CT (Lux) Europ. HY Bond ZE EUR

The Fund aims to provide income with the potential to grow the amount you invested over the medium to long term. The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in below investment grade bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) priced in Euros or Sterling and issued by companies in Europe, including the UK, or companies that have significant operations there. Bonds rated as below investment grade have received lower ratings from international agencies that provide such ratings and are considered riskier than higher rated bonds but typically pay a higher income. The Fund may use derivatives (complex instruments) for hedging purposes and may also invest in asset classes and instruments different from those stated above. The Fund is actively managed in reference to the ICE BofA European Currency High Yield Excluding Subordinated Financials Constrained Index. The index is broadly representative of the securities in which the Fund invests, and provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be measured and evaluated over time. The index is not designed to specifically consider environmental or social characteristics. The fund manager has discretion to select investments with weightings different to the index, and that are not in the index, and the Fund may display significant divergence from the index. The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics by integrating a range of responsible investment measures into the investment process, and ensures that the companies it invests in follow good governance practices. The Fund aims to compare favourably against the index over rolling 12-month periods when assessed using the Columbia Threadneedle ESG (environmental, social and governance) Materiality Rating model, which indicates how much exposure a company has to material ESG risks and opportunities. At least 50% of the Fund is invested in companies that have a strong rating. The Fund also commits to i
