To achieve a combination of income and capital growth (total return). Specifically, the Sub-Fund seeks to outperform (after applicable fees) the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Hedged (USD) index over the recommended holding period. The Sub-Fund invests at least 67% of assets in debt instruments that are issued or guaranteed by OECD governments or issued by corporate entities. There are no currency constraints on these investments. The Sub-Fund may invest less than 25%of the net assets in Chinese bonds denominated in local currency and investments may be made indirectly or directly (i.e. via Direct CIBM access). The Sub-Fund's exposure to MBSs and ABSs is limited to 40% of net assets. This includes indirect exposure gained through to-be-announced securities (TBA), which is limited to 20% of net assets. The Sub-Fund invests at least 80% of assets in investment-grade securities. The Sub-Fund makes use of derivatives to reduce various risks, for efficient portfolio management and as a way to gain exposure (long or short) to various assets, markets or other investment opportunities (including derivatives which focus on credit interest rates and foreign exchange). The Sub-Fund does not aim to replicate the reference indicator and may therefore significantly deviate from it. The investment team uses a wide range of strategic and tactical positions, including arbitrage among credit, interest rate and currency markets, in assembling a highly diversified portfolio. The distribution share pays dividends monthly. The minimum recommended holding term is 3 years. Shares may be sold or redeemed (and/or converted) on any dealing day (except otherwise stated in the prospectus) at the respective dealing price (net asset value) in accordance with the articles of incorporation. Further details are provided in the prospectus of the UCITS.
