Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. This ETF seeks to generally track the investment results of an index; however the Fund may underperform, outperform or be more volatile than the referenced index. In addition, because the Index selects securities for inclusion based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that don't use these criteria. The value of equity securities may decline significantly over short or extended periods of time. Value stocks may not be fully recognized by the market and be undervalued. Because it invests primarily in mid-capitalization stocks, the Fund may be subject to greater volatility than those that invest in larger companies, but may be less volatile than investments in smaller companies. These and other risk considerations are described in detail in the Fund's prospectus.
Responsible investing incorporates Environmental Social Governance (ESG) factors that may affect exposure to issuers, sectors, industries, limiting the type and number of investment opportunities available, which could result in excluding investments that perform well.

MSCI ESG Quality Score ("Quality Score") measures the ability of underlying holdings to manage key medium to long-term risks and opportunities arising from environmental, social, and governance factors. The Quality Score is calculated as the weighted average of the underlying holdings' ESG Scores. The Quality Score is provided on a 0-10 score, with 0 and 10 being the respective lowest and highest possible fund scores. MSCI rates underlying holdings according to their exposure to 37 industry specific ESG risks and their ability to manage those risks relative to peers. Carbon Intensity Score is measured in tons CO2/$M sales. Since companies with higher carbon intensity are likely to face more exposure to carbon related market and regulatory risks, this metric indicates a fund’s exposure to potential climate change-related risks relative to other funds or a benchmark. To be included in MSCI Fund Metrics, 65% of the fund’s gross weight must come from securities covered by MSCI ESG Research, the fund’s holdings date must be less than one year old, and the fund must have at least ten securities.
