Annual Returns
Risk Factor
High
Investment Objective
To track the return and risk profile of the MSCI
EAFE Index (total return, net of withholding taxes).
Strategy/Style*
The Fund uses analysis of the index’s construction
as well as cost-effective, risk-controlled trading
techniques. The Fund invests primarily in
non-North American equities although it may also
use exchange-traded funds and pooled funds
which help to achieve the benchmark tracking
return objective. Derivatives are permitted to
equitize cash and to replicate securities or
strategies that are consistent with the Fund’s
investment objective.
Important Note(s)
On May 23, 2013, the fund changed for the
International Equity Index Fund (BlackRock) and the
underlying fund since then is the BlackRock CDN
MSCI EAFE Equity Index.
