Principal assets traded: Bonds, other debt securities and money market instruments denominated in USD and issued by private sector issuers rated below BBB- from one of the rating agencies at the time of acquisition, or unrated but considered of comparable quality (i.e. issuers considered as highly risky). Investment strategy: The fund seeks maximum current income through investment in a diversified portfolio of high-yield debt securities and to outperform the benchmark. The Fund seeks to identify investment opportunities by analyzing individual companies and evaluating each company's competitive position, financial condition and business prospects. In times of unusual or adverse market, economic or political conditions, the sub-fund may temporarily invest mainly or entirely in investment grade debt securities and other high quality money market instruments. The Fund does not have a sustainable investment objective and does not specifically promote environmental and/or social characteristics. This share class aims to reduce the effect of fluctuations in exchange rates between the reference currency of the sub-fund USD and the GBP (the currency in which the share class is denominated). This reduces the foreign exchange risk but does not eliminate it entirely. The fund may use derivative products both for investment and hedging purposes (hedging against unfavourable future financial events).
