XMW - MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility Index Fund

Commencement Date: 24-Jul-2012
The iShares MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility Index Fund seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI All Country World Minimum Volatility Index (USD), net of expenses. The MSCI ACWI Minimum Volatility Index measures the performance of equity securities in both emerging and developed markets that have lower volatility relative to the equity securities included in the MSCI All Country World Index (the “MSCI ACWI Index”). The eligible universe of securities is taken from the MSCI ACWI Index, which is a capitalization-weighted index, and then MSCI follows a rules-based methodology to determine optimal weights for securities in the index in order to seek to minimize total risk of the MSCI ACWI Index. Representative companies include consumer staples, financials and health care companies. The Index is optimized in U.S. dollars and reported in Canadian dollars.
