This fund is focused on investment strategies that prioritize replication of a specified index's performance by investing primarily in the assets that form the core of the index. The commitment is to maintain at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities or other financial instruments that mirror the components of the targeted index. Additionally, the fund engages in To Be Announced (TBA) transactions, which are designed to emulate the economic characteristics of the index's components closely. These strategies are aimed at investors seeking to gain exposure to the index's performance while also benefiting from the professional management of the fund.
The fund dedicates at least 80% of its assets to investments in the securities that are part of the index it aims to replicate. This ensures that the fund's performance closely aligns with that of the index, providing investors with a predictable investment outcome that matches the index's behavior.
TBA transactions are utilized by the fund to invest in securities that are not yet available but will have economic characteristics substantially identical to the component securities of the index. This approach allows the fund to anticipate and align its portfolio with future changes in the index composition, maintaining fidelity to the index's performance.
The fund commits at least 90% of its assets to fixed income securities that are included in the index. This high level of investment in fixed income securities is indicative of the fund's focus on providing stable and predictable returns to its investors, characteristic of fixed income investments. The specific types of fixed income securities chosen reflect the composition and risk profile of the index, aligning the fund's performance with the expected outcomes of index tracking.
