The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed and maintained by Solactive AG (the Index Provider), which is an organization that is independent of, and unaffiliated with, the Fund and Themes Management Company, LLC, the Funds investment adviser (the Adviser). The Index The Index is designed to provide exposure to companies that are active in the gold mining industry and is denominated in U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2025, the Index was comprised of 25 companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $2.3 billion and $85.1 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of approximately $16.6 billion. In constructing or adjusting the Index, the Index Provider identifies a universe of companies (the Index Universe) that, on Selection Days (as defined below), 1) are listed on a regulated stock exchange in the form of shares tradable for foreign investors without restrictions, 2) have significant business operations in the gold mining industry, evidenced by having at least 90% of the companys revenues generated in gold mining for companies included in the Index on the Selection Day (an Index Component) or at least 95% of the companys revenues generated in gold mining for companies that are not Index Components (Gold Mining Companies), 3) have a free float market capitalization of at least $750 million for companies which are Index Components and of at least $1 billion for companies which are not Index Components, 4) have an average daily trading volume in the last 3 months of at least $1 million for companies which are Index Components and $2 million for companies which are not Index Components, and 5) have an average monthly trading volume of at least 75,000 shares in each of the last 6 months (Liquidity Criterion). The Index Provider may decide to include companies in the Index Universe which do not fulfil the Liquidity Criterion. The companies in the Index Universe are ranked according to their free float market capitalization. The company with the largest free float market capitalization is assigned rank number 1, the company with the second-largest free float market capitalization rank number 2etc. For clarification, rank number 1 is higher than rank number 2. The companies with the highest ranks are then chosen as Index Components and the new index composition determined this way is valid starting the business day immediately following the last business day in February (Adjustment Day). Selection Day is the business day 10 business days before the Adjustment Day. The minimum number of Index Components is 20 and the maximum number of Index Components is 30. The Index Provider may decide to increase the maximum number of Index Components on a Selection Day. In case the rank assigned to a company which is an existing Index Component on a Selection Day is not sufficient to be selected as an Index Component, it shall only be removed from the Index if its rank exceeds the maximum number of Index Components by more than 10 ranks. The company with the lowest rank which is selected as an Index Component on this Selection Day but which is not currently an Index Component on the Selection Day is not included in the Index in this case. The determination of the Index Universe and the selection of Index Components is made by the Index Provider based on its proprietary methodology. The Index Components may change over time. The composition of the Index is ordinarily adjusted once a year on Adjustment Day after the close of business. The composition of the Index is reviewed on the Selection Day and the appropriate decision made is announced. On each Selection Day and on the business day five business days before the last business day in August (Reweighting Day), each Index Component of the Index is weighted proportionally according to its free float market capitalization. The percentage weight of each Index Component is capped at 4.75% on the Selection Days and on the business days five business days before the Reweighting Days. The excess weight is allocated proportionally to all Index Components whose percentage weight is not capped at 4.75%. The new index composition and weightings are implemented after the close of trading on the Adjustment Day and Reweighting Day. The cumulative Percentage Weight of the Index Components which do not fulfil the Liquidity Criterion is capped at 10% on the Adjustment Days and on the business day five business days before the Reweighting Days. The excess weight is allocated proportionally to all Index Components whose Percentage Weight is not capped. These caps represent general guidelines set by the Index Provider and, at times, the Fund may hold positions that exceed the caps based on market activity and/or timing of Reweighting Day. The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in the securities that comprise the Index and in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs) based on the securities in the Index. The Fund will also invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of Gold Mining Companies and in ADRs and GDRs based on such securities. Such securities may include those of small-, mid- and large-capitalization companies and foreign issuers. The Funds 80% Policies are non-fundamental and require 60 days prior written notice to shareholders before each can be changed. The Fund uses a passive or indexing approach. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Indexing seeks to achieve lower costs and better after-tax performance by aiming to keep portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportion as in the Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to replicate the Index, in instances in which a security in the Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Funds performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better. If the Fund uses a replication strategy, it can be expected to have greater correlation to the Index than if it uses a representative sampling strategy. The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. To the extent the Index is concentrated (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is expected to be concentrated in that industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2025, securities of companies in the gold mining industry and materials sector represented a significant portion of the Index. The degree to which components of the Index represent certain sectors or industries may change over time. The Fund may lend securities representing up to one-third of the value of the Funds total assets (including the value of any collateral received). Show less
