Performance data for the Irish domiciled funds is displayed on a Net Asset Value basis, in Base Currency terms, with net income reinvested, net of fees. Brokerage or transaction fees will apply. Performance data for the Dutch domiciled ETFs include income distributions gross of Dutch withholding tax, net of fees and assume that the Dutch dividend withholding tax levied from the dividend payment of the ETF will be deducted or reclaimed with the Dutch tax authority and is reinvested.

Brokerage or transaction fees will apply. The Dutch domiciled ETFs use a gross reinvestment index.
