The fund aims to replicate the total return, encompassing both price appreciation and income, of the Dow Jones U.S. Thematic Market Neutral Value Index, before accounting for associated fees and expenses. It commits at least 80% of its net assets to purchasing the common stocks identified as long positions within that index, and simultaneously establishes short positions for at least 80% of the index's designated short holdings. This benchmark index itself employs a market-neutral long/short approach, ensuring dollar neutrality. This means it meticulously selects long and short securities positions that possess approximately equal monetary values. By mirroring such a market-neutral index, the fund endeavors to reduce its susceptibility to overall market fluctuations.
