Indexed European (Ex-UK) Property
The Indexed European (Ex-UK) Property Fund is a unit-linked fund that gives you the opportunity to participate in the performance of some of Europe's leading real estate companies. The fund currently invests in an iShares Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) managed by BlackRock. The iShares ETF is passively managed and aims to track an index, but may not track it exactly. Zurich Life reserves the right to replace this ETF with another fund at any stage. This fund invests some of its assets outside the eurozone so a currency risk arises for a euro investor. The unit-linked fund can have exposure to cash as part of the management of the fund.
Main features
- Indicative equity exposure: 100% of the value of the fund.
- Opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of listed European (ex UK) property companies with higher than average dividend yields.
- Risk rating: 7
- SFDR Class: Article 6
How it works
The fund objective is to provide investors with exposure to the European (ex UK) real estate sector. The fund currently invests in an iShares Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) managed by BlackRock.
Zurich Life reserves the right to replace this ETF with another fund at any stage.
The Index covers property companies and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that pay a higher percentage of their profits as income. The index covers companies listed in developed European countries (except for the UK). This fund invests some of its assets outside the eurozone so a currency risk arises for a euro investor.
