HSBC ETFS plc FTSE EPRA NAREIT Developed UCITS ETF (HPRO)

The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Index (the “Index”), while minimising as far as possible the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index. The Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index designed to measure the performance of the largest real estate companies of the world’s developed equity markets, including Canada, US, Australia, Hong Kong, China (via Red Chip shares traded on the Hong Kong Exchange), Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK, as defined by the Index Provider. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will aim to invest in securities included in the Index in generally the same proportions in which they are included in the Index.
