| 1 Since ordinary brokerage commissions may apply for each buy and sell transaction, frequent trading activity may increase the cost of ETFs. |
| 2 Shares are not individually redeemable. Shares may be acquired from and tendered to the Fund in creation unit aggregations only, typically consisting of 50,000 shares. |
| 3 ETFs disclose their full portfolio holdings daily. |
| Volatility is the annualized standard deviation of index returns. |
| Beta is a measure of relative risk and the slope of regression. |
| There are risks involved with investing in ETFs, including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, including short selling and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. |
| The prices of equity securities change in response to many factors, including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. |
| Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange-rate changes, decreased market liquidity, political instability and taxation by foreign governments. |
| Investment in securities in emerging market countries involves risks not associated with investments in securities in developed countries. |
| The Funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of their assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Funds’ volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance. |

| Shares are not individually redeemable and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, typically consisting of 50,000 shares. |
| Investing in securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. |
| The fund’s use of a representative sampling approach will result in its holding a smaller number of bonds than are in the underlying Index, and may be subject to greater volatility. |
