Ishares Dex Real Return Bond Index Fund T.XRB

Alternate Symbol(s):  ICDXF

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide income by replicating, to the extent possible, the performance of the FTSE Canada Real Return Bond Index , net of expenses. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will primarily invest in Canadian fixed income securities. The Index is a market capitalization-weighted index consisting of Canadian dollar denominated inflation-linked bonds, which may include any or all of federal, provincial, corporate and municipal bonds, with an investment grade rating and a remaining effective term to maturity of at least one year. To achieve its investment objective the Fund uses an indexing strategy. Under this strategy, the Fund seeks to replicate the performance of the Index, net of expenses, by employing, directly or indirectly, through investment in one or more exchange-traded funds managed by BlackRock Canada or an affiliate and/or through the use of derivatives, a replicating strategy or sampling strategy.
