The Fund invests at least 80% of net assets in equity securities (including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs)) of companies located in international developed market countries. "International developed market" countries are those included in the Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large & Mid Cap USD Index (also referred to as the Starting Universe). The Index reflects a rules-based strategic beta approach to investing in the companies that comprise the Starting Universe, with the Index designed to seek to achieve stronger total return when compared with the Starting Universe, which is a broad measure of the performance of developed market large- and mid-cap growth and value companies. The Fund is passively managed and thus Columbia Management does not provide day-to-day active management of the Fund's assets based on its view of the investment merits of a security or company, nor does it conduct fundamental investment research or analysis, or seek to forecast or otherwise consider market movements, conditions, or trends in the day-to-day management of the Fund's assets.
