Investment strategy
BMO MSCI EAFE Index ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, net of expenses. The Fund invests in developed equity markets, excluding Canada and the U.S. The Manager may use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the fund. The Fund may also invest in or hold securities intended to replicate the performance of the Index.
