Investment Objectives

BMO MSCI EAFE Index ETF has been designed to replicate, to the extent possible, the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index, net of expenses.

Investment Strategy

ZEA invests in developed equity markets, excluding Canada and the U.S. The Manager may use a sampling methodology in selecting investments for the fund. The Fund may also invest in or hold securities intended to replicate the performance of the Index. In addition, as ZEA may hold other underlying ETFs, the management fees charged are reduced by the management fees paid on the underlying ETFs.
