It's the Index that the fund performance is compared against.

For this fund [according to Morningstar] that index is the: MSCI Eafe Ndtr_D

Described as: A widely accepted as a benchmark for international stock performance, the EAFE Index is an aggregate of 21 individual country indexes that collectively represent many of the major markets of the world.
