The fund primarily allocates at least 80% of its assets to securities comprising the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, along with depositary receipts representing those same investments. To replicate the index's performance, the advisor employs statistical sampling, considering factors like market capitalization, industry allocation, dividend yield, price/earnings (P/E) ratio, price/book (P/B) ratio, earnings growth, and country weightings. Additionally, the fund generates supplementary income by lending out its holdings.
