The MSCI EAFE Index is a stock market index of foreign stock from 21 developed markets, but excludes those from the U.S. and Canada. The index targets coverage of 85% of the market capitalization of the equity market of all countries that are part of the index. The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in issuers located in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region. The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 90% of its assets, determined at the time of purchase, in stocks held by the benchmark. The Fund invests in stock index futures to maintain market exposure and manage cash flow. The Fund may purchase other types of securities that are not primarily investment vehicles, for example American Depository Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, and international equity exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and cash equivalents. Although the Fund may employ foreign currency hedging techniques, it normally maintains the currency exposure of the underlying equity investments. Show less
