Strategy. Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in securities included in the emerging markets benchmark index for the Fund and in depositary receipts representing securities included in the index. The Funds benchmark index is the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is designed to measure the equity market performance of large- and mid-capitalization securities in emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund employs a replication strategy, which means the Fund seeks to replicate the investment results of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by investing in substantially all of the securities represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.

The Funds benchmark index is the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, which is designed to measure the equity market performance of large- and mid-capitalization securities in emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund employs a replication strategy, which means the Fund seeks to replicate the investment results of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by investing in substantially all of the securities represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The sub-subadviser may also utilize a statistical sampling approach to seek to replicate the returns of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and therefore the Fund may not always hold all of the same securities as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment characteristics of the index and the Fund by taking into account such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, price to earnings ratio, price to book ratio, earnings growth, and country weightings. The Fund will not concentrate, except to the same approximate extent as its index may concentrate, in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries (also known as a sector). As of December 31, 2024, a significant portion of the Fund is represented by securities of companies in the Financial sector. The weightings of the Fund are likely to change over time as the composition of the index changes over time. The Fund will focus its assets in securities of issuers in a single country, a small number of countries, or a particular geographic region to the same approximate extent as its index may focus in securities of issuers in that single country, that small number of countries, or that particular geographic region. The Fund will not deviate from the above noted strategies at any time for any reason. The Fund may lend its portfolio holdings to certain financial institutions. Show less
