Conversely, the fund seeks to underweight or exclude securities it expects to have lower returns, such as securities of larger companies with lower levels of profitability and less attractive value characteristics./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt"span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"In seeking to identify small capitalization companies with higher profitability and value characteristics, the portfolio managers use reported and/or estimated company financials and market data including, but not limited to, shares outstanding, book value and its components, cash flows from operations, and accruals. The portfolio managers define “value characteristics” as adjusted book/price ratio (though other price to fundamental ratios may be considered). The portfolio managers define “profitability” as adjusted cash from operations to book value ratio (though other ratios may be considered). The portfolio managers may also consider other factors when selecting a security, including industry classification, the past performance of the security relative to other securities, its liquidity, its float, tax, governance or cost considerations, among others./span/divdivspan style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"When portfolio managers identify securities with the desired market capitalization, profitability, value, and past performance characteristics, they seek to include and emphasize these securities in the broadly diversified portfolio. To determine the weight of a security within the portfolio, the portfolio managers use the market capitalization of the security relative to that of other eligible securities as a baseline, then overweight or underweight the security based on the characteristics described above. The portfolio managers may deemphasize or dispose of a security if it no longer has the desired market capitalization, profitability, or value characteristics. When determining whether to deemphasize or dispose of a security, the portfolio managers will also consider, among other things, relative past performance, costs, and taxes. The portfolio managers review the criteria for inclusion in the portfolio on a regular basis to maintain a focus on the desired broad set of emerging market companies. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline:true;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"Under normal market conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of small cap companies related to emerging market countries. The fund considers an emerging market country to be any country other than a developed country. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline:true;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"However, the fund generally intends to focus its investments in a subset of the emerging market countries that comprise the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index. The countries comprising the index will change from time to time, but as of September 30, 2024 include: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. To determine whether a company is related to an emerging market country, the portfolio managers will consider various factors, including where the company is headquartered, where the company’s principal operations are located, where a majority of the company’s revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located, the country in which the company was legally organized, and whether the company is in the fund’s benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index. The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending on the circumstances in a given case. The fund defines small capitalization companies as those with market capitalizations not greater than that of the largest company in the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index. Though market capitalizations will change from time to time, as of September 30, 2024, the market capitalization of the largest company in the MSCI Emerging Markets Small Cap Index was approximately $9.0 billion./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt"span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The fund may invest in securities that are denominated in foreign currencies and may also invest in foreign securities that are represented in the U.S. and other securities markets by American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), and other similar depositary arrangements. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:3pt;margin-top:3pt"span style="-sec-ix-redline:true;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The portfolio managers continually analyze market and financial data to make buy, sell, and hold decisions. When deciding whether to buy or sell a security, and how and when to implement a trade, the portfolio managers may consider the expected implementation costs and tax consequences of the trade in an attempt to gain trading efficiencies, avoid unnecessary risk, minimize tax impact, and/or enhance fund performance./span/div
