Fund profile

As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3

The Fund seeks to provide investment results approximating the overall performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (the Index).

Strategy · summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index using a replication strategy, holding substantially all securities in the index in approximately the same weightings, though it may optimize the portfolio to minimize tracking error and manage transaction costs when full replication is impracticable. Because the fund does not hold every security in the index or in identical proportions, its quarterly performance may diverge from the index. The fund includes exposure to China A-shares traded on mainland Chinese exchanges alongside depositary receipts and index futures.

May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
