iShares Yield Plus ETF - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to provide investors with the performance of the Bloomberg AusBond Credit and FRN Ex Big 4 Banks IndexSM x, before fees and expenses. The index is designed to measure the performance of the Australian corporate bond market (excluding issuers ANZ, CBA, NAB and WBC).
Fund Strategy
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by tracking the performance of a custom Bloomberg AusBond Credit and FRN Ex Big 4 Banks IndexSM. We believe that stratified sampling is the most appropriate investment strategy to track the performance of the Index as it takes into account liquidity, transaction cost impact, and overall risk relative to the Index. Stratified sampling involves choosing a subset of Index eligible securities to create a portfolio that behaves like the Index.
