The Sub-fund is a passively managed index-tracking UCITS. The Sub-fund replicates the MDAX ESG+ (NR) EUR (Net Total Return Index) (ISIN DE000A3DMSJ4) (the "Index" of this Sub-fund) as a benchmark and pursues the investment objective of providing investors with a return that tracks the performance of the MDAX ESG+. This Sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics as defined by Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector. The index calculated by STOXX Ltd replicates the performance of the MDAX Index using ESG exclusion filters and the rating methods from the ESG division of the data provider International Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS ESG") and taking into account the exclusions specified in Article 12(1) a) to g) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818, as amended, in order to exclude at least 20 percent of the MDAX companies that do not satisfy the requirements in respect of minimum ESG rating, standard-based screening, screening for controversial weapons and various screenings for business activity. Companies that do not meet specific criteria related to tobacco products, thermal coal, development of thermal coal mining, thermal coal-fired power generation and its development, fossil fuels, oil sand, Arctic oil and gas exploration, hydraulic fracking, nuclear energy services, production of atomic energy, nuclear energy – uranium, civil firearms and military equipment, will be excluded. If the ESG rating excludes less than 20 percent of the companies in the MDAX Index, companies that have an ESG rating better than D- but that are evaluated as being close to D- will also be excluded until the target is reached. With regard to nuclear energy and natural gas, the management company may, in the context of the index to be tracked, acquire assets of issuers or portfolio companies that generate their revenues through activities related to the production of energy or other uses of nuclear energy and natural gas and the extraction of uranium or natural gas. Details can be found in the prospectus in the Special section, under "Description of the underlying index of the Subfund". Reweighting takes place quarterly. Reweighting operations have an impact on the costs to be paid by the Sub-fund and thus on the performance of the Subfund. A tracking error of up to 1% can be expected when linking to the performance of the Index. Information about the index is available online at https://stoxx.com/index/mdxesgpn/. In compliance with the investment policy and investment limits described in the investment conditions and prospectus, the Sub-fund shall endeavour to achieve the investment objective by acquiring all (or, exceptionally, a significant number of) parts of the Index in the same proportion as the Index (as determined by the investment manager). Fully replicating ETFs may not hold every part or the exact weighting of a part in the benchmark. Instead, they may seek exposure to a benchmark through the use of optimisation techniques (so-called sampling) and/or investments in securities that are not part of a benchmark. Securities loan transactions and repurchase agreements may not be concluded. The Sub-fund may invest a maximum of 10% of its assets in shares of other domestic or foreign UCITS or CIUs. The use of derivative financial instruments is possible only in special situations in the interest of investors. The value of derivative financial instruments may not exceed 10% of the Sub-fund. At least 94 percent of the value of the UCITS special fund is invested in equity investments as defined by § 2 (8) Investment Tax Act.
