Returns quoted are past performance and do not guarantee future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment returns and principal value will vary; there may be a gain or loss when shares are sold.

Returns include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Returns greater than one year are annualized.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund.

Ordinary brokerage commissions apply and will reduce returns.
