iShares STOXX Europe Select Dividend 30 UCITS ETF (DE) (hereinafter the “Fund”) is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the performance of the STOXX ® Europe Select Dividend 30 (Price Index) as closely as possible. In this regard, it aims to replicate the benchmark. The index measures the performance of 30 leading stocks by dividend yield from the STOXX® Europe 600 Index that meet specific criteria. The index includes companies which, at the time of inclusion, have paid dividends in four out of five calendar years, have a non-negative dividend growth rate over the past five years, have a dividend to earnings-per-share ratio of 60% or less, and meet criteria for trading volume. The index is weighted according to net dividend yield with individual companies capped at 15%. The index is rebalanced annually and selections of components are subject to index rules that favour components within the index prior to its rebalance. In addition, the index is subject to quarterly and ongoing reviews that allow for the removal of a company, at the index provider's discretion, if it no longer complies with the original selection criteria. The Fund mostly invests in equities in order to achieve the investment objective. The proportion of assets in the Fund which matches the weighting of the underlying index (duplication percentage) is at least 95% of the Fund's assets. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs of the Fund. It is not the Investment Manager’s intention to leverage the Fund. However, the Fund may generate minimal amounts of leverage from time to time, for example, if using financial derivative instruments (FDIs) for efficient portfolio management purposes. Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 5 years. The units in the Fund are distributing units. Income from the Fund’s investments will be paid out at least once a year as a dividend. The Fund units are denominated in Euro. The units are listed on one or more Stock Exchange(s). Investors can buy or sell their units daily during business hours through an intermediary on such Stock Exchange(s).
