|
| · Risks of stock investing |
· Risks of stock investing: Stocks
generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods.
There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles,
with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general
market conditions or because of factors that affect the particular company or the company's industry.
Holders of common stock incur more risk than holders of preferred stock and debt obligations because
common stockholders, as owners of the issuer, generally have inferior rights to receive payments from
the issuer in comparison with the rights of holders of debt obligations or preferred stock issued by
the issuer. In addition, holders of common stock generally have a lower priority in reorganization
and bankruptcy proceedings than holders of debt obligations or preferred stock.
|
| · Indexing strategy risk |
· Indexing
strategy risk: The fund uses an indexing strategy. It does not attempt
to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effects of any long-term periods
of poor index performance. The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by, among
other things, the fund's expenses, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index,
the manner in which the total return of the fund's index is calculated, the size of the fund's portfolio,
and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares. Outdated or unreliable market information
could result in errors in index data, index computations or the construction of the index in accordance
with its methodology and may not be identified and corrected by the index provider for a period of time
or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the fund and its shareholders.
|
| · Growth stock risk |
· Growth
stock risk: The prices of growth stocks may be based largely on expectations
of future earnings, and their prices can decline rapidly and significantly in reaction to negative news.
Growth stocks may underperform value stocks and stocks in other broad style categories (and the stock
market as a whole) over any period of time and may shift in and out of favor with investors generally,
sometimes rapidly, depending on changes in market, economic, and other factors.
|
| · Large-cap stock risk |
· Large-cap
stock risk: The fund may underperform funds that invest primarily in
the stocks of smaller capitalization companies during periods when the stocks of such companies are in
favor. Compared to small- and mid-capitalization companies, large-capitalization companies may be less
responsive to changes and opportunities affecting their business. In addition, large-capitalization
companies may be subject to greater regulation than small- and mid-capitalization companies.
|
| · Concentration risk |
· Concentration
risk: The fund will concentrate its investments (i.e.,
invest more than 25% its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately
the same extent that the index is concentrated. To the extent the fund concentrates in a particular
industry or group of industries, it will be more susceptible to economic conditions and risks affecting
those industries.
|
| · Information technology companies risk |
· Information
technology companies risk: The information technology sector has been
among the most volatile sectors of the stock market. Information technology companies involve greater
risk because their revenue and/or earnings tend to be less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing
significant losses) and their share prices tend to be more volatile. Certain information technology
companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or may depend on a limited
management group. In addition, these companies are strongly affected by worldwide technological developments,
and their products and services may not be economically successful or may quickly become outdated. Investor
perception may play a greater role in determining the day-to-day value of information technology stocks
than it does in other sectors. Fund investments may decline dramatically in value if anticipated products
or services are delayed or cancelled.
|
| · Issuer risk |
· Issuer risk: A security's
market value may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management
performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's products or services, or factors
that affect the issuer's industry, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive
conditions within an industry.
|
| · REIT risk |
· REIT risk: Investments
in REITs expose the fund to risks similar to investing directly in real estate. REITs are characterized
as equity REITs, mortgage REITs and hybrid REITs, which combine the characteristics of both equity and
mortgage REITs. Equity REITs, which may include operating or finance companies, own real estate directly
and the value of, and income earned by, the REITs depends upon the income of the underlying properties
and the rental income they earn. Equity REITs also can realize capital gains (or losses) by selling
properties that have appreciated (or depreciated) in value. Mortgage REITs can make construction, development
or long-term mortgage loans and are sensitive to the credit quality of the borrower. Mortgage REITs
derive their income from interest payments on such loans. Hybrid REITs generally hold both ownership
interests and mortgage interests in real estate. The value of securities issued by REITs is affected
by tax and regulatory requirements and by perceptions of management skill. They also may be affected
by general economic conditions and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers or
tenants, self-liquidation at an economically disadvantageous time, and the possibility of failing to
qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable U.S. or foreign law and/or to maintain exempt status
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act). To the extent a REIT owns properties
of, or makes loans to, companies concentrated in a particular industry or geographic region, the REIT
will also be subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. When the fund invests in a REIT,
shareholders of the fund will bear indirectly their proportionate share of the expenses of the REIT in
addition to expenses of the fund.
|
| · Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers risk |
· Authorized participants, market makers and
liquidity providers risk: The fund has a limited number of financial
institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, which are responsible for the creation and redemption
activity for the fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity
providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, fund shares may trade
at a material discount to net asset value and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit
the business or otherwise become unable or unwilling to process creation and/or redemption orders and
no other Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other
entities step forward to perform their functions.
|
| · Fluctuation of net asset value, share premiums and discounts risk |
· Fluctuation of net asset value, share premiums
and discounts risk: As with all exchange-traded funds, fund shares may be bought
and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of fund shares in the secondary
market may differ from the fund's daily net asset value per share and there may be times when the market
price of the shares is more than the net asset value per share (premium) or less than the net asset value
per share (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market
declines.
|
| · Trading issues risk |
· Trading issues risk: Although
fund shares are listed for trading on an exchange and may be listed or traded on other U.S. and non-U.S.
stock exchanges as well, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such fund shares
will develop or be maintained. Trading in fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for
reasons that, in the view of the listing exchange, make trading in fund shares inadvisable. In addition,
trading in fund shares on an exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility
pursuant to exchange "circuit breaker" rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the
listing exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue to be met or will remain
unchanged or that fund shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange.
|
| · Market risk |
· Market
risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political,
regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors,
industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity
in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely
affect the fund. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and
conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different
country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments
adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide.
Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters,
the spread of infectious illness and other public health issues, or other events could have a significant
impact on the fund and its investments. To the extent the fund may overweight its investments in certain
countries, companies, industries or sectors, such positions will increase the fund's exposure to risk
of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors.
|
| · Non-diversification risk |
· Non-diversification
risk: The fund is non-diversified and, therefore, the fund's performance may be more
vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible
to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.
|
| · New fund risk |
· New
fund risk: The fund is newly organized with limited operating history
and there can be no assurance that the fund will grow to or maintain sufficient assets to achieve investment
and trading efficiencies.
