Fund Description

div style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The Nuclear Energy Index includes equity securities and depositary receipts issued by companies involved in uranium and nuclear energy. /spanspan style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"To be initially eligible for the Nuclear Energy Index, companies must (a) generate at least 50% of their revenues from (i) uranium mining; (ii) the construction, engineering and maintenance of nuclear power facilities and nuclear reactors; (iii) the production of electricity from nuclear sources; or (iv) equipment and technology or services to the nuclear power industry or (b) have at least 50% of their mineral resources related to uranium. Such companies may include medium-capitalization companies and foreign issuers/spanspan style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%". As of December 31, 2025, the Nuclear Energy Index included 25 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $464 million and $110.4 billion and a weighted average market /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"capitalization of $22.1 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders./span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Nuclear Energy Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Nuclear Energy Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the Nuclear Energy Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the Nuclear Energy Index. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt"span style="color:#323232;font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act of 1940”), and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Nuclear Energy Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2025, the energy, industrials and utilities sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund./span/div
