iShares Edge MSCI World 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 MSCI World 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 MSCI World 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 equity markets in developed countries worldwide. Companies are included in the Parent Index based on the proportion of their shares in issue that are available for purchase by international investors. 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 upthe 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. The use of FDIs is expectedto be limited for this Share Class. 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.
