The fund is passively managed to deliver plain-vanilla exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, as defined by GICS. The fund has breadth, holding a huge basket of stocks that it selects and weights by market capitalization. Media and entertainment companies that were reclassified to the communication services sector under GICS in 2018 are excluded. The index diversifies its holdings by applying limits on regulated investment companies using the MSCI 25/50 methodology. The index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.
