The investment seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg US 1000 Dividend Growth Index composed of U.S.-listed equities with a history of consistently growing dividends. The index is a subset of the Bloomberg US 1000 Growth Index, which measures the performance of large- and mid-capitalization growth companies in the U.S. equity market as determined by Bloomberg. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in dividend paying equity securities.
