The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of a sub-set of equity securities within the MSCI USA Small Cap Index (Parent Index) and excludes companies from the Parent Index based on the index provider’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) exclusionary criteria. The remaining companies are then weighted by the index provider using an optimisation process which aims to meet decarbonisation targets and other minimum standards for an EU Climate Transition Benchmark (as further described in the Fund’s prospectus), whilst targeting a similar risk and return profile, and maintaining a better ESG score, each in relation to the Parent Index. Companies are excluded from the Index if they are involved with controversial and nuclear weapons, production of civilian firearms (relating to automatic and semi- automatic civilian firearms and small arms ammunition), distribution of civilian firearms or small arms ammunition, tobacco, thermal coal, or unconventional oil and gas. Companies that are classified as violating the United Nations Global Compact principles, are involved in serious ESG controversies, as determined by the index provider, or have not been assessed by the index provider for an ESG controversy score or an ESG rating, are also excluded from the Index. The Fund may obtain limited exposure to securities considered not to satisfy these ESG criteria. The Fund adopts a binding and significant ESG optimisation approach to sustainable investing. This means that the Fund will integrate ESG information into its investment process to optimise exposure to issuers to achieve a higher ESG rating and reduce exposure to carbon emissions compared to the Parent Index while meeting optimisation constraints. The Parent Index measures the performance of small capitalisation stocks of the US equity markets which comply with MSCI’s size, liquidity and free-float criteria. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to the Index. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund.
