£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.

The investment objective of this Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the FTSE 100 Index. The Index measures the performance of the 100 largest capitalisation UK listed stocks, which pass screening for size, liquidity and free-float criteria. The Benchmark Index is free-float market capitalisation weighted and rebalances on a quarterly basis.

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.
