RISK CONSIDERATIONS
Portfolios are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline and that the value of portfolio shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Market values can change daily due to economic and other events (e.g. natural disasters, health crises, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) that affect markets, countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g. portfolio liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in any strategy. ESG strategies that incorporate impact investing and/or environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors could result in relative investment performance deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. As a result, there is no assurance ESG strategies could result in more favorable investment performance. In general, equity securities’ values also fluctuate in response to activities specific to a company. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. Fixed income securities are subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest-rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income. Longer-term securities may be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Real estate investments, including real estate investment trusts, are subject to risks similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Alternative investments are speculative, involve a high degree of risk, are highly illiquid, typically have higher fees than other investments, and may engage in the use of leverage, short sales, and derivatives, which may increase the risk of investment loss. These investments are designed for investors who understand and are willing to accept these risks. Performance may be volatile, and an investor could lose all or a substantial portion of its investment.

Opportunistic Credit Beschreibung
Sustainable Global High Yield Bond Fund Der Fonds strebt eine attraktive, relative, in Euro gemessene Rendite an und investiert dazu in festverzinstliche Wertpapiere, die von Unternehmen, dem Staat oder staatsgarantierten Emittenten in Euro ausgegeben werden. Der Anlageprozess des Fonds berücksichtigt ESG-Aspekte und beinhaltet eine aktive Zusammenarbeit mit den Unternehmensleitungen hinsichtlich ESG-bezogener Themen. Die Wertpapiere werden nach strikten Nachhaltigkeitskriterien ausgewählt. Der Fonds schließt bestimmte Emittenten und Sektoren aus, um Nachhaltigkeitsrisiken zu verringern und hält sich an soziale Mindestanforderungen und ethische Normen. Außerdem fokussiert sich der Fonds auf best-in-class Emittenten nach unserem eigenen Bewertungsverfahren und vermeidet Anlagen in Emittenten, die zu den untersten 20 % ihres jeweiligen Sektors gehören. Ziel ist es, bis 2050 Netto-Null-Emissionen auf der Portfolioebene zu erreichen. Bitte entnehmen Sie weitere Informationen den Dokumenten „Restriction Screening Policy“ und „MSIM Fixed Income Net Zero Methodology“.
US Dollar Short Duration High Yield Bond Fund Wir konzentrieren uns auf Anleihen des mittleren Marktsegments oder auf Anleihen mit ausstehenden Gesamtverbindlichkeiten unter 1 Mrd. USD und verfolgen dabei eine wertorientierte Anleihestrategie. Unserer Erfahrung nach können Anleihen des mittleren Marktsegments im Vergleich zu ihren größeren Pendants höhere Renditen und Kupons, kürzere Laufzeiten und eine geringere Volatilität bieten, wobei die Ausfallquoten in der Regel jenen des breiten Marktes entsprechen.
European High Yield Bond Fund Der Fonds strebt eine attraktive Rendite in Euro an und investiert dazu weltweit vorrangig in von Regierungen, Behörden und Unternehmen begebenen Anleihen mit niedrigerem bzw. ohne Rating, deren Rendite über der Rendite liegt, die in der Regel mit den auf europäische Währungen lautenden Schuldtiteln in den vier höchsten Rating-Kategorien von S&P oder Moody's erzielt werden kann.
