Supplement to Prospectus

There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund will actually be achieved.

The Underlying Securities are listed or traded on markets and exchanges which are set out at Appendix I of the Prospectus, with the Underlying Securities being bought by the Fund from any broker or counterparty who trades on the markets and exchanges listed at Appendix I of the Prospectus.

As further described in the ‘Efficient Portfolio Management and Financial Derivative Instruments’ section below and in the Prospectus, the Fund may also invest in securities which are not constituents of the Reference Index and/or financial derivative instruments (“FDIs”) related to a constituent or constituents of the Reference Index, for efficient portfolio management purposes, where such securities and/or FDIs would achieve a risk and return profile similar to that of the Reference Index, a constituent of the Reference Index or a sub-set of constituents of the Reference Index.

The Fund may invest in ancillary liquid assets which will include secured and/or unsecured deposits, and/or units or shares of other UCITS or other collective investment schemes which pursue a money market/cash strategy or which are related to the Reference Index or constituents of the Reference Index.

The investments and liquid assets the Fund may hold on an ancillary basis will, together with any fees and expenses, be valued by the Administrator on each Valuation Day in order to determine the Net Asset Value of the Fund in accordance with the rules set out in the Prospectus.

The value of the Fund’s Shares is linked to the Reference Index (and, for Currency Hedged Share Classes, the relevant hedging arrangement, as described under “Share Class Currency Hedging Methodology“), the performance of which may rise or fall. Hence, investors should note that the value of their investment could fall as well as rise and they should accept that there is no guarantee that they will recover their initial investment. The return that the Shareholder may receive will be dependent on the performance of the Reference Index.

The Fund will have no Final Repurchase Date. However, the Directors may decide to terminate the Fund in accordance with the terms set out in the Prospectus and/or the Articles of Association.

Share Class Hedging

The “2C – EUR Hedged” Share Class (“Currency Hedged Share Class“, as indicated under Description of the Shares below) is subject to currency hedging.

The Fund will seek to hedge against the currency exposures of the Underlying Securities in the portfolio which differ from the currency of the respective Currency Hedged Share Class in accordance with the “Currency Hedging Methodology” set out in the Prospectus.

Investors should note that the Currency Hedged Share Classes will not completely eliminate currency risk, or provide a precise hedge, and as such, investors may have exposures to currencies other than the currency of the Currency Hedged Share Class.

Efficient Portfolio Management and Financial Derivative Instruments

The Fund may employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities under the conditions and within the limits laid down by the Central Bank from time to time and the conditions set out in the Prospectus and this Supplement for efficient portfolio management purposes.

The Fund may also invest in FDIs subject to the conditions and limits laid down by the Central Bank for efficient portfolio management purposes and as described in the Prospectus. For details of any FDIs the Fund may use, please refer to the section entitled “Use of Derivatives by Direct Investment Funds” set out in the Prospectus.

The Company employs a risk management process which enables it to accurately measure, monitor and manage at any time the risks attached to the Fund’s FDI positions and their contribution to the overall risk profile of the portfolio of assets of a Fund. The Company will, on request, provide supplementary information to Shareholders relating to the risk management methods employed, including the quantitative limits that are applied and any recent developments in the risk and yield characteristics of the main categories of investments in respect of the relevant Fund.

Calculation of Global Exposure

The Fund will employ the commitment approach to assess the Fund’s global exposure and to ensure that the Fund’s use of derivative instruments is within the limits specified by the Central Bank. Global exposure will be calculated daily. While the Fund may be leveraged through the use of the FDIs, any such leverage will not be in excess of 100% of the Fund’s Net Asset Value.

Investment Restrictions

The general investment restrictions set out under “Investment Restrictions” in the Prospectus apply to the Fund.

Owing to the concentrated nature of the Reference Index, in exceptional market circumstances, the Fund intends to make use of the increased risk diversification limit of 35% for a single issuer permitted by the Central Bank, as further set out in sections “Index Tracking UCITS” and “Financial Derivative Instruments (FDIs)” of the Prospectus and “Concentration of the Reference Index” below.

The Directors may from time to time impose such further investment restrictions as shall be compatible with or in the interests of Shareholders, in order to comply with the laws and regulations of the countries where Shareholders are located. Such investment restrictions will be included in an updated Supplement.

The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its assets in units or shares of other UCITS or other collective investment schemes in order to be eligible for investment by UCITS governed by the UCITS directive.

Borrowing

The Company may only borrow, for the account of the Fund, up to 10% of the Net Asset Value of the Fund provided that such borrowing is for temporary purposes. The assets of the Fund may be charged as security for any such borrowings.

Specific Risk Warning

Investors should note that the Fund is not capital protected or guaranteed and that the capital invested is not protected or guaranteed and investors in this Fund should be prepared and able to sustain losses up to the total capital invested.

Concentration of the Reference Index

The Reference Index is concentrated in securities from a single country. As a result, any country-specific political or economic changes may have an adverse impact on the performance of the Reference Index and the portfolio of transferable securities and eligible assets held by the Fund.

Currency Hedging Risk

In order to mitigate against the risk of movements in the currency of a Currency Hedged Share Class against the currency of the portfolio constituents (where they are different to that of the relevant Currency Hedged Share Class currency), Share Class specific derivative transactions will be entered into for the purposes of acquiring currency hedges for each Currency Hedged Share Class. The return of the Share Class specific derivative transactions may not perfectly offset the actual fluctuations between the Currency Hedged Share Class currency and currency exposures of the securities that constitute the portion of the portfolio referable to the Currency Hedged Share Classes. No assurance can be given that such hedging activities will be entirely effective in achieving the purpose for which they have been entered into. While currency hedging reduces risks and losses in adverse market circumstances, it can also reduce and may completely offset gains in market circumstances that would otherwise have been beneficial had the position not been hedged. Consequently, the performance of a Currency Hedged Share Class may differ from that of the Underlying Asset as a result of the foreign exchange hedging transactions.

Environmental, Social and Governance Standards

The Reference Index’s environmental, social and governance standards limit the number of securities eligible for inclusion in the Reference Index. As a result, the Reference Index, and as such the Fund, may be more heavily weighted in securities, industry sectors or countries that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for environmental, social and governance standards, or which do not screen for such standards.

Investors should note that the determination that the Fund is subject to the disclosure requirements of a financial product under Article 8(1) of SFDR is made solely on the basis that the Reference Index promotes environmental and social characteristics. The Company is relying on the activities conducted by and information provided by the Index Administrator or other data providers (as further described under the heading “General Description of the Underlying Asset”, where applicable) to make this determination. Neither the Company, nor any of its service providers, makes any representation or otherwise as to the suitability of the Reference Index and the Fund in meeting an investor’s criteria on minimum ESG standards or otherwise. Investors are advised to carry out their own review as to whether the Reference Index and the Fund accords with their own ESG criteria. Information on how the Reference Index is consistent with environmental, social and governance characteristics is contained under “General Description of the Underlying Asset”.

Investors should note that whilst the Fund and the Reference Index seek to ensure compliance with the criteria outlined under “General Description of the Underlying Asset” at each rebalance or review date, between these reviews or rebalances, securities which no longer meet these criteria may remain included in (i) the Reference Index until they are removed at the subsequent rebalance or review or, (ii) the portfolio of the Fund until it is possible and practicable to divest such positions.

Sustainability Data Risks

Investors should note that the Reference Index solely relies on analysis from the Index Administrator or other data providers (as applicable) in relation to sustainability considerations. Neither the Company, nor any of its service providers, makes any representation with respect to the accuracy, reliability, correctness of the sustainability related data or the way that these are implemented.

It should also be noted that analysis of companies’ ESG performance may be based on models, estimates and assumptions. This analysis should not be taken as an indication or guarantee of current or future performance.

ESG information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. As a result, there is a risk that the Index Administrator or other data providers (as applicable) may incorrectly assess a security or issuer, resulting in the incorrect inclusion or exclusion of a security in the Reference Index and therefore the portfolio of the Fund.

Investors will also bear some other risks as described under the section “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

Profile of a Typical Investor

Prospective investors in the Fund should ensure that they understand fully the nature of the Fund, as well as the extent of their exposure to risks associated with an investment in the Fund and should consider the suitability of an investment in the Fund.

Investment in the Fund may be appropriate for investors who have knowledge of, and investment experience in this type of financial product and understand and can evaluate the strategy and characteristics in order to make an informed investment decision. Further, they may have free and available cash for investment purposes and are looking to gain exposure to the securities making up the Reference Index. As the Net Asset Value per Share of the Fund will fluctuate and may fall in value, investment in the Fund should be viewed as suitable for investors who seek a return over the medium to long term. However, prospective investors should be prepared and able to sustain losses up to the total amount of capital invested.

The Prospectus sets out statements on taxation regarding the law and practice in force in the relevant jurisdiction at the date of the Prospectus. The statements are by way of a general guide to potential investors and Shareholders only and do not constitute legal or tax advice to Shareholders or potential investors. Shareholders and potential investors are therefore advised to consult their professional advisers concerning any investment in the Fund particularly as the tax position of an investor and the rates of tax may change over time.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE UNDERLYING ASSET

This section is a brief overview of the Reference Index. It contains a summary of the principal features of the Reference Index and is not a complete description of the Reference Index. In case of inconsistency between the summary of the Reference Index in this section and the complete description of the Reference Index, the complete description of the Reference Index prevails. Information on the Reference Index appears on the website identified below in “Further Information”. Such information may change from time to time and details of the changes will appear on that website.

General description of the Reference Index

The Reference Index is based on the S&P 500 Index (the “Parent Index“), which is administered by S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Index Administrator“). The Parent Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted index reflecting the performance of circa 500 large-cap common stocks of publicly held companies actively traded on regulated US equities’ exchanges. The Reference Index seeks to target 75% of the float-adjusted market capitalization of each Global Industry Classification Standard Industry Group (“GICS® Industry Group“) within the Parent Index, after applying the exclusion criteria as set out below.

The Reference Index excludes companies from the Parent Index which do not fulfil specific ESG criteria, including but not limited to (please see link to the Reference Index’s methodology under the heading “Further Information” for additional detail):

• that do not have an S&P Global ESG Score, or with an S&P Global ESG Score that falls within the worst 25% of ESG scores from each GICS Industry Group, as calculated by S&P Global Sustainable1 (“Sustainable1“) using a company’s ‘Corporate Sustainability Assessment’ (“CSA“) which is derived using either company-provided data, publicly available information, or a combination thereof;

• are classified by S&P Global Business Involvement Screens as breaching certain thresholds in controversial activities, including, but not limited to, tobacco, controversial weapons, and thermal coal; and/or

• have a disqualifying United Nations Global Compact (“UNGC“) score (i.e. companies that do not act in accordance with the UNGC principles and their associated standards, conventions, and treaties as determined by Sustainalytics).

The Reference Index uses company ratings and research provided by Sustainable1, a business division of S&P Global which specialises in providing in-depth sustainability intelligence. In particular, the following two components are utilised:

S&P Global ESG Scores

S&P Global ESG Scores provide research and ratings measuring a company’s performance on and management of ESG risks and opportunities. S&P Global ESG Scores provide an overall company ESG rating. For more details on S&P Global ESG Scores, please refer to: Sustainable1 Solutions: ESG Scores | S&P Global (spglobal.com)

S&P Global Business Involvement Screens

S&P Global Business Involvement Screens aim to enable investors to align investment values with investment strategy by providing detailed assessments of common areas of concern pinpointing the level of involvement. For more details on S&P Global Business Involvement Screens, please refer to: Sustainable1 Solutions: Business Involvement Screens | S&P Global (spglobal.com)

Sustainalytics, a Morningstar company, is a leading independent ESG and corporate governance research, ratings and analytics firm that supports investors around the world with the development and implementation of responsible investment strategies. Companies without Sustainalytics coverage are ineligible for index inclusion until they receive such coverage. Please refer to http://www.sustainalytics.com/ for more information.

In addition, the Reference Index uses RepRisk, a leading data science company, for daily filtering, screening, and analysis of ESG risk incidents and controversial activities related to the companies which may result in further exclusions of companies from the Reference Index as determined by the Index Administrator. Please refer to http://www.reprisk.com/ for more information.

Once constituents have been excluded, for each GICS® Industry Group, companies are selected in decreasing order of S&P Global ESG Score until 65% of the Parent Index’s cumulative float-adjusted market capitalization (“FMC“) is reached. Then for each GICS® Industry Group, existing constituents ranked between 65% and 85% of a GICS® Industry Group’s cumulative FMC are selected to get as close as possible to the target 75% of FMC. If the combined FMC of selected companies is not above the 75% FMC target, companies not already selected from the eligible universe may be added, in decreasing order by S&P Global ESG Score, to get as close as possible to the 75% FMC target. This process ends when the addition of the next eligible company would result in the total FMC of the relevant GICS® Industry Group moving further away from the 75% FMC target.

The Reference Index is a total return net index. A total return net index calculates the performance of the index constituents on the basis that any dividends or distributions are reinvested in the index net of applicable withholding taxes.

The Reference Index is calculated in US Dollars on a real-time basis.

The Reference Index is rebalanced on an annual basis and may also be rebalanced at other times in order to reflect corporate activity such as mergers and acquisitions. Changes to the Reference Index are made as needed with no annual or semi-annual reconstitution.
