PIMCO Emerging Markets Bond BM Ret. Dis II $

Objectives The fund aims to maximise the total return on your investment by primarily investing in a range of fixed income securities and instruments, issued by companies or governments from emerging market countries using prudent investment management, consistent with the preservation of capital and sustainable investing (by explicitly integrating environmental, social and governance factors into the investment process as further outlined herein). Investment Policy The fund?s approach to sustainable investing is through the promotion of environmental and social characteristics (while the fund does not have sustainable investment as its objective, it seeks to invest a portion of its assets in sustainable investments). The fund aims to achieve this objective by investing primarily in a range of fixed income securities and instruments (which are similar to loans that pay a fixed or variable rate of interest) issued by companies or governments from emerging markets around the world (which in investment terms are those economies that are not as developed). The fund will make meaningful allocations to ESG Fixed Income Securities (as described in the company?s prospectus) and unlabelled (i.e. securities that are issued without formal certification) green bonds, social bonds, sustainability bonds and sustainability-linked bonds. The investment advisor will choose securities based on a screening process which incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors and which includes an ethical screening process provided by the socially responsible advisor on a periodic basis. In addition, the fund will seek to reduce the carbon footprint, including intensity and emissions of the portfolio?s corporate holdings. The fund will also promote environmental and social characteristics through the use of an exclusion screening process. The investment advisor will seek to invest in companies or issuers that it believes have strong ESG practices and may exclude companies or is
