The Fund is passively managed and will seek to track the performance of the MSCI World Small Cap SRI Low Carbon Select 5% Issuer Capped Index (Net Return) (the 'Index'). The Index is an equity Index denominated in USD and tracks the performance of best-in-class global small cap companies which focus on ESG considerations. This 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 Index is a 'low carbon select' index and companies are excluded based on their exposure to certain business activities (controversial weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, thermal coal, fossil fuel extraction), their record in facing certain ESG controversies (as determined by the Index Provider's research) and on carbon emission intensity levels. The Index selects companies with low exposure to fossil fuel reserves and low carbon emissions per dollar. The maximum weight of any issuer is capped at 5%. This Fund will seek to hold the securities of the Index with the approximate weightings as in the Indexso that the portfolio of the Fund will be a near mirror-image of the Index. The Fund may also hold securities which are not comprised in its Index, including, for example, securities which are expected to shortly be included in the Index. The Fund may, to reduce risk reduce costs or generate additional capital or income, use derivative instruments. The use of derivative instruments may multiply the gains or losses made by the Fund on a 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. The return of the fund depends mainly on the performance of the tracked index. Fund income is not paid out, but instead will be reinvested.
