It is categorized as Article 8 SFDR. More details can be found in the prospectus. 4 The sub-fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in fixed-income securities from companies with an investment grade rating.

It may also hold up to 20% of its net assets in bank deposits at sight. 4 The sub-fund may use derivatives to achieve the investment objective and for hedging purposes. 4 The sub-fund is not managed with reference to a benchmark. The portfolio manager has full investment discretion within the predefined investment limits. 4 Income may be paid out every three months. 4 Buying and selling securities entails transaction costs payable in addition to the charges listed. 4 Redemption of shares: daily when banks in Luxembourg and in London are open for normal business (see prospectus for details and exceptions). 4 AQNG shares are reserved exclusively for specific investors and for investors who invest at least 50 million GBP.
