Financials led the way but all sectors of the MSCI World Index were up in April.
It claims that if the new index, which the new fund hopes to beat, had been around since January 2004, it would have gained 125% - against 55% in the MSCI World index.
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by primarily investing in a portfolio of approximately 35 to 45 equity securities with a market capitalization of at least $5 billion at the time of purchase, that are domiciled in those countries that comprise the MSCI World Index.
