Goldman Sachs Paris-Aligned Climate World Equity UCITS ETF - USD ACC ETF

The Sub-Fund is passively managed and seeks to provide capital growth over the longer term and aims to achieve investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the Solactive ISS ESG Developed Markets Paris-Aligned Benchmark USD Index NTR (the 'Index'). The Fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics and, while it does not have a sustainable investment objective, it will hold a minimum proportion of sustainable investments as further detailed in the pre contractual disclosure for the Fund contained within the Prospectus. The Index is designed to deliver exposure to a sub-set of equity securities issued by developed market companies within the Solactive GBS Developed Markets Large & Mid Cap Index PR (the 'Parent Index'), which are selected and weighted in such a manner that the resulting Index portfolio's Green House Gas emissions are aligned with the long-term global warming target of the Paris Climate Agreement, including only companies operating in accordance with market standards for responsible business conduct. Those standards are based on established norms such as the United Nations Global Compact Principles ('UNGC') and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the exclusion of significant involvement in defined sectors such as controversial weapons. The Index also excludes companies that generate significant revenues from certain activities including tobacco, coal, and fossil fuels. The Index seeks to exclude companies that are generating significant revenues from business practices linked to: coal mining and power generation, fossil fuel production, exploration, distribution, and services, electric power generation from fossil fuel sources as well as those with a significant negative impact on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Sub-Fund aims to replicate the index by holding all of its securities in a similar proportion to their weightings in the Index. The Sub-Fund may use derivative instruments for efficient portfolio management purposes, to help manage risks and for investment purposes in order to seek to increase return.
