Correction to previous information regarding index for XACT OMXS30 (UCITS ETF)

In our press release dated 16 June 2021, we provided information regarding a change to the index and the name of the fund as of 1 July 2021.

The description of the fund’s new index provided in the press release incorrectly stated that the sustainability requirements include the inclusion and exclusion of companies. The correct information is that the sustainability requirements in the index include the exclusion of companies. 

The correct information is provided below:  
The fund is an exchange-traded index fund and has the objective of tracking the performance of the OMX Stockholm 30 ESG Responsible IndexTM (OMXS30ESG) as closely as possible. The index aims to reflect the 30 most traded equities based on value in Nasdaq Stockholm. Given that the index includes sustainability requirements, companies involved in verified violations of international norms and companies that are active within controversial sectors are excluded from the index.
