  • Aims to deliver lower volatility and risk-adjusted performance compared to the broader market
  • Expense ratio of 0.00% makes it a low-cost option for international equity exposure

⚠️ Primary Risks

  • Risks associated with investing in international developed markets, including currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, and potentially higher volatility
  • Potential underperformance of the factor-based strategy compared to the broader market during certain market conditions
  • Concentration risk as the fund is not fully diversified across all sectors and industries
