Capital is at risk. The value of your investment may go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invested. Investors should read the key risks section and important information section of this page, KIID and Prospectus prior to investing.
GLOSSARY
Collateralised Loan Obligation (CLO): Securities backed by corporate debt assets. Both CLO securities and underlying assets are typically floating-rate, meaning a regular but variable interest payment is received as it is tied to a benchmark rate (typically EURIBOR in Europe and SOFR in the US). CLO securities are issued in multiple classes ranging from rated debt notes (typically AAA to BB/single-B) to first-loss equity notes. The principal and interest received from CLO’s assets is allocated sequentially between the classes. The payment of interest and principal to holders of CLO equity notes will only be made from the cash flows received on the CLO’s assets after senior ranking classes and expenses of the CLO have been sequentially paid, starting from the most senior class outstanding. CLO debt is sequentially protected by loss-absorbing junior-ranking notes, while the equity note bears the first risk default on the CLO’s assets.
Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) classification: Article 8 indicates that the product promotes environmental or social characteristics.
Total Expense Ratio (TER): A measure of the total costs per annum associated with managing and operating the product. This primarily consists of management fees and operating expenses such as trustee, custody or registrations costs. Expressed as a percentage of assets under management.
Current yield: Weighted average current coupon of assets held by the portfolio divided by the weighted current market price of the portfolio. Expressed as a percentage. The coupon of a CLO is typically paid quarterly and is tied to a reference rate (typically EURIBOR in Europe and SOFR in the US). Expressed as a percentage.
Spread to maturity: The discount margin over the benchmark rate (typically EURIBOR in Europe and SOFR in the US) that equates the present value of the portfolio’s cash flows with its market value, if all investments are held to their expected maturities. Expressed as an annual percentage.
Spread duration to maturity: Sensitivity of a bond’s price to a change in credit spreads, modelled based on expected average life for the invested portfolio. Expressed in years.
Total return: The change in value of an investment over a certain timeframe. It includes any net income (such as dividends) and change in capital value. Typically measured net of any fees. Expressed as a percentage change.
Interest rate duration: A measure of the responsiveness of an investment’s price to changes in interest rates. Expressed in years.
Undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS): A European regulatory framework for open-ended funds investing in listed securities, authorised and monitored by a regulatory body (such as the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier in Luxembourg or the Central Bank of Ireland in the Republic of Ireland).
Key investor information document (KIID): A short, two-page, document containing essential information about a fund, providing investors an understanding of the key risks and helps them to make an informed investment decision.
KEY RISKS
The following risks may affect the Sub-Fund. Full details of all risks the Sub-Fund is exposed to are provided in the Prospectus and KIID.
CLO valuation: The value of a CLO may be affected by a number of factors, including: credit spreads, changes in the performance or the market’s perception of the underlying assets backing the security and changes in the market’s perception of the adequacy of credit support built into the security’s structure to protect against losses.
CLO liquidity: The secondary market for CLOs may not be as liquid as the secondary market for corporate debt. As a result, the Investment Manager could find it more difficult to sell these investments or may be able to sell them only at prices lower than if they were more widely traded. It may be difficult to establish accurate prices for such investments for the purposes of calculating the Sub-fund’s Net Asset Value. Therefore, prices realised upon the sale of such investments may be lower than the prices used in calculating the Sub-fund’s Net Asset Value.
Dependence on Managers of CLOs: The performance of the Sub-fund’s investments in CLOs will depend in part upon the performance and operational effectiveness of the managers of the CLOs.
Secondary Market Trading Risk: There is no guarantee that trading of ETF Shares on stock exchanges shall be possible including in, but not limited to, the following circumstances (i) such listing has not been achieved and/or maintained, (ii) the rules and requirements of any stock exchanges applicable to the listing of ETF Shares have changed or (iii) trading on such stock exchanges is suspended due to market conditions. Notwithstanding the listing of the ETF Shares on one or more stock exchange, there is no guarantee as to the liquidity of the ETF Shares on any stock exchange or as to the correlation of the trading price of ETF Shares on any stock exchange and the Net Asset Value for such ETF Share. On any given stock exchange, ETF Shares may trade at, above or below their Net Asset Value and such trading price may fluctuate in accordance with changes in the daily Net Asset Value, intraday changes in the Net Asset Value and market supply and demand for ETF Shares.
