INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The fund aims to reflect the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI World Sector Neutral Quality (USD) Index (index). DESCRIPTION OF INDEX: The index is based on the MSCI World Index (Parent Index) which is designed to reflect the performance of certain shares in large and medium listed companies in developed markets countries. In order to be eligible for inclusion in the index, shares must be included as constituents within the Parent Index and are then selected using a quality strategy.

The characteristics focus on Return-on-equity (amount of income generated as a percentage of shareholders equity), leverage (which monitors the level of debt within the company), and earning variability (which monitors movements in a company's net earnings over a set time period). The quality strategy is run in conjunction with additional risk criteria applied, such as weighting based on a company's size.
