iShares Diversified Monthly Income ETF

The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a consistent monthly cash distribution, with the potential for modest long-term capital growth, by investing primarily in exchange-traded funds listed on a recognized Canadian Stock Exchange and managed by BlackRock Canada or an affiliate (Canadian iShares Fund) that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of income-bearing investments. Exposure to these types of income-bearing investments may also be obtained by investing directly in them and/or through the use of derivatives. To achieve its investment objective the investment strategy of the Fund is to invest primarily in income-bearing Canadian iShares funds. The Fund will invest in a portfolio that is a diversified representation of income-bearing asset classes, including, but not limited to, common equities, fixed income securities and real estate investment trusts. BlackRock Canada will develop and maintain a strategic asset allocation policy for the Fund.
