Portfolio Building Block European Banks Index ETF PBEU Strategy

The investment seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the BITA European Banks Index (the “Index”). The fund uses a “passive management” approach to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the index. The index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that identifies companies in the banking industry with publicly traded ordinary shares listed on major stock exchanges in developed European markets, as classified by BITA GmbH. The index’s initial universe consists of all publicly listed equity securities for which sufficient relevant information is available from public sources. The fund is non-diversified.
