Fund Objective

The EGShares Emerging Markets Consumer exchange-traded fund (ETF) seeks to achieve its investment objective of total return by investing in the constituent securities of the Dow Jones Emerging Markets Consumer Titans 30 Index. The index is created to measure the stock performance of 30 leading emerging-market companies in the Consumer Goods and Consumer Services Industries as defined by the Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB). Stocks are selected to the index based on rankings by float-adjusted market capitalization, revenue and net profit.

Background

Emerging market consumers do most of their business with familiar local or regional brands, and tend to have less affinity for developed world brands. ECON is designed to provide organic exposure to these consumers; almost all of the revenues of the underlying companies are derived from emerging market sales, providing truer exposure to this theme.

This fund will concentrate its investments in issuers of one or more particular industries to the same extent that its Underlying Index is so concentrated and to the extent permitted by applicable regulatory guidance. Concentration risk results from maintaining exposure to issuers conducting business in a specific industry.
