Concentration Risk: The fund’s portfolio complies with the UCITS requirements on spread of investment. Having said that, application
of the investment criteria described above significantly limits the number of potential investments: the fund generally invests in 20 to

on the price of the fund.
Standing Data Operational Risk: Failures or delays in operational processes may negatively affect the fund.
Sustainability risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that environmental, social or governance conditions or events may occur that may

" Active Share measures how much the portfolio holdings differ from the benchmark index (MSCI World) i.e. a portfolio that is identical to the benchmark
would have 0% active share.

* The OCF (Ongoing Charges Figure) is the total expenses paid by the fund (excluding bank overdraft interest), annualised, against its average net asset
value. The OCF will fluctuate as the average net assets and costs change. The OCF is updated following the publication of accounts for the periods ending
30th June and 31st December. The fees and charges paid by the Fund will reduce the return on your investment. Certain costs paid by the fund will be
charged in Euros and exchange rate fluctuations may cause these costs to increase or decrease when converted into your local currency.

# The PTR (Portfolio Turnover Ratio) has been calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down by the CSSF. This compares the total share
purchases and sales less total creations and liquidations with the average net asset value of the fund.

> 7 Day Fund Liquidity is calculated based upon 30% of trailing 20 day average volume.

< Gross Yield reflects the historic dividend income received by the fund in the preceding 12 months before the deduction of all expenses including
management fees. Net yield is Gross Yield less the deduction of all expenses including management fees i.e. Gross Yield less the OCF. In both cases we use
T Class Shares as reference. Please note that rates would vary for I Class and R Class shares. Additional fund expenses will further reduce the yield received.
