db x-trackers MSCI EM EMEA Index UCITS ETF

XMXD Description

The aim is for the investment to reflect the performance of the MSCI Total Return Net Emerging Markets EMEA Index (Index) which is designed to reflect the performance of the listed shares of certain companies from European, Middle Eastern and African emerging markets, as classified by MSCI Inc. (MSCI) and as shown on the website of MSCI (www.msci.com/market-classification). The companies making up the Index are large and medium sized companies based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares as compared to other companies. A company’s weighting on the Index depends on its relative size. The Index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The Fund will invest in transferable securities and enter into financial contracts (derivatives) with one or more swap counterparties relating to the transferable securities and the Index.

SPMD

iShares VI PLC ISH SP500 MIN VOL ETF USD DIST

SPMD Description The fund is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund¡¯s assets, which reflects the return of the S&P 500 Minimum Volatility Index, the Fund¡¯s benchmark index. The Fund invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the benchmark index. The benchmark index aims to reflect the performance characteristics of a subset of securities within the S&P 500 Index (¡°Parent Index¡±) with the lowest absolute volatility of returns, subject to risk diversification. The constituents of the benchmark index are selected using a minimum volatility strategy which selects securities from the Parent Index based on estimates of the risk profile and expected volatility of each constituent and the correlation between all constituents in the Parent Index.
