The Fund is passively managed and seeks to track performance of the MSCI USA Selection Index (Net Total Return) (the 'Index'). The Index is designed to measure the performance of best-in-class Environmental, Social and Governance ('ESG') US companies while avoiding companies with negative social or environmental impact. This best-in-class approach excludes at least 20% of the least well-rated securities as against the standard index universe. It is expected that the Fund's resulting ESG rating will be higher than the ESG rating of a Fund tracking a standard index. The Fund does not benefit from an SRI label. The Fund will seek to hold all of the shares of the Index, in the same proportions as the Index, so that essentially the portfolio of the Fund will be a near mirror image of the Index. In seeking to implement its investment objective of tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund may also in exceptional circumstances hold securities which are not comprised in its Index, including, for example, securities in respect of which there has been an announcement or it is expected that they will shortly be included in the Index. The Fund may, for the purpose of reducing risk, reducing costs or generating additional capital or income, use derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments may multiply the gains or losses made by the Fund on given investment or on its investments generally. Currency hedged share classes may also be available in the Fund. This sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective. The Fund will not enter into any securities lending. Fund income is not paid out, but instead will be reinvested. The exchange rate risk of the share class currency is to a large extent hedged against the currency of the fund.

this share class is hedged to EUR; 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 EUR-hedged index series, which the issuer does not publish today.
