You are advised to read it so you can make an informed decision about whether to invest. iShares MSCI Pacific ex-Japan ESG USD (Acc) Share ClassISIN: IE00BMDBMK72 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Enhanced UCITS ETF Manager: BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited A sub-fund of iShares III plc Objectives and Investment Policy The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's investments, which reflects the return of the MSCI Pacific ex-Japan ESG Enhanced Focus CTB Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed, and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of a sub-set of equity securities of companies within the MSCI Pacific ex-Japan Index (Parent Index) and excludes companies from the Parent Index based in 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 exceed decarbonisation and other minimum standards for an EU Climate Transition Benchmark (as further described in the Fund’s prospectus) and maximise exposure to issuers with higher ESG ratings, while targeting a similar risk profile and capping the tracking error of the Index, each in relation to the Parent Index. Companies may be excluded from the Parent Index if they are involved with controversial, conventional, and nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, thermal coal, tobacco, or unconventional oil and gas. Companies that are classified as violating the United Nations Global Compact principles, have a ‘Red’ MSCI ESG Controversies score, or have not been assessed by the index provider for an ESG controversies 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 best-in-class approach to sustainable investing, this means that it is expected that the Fund will invest in the best issuers from an ESG perspective (based on the ESG criteria of the Index) within each relevant sector of activities covered by the Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments (“FDIs“) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) for direct investment purposes to produce a similar return to its Index. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to offset the costs of the Fund. Recommendation: This Fund is suitable for medium to long term investment, though the Fund may also be suitable for shorter term exposure to the Index. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value). Your shares will be denominated in US Dollar, the Fund's base currency.
