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 STOXX Global Nuclear Energy and Uranium Mining Index, the Fund‘s benchmark index (”Index”). The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index reflects the performance of a subset of equity securities of eligible developed and emerging countries globally within the STOXX World AC Universal All Cap Index. Companies within the Index are expected to be involved in nuclear power generation, uranium mining and fuel manufacturing, or provide supporting products and services (the “Nuclear Energy and Uranium Mining Theme"). The Index includes companies that: (i) meet the inclusion criteria defined by their revenue and/or patent exposure to the Nuclear Energy and Uranium Mining Theme and/or their nuclear power generation capacity; and (ii) meet criteria around daily trading volume and market capitalization and are domiciled in an eligible country as determined by the index provider. The Index excludes companies classified as Non-Compliant with Sustainalytics’ Global Standards Screening (“GSS”), companies which Sustainalytics identifies to have a Controversy Rating of Category 5 (Severe), and companies determined to have involvement in activities related to certain controversial weapons. The Index is adjusted equally weighted and applies a higher weighting to issuers assessed to have a greater involvement in Nuclear Energy and Uranium Mining Theme. The Index rebalances on an annual basis. At each rebalance, companies which are no longer eligible will be removed from the Index. On a quarterly basis, current constituents of the Index are screened for their involvement in severe ESG controversies and assessment of GSS, and issuers which are no longer eligible will be removed at the relevant quarter. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the 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 help achieve the Fund’s investment objective. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund. 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 your investment. The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).
