Fund details
“Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation” : Regulation 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector
Morningstar is an independent provider of investment analysis. The Morningstar rating is a quantitative assessment of the past performance of a fund taking into account the risk and the costs charged. It does not take into account qualitative elements and is calculated on the basis of a (mathematical) formula. The funds are ranked by category and compared to similar funds, based on their score and receive one to five stars. In each category, the top 10% receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the following 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars, and the last 10% receive 1 star. The rating is calculated monthly based on historical performance over 3, 5 and 10 years and does not take into account the future. )
Morningstar launched the Morningstar Sustainability Rating (MSR) to help investors consider Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) criteria when assessing their investments. Morningstar Sustainability globes are calculated using bottom-up assessments of the underlying securities of a portfolio, supported by the Sustainalytics methodology for assessing the ESG risk of companies and sovereigns. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating has several steps to accurately represent the relative risk within each portfolio. The result of the rating is a category of 1 to 5 “globes” for each eligible portfolio, indicating the fund’s ESG positioning relative to its peer group.

About this fund
Bonds and other debt securities issued by all types of issuers on the global bonds markets, rated at least BBB-/Baa3 (or equivalent) for acquisition by one of the rating agencies.
Investment strategy:
The fund seeks to achieve capital growth by investing in the principal assets traded and to ouperform the benchmark.
The management team makes discretionary investment choices on the basis of an economic/financial analysis process as well as on a Candriam’s proprietary analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, both indicative of risks and long-term opportunities.
The fund’s sustainable investment objective is to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through specific targets as well as the integration of climate related indicators in issuer and securities analysis. The fund also aims to have long-term positive impact on environment and social objectives. More specifically the fund aims to achieve overall greenhouse gas emissions at least 30% lower than those of the benchmark (for corporate issuers), and to invest at least 10% (and 20% by the end of 2025) of its assets in green bonds (i.e. bonds designed specifically to support specific climate-related or environmentalprojects).
To achieve these objectives the fund implements a combination of positive selection of the best issuers based on ESG criteria, exclusion of issuers detrimental to these objectives or deemed to prone to controversies.
Issuers are subject to a two-pronged analysis considering how issuers activities contribute to achieving sustainable objectives on the one hand, and how issuers’ operations and policies align with the interests of their key stakeholders on the other hand.
The result of this analysis forms the basis to define the investable universe and guide fund managers in their portfolio construction. Whenever the fund invests in securities issued by sovereign issuers, these issuers are also selected based on their ESG ranking assessed through a proprietary analysis of their human, social, natural and economic capital management.
This analysis is enriched by the results of dialogs led with issuers.
This investment approach will cause the fund to avoid certain issuers due to their poor ESG quality or contribution to attaining sustainability objectives. Whilst the manager believes that such issuers are likely to lose out to more sustainable ones over the long term, market volatility and short term market trends could result in such issuers outperforming more sustainable ones over shorter periods.
For further information, please refer to Candriam’s website and/or the prospectus.
The fund may use derivative products both for investment and hedging purposes (hedging against unfavourable future financialevents).
Benchmark: Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index Unhedged EUR (Total Return).
The fund is actively managed and the investment approach implies a reference to a benchmark.
Benchmark definition: The index measures the performance of investment-grade multi-currency bonds from global fixed income markets.
Use of the benchmark:
- as investment universe. In general, the majority of the issuers of the fund’s financial instruments are part of the benchmark. This said, investments outside this benchmark are admitted,
- in the determination of risk levels/parameters,
- for performance comparison.
- for performance fees calculation for certain share classes if applicable.
Deviation level of the portfolio composition from the benchmark:
The fund being managed actively, its objective is not to invest in all constituents of the benchmark, nor to invest to the same extent in the constituents of the benchmark. Under normal market conditions, the tracking error of the fund will be limited to moderate this is comprised between 0.4% and 1.5%.
This measure is an estimation of the deviation of the fund’s performance compared to the performance of the benchmark. The more the tracking error is important, the more deviations compared to the benchmark are important. The effective tracking error depends notably on the market conditions (volatility and correlations between financial instruments) and can deviate from the expected tracking error.

Annual return
This chart shows the fund’s performance as the percentage loss or gain per year over the last 7 years.
It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past and compare it to its benchmark.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results and is not constant over time. Markets could develop very differently in the future. It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past. Returns are calculated in the fund's currency.
The index composition may change over time. The performance reported may therefore differ from the performance of the relevant index before its change. Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. Any entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation. Performances expressed in a currency other than that of the investor's country of residence are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, with a negative or positive impact on gains. If the present document refers to a specific tax treatment, such information depends on the individual situation of each investor and may change. If for one year, there is no performance information, it is because there is no data or the data is insufficient to provide investors with useful or reliable indications on this performance.

Main Risks
-
Counterparty Risk
When the fund carry out over-the-counter transactions (i.e. involving instruments not listed on the markets), they are exposed to a risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction.
-
Credit risk
It constitutes the risk that an issuer or a counterparty default. This risk includes the risk of changes in credit spreads and default risk. The level of credit risk is usually evaluated by using “ratings” representing a comparative assessment of the credit quality (solvency level) of an issuer, issuer or portfolio. “High Yield” investments present the lowest rating levels and therefore a high credit risk.
-
Currency risk
Funds may hold exposure to a currency different from its valuation currency. Changes in the exchange rate of this currency may negatively affect the value of assets in the portfolio.
-
Derivative risk
Derivatives are investments whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying instrument, such as a security, asset, reference rate or index. Derivative strategies often involve leverage, which may exaggerate a loss, potentially causing the Sub-Fund to lose more money than it would have lost had it invested in the underlying instrument. Using derivatives may result in a higher portfolio volatility related to this underlying asset and an increase of the counterparty risk.
-
ESG Investment Risk
ESG investment risk refers to the risks arising from the inclusion of ESG factors in the management process, such as the exclusion of activities or issuers and the inclusion of sustainability risks in the selection and/or allocation of issuers in the portfolio.
-
Interest rate risk
A change in interest rates, resulting notably from inflation, may cause a risk of losses and reduce the net asset value of the fund.
-
Risk of loss of capital
Investors are advised that any capital they invest is not guaranteed and that they may therefore not receive back the full amount invested. They may thus suffer a loss.
Other Risks
-
Conservation risk
The insolvency, negligence or fraudulent acts of a custodian or a sub-custodian may result in the loss of assets. This risk is mitigated by the regulatory obligations of the depositaries.
-
Delivery risk
In case of liquidation of assets that are subject to a transaction with a counterparty, this last, although contractually obliged, may not be able in operational terms to return the assets quickly enough to allow the fund to honour the sale of these instruments on the market..
-
Equity Risk
Some funds may be exposed to equity market risk through direct investment (through transferable securities and/or derivative products), meaning submitted to the positive or negative evolution of stock exchanges. These evolutions can be huge and be mainly driven by expectations relative to macro-economy and company results, speculation and irrational factors (including trends, opinions or rumours).
-
Legal risk
Litigations of all kinds can occur with a counterparty or a third party. The Management Company aims to reduce these risks by putting in place controls and procedures.
-
Liquidity risk
lt occurs when a portfolio position cannot be sold, liquidated or closed at a limited cost and within a sufficiently short time, which jeopardizing the fund's ability to comply at any time with its obligations to redeem the shares of investors at their request.
-
Operational risk
Operational risk encompasses the risks of direct or indirect loss related to a number of factors (eg human errors, fraud and malicious acts, information system failures and external events, etc.) that could have an impact on the fund and / or the investors. The Management Company aims to reduce this risk through the implementation of controls and procedures.
-
Risk of conflict of interest
The selection of a counterparty based on reasons other than the sole interest of the fund and/or unequal treatment in the management of similar portfolios can result in conflicts of interest.
-
Risk on Cocos
CoCos – or subordinated contingent capital securities – are instruments issued by banking institutions to increase their equity capital buffers in order to comply with new banking regulations which require them to increase their capital margins. These instruments are holding specific risks related to their financial structure. When a thresholds are reached the securities are converted to shares. Coupons can be cancelled at the discretion of the issuer. With the approval of competent authority, CoCos can be redeemed on a determined date and they may not be repaid.
-
Sustainability Risk
The sustainability risk refers to any environmental, social or governance event or condition that could affect the performance and / or the reputation of issuers in the portfolio. It may be issuer specific, in line with their activities and practices, but may also be due to external factors.

Swing Pricing is a mechanism by which the net asset value is adjusted upwards (or downwards) if the change in liabilities is positive (or negative) in such a way as to reduce for existing investors the portfolio restructuring costs linked to subscription/ redemption movements in the fund. On valuation days where the difference between the amount of subscriptions and the amount of redemptions of a sub-fund (i.e. net transactions) exceeds a threshold set beforehand by the Board of Directors, the latter shall be entitled to:
- value the net asset value by adding to the assets (in the case of net subscriptions) or deducting from assets (at net redemptions) a fixed percentage of the fees corresponding to market practices and reflecting the fees and/or conditions of liquidity when buying or selling securities;
- value the securities portfolio on the basis of bid or ask prices;
- assess the net asset value by setting a level of spreads representative of the relevant market;
- The dilution mechanism must not exceed 2% of the net asset value, except in exceptional circumstances, as in the event of a sharp decrease in liquidity, which would then be detailed for the sub-fund concerned in the annual (semi-) annual report of the SICAV.

ESG Assessment
This fund has a sustainable investment objective. It invests in economic activities contributing to an environmental and/or social objective. To achieve this objective, the management team makes discretionary investment choices based on an economic/financial analysis process and an internal analysis of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
a. ESG selection criteria:
For corporates, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting the issuers:
• that are the best positioned to meet the challenges of sustainable development;
• that comply with the principles of the United Nations Global Compact (i.e. human rights, labour law, the environment, anti-corruption), and which are therefore less exposed to the risks associated with these themes; and
• that are not engaged in controversial activities such as armament (securities of a company whose activity consists of manufacturing, the use or possession of anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs and/or depleted uranium weapons), tobacco, thermal coal.
For sovereign issuers, the internal analysis of ESG criteria consists in selecting:
• Countries that perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria: Human Capital, Natural Capital, Social Capital and Economic Capital;
• Countries that are not part of our highly Oppressive Regimes or dictatorships, based on the Freedom House Freedom in the World Index and the World Bank Voice & Accountability Index.
b. Selection methodology:
The companies selected by the management company are subject to a dual analysis:
• Analysis of their activity to assess their alignment with the major challenges of sustainable development. For example, regarding the transition to a circular economy, the management company will consider a company producing recycled steel to be more sustainable than a company producing steel exclusively from iron ore; and
• Analysis of how the company manages players interacting with the company: its employees, its customers, its shareholders, its suppliers and the environment. Here too, the management company will favour companies that adopt the most sustainable practices given their sector. For example, with regard to relations with its clients, the management company will favour pharmaceutical companies with balanced pricing practices and commercial policies. Similarly, with regard to relations with their employees, the management company attaches great importance to the fight against discrimination and compliance with social standards.
Our sovereign investible universe consists of those countries which perform best across our four categories of sustainable development criteria:
• Natural Capital: stock of naturel resources managed by the country;
• Social Capital: trust, norms and institutions which people can rely on to solve common problems and create social cohesion;
• Human Capital: human productivity to which the country participates through education and other initiatives;
• Economic Capital: assessing the level of economic activity viability.
c. A team of ESG analysts is responsible for assessing the selection criteria:
The analysis and selection of sustainable investments is carried out by a dedicated team of ESG analysts within Candriam. This team is made up of specialists whose mission is to analyse the exposure of companies and governments to the risks and opportunities associated with sustainable development.
Selection criteria are expected to evolve over time, based on advances in ESG research and changes in company practices.
