Important Information
Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of

ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk,
fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below
the ETFs net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses
will reduce returns.
No fossil fuel reserve ownership may have an adverse
effect on a company’s profitability and, in turn, the returns of
the fund.
Concentrated investments in a particular industry or
sector may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in that industry
or sector.
Gender diversity risk: The returns on a portfolio of
securities that excludes companies that are not gender diverse may
trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes
companies that are not gender diverse.
Equity securities may fluctuate in value in response to
the activities of individual companies and general market and
economic conditions.
Passively managed funds hold a range of securities that,
in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk
