The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to track the performance of the Markit iBoxx MSCI ESG USD Asia ex-Japan High Yield Capped Index within an acceptable tracking error (which will take into account, amongst other things, the fees and expenses incurred) while seeking to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the Index. In order to achieve its investment objective, the Sub-Fund will invest in a portfolio of fixed income securities that, as far as possible and practicable, consist of the constituent securities of the Index. The types of fixed income securities in which the Sub-Fund may invest are US dollar-denominated, sub-investment grade, fixed-rate corporate securities issued by emerging market companies in Asia (excluding Japan) and traded in the U.S. and Europe.
