iShares IV plc (IUQF) Edge MSCI USA Quality Factor UCITS ETF Acc

The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the MSCI USA Sector Neutral Quality Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (“Benchmark Index”). The Share Class, via the Fund, aims to invest in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Benchmark Index. The Benchmark Index aims to reflect the performance characteristics of a subset of equity securities within the MSCI USA Index (“Parent Index”) which are selected for their high quality. As at 1 June 2016, the Benchmark Index comprised 125 constituents. The constituents of the Benchmark Index are selected from the Parent Index based on three main equally weighted indicators of whether a company is demonstrating high quality characteristics: high percentage of company earnings allocated to shareholders; low levels of debt; and low variability of year on year company earnings. The Benchmark Index incorporates constraints on the exposure to specific economic sectors to limit significant deviations from the Parent Index. The Parent Index measures the performance of large and mid-capitalisation companies in the USA. Companies are included in the Parent Index based on the proportion of their shares in issue that are available for purchase by international investors. As at 1 June 2016, the Parent Index comprised 624 constituents. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its Benchmark Index.
