The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (Order) and does not publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a Tracking Basket, which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the funds actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the funds investments are selected (Strategy Components); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (Representative ETFs); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see Additional information about the fund Tracking basket structure in the prospectus. The fund also publishes each business day on its website the Tracking Basket Weight Overlap, which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business days Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the funds calculation of net asset value per share at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the funds actual portfolio in percentage terms.
