Investment Objectives
BMO MSCI Europe High Quality Hedged to CAD Index ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI Europe Quality 100% Hedged to CAD Index, net of expenses.
Investment Strategy
ZEQ invests in European equity markets, while screening for high return on equity (ROE), stable year-over-year earnings growth and low financial leverage. The Manager may use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the fund. The Fund may also invest in or hold securities intended to replicate the performance of the Index. The foreign currency exposure is hedged back to the Canadian dollar.
