Description: This Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, a widely recognised benchmark of the large and mid cap sized companies of the developed markets of the Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan. The Fund employs a âpassive managementâ â or indexing â investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, designed to track the performance of the Index, a free float adjusted market capitalisation weighted index. In tracking the performance of the Index, the Fund attempts to replicate the Index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the Index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the Index and may therefore have exposure to or invest up to 20% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund in stocks issued by the same body, which limit may be raised to 35% for a single issuer in exceptional market conditions which may include the dominance of a particular issuer in the relevant market.
