Objective
The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Funds’ investments, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund, aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index and comply with its credit rating requirements. If the credit ratings of the FI securities are downgraded, the Fund may continue to hold them until they cease to form part of the Index and it is practicable to sell them. The Index measures the performance of the US dollar-denominated taxable bond market. The FI securities may be issued by the US Treasury, government agencies and companies and may include asset-backed, commercial mortgage-backed and mortgage-backed securities (i.e. financial securities backed by cash flows from debt). The FI securities will be denominated in US Dollars, will pay income according to a fixed rate of interest and will, at the time of inclusion in the Index, be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness). Only bonds with a minimum remaining time to maturity of one year are considered for inclusion in the Index. These may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value).
