The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a return which, before the application of fees and expenses, is similar to the return of the FTSE Global Small Cap Index. The Fund employs a passive management approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Index. The Index includes companies that represent approximately the smallest 10% of the total market capitalisation of the global investable equity universe. The Fund attempts to track the Index by investing in a representative sample of Index constituent securities and may use derivatives to reduce risk or cost and/or generate extra income or growth. The Fund's base currency is USD, although it may invest in securities denominated in other currencies. Income from the ETF shares will be reinvested and reflected in the share price.
