iShares Gl Agg 1-5Y Bd Index (IE) Inst Dis $ Hdg

The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's assets, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate 1-5 Year Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Fund aims to invest as far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index. It is intended that, at the time of purchase, the FI securities will have received a credit rating of at least investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness) from any one of Moody's, Standard & Poor's or Fitch Ratings or are deemed, by the investment manager, to be of an equivalent rating. If the credit rating of a FI security is downgraded, the Fund may continue to hold this, until it is practicable to sell the position. The Index measures the performance of multi-currency denominated, fixed rate, investment grade FI securities issued by corporate, government, and governmentrelated issuers and by entities in the securitised sector on a global basis. The FI securities will have maturities (i.e. the time until the security becomes due for repayment) of between 1 and 5 years. However, where the time to final maturity of FI securities falls below 1 year, the Fund may continue to hold such FI securities at the discretion of the investment manager. The Fund uses techniques for efficient portfolio management purposes or to protect against exchange rate risk or to achieve a similar return to the Index. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Fund is passively managed. The investment manager has limited discretion to select the Fund's investments and in doing so will take into c
