The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the MSCI World Index (the Index), while minimising as far as possible the tracking error between the Funds performance and that of the Index. The Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index designed to measure the performance of large and mid cap companies of the worlds developed equity markets, as determined by the Index Provider. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will use optimisation techniques which take account of tracking error and trading costs when constructing a portfolio.
