Fund Description

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index. The Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index is comprised of small- and medium-capitalization companies as defined by Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar” or the “Index provider”), that Morningstar determines have sustainable competitive advantages based on a proprietary methodology that considers quantitative and qualitative factors (“wide and narrow moat companies”). The quantitative
factors used by Morningstar to identify competitive advantages currently include historical and projected returns on invested capital relative to cost of capital. The qualitative factors used by Morningstar to identify competitive advantages currently include customer switching cost (i.e., the costs of customers switching to competitors), internal cost advantages, intangible assets (e.g., intellectual property and brands), network effects (i.e., whether products or services become more valuable as the number of customers grows) and efficient scale (i.e., whether the company effectively serves a limited market that potential rivals have little incentive to enter into). Wide moat companies are those that Morningstar believes will maintain their competitive advantage(s) for at least 20 years. Narrow moat companies are those that Morningstar believes will maintain their competitive advantage(s) for at least 10 years. Wide and narrow moat companies are selected from the universe of companies represented in the Morningstar® US Small-Mid Cap IndexSM (the “Parent Index”), a broad market index representing small- and medium-capitalization U.S. companies.
For purposes of the Parent Index, Morningstar considers those companies in the bottom 70% - 90% of total U.S. market cap to be medium-capitalization companies and those companies in the bottom 90% - 97% to be small-capitalization companies. The Index targets a select group of equity securities of wide and narrow moat companies, which are those companies that, according to Morningstar’s equity research team, are attractively priced based on pre-defined factors as of each index review. Morningstar utilizes a momentum screen, in which momentum represents a security’s 12-month price change. A momentum signal is used to exclude 20% of the wide and narrow moat stocks in the Parent Index with the worst 12-month momentum based on a 12-month price change of each stock. Out of the companies in the Parent Index that Morningstar determines are wide or narrow moat companies and display 12-month momentum in the top 80%, Morningstar selects companies to be included in the Index as determined by the ratio of the issuer’s common stock price to Morningstar’s estimate of fair value. Morningstar’s fair value estimates are calculated using standardized, proprietary valuation models. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
As of December 31, 2023, the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index included 98 securities of companies with a full market capitalization range of between approximately $2.53 billion and $59.20 billion and a weighted average full market capitalization of $17.82 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index is divided into two equally-weighted sub-portfolios, and each is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually on alternating quarters.
The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the MorningstarUS Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to track the MorningstarUS Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index.
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 Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of September 30, 2023, each of the industrials, information technology, consumer discretionary, financials, and health care sectors represented a significant portion of the Morningstar US Small-Mid Cap Moat Focus Index.
