This ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This ETF will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

 - You may have to pay more money to trade the ETF’s shares. This ETF will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.

 - The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of the ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this ETF compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.

 - These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions.

 - The ETF will publish on its website each day a “Proxy Portfolio” designed to help trading in shares of the ETF. While the Proxy Portfolio includes some of the ETF’s holdings, it is not the ETF’s actual portfolio.

The differences between this ETF and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETF secret, this ETF may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETF’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETF’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the ETF’s performance. For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the ETF, see the Principal Risks section of the prospectus.

SEP & SIMPLE IRAs tax FAQs

Why doesn’t the amount shown on Form 5498 match the amount of my employer contributions and salary deferrals for my SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA?

SEP and SIMPLE IRA contributions reported on Form 5498 were received in your account during the calendar year.

It is an IRS requirement that all contributions to a SEP or SIMPLE IRA be reported on the Form 5498 for the year they are deposited to the account, regardless of the year for which they are intended. It is the SEP or SIMPLE account owner's responsibility to report to the IRS for the year in which the contribution should apply.

If I take a distribution from my SIMPLE IRA before age 59½, is there a penalty for early withdrawal?

Generally, distributions from any IRA before age 59½ are subject to a 10% IRS early withdrawal penalty unless an exception applies. If a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA is taken within two years of the date of your first contribution to the SIMPLE IRA, the distribution is subject to a 25% early withdrawal penalty instead of the 10% early withdrawal penalty. After two years, if the early withdrawal penalty still applies, it reverts to 10%.

Distributions taken within the first two years of participation will be indicated with code S in Box 7 on your Form 1099-R.
