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 equity market in the United States. The Fund is passively managed and will invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) listed and traded on regulated markets in the United States as well as financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets) including exchange traded S&P 500 futures contracts. A futures contract is a contract whereby the Fund agrees to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price in the future. Cash may be held by the Fund for the purpose of providing cover for the exposure created by FDIs. The return of the Fund will be compared with the return on an index which will initially be the S&P 500 Index (with net dividends), the Fund's benchmark index. The benchmark index measures the performance of equity securities of leading companies listed in the United States. The components of the benchmark index are weighted by market capitalisation. Market capitalisation, in this case, is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares readily available in the market. The Fund uses techniques to achieve a similar return to its benchmark index. These techniques may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the benchmark index and the use of FDIs.
