FlexShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) seek investment outcomes that help meet real-world needs such as inflation-hedging (with global upstream natural resources), targeting duration exposure (with Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS)), and long-term growth (with a tilt to value and smaller cap stocks).
Focusing on duration may help investors to tailor their inflation-hedging efforts.
FlexShares Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are managed by Northern Trust, a global provider of asset management solutions for individual and institutional investors.
