Stocks and Shares ISAObjective
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 Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays US Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class also aims to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations between the Fund's underlying portfolio currencies and Sterling on your returns. 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, combined with foreign currency contracts for currency hedging. The Index measures the performance of the United States Treasury Inflation Protected Bond market (US TIPS). It comprises inflation-linked bonds issued by the US Treasury. Inflation-linked bonds have a principal value that is protected against inflation. The bonds will be denominated in US Dollars and pay coupon (i.e. interest) and principal in US Dollars. The bonds will, at the time of inclusion in the Index, be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness) so long as the United States maintains its investment grade credit rating. The Index only includes capital indexed bonds with a remaining maturity (i.e. the period until repayment) of one year or more and a minimum amount outstanding of US$500 million. 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. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets).
