| Investment Objective: |
John Hancock Multifactor Emerging Markets ETF seeks to pursue results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the John Hancock Dimensional Emerging Markets Index. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities included in the fund s Index, in depositary receipts representing securities included in the fund s Index, and in underlying stocks in respect of depositary receipts included in the fund s Index. The Index is designed to comprise a subset of securities of companies associated with emerging markets, which may include frontier markets (emerging markets in an earlier stage of development). Eligible companies are generally considered to be those with market capitalizations in the top 80% of an eligible country and the top 85% of all companies in eligible countries at the time of reconstitution. The selection and weighting of securities in the Index involves a rules-based process that may sometimes be referred to as multifactor investing, factor-based investing, strategic beta, or smart beta. With respect to each country, companies are classi ed according to their market capitalization, relative price, and pro tability. |
