19925252-WK

Price through Oct 1 · Flows through Oct 31. Figures use the latest available records, not a live quote. Fund details retrieved Oct 1. Holdings snapshot retrieved Oct 1.

The fund employs an indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the CRSP US Small Cap Value Index, a broadly diversified index of value stocks of small U.S. companies. The advisor attempts to replicate the target index by investing all, or substantially all, of its assets in the stocks that make up the index, holding each stock in approximately the same proportion as its weighting in the index.
