iShares MSCI EM UCITS ETF USD (Acc)/  IE00B4L5YC18  /

The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund's assets, which reflects the return of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The Index measures the performance of large and mid-cap sectors (i.e. companies with large and mid-market capitalisation) within the equity markets in emerging markets. Companies are included in the Index based on the proportion of their shares in issue that are available for purchase by international investors. Market capitalisation is the share price of a company multiplied by the number of shares available to international investors. The Fund intends to replicate the Index by holding the equity securities, which make up the Index, in similar proportions to it. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments ("FDIs") (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. In order to gain exposure to certain securities in emerging markets that make up its benchmark index, the Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and/or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). ADRs and GDRs are instruments issued by financial institutions which give exposure to underlying equity securities. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund.
