The investment objective of iShares MSCI EAFE International Index Fund ( MSCI EAFE International Index Fund or the Fund ), a series of BlackRock Index Funds, Inc. (the Corporation ), is to match the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) (the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Index ) in U.S. dollars with net dividends as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.
The fund employs a passive strategy to track the MSCI EAFE Index, investing in a statistically selected sample of equity securities across all countries represented in the index rather than holding every constituent. Because the fund samples the index rather than replicating it exactly, its performance may diverge from the index.
