Ishares Iv Plc Digital Security UCITS ETF USD ACC (LOCK)

The Share Class is a share class of the 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 STOXX Global Digital Security Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund, invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of a subset of equity securities of companies within the STOXX Global Total Market Index (the “Parent Index”) which are engaged in providing cyber security focused solutions for the transmission, safeguarding and/or handling of sensitive data and/or access to data centers. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, companies must generate at least 50% of their revenue (45% for existing constituents of the Index) from one or multiple activities related to the digital security, as determined by the index provider (the “revenue filter”). The Index aims to have a minimum number of 80 constituents at each Index rebalance however if the application of the revenue filter results in there being fewer than 80 constituents in the Index, it is progressively lowered in steps of 5%, to a minimum of 30%, until the number of constituents is equal to or greater than 80. Companies in the Index must also meet the index provider’s criteria for market capitalization and trading volume and be domiciled in an eligible country which is also determined by the index provider.
