ACS Continental European Equity Tracker Fund

Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund is a sub-fund of BlackRock Authorised Contractual Scheme I taking the form of a co-ownership scheme. As a consequence of this, the Fund may be treated as tax transparent for the purpose of income and/or capital gains by relevant taxing jurisdictions. Each investor should take appropriate professional advice as to the tax treatment of their investment in the Fund. Investors in the Fund must be Eligible Investors as defined in the Fund’s prospectus and must have completed all relevant documentation prior to the purchase of units in the Fund. The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase to the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by tracking closely the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe ex UK Custom ESG Screened Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (the “Benchmark Index”). The Fund invests in equity securities (e.g. shares) of companies that make up the Benchmark Index.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
