abrdn SICAV I - US Dollar Credit Sustainable Bond Fund, X Acc USD Shares/  LU1646953957  /

The Fund aims to achieve a combination of income and growth by investing in bonds (which are like loans that can pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies and priced in USD, which adhere to the abrdn "US Dollar Credit Sustainable Investment Approach" (the "Investment Approach"). The Fund aims to outperform the Bloomberg US Credit Index (USD) before charges. The Fund invests at least 90% in USD bonds issued by corporations and governments anywhere in the world, including sub-sovereigns, inflation linked, convertible, asset backed and mortgage backed bonds. The Fund invests at least two-thirds in USD bonds issued by companies (including government-owned). Bonds will typically have investment grade ratings. Up to 10% of the Fund may be invested in Sub-Investment Grade bonds. Investment in bonds will follow the Investment Approach. This approach utilises abrdn's fixed income investment process, which enables portfolio managers to qualitatively assess how ESG factors are likely to impact on the company's ability to repay its debt, both now and in the future. To complement this research, the abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. In addition, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions, which are related to the UN Global Compact, State Owned Enterprises (SOE), Weapons, Tobacco, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas and Electricity Generation. Green bonds, Social bonds or Sustainable bonds issued by companies otherwise excluded by the environmental screens are permitted, where the proceeds of such issues can be confirmed as having a positive environmental impact. Further detail of this overall process is captured within the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre". Financial derivative instruments, money market instruments and cash may not adhere to this approach.
