American
Beacon International Equity Index Fund
Portfolio information as of March 31, 2007
Investment
Advisors
The
Fund seeks its investment objective by investing all of its investable
assets in the Master International Index Series, a portfolio of the Quantitative
Master Series Trust, which is managed managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC. BlackRock Advisors, LLC on behalf of the Series, has a sub-advisory agreement with BlackRock Investment Management, LLC.
Investment Style
The Fund's advisors
invests primarily in common stocks of companies that comprise the EAFE
Index. The Fund is not managed according to traditional methods of "active"
investment management, which involve the buying and selling of securities
based upon economic, financial and market analyses and investment judgment.
Instead, the Fund utilizes a "passive" or "indexing"
investment approach that attempts to replicate, before expenses, the performance
of the EAFE Index. The Fund invests in a statistically selected sample
of equity securities included in the EAFE Index and derivative instruments
linked to the EAFE Index.
The Fund intends to
purchase investments so that the market capitalizations, industry weightings
and other fundamental characteristics of the stocks chosen are similar
to the EAFE Index as a whole.
