Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly.
Income is distributed periodically: it produces cash flow, but reinvesting it is up to you if the goal is capital growth. The fund is denominated in USD and is a currency-hedged share class: the hedge aims to neutralise the effect of the underlying currencies against the reference currency, at an implicit cost that varies with interest-rate differentials.
The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
