Objective & Strategy

Objectives and Investment Policy The Investment Objective of the Sub-Fund is to (i) aim to provide Shareholders with a Dividend on each Dividend Payment Date and (ii) seek to protect the Fund’s Net Asset Value per Share at 100% of the Initial Offer Price at the Maturity Date. In order to achieve its Investment Objective, the Sub-Fund will invest in 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 Fund will enter into certain Financial Derivative Instruments (“FDI”) which may include Inflation Linked Swaps in which it will swap out an amount equal to the coupon it receives on the Debt Instruments it has purchased in return for payments received from an OTC counterparty. The Fund may also engage in the use of forwards and Credit Default Swaps. In particular, in order to generate additional income, the Fund may engage in the practice of selling or buying Credit Default Swaps (“CDS”) on an index, while simultaneously entering into CDS to either buy or sell all of the individual constituents of the aforementioned index. By doing so, the Fund can profit from exploiting price differences between the index without being exposed to any default risk in respect of the underlying of the various CDS. The Fund may also invest principally in Debt Instruments and/or Money Market/Short Term Instruments during the Subscription Period, approaching the Maturity Date and after the Maturity Date. The Fund may 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. This KIID should be read in conjunction with the section entitled “Definitions” in the Prospectus and in the Sub-Fund Supplement. The Fund is not managed in reference to a benchmark. Portfolio composition is determined based on active investment decisions and hence the Fund is actively managed. There can be no guarantee that the investment objective will actually be attained and investors are explicitly warned that the Fund is not a capital guaranteed product. Investors can ask the Fund to buy back their Shares on any business day in Luxembourg. Investors can ask for full or partial repayment of the Shares held. Recommended for retail investors
