You are about to purchase a product that is not simple and may be difficult to understand. Ø What is this product? Type: abrdn Future Real Estate UCITS ETF (the "Fund") is a US Dollar denominated sub-fund of an ICAV (Irish Collective Asset-management Vehicle), abrdn III ICAV, incorporated in Ireland. Term: No fixed term. Objectives: To generate growth over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in listed real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and equities (company shares) of companies engaged in real estate-related activities globally. Performance Target: To outperform the FTSE EPRA NAREIT Developed Net Index (the “Benchmark Index”) before charges. There is however no certainty or promise that the Fund will achieve the Performance Target. The Investment Manager believes this is an appropriate target for the Fund based on the investment policy of the Fund and the constituents of the Benchmark Index. Portfolio Securities - The Fund will invest at least 80% in listed real estate holding and development companies and REITs listed on global stock exchanges (“Companies”) that make up the Benchmark Index. - The Fund may invest up to 20% in listed Companies globally that are not constituents of the Benchmark Index but which operate in sectors researched by the abrdn Real Estate Global HouseView (as outlined below). - The abrdn ESG House Score is used to quantitatively identify and exclude those Companies exposed to the highest ESG risks. - The Investment Manager applies a set of Company exclusions to rule out a narrow, defined list of unacceptable activities and behaviours which are related to the UN Global Compact, State Owned Enterprises (SOE), weapons, tobacco, thermal coal, oil and gas and electricity generation. - Taken together, the Fund will exclude at least 20% of the Benchmark Index from its investment universe. More detail on this overall process is captured below and within abrdn’s Future Real Estate UCITS ETF Investment Approach, which is published at www.abrdn.com under “Fund Centre”. - The Fund may invest up to 10% in other funds (including those managed by abrdn), money-market instruments and cash for liquidity management. These investments may not comply with the sustainable approach applied by the Fund. Management Process - The Fund is actively managed. - Through the application of abrdn’s Future Real Estate UCITS ETF Investment Approach the Fund commits to having a minimum of 10 % in Sustainable Investments. Furthermore, the Fund targets an ESG rating that is better than the Benchmark Index. - Engagement with external Company management teams is used to evaluate the ownership structures, governance and management quality of those Companies in order to inform portfolio construction. - It utilises abrdn’s proprietary Real Estate Global HouseView which, based on the themes that the Investment Manager expects will drive future investment demand in real estate, aims to evaluate the potential for outperformance / underperformance of individual constituents of the broader real estate universe, composed mainly from the Benchmark Index. The abrdn Real Estate Global HouseView considers diverse factors (macroeconomics, capital markets, interest rates and real estate fundamentals (including supply/demand balance and rent trends) coupled with extensive research on relative valuation among real estate sectors to identify expected returns by region, country and sector, to generate relative rankings by countries and sectors. Individual holdings are then typically selected using the following principles: - Overweighting stocks in segments, countries and regions where the abrdn Real Estate Global HouseView is positive (superior relative returns are expected); - Underweighting those stocks where it is negative (inferior relative returns are expected); and - Taking neutral exposure where it is neutral (expected returns are neither superior nor inferior) or stocks are not within the coverage of the abrdn Real Estate Global HouseView. - In order to achieve its objective, the Fund will take positions whose weightings diverge from the Benchmark Index or invest in securities which are not included in the Benchmark Index. The investments of the Fund may deviate significantly from the components and their weightings in the Benchmark Index, however, the Fund’s risk profile is not ordinarily expected to deviate significantly from the Benchmark Index over the longer term. Derivatives and Techniques - The Fund may use derivatives to reduce risk, reduce cost and/or generate additional income or growth consistent with the risk profile of the Fund (often referred to as “Efficient Portfolio Management”). - Derivatives will typically be used to maintain allocations to Company shares while meeting cash inflows or outflows. Where these are large relative to the size of the Fund, derivative usage may be significant for limited periods of time. Derivative usage in the Fund otherwise is expected to be very limited. This Fund is subject to Article 8 of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation ("SFDR"). Investors in the fund may buy and sell shares on any dealing day (as defined in the Prospectus). If you invest in income shares, income from investments in the Fund will be paid out to you. If you invest in accumulation shares, income will be added to the value of your shares. Recommendation: the Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years. Investors should satisfy themselves that their attitude to risk aligns with the risk profile of this Fund before investing.
