iShares GiltTrak Index Fund (IE)

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide Shareholders with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the total return of the FTSE Government All Stocks Gilt Index, the Fund’s Benchmark Index. In order to achieve this objective, the investment policy of the Fund is to invest in the fixed income securities that predominantly make up the Fund’s Benchmark Index (which comprises UK government issued bonds). The Fund’s investments will normally be listed or traded on Regulated Markets in the UK, but may alternatively be listed or traded on other Regulated Markets. All investments will, at the time of purchase, have a credit rating which is the same as the credit rating for the United Kingdom as assigned by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s Corporation or Fitch Ratings at the time of purchase or are deemed by the Investment Manager to be of an equivalent rating.
