Fund Description
The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of consumer staples stocks. The fund employs a "passive management"-or indexing-investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Investable Market Index (IMI)/ Consumer Staples 25/50, an index made up of stocks of large, medium-size, and small U.S. companies within the consumer staples sector, as classified under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). It attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index. The fund is non-diversified.
