AXA Carbon Transition Sterling Buy and Maintain Credit Fund Z Gross Accumulation

The Fund invests at least 70% of its Net Asset Value in sterling-denominated investment grade corporate bonds (meaning bonds with a credit rating of at least BBB- by Standard & Poor or equivalent rating by Moody’s or Fitch or, if unrated, an equivalent rating as deemed by the ACD).
