This fund offers targeted exposure to the equity markets of developed Asia-Pacific nations, deliberately excluding Japan. This strategy allows investors to participate in the economic growth and corporate performance of key markets such as Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. By isolating these economies from Japan, the portfolio provides a distinct risk-return profile, focusing on countries with different industrial structures and growth catalysts. It serves as a precise tool for those wanting to gain access to the region's dynamism without the influence of the Japanese market, which often dominates broader regional indices.

The investment vehicle is designed to track a market-capitalisation-weighted index composed of large and mid-sized companies. This ensures a diversified portfolio that is representative of the most significant and liquid firms across the target countries. The holdings are spread across various sectors, including a significant allocation to financials, materials, and real estate, reflecting the economic composition of these developed Pacific markets. The fund employs a physical replication methodology, meaning it directly owns the underlying shares of the companies in the index, which enhances transparency for the end investor.

This product is well-suited for investors seeking to diversify their global equity holdings with a specific allocation to the developed Pacific. It can function as a core component for regional exposure or as a tactical satellite holding to complement an existing portfolio that may already have substantial exposure to Japan. The fund offers a low-cost, efficient method to invest in a basket of established companies operating in some of the world's most advanced and stable economies.
