iShares World ex Euro Gov Bd Index (IE) Flex Cap $

The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the FTSE Non-EUR World Government Bond Index, the Fund's benchmark index. The Fund invests predominantly in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Fund's benchmark index (which comprises world government bonds excluding EMU participant states). At the time of purchase, the FI securities will be investment grade rated (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness). 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 benchmark index measures the performance of bonds issued by governments and includes countries in the FTSE World Government Bond Index but excludes countries in the FTSE EMU Government Bond Index. The benchmark index includes FI securities with a maturity (i.e. the time until they become due for repayment) which is greater than a year and which pay a fixed rate of interest. The Fund uses techniques for efficient portfolio management purposes or to protect against exchange rate risk. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the benchmark index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. They may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (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 consideration the Index. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties. This is used as a means of generating additional income and to off-set the costs of the Fund. The price of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates which in turn may affect the value o
