^ There was a change in benchmark from the CITI G5 Government Bond Index to the Citi World Government Bond Index on 23 August 2006 as the Citi World Government Bond Index would better reflect the broader investment perspective of the Fund in connection with the removal of the Fund from the CPFIS. With effect from 2 January 2013, the benchmark was changed from Citi World Government Bond Index to a composite benchmark comprising of 50% Citi World Government Bond Index and 50% JP Morgan Government Bond Index - - Emerging Markets in order to align the Fund's benchmark with that of its Underlying Fund i.e. NGUF Nikko AM World Bank Green Fund. A composite benchmark is used to measure the performance of the Fund as the composite benchmark reflects the blend of developed markets and emerging markets that the Underlying Fund may be invested in. With effect from 1 April 2017, the existing benchmark for the Fund has been removed because the Manager is of the view that it is not representative of the Fund's strategy. The performance of the Fund will therefore not be measured against any benchmark on and after 1 April 2017.
The Fund name was changed from Nikko AM Shenton World Bank Green Bond Fund to Nikko AM Global Green Bond Fund with effect from 1 August 2018. The Underlying Fund Nikko AM World Bank Green Fund has been renamed to NGUF - Nikko AM Global Green Bond Fund with effect from 1 August 2018.
