Risks – the following risks are materially relevant to the fund (refer to prospectus for further details):

ABS and MBS - Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) and Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) may be subject to greater liquidity, credit, default and interest rate risk compared to other bonds. They are often exposed to extension and prepayment risk. Contingent convertible bond - Contingent Convertible Bonds may be subject to additional risks linked to: capital structure inversion, trigger levels, coupon cancellations, call extensions, yield/valuation, conversions, write downs, industry concentration and liquidity, among others. Credit - Credit risk arises when an issuer's financial health deteriorates and/or it fails to fulfill its financial obligations to the fund. Currency - Currency exchange rate movements could reduce investment gains or increase investment losses. Default - Default risk may occur if the issuers of certain bonds become unable or unwilling to make payments on their bonds. Derivative - Derivatives may result in losses that are significantly greater than the cost of the derivative. Emerging markets - Emerging markets are less established than developed markets and therefore involve higher risks. Geographic concentration - Geographic concentration risk may result in performance being more strongly affected by any social, political, economic, environmental or market conditions affecting those countries or regions in which the fund's assets are concentrated. Hedging - Hedging measures involve costs and may work imperfectly, may not be feasible at times, or may fail completely. High yield bond - High yield debt securities are generally subject to greater risk of issuer debt restructuring or default, higher liquidity risk and greater sensitivity to market conditions. Interest rate - Interest rate risk is the potential for losses in fixed-income investments as a result of unexpected changes in interest rates. Issuer concentration - Issuer concentration risk may result in performance being more strongly affected by any business, industry, economic, financial or market conditions affecting those issuers in which the fund's assets are concentrated. Security Liquidity - Any security could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price. Prepayment and extension - Mortgage- and asset-backed securities could increase the fund's sensitivity to unexpected changes in interest rates. Real estate - Real estate and related investments can be hurt by any factor that makes an area or individual property less valuable. Sector concentration - Sector concentration risk may result in performance being more strongly affected by any business, industry, economic, financial or market conditions affecting a particular sector in which the fund's assets are concentrated. Total return swap - Total return swap contracts may expose the fund to additional risks, including market, counterparty and operational risks as well as risks linked to the use of collateral arrangements.

General risks: Conflicts of Interest - The investment manager's obligations to a fund may potentially conflict with its obligations to other investment portfolios it manages. Counterparty - Counterparty risk may materialise if an entity with which the fund does business becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations to the fund. Custody – In the event that the depositary and/or custodian becomes insolvent or otherwise fails, there may be a risk of loss or delay in return of certain fund's assets. Cybersecurity - The fund may be subject to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cybersecurity of the digital information systems of the fund or its third-party service providers. ESG - ​ESG integration as well as events may result in a material negative impact on the value of an investment and performance of the fund. Inflation - Inflation may erode the value of the fund and its investments in real terms. Investment Fund - Investment Fund involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly. Market - Market risk may subject the fund to experience losses caused by unexpected changes in a wide variety of factors. Market Liquidity - In extreme market conditions it may be difficult to sell the fund's securities and it may not be possible to redeem shares at short notice. Operational - Operational risk may cause losses as a result of incidents caused by people, systems, and/or processes. Sustainability - Funds that seek to promote environmental and/or social characteristics may not or only partially succeed in doing so.
