Stocks and Shares ISAObjective
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 Europe Mid-Cap Equally Weighted Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Share Class, via the Fund, invests in 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 mid capitalisation equity securities (e.g. shares) within the MSCI Europe Index (“Parent Index”), with each security being equally weighted within the benchmark index. Market capitalisation is the share price of a company multiplied by the number of shares issued. The Benchmark Index includes the mid capitalisation constituents of the Parent Index but, at each rebalance date, all index constituents are weighted equally, effectively removing the influence of each constituent’s current share price (high or low). This means that, at each index rebalance, the Benchmark Index will have a larger weighting in the smaller mid capitalisation equity securities compared to its Parent Index. The Parent Index is designed to provide representation of the equity markets in developed European countries. Companies are included in the Parent Index based on the proportion of their shares in issue that are available for purchase by international investors. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its benchmark index. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties. This is used as a means of generating additional income and to off-set the costs of the Fund.
