Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the FTSE Russia Capped Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. The FTSE Russia Capped Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index maintained and calculated by FTSE Russell with a capping methodology applied quarterly to issuer weights so that no single issuer of a component exceeds 25% of the FTSE Russia Capped Index weight, and all issuers with weights above 5% do not cumulatively exceed 50% of the FTSE Russia Capped Index’s weight. The FTSE Russia Capped Index is based on the FTSE Russia Unclassified Index and is designed to measure the performance of Russian large- and mid-capitalization stocks. FTSE Russell determines eligible securities for the FTSE Russia Capped Index based on

measures such as the company’s place of incorporation, listing country, investor protection regulations present in the country of incorporation, tax domicile, location of headquarters/factors of production and currency of denomination. As of May 31, 2022, the FTSE Russia Capped Index was comprised of 37 securities with capitalizations ranging from $569 million to $110.25 billion.

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Russia Capped Index. The Fund may use either a replication strategy or representative sampling strategy. Under a replication strategy, the Fund will replicate the component securities of the FTSE Russia Capped Index as closely as possible (i.e., invest in all of the component securities in their respective weightings in the FTSE Russia Capped Index). However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to replicate the FTSE Russia Capped Index. In these circumstances, the Fund may use a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would invest in what it believes to be a representative sample of the component securities of the FTSE Russia Capped Index, but may not track the FTSE Russia Capped Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire FTSE Russia Capped Index. Under the representative sampling technique, the investment manager will select securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to that of the FTSE Russia Capped Index, including securities that resemble those included in the FTSE Russia Capped Index in terms of risk factors, performance attributes and other characteristics, such as market capitalization and industry weightings.

The Fund is a "non-diversified" fund, which means it generally invests a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of one or more issuers and invests overall in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.

The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the FTSE Russia Capped Index is concentrated. As of May 31, 2022, the FTSE Russia Capped Index was concentrated in the oil, gas and consumable fuels industry.
