Global Equity Market Weights (50:50) Index Fund

Fund aim

The investment objective of the fund is to provide diversified exposure to UK and overseas equity markets. A 50/50 distribution between UK and overseas assets is maintained with the overseas allocation mirroring that of the FTSE World (ex UK) Index.

Fund characteristics

The fund achieves its objectives by investing in the following LGIM index tracking funds: UK Equity Index Fund and World (ex UK) Equity Index Fund. The underlying funds employ an index tracking strategy, aiming to replicate the performance of their individual benchmarks. We follow a pragmatic approach to managing index funds, either investing directly in the securities of that index, or indirectly through other LGIM funds. The funds may also hold index and single stock futures for efficient portfolio management.
