Fund Description

The investment seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the KBW Bank Index. The fund generally invests at least 90% of assets in securities of national money centers (which are banks with more than $50 billion in assets and that have a branch network across geographic regions) and regional banks and thrifts that are listed on a U.S. national securities exchange. It concentrates its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or sector only to the extent that the underlying index reflects a concentration in that industry or sector. The fund is non-diversified.
