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.
