BNY Mellon Global Credit Fund

Objective: To achieve a total return from income and capital growth.

Benchmark: The Fund will measure its performance against the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Credit TR Index (hedged to US Dollars) (the “Benchmark”).

However, as the Benchmark covers a significant proportion of the investable universe, the majority of the Sub-Fund’s holdings will be constituents of the Benchmark and the weightings in the portfolio may be similar to those of the Benchmark. The investment strategy will restrict the extent to which the portfolio holdings may deviate from the Benchmark and consequently the extent to which the Sub-Fund can outperform the Benchmark.
