iShares Developed World Screened Index Fund (IE) D Acc EUR

The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the developed world equity markets excluding companies that are involved in or generate a majority of their revenue and income from activities that may have a detrimental impact from the environmental, social and governance (ESG) perspective The Fund is passively managed and aims to invest in equity securities (e.g. shares) that, so far as possible and practicable, make up the MSCI World Screened Index (the “Index”). The Fund’s investments will, at the time of purchase, comply with the ESG requirements of the Index. The Fund may hold securities which do not comply with the ESG requirements of the Index until such time as the relevant securities cease to form part of the Index and it is possible and practicable (in the investment manager's view) to liquidate the position. The Index measures the performance of a sub-set of equity securities within the MSCI World Index (the Parent Index) which excludes issuers from the Parent Index based on the index provider’s ESG exclusionary criteria. For further details please refer to the prospectus. The remaining securities are then weighted by their free-float adjusted market capitalisation. Free floatadjusted means that only shares readily available in the market rather than all of a company’s issued shares are used in calculating the Index. Free float-adjusted market capitalisation is the share price of a company multiplied by the number of shares readily available in the market. The Index also excludes issuers which are identified by the index provider as being involved in controversies that have a negative ESG impact based on an MSCI ESG controversy score set by the index provider. The Parent Index measures the performance of large and mid-capitalisation shares across developed countries which comply with the index provider’s size, liquidity and free-float criteria. The Fund adopts a binding and significant ESG integration approach to sustainable investing i.e. the Fund will integrate ESG information into investment processes to achieve a weighted average environmental rating of the Fund at least 20% better as compared to the Parent Index. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties. This is used as a means of generating additional income and to off-set the costs of the Fund. The price of equity securities fluctuates daily and may be influenced by factors affecting the performance of the individual companies issuing the equities, as well as by daily stock market movements, and broader economic and political developments which in turn may affect the value of your investment. The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”). The depositary of the Fund is J.P. Morgan SE – Dublin Branch.

These can be found, along with other (practical) information, including prices of units, on the BlackRock website at: www.blackrock.com or the iShares website at: www.ishares.com or by calling the International Investor Servicing team on +353 1612 3394. Your units will be accumulating units (i.e. dividend income will be included in their value). The Fund’s base currency is US Dollar. Units for this class are bought and sold in Euro. The performance of your units may be affected by this currency difference. Your units will be “hedged” with the aim of reducing the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between their denominated currency and the Fund’s underlying portfolio currencies. FDIs, including FX forward contracts, will be used for currency hedging purposes. The hedging strategy may not completely eliminate currency risk and, therefore, may affect the performance of your units. You can buy and sell your units daily. The minimum initial investment for this unit class is €1,000,000.
