5Index data prior to March 18, 2013 reflects that of the DAXglobal Agribusiness Index (DXAG). From March 18, 2013 forward, the index data reflects that of the Fund's underlying index, MVIS Global Agribusiness Index (MVMOOTR). Index history which includes periods prior to March 18, 2013 reflects a blend of the performance of DXAG and MVMOOTR 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. 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.

All indices are unmanaged and include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not reflect the payment of transaction costs, advisory fees or expenses that are associated with an investment in the Fund. An index's performance is not illustrative of the Fund's performance. Indices are not securities in which investments can be made.
