Consumer Staples Within a Capped Equity Index

IYK tracks the Russell 1000 Consumer Staples RIC 22.5/45 Capped Index. The benchmark selects consumer staples companies from a large- and mid-cap US equity universe and applies issuer-weight constraints. Its sector definition groups businesses supplying everyday consumer products. The fund follows those index rules rather than actively choosing companies according to changing economic forecasts.

The fund uses representative sampling, selecting investments intended to resemble the benchmark’s overall characteristics. It may therefore hold a different collection of securities from the index while seeking a similar Investment profile.

Portfolio Composition and Exposure

IYK reported 53 holdings as of 30 October 2026. Its allocation by Market Value included Food Bevg Tobacco at 58.41%, Household & Personal Prod at 21.61% and Health Care Equipment & Services at 13.36% as of 30 October 2026.

The fact sheet dated 30 September 2026 identified holdings including Procter & Gamble at 13.63%, Coca-Cola at 13.45% and Philip Morris International at 12.02%. These position weights refer to that reporting date and can change as the portfolio and market values evolve.

The same fact sheet reported a P/E ratio of 25.77x and a P/B ratio of 3.91x. These valuation measures complement the holdings information with Earnings and book-value characteristics associated with the equity portfolio.

Fees and Distribution Policy

The published expense ratio is 0.37%. Distributions are scheduled quarterly.

The 30-day SEC Yield was 2.56% as of 30 September 2026. This standardised income measure reflects the fund’s recent income after expenses; it is separate from changes in the market value of its shares.

The prospectus notes that brokerage commissions and other intermediary charges may apply separately. Fund shares trade at market prices, which can differ from NAV, so the stated NAV does not establish the price of every exchange transaction.

Key Insights

Competition, consumer preferences, product costs and regulation can affect the underlying businesses. A consumer staples mandate remains an equity investment and is exposed to company and market risks.
