EWQ captures broad French equities, holding a diverse portfolio of French large- and mid-caps with market-like array of sector weights. The French index covers securities, as classified by MSCIs country classification, traded on the Paris Stock Exchange. Since EWQ is made of French stocks, North American traders will get the best execution in the morning when the markets overlap. The fund typically engages in securities lending, which brings revenues to the fund at the cost of slight counterparty risk. The index is reviewed quarterly, starting every February with semi-annual index reviews in May and November.
