The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve the net total return performance of the STOXX Europe 600 Index (the "Reference Index") less fees, expenses and transaction costs. The Reference Index is derived from the STOXX Europe Total Market Index (TMI) and a subset of the STOXX Europe Global 1800 Index. With a fixed number of 600 components, the Reference Index represents large, mid and small capitalisation companies across 18 countries of the European region: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The Reference Index has a free float market capitalisation subject to a 20% weighting cap.
