30-day SEC yield is similar to a yield to maturity for the entire portfolio. The formula is designated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Absent any expense cap arrangement noted above, the SEC yields may have been lower. A negative 30-Day SEC yield results when a Fund’s accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund’s actual rate of income earned and distributed by the fund and therefore, a per-share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.

*Distribution Rate (annualized) is calculated by taking the most recent distribution and multiplying it by 12 to get an annualized total and then dividing the total by the net asset value on the last business day of the most recently completed month prior to the distribution. There is no assurance that the ETF will always be able to pay distributions of a particular size and past distributions are not indicative of future distributions. Distributions are historical, will fluctuate, including in response to tax requirements, and are not guaranteed. This data is provided for informational purposes only. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return.

Weighted Average Duration can be a useful tool in measuring the price sensitivity of the portfolio to changes in interest rates and measures the % change in price for a 100 bps of shift in interest rates. Unlike other measures of duration, average effective duration takes into account any optionalities (e.g. whether the instrument is callable at a certain price) embedded within each security in the portfolio. Generally, the larger the duration, the more sensitive the portfolio will be to a change in interest rates. Instruments with higher effective durations often carry more risk and have higher price volatility than those with lower durations.

Weighted Average Maturity is the expected average life to worst or in other words the par-weighted average time (in years) to principal repayment for securitized assets or the time (in years) to probable call/put for non-securitized assets.

Net Asset Value is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the Fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF 's intraday trading value. ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Premium/Discount: The amount the Fund’s closing price is trading above or below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. When the Fund’s closing price is greater than the Fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “premium” and the percentage is expressed as a positive number. When the Fund’s closing price is less than the Fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “discount” and the percentage is expressed as a negative number.

30 Day Bid/Ask Spread: The median bid-ask spread (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth) is calculated by identifying the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") for each Fund as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days and dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the NBBO. The median of those values is identified.

30-Day Average Volume (Shares): The average number of shares traded in a security across all U.S. exchanges over the last 30 calendar days. Because ETFs trade like stocks at current market prices, shareholders may pay more than a Fund’s NAV when purchasing fund shares and may receive less than a Fund’s NAV when selling Fund shares.

Net expense ratio represents the total annual operating expenses that shareholders pay (after the effect of fee waivers). The Fund’s investment manager has contractually undertaken to waive and/or reimburse certain fees and expenses of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses (excluding interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes including any expenses relating to tax reclaims, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, and extraordinary expenses, if any) of the Fund are limited to 0.39% of average net assets until 10/31/2025 (after taking into account the Fee Waiver discussed in Footnote 2 below) and 0.49% of average net assets from 11/1/2025 to 10/31/2027 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fund has agreed that it will repay the Manager for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for the Fund provided that repayment does not cause annual Operating Expenses to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived and/or the expenses were reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays the Manager, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which the Manager incurred the expense.

The Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its management fee by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (“Fee Waiver”). The undertaking lasts until 10/31/2025 and may not be terminated during its term without the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Fee Waiver is not subject to repayment under the expense limitation arrangement described above and will not reduce expenses below the expense limitation arrangement described above.
