The fund offers outstanding coverage of emerging markets by including small-caps in the portfolio. The fund will mainly invest in one or more iShares ETFs that reflects this exposure. The underlying index counts South Korea as an emerging market, in contrast to other indices. The fund does not fully replicate the underlying index. It uses a sampling strategy, wherein a representative basket of securities with similar risk and return profiles as the index is included, a strategy commonly used in order to reach or exclude securities for preferred investing or trading purposes. The index usually undergoes a quarterly rebalance. XEC is offered in both CAD and USD units.
