The index is designed as a sophisticated financial instrument aimed at investors looking to gain broad exposure to the U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade corporate bond sector. Its unique characteristic lies in its strategy to mitigate or "hedging" against the U.S. dollar currency risk, using a gold inflation hedge. This approach offers a cushion against the volatility of the U.S. dollar, potentially making it an attractive option for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio with a focus on stability and mitigating currency risk. The fund operates with a specific focus on investment grade corporate bonds, dedicating at least 80% of its net assets, including borrowings for investment purposes, to this sector. Its strategy involves direct investments in bonds or indirect investments through total return swaps. Notably, the fund categorizes itself as non-diversified, meaning it might concentrate its investments in a smaller number of issuers or sectors, aiming for potentially higher returns but also embracing a higher risk level.
