Capital Appreciation
Many investors have discrete goals in mind when they consider long-term growth of their investment portfolios. A few of the common goals include retirement savings, education plans, capital purchases, bequests and/or charitable intentions. Capital appreciation emphasizes the components of an investment portfolio dedicated to achieving long-term goals. It goes beyond wealth preservation and focuses on potential return on principal. There is an expansive array of investment options with an emphasis on equities. FlexShares capital appreciation strategies may complement investor’s portfolios by offering targeted solutions that seek to meet specific goals over defined time horizons. Risk-adjusted returns, risk tolerance, time horizon and performance expectations are key considerations when designing and delivering capital appreciation solutions.

The Morningstar® Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt Hedged IndexSM (the Currency Hedge Index) measures the performance of the Morningstar® Developed Markets ex-US Factor Tilt IndexSM (the Benchmark Index) after applying a practical hedging program, limiting the effects of currency fluctuations.
