• The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Global All Cap Choice Index (the “Index”). • The Fund invests in a portfolio of global equity securities. • The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a representative sample of Index constituent securities. 2. The Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index representing the performance of large, mid, and small-cap stocks of companies located in markets around the world. Market-capitalisation is the value of a company’s outstanding shares in the market and shows the size of a company. The Index is constructed from the FTSE Global All Cap Index (the “Parent Index”) which is then screened for certain environmental, social, and corporate governance (the “ESG criteria”’) by the sponsor of the Index, which is independent of Vanguard. • The Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics by excluding companies from its portfolio based on the impact of their conduct or products on society and / or the environment. This is met by tracking the Index. • The Index excludes shares of companies that the sponsor of the Index determines to be engaged or involved in, and / or derive revenue (above a threshold specified by the Index provider) from, the following activities: Controversies, Non-renewable energy, Vice products and Weapons.
