ROBO Global Robotics and Automation UCITS Index

The Index aims to track the performance of a basket of stocks of companies that are actively engaged in robotics and automation related activities.

The Index is comprised of companies which are publicly traded on various stock exchanges around the world that generate a material proportion of their revenues from the robotics and automation industry. The industry is deemed to be comprised of the following two subsectors: (1) Technology, which includes sensing, processing, computing and artificial intelligence, actuation, and integration; and (2) Applications, which includes manufacturing and industrial automation, 3D printing, logistics automation, food and agriculture, surveillance and security, energy, healthcare and consumer products.

A company is only eligible for inclusion in the Index if it is of a sufficient size (determined by reference to the total market value of its shares) and it is sufficiently "liquid" (a measure of how actively its shares are traded on a daily basis). Within the Index, companies are weighted according to a modified ROBO-factor weighting scheme. The Index is rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September and December.

ROBO Global ESG Policy

The Index excludes investments in companies that fail to adhere to the ROBO Global ESG Policy. Following critical observations, the Index provider excludes companies that it believes do significant harm to environmental, social, and governance objectives. Each issuer within the investment universe of the Index is evaluated for the following metrics: i) the ESG risks that companies are exposed to and the risks that their activities could result in principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors, ii) the alignment of companies with international norms and standards, including the UN Global Compact principles, iii) involvement in harmful activities such as weapons and arms, tobacco, thermal coal-related activities, unconventional and conventional oil and gas-related activities, power generation and animal testing, and iv) economic activities contributing to the theme.

The Index Provider evaluates ESG factors using a combination of internal research, regular interaction with index member companies, as well as support from leading ESG research providers to ensure they comply with all aspects of the ROBO Global ESG Policy. The data used to construct the index is sourced from external data providers.

Key risks

The value of an investment and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. You may not get back the amount you originally invested.

Past performance is not a guide to the future.

An investment in the ETF involves a significant degree of risk. Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the relevant prospectus. Prospective investors should obtain their own independent accounting, tax and legal advice and should consult their own professional advisers to ascertain the suitability of the ETF as an investment.

The value of the shares in the ETF is directly affected by increases and decreases in the value of the Index. Accordingly the value of a share in the ETF may go up or down and a shareholder may lose some or the entire amount invested.

The ETF's ability to closely track the Index will be affected by its ability to purchase and/or sell the Index constituents and any legal or regulatory restrictions or disruptions affecting them.

The ETF's ability to closely track the Index will also be affected by transaction costs and taxes incurred when adjusting its investment portfolio generally and/or to mirror any periodic adjustments to the constituents of the Index. There can be no certainty that ETF shares can always be bought or sold on a stock exchange or that the market price at which the ETF shares may be traded on a stock exchange will reflect the performance of the Index.

The ETF is subject to the risk that third party service providers (such as a bank entering into swaps with the ETF or the ETF's depositary) may go bankrupt or fail to pay money due to the ETF or return property belonging to the ETF.

As the Index includes micro, small and medium-sized publicly traded companies, the ETF is subject to the risk that such companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events and greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger companies or the stock market as a whole.

The ETF is subject to the risks associated with technology-focused companies that are particularly vulnerable to rapid developments in technology (which may leave their products out-of-date), government regulation and competition from domestic and foreign competitors who may have lower production costs. Such companies may also have difficulties establishing and maintaining patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets relating to their products which could negatively affect their value.

For more information, please refer to the key investor information document.
