The aim is for the investment to reflect the performance of the IBOXX ⬠GERMANY 3-5 { {®}} (Index). The Index reflects certain types of tradable debt (bonds) denominated in Euro or pre-Euro currencies issued by the German government having a maturity of three to five years. The composition of the Index is rebalanced according to a pre-set methodology. The Index is comprised solely of bonds. For bonds to be included in the Index on a monthly rebalancing date, they must on the relevant rebalancing date, have a remaining time to maturity of at least three years and up to five years. The bonds must have a fixed rate of interest and must be part of an issue of debt which has at least â¬2 billion outstanding. Each bond is weighted in the Index according to its outstanding amount. The Index is calculated on a total return basis which means that amounts equivalent to interest payments on the bonds are reinvested in the Index.
