Description: The Fund aims to reflect the performance before fees and expenses of the MSCI World Sector Neutral Quality (USD) Index (Index). The Index is based on the MSCI World Index (Parent Index) which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium listed companies in developed markets countries. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the Index, shares must be included as constituents within the Parent Index and are then selected using a quality strategy. The quality strategy considers various quality characteristics of the shares and compares those results to peer companies. The characteristics focus on Return-on-equity (amount of income generated as a percentage of shareholders equity), leverage (which monitors the level of debt within the company), and earning variability (which monitors movements in a company’s net earnings over a set time period).
