Do you want to invest in small company stocks in developed markets with a return close to the MSCI World Small Cap Index? This is possible with the Zwitserleven Vanguard Small Cap Fund. This fund is not available to everyone. Your pension regulations state whether you can invest in them.
What does the fund invest in?
The Zwitserleven Vanguard Small Cap Fund invests in Vanguard Global Small-Cap Index Fund. As a result, the investment policy is the same. This policy is described in the Prospectus Vanguard Investment Series PLC at the bottom of this page. Vanguard Global Small-Cap Index Fund (ISIN IE00B42W4L06) has been specially selected for the Zwitserleven Vanguard Small Cap Fund. Zwitserleven can also select similar funds from other asset managers. Then the fund will be replaced by one or more similar funds and the name of the fund will be adjusted accordingly. The Zwitserleven Vanguard Small Cap Fund may temporarily maintain a cash position.
What is the investment objective?
The investment objective of the Zwitserleven Vanguard Small Cap Fund is the same as that of Vanguard Global Small-Cap Index Fund. This fund seeks to achieve long-term returns by seeking to track the performance of the MSCI World Small Cap Index by investing, to the extent possible and practicable, in the same proportion as the Index in all the securities that make up the Index. The Index consists of shares of small companies in developed markets. The fund may temporarily maintain a cash position.
How does the fund invest?
The fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach. This means that the fund manager does not choose the investments himself and follows an index in order to keep the fund costs as low as possible.
What fund costs are charged?
The fund costs that are charged consist of:
- Ongoing Charges Figure, which is settled daily in the price of a fund. The expected Ongoing Charges Figure is 0.29% per annum.
- Management fees that are deducted from the investment value on a monthly basis. Information about management costs can be found in your pension regulations.
