Investment Objectives
XCS seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the S&P/TSX SmallCap Index, net of expenses. Under normal market conditions, XCS will primarily invest in equity securities issued by Canadian small- capitalization issuers.
Investment Strategy
XCS's current principal investment strategy is to employ a Replicating Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XCS 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 .
