TD Emerald Hedged U.S. Market Index Pooled Fund Trust
Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks to provide investors with the benefits of flexibility and cost effective implementation within an efficient fund structure, utilizing a modular approach. The Fund employs full replication for the U.S. equity component of the portfolio via direct stock holdings, and holds units in the fully replicated TD Emerald U.S. Market Index Fund. Foreign currency exposure is substantially hedged to Canadian dollars utilizing currency forwards. Through this approach, the portfolio mimics the characteristics and return of the S&P 500 Hedged Total Return Index.
Investment Objective
The Fund's objective is to track the performance of a broad based U.S. equity market index that measures the return of large-capitalization U.S. stocks, hedged into Canadian dollars.
Who Should Invest
The Fund is designed for institutional investors seeking cost-effective passive U.S equity exposure without the currency risk.
