Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund seeks to achieve its objective by tracking the performance of the MSCI Japan Net TR Index (AUD) (referred to as the Index). We believe that an optimisation investment strategy is the most appropriate investment strategy to track the performance of the Index as it takes into account liquidity and transaction cost impact and overall risk relative to the Index. Optimisation is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to that of the Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalisation and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Index. Therefore, the securities to which each Fund is exposed may or may not include all of the securities in its Index and the weighting of such securities may differ to the weighting of securities in the Index. The Fund will implement its optimisation investment strategy through an investment in a US domiciled version of the Fund, also called iShares MSCI Japan ETF (referred to as the Underlying Fund). Refer to the section of the PDS titled "The Underlying Funds for further information on the Underlying Fund. What does the Fund invest in?The Fund will generally be exposed to the Japanese equity securities that form the Index and to depositary receipts representing securities of the Index. The Fund may have limited exposure to securities that are not constituents of the Index, including derivatives, where such securities provide similar performance (with matching risk profile) to Index securities. However, from time to time the Fund may be exposed to all constituents of the Index. The Fund will obtain exposure to the aforementioned securities indirectly, by investing in the Underlying Fund, which invests in such securities. Generally, the Fund and Underlying Fund may also be exposed to a small allocation of cash (or cash equivalents, that may include other BlackRock Group funds) for cash flow management purposes. About the IndexThe Index is designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid- capitalisation segments of the Japanese market. The Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalisation weighted index, based on the GIMI Methodology, which provides a comprehensive and consistent approach to index construction that allows for meaningful global views and cross regional comparisons across all market capitalisation size, sector and style segments and combinations. This methodology aims to provide exhaustive coverage of the relevant investment opportunity set with a strong emphasis on index liquidity, investability and replicability.
