Global Corporate Bond Index Fund - GBP Hedged Acc (VGLIGHA)

About this fund

Fund objectives

  • The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Float Adjusted Corporate Index (the “Index”).
  • The Index includes global corporate bonds with maturities greater than one year. The Index is a multi-currency index that includes bonds from developed and emerging markets issuers within the industrial, utility and financial sectors.
  • The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
