About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate – United States Dollar Index 1-3 Year (the “Index”).
- The Fund invests in a representative sample of bonds included in the Index in order to closely match the Index’s capital and income return.
- The Index measures the performance of a broad spread of US dollar denominated bonds paying a fixed rate of interest which are issued by companies.
- Bonds in the Index have maturities of between one and three years and are generally investment grade.
- To a lesser extent, the Fund may invest in bonds outside the Index where the risk and return characteristics of such bonds closely resemble those of the constituents of the Index.
Why this fund
- This Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index.
- In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund aims to provide a return (comprising both income and capital appreciation) which, before application of fees and expenses, is similar to the return of the Index.
- The Fund employs a “passive management” – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, designed to track the performance of the Index.
- In tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund will invest in a portfolio of fixed-rate dollar-denominated corporate bonds (including subordinated and callable bonds) that so far as possible and practicable consist of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index.
