ESG & sustainability
The Fund is classified as Article 6 under the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”). Article 6 funds don't promote ESG characteristics or have a specific sustainable investment objective. Furthermore, investments within this Fund do not take into account the EU Taxonomy criteria for environmentally sustainable economic activities. This is a passively managed fund and aims to track the performance of a specified index by holding a portfolio of all or similar securities held in the index itself. The underlying index that this fund tracks is not an ESG aligned index and does not incorporate ESG criteria when considering companies for inclusion in the index itself. As such this Fund does not incorporate Environmental, Social or Governance (ESG) considerations into the investment strategy, nor are there any specific ESG screens applied for investments to be eligible for inclusion in the fund. Vanguard Asset Management (Europe), the investment manager of the Fund, believe that active stewardship helps to create long-term value for investors. As an investment product and service provider and distributor, Vanguard Europe has a responsibility to maximise long-term returns for investors and considers sustainability risks from a financial-impact perspective. Vanguard Europe fulfils its responsibility to investors by being judicious in the funds it offers, managing those funds with rigour and assessing material risks to long-term financial performance.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Tracker.
The Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund invests fully in the Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund, which holds global developed-market equities. It seeks to track the MSCI World Index by holding all or similar securities to those in the index. The fund therefore gives exposure to large and mid-cap shares across 23 developed markets.
The Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund aims to generate long-term capital growth by closely tracking the MSCI World Index. Because it is passively managed, its goal is to mirror the index rather than try to outperform it. Income received by the fund is reinvested, so it is reflected in the unit price rather than paid out separately.
The Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund is heavily exposed to large global companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon. Its sector exposure includes Information Technology, Financials, Industrials and Health Care among others. This means performance will be influenced by how these big global shares and sectors move.
The main risks of the Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund include equity risk, currency risk, index tracking risk and liquidity risk. Equity risk means share prices can fall as well as rise. Currency risk means changes in exchange rates can affect returns when the fund holds overseas shares. Index tracking risk means the fund may not perfectly match the MSCI World Index.
Yes. The Standard Life Vanguard Global Stock Index Fund and its holdings may use derivatives for efficient portfolio management, to reduce risk, or to help meet the investment objective; derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends on another asset, so they can add complexity and risk. The fund may also use securities lending to seek extra return and offset costs, which can introduce counterparty risk, meaning a borrower may fail to meet its obligations.
