The fund provides exposure to equities from approximately 21 developed market countries outside North America. The fund holds large- and mid-cap stocks only, in contrast with the IMI version of the index that includes small cap stocks. XGI will mainly invest in one or more iShares ETFs that reflects the underlying index exposure. The index is 100% hedged to the CAD. The index hedges back to a CAD by selling currency forwards at the one-month forward rate. Sibling fund XFH follows the IMI version.
