All information for an index prior to its Launch Date is back-tested, based on the methodology that was in effect on the Launch Date. Back-tested
performance, which is hypothetical and not actual performance, is subject to inherent limitations because it reflects application of an Index
methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No theoretical approach can take into account all of the factors in the markets in general
and the impact of decisions that might have been made during the actual operation of an index. Actual returns may differ from, and be lower than,
back-tested returns.
