Switching to a 100% government bonds index as benchmark emphasises the fund’s orientation towards top-quality securities.

As from 1 December 2011, the Swisscanto (LU) Bond Invest International will have a new benchmark. The present synthetic benchmark will be replaced by the JP Morgan Government Bond Index Global (JPM GBI Global). As the present benchmark largely followed the weighting of the JPM GBI Global, the changes for investors are negligible. The new benchmark fits the fund’s conservative investment policy, which has already been implemented.

Switching to an established benchmark enables us to position the Swisscanto (LU) Bond Invest International even better in the market as a fund for global government bonds that can choose from a wide universe of over 700 securities. In addition, comparisons with competing funds will now be far more meaningful.

No additional costs will be incurred by investors through this change. If you have any questions, please contact your bank’s customer advisors directly.
