Investment Objectives
CWO has been designed to provide investors with exposure to the return and performance of an index selected at the discretion of BlackRock Canada measuring the investment returns of securities issued by companies domiciled or operating primarily in emerging market countries, net of expenses. CWO currently seeks to replicate the performance of the FTSE RAFI 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. 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 .
