EPOL aims to capture the concentrated nature of the Polish equity market as it tracks a broad index that selects and weights its constituents by market-cap. Though, as an emerging market, many of Poland's largest firms are considered midcaps by global standards. A cap of 25% per issuer is also used to meet diversification requirements. The fund uses a representative sampling method, which means it will invest in a sample of securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the underlying index. The index is rebalanced quarterly.
