ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk and will fluctuate in market value. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate in value, so that when shares are sold or redeemed, they may be worth more or less than when they were purchased. Although shares may be bought or sold on an exchange through any brokerage account, shares are not individually redeemable from the fund. Investors may acquire shares and tender them for redemption through the fund in large aggregations known as creation units. Please see the fund prospectus for more details. Because of their narrow focus, sector funds tend to be more volatile than funds that diversify across many sectors and companies. Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of stocks or countries tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Index Definitions
BARCLAYS GLOBAL AGGREGATE The Global Aggregate Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment grade fixed-rate debt markets. The Global Aggregate Index contains three major components: the U.S. Aggregate (USD 300mn), the Pan-European Aggregate (EUR 300mn), and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Index (JPY 35bn). In addition to securities from these three benchmarks (94.0% of the overall Global Aggregate market value as of December 31, 2010), the Global Aggregate Index includes Global Treasury, Eurodollar (USD 300mn), Euro-Yen (JPY 25bn), Canadian (USD 300mn equivalent), and Investment Grade 144A (USD 300mn) index-eligible securities not already in the three regional aggregate indices. BARCLAYS GLOBAL TREASURY EX-U.S. CAPPED INDEX The Barclays Global Treasury Ex-U.S. Capped Index tracks fixed-rate, local currency sovereign debt of investment-grade countries outside the United States. BARCLAYS U.S. AGGREGATE CREDIT - CORPORATE - INVESTMENT GRADE The Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. corporate bonds that have a maturity of greater than or equal to 1 year. The Index is a component of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index and includes investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable, U.S. dollardenominated debt with $250 million or more par amount outstanding, issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility, and financial institutions. The Index is rebalanced monthly, on the last day business day of the month. BARCLAYS U.S. AGGREGATE GOVERNMENT - TREASURY The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bond market, which includes investment grade (must be Baa3/BBB- or higher using the middle rating of Moodys Investor Service, Inc., Standard & Poors, and Fitch Inc.) government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass through securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities that are publicly for sale in the United States. The securities in the U.S. Aggregate Index must have at least 1 year remaining to maturity and must have $250 million or more of outstanding face value. Asset backed securities must have a minimum deal size of $500 million and a minimum tranche size of $25 million. For commercial mortgage backed securities, the original aggregate transaction must have a minimum deal size of $500 million, and a minimum tranche size of $25 million; the aggregate outstanding transaction sizes must be at least $300 million to remain in the index. In addition, the securities must be U.S. dollar denominated, fixed rate, non convertible, and taxable.
