$IDEM
This Fund's investment objective is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Index measures the performance of large and mid capitalisation stocks across emerging market countries which comply with MSCI's size, liquidity, and free-float criteria.

The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (the Index). The Index is comprised of large-sized company stocks in the US. The Fund attempts to track the performance of the Index by investing in all constituent securities of the Index in the same proportion as the Index, where not practicable to fully replicate, the Fund will use a sampling process, and remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
