The Fund aims to achieve a combination of income and growth by investing in bonds (which are like loans that can pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies, governments or other bodies, in Asian countries, which adhere to the abrdn "Asian Credit Sustainable Bond Investment Approach" (the "Investment Approach"). The Fund aims to outperform the JP Morgan Asia Credit Diversified Index (USD) benchmark (before charges). The Fund invests at least 90% in bonds issued by corporations and governments, including sub-sovereigns, inflation-linked, convertible, asset backed and mortgage backed bonds. The Fund invests at least two-thirds in bonds issued by companies in Asian countries. Bonds will be of any credit quality. Investment in bonds will follow the Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under "Fund Centre". This approach utilises abrdn's fixed income investment process, which enables portfolio managers to qualitatively assess how ESG factors are likely to impact on the company's ability to repay its debt, both now and in the future. To complement this research, the abrdn ESG House Score, or a suitable external alternative, is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. In addition, abrdn apply a set of company exclusions, which are related to the UN Global Compact, Weapons, Tobacco, Thermal Coal, Oil & Gas and Electricity Generation. Green bonds, Social bonds or Sustainable bonds issued by companies otherwise excluded by the environmental screens are permitted, where the proceeds of such issues can be confirmed as having a positive environmental impact.
