2 The ACWI refers to the MSCI All Country World Index and is calculated using 50% of the index measured in Sterling and 50% measured in a Sterling hedged ACWI. The Sterling hedged ACWI is used as it incorporates hedging costs, which the portfolio also incurs, to protect against currency risk. It is applied from 1 January 2015 (from when it is readily available), and prior to this date it uses the index measured in local currencies. Before December 1998, when total return indices were introduced, the index is measured using a capital-only version
