iShares Europe ex-UK Index Fund (IE)

Equity

iShares Europe ex-UK Index Fund (IE)

Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund 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 equity market in Europe, apart from the United Kingdom. The Fund invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) listed and traded on regulated markets in Europe excluding the United Kingdom. The return of the Fund will be compared with the return on an index which will initially be the MSCI Europe ex-UK Index (with net dividends), the Fund’s benchmark index.
Important Information: Capital at Risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The fund invests a large portion of assets which are denominated in other currencies; hence changes in the relevant exchange rate will affect the value of the investment. The Fund may be exposed to finance sector companies, as a service provider or as counterparty for financial contracts. Liquidity in the financial markets has been severely restricted, causing a number of firms to withdrawn from the market, or in some extreme cases, becoming insolvent. This may have an adverse affect on the activities of the fund.
