Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
The Fund seeks to provide investment results approximating the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index (the Index).
The fund tracks the MSCI EAFE Index, which covers large and mid-cap equities across 21 developed markets excluding the US and Canada, by holding substantially all index constituents in approximately their index weightings; it may optimize its portfolio to minimize tracking error and manage transaction costs when full replication is impracticable. Because the fund may not hold every security in the Index or in identical proportions, its quarterly performance may diverge from the Index.

Return profile
Total return as filed — price change plus distributions reinvested · trailing figures to Apr 2026
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
