The Fund is an actively-managed Exchange-Traded Fund (“ETF”), which aims to seek total return by investing in a portfolio of corporate bonds that meet certain environmental, social, and corporate governance (“ESG”) criteria.
- Total return means returns incorporating income and capital growth.
- To achieve the investment objective, the Fund will generally invest in a portfolio of fixed rate euro denominated unsecured corporate bonds from global issuers with an investment grade credit rating and less than or equal to 5 years until maturity which are selected based on two criteria: 1) compliance with the Fund’s ESG policy (the “ESG Policy”); and 2) attractiveness determined in accordance with the Investment Manager’s quantitative investment model.
