The Index follows a rules-based methodology to construct its constituent securities: ? The Index universe begins with all publicly traded U.S. stocks and then screens for all companies with positive earnings over the last twelve months. ? The Index identifies the 500 largest U.S. stocks by market capitalization measured at the time the Indexs constituent securities are determined. ? The 500 stocks are weighted based on their daily standard deviation (volatility) of daily price changes over the last 180 trading days. Stocks with lower volatility receive a higher weighting and stocks with higher volatility receive a lower weighting. The Index is reconstituted every March and September (based on information as of the prior month-end) and is adjusted to limit exposure to any particular sector to 25%. The Index may include more than or fewer than 500 stocks depending on the number of companies meeting the Indexs criteria. As of September 30, 2025, the Index had a market capitalization range from $4.5 billion to $4.5 trillion. The Fund generally seeks to track the returns of the Index before fees and expenses by employing a replication strategy that seeks to hold all the stocks in the Index.
