The objective of the Fund is to provide a combination of growth and income by outperforming the Bloomberg Global Corporates 1-5 Year Index, the"Benchmark Index", before the deduction of any charges and measured over rolling five-year periods. As the Fund will be actively managed, the combined duration of the bonds and derivatives in which it invests may differ from that of the Benchmark Index but the Fund’s absolute duration will remain positive. The average duration of the Fund’s portfolio is expected to be between 0 years and 3.5 years. The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing in a broad range of bonds and bond-related instruments denominated predominantly in USD, Euro and GBP. The Fund will invest at least 70% in corporate bonds. The Fund will invest primarily in debt rated by a recognised rating agency as investment grade (rated as lower risk). The Fund may also invest in unrated bonds which have not been rated by a credit rating agency. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities, including but not limited to, depository receipts, permitted deposits, warrants, money market instruments, cash, near cash and units in collective investment schemes. The Fund promotes a range of environmental and social characteristics. The Fund seeks to meet these characteristics by; Investing in bonds and bond-related instruments of issuers which meet the Investment Manager’s net zero framework by targeting: (i) an implied temperature alignment of the Fund according to the Investment Manager’s proprietary climate model, Destination@Risk, of below 2.75⁰C at fund inception reducing to 1.5⁰C by 2030 onwards, and (ii) an initial minimum weighted average carbon intensity reduction target of at least 33% at fund inception versus the benchmark’s December 2019 baseline level. The Fund will target a 50% carbon intensity reduction by 2030 and net zero by 2050. Excluding investments in bonds issued by companies in the LGIM Future World Protection List ("FWPL"). Excluding companies from the Fund which do not meet the Manager’s "Climate Impact Pledge", in order to encourage strong governance and sustainable strategies. Utilising the Investment Manager’s proprietary UN Sustainable Development Goal ("UN SDG") scoring process to assess the extent to which a company or sovereign aligns to the SDGs. Companies and/or sovereigns that demonstrate a negative alignment to one or more of the SDGs will be excluded from the portfolio, including companies generating significant revenues from tobacco production. In addition to the exclusions above, the Fund will also exclude investments in bonds where an issuer makes investments in new thermal coal or oil sands. Derivatives may also be used to protect or enhance the value of the Fund or to seek to reduce the risks of certain investments. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based upon the price of one or more other asset(s).
