Global Short-term Investment Grade Fixed Income (Dimensional)
TA4A
The Global Short-term Investment Grade Fixed Income Fund (Dimensional) aims to maximise total returns from the universe of debt obligations in which the fund invests. The fund is managed on a discretionary basis and invests in investment grade debt instruments such as, without limitation, bonds, commercial paper, bank and corporate debt. This debt is issued by governments, other public bodies and companies from developed countries and, at the time of purchase, this debt is generally rated at least BBB- or Baa3 by the major rating agencies. In addition to investment grade instruments, the fund may invest in unrated instruments which are deemed to be of similar quality. The fund will generally maintain an average duration of its investments to three years or less. The fund may use derivatives to manage risk, reduce costs or improve returns.

The fund will generally maintain an average duration of its investments to three years or less. This debt is issued by governments, other public bodies and companies from developed countries and, at the time of purchase, this debt is generally rated at least BBB- or Baa3 by the major rating agencies. In addition to investment grade instruments, the fund may invest in unrated instruments which are deemed to be of similar quality. The fund will purchase debt in various currencies.
