The Fund is a passively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to provide multi-factor exposure to global equity markets by tracking the performance of the WTW Global Equity Diversified Index based on MSCI ACWI* (a custom index constructed by MSCI according to criteria provided by WTW) (the "Index"), net of ongoing charges and other costs associated with operating the Fund.

The Fund promotes a range of environmental and social characteristics which are met by tracking the Index. The shares of this Share Class (the "Shares") are denominated in USD and may be bought and sold on the stock exchange by ordinary investors through an intermediary (e.g. a stockbroker). In normal circumstances, only Authorised Participants may buy and sell Shares directly with the Company. Authorised Participants may redeem their Shares on demand in accordance with the "Dealing Calendar" published at http://www.lgim.com. The Index seeks to provide greater exposure, based on a custom multi-factor score, than the MSCI ACWI (the "Parent Index") across both developed and emerging markets. The custom multi-factor score includes the value, quality and momentum factors. The Index excludes companies involved in activities relating to the production of controversial weapons and tobacco, thermal coal mining, thermal coal power generation and oil sands extraction, as well as companies that do not meet the minimum ESG controversies score defined by the Index Provider and other minimum requirements. The weightings of the Index constituents are the outcome of the optimisation process. The Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis. The Fund will primarily make direct investments in the securities represented in the Index in proportions similar to the Index weightings. The Fund may also invest in (1) companies that are not included in the Index but have risk and return characteristics similar to those of companies included in the Index and (2) financial derivative instruments ("FDIs") (i.e. investments whose prices are based on the companies included in the Index and/or similar companies). The Fund may also engage in securities lending transactions. In such circumstances it lends its investments to third parties in order to generate additional income and to offset its costs. The Fund's Prospectus provides further information on securities lending transactions. This Share Class does not pay dividends. All income arising from the Fund's investments will be reinvested in the Fund. The Fund's depositary is Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin branch.

Further information about the Fund and the share class is contained in the Company's prospectus and in the annual and half-yearly reports, available free of charge, together with the latest share class prices and details of any other share classes, at: www.lgim.com.

The Fund is intended for investors seeking growth and income from passively managed investments in shares of companies internationally. Although investors may divest at any time, the Fund may not be appropriate for those who intend to do so within five years. The Fund is not intended for investors who cannot afford more than a minimal loss of their investment.
