| Investment Objective: |
The Climate Global - Climate Resilient REIT Index ETF aims to return performance of the Climate Global - Climate Resilient REIT Index. The Index is designed to track the performance of companies that are organized as real estate investment trusts or related entities such as real estate operating companies ("REITs") that, according to data reviewed by Climate Global, LLC ("Index Provider"), measure climate-specific risks and factors affecting the properties underlying REITs and are expected to outperform other REITs due to their lower degree of exposure to climate events and risks. Climate Global's index methodology measures and applies a Climate Robustness and Durability Score ("CRDS") to rank REIT weightings in the Index. CRDS is a proprietary, quantitative metric that utilizes insurance-grade catastrophe models and analytical standards relied upon by global insurers and reinsurers to price policies and construct insurance portfolios. By applying these quantitative methods to evaluate property-level hazard exposure and portfolio vulnerability, CRDS provides a consistent approach to identifying REITs with stronger climate and extreme weather durability while maintaining diversification and liquidity within a rules-based structure. |
