Investment Objectives

XCG seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the Dow Jones Canada Select Growth Index, net of expenses. Under normal market conditions, XCG will primarily invest in Canadian equity securities.

XCG's current principal investment strategy is to employ a Replicating Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XCG 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 .
