iShares USD Corp Bond UCITS ETF SEK Hedged (Acc)
(Cboe: LQCSx)
The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's assets, which reflects the return of the US Dollar denominated investment grade corporate bond market. The Fund aims to produce a return on your investment which reflects the return of the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Investment Grade Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Share Class also aims to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations between the Fund's underlying portfolio currencies and Swedish Krona on your returns. The Share Class, via the Fund, aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index and comply with its credit rating requirements, combined with foreign currency contracts for currency hedging. If the credit ratings of the FI securities are downgraded, the Fund may continue to hold them until they cease to form part of the Index and it is practicable to sell them. The Index measures the performance of the most liquid (i.e. bonds that can be easily bought and sold in the market in normal market conditions) US Dollar denominated bonds which are issued by companies. The bonds will, at the time of inclusion in the Index, be investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness). Each issuer of bonds in the Index is capped at 3%. Only bonds with a minimum remaining time to maturity of three years, a minimum outstanding issuance of USUSD 2 billion and have at least USD 750 million face value per individual bond are included in the benchmark index. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its Index. These may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs (including FX forward contracts) may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund
