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 Dow Jones Emerging Markets Select Dividend Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed and aims to invest in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of 100 leading stocks by dividend yield of companies in emerging markets that meet specific criteria. The Index includes all companies in the relevant Dow Jones Emerging Markets Total Stock Market Specialty Index which, at the time of inclusion, meet the index provider's criteria for dividend payment, dividend yield, earnings per share, size and liquidity. The Index is rebalanced annually and is weighted according to a combination of dividend yield and market capitalisation. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. In order to gain exposure to certain securities in emerging markets that make up its Index, the Fund may invest in American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). ADRs and GDRs are investments issued by financial institutions which give exposure to underlying equity securities.
