Overview
Objective
The Sub-Fund is passively managed and seeks to provide capital growth over the longer term and aims to achieve investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive ISS ESG Developed Markets Paris-Aligned Index (the “Index”). The Sub-Fund aims to achieve its objective by replicating the index by holding all of its securities in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Index. These securities are stocks of companies either based in or earn most of their profits or revenues globally.
Risk Profile
- Counterparty risk – a party that the Portfolio transacts with may fail to meet its obligations which could cause losses.
- Custodian risk – Insolvency, breaches of duty of care or misconduct of a custodian or subcustodian responsible for the safekeeping of the Fund's assets can result in loss to the Fund.
- Derivatives risk – Derivative instruments are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying asset that they are based on. Certain derivatives may result in losses greater than the amount originally invested.
- Emerging markets risk – emerging markets are likely to bear higher risk due to lower liquidity and possible lack of adequate financial, legal, social, political and economic structures, protection and stability as well as uncertain tax positions.
- Exchange rate risk – Changes in exchange rates may reduce or increase the returns an investor might expect to receive independent of the performance of such assets. If applicable, investment techniques used to attempt to reduce the risk of currency movements (hedging), may not be effective. Hedging also involves additional risks associated with derivatives.
- Index tracking error risk – The performance of the Portfolio may not generally follow and may be very different from the performance of the Index. The anticipated tracking error has been calculated using historical data and therefore may not capture all factors that will impact a Portfolio's actual performance against its reference index.
- Liquidity risk – The Fund may not always find another party willing to purchase an asset that the Fund wants to sell which could impact the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests on demand.
- Market risk – The value of assets in the Fund is typically dictated by a number of factors, including the confidence levels of the market in which they are traded.
- Operational risk – Material losses to the Fund may arise as a result of human error, system and/or process failures, inadequate procedures or controls.
- Risks associated with investments in China – The Portfolio's operations and financial results could be adversely affected by adjustments in the PRC's state plans, political, economic and social conditions, changes in the policies of the PRC government and laws and regulations, in particular where investments are made through any of the investment regime introduced by the PR.
