The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to replicate the portfolio of the HILB Underlying Index through investments in equity securities, including common shares traded on local exchanges, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). ADRs and GDRs represent ownership interests in shares of foreign companies that are held in financial institution custodial accounts, and are traded on exchanges in the United States and around the world.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in emerging markets companies included in the HILB Underlying Index and generally expects to be substantially invested at such times, with at least 95% of its net assets invested in these securities. The Fund invests in the constituent companies of the HILB Underlying Index, which may include small and medium capitalized companies (“small cap” and “mid cap” companies, respectively), domiciled in emerging markets countries having a market capitalization of at least $250 million at the time of purchase. The HILB Underlying Index is a dividend yield weighted stock market index comprised of a representative sample of 30 emerging markets companies that INDXX, LLC determines to have lower relative volatility (i.e., low beta) than the broad market benchmark indices of the local exchanges in which the component securities trade. The components of the HILB Underlying Index will have also paid dividends consistently over the last three years. The HILB Underlying Index was developed to provide a lower beta, and a greater dividend yield (i.e., high income), than the MSCI Emerging Market Index, although there is no guarantee that this result will be obtained. The Fund does not seek temporary defensive positions when equity markets decline or appear to be overvalued.

The Fund intends to replicate the constituent securities of the HILB Underlying Index as closely as possible using ADRs, GDRs or ordinary local shares. In certain circumstances, when it may not be possible or practicable to fully implement a replication strategy, the Fund may utilize a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would hold a significant number of the component securities of the HILB Underlying Index, but may not track the index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire index. Active market trading of Fund Shares may cause more frequent creations or redemptions of Creation Units, which, if not conducted in-kind, could increase the rate of portfolio turnover and the Fund’s tracking error versus the HILB Underlying Index.

The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the HILB Underlying Index is concentrated. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund can.

Based on the number of Indian securities that are included in the HILB Underlying Index, the Fund may invest its assets in a wholly owned subsidiary in Mauritius (the “Subsidiary”), which in turn, invests at least 90% of its assets in Indian securities, and to some extent ADRs and GDRs. This investment structure enables the Fund to obtain benefits under a tax treaty between Mauritius and India.
