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’sassets, which reflects the return of the MSCI EM Asia Index Net USD, 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 the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of large and mid-market capitalisation companies of certain emerging market countries in Asia which comply with MSCI's size, liquidity, and free-float criteria. Companies are included in the Index based on a free float – adjusted market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float means that only shares readily available in the market rather than all of a company’s issued shares are used in calculating the Index. Free float – adjusted market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares readily available in the market. Securities that are liquid means that they can be easily bought or sold in the normal market conditions. The Index is a net total return index which means that the net dividends of the constituents of the Index are reinvested after thededuction of any taxes that may apply. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. 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. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund’s investment objective. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. 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 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, Dublin Branch.
