About this fund

Fund objectives

  • 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.
