&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Objective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;The Trust seeks above-average capital appreciation
by investing in Technology Companies (as defined below). Under normal circumstances, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its assets
in Technology Companies (as defined below). Technology Companies are companies classified under the technology sector of the Global Industry
Classification Standard (GICS&#xae;). The Trust is concentrated (i.e., invests 25% or more of Trust assets) in common stocks of companies
within the information technology sector.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: bold 11pt/12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;Portfolio Selection Process.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;Our
selection process attempts to find the common stocks with the best prospects for above-average capital appreciation by identifying those
that meet our investment objectives, trade at attractive valuations, and, in our opinion, are likely to exceed market expectations of
future cash flows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;While
not a part of the Trust&#x2019;s portfolio selection process, the Trust also invests in dividend-paying securities, foreign securities,
depositary receipts and large capitalization companies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt"&gt;As
with any similar investments, there can be no assurance that the objective of the Trust will be achieved. See &#x201c;Risk Factors&#x201d;
for a discussion of the risks of investing in the Trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
