Full fund details

Objective
Seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of 50 of the largest Asian equities.
Strategy
Tracks the S&P Asia 50 Capped Index, a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index measuring the performance of 50 leading companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the index's component securities and may use representative sampling. It does not seek to outperform the index and aims for lower costs and better after-tax performance through low portfolio turnover.
