The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the FTSE Asia Pacific ex Japan ESG Low Carbon Select Index (the “Index”), while minimising as far as possible the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index. The Index is a subset of the FTSE Asia Pacific ex Japan Index (the “Parent Index”) and aims to measure the performance of companies in emerging and developed countries in Asia Pacific ex-Japan as defined by the Index Provider. As further detailed in the “Index Description” section of the Supplement, on an annual basis, the Index Provider applies sustainable exclusionary criteria and weights companies in order to reduce the exposure in the Index to companies with higher carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves and to improve the exposure in the Index to comply with favourable FTSE Russell environmental, social and governance ("ESG") ratings compared to that of the Parent Index.
