Threadneedle (Lux) - European Corporate Bond 3G GBP

The fund seeks to achieve a total return from income and capital appreciation by investing in fixed income securities that are primarily denominated in Euro. The Portfolio will principally invest in a broad range of Investment Grade fixed income securities issued by companies domiciled in Europe or which have significant European operations. It may also invest in Investment Grade securities that are issued by sovereign and supranational borrowers. However, it is intended that the Portfolio will not invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities that are rated AAA (Standard & Poor’s) or an equivalent rating from another leading rating agency. A maximum of 10% of the Portfolio’s net assets can be invested in securities that are rated below Investment Grade. The Portfolio may invest in mortgage and asset-backed securities (the mortgage and asset-backed securities not exceeding 10% of the Portfolio’s Net Asset Value) and CoCos (not exceeding 10% of the Portfolio’s Net Asset Value).
