The Fund employs a passive management investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Euro-Aggregate: Treasury - 1-3 Year Index. The Fund invests in a representative sample of bonds included in the Index in order to closely match the Index's capital and income return. The Index measures the performance of fixed-rate Euro-denominated sovereign bonds issued by the governments of European Union member states participating in the European Monetary Union which have a par amount outstanding greater than or equal to 300 million.
