Goldman Sachs Global Small Cap CORE® Equity Portfolio Base Shares (Close)/  LU0245329841  /

The Portfolio seeks to provide capital growth over the longer term. The Portfolio will mostly hold shares or similar instruments relating to companies anywhere in the world which have a market capital value no greater than the company with the largest market capital value in the S&P Developed Small Cap Index at the time the investment is made. The Portfolio may also invest in companies which do not meet this requirement. The Portfolio utilises the CORE strategy, a multi-factor proprietary model developed by Goldman Sachs which aims to forecast returns on securities. The Portfolio will not invest more than 33% of its assets in bonds issued by corporate or government entities, convertibles (securities that can be converted into other types of securities), money market instruments and non-share related instruments. The Portfolio may use derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes, to help manage risks and for investment purposes in order to seek to increase return. A derivative instrument is a contract between two or more parties whose value depends on the rise and fall of other underlying assets.
