Index Factsheet

MSCI World Equal Weighted Index (USD)

The MSCI World Equal Weighted Index represents an alternative weighting scheme to its market cap weighted parent index, the MSCI
World Index. The index includes the same constituents as its parent (large and mid cap securities from 23 Developed Markets countries*).
However, at each quarterly rebalance date, all index constituents are weighted equally, effectively removing the influence of each
constituent’s current price (high or low). Between rebalances, index constituent weightings will fluctuate due to price performance.
For a complete description of the index methodology, please see Index methodology - MSCI.

over that time period had the index existed). There are frequently material differences between back-tested performance and actual results. Past performance -- whether actual
or back-tested -- is no indication or guarantee of future performance.

MSCI FACTOR BOX AND FaCS FRAMEWORK (Please refer to complete description of the MSCI FaCS methodology here)
MSCI FaCS is a standard method for evaluating and reporting the Factor characteristics of equity portfolios. MSCI FaCS consists
of Factor Groups (e.g. Value, Size, Momentum, Quality, Yield, and Volatility) that have been extensively documented in academic
literature and validated by MSCI Research as key drivers of risk and return in equity portfolios. These Factor Groups are constructed
by aggregating 16 factors (e.g. Book-to-Price, Earnings/Dividend Yields, LT Reversal, Leverage, Earnings Variability/Quality, Beta)
from the latest Barra global equity factor risk model, GEMLT, designed to make fund comparisons transparent and intuitive for use.
The MSCI Factor Box, which is powered by MSCI FaCS, provides a visualization designed to easily compare absolute exposures
of funds/indexes and their benchmarks along 6 Factor Groups that have historically demonstrated excess market returns over
the long run.
