The Fund aims to provide regular income and capital growth by tracking as closely as possible the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index (total return hedged to US dollars) (the Index). The Index is comprised of investment grade bonds (and other similar securities). The Index is multi-currency but is hedged to US dollars. The Index includes treasury, government-related, corporate and securitised fixed-rate bonds from developed and emerging markets issuers. The Fund is passively managed and invests in, or gain exposure to: bonds issued by governments, government-related entities, supranational bodies and companies based in developed and emerging markets, asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities, and covered bonds, all of which are Index constituents. The Fund utilises an investment technique called optimisation, which seeks to minimise the difference in return between the Fund and the Index by taking into account tracking error and trading costs when constructing a portfolio.
