International Equity Research ETF

TIER

Risks: All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. Foreign investing: Non-U.S. securities tend to be more volatile and have lower overall liquidity and trading volume than investments in U.S. securities and may lose value because of adverse local, political, social, or economic developments overseas, or due to changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Emerging markets: Investments in emerging market countries are subject to greater risk and overall volatility than investments in the U.S. and other developed markets. Large-cap stocks: Securities issued by large-cap companies tend to be less volatile than securities issued by small- and mid-cap companies. However, large-cap companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful small- and mid-cap companies, especially during strong economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges. Index correlation: Because the fund weights each sector and industry similar to the Index, the fund’s ability to broadly reallocate its portfolio due to changes in outlook for a particular sector or industry is less than other actively managed funds with greater flexibility to overweight or underweight certain industries due to changes in market conditions. As a result, the fund’s performance may lag the performance of other actively managed funds with more flexible investment programs. See the prospectus for more detail on the fund's principal risks.

Market value of holdings shown are illustrative and may differ from the values used to calculate the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). For information on valuation of portfolio assets used to calculate NAV, please see the prospectus.

ETFs are bought and sold at market prices, not NAV. Investors generally incur the cost of the spread between the prices at which shares are bought and sold. Buying and selling shares may result in brokerage commissions which will reduce returns.
