The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance of European small capitalisation equities with a higher weighting applied to equities exhibiting low valuation characteristics. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the MSCI Europe Small Cap Value Weighted Index (the Index) as closely as possible. The Fund invests primarily in securities included in the Index. These securities include smaller sized European companies based on the traditional market capitalisation weighted parent index, the MSCI Europe Small Cap Index. The Fund will use an optimisation strategy to build a representative portfolio which should reflect the performance of the Index.
