Investment Objectives
XMS seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI USA Minimum Volatility (USD) 100% Hedged to CAD Index, net of expenses and, to the extent possible, hedge any resulting non-Canadian currency exposure back to Canadian dollars. Under normal market conditions, XMS will primarily invest in securities of one or more iShares ETFs and/or U.S. equity securities.
Investment Strategy
XMS's current principal investment strategy is to invest in one or more iShares ETFs. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XMS may also invest by employing a Replicating Strategy, a Sampling Strategy and/or through the use of derivatives. XMS employs a Currency Hedging Strategy with respect to foreign currency exposure.
