About Morningstar® Indexes Morningstar is known by investment professionals globally for its thorough, objective research and astute market insight. The Morningstar team of researchers applies this same rigorous, discerning approach when constructing Morningstar Indexes.

Morningstar’s broad-market indexes represent 97% of the market, tracking thousands of liquid, investable stocks-not just the largest ones. Sector indexes also pull from this wide body of securities, providing depth and diversity within each carefully categorized sector.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Returns less than one year are not annualized.

Before investing in any Focus™ Morningstar ETF, you should carefully consider the applicable fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the fund prospectus which can be downloaded from this website. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Concentrated Fund investments will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors.

Shares are bought and sold at market price on an exchange not NAV as a mutual fund and are not individually redeemed by the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times.

An investment in the Funds is subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. Sector funds tend to be riskier and more volatile than the broad market because they are less diversified. Investing in mid and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies. The Funds are new and there can be no assurance that active trading markets for the Shares will develop or be maintained.

ETFs are subject to commission costs each time a “buy” or “sell” is executed. Depending on the amount of trading activity, the low costs of ETFs may be outweighed by commissions and related trading costs.
