ALLIANZ STRATEGIC BOND I

The investment objective of the Fund is to maximise total return, consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management, by aiming to outperform (net of fees) the Target Benchmark, the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Total Return (hedged into GBP) over a rolling three year period. The ACD aims to achieve the investment objective by investing directly in debt securities issued by corporate, government, supranational institutions and local regional agencies or by gaining exposure indirectly through the use of derivatives, as well as any other security. The ACD may invest (directly or indirectly) in treasury bills, certificates of deposit, medium term notes, private placements, structured notes, preference shares, convertible bonds, government bonds, investment grade and below investment grade bonds, bonds of emerging markets issuers, agency bonds and asset or mortgage backed securities or floating rate notes.
