What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The iShares MSCI Canada ETF (the Fund ) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Canadian equities.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI Canada Custom Capped Index using representative sampling, holding a sample of Canadian large- and mid-cap equities with investment characteristics similar to the index. The index applies weight caps to limit concentration: no single issuer may exceed 22.5% of the index, and large issuers are further constrained in aggregate. Because the fund samples rather than holds all index constituents, its returns may diverge from the index.
