RISK CONSIDERATIONS Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause you to lose money, including the entire principal amount that you invest. Equity Risk: The value of the securities held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. Shipping Industry Risk: As the Index is comprised of issuers in the shipping industry, the Fund is therefore focused in that industry. Accordingly, the Fund may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. Companies in the shipping industry are subject to volatile fluctuations in the price and supply of energy fuels, steel, raw materials and other products transported by containerships. In addition, changes in seaborne transportation patterns, weather patterns and events including hurricane activity, commodities prices, international politics and conflicts, port congestion, canal closures, embargoes and labor strikes can significantly affect companies involved in the maritime shipping of crude oil, dry bulk and container cargo. Foreign Investment Risk: Investing in non-U.S. issuers may involve unique risks such as currency, political, and economic risk, as well as less market liquidity, generally greater market volatility and less complete financial information than for U.S. issuers. Investment in securities of issuers based in developing or aemerging marketa countries entails all of the risks of investing in securities of non-U.S. issuers, as previously described, but to a heightened degree. As of the date of the prospectus, a significant percentage of the Index is comprised of securities of companies from Greece. To the extent that the Index is focused on securities of any one country, including the Greece, the value of the Index, and thus the Fund, will be especially affected by adverse developments in such country, including the risks described above. Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk: Investing in securities of these companies involves greater risk as their securities may be more volatile and less liquid than investing in more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall stock market. MLP Risk: Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from an investment in common stock. Holders of the units of MLPs have more limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership. There are also certain tax risks associated with an investment in units of MLPs. In addition the funds are subject to Non-Correlation Risk, Replication Management Risk, Issuer-Specific Changes, and Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Please read each Funda™s prospectus for more detailed information on these risks and considerations.
Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and ongoing expenses of any ETF carefully before investing. The prospectus or summary prospectus, if available, contains this and other relevant information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
