Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. ETF shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on price of the last reported trade on the fund’s primary exchange. If you trade your shares at another time, your return may differ.

Returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Performance for periods greater than one year is annualized.

Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements were in place for some or all periods shown, without which, fund performance would have been lower.

Net expense ratio reflects the contractual waiver and/or reimbursement of management fees through October 31, 2020.

High, double-digit returns are highly unusual and cannot be sustained. Investors should be aware that these returns were primarily achieved during favorable market conditions.

Carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. Download a prospectus or summary prospectus containing this and other important information. Read it carefully before investing.

All investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.

The Fund has the same risks as the underlying securities traded on the exchange throughout the day. Redemptions are limited, and commissions are often charged on each trade. ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. 

The Fund invests in securities included in, or representative of securities included in, the Index, regardless of their investment merits. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Index.

International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations.

Investments concentrated in an industry or group of industries may face more risks and exhibit higher volatility than investments that are more broadly diversified over industries or sectors.

Investments in aerospace and defense companies may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies and spending as well as adverse economic conditions and industry consolidation.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a large portion of its assets in a small number of issuers. Non-diversified funds may be more susceptible to economic or credit risks than diversified funds.

The value of your investment is also subject to geopolitical risks such as wars, terrorism, environmental disasters, and public health crises; the risk of technology malfunctions or disruptions; and the responses to such events by governments and/or individual companies.
