Some Sub-Funds attempt to replicate the index by investing all, or substantially all, of their assets in the securities that make up the index, holding each in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index. Others attempt to select those securities that will create the representative sample that tracks the performance of the index as closely as possible. Optimisation or stratified sampling techniques, or both, are used to create the sample. Tracking error measures the volatility of the return difference between the Sub-Fund and the index. It is calculated as the standard deviation of the tracking difference between the Sub-Fund and the index (gross of fees for the trailing 36-month period, or since the Sub-Fund’s inception if it does not have 36 months of performance history). Realised tracking error may vary from the anticipated tracking error, depending on a range of circumstances. These include transaction costs, securities lending income, and withholding tax differences.

  • Ccfs and Asset Pooling
    CCFs and Asset Pooling 0 CCFS AND ASSET POOLING Background to Asset Pooling In the context of investment fund products, asset pooling is not a new concept. For many years asset managers have been offering pooled investment products to their clients, such products including US mutual funds, European UCITS, UK OEICs, etc, as a means whereby investors of varying types and sizes could invest on a collective basis in a pool of underlying assets with the aim of benefiting from centralised, professional asset management services and specialist fund administration and custody services with the perceived additional benefits of cost savings across these various services as a result of economies of scale. In addition, certain investors consider they obtain a higher standard of governance for their portfolios through investment in pooled schemes as well as a consistency of approach and, additionally, depending on the type of scheme chosen, may benefit from relevant regulatory protections applicable to the pooled structure and its service providers. One drawback, however, of many pooled structures has been how they have been treated from a tax perspective. Take, for example, a small pension fund which decides to invest unilaterally and directly (i.e. not through a pooled scheme). In such a case it may be able to access double tax treaties benefiting from, for example, a reduction or absence of withholding tax on distributions from the investments acquired. In the case of a pooled scheme, the capacity for the investor to obtain directly or indirectly the benefit of the reduced rate of withholding tax has generally been absent as the pooled vehicle may, due to its legal nature, be treated as an opaque vehicle where the assets are assets of the vehicle itself.
