iShares MSCI EMU CHF Hedged UCITS ETF

The Fund aims 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 EMU 100% hedged to CHF Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Index provides a return on the MSCI EMU Index which measures the performance of large and mid-market capitalisation companies across developed market countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) according to the MSCI size, liquidity and free float criteria. The Index is free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted. Free float means that only shares available to international investors rather than all of a company's issued shares are used in calculating the Index. Free float - adjusted market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares available to international investors. Securities that are liquid means that they can be easily bought or sold in the market in normal market conditions. The Index also uses (FX) forward contracts to hedge each nonSwiss Franc (CHF) currency in the Index back to CHF, the base currency of the Fund. Hedging reduces the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rates between the currencies of the equity securities that make up the Index and CHF. The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the MSCI EMU Index, as well as FX forward contracts that, so far as possible and practicable, track the hedging methodology of the Index. They hedge each non-CHF currency in the Index back to the Fund's base currency. This is based on the MSCI Hedged Indices methodology. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund. The price of
