Expanding Investment Options
I’m excited to announce we’re changing the International Stock Index Investment Fund (I Fund) benchmark from the MSCI EAFE Index to the MSCI ACWI IMI ex USA ex China ex Hong Kong Index. The new benchmark increases exposure to non-U.S. stocks from 55% to 90%, the number of countries from 21 to 44, and the number of stocks from roughly 800 to more than 5,000. It will also add access to international small cap, emerging markets, and Canada for the first time. This change should produce a higher risk-adjusted return for the I Fund over the long term.
