Objective
Seeks investment results that correspond to the price and yield of the Index.
Strategy
Invests primarily in securities that comprise the International Developed Capital Strength Index, which measures well-capitalized companies in developed markets outside the U.S. The Fund uses the net total return version of the Index, which reinvests cash dividends and adjusts for withholding rates. The Index is rebalanced semi-annually and includes securities ranked by free float-adjusted market capitalization, with a focus on stability and performance.
