| Investment Objective: |
The fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened Index. The fund, using a "passive" or indexing investment approach, seeks investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of the S&P MidCap 400 Scored & Screened Index (the "Under- lying Index"). The Underlying Index is a broad-based, market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the performance of companies meeting environ- mental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, while maintaining similar overall industry group weights as the S&P MidCap 400 Index. The Index Provider first applies various ESG screens to the S&P MidCap 400 Index to exclude companies that fail to meet certain minimum ESG requirements. After excluding such companies, the Index Provider utilizes a proprietary methodology to populate the Underlying Index with companies selected from the remaining companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index. |
