Investment Objectives

iShares Broad Emerging Markets Fund seeks to track, less fees and expenses, the FTSE RAFI Emerging Index - a broad and diversified index of emerging market companies, which takes account of total cash dividends, free cash flow, total sales, and book value of each constituent. The Manager may (at its discretion and without unit holder approval) change to another widely recognized emerging markets index.

Investment Strategy

CWO’s current principal investment strategy is to employ a Sampling Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, CWO may invest by employing a Replicating Strategy, by investing in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives.
