About

The investment seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield of the Wells Fargo? Hybrid and Preferred Securities Floating and Variable Rate Index. The fund will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the underlying index. The underlying index is a market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the performance of preferred stock, as well as certain types of "hybrid securities" that are functionally equivalent to preferred stocks, that are issued by U.S.-based or foreign issuers and that pay a floating or variable rate dividend or coupon. It is non-diversified.
