You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.</div> Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses(Expenses that You Pay Each Year as a Percentage of the Value of Your Investment) 0.0070 0.0000 0.0070 “Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the first fiscal year. Example: <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Portfolio with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Portfolio for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</div> 72 224 390 871 Portfolio Turnover <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Portfolio pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual portfolio operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Portfolio’s portfolio turnover rate, which was the portfolio turnover rate of the Portfolio’s predecessor portfolio, Harding Loevner International Developed Markets Equity Portfolio (the “Predecessor Portfolio”) was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.28 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Portfolio invests primarily in companies based in developed markets outside the United States. Harding Loevner, the</div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Portfolio’s investment adviser, undertakes fundamental research in an effort to identify companies that are well managed, financially sound, fast growing, and strongly competitive, and whose shares are reasonably priced relative to estimates of their value. To reduce its volatility, the Portfolio is diversified across dimensions of geography, industry, currency, and market capitalization. The Portfolio normally holds investments across at least 10 countries.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Factors bearing on whether a company is considered to be “based” in a developed market outside the United States may include: (1) it is legally domiciled in a developed market outside the United States; (2) it conducts at least 50% of its business, as measured by the location of its sales, earnings, assets, or production, in a developed market outside the United States; or (3) it has the principal exchange listing for its securities in a developed market outside the United States.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Portfolio will normally invest broadly in equity securities of companies domiciled in countries included in the MSCI World ex US Index. The MSCI World ex US Index includes stocks from 22 developed markets in Canada, Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. At least 65% of the Portfolio’s total assets will be denominated in at least three currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For purposes of compliance with this restriction, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) will be considered to be denominated in the currency of the country where the securities underlying the depositary receipts are principally traded.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, and warrants issued by companies that are based in developed markets outside the United States, securities convertible into such securities (including depositary receipts), and investment companies that invest in the types of securities in which the Portfolio would normally invest. The Portfolio also may invest in securities of U.S. companies that derive, or are expected to derive, a significant portion of their revenues from their foreign operations, although under normal circumstances not more than 15% of the Portfolio’s total assets will be invested in securities of U.S. companies.</div> The Portfolio invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, and warrants issued by companies that are based in developed markets outside the United States, securities convertible into such securities (including depositary receipts), and investment companies that invest in the types of securities in which the Portfolio would normally invest. The Portfolio is subject to numerous risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Market Risk</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> The value of investments in the Portfolio may fluctuate suddenly and unexpectedly as a result of various market and economic factors, including those affecting individual companies, issuers or particular industries. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Foreign currencies may experience steady or sudden devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar, adversely affecting the value of the Portfolio’s investments. Because the Portfolio’s net asset value is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, you may lose money even if the foreign market prices of the Portfolio’s holdings rise. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Foreign Investment Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Securities issued by foreign entities involve risks not associated with U.S. investments. These risks include additional taxation, political, economic, social, geopolitical or diplomatic instability, and the above-mentioned possibility of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. There may also be less publicly-available information about a foreign issuer. Such risks may be magnified with respect to securities of issuers in frontier emerging markets. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Authorized Participant Concentration Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> The Portfolio may have a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Portfolio and no other authorized participant creates or redeems, Shares may trade at a discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. Authorized participant concentration risk may be heightened for ETFs that invest in securities issued by non‑U.S. issuers or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Large Shareholder Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Certain shareholders may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Portfolio’s shares. In addition, a third party investor, an Authorized Participant (as defined in the “Creations and Redemptions” section below), a market maker, or another entity may invest in the Portfolio and hold its investment for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem or sell its investment. To the extent effected in cash, redemptions of a large number of Portfolio shares could require the Portfolio to dispose of assets to meet the redemption requests, which can accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or capital gains and cause the Portfolio to make taxable distributions to its shareholders earlier than the Portfolio otherwise would have. In some circumstances, the Portfolio may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation of large redemptions (to the extent redemptions are effected in cash), diluting its investment returns. These large redemptions may also force the Portfolio to sell portfolio securities when it might not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Portfolio’s performance. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Market Trading Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> The net asset value (“NAV”) of the Portfolio and the value of your investment may fluctuate. Market prices of shares may fluctuate, in some cases significantly, in response to the Portfolio’s NAV, the intraday value of the Portfolio’s holdings and supply and demand for shares. The Portfolio faces numerous market trading risks, including disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for shares. Any of these factors, among others, may result in shares trading at a significant premium or discount to net asset value, which will be reflected in the intraday bid/ask spreads and/or the closing price of shares as compared to net asset value. In addition, because liquidity in certain underlying securities may fluctuate, shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to net asset value than </span></div><div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">shares of other kinds of ETFs. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Portfolio’s underlying holdings.</div><div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">Where all or a portion of the Portfolio’s underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market in which the Portfolio’s shares are listed and trading is open, the market price of the Portfolio’s shares and the underlying value of those shares may differ and widen bid‑ask spreads or settlement times.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">No Guarantee of Active Trading Market Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> There can be no assurance that an active trading market for Portfolio shares will develop or be maintained. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods in stressed market conditions because market makers and authorized participants may step away from making a market in the shares and in executing creation and redemption orders, which could cause a material deviation in the Portfolio’s market price and its underlying net asset value. </span></div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #84052b;">Trading Issues Risk.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"> Trading in Portfolio shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the listing exchange, make trading in shares on the listing exchange inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the listing exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the listing exchange “circuit breaker” rules. In the event of a trading halt or unanticipated early closing of the listing exchange, a shareholder may be unable to purchase or sell shares of the Portfolio. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the listing exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Portfolio will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. </span></div> Portfolio Performance <div style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">It is currently contemplated that before the Portfolio commences operations, the Predecessor Portfolio, another series of The Harding, Loevner Funds, Inc., will transfer its assets and liabilities to the Portfolio in a tax‑free reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Portfolio and the Predecessor Portfolio have the identical investment objective, fundamental investment policies and investment strategy. However, ETFs, such as the Portfolio, are structurally different from mutual funds, such as the Predecessor Portfolio, in several important aspects, including the ability for ETF shareholders to trade shares intraday on an exchange at market prices, the full daily transparency of the ETF’s portfolio holdings and the potential for increased tax efficiency.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The performance of the Predecessor Portfolio has not been restated to reflect the annual operating expenses of the Portfolio, which are lower than those of the Predecessor Portfolio. Because the Portfolio has different fees and expenses than the Predecessor Portfolio, the Portfolio would also have had different performance results. Additionally, if the Predecessor Portfolio had operated as an ETF, its performance may have differed.</div> <div style="margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial;">The following bar chart shows how the investment results of the Predecessor Portfolio’s Institutional Class shares have varied from year to year.
