Investment Objectives

XAD seeks to provide long-term capital growth by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance, net of expenses, of an Index selected at the discretion of BlackRock Canada that is designed to measure the performance of U.S. companies in the aerospace & defense sector, as determined by the Index Provider. XAD currently seeks to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Aerospace & Defense Index.

Investment Strategy

XAD’s current principal investment strategy is to employ a Replicating Strategy. In addition to or as an alternative to this strategy, XAD may also invest by employing a Sampling Strategy, by investing in one or more iShares ETFs and/or through the use of derivatives.
