Objectives and Approach

The Fund aims to track the performance of the S&P 500 (NUK) Index (before fees and expenses are applied) thereby seeking to increase the value of your investment over a period of 5 years or more. NUK means Net Total Return (WHT 15%). NUK is a customised index variant, designed and maintained by S&P, which aligns more closely with this Fund's withholding tax treatment. The performance of the Fund is unlikely to track the performance of the index precisely. Examples of tracking difference are explained in the Prospectus Notes below and the KIID. The Fund uses an `index tracking' (also known as `passive') investment management approach whereby it aims to replicate the composition of the index. However, for practical reasons and/or to reduce the dealing costs of the Fund, it may not invest in every company share in the index or at its weighting within the index. As well as investing directly in company shares, the Fund will achieve exposure indirectly through the use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes, for example, at the time of cash inflows to remain fully invested or to reduce transaction costs. In order to manage the cash position, the Fund may invest in collective investment schemes (such as liquidity Funds), including those managed by Fidelity, money market instruments, cash and deposits. Many funds sold in the UK are grouped into sectors by the Investment Association (the trade body that represents UK Investment Managers), to facilitate comparison between funds with broadly similar characteristics. This Fund is classified in the IA North America sector. Performance data on funds within this sector may be prepared and published by data providers and will be used when evaluating the performance of this Fund. The IA sector most closely reflects the combination of assets in the Fund. For taxation reasons the Fund's performance can also be compared to the S&P 500 (Net Total Return) Index or the S&P 500 (Gross total Return) Index.
