Industry description
The investment seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the total return of foreign stock markets.
The fund normally invests at least 80% of assets in securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index. The advisor uses statistical sampling techniques based on such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, price/earnings (P/E) ratio, price/book (P/B) ratio, earnings growth, and country weightings to attempt to replicate the returns of the MSCI EAFE Index. The advisor lends securities to earn income for the fund.
