PERFORMANCE DISCLOSURE

Charts and graphs are provided for illustrative purposes. These charts and graphs reflect hypothetical historical, or “back-tested” performance. Back-tested performance is not actual performance but is hypothetical. It should be noted that the historic calculations of an index may change from month to month based on revisions to the underlying economic data used in the calculation of the index. Past performance of the Index is not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the Index may not result in performance commensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test period does not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Another limitation of using back-tested information is that the back-tested calculation is generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Back-tested information reflects the application of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities, or markets in general, which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in the preparation of the Index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance.

The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investable assets/securities. Solactive AG maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause the actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown.

FOREIGN INVESTMENT DISCLOSURE

ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) are negotiable certificates issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares (or one share) in a foreign stock that is traded on a U.S. exchange. ADRs are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the underlying security held by a U.S. financial institution overseas. ADRs help to reduce administration and duty costs that would otherwise be levied on each transaction.

The next five largest markets are South Korea, Mexico, Indonesia, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. Iran is also considered an emerging market.
