This Sub-Fund is passively managed. The objective of this Sub-Fund is to track the performance of Bloomberg MSCI ESG Global Corporate A+ 1-5 Year Select Index (the "Index") and to minimize the tracking error between the net asset value of the Sub-Fund and the performance of the Index. The anticipated level of tracking error under normal market conditions is indicated in the Sub-Fund’s prospectus. The Index is a Total Return Index: the coupons paid by the index constituents are included in the index return. The Sub-Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics through among others, replicating an Index integrating an environmental, social and governance ("ESG") rating. The Index is a bond index comprising multi-currency fixed-rate, investment-grade corporate debt with between 1 and up to, but not including, 5 years remaining to maturity that applies sector and additional ESG criteria for security eligibility described in Appendix I – ESG Related Disclosures to this Prospectus. The Index follows a selectivity approach that permits the reduction by at least 20% of the initial investment universe (expressed in number of issuers). The Index methodology is constructed using a "Best-in-class approach": best ranked companies are selected to construct the Index. "Best-in-class" is an approach where leading or best-performing investments are selected within a universe, industry sector or class. It excludes companies falling behind on an ESG level, particularly on the basis of ESG ratings. Using such Best-in-class approach, the Index follows an extra-financial approach significantly engaging that permits the reduction by at least 20% of the initial investment universe (expressed in number of issuers). The ESG key issues include for instance, but are not limited to, water stress, carbon emissions, labor management or business ethics. The limits of the approach adopted are described in the Sub-Fund's prospectus through risk factors such as Sustainable investment risk. The ESG score of companies is calculated by an ESG rating agency, using raw data, models and estimates collected/calculated using methods specific to each provider. Due to the lack of standardisation and the uniqueness of each methodology, the information provided may be incomplete. Assessment of sustainability risks is complex and may be based on ESG data which is difficult to obtain, incomplete, estimated, out of date and/or otherwise materially inaccurate. Even when identified, there can be no guarantee that these data will be correctly assessed. The Index applies exclusions to companies involved in activities considered non-aligned with the Paris Climate Agreement (coal extraction, oil, etc.). For further information on the exclusions applied by the Index pursuant to the EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks (PAB), please refer to the "Guidelines on funds’ names using ESG or sustainability-related terms" section of the Prospectus. More information about the composition of the Index and its operating rules are available in the prospectus and at: www.Bloomberg.com. The exposure to the Index will be achieved through a direct replication, mainly by making direct investments in transferable securities and/or other eligible assets representing the Index constituents. The sub-fund intends to implement a sampled replication model in order to track the performance of the Index and it is therefore not expected that the sub-fund will hold each and every underlying component of the Index at all times or hold them in the same proportion as their weightings in the Index. The sub-fund may also hold some securities which are not underlying components of the Index. The limits of the approach adopted are described in the Sub-Fund's prospectus through risk factors such as Sustainable investment risk. The ESG score of companies is calculated by a proprietary ESG scoring process (Index provider’s), using raw data, models and estimates models and estimates collected/calculated using methods specific to each provider. Due to the lack of standardisation and the uniqueness of each methodology, the information provided may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable and as a result, there is a risk that the Investment Manager may incorrectly assess a security or issuer. The Investment Manager will be able to use derivatives in order to deal with inflows and outflows and which relate to the Index or constituents of the Index for investment and/or efficient portfolio management. In order to generate additional income to offset its costs, the Sub-Fund may also enter into securities lending operations. In order to hedge the currency of the share against the currency of the index, the Fund uses a hedging strategy which reduces the impact of changes between the currency of the Index and the currency of the share class.

GCBH is hedged to GBP; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.

Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the GBP-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
