ESG Screened Developed World All Cap Equity Index Fund (UK) - Institutional Plus GBP Inc (VAEIIPG)

• The Fund seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed All Cap Choice Index (the “Index”).
• The Fund is a passive fund which means it takes the form of tracking a specific index in order to replicate its performance.
• The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in all component shares of the Index in the same proportion as the Index. Where not practicable to fully replicate, the Fund will use a sampling process. 2. Remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
• The Index is constructed from the FTSE Developed All Cap Index (the "Parent Index"). The Parent Index is a market-capitalisation weighted index representing the performance of large, mid and small companies covering developed markets around the world. Market capitalisation is the value of a company's outstanding shares in the market and shows the size of a company. The Index methodology excludes shares of companies from the Parent Index where the Index provider determines that companies are engaged or involved in specific activities of the supply chain for, and / or derive revenue (above thresholds specified by the Index provider and set out in https://fund-docs.vanguard.com/Vanguard_ESG_Scr_Dev_World_All_Cap_Eq_Index_FundUK_Exclusions.pdf) from certain activities relating to the following activities: certain specified vice products, non-renewable energy and weapons. It also excludes shares of companies based on certain controversial conduct, which is achieved by excluding companies that meet certain criteria in relation to the United Nations Global Compact Principles regarding labour, human rights, environmental, and anti-corruption standards.
• Where the Index provider has insufficient or no data available to adequately assess a particular company relative to the Exclusion Criteria of the Index, such companies will be excluded from the Index until such time as they may be determined to be eligible by the Index provider.
• The Fund may use derivatives in order to reduce risk or cost and/or generate extra income or growth (known as “efficient portfolio management”). A derivative is a financial contract whose value is based on the value of a financial asset (such as a share, bond, or currency) or a market index. Derivatives on an index (e.g. swaps, futures) may contain some underlying constituents which may not meet the Exclusion Criteria.
• The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
