iShares VII Plc Eur Govt Bond 1-3yr UCITS ETF EUR (Acc) GBP (CE31)

The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Euro Government Bond 1-3 Year Term Index, the Fund’s benchmark index The Fund aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the benchmark index and comply with its credit rating requirements. The benchmark index offers exposure to widely available Euro-denominated government bonds issued by member states of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union with a remaining maturity (ie: the time from issue until they become due for payment) from 1 to 3 years and a minimum amount outstanding of €2 billion at the time of inclusion in the benchmark index. The bonds will, at the time of inclusion in the benchmark index, be investment grade (ie: meet a specified level of creditworthiness). The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its benchmark index. These may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the benchmark index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value).
