Can you help identify this fund?

Hi,

I am making additional pension contributions via my work pension scheme and one of the underlying funds is .....

BlackRock World (Ex-UK) Equity Index Fund 100%

I am trying to locate this fund on the market to see performance figures, current value etc (eg. using yahoo finance, google finance etc) however cannot seem to find it.

Can anyone help with this please?

Thanks,

Paul.

    A quick search on trustnet throws up Blackrock Aquila Connect World ex UK Equity Index Pn Fund, is that the one?

    Who is the insurance company the pension is with?

    You would expect the fund name to be: Insurance company name BlackRock World (Ex-UK) Equity Index Fund 100%

    @jenniferk, @johnro - i saw the "aquila" one but wasn't sure is this was the right one. any idea why i can't find this fund in yahoo finance/google finance - maybe i'm doing something wrong :o)

    @dunstonh - this is what the fact sheet says .....

    "This life fund invests in an underlying fund managed by BlackRock Life Limited. The objective
    of the underlying fund is:
    "This fund invests in the shares of overseas companies, (Europe, Japan, Far East, US and
    Canadian markets) according to market capitalisation weightings. Within each of those
    markets, the fund aims to generate returns consistent with those of each country's primary
    share market. This fund aims to achieve a return in line with the FTSE All-World Developed
    ex-UK Index. The Fidelity fund invests in the underlying fund through a reinsurance policy
    with BlackRock Life Limited."

    it mentions fidelity in the last sentence but nowhere else in the factsheet.

    SEDOL number B1D4VF7
    ISIN number GB00B1D4VF74

    thanks for your help.
