The investment objective of this Fund is to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the return of the FTSE 100 Index. In order to achieve this investment objective, the investment policy of the Fund is to invest in a portfolio of equity securities that as far as possible and practicable consist of the component securities of the FTSE 100 Index, this Fund’s Benchmark Index. The Fund intends to replicate the constituents of the Benchmark Index by holding all the securities comprising the Benchmark Index in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Benchmark Index.
