The company operates as an investment fund that primarily focuses on mirroring the performance of a predetermined stock market index. By allocating at least 80% of its assets directly into the securities that comprise its benchmark index, along with investments that offer substantially identical economic characteristics, the fund seeks to closely track the index's return. The specific index in question is a select segment of the Morningstar® U.S. Market IndexSM, a comprehensive market index covering roughly 97% of the market capitalization of publicly traded companies in the United States. This strategic approach allows investors an opportunity to invest in a broad spectrum of U.S. equities through a single investment vehicle.
This product offers investors the opportunity to engage in a diversified portfolio that aims to replicate the performance of its underlying index. By investing primarily in the component securities of the index and in other investments with similar economic characteristics, the fund allows for broad exposure to the U.S. stock market. This approach is designed for investors seeking to mirror the market performance mirrored by the index.
