Description: The aim is for the investment to track the performance before fees and expenses of the MSCI ACWI Index Net Return (Index). As of 28 June 2013, the Index consists of shares of large and medium sized capitalisation stocks across 24 developed markets countries and 21 emerging markets countries and contains 2,424 constituents. In order for securities to be eligible, they must also meet objective screening criteria such as liquidity requirements and free float market capitalisation requirements. The Index is calculated in Euro, and is reviewed and rebalanced on a quarterly basis and may also be rebalanced at other times in order to reflect corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions. The Index is calculated on a total return net basis. This means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The Index is reviewed and rebalanced at least quarterly.
