Investment Policy:The Sub-Fund pursues a passively managed (indextracking)strategy. The Sub-Fund aims to track the performance of the Index as closely as possible, regardless of whether the Index level rises or falls, while seeking to minimise as far as possible the tracking error between the Sub-Fund's performance and that of the Index. The Index is comprised of large and mid-capitalisation equity securities issued in developed markets globally (the "Index Securities"). The components of the Index are selected from the components of the Solactive GBS Developed Markets Large & Mid Cap (the "Investable Universe") in accordance with the index's rules-based methodology which is summarised below. The constituents of the Index and geographical exposure of Index Securities may be subject to change over time. The Index rebalances on a quarterly basis (as referred to under "Index Tracking Risk" in the Prospectus). Further details on the Index, including its methodology, components and performance, are available at https://www.solactive.com/indices/?index=DE000SL0BE72, and further details on the Investable Universe, including its components and performance, are available at https://www.solactive.com/indices/? index=DE000SLA41D2. The Index aims to meet the requirements for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks as defined in the EU Climate Benchmarks Regulation, and provide low carbon emission exposure relative to the Investable Universe with a view to achieving the long-term global warming objectives of the Paris Agreement. In particular, the Index aims to achieve a reduction of the greenhouse gas intensity of the Index of at least 7% on average per annum and an overall reduction of the greenhouse gas intensity of the Index compared to the Investable Universe of at least 30%. Greenhouse gas intensity means greenhouse gas emissions divided by enterprise value including cash. The Index is designed to capture the performance of companies which have been identified through its rules-based process as best positioned to benefit from a transition to a low carbon economy by effectively managing their emissions, resources and climate-related risks. The Index applies this rules-based non-financial analysis process to all Index Securities as further described below. Index Construction The Index methodology applies values and norms based screening to implement exclusions on certain industries and issuers based on specific ESG criteria and/or minimum standards of business practice based on international norms. To support this screening, the Index Provider relies on third party provider(s) who identify an issuer's participation in or the revenue which they derive from activities that are inconsistent with the values and norms based screens. The Index then uses a three-step, rules based approach. First, the regional and sector weights are allocated in accordance with the

JPCE 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.
