The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance before fees and expenses of an index which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of large-capitalisation companies representing all major US industries and which meet certain, environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) criteria. In order to seek to achieve the investment objective, the Fund will adopt a Direct Investment Policy and will aim to replicate or track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the S&P 500 ESG Index (the “Reference Index”), by holding a portfolio of equity securities that comprises all, or a substantial number of, the securities comprised in the Reference Index (the “Underlying Securities”).
