The Fund aims to provide the performance of the MSCI Europe ex-UK Index1 (the Reference Index which is derived from the MSCI Global Investable Market Indices (GIMI) Methodology. The Reference Index provides a representation of the developed markets countries in Europe excluding the United Kingdom by targeting all companies with a market capitalisation within the top 85% of each country. The Fund does this through the use of unfunded swaps . These Swaps are an agreement between the Fund and an approved counterparty to exchange one stream of cash flows against another stream but do not require the Fund to provide collateral, on the basis the Fund has already invested in a basket of equities and equity related securities (namely shares). The performance of the Reference Index is swapped from the counterparty to the Fund in exchange for the performance of equities and equity related securities.
