Overview
The described fund is a financial investment vehicle designed to closely track the financial performance of large-sized companies outside of the United States.

These scores are derived from the RAFI Global Equity Investable Universe, which represents the broader market of developed international companies, excluding U.S.-based entities. This approach underscores a commitment to grounding investment decisions in solid, fundamental analysis of company value, rather than relying purely on market capitalization or other more traditional metrics.
