iShares MSCI World Materials Sector Advanced UCITS ETF USD (Dist)

The Fund 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 Materials Advanced Select 20 35 Capped Index (the Index). The Fund, aims to invest in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of companies included in the MSCI World Materials Index (Parent Index) and excludes issuers based on the index provider's environmental, social and governance (ESG) exclusionary criteria. Issuers may be excluded if they are involved in controversial, nuclear and conventional weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, thermal coal, oil sands and companies that are classified as violating the United Nations Global Compact principles. The Index also excludes companies based on their involvement in very severe ESG related controversies. The remaining companies are weighted using an optimisation process which aims to reduce the carbon emissions intensity as well as exposure to potential emissions risk of fossil fuel reserves, increase the ESG score and minimise the tracking error, relative to the Parent Index. The Parent Index measures the performance of large and mid capitalisation stocks across developed market countries which comply with MSCI's size, liquidity and free-float criteria that are within the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) materials sector. The GICS materials sector encompasses a wide range of commodity-related manufacturing industries. 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 one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund's investment objective. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund adopts a binding and significant ESG optimisation approach to sustainable investing.
