The investment seeks to track the performance the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index. The index measures the investment return of stocks issued by companies located in emerging market countries. The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index. It invests by sampling the index, meaning that it holds a broadly diversified collection of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the index in terms of key characteristics.

Check whether the product carries IMI in its name: that variant also includes small-cap companies, so it covers considerably more firms than the standard version. They aren't the same thing, however similar the names look.

These are the other products of the same family in the catalogue. Not all of them track exactly the same index: compare the full name, the TER, the currency, whether they accumulate or distribute and where they are listed.
