Investment Objectives

The fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI ACWI ex Canada IMI Index (the "Index"), net of expenses. The Index captures large, mid and small cap representation across 22 of 23 developed markets countries (excluding Canada) and 23 emerging markets countries. The Index covers approximately 99% of the global equity opportunity set outside Canada.

Investment Strategy

The primary investment strategy of the fund is to invest in securities of one or more exchange-traded funds managed by BlackRock or an affiliate, and/or securities of the constituent issuers included in the Index, such that the resulting portfolio will have characteristics that closely match the characteristics of the Index.
