HSBC FTSE 250 UCITS ETF

The investment objective of the Fund is to replicate the performance of the FTSE® 250 Index (the “Index”), while minimizing as far as possible the tracking error between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index. The Index is a market-capitalization weighted index comprised of mid-capitalized companies, not covered by the FTSE® 100 and represents approximately 13.22% of UK market capitalization. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will aim to invest in the constituents of the Index in generally the same proportions in which they are included in the Index.
