ETF
(the
“Fund”)
seeks
to
track
the
investment
results
of
an
index
composed
of
U.S.
large-

with
quality

as
identified
through
certain
fundamental
metrics,
as
represented
by

USA
Sector
Neutral
Quality
Index

invests
in
a
representative
sample
of
securities
included
in
the
Index
that
collectively
has
an
investment
profile
similar
to
the
Index.
Due
to
the
use
of

the

may
or
may
not
hold
all
of
the
securities
that
are
included
in
the
Index.
