Multi Manager Access - EMU Equities - F GBP ACC H

This sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics and complies with article 8 SFDR. Information related to environmental and/or social characteristics is available in Annex IV to this document (SFDR RTS Art. 14(2)). With respect to the investment policy outlined above, this actively managed sub-fund shall invest at least 70% of its net assets in equities and equity rights issued by companies which are domiciled or are chiefly active in the European Monetary Union ('EMU') (sometimes also referred to as the Eurozone). The sub-fund is actively managed and as such does not seek to replicate its Reference Benchmark Index, MSCI EMU Net Total Return EUR Index. The Reference Benchmark Index of the sub-fund is not intended to be consistent with the ESG characteristics promoted by the sub-fund. The majority of the equity investments held by the sub-fund will be components of the Reference Benchmark Index. The investment policy does not restrict the weightings of the equity investments relative to the Reference Benchmark Index, meaning the portfolio composition of the sub-fund may deviate significantly from the Reference Benchmark Index. The Portfolio Managers may use their discretion to invest in companies not included in the Reference Benchmark Index in order to take advantage of specific investment opportunities. Therefore, the performance of the sub-fund may strongly diverge from the performance of the Reference Benchmark Index during periods of higher market volatility.
