Fund overview

Objective: The objective of the Fund is to earn income and increase the value of the Shareholder's investment while delivering a return equivalent to the Bloomberg Global High Yield Bond Excl CMBS & EMG 2% Cap 1-5 Year Maturity Index over the long term (5 years or more).

Investment Policy: The Sub-Fund invests primarily in high yield bonds with a maturity of 5 years or less, that are issued by corporations anywhere in the world, with an emphasis on North America and Europe.

Specifically, at all times, the Sub-Fund invests at least two-thirds of total net assets (excluding ancillary liquid assets, eligible deposits, money market instruments and money market funds) in bonds that are rated below BBB- by Standard and Poor’s and Fitch or Baa3 by Moody’s, or unrated securities considered of equivalent credit quality based on the Investment Manager’s internal assessment.

The Sub‑Fund can invest across a range of fixed‑income securities from different issuers and markets, including both traditional bonds and more specialised instruments. It may also hold a small portion of higher‑risk or unrated securities as part of its broader investment flexibility. Details of specific limits applying to these asset types can be found in the Key investor information Document (KIID) or the Fund’s Prospectus

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 against the Bloomberg Global High Yield Bond Excl CMBS & EMG 2% Cap 1-5 Year Index (the “Benchmark” or the “Index”).

Read more about Fixed Income Style Fixed Income Style (as at 28/02/2026)

The Fixed Income Style Box shows the fund's overall interest rate sensitivity (horizontal axis) and credit quality (vertical axis). It is created by classifying the fund's fixed income holdings according to interest rate sensitivity (measured by average duration) and credit quality.
In general, higher percentages in the upper left-hand quadrants of the Style Box represent a conservative fixed-income exposure for the fund, with bonds of investment-grade quality and short to intermediate bond maturity. Conversely, larger percentages in the lower right-hand portions of the Style box represent a riskier fixed-income allocation for the fund, although one that may produce higher yields.
Legend:
Ltd: Limited. Duration <= 4.5 years
Mod: Moderate. Duration >4.5 and <= 7 years
Ext: Extensive. Duration >7.0 years.

Low: Low quality (average credit < BBB)
Mid: Medium quality (average credit rating < AA and >= BBB)
High: High quality (average credit rating AAA or AA).

Credit Quality

Globally, credit rating from Fixed Income Survey provided by fund company: Government, AAA , AA, A , BBB, BB, B, Below B and Not Rated. AAA bonds carry the highest credit rating. For the purpose of Morningstar's calculations, U.S. government bonds are considered AAA. For municipal bonds, anything at or below BBB is considered a high-yield or junk bond. Nonrated municipal bonds generally are classified as BBB. Other nonrated bonds generally are considered B. Morningstar base on the surveyed credit quality breakdown to calculate the average credit quality, please refer to the methodology paper for more detail.

The interest rate risk refers to the chance that investments in fixed income funds will suffer as the result of unexpected interest rate changes.

Avg Eff Maturity Read more about Avg Eff Maturity

Average effective maturity is a weighted average of all the maturities of the bonds in a portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's effective maturity by the market value of the security. Average effective maturity takes into consideration all mortgage prepayments, puts, and adjustable coupons. Longer-maturity funds are generally considered more interest-rate sensitive than their shorter counterparts. We list Average Effective Maturity for Taxable Fixed-Income and Hybrid funds and Average Nominal Maturity for Municipal Bond Funds. Since this is collected by survey, it is important to bear in mind that different fund companies may use different interest-rate assumptions in determining call likelihood and timing. Generally speaking, the longer the maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. When duration is unavailable, this is used in the calculation of the fixed-income style box.

3.76

Avg Eff Duration Read more about Avg Eff Duration

A measure of a fund's interest-rate sensitivity - the longer a fund's duration, the more sensitive the fund is to shifts in interest rates. Duration is determined by a formula that includes coupon rates and bond maturities. Small coupons tend to increase duration, while shorter maturities and higher coupons shorten duration. The relationship between funds with different durations is straightforward: A fund with a duration of 10 years is twice as volatile as a fund with a five-year duration.

Risks

Investment Risk
The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up. 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.

Derivatives Risk
Investments can be made in derivatives, which can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, meaning significant losses may be incurred.

Investor in funds
Investments can be made in other funds; this could mean the overall charges are higher.

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.

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.

Emerging Markets Risk: Compared to developed markets, emerging markets can have greater political instability and limited investor rights and freedoms, and their securities can carry higher equity, market, liquidity, credit and currency risk.

Distressed Securities Risk: Securities issued by companies/public bodies undergoing financial pressure due to possible bankruptcy, re-structuration, or other financial turmoil. Changing market conditions may have a greater adverse impact on such securities.

Full information on risks applicable to the Fund are in the Prospectus and the Key Investor Information Document (KIID).
