The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities that, as far as possible and practicable, make up the Index in similar proportions to their weightings in the Index. Where it is not possible or practicable to invest directly in all of the constituents of the Index, the Fund may also invest in equity related securities and instruments that are not constituents of the Index but have similar risk and performance characteristics, and may use financial derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management or to assist in tracking the performance of the Index. The Fund promotes a range of environmental and social characteristics which are met by tracking the Index. Further information on how such characteristics are met by the Fund can be found in the Fund Supplement. This Share Class does not intend to pay dividends. Any income which may result from the Fund's investments will be re-invested into the Fund. Shares in this Share Class (the "Shares") are denominated in CHF and can be bought and sold on stock exchanges by ordinary investors using 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 Timetable" published on http://www.lgim.com.

The depositary of the Fund is the Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Dublin Branch. Further information about the Fund and the share class can be obtained from the Company's prospectus and the annual and semi-annual reports, which are available, in addition to the latest prices for the share class and details of any other share classes, free of charge at: www.lgim.com.

Intended Retail Investor:The Fund is designed for investors looking to grow their money in an investment which can form part of their existing savings portfolio. Although investors can take their money out at any time, the Fund may not be appropriate for those who plan to withdraw their money within five years. The Fund is not designed for investors who cannot afford more than a minimal loss of their investment.

USPC is hedged to CHF; the index the issuer places next to it in its documents is the unhedged, foreign-currency version. Subtracting one from the other does not measure replication quality: it measures the exchange rate. In a year when the currency moves 5%, “the TD” would come out near 5 points — a plausible-looking number, with decimals, and wrong.

Other sites publish that number. We would rather show one figure less than one figure wrong: the TD will return here the day we have the CHF-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.

Still want to know how well this fund tracks its index? Look at the unhedged sister class, ISPY, where fund and index share the same currency: its TD is the right measure of the management, which is the same. Go to the ISPY page →
