Investment objective
The aim of the Fund is to provide a return on investor's investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by tracking closely the performance of the JP Morgan Global Government Bond Index ex UK (the “Benchmark Index”). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest directly into the fixed income securities (i.e. bonds) in the Benchmark Index and at times invest indirectly via other fixed income-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to debt) giving exposure to such fixed income securities, or in other fixed income securities not in the Index.

Our view

person-circle-filled

Why we like the fund: This is an index-tracking fund that lends money to governments around the world. These tend to be low risk loans and attract commensurately low interest payments. BlackRock is a seasoned investor in passive funds and the fund’s costs are low. How to use the fund: For investors seeking an exposure to global bonds, who have a long-term horizon and are cost-conscious, this fund represents a sensible choice on the lower risk side of a portfolio. The fund is likely to do well in an environment of falling interest rates.
