iShares World Equity Index Fund (LU) Class A2 EUR/  LU2504564761  /

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 World Index, the Fund's benchmark index. The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest as far as possible and practicable in the equity securities (e.g. shares) that make up the Index. The benchmark index measures the performance of equity securities issued by large and mid capitalisation companies in developed countries globally and is a free float -adjusted market capitalisation weighted index. Free float-adjusted means that only shares readily available in the market rather than all of a company's issued shares are used in calculating the benchmark index. Market capitalisation is the share price of the company multiplied by the number of shares issued. The Fund intends to replicate the benchmark index by holding the equity securities, which make up the benchmark index, in similar proportions to it. The investment manager may also, in limited circumstances, use financial derivative instruments (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Fund may engage in short term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties. This is used as a means of generating additional income and to off-set the costs of the Fund.
