The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Morningstar Global ex-US Dividend Growth Index (the Underlying Index), which is a dividend dollar weighted index that seeks to measure the performance of international equities selected based on a consistent history of growing dividends, as determined by Morningstar Inc. (the Index Provider or Morningstar). The Underlying Index is a subset of the Morningstar Global Markets ex-US Index, which is a diversified broad market index that represents approximately 97 percent of the market capitalization in international developed and emerging markets, as defined by Morningstar. Eligible companies for the Underlying Index must pay a qualified dividend, must have at least five years of uninterrupted annual dividend growth and must have an earnings payout ratio of less than 75 percent. A company that is in the top decile of dividend yield for its region, as defined by the Index Provider (for example, Developed Asia Pacific, Developed Europe, Middle East and Africa, Developed North America ex-US (Canada) and Emerging Markets), is excluded from the Underlying Index.
