STATE STREET GLOBAL ADVISORS LUX SSG HIGH YIELD BOND ESG SCREENED INDEX FUND SGHY.IT

The fund seeks to replicate the performance of the global high-yield corporate bond market while applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screens to exclude issuers that fail certain sustainability standards.

It is an index-tracking fund that aims to follow as closely as possible the ICE BofA Global High Yield Constrained Index (or, if necessary, an index reflecting substantially the same market) while applying "negative and norms-based" screens (such as excluding controversial weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands, arctic oil & gas exploration, severe ESG controversies, violations of the UN Global Compact, and civilian firearms).

The fund invests in fixed-rate, below-investment-grade ("high yield") corporate bonds globally across major domestic and eurobond markets. To track the index efficiently, it uses a stratified sampling replication method: holding a representative subset of securities rather than every bond in the index in full proportion, while seeking to minimize tracking error against the benchmark.

The fund is a UCITS‐compliant investment vehicle domiciled in Luxembourg, managed by State Street Global Advisors (Europe) Limited under State Street Global Advisors Luxembourg SICAV. It is classified as Article 8 under the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), indicating it promotes environmental and social characteristics while not being required to seek sustainable investment as its main objective.
