Past performance is not a guide to future performance
Performance basis: Mid to mid, in the share class reference currency, gross of tax payable by the Fund with income reinvested. Net figures are net of ongoing charges and fees. Net and Gross performance does not include the effect of any exit or entry charge.
The Fund's performance is compared and the Fund's global exposure is monitored against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index (the “Benchmark” or the “Index”).
Please note that this is a hedged share class, and due to interest rate differential and costs associated with performing the hedging activity, this share class will have a different outcome to the equivalent share class in the base currency. For further information on Sustainability Risk please refer to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure sectionFund commentary
Summary review
Global investment grade corporate bonds posted gains in February. Performance was mostly driven by underlying global sovereign bonds, with benchmark yields falling across all the major markets.

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.
Asset Backed Securities and Mortgage Backed Securities: The Fund may invest in asset‑backed securities, whose value depends on the performance of the underlying loans or receivables. Changes in interest rates, early or late repayments, or complex payment structures can reduce or delay returns. In stressed market conditions, asset‑backed securities can become less liquid and more difficult to value or sell.
Collateralised Loan Obligations: In addition to standard debt and ABS risks (e.g., interest rate, credit and default risk), CDOs and CLOs involve further risks, including: (i) collateral cash flows may be insufficient to meet interest or other payments; (ii) collateral may decline in value, be downgraded or default; (iii) a Fund may hold subordinated tranches exposed to higher losses; and (iv) their complex structures can be hard to fully assess, creating valuation challenges, potential disputes with issuers, or unexpected investment outcomes.
Contingent Convertibles securities risk: Contingent convertible bonds (CoCos), often classified as Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital instruments, are high‑yield, high‑risk hybrid securities issued primarily by banks. They automatically convert to equity or are written down when the issuer’s capital deteriorates. This makes them structurally riskier than traditional bonds.
Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
