VS
£VUAG
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.

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
The “cumulative” calculation shows returns on a price basis (i.e. excluding dividends). If an instrument trades in a different currency from your home currency, currency fluctuations may affect returns. These instruments are traded in different currencies, and performance is shown in the instruments' trading currencies
