Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, ICE Data Indices, LLC (the Index Provider or ICE Data) compiles, maintains and calculates the Underlying Index, which is designed to track the performance of the shorter maturity subset of the U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) market, represented by TIPS with a remaining maturity of at least one month and less than five years. TIPS are U.S. dollar-denominated, U.S. government debt securities that are publicly offered for sale in the United States. TIPS are inflation-linked, meaning that their principal and interest payments are tied to inflation (as measured by the Consumer Price Index). TIPS are issued by the U.S. Treasury, and their payments are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. To qualify for inclusion in the Underlying Index, securities must: (i) have at least one month but less than five years remaining term to final maturity; (ii) have at least 18 months to maturity when issued; (iii) interest and principal payments tied to inflation; (iv) have a minimum amount outstanding of $1 billion; and (v) meet certain additional inclusion criteria detailed below. Original issue zero coupon bonds are included in the Underlying Index, and the amounts outstanding of qualifying coupon securities are not reduced by any portions that have been stripped. Underlying Index constituents are market capitalization weighted. As of December 31, 2025, the Underlying Index was comprised of 26 constituents. The Fund employs a full replication methodology in seeking to track the Underlying Index, meaning that the Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising its Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings in the Underlying Index. Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of the value of its net assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying Index reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. Show less
