The underlying index for this investment vehicle, the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Low Carbon SRI Selection Capped Index, is designed to mirror the performance of major and medium-sized corporations across Asian markets, excluding Japan. These companies are specifically selected for their robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credentials and their comparatively lower carbon intensity when measured against industry peers. The index applies a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighting scheme, and its composition is rigorously re-evaluated and rebalanced every quarter.
