Investment Objectives

iShares US Fundamental Index Fund seeks to track, less fees and expenses, the FTSE RAFI US 1000 C$ Hedged Index, comprised of the largest 1,000 US-listed companies by fundamental value. They're selected on the basis of 3 factors aggregated over 5 years: total cash dividends, free cash flow and total sales. Current book equity value is also taken into account. CLU is hedged against U.S. currency risk.

Investment Strategy

CLU’s current principal investment strategy is to employ a Replicating Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, CLU may invest by employing a Sampling Strategy, by investing in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives. CLU employs a Currency Hedging Strategy with respect to U.S. dollar currency exposure of the Hedged Units only.
