Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach and seeks to provide long-term capital growth by tracking the performance of the MSCI Pacific ex Japan Index (the “Index”).
- The Index is comprised of large and mid-sized company stocks in developed markets in the Pacific Region, excluding Japan.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in all constituent securities of the Index in the same proportion as the Index. Where not practicable to fully replicate, the Fund will use a sampling process. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
