Investment Objective: iShares € Corp Bond Interest Rate Hedged ESG UCITS ETF EUR (Dist)
|
IRCP |
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg MSCI EUR Corporate Interest Rate Hedged Sustainable SRI Index. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of the Fund is to invest in a portfolio of corporate bonds, that, as far as possible and practicable, consist of the component securities of the Bloomberg MSCI Euro Corporate Sustainable SRI Index and German government bond futures contracts that, as far as possible and practicable, track the hedging methodology of the Bloomberg MSCI EUR Corporate Interest Rate Hedged Sustainable SRI Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index (see “The Methodologies for Currency and Interest Rate Hedging” below). The hedging methodology consists of selling German government futures contracts in order to hedge the underlying German government bond yield risk. |
