The aim is for the investment to reflect the performance of the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Developed Europe Ex UK Capped Net Index which is designed to reflect the performance of the shares of certain property companies (including real estate investment trusts) listed in European developed countries, excluding the United Kingdom. The weighting of a company on the Index depends on its size, based on the combined value of a company’s shares compared to other companies. The Index is calculated on a total return net basis which means that all dividends and distributions are reinvested in the Index after tax. The Fund will attempt to replicate or track the Index, before fees and expenses, by buying all, or a substantial number, of the shares in the Index in the same proportion as the Index as determined by the Sub-Portfolio Manager of the Fund which is Deutsche Asset Management (UK) Limited. The Fund may employ techniques and instruments in order to manage risk, reduce costs and improve results.
