How it fits in a portfolio
Investors looking to gain a cost-effective exposure to the broad market can consider the Fund as a core position for equity allocation, due to the Fund's globally diversified universe of developed-market equities. It offers a greater diversification than its benchmark, which covers just over 1,300 stocks. Investors should remain mindful that the Fund is an equity strategy and will likely experience periods of heightened volatility and drawdowns. In addition, while the Fund has a tilt towards Value, Size and Profitability factors, these factors may undergo prolonged periods of underperformance in the short to medium term, despite strong evidence supporting their long-term outperformance.
