Investment Objective: iShares ESG Screened Overseas Corporate Bond Index Fund (UK) Class X Acc
The aim of the Fund is to provide a return (gross of charges) on investor's investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by tracking closely the performance of the ICE ESG Global Corporate Ex GBP Index (the “Benchmark Index”). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest directly into the fixed income securities (i.e. bonds) in the Benchmark Index and at times invest indirectly via other fixed income-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to debt) giving exposure to such fixed income securities, or in other fixed income securities not in the Index.
