The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its overall portfolio, setting aside any collateral from securities lending, into either the direct holdings of its benchmark index or other securities sharing nearly identical economic attributes. This index utilizes a modified free-float market capitalization weighting methodology and concentrates on common stocks from companies operating in developing economies. A key distinction of the index is its deliberate exclusion of all companies incorporated or based in China. This fund is designated as non-diversified.
