BGF US Basic Value Fund A4 USD/  LU0162691827  /

The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund"s assets. The Fund invests at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies domiciled in, or the main business of which is in, the United States. The Fund places particular emphasis on equity securities of companies that are undervalued, where in the investment adviser"s (IA) opinion, their market price does not reflect their underlying worth. The IA may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) for investment purposes in order to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, and/or to reduce risk within the Fund"s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via FDIs, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the Russell 1000 Value Index (the "Index") when constructing the Fund"s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund"s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. However, the geographical scope of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limiting the extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index should be used by investors to compare the performance of the Fund.
