SISF Asian Conv. Bond A1 Cap PLN Hdg

The fund aims to provide capital growth in excess of the FTSE Asia ex Japan Hedged Convertible Bond Index (USD) after fees have been deducted over a three to five year period by investing in convertible bonds issued by companies in Asia (excluding Japan). The fund is actively managed and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in a diversified range of convertible bonds issued by companies in Asia excluding Japan. The fund may also invest in bonds and equities of Asian companies (excluding Japan). Convertible bonds are typically corporate bonds that can be converted into equities at a given price. As such, the investment manager believes investors can gain exposure to Asian (excluding Japan) equity markets with the defensive benefits and less volatile characteristics of a bond investment. The fund may invest in excess of 50% of its assets directly or indirectly (including via credit default swaps and credit default swap indices) in bonds that have a below investment grade credit rating (as measured by Standard & Poor's or any equivalent grade of other credit rating agencies for rated bonds and implied Schroders ratings for non-rated bonds). The fund may also invest up to one-third of its assets directly or indirectly in other securities (including other asset classes), countries, regions, industries or currencies, investment funds, warrants and money market investments, and hold cash (subject to the restrictions provided in appendix I of the fund's prospectus).
