Northern Trust Files MSCI EAFE ETF for International Fund Reorganization

Northern Trust Asset Management has filed for the Northern Trust MSCI EAFE ETF, which is expected to become the successor to the International Equity Index Fund through a planned reorganization on March 5, 2027. The passive ETF will track the MSCI EAFE Index, providing large- and mid-cap exposure across 21 developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada. The fund will invest at least 80% of assets in index securities, depositary receipts and related futures, using replication where practical and optimization when needed. As of May 29, 2026, the index held 689 constituents and covered approximately 85% of the free-float-adjusted market capitalization in each included country.
