The fund generally will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the underlying index and may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by BFA or its affiliates, as well as in securities not included in the underlying index, but which BFA believes will help the fund track the underlying index. The index is based on a traditional market capitalization-weighted parent index, the MSCI USA Index (the "parent index").

The case against SIZE

Due diligence cuts both ways. These funds sit on the same shelf and beat SIZE on at least one dimension that matters — the fee, the asset base, or where the money is going.
