Investment Objectives
XEB seeks to provide income by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Core Hedged in CAD Index, net of expenses, and, to the extent possible, hedge any resulting U.S. dollar currency exposure back to Canadian dollars. Under normal market conditions, XEB will primarily invest in securities of one or more iShares ETFs and/or U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities issued by emerging market governments.
Investment Strategy
XEB's current principal investment strategy is to invest in one or more iShares ETFs. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XEB may also invest by employing a Replicating Strategy, a Sampling Strategy and/or through the use of derivatives. XEB employs a Currency Hedging Strategy with respect to U.S. dollar currency exposure.
