The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track performance of the MSCI World Small Cap Index (Net Total Return) (the 'Index'). The Index is designed to measure the performance of small capitalisation companies across developed markets globally which comply with MSCI's size, liquidity and free float criteria. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted index. The Fund will use a sampling strategy which invests in a representative sample of constituent stocks of the index selected by the investment manager using quantitative analytical models in a technique known as 'portfolio optimization'. In seeking to implement its investment objective of tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund may also in exceptional circumstances hold securities which are not comprised in its Index, including, for example, securities in respect of which there has been an announcement or it is expected that they will shortly be included in the Index. The Fund may, for the purpose of reducing risk, reducing costs or generating additional capital or income, use derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments may multiply the gains or losses made by the Fund on given investment or on its investments generally. Currency hedged share classes may also be available in the Fund. The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions. The return of the fund depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. Fund income is not paid out, but instead will be reinvested.
