iShares Dow Jones Industrial Average UCITS ETF (DE) (hereinafter the “Fund”) is an exchange traded fund (ETF) that aims to track the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (Price Index) as closely as possible. In this regard, it aims to replicate the benchmark. The index measures the stock performance of 30 large U.S. companies, covering all industries except transportation and utilities. The index is maintained by the Dow Jones Averages Committee with components added and deleted on an as-needed basis. When one component is replaced, all of them are reviewed. While stock selection is not governed by quantitative rules, a stock is typically added only if the company has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth and is of interest to a large number of investors. Maintaining adequate sector representation within the index is also a consideration in the selection process. The index is price weighted, meaning its constituent weightings are affected only by changes in the stocks’ prices. 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 US Dollar. 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).
