existed). There are frequently material differences between back-tested performance and actual results. Past performance -- whether actual or back-tested -- is no indication or guarantee of future
performance.

Index Methodology
The index is based on the MSCI Global Investable Indexes (GIMI) Methodology—a comprehensive and consistent approach to index construction that
allows for meaningful global views and cross regional comparisons across all market capitalization size, sector and style segments and combinations. This
methodology aims to provide exhaustive coverage of the relevant investment opportunity set with a strong emphasis on index liquidity, investability and
replicability. The index is reviewed quarterly—in February, May, August and November—with the objective of reflecting change in the underlying equity
markets in a timely manner, while limiting undue index turnover. During the May and November semi-annual index reviews, the index is rebalanced and
the large, mid and small capitalization cutoff points are recalculated.
