Key documents

    Overview

    Predominantly invests in euro denominated fixed income securities issued by investment grade rated corporates domiciled in the eurozone combined with environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.1

    Sustainability-related disclosure


    The Fund’s benchmark (iBoxx Euro Corporates Index) does not implement any of the ESG specific considerations which apply to the Fund and is therefore used for performance comparison only.

    Fund specific risks

    • At times, the market for investment grade bonds may dry up, which could make it difficult to sell these bonds, or the fund may only be able to sell them at a discount
    • There may be cases where an organisation with which we trade assets or derivatives (usually a financial institution such as a bank) may be unable to fulfil its obligations, which could cause losses to the fund
    • RBC BlueBay's ESG analysis can rely on input from external providers. Such data may be inaccurate or incomplete or unavailable and RBC BlueBay could assess the ESG risks of securities held incorrectly
    • RBC BlueBay could suffer from a failure of its processes, systems and controls – or from such a failure at an organisation on which we rely in order to deliver our services – which could lead to losses for the fund

    1. Certain investment strategies, asset classes, exposure and security types do not integrate ESG factors, including but not limited to money market, buy-and maintain, passive, and certain third-party sub-advised strategies or certain currency or derivative instruments. Different strategies that integrate ESG factors will be at varying stages of implementation. Please read a fund's prospectus or offering memorandum for further details.

    ESG investing: our approach

    RBC BlueBay believes that ESG factors can potentially have a material impact on an issuer’s long-term financial performance. Given the limited upside (and potentially significant downside) of fixed income investments, the focus of our ESG analysis is on understanding downside risks.
