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.

The investment objective of the Fund is to generate income and capital growth with lower volatility than Developed Market stocks. The Fund is actively managed and, in normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks and stock-related instruments, including call options, futures and swaps, of large- and mid-capitalisation stocks in Developed Markets. The Fund uses quantitative models to select stocks systematically and may sell call options and buy futures on Developed Market large- and mid-capitalisation indices to generate income. The Fund follows the Fund’s ESG Policy and may use financial derivative instruments to achieve its investment objective, reduce risk, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The investment manager may consider the MSCI World Index when constructing the portfolio and for risk management purposes, but is not bound by the components or weightings of the Index. The Fund may invest in securities outside the Index and its holdings are expected to deviate materially from the Index. Distributions are paid monthly.
