Evaluate funds side by side, to find the best fit for your investment goals.
The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest, so far as possible and practicable, in the stocks that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of large- and mid-cap stocks across emerging markets, with constituents selected based on the proportion of shares available for purchase by international investors. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding its constituent stocks in similar proportions, although it may use financial derivative instruments, American Depositary Receipts and/or Global Depositary Receipts to gain exposure to certain securities. The Fund’s shares are accumulating, meaning income is included in their value.

The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the S&P 500 GBP Hedged Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Index provides a return on the S&P 500, which measures the performance of large-cap stocks in the US market. Stocks are included in the Index based on a free-float market capitalisation-weighted basis. The Index also uses one-month foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge each non-Sterling currency in the Index back to Sterling. The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest in the stocks that make up the S&P 500, as well as foreign exchange forward contracts that track the Index’s hedging methodology. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the stocks that make up the Index in similar proportions to it. The Fund may use financial derivative instruments to produce a similar return to the Index and may engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to generate additional income. The Fund’s base currency is Sterling and shares are accumulating.
