The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the MSCI AC Far East ex Japan 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 large and mid-cap companies from both developed and, emerging market countries in the Far East (excluding Japan), as determined by the Index Provider. Some of the markets in which the issuers are based are considered to be emerging markets and accordingly, are subject to the risks described in the Investment Risks section below. The Fund may invest in China A Shares: (a) via the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and/or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (subject to applicable quota limitations); or (b) indirectly through CAAP; or (c) through Eligible Collective Investment Schemes.
