IShares V Plc (IUCS) S&P 500 Consumer Staples Sector UCITS ETF USD 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 S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Consumer Staples Index, the Fund’s benchmark 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 benchmark index. The benchmark index measures the performance of stocks from the S&P 500 Index which are within the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) consumer staples sector. The S&P 500 measures the performance of 500 stocks from top US companies in leading industries of the US economy which meet S&P’s size, liquidity and free-float criteria. The GICS consumer staples sector currently comprises companies which businesses are less sensitive to economic cycles. It includes manufacturers and distributors of food, beverages and tobacco and producers of non-durable household goods and personal products. It also includes food and drug retailing companies as well as hypermarkets and consumer super centres. The benchmark index may not include and/or may not be limited to every category comprising the sector listed here. Companies are included in the benchmark index on a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float-adjusted means that only shares available to international investors, rather than all of a company’s issued shares, are used to calculate the benchmark index. The benchmark index caps the weight of the largest companies at each rebalance to ensure index diversification. The weight of the largest group entity in the benchmark index is capped at 33% and the remaining group entities at 19%. The Fund intends to replicate the benchmark index by holding the equity securities which make up the benchmark index, in similar proportions to it. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to helpachieve the Fund’s investment objective. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value).
