Objective & Strategy

The Investment Objective of the Sub-Fund aims to provide Shareholders with (i) a positive return at the Maturity Date linked to the performance of a basket of global equity indices and (ii) a Dividend on each Dividend Payment Date. In order to achieve its Investment Objective, the Sub-Fund may invest in Equity Instruments of developed market countries and Debt Instruments, including government and/or corporate bonds with a preference for Investment Grade government bonds issued by issuers located in any country and/or Investment Grade/non-Investment Grade Debt Instruments (including subordinated and non-subordinated debt securities) issued by credit institutions and/or insurance companies authorised to operate in the European Union and/or the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and/or the United States of America. The Equity Instruments will be made up of a minimum of 70% exposure to developed market companies which take account of environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors. The Fund will then enter into certain Financial Derivative Instruments (“FDI”) which may include equity swaps and/or total return swaps which may provide an exposure to equity indices weighted in favour of ESG indices comprising large cap and mid to small-cap global equities. The Fund may also engage in the use of forwards and Credit Default Swaps. The Fund may also engage in securities lending for efficient portfolio management purposes and may use additional FDI to those described in the investment policy section of the Fund for investment purposes, hedging and risk reduction. The Sub-Fund is actively managed and is not managed in reference to a benchmark. This KIID should be read in conjunction with the section entitled “Definitions” in the Prospectus and in the Sub-Fund Supplement.
