iShares MDAX® UCITS ETF (DE) tracks the issuer-declared index: MDAX (Performance Index) NET. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.51%, plus 0.06% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Replication is full physical replication (declared as “Replica” by the issuer); income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 1.5 billion euro, was launched on 19 April 2001 and is domiciled in Germany. In our registry it is the largest by assets among the 2 ETFs declaring the same index.
The Unit Class iShares MDAX® UCITS ETF (DE) EUR (Acc) (the “Unit Class”) is a unit class of the iShares MDAX® UCITS ETF (DE) (the “Fund”) which is a passively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the performance of the MDAX® (Performance Index) as closely as possible. In this regard, it aims to replicate the benchmark (Index). The Index measures the performance of 50 medium-sized German companies from all industries, as well as foreign companies operating primarily in Germany. These companies are listed on the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and come in behind the 40 DAX® stocks in terms of free float market capitalisation and exchange turnover. The components are weighted by free float market capitalisation with a cap at 10%. Free float market capitalisation is the market value of a company's readily available outstanding shares. The Index composition is reviewed annually and rebalanced quarterly, along with extraordinary reviews as needed. The Fund mostly invests in equities in order to achieve the investment objective. The proportion of assets in the Fund which matches the weighting of the Index (duplication percentage) is at least 95% of the Fund's assets. It is not the Investment Manager’s intention to leverage the Fund. However, the Fund may generate minimal amounts of leverage from time to time, for example, if using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for efficient portfolio management purposes. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of the investment. The relationship between the return on the investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold the investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).

The value of the units is related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The prevailing market price at which the units trade on the secondary market may deviate from the value of the units. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites.
Intended retail investor:This Fund is intended for retail investors with basic knowledge and experience, with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested in the Fund. This Fund is suitable for medium to long term investment, though the Fund may also be suitable for shorter term exposure to the Index (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).
Insurance benefits:The Fund does not offer any insurance benefits.
