XGR - Growth Core Portfolio Builder Fund

Commencement Date: 13-Nov-2008
The iShares Growth Core Portfolio Builder Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth by investing primarily in iShares ETFs, managed by BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited ("BlackRock") or an affiliate, that provide exposure to equity securities and to one or more alternative asset classes, with the balance invested in those that provide exposure to fixed income securities. The fund will ordinarily invest in iShares ETFs, but may also use individual securities and/or derivatives to gain exposure to these asset classes. BlackRock will seek to create an asset allocation for the fund through a proprietary multi-factor selection process that seeks to identify and optimally diversify certain fundamental sources of return.

The fund may also employ currency hedging. Currently, the fund hedges currency exposure linked to investments in EMB, TIP, HYG, and LQD.
