The Fund aims to provide regular income and capital growth by tracking as closely as possible the performance of the FTSE World Broad Investment-Grade USD Multilateral Development Bank Bond Capped (the Index). The Fund is classified under Article 9 of SFDR. The Fund achieves its sustainable investment objective by tracking the Index which has a methodology aligned with that sustainable objective and so the Index has been designated as the Fund's reference benchmark for the purpose of attaining that sustainable objective. The Fund will invest in bonds issued by select multilateral development banks the proceeds of which financially support sustainable economic development in developing countries. The Index measures the performance of US dollar-denominated bonds issued by select multilateral development banks in the FTSE World Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index and includes issuers with a minimum credit quality of BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody's. The market weight of the issuers is capped at 25%. The Index includes the bonds issued by multilateral development banks that are supranational institutions to promote sustainable economic development in developing countries, by financially supporting their sustainable development goals, or by providing non-financial support for infrastructure development, such as policy advice or technical assistance.
