iShares MSCI EMU USD H.U.E.A/  IE00BWZN1T31  /

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 EMU 100% Hedged to USD Index, the Fund's benchmark index (Index). The Index provides a return on the MSCI EMU Index which measures the performance of equity securities (e.g. shares) of large and mid capitalisation companies across developed market countries in the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) according to the MSCI size, liquidity and free float criteria. Securities that are liquid means that they can easily be bought or sold in the market in normal market conditions. The Index is free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted (i.e. the share price of a company multiplied by the number of shares available to international investors). The Index also uses (FX) forward contracts to hedge each non-US Dollar (USD) currency in the Index back to USD, the base currency of the Fund. Hedging reduces the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rates between the currencies of the equity securities that make up the Index and USD. The investment manager may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) to help achieve the Fund's investment objectives. FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes.
