Investment objective The objective of the Fund is to seek to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which generally reflects the return of the Bloomberg SASB Scored US Corporate Ex-Controversies Select Index. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg SASB Scored US Corporate Ex-Controversies Select Index (the "Index") as closely as possible. The Fund is an index tracking fund (also known as a passively managed fund). Investment policies The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. The Index is an investment grade (high quality), fixed-rate, U. S. dollar-denominated benchmark that optimizes its R-Factor™ score, an environmental, social and governance ("ESG") rating, provided by State Street Global Advisors®. Based on the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index (the "U.S. Corporate Index"), the Index selects securities eligible for the U.S. Corporate Index, then aims to exclude certain issuers based on their ESG characteristics considering both their ESG rating and their involvement in certain controversial business activities as outlined in the Index methodology. Then, the Index weights securities using an optimisation process, in order to seek to maximise the portfolio ESG rating, while controlling for active total risk. The active total risk refers to the variation between the Index and the U.S. Corporate Index. At least 90% of the Fund's assets are invested in securities that are constituents of the Index, while the Index provider applies ESG ratings on all of the Index constituents. It is expected that the resulting portfolio ESG rating will be higher than the portfolio ESG rating of the U.S. Corporate Index after applying a filter eliminating at least 20% of the least well rated securities, by ESG rating, from the U.S. Corporate Index. There may be potential inconsistencies, inaccuracy or lack of availability of the ESG data, particularly when issued by external data providers. There may also be potential inconsistencies with the ESG screening methodology of the Index (criteria, approaches, constraints). Details about the limits are described in the Supplement. As it may be difficult to purchase all securities in the Index efficiently, in seeking to track the performance of the Index the Fund will use a stratified sampling strategy to build a representative portfolio. Consequently, the Fund will typically hold only a subset of the securities included in the Index. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics in accordance with SFDR Article 8. These environmental and social characteristics are detailed in the SFDR Annex of the Fund's Supplement. The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (that is, financial contracts whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying assets) in order to manage the portfolio efficiently. Save in exceptional circumstances, the Fund will generally only issue and redeem shares to certain institutional investors. However, shares of the Fund may be purchased or sold through brokers on one or more stock exchanges. The Fund trades on these stock exchanges at market prices which may fluctuate throughout the day. Market prices may be greater or less than the daily net asset value of the Fund. The Fund does not currently engage in securities lending. The Shares of the USD Class are issued in U.S. Dollar. Any income earned by the Fund will be retained and reflected in an increase in the value of the shares. Shareholders may redeem shares on any UK business day (other than days on which relevant financial markets are closed for business and/or the day preceding any such day provided that a list of such closed market days will be published for the Fund on www.ssga.com); and any other day at the Directors' discretion (acting reasonably) provided Shareholders are notified in advance of any such days.

The Index provider does not provide any warranty or accept any liability in relation to any error relating to the Index, including any error in respect of the quality, accuracy or completeness of Index data, and does not guarantee that the Index will be in line with the described Index methodology.
