Description

The aim is for the investment to reflect the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index (Index). The Index is intended to reflect the global market in investment grade fixed-rate tradeable debt (bonds), meaning those bonds issued by issuers considered less likely to default. The Index contains all the bonds from the following three indices: the U.S. Aggregate Index, the Pan-European Aggregate Index and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index (Regional Aggregate Indices). In addition, bonds eligible for inclusion in the Global Treasury Index, the Eurodollar Index, the Euro-Yen Index, the Canadian Index, and the Investment Grade 144A Index, which are not already included in the Regional Aggregate Indices, shall also be eligible for inclusion in the Index.
