ETF description

This ETF provides exposure to inflation‑linked government bonds from around the world. Inflation‑linked bonds are designed to protect investors from rising prices by adjusting the bond’s value in line with inflation. These bonds are typically issued by governments and help to maintain purchasing power over time. The ETF invests in a broad range of these bonds from different countries, offering global diversification.

This ETF may appeal to investors who are concerned about rising prices and want a more stable fixed‑income investment. It could be suitable for those seeking a defensive addition to their portfolio, particularly if they have a long‑term outlook and want to mitigate the risk of inflation reducing the real value of their assets.

ETFs have spreads and annual charges and come with risks like market volatility, liquidity, and concentration, and may not always accurately track their index. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. The value of your investments, including any income, can rise or fall. You may get back less than you originally invested.
Whenever you invest, your capital is at risk
This could mean the value of your investments goes down as well as up.
