The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets in amanner consistent with the principles of environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing. The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in fixed income securities which are denominated in euro. These include bonds and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities). The Fund’s total assets will be invested in accordance with its ESG Policy as disclosed in the prospectus. For further details regarding the ESG characteristics please refer to the prospectus and the BlackRock website at www.blackrock.com/baselinescreens. At least 70% of the Fund’s total assets will be issued by companies whether domiciled in countries inside or outside of the Eurozone and will be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness) at the time of purchase. The remainder may include investments with a relatively low credit rating or which are unrated. The IA may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or moreunderlying assets) for investment purposes in order to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, and/or to reduce risk within the Fund’sportfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via FDIs, generate varying amounts of market leverage(i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the ICE BofAML Euro Corporate Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund. The Bloomberg Euro-Corporate Index (80%) and the Bloomberg US Global Corporate Index (20%) (the “ESG Reporting Index”) should be used by investors to assess the impact of ESG screening on the Fund’s investment universe. The price of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates which in turn may affect the value of your investment. Fixed income securities prices move inversely to interest rates. Therefore, the market value of fixed income securities may decrease as interest rates increase. The credit rating of an issuing entity will generally affect the yield that can be earned on fixed income securities; the better the credit rating the smaller the yield. The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”). The depositary of the Fund is The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch.
