iShares Edge S&P 500 Minimum Volatility UCITS ETF USD (Dist)

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 Minimum Volatility Index, 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 aims to reflect the performance characteristics of a subset of securities within the S&P 500 Index (Parent Index) with the lowest absolute volatility of returns, subject to risk diversification. The constituents of the Index are selected using a minimum volatility strategy which selects securities from the Parent Index based on estimates of the risk profile and expected volatility of each constituent and the correlation between all constituents in the Parent Index. Volatility of returns measures the movements in the daily price of the constituents over a period of time. The Parent Index measures the performance of the large-cap sector (i.e. companies with large market capitalisation) within the United States market. As the Parent Index includes a significant portion of the total value of the market, it also represents the market. Companies in the Parent Index are considered leading companies in leading industries. Market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares issued. Companies are included in the Index based on a free float market capitalisation weighted basis. 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 (in
