Objective |
| The iUnits S&P/TSX Canadian Gold Index Fund (iGold), a trust created by BGI Canada under the laws of Ontario. The underlying assets of the iGold fund are shares of the constituent companies, which make up the S&P/TSX Canadian Gold Index, held by the fund in the same proportion, based on relative weight, as the shares are reflected in the index. |
|

Companies are selected for the Index using Standard & Poor's industrial classifications and guidelines for evaluating company capitalization, liquidity, and fundamentals. |
