Legal & General UCITS ETF Plc
(the "Company")
Notice to the shareholders of the L&G Europe Equity (Responsible Exclusions) UCITS ETF and the L&G US Equity (Responsible Exclusions) UCITS ETF (respectively, the "Shareholders", the "Sub-Funds")
The Company announces that a notification has been posted to the Shareholders informing them of certain changes that will be made by the index administrator, Foxberry Limited ("Foxberry"), to the benchmark indices of the Sub-Funds of the Company (the "Indices"):
|
ISIN |
Sub-Fund |
Index |
|
IE00BKLTRN76 |
L&G Europe Equity (Responsible Exclusions) UCITS ETF |
Foxberry Sustainability Consensus Europe Total Return Index |
|
IE00BKLWY790 |
L&G US Equity (Responsible Exclusions) UCITS ETF |
Foxberry Sustainability Consensus US Total Return Index |
The changes are anticipated to take effect on 17 June 2022.
Foxberry is amending the methodology for the Indices so that the Indices meet the requirements for EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks[1]. The updated methodologies for the Indices contain exclusions designed to meet or exceed the exclusions and decarbonisation trajectory of EU Paris-aligned Benchmarks. Further information in relation to the change is available at the Foxberry website at the following links: https://foxberry.com/governance/sustainability_committee/Foxberry_Sustainability_Committee.pdf; https://foxberry.com/governance/consultations/concluding_index_consultation_on_sustainability_consensus_paris_alignment.pdf; https://foxberry.com/governance/consultations/Sustainability_Committee_Paris_Alignment.pdf.
The costs of realignment will form part of the quarterly rebalance and, as such, will be paid out of the Sub-Funds.
It is not expected that the changes to the Indices will result in a change to the Synthetic Risk Reward Indicator ("SRRI") as reflected in the Key Investor Information Document of each Sub-Fund ("KIIDs") (the SRRI as reflected in the KIIDs will remain at 6).
A copy of the notification will be submitted to the National Storage Mechanism where it is available for inspection at: https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
