Sigma Healthcare Limited (S5YA)

Overview

The Sub-Fund, constituted under the UCITS framework, is designed to provide an investment avenue that closely tracks the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury 3-7 Year Index, which is denominated in USD. This index represents U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities ranging from three years up to, but not including, seven years. The fund employs a passive index-tracking strategy, aiming to minimize the tracking error, which is the volatility of the difference between the fund's performance and that of the benchmark index. The anticipated tracking error under normal market conditions is expected to be up to 0.10%. The fund operates with the US Dollar as its reference currency, ensuring that investors are exposed to the movements in the US Treasury bond market within the specified maturity range. Additionally, for monthly hedged share classes, the Sub-Fund implements a monthly currency-hedge strategy to mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations between the share class currency and the currencies of each index component. This approach is designed to provide investors with a more stable and predictable investment outcome by reducing the risk associated with currency movements.
