Source: HSBC Asset Management, data as at 28 February 2025 # Investment objective The Fund aims to provide regular income and capital growth. # Investment strategy The Fund tracks as closely as possible the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Aggregate SRI Carbon ESG -Weighted Select Index (the Index), while minimising the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, while promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of SFDR. The Index measures the performance of global investment grade debt from twenty -eight local currency markets, across three groups of bonds: government bonds, credit and securitised. The Index removes securities of the credit bucket based on sustainability exclusionary criteria and then applies a screen using MSCI ESG ratings. The Index seeks to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions and an improvement of the MSCI ESG rating against that of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (the Parent Index). The Fund will invest in government, government -related entities and supranational bonds (developed and emerging Markets); corporate investment grade bonds, corporate emerging market bonds, asset backed securities, mortgage -backed securities, commercial mortgage -backed securities and covered bonds all of which are Index constituents. The Fund is passively managed and will utilise an investment technique called optimisation. The Fund will not invest more than 10% in other funds. See the Prospectus for a full description of the investment objectives and derivative usage. # Main risks • The Fund invests in bonds whose value generally falls when interest rates rise. This risk is typically greater the longer the maturity of a bond investment and the higher its credit quality. The issuers of certain bonds, could become unwilling or unable to make payments on their bonds and default. Bonds that are in default may become hard to sell or worthless. • The Fund may invest in Emerging Markets, these markets are less established, and often more volatile, than developed markets and involve higher risks, particularly market, liquidity and currency risks. • To the extent that the Fund seeks to replicate index performance by holding individual securities, there is no guarantee that its composition or performance will exactly match that of the target index at any given time (“tracking error”). ## Share class details Key metrics NAV per share USD 10.17 Yield to maturity 3.52% Fund facts UCITS V compliant Yes UK reporting fund status (UKRS) Yes ISA eligible Yes Dividend treatment Accumulating Dealing frequency Daily Valuation time 23:00 Ireland Share class base currency USD Domicile Ireland Inception date 22 January 2025 Fund size USD 46,001,495 Reference benchmark 100% Bloomberg MSCI Global Aggregate SRI Carbon ESG -Weighted Select Index Managers Amrita Chauhan Sanyal Derya Hitchcock Sebastien Faucher Fees and expenses Minimum initial investment ¹ USD 1 Ongoing charge figure ² 0.090% Codes ISIN IE000VJEVNM1 SEDOL BSB7PY4 ¹Please note that initial minimum subscription may vary across different distributors ²Ongoing Charges Figure is an estimate as the share class has not been priced for a full financial year.

The pricing and volatility of many derivatives may diverge from strictly reflecting the pricing or volatility of their underlying reference(s), instrument or asset. • Investment Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source. • Further information on the potential risks can be found in the Key Information Document (KID) and/or the Prospectus or Offering Memorandum. ## Index disclaimer Bloomberg® is a trademark and service mark of Bloomberg Finance L.P.
