Fund Description

The fund employs an indexing investment approach aimed at tracking the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Value Index, which consists of a diverse array of value stocks from small U.S. companies. To achieve this objective, the fund invests all, or substantially all, of its assets in the individual stocks that comprise the Index, maintaining similar proportional weightings for each stock as outlined in the Index. This strategy allows the fund to provide investors with exposure to the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity market while aiming for performance that mirrors that of the Index.
