Description: The investment seeks the investment results of an index composed of developed market equities that, in the aggregate, have lower volatility characteristics relative to the broader developed equity markets, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The fund generally invests at least 90% of its assets in securities of the underlying index or in depositary receipts representing securities in the MSCI EAFE Minimum Volatility Index. The components of the underlying index, and the degree to which these components represent certain industries, may change over time. Components primarily include consumer staples, financial and healthcare companies. The fund is non-diversified.
