FIXED INCOME

Overview

Objective

The Fund is classified as a financial product under Article 8 of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation. The Fund promotes environmental or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective. The Fund integrates ESG factors and risk in the investment process alongside traditional factors. Detailed information on the sustainability related disclosures of the Fund can be found in the Template Pre-contractual disclosure (annex of the prospectus) on https://www.gsam.com/responsible-investing/en-INT/non-professional/funds/documents. The fund primarily invests in corporate bonds denominated in European currencies with a higher risk and therefore with a higher interest rate (so called high yield bonds, with a quality rating lower than BBB-). Measured over a period of several years we aim to beat the performance of the benchmark ICE BofAML European Currency High Yield Constrained, ex Subordinated Financials. The benchmark is a broad representation of our investment universe. The fund can also include bonds that are not part of the benchmark universe. We actively manage the fund and combine our analysis on specific issuers of corporate bonds with a broader market analysis to construct the optimal portfolio. We aim to exploit differences in returns of the companies issuing the bonds within sectors and differences in returns between regions, sectors and different quality segments (ratings). Therefore the fund positioning can materially deviate from the benchmark. The differences in high yield returns within a sector can be significant; we therefore believe that a strong focus on issuer selection and issuer diversification needs to be a crucial part of the high yield investment process. For risk management purposes, issuer deviation limits are maintained relative to the benchmark. You can sell your participation in this fund on each (working) day on which the value of the units is calculated, which for this fund occurs daily. The fund does not aim to provide you with a dividend. It will reinvest all earnings.
