Derivatives are also in the mix in seeking to hedge foreign currency exposure of the securities to the CAD. Index components are reviewed semi-annually in March and September. In all, the fund delivers comprehensive exposure to the developed stock market (excluding US) inexpensively using low-cost but efficient management techniques.
