The fund seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Canada Domestic Index which focuses on large-cap issuers that are economically-tied to the Canadian market. The fund is market-cap-weighted and holds the constituents securities in the same ratio as they are seen in the index - which is derived from the FTSE Developed Index but without the foreign ownership restrictions. It is designed for investors seeking long-term capital growth from a diversified portfolio delivering efficient exposure to the potential of Canadian firms. Additionally, risks are to be considered as the fund solely invests in large-cap companies which could lead to varying returns versus the market. The index is reviewed semi-annually in March and September.
