abrdn SICAV II - Euro Corporate Bond Fund, D Acc EUR Shares/  LU0177497814  /

The Fund aims to achieve a combination of income and growth by investing in bonds (which are like loans that can pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies, governments or other bodies. The Fund aims to outperform the iBoxx Euro Corporates Index (EUR) benchmark (before charges). The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in Euro denominated investment grade bonds issued by corporations. The Fund may invest up to 20% in sub-investment grade bonds. The Fund may invest in a wide range of bonds (e.g. government, convertible, supranational, government-backed, index-linked, asset backed and mortgage backed) in order to take advantage of opportunities identified by our investment team. Non-Euro denominated assets will typically be hedged back to Euro. Investment in corporate bonds will follow the abrdn "Euro Corporate Bond Promoting ESG Investment Approach" (the "Investment Approach"). This approach utilises abrdn's fixed income investment process, which enables portfolio managers to qualitatively assess how ESG factors are likely to impact on the company's ability to repay its debt, both now and in the future. To complement this research, the abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. In addition, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions, which are related to the UN Global Compact, Controversial Weapons, Tobacco Manufacturing and Thermal Coal. Green bonds, Social bonds or Sustainable bonds issued by companies otherwise excluded by the environmental screens are permitted, where the proceeds of such issues can be confirmed as having a positive environmental impact. Further detail of this overall process is captured within the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre". Financial derivative instruments, money-market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
