iShares S&P 500 Communication Sector 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 S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Communication Services Index, the Fund's benchmark index ("Index"). The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed and aims to invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of equity securities of companies included in the S&P 500 which are within the Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS") Communication Services sector. The GICS Communication Services sector includes companies involved in telecommunication services and media and entertainment services. For further details please refer to the prospectus. The S&P 500 measures the performance of the 500 largest companies (i.e. companies with large market capitalisation) within the United States market which comply with S&P's size, liquidity and free float criteria. Companies are included in the Index based on a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float-adjusted means that only shares readily available in the market 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 a company multiplied by the number of shares readily available in the market. The Index rebalances on a quarterly basis. The Index constituents are capped in accordance with the index provider's methodology to help ensure Index diversification. 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.
