The Fund aims to maximise the return on your investment through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets and invest in a manner consistent with the principles of environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing. The Fund invests globally at least 70% of its total assets in the equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies the main business of which is in the technology sector. The Fund’s total assets will be invested in accordance with its ESG Policy as disclosed in the prospectus. For further details regarding the ESG characteristics please refer to the prospectus and the BlackRock website at www.blackrock.com/baselinescreens The investment adviser (IA) may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) for investment purposes in order to achieve the investment objective of the Fund, and/or to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via FDIs, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The Fund is actively managed, and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA may take into consideration the MSCI AC World Information Technology 10/40 Index (the “Index”) when constructing theFund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the Index) taken by theFund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Indexwhen selecting investments. The IA may also use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the Index in order to take advantage ofspecific investment opportunities. However, the sector requirements of the investment objective and policy may have the effect of limitingthe extent to which the portfolio holdings will deviate from the Index. The Index should be used by investors to compare the performance ofthe Fund. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of your investment. The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”). The depositary of the Fund is The Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch.
