The iShares MSCI EAFE Min Vol Factor ETF (EFAV) is a passively managed fund that invests at least 80% of its assets in securities comprising its underlying index, or in holdings with substantially identical economic characteristics. The index targets international equity securities from developed markets outside North America that exhibit lower aggregate volatility relative to the broader MSCI EAFE Index. As a Foreign Large Blend ETF, EFAV provides exposure to large- and mid-cap equities across developed markets in Europe, Australasia, and the Far East, while applying a minimum-volatility factor tilt designed to reduce portfolio risk relative to a standard market-cap-weighted approach.
