 Overview
The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of small capitalization growth stocks. The fund employs a passive management investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Small Cap Growth index, a broadly diversified index of growth stocks of smaller U.S. companies. It attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.
