*Returns less than one year are not annualized.

**Index data prior to May 1, 2020 reflects that of the CSI 300 (CSIH0749). From May 1, 2020 forward, the index data reflects that of the Fund's underlying index, the MarketGrader China All Cap Growth Leaders Index (MGCNGRNR). Index history which includes periods prior to May 1, 2020 links the performance of CSIH0749 and MGCNGRNR and is not intended for third party use.

The table presents past performance which is no guarantee of future results and which may be lower or higher than current performance. As of October 31, 2018, index data for the CSI 300 Index (the “Index”) for all periods presented reflect the CSIH0749 stream of the Index which is denominated in USD and converted by the index provider using the “offshore” Renminbi (CNH) exchange rate. Returns reflect temporary contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the ETF incurred all expenses and fees, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.
