Fund objectives
The fund concentrates on high-yielding US bonds with short duration. The aim is to attain above average income at below average volatility. At least 70 % of fund assets have to be invested in high-yielding securities (upon purchase). Non-USD currency exposure exceeding 20 % of fund assets is to be hedged against US-Dollars. Sustainability aspects are taken into account by the fund management. For more information on the investment strategy, the permissible asset classes and the sustainability approach, please refer to the sales prospectus.

- Particular yield potential of high-yield bonds
- Capital gains opportunities on declining market yields
- Investments target the US market
- Broad diversification across numerous securities
- Possible extra returns through single security analysis and active management

- Sustainability approach narrows the investment universe
- Limited participation in the yield potential of single securities
- Success of single security analysis and active management not guaranteed

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Investing in fixed income instruments may expose investors to various risks, including but not limited to creditworthiness, interest rate, liquidity and restricted flexibility risks. Changes to the economic environment and market conditions may affect these risks, resulting in an adverse effect to the value of the investment. During periods of rising nominal interest rates, the values of fixed income instruments (including positions with respect to short-term fixed income instruments) are generally expected to decline. Conversely, during periods of declining interest rates, the values of these instruments are generally expected to rise. Liquidity risk may possibly delay or prevent account withdrawals or redemptions. Allianz US Short Duration High Income Bond is a sub-fund of Allianz Global Investors Fund SICAV, an open-ended investment company with variable share capital organised under the laws of Luxembourg. The value of the units/shares which belong to the Unit/Share Classes of the Sub-Fund that are not denominated in the base currency may be subject to an increased volatility. The volatility of other Unit/Share Classes may be different and possibly higher. Past performance does not predict future returns. If the currency in which the past performance is displayed differs from the currency of the country in which the investor resides, then the investor should be aware that due to the exchange rate fluctuations the performance shown may be higher or lower if converted into the investor’s local currency.
