The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted and Scaled Index (the “Index”), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of the global investment-grade bond market and comprises fixed-income securities issued by governments, government-related agencies, corporate issuers and securitised entities, with maturities greater than one year. The Fund invests in a representative sample of bonds included in the Index and may invest to a lesser extent in similar bonds outside the Index. The Fund’s base currency is USD, and this share class uses currency hedging techniques to minimise the risks associated with exchange-rate movements against GBP. Income is reinvested.
