Description

This fund focuses its investments predominantly on international equities. It typically allocates a significant portion, at least 80% of its overall assets (including any capital borrowed for investment purposes), to common stocks and securities that can be converted into common stock. These holdings must originate from companies based in a minimum of three distinct countries outside the United States. The fund's primary geographic area for these investments corresponds to the nations included in the MSCI® EAFE Index. This benchmark index is designed to track the performance of large and mid-sized companies across 21 developed markets. These markets encompass countries throughout Europe, Australasia, and the Far East, but specifically exclude the United States and Canada.
