Under typical circumstances, the fund allocates at least 80% of its total assets to equity securities of companies included in a developed non-U.S. index. The advisor specifies that such an index consists of large-, mid-, and small-capitalization firms from developed economies, with the exclusion of the United States and Canada. This equity investment approach is primarily implemented by purchasing exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that themselves predominantly hold the shares of companies from these developed ex-U.S. indices.
