iShares MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which 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 All Countries World Index Net USD, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed and invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of large and mid capitalisation companies across developed and emerging markets. Companies are included in the Index on a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float-adjusted means that only shares available to international investors rather than all of a company's issued shares are used in calculating the Index. Market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares issued. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to the Index. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. In order to gain exposure to certain securities in emerging markets that make up the Index, the Fund may invest in American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). ADRs and GDRs are investments issued by financial institutions which give exposure to underlying equity securities. 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 equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing
