iShares STOXX USA Equity Multifactor 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 STOXX US Equity Factor Screened, 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 equity securities within the STOXX US Universal Index ("Parent Index"), which are selected and weighted in order to maximise exposure to five factors (as more readily described in the Index methodology) compared to other securities within the Parent Index: Momentum, Quality, Value, Low Volatility and Size. The constituents of the Index are selected from the Parent Index using the index providers risk model (the "Model") which applies an optimisation process to the constituents of the Parent Index to select constituents so as to maximise exposure to the five 'style' factors and aims to weight constituents in the Index with a higher overall score representative of the exposures to the five 'style' factors. The Index excludes issuers from the Parent Index based on their involvement in the following business lines/activities (or related activities): controversial weapons, weapons (such as small arms and military contracting), tobacco, thermal coal, unconventional oil and gas (such as oil sands). The Parent Index represents large and mid capitalisation companies across the equity markets in the United States. The Index rebalances on a quarterly basis to apply the Model to take into account the deletions from the Parent Index. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments ("FDIs") (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on on
