Summary

The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the total return of large, publicly traded non-U.S. companies from countries with developed equity markets outside of the United States. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its net assets in stocks that are included in the MSCI EAFE Index. It may invest in derivatives, principally futures contracts, and lend its securities to minimize the gap in performance that naturally exists between any index fund and its corresponding index. The fund may concentrate its investments in an industry or group of industries to the extent that its comparative index is also so concentrated.
