Class:GBP ISIN:IE00B64PTF05 ## Objectives and Investment Policy Investment Objective: The Fund aims to track as closely as possible the returns of the FTSE 250 Index (the Index). The Fund will invest in or gain exposure to shares of companies which make up the Index. Investment Policy: The Index is made up of mid-sized stock market listed companies (as measured by the market value of their shares) based in the United Kingdom. The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest in the shares of the companies in generally the same proportion as in the Index. There may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in all constituents of the Index. If the Fund cannot invest directly in the companies that constitute the Index, it may gain exposure by using other investments such as depositary receipts, derivatives or funds. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in securities from a single issuer during exceptional market conditions. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference. However, this is not expected to exceed 5%. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in other funds, including HSBC funds. The Fund may also invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes (such as to manage risk and costs, or to generate additional capital or income). � The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions for up to 30% of its assets. However, this is not expected to exceed 25%. � The reference currency of the Fund is GBP. The reference currency of this share class is GBP. � Income is distributed. � Authorised Participants only may deal in the Fund’s shares directly with the UCITS. � The Fund’s shares are listed on one or more stock exchange(s). � You may sell your investment on most working days. � Recommendation: this Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within a period of 5 years. � This product is based overseas and is not subject to UK sustainable investment labelling and disclosure requirements. ## Risk and Reward Profile Lower risk Higher risk Typically lower rewards Typically higher rewards ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The risk and reward indicator is based on historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The risk and reward category shown is not guaranteed to remain unchanged and may shift over time. The lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment. Why is this Fund in this specific category? This Fund is classified in category 6 because its price or simulated data has shown high fluctuations historically. Material risks not fully captured by the Risk and Reward Indicator: > � Counterparty Risk The possibility that the counterparty to a transaction may be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations. > � Derivatives Risk Derivatives can behave unexpectedly. The pricing and volatility of many derivatives may diverge from strictly reflecting the pricing or volatility of their underlying reference(s), instrument or asset. > � Exchange Rate Risk Changes in currency exchange rates could reduce or increase investment gains or investment losses, in some cases significantly. > � Index Tracking Risk To the extent that the Fund seeks to replicate index performance by holding individual securities, there is no guarantee that its composition or performance will exactly match that of the target index at any given time (“tracking error”). > � Investment Fund Risk Investing in other funds involves certain risks an investor would not face if investing in markets directly. Governance of underlying assets can be the responsibility of third-party managers. > � Investment Leverage Risk Investment Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source. > � Liquidity Risk Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Fund may encounter difficulties meeting its obligations in respect of financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets, thereby compromising existing or remaining investors. > � Operational Risk Operational risks may subject the Fund to errors affecting transactions, valuation, accounting, and financial reporting, among other things.
