Fund Description

The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Global Small Cap ex US Index (the “Target Index”), a float-adjusted, market-capitalization-weighted index designed to measure equity market performance of international small-capitalization stocks. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80%of itsnet assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, inthe stocks thatmake up the Target Index. The Fund invests by sampling the Target Index, meaning that it holds a range of securities that, in the aggregate,approximates the full Target Index in terms of key risk factors and othercharacteristics.
