Status: Industrial Indexed Funds

Fund on basis of companies in Standard & Poor's Global Telecommunications
Sector The S&P Global Sector index series represents the opportunity set
of investable equities around the globe based on the 10 sectors of the Global
Industry Classification Standard (GICSŪ). A stock's performance depends on its
region and sector
representation. These stock-specific factors yield different risks and returns.
Highlighting the sector characteristics of the S&P Global 1200,
which represents 70% of world's market capitalization, the 10 indices are designed
to offer increased diversification since sectors behave differently
globally. The Benefits of GICS Global structure for local markets GICS establishes
a common standard that enables asset owners, asset managers and investment research
specialists to make global comparisons by industry. The standardized classification
system permits foreign investors to look into local markets and local investors
to look out at the rest of the world when comparing stocks within the same industry.
GICS helps market participants determine whether local stock movements are locally
based or are
part of a broader global trend. Included following companies in different business
