Investment Objective

A Fund seeking to match the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (the "EAFE Index") as closely as possible before the deduction of Fund expenses.

 
Investment Style

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies that comprise the EAFE Index. The Fund is not managed according to traditional methods of "active" investment management, which involve the buying and selling of securities based upon economic, financial and market analyses and investment judgment. Instead, the Fund utilizes a "passive" or "indexing" investment approach that attempts to replicate, before expenses, the performance of the EAFE Index. The Fund invests in a statistically selected sample of equity securities included in the EAFE Index and in derivative instruments linked to the EAFE Index.

The Fund intends to purchase investments so that the market capitalizations, industry weightings and other fundamental characteristics of the stocks and derivative instruments chosen are similar to the EAFE Index as a whole.
