Objective
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 Funds’ assets, which reflects the return of the MSCI Europe ESG Screened Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund, aims to invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of a sub-set of equity securities which are part of the MSCI Europe Index (the “Parent Index”) which excludes companies from the Parent Index based on the index provider’s environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) exclusionary criteria. The Index excludes companies from the Parent Index which are defined by the index provider as: being associated with controversial and nuclear weapons; producing tobacco or civilian firearms; or deriving their revenues from the following activities: (i) thermal coal; (ii) tobacco; (iii) civilian firearms; or (iv) oil sand. Companies that are classified as violating United Nations Global Compact principles are also excluded from the Index. The remaining securities are then weighted by their free-float adjusted market capitalisation. Free float–adjusted market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares available to international investors. Securities that are liquid means that they can be easily bought or sold in the market in normal market conditions. The Investment Manager will take into account the above ESG criteria only when selecting the securities to be held directly by the Fund. The Fund may also obtain indirect exposure (through but not limited to, financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) and units in collective investment schemes) to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value).
