The Fund aims to achieve a high level of income together with long term capital growth, while maintaining a lower carbon intensity than that of the Fund’s benchmark. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in global noninvestment grade debt securities (including emerging markets), most of which are issued by corporate issuers, and which meet the Fund’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria as further detailed below. Such securities are selected based on fundamental credit research, together with an assessment of risk to evaluate the relative attractiveness of an instrument. While the investment universe and mandate is global in nature, the US currently makes up a significant portion of the investment universe and therefore it is likely that the Fund will have a concentration of exposure to issuers in the US.
