The MSCI EMU monthly GBP Hedged Index provides exposure to the MSCI Total Return Net EMU Index as adjusted by transactions whose aim is to reduce the effect of Euro/Pound sterling exchange rate fluctuations (currency hedging).

The Reference Index is designed to reflect the performance of the Underlying Index which is designed to reflect the performance of the stock markets of 10 countries within the European Economic and Monetary Union, namely, Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

The companies making up the Index are large and medium sized companies based on the combined value of a company’s readily available shares as compared to other companies. The Index aims to represent 85% of the readily available shares in each industry sector in the European market. A company’s weighting on the Index depends on its relative size. The Index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions by the companies are reinvested in the shares after tax. The Index is reviewed and rebalanced at least quarterly.
