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 S&P 500 Capped 35/20 Energy Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Share Class, via the Fund, invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the benchmark index. The benchmark index measures the performance of stocks from the S&P 500 Index which are within the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) energy sector. The S&P 500 measures the performance of 500 stocks from top US companies in leading industries of the US economy which meet S&P’s size, liquidity and free-float criteria. The GICS energy sector comprises companies which businesses are dominated by any of the following activities: The construction or provision of oil rigs, drilling equipment and other energy related service and equipment, companies engaged in the exploration, production, marketing, refining and/or transportation of oil and gas products. The benchmark index may not include and/or may not be limited to every category comprising the sector listed here. Companies are included in the benchmark index on a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted basis. Free float-adjusted means that only shares available to international investors, rather than all of a company’s issued shares, are used to calculate the benchmark index.   The benchmark index caps the weight of the largest companies at each rebalance to ensure index diversification. The weight of the largest group entity in the benchmark index is capped at 33% and the remaining group entities at 19%. Your shares will be accumulating shares (i.e. income will be included in their value).
