The Share Class is a share class of the 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 Energy Storage and Hydrogen Index, the Fund’s Benchmark Index (“Index”) The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed, and aims to invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index reflects the performance of a subset of equity securities of eligible developed and emerging market countries globally within the STOXX World AC Universal All Cap Index (“Underlying Index”). Companies included in the Index are expected to drive the innovation and viability of energy storage and hydrogen economy solutions; and those that manufacture specialty materials and chemicals for the end products, such as batteries and fuel cells. The Index excludes companies from the Underlying Index which are identified by the index provider as being involved in certain business lines/activities deemed to have negative environmental and/or social outcomes (“ESG Requirements”), as outlined in the Index description of the Fund in the Fund’s Prospectus. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, companies must (i) have a 3-month average daily traded volume (MDTV) greater than $1 million (USD); (ii) have a free-float market capitalisation greater than $200 million (USD); (iii) be domiciled in an eligible developed or emerging market country, also determined by the index provider; and (iv) be assigned to one of the eligible tier groups as determined by the index provider. The Fund’s investment in securities that make up the Index will, at the time of purchase, comply with the ESG requirements of the Index. Where securities no longer meet such requirements, the Fund may continue to hold them until they cease to form part of the Index and it is practicable to sell them. The Fund will take into account such ESG criteria only when selecting the securities to be held directly by the Fund. The Fund may obtain indirect exposure (for example, through financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets and units in collective investment schemes) to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. The Index is a free-float market capitalisation weighted and rebalances on an annual basis. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. 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?”).

Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value). Your shares will be denominated in US Dollar, the Fund's base currency. The shares are listed and traded on various stock exchanges. In normal circumstances, only authorised participants may buy and sell shares directly with the Fund. Investors who are not authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) can generally only buy or sell the shares on the secondary market (e.g. via a broker on a stock exchange) at the then prevailing market price. The value of the shares are 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 shares trade on the secondary market may deviate from the value of the Shares. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites.

Intended retail investor:The Fund is intended for retail investors with the ability to bear losses up to the amount invested in the Fund (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).
