Fund Description
The Fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the FTSE Emerging Markets All Cap China A Inclusion Index (the“Target Index”), a market-capitalization weighted index that is made up of the common stocks of companies located in emerging markets around the world. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus theamount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the stocks that make up the Target Index. The Fund invests by sampling the Target Index, meaning that it holds a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Target Index in terms of key riskfactors and othercharacteristics. The Fund may become nondiversified, as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, solely as a result of tracking an index. This could occur due to events such as an index rebalance or market movement. A nondiversified fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of particular issuers as compared with diversified funds. In addition, the Fund could become concentrated in an industry or group of industries if the Target Index becomes concentrated due to market conditions or the performance of a single or related group of issuers.
