iShares S&P 500 GBP Hedged UCITS ETF (Acc) tracks the issuer-declared index: S&P 500 Index, 100% GBP Hedged Net Return. Mind the share class: this is the version hedged to GBP — returns reflect the index plus the effect (and cost) of hedging into that currency. The declared annual cost (TER) is 0.20%, plus 0.01% in transaction costs estimated by the issuer in the KID. Income is accumulated and reinvested in the fund. The fund has assets of about 1.4 billion euro, was launched on 30 September 2010 and is domiciled in Ireland.
The Fund 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 S&P 500 GBP, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Index provides a return on the S&P 500 which measures the performance of the large-cap sector (i.e. leading companies with large market capitalisations) of the United States market. Market capitalisation is the share price multiplied by the number of shares issued. Companies are included in the Index based on a free float market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float means that only shares available to international investors, rather than all of a company’s issued shares, are used to calculate the Index. Free float market capitalisation is the share price of a company multiplied by the number of shares available to international Investors. The Index also uses one month foreign exchange (FX) forward contracts to hedge each non-Sterling currency in the Index back to Sterling in accordance with the S&P Hedged Indices methodology. Hedging reduces the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rates between the currencies of the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index and Sterling, the base currency of the Fund. 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 S&P 500, as well as FX forward contracts that, so far as possible and practicable, track the hedging methodology of the Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. The Investment Manager may use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs“) for direct investment purposes to produce a similar return to its Index. 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). The Fund’s base currency is Sterling. 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?”).
