What this fund is
Objective, as filed

The fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index.

Strategy, summarised

The fund tracks the MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index using a full replication strategy, holding substantially all component securities in the same weightings, though it may shift to representative sampling if full replication is not feasible. The index selects developed-market equities with higher dividend yields and quality characteristics than the broader MSCI EAFE Index, excluding REITs, and is concentrated in financials and consumer staples sectors as well as Swiss and UK issuers. Because the fund may use representative sampling when necessary, its holdings and performance may diverge from the index.
