The investment objective of the Fund is to track the U.S. equity market performance of large cap securities by seeking to replicate the performance of the S&P 500 Index (the 'Index') as closely as possible. The Fund is an index tracking fund (and also known as a passively managed fund). The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index, which consists of the top 500 companies in the U.S. equity market. The Fund seeks to hold all the securities of the Index with the approximate weightings as in that Index. Although the Index is generally well diversified, to enable the Fund to track the Index accurately, the Fund will make use of the increased diversification limits available under the UCITS Regulations, which permit it to hold positions in individual constituents of the Index issued by the same body of up to 20% of the Fund's net asset value.

The Fund employs a passive management approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the FTSE 100 Index. The Index is comprised of large-sized company stocks in the UK. 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 process, the Fund will use a sampling process. The Fund may use derivatives to reduce risk and/or generate extra income, and may engage in short-term secured lending of its investments. The Fund's base currency is GBP, and income from the ETF Shares is reinvested and reflected in the share price.
