The Fund seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Index. The Index, designed by IPO research firm Renaissance Capital International, LLC (the Index Provider), is a portfolio of companies that have recently completed an initial public offering (IPO) and are listed on a U.S. exchange. IPOs are a category of unseasoned equities under-represented in core equity indices. The Index is designed to capture approximately 80% of the total market capitalization of newly public companies. At each quarterly rebalance, new IPOs are added to the index and companies that have been public for three years are removed. Constituents are weighted by tradable float with individual weights capped at 10%. The Index has been constructed using a transparent and rules-based methodology. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Index. Depositary receipts representing securities that comprise the Index may count towards compliance with the Funds 80% policy. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in certain futures, options, and swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, as well as in common stocks not included in the Index but which will help the Fund track the Index. Convertible securities and depositary receipts not included in the Index may be used by the Fund in seeking performance that corresponds to its Index and in managing cash flows.
