The underlying index uses a screening process to exclude companies in sectors where R&D investments have historically had less impact on a company"s performance, and to identify companies that have exhibited a strong commitment for long term growth by reinvesting in R&D. The fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the investments included in its underlying index. The fund is non-diversified.
