o |
Not Individually Redeemable.
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the ETF at
NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” You may incur
brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation
Unit. |
o |
Trading Issues. An active trading
market for the ETF’s shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading in
Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for
reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares
inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be
no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of
the Exchange. If the ETF’s shares are traded outside a
collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions
that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an
agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the ETF’s
shares. |
o |
Cash Purchases and Redemptions. To the
extent Creation Units are purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants
in cash instead of in-kind, the ETF will incur certain costs such as
brokerage expenses and taxable gains and losses. These costs could be
imposed on the ETF and impact the ETF’s NAV if not fully offset by
transaction fees paid by the Authorized
Participants. |
o |
Market Price Variance Risk. The
market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and
supply and demand for Shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged
by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that
trade the particular security. There may be times when the market
price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may
trade at a discount to NAV. |

• |
In
times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market
making in shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which can lead to
differences between the market value of ETF shares and the ETF’s net asset
value. |
• |
To
the extent Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to
process creations or redemptions and no other Authorized Participant can
step in to do so, there may be a significantly reduced trading market in
the ETF’s shares, which can lead to differences between the market value
of ETF shares and the ETF’s net asset
value. |
• |
The
market price for the ETF’s shares may deviate from the ETF’s net asset
value, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that
investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less for ETF
shares than the ETF’s net asset value, which is reflected in the bid and
ask price for ETF shares or in the closing
price. |
• |
When
all or a portion of an ETF’s underlying securities trade in a market that
is closed when the market for the ETF’s shares is open, there may be
changes from the last quote of the closed market and the quote from the
ETF’s domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the
market value of the ETF’s shares and the ETF’s net asset
value. |
• |
In
stressed market conditions, the market for the ETF’s shares may become
less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the ETF’s
portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the ETF’s shares
may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the ETF’s
shares and the ETF’s net asset value. |

Approval
of Investment Advisory Agreement |
(i) |
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the
responsibilities of the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Advisor to the
ETF including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory
services since inception; assuring compliance with the investment
objectives, policies, and limitations; and its coordination of services
among the service providers. The Trustees evaluated the Advisor’s
staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and
experience of the Advisor’s personnel; the Advisor’s compliance program;
and the Advisor’s financial condition. It was noted that there had not
been change in management. |
(ii) |
Fees
and Expenses. The Trustees compared the advisory fee of the ETF
to other comparable funds and noted it was below that of both the peer
group and category averages. Following this comparison, and upon further
consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board concluded that
the fees to be paid to the Advisor were not unreasonable in relation to
the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor and that
they reflected charges that were within a range of what could have been
negotiated at arm’s length. |
(iii) |
Profitability.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s profitability analysis in connection with
its management of the ETF over the past twelve months. The Board
noted that the Advisor realized a very small profit for the prior twelve
months. The Board considered the profit realized and concluded that
Advisor’s level of profitability was not
excessive. |

(iv) |
Economies
of Scale. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed the ETF’s
operational history and noted that the size of the ETF had not provided an
opportunity to realize economies of scale. The Trustees then reviewed the
fee arrangements for breakpoints or other provisions that would allow
shareholders to benefit from economies of scale in the future as the ETF
grows. The Trustees determined that the maximum management fee would stay
the same regardless of the asset levels. It was pointed out that
breakpoints in the advisory fee could be reconsidered in the
future. |
(i) |
Nature,
Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the
responsibilities of the Sub-Advisor under the Investment Sub-Advisory
Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the
Sub-Advisor to the ETF including, without limitation, the quality of its
investment advisory services since the Sub-Advisor began managing the ETF
(including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio
securities); the Sub-Advisor’s procedures for formulating investment
recommendations; assuring compliance with the investment objectives,
policies, and limitations; coordination of services for the ETF among the
service providers; and the Sub-Advisors efforts to promote the ETF, grow
the assets, and assist in the distribution of shares (although no portion
of the investment sub-advisory fee was targeted to pay distribution
expenses). The Trustees evaluated the Sub-Advisor’s staffing,
personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the
Sub-Advisor’s personnel; compliance program; and the Sub-Advisor’s
financial condition. It was noted that there had been no change in
management. |
(ii) |
Performance.
The Trustees compared the performance of the ETF with the performance of
comparable funds with similar strategies managed by other investment
advisers, and applicable peer group data (e.g., Morningstar/Lipper peer
group average). The Trustees noted that the ETF outperformed the peer
group, Lipper category, and benchmark index for the 1-year period. They
further noted that the ETF outperformed the Lipper category for the since
inception period but underperformed the peer group and the benchmark index
for the since inception period noting the explanation provided that the
underperformance was because the category uses lower quality assets that
are expected to generate higher returns but take higher risks. The
Trustees also considered the consistency of the Sub-Advisor’s management
of the ETF with its investment objective, policies, and
limitations. |

(iii) |
Fees
and Expenses. The Trustees first noted the management fee for
the ETF under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted
that there were no other accounts managed by the Sub-Advisor to which to
compare fees, but the Trustees had previously determined as part of it
consideration of the advisory agreement with the Advisor that the overall
advisory fee paid by the ETF was not unreasonable in relation to the
services provided. Upon further consideration and discussion of the
foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to Sub-Advisor
were not unreasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the
services provided and that they reflected charges that were within a range
of what could have been negotiated at arm’s
length. |
(iv) |
Profitability.
The Board reviewed the Sub-Advisor’s profitability analysis in connection
with its management of the ETF over the past twelve months. The Board
noted that the Sub-Advisor had realized a very small profit for the prior
twelve months of operations. The Trustees discussed the profitability
level of the Sub-Advisor, noting, among other factors and circumstances,
that the level of profitability was not
excessive. |
(v) |
Economies
of Scale. In this regard, the Trustees reviewed the ETF’s
operational history and noted that the size of the ETF had not provided an
opportunity to realize economies of scale. The Trustees then reviewed the
ETF’s fee arrangements for breakpoints or other provisions that would
allow the ETF’s shareholders to benefit from economies of scale in the
future as the ETF grows. It was pointed out that breakpoints in the
advisory fee could be reconsidered in the
future. |
