Overview
- Summary of Fund Objective
- What Are The Key Risks?
Summary of Fund Objective
To seek to maximise income and growth of capital (total return). The Fund mainly invests in asset- and mortgage-backed securities that are not issued by governments or guaranteed by US government agencies. These investments may be from anywhere in the world, including emerging markets. These investments may be investment grade, below investment grade or unrated. The Fund will attempt to hedge almost all non-USD exposure to USD.
What Are The Key Risks?
There is no guarantee that the fund will remain in the indicator category shown above and the categorisation of the fund may shift over time. Historical data, which is used in calculating the indicator, may not be a reliable indicator of the future risk profile of this fund. The lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment. The fund does not offer any capital guarantee or protection and you may not get back the amount invested.
The indicator is based on the volatility of the returns (past performance) of the reported share class (calculated on a 5 year rolling return basis). Where a share class is inactive / has less than 5 years of returns, the indicator is based on the internal risk limit adopted by the fund.
The fund is in its risk/reward category because investments in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, along with the extensive use of derivatives, have historically been subject to relatively small fluctuations in value.
The fund is subject to the following risks which are materially relevant but may not be adequately captured by the indicator:
Asset-backed securities: The timing and size of the cash-flow from asset-backed securities is not fully assured and could result in loss for the fund. These types of investments may also be difficult for the fund to sell quickly.
Bonds: There is a risk that issuers of bonds held by the fund may not be able to repay the investment or pay the interest due on it, leading to losses for the fund. Bond values are affected by the market's view of the above risk, and by changes in interest rates and inflation.
Mortgage-backed securities: The timing and size of the cash-flow from mortgage-backed securities is not fully assured and could result in loss for the fund. These types of investments may also be difficult for the fund to sell quickly.
Derivatives: The use of derivatives can result in greater fluctuations of the fund's value and may cause the fund to lose as much as or more than the amount invested.
Fund counterparties: The fund may suffer losses if the parties that it trades with cannot meet their financial obligations.
Fund operations: The fund is subject to the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems or those of third parties such as those responsible for the custody of its assets, especially to the extent that it invests in developing countries.
Hedging: The fund may use derivatives to reduce the risk of movements in exchange rates between the currency of the investments held by the fund and base currency of the fund itself (hedging). However, hedging transactions can also expose the fund to additional risks, such as the risk that the counterparty to the transaction may not be able to make its payments, which may result in loss to the fund.
Interest rates: Changes in interest rates may negatively affect the value of the fund. Typically as interest rates rise, bond values fall.
Liquidity: In certain circumstances it may be difficult to sell the fund's investments because there may not be enough demand for them in the markets, in which case the fund may not be able to minimise a loss on such investments.
Low rated bonds: The fund may invest in lower rated or unrated bonds of similar quality, which carry a higher degree of risk than higher rated bonds.
For further explanation on the risks associated with an investment in the fund, please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the base prospectus and "Primary Risks" in the fund supplement.Complete information on the risks of investing in the Fund are set out in the Fund’s prospectus.

Footnotes
The Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) includes the fees paid to the management company, the investment manager and the depository, as well as certain other expenses. The OCF is calculated by taking the relevant main material costs paid out over the 12-month period indicated and dividing them by the average net assets over the same period. The OCF does not include all expenses paid by the fund (for example, it does not include what the fund pays for buying and selling securities). For a comprehensive list of the types of costs deducted from fund assets, see the prospectus. For recent all-in annual costs, as well as hypothetical performance scenarios that show the effects that different levels of return could have on an investment in the fund, see the KID.
For funds that lack 12 months of data, or for which OCF is not likely to give a fair idea of likely future costs, the figure shown is an estimate.
The charges are the fees the fund charges to investors to cover the costs of running the Fund. Additional costs, including transaction fees, will also be incurred. These costs are paid out by the Fund, which will impact on the overall return of the Fund.
Fund charges will be incurred in multiple currencies, meaning that payments may increase or decrease as a result of currency exchange fluctuations.
All charges will be paid out by the Fund, which will impact on the overall return of the Fund.The average credit quality (ACQ) rating may change over time. The portfolio itself has not been rated by an independent rating agency. The letter rating, which may be based on bond ratings from different agencies (or internal ratings for unrated bonds, cash and equivalents), is provided to indicate the average credit rating of the portfolio's underlying investments and generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). For unrated bonds, cash and equivalents, ratings may be assigned based on the ratings of the issuer, the ratings of the underlying holdings of a pooled investment vehicle, or other relevant factors. The ACQ is determined by assigning a sequential integer to all credit ratings AAA to D, taking a simple, asset-weighted average of investments by market value and rounding to the nearest rating. The risk of default increases as a bond's rating decreases, so the ACQ provided is not a statistical measurement of the portfolio’s default risk because a simple, weighted average does not measure the increasing level of risk from lower-rated bonds. The ACQ may be lower if cash and equivalents are excluded from the calculation. The ACQ is provided for informational purposes only. Derivative positions are not reflected in the ACQ.
