The investment seeks to track the performance of a benchmark index that measures the investment return of mid-capitalization stocks. The fund employs a passive management investment approach designed to track the performance of the MSCI US Mid Cap 450 index, a broadly diversified index of the stocks of medium-size 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.
