Investment Risks

For complete information on risks, refer to the legal documents. The value of investments, and any income from them, will fluctuate. This may partly be the result of changes in exchange rates. Investors may not get back the full amount invested. The creditworthiness of the debt the Fund is exposed to may weaken and result in fluctuations in the value of the Fund. There is no guarantee the issuers of debt will repay the interest and capital on the redemption date. The risk is higher when the Fund is exposed to high yield debt securities. Changes in interest rates will result in fluctuations in the value of the fund. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund intends to invest in securities of issuers that manage their ESG exposures better relative to their peers. This may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain issuers and cause the Fund to forego certain investment opportunities. The Fund may perform differently to other funds, including underperforming other funds that do not seek to invest in securities of issuers based on their ESG ratings. The Fund might be concentrated in a specific region or sector or be exposed to a limited number of positions, which might result in greater fluctuations in the value of the Fund than for a fund that is more diversified. Currency hedging between the base currency of the Fund and the currency of the share class may not completely eliminate the currency risk between those two currencies and may affect the performance of the share class.

Product description

The Invesco Global Corporate Bond ESG UCITS ETF GBP PfHdg Dist aims to provide the total return performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Liquid Corporate ESG Weighted SRI Sustainable Bond Index (the "Reference Index"), less the impact of fees. The fund distributes income on a quarterly basis.

To minimise exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the GBP and the base currencies of the fund’s underlying holdings, the GBP portfolio-hedged share class enters into foreign exchange transactions.

The Reference Index is designed to reflect the performance of multi-currency, investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable debt securities issued by corporate issuers adjusted based upon certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) metrics, which seek to increase overall exposure to those issuers demonstrating a robust ESG profile. 

Securities are excluded that according to the index provider’s exclusionary criteria: 1) have an MSCI ESG rating below BBB; 2) are issued by an issuer that does not have an MSCI ESG rating; 3) have faced very severe controversies pertaining to ESG issues (including UN Global Compact violations) over the last three years; 4) are issued by an issuer that does not have an MSCI ESG Controversy Score; 5) are involved in alcohol, adult entertainment, biochemical weapons, controversial weapons, conventional weapons, fossil fuels, gambling, genetically modified organisms, firearms, nuclear weapons, nuclear power, oil sands, thermal coal, tobacco, unconventional oil and gas; or 6) are issued by emerging market issuers.

Each of the eligible component securities is then assigned an ESG score using MSCI ESG metrics. This ESG Score is then applied to tilt allocations compared to their market values in the Global Aggregate Corporate Index, along with limiting the market value weight of issuers to a cap of 5%. The Reference Index rebalances monthly.

The portfolio managers aim to achieve the fund’s objective by using portfolio modelling tools and techniques to buy and hold a proportion of the index securities that represents the characteristics of the entire index. The objective of this sampling method is to replicate the index performance as closely as possible while reducing the costs that would normally be incurred with full replication.

This ETF is passively managed.

An investment in this fund is an acquisition of units in a passively managed, index tracking fund rather than in the underlying assets owned by the fund.
