This fund is designed for investors looking to build a core part of their portfolio, specifically aiming to capitalize on the potential for enhanced returns from small-capitalization and value-oriented companies within developed international markets, outside of the United States. Its primary objective is to generally replicate the overall investment performance, encompassing both capital appreciation and income, of the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Index, before any management fees and operating expenses are deducted.
