Remember that in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The
following summarizes the principal risks of investing in the Fund.
| ● | Equity
Securities Risk. The Fund invests in common stock, which subjects the Fund and its shareholders
to the risks associated with common stock investing. Overall stock market risks may affect
the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest
rate levels, and political events affect the securities markets. When the value of the Fund’s
investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose
money. |
| ● | Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. An exchange or market may close or impose a market trading halt
or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities
or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the Fund from buying or selling
certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable
to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur
substantial trading losses. |
| ● | ETF
Structure Risk. The Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result is subject to the special
risks, including: |
| ○ | Authorized
Participant Risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption
transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants).
To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with
creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant
is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may be more likely
to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts or delisting.
Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for exchange traded funds (“ETFs”)
that invest in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have lower trading
volumes. |
| ○ | Not
Individually Redeemable. Shares are not individually redeemable to retail investors and
may be redeemed only by the ETF only to Authorized Participants at NAV in large blocks known
as “Creation Units.” An Authorized Participant may incur brokerage costs purchasing
enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit. |
| ○ | Trading
Issues. An active trading market for the Shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading
in Shares on NASDAQ (the “Exchange”) may be halted due to market conditions or
for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as
extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet
the listing requirements of the Exchange, which may result in the trading of the Shares being
suspended or the Shares being delisted. An active trading market for the Shares may not be
developed or maintained. If the Shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system,
the number of financial institutions that can act as Authorized Participants that can post
collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Shares. |
| ○ | Market
Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes
in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a “bid ask spread” charged
by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular
security. |
| ■ | In
times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market making in the
Shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which can lead to differences between the market
value of Shares and an ETF’s NAV. |
| ■ | The
market price of the Shares may deviate from an ETF’s NAV, particularly during times
of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly
less for Shares than an ETF’s NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask price for
Shares or in the closing price. |
| ■ | When
all or a portion of an ETFs underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the
market for the Shares is open, there may be changes from the last quote of the closed market
and the quote from an ETF’s domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between
the market value of the Shares and an ETF’s NAV. |
| ■ | In
stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response
to the deteriorating liquidity of an ETF’s portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity
of the Shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the Shares and
an ETF’s NAV. |
| ● | Futures
Risk. Investments in futures involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets
invested in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Fund. This risk could
cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Futures contracts may become
mispriced or improperly valued when compared to the adviser’s expectation and may not
produce the desired investment results. |
| ● | Large-Capitalization
Securities Risk. Large-capitalization companies usually cannot respond as quickly as
smaller companies to competitive challenges, and their growth rates tend to lag the growth
rates of well-managed smaller companies during strong economic periods. |
| ● | Management
Risk. Management risk is the risk that the investment process used by the Fund’s
portfolio manager could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment goal and cause an investment
in the Fund to lose value. Given the Fund is going to attempt to tract the Index, the Fund
does not follow traditional methods of active investment management. |
| ● | Market
Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets
increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may
adversely impact issuers in a different region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s
portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates,
global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics,
terrorism, tariffs, trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental
actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market
volatility and may have long term effects on the U.S. financial market. It is difficult to
predict when similar events affecting the U.S. financial market may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant
adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could
lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods
during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset
classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have
the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions,
you could lose your entire investment. |
Options
Risk. When the Fund purchases an option on a security or index it may lose the entire premium paid if the underlying security or
index does not decrease in value. The Fund may also be exposed to default by the option writer who may be unwilling or unable to perform
its contractual obligations to the Fund.
