Summary review
The spreads of global investment-grade corporate bonds narrowed in January on broadly constructive risk appetite, despite renewed worries about tariffs early in the month. In the fund, our short positions in the long end of both the sterling and US dollar curves were beneficial.

Risks
Investment risk & Currency risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Credit and interest rate risk
Bond values are affected by changes in interest rates and the bond issuer's creditworthiness. Bonds that offer the potential for a higher income typically have a greater risk of default.
Illiquid Securities Risk
Some investments could be hard to value or to sell at a desired time, or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities). As a result their prices can be volatile.
Sustainability Risk
The level of sustainability risk may fluctuate depending on which investment opportunities the Investment Manager identifies. This means that the fund is exposed to Sustainability Risk which may impact the value of investments over the long term.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
