iShares ESG Screened Global Bond Index D - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to match the return of the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI Global Aggregate SRI Select ex-Fossil Fuels index (AUD hedged) before fees less interest withholding taxes and the cost of currency hedging.
Fund Strategy
The strategy seeks to match the distribution of the risk-and-return factors of the index through a 'stratified sampling' approach. This approach breaks the index into 'cells' of securities that have similar factors of risk and return and then build a portfolio to match these cells. The factors we consider are interest-rate risk, credit risk and specific (security) risk.
