Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 62.9% of the portfolio.
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. That is not the same as currency risk: the exposure comes from the currencies of the underlying holdings, not from the denomination or the trading currency of a given listing.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
