iShares MSCI World ex-USA UCITS ETF USD (Acc)

The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the MSCI World ex USA Index, the Fund's benchmark index ("Index"). The Share Class, via the Fund, is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of large and mid-capitalisation stocks across developed market countries excluding the United States which comply with MSCI's size, liquidity, and free-float criteria. The Index is market capitalisation weighted and rebalances on a quarterly basis. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar portions 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 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. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of your investment. The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see "How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?"). The depositary of the Fund is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited.
