Investment Objectives

XEN seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the Morningstar Jantzi Social Index, net of expenses. Under normal market conditions, XEN will primarily invest in Canadian equity securities.

Investment Strategy

XEN's current principal investment strategy is to employ a Replicating Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XEN may also invest by employing a Sampling Strategy, by investing in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives. More information on these investment strategies and additional investment strategies that may be used by BlackRock Canada and/or BTC in managing this iShares Fund can be found under the heading Investment Strategies .
