Investment Objectives

Maximize total return by investing primarily in investment-grade debt instruments of issuers anywhere in the world while following a sustainable investment approach.

Investment Strategy

Generally, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in debt instruments of issuers anywhere in the world. The Fund may invest in Mainland China through the Bond Connect or directly. The Fund may invest in debt instruments of any maturity, but will normally maintain a portfolio whose average effective duration is within 30% of the average duration of the U.S. bond market as a whole, as estimated by the sub-advisor.
