Principal investment strategy
The Fund employs a passive management approach, investing in a portfolio of assets whose performance is expected to match approximately the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index before the deduction of Fund expenses. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in a statistically selected sampling of equity securities of companies included in the MSCI EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, primarily futures contracts. The MSCI EAFE Index is a market-weighted index composed of common stocks of companies from various economic sectors whose primary trading markets are located outside the United States and Canada . The MSCI EAFE Index includes large- and mid-capitalization companies across developed markets countries around the world, excluding the U.S.
and Canada, and may change over time. The Fund does not necessarily invest in all of the securities in the MSCI EAFE Index, or in the same weightings as the securities have in the index. The Funds Subadviser (as defined below) chooses investments so that the market capitalizations, industry weightings, and other fundamental characteristics of the securities chosen are similar to those of the MSCI EAFE Index as a whole. At February 27 , 2026 , Japan represented approximately 23 % of the MSCI EAFE Index. Industry Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the MSCI EAFE Index is concentrated.
