Coutts Actively Managed Global Investment Grade Credit Fund C GBP H

The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) issued in global developed markets and emerging markets by corporate issuers or government-related issuers (including governments, foreign agencies, supranational bodies (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) and local authorities) which are investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness) and instruments related to such FI securities, including financial derivative instruments (FDI) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in emerging markets and up to 10% in asset backed and mortgage backed securities (i.e. financial securities backed by cash flows from debt). The Fund may also invest in FI securities which are high yield (i.e. non-investment grade) and instruments related to such FI securities, money market) instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities), deposits and cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund may hold a significant proportion of its assets in money market funds, money market instruments, deposits and cash for an initial period of at most one month from the date of launch of the Fund (Initial Period). With full effect from the end of the Initial Period, the investment manager (IM) will take into account certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) related characteristics when determining whether an investment is appropriate for the Fund (although ESG is not the sole consideration). The IM will do this by seeking to limit and/or exclude direct investment in corporate issuers which, in the opinion of the IM, have exposure to, or other ties with, certain activities including but not limited to issuers involved in the manufacture and sale of certain types of controversial weapons, the manufacture of nuclear weapons and issuers engaged in the exploration, extraction and/or generation of power from certain types of fossil fuels. Such activities are set out in full at https://www.blackrock.com/uk/individual/literature/ prospectus/blackrock-solutions-funds-icav-esg-policy-emea-gb-en.pdf The Fund may obtain indirect exposure (e.g. through FDIs) to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. The Fund is actively managed. The IM has discretion to select the Fund’s investments. In doing so, the IM will refer to the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Global Aggregate Credit ex Controversial and Nuclear Weapons Bond USD Hedged Index (the Index) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IM is not bound to the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IM may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. The Fund is designed to provide investors with a relative gross return in excess of the Index by typically taking a conservative level of active risk in order to seek a commensurate return with respect to management fees over the medium term (i.e. 3 years or more). The Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund. The IM may use FDIs to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective and to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund is expected, via FDIs, to generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for short-term investment. Your shares will be distributing shares (i.e. dividend income will be paid on the shares quarterly based on the income received on the Fund’s assets). The Fund’s base currency is US Dollar. Shares for this class are bought and sold in Sterling. The performance of your shares may be affected by this currency difference. Your shares will be “hedged” with the aim of reducing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between their denominated currency and the base currency of the Fund. The hedging strategy may not completely eliminate currency risk and, therefore, may affect the performance of your shares. You can buy and sell your shares daily. The minimum initial investment for this share class is £200,000,000.
