Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 25.8% of the portfolio.
Income is accumulated: no distribution is paid out, the share price absorbs it. In a savings plan this removes the need to reinvest dividends by hand. The fund is denominated in GBP 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.
Irish domicile lets the fund apply the Ireland–US tax treaty, with 15% withholding instead of 30% on US dividends received by the fund.
