Replication is physical: the fund holds the underlying securities directly. The ten largest positions account for 25.5% 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.
The fund is domiciled in Ireland, which determines the tax treatment of income received by the fund and the supervisory authority.
