## Investment objective

The fund seeks to replicate, as closely as possible, before the deduction of expenses, the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) EAFE® Index (EAFE® Index), which emphasizes stocks of companies in major markets in Europe, Australasia and the Far East. The fund invests for capital appreciation, not income; any dividend and interest income is incidental to the pursuit of its objective.
