HSBC Global Funds ICAV - Global Aggregate Bond Index Fund SCH/  IE00BFMN8F25  /

The Index is comprised of investment grade bonds (and other similar securities). The Index is multi-currency but is hedged to US dollars. The Index includes treasury, government-related, corporate and securitised fixed-rate bonds from developed and emerging markets issuers. The Fund is passively managed and invests in, or gain exposure to: bonds issued by governments, government-related entities, supranational bodies and companies based in developed and emerging markets, asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities and commercial mortgage backed securities, and covered bonds, all of which are Index constituents. The Fund utilises an investment technique called optimisation, which seeks to minimise the difference in return between the Fund and the Index by taking into account tracking error and trading costs when constructing a portfolio. The Fund will not necessarily invest in every constituent of the Index. If the overall portfolio matches the characteristics of the Index, the Fund can also invest in assets outside of the Index, such as: bonds with a credit rating of Ba1, BB+ and below, securities which are expected to provide similar performance and risk characteristics to certain Index constituents.
