Investment objective: The objective of the Fund is to provide exposure to the performance of global listed companies that are developing sophisticated weapons, defensive systems and other solutions for securing borders. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. In order to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will seek to replicate the net total return performance of the of the S&P Kensho Global Future Defense Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. The Fund will as far as possible and practicable, replicate the Index by holding all the securities in the Index in a similar proportion to their respective weightings in the Index. The Fund may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs, generating additional capital or income. The Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby 90% of the revenues arising from securities lending will be returned to the Fund and 10% of the revenues will be retained by the securities lending agent. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund’s base currency is USD. The Index: The S&P Kensho Global Future Defense Index (the "Index") tracks the performance of global listed companies that are developing sophisticated weapons, defensive systems and other solutions for securing borders. The Index is constructed by selecting securities from a broad equity universe which includes only developed market countries as defined by the Index provider. The Index screens securities from the eligible universe to exclude those that do not meet minimum liquidity criteria; further details on the liquidity threshold criteria can be found in the Index methodology. Companies are then assessed and selected if they are determined by the Index provider to be focused on developing sophisticated weaponry & defensive systems and other solutions for securing borders; specifically including the following business activities: (a) Smart borders and securing critical infrastructure; (b) Military applications of cyber security, space systems, robotics, remotely operated or unmanned air and sea drones, wearable technologies and virtual or augmented reality. The Index provider utilises an automated scan of companies’ most recent regulatory filings to identify specific search terms and phrases that link the company’s products and services to any of these activities. The resulting selected companies comprise the list of companies in the Index. The companies are then classified into two groups, "Core" (those with a significant portion of their business operations and/or revenues deriving from products and services aligned with the theme), or "Non-Core" (those that operate across the broader value chain of the theme, providing vital inputs such as critical subcomponents to the end products aligned to the theme, but not focusing on delivering these end products themselves), as determined by the Index provider. An overweight factor is applied to the group of Core securities relative to the Noncore to enhance the overall exposure of the Index to the Core group and emphasize pure play innovation. Within each group, companies are equally weighted subject to diversification and liquidity constraints. The Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis. This document provides a summary of the principal features of the Index, the complete description of the Index (available from the Index provider) shall at all times prevail. Investors should note that the Index is the intellectual property of the Index provider. The Fund is not sponsored or endorsed by the Index provider and a full disclaimer can be found in the Fund’s supplement. Dividend Policy: This Share Class does not pay you income, but instead reinvests it to grow your capital, in line with its stated objectives.
