Description: The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the “Index”), while minimising as far as possible the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index. The Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index designed to measure the performance of the largest companies in Brazil, Chile, China (accessed via H Shares listed and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and B Shares listed and traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges), Columbia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Qatar, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and UAE, as defined by the Index Provider. The markets in which the issuers are based are considered to be emerging markets and accordingly, are subject to the risks described in the Investment Risks section of the Fund Supplement.
