Strategie
The objective of this Sub-Fund is to track the performance of Bloomberg Euro Corporate Bond Index (the 'Index'), and to minimize the tracking error between the net asset value of the Sub-Fund and the performance of the Index. The Sub-Fund aims to achieve a level of tracking error of the Sub- Fund and its Index that will not normally exceed 1%. The Bloomberg Euro Corporate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, euro-denominated, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Inclusion is based on currency denomination of a bond and not country of risk of the issuer. The Index is a Total Return Index : the coupons paid by the Index constituents are included in the Index return.
The exposure to the Index will be achieved through a direct replication, mainly by making direct investments in transferable securities and/or other eligible assets representing the Index constituents. The Sub-Fund intends to implement a sampled replication model in order to track the performance of the Index and it is therefore not expected that the Sub-Fund will hold each and every underlying component of the Index at all times or hold them in the same proportion as their weightings in the Index. The Sub-Fund may also hold some securities which are not underlying components of the Index. The Investment Manager will be able to use derivatives in order to deal with inflows and outflows and which relate to the Index or constituents of the Index for investment and/or efficient portfolio management.
