Fund Objective

EGShares Emerging Markets Metals & Mining exchange-traded fund (ETF) invests in companies whose revenues are generated in the areas of Diversified Metals & Mining, Gold, Steel, Aluminum or Precious Metals & Minerals. The Dow Jones Emerging Markets Metals & Mining Titans Index focuses on the largest publicly-traded mining companies involved in industrial and precious metals exploration, extraction and production within the emerging world. The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of total return by investing in the constituent securities of the index.

Background

EMT is designed to provide non-U.S. dollar, equity-based commodity exposure to the largest miners of copper, nickel, platinum, palladium, iron ore, and coal in the emerging markets. With exposure to emerging market currencies such as the Brazilian real, South African rand, and Russian ruble, EMT can benefit from currency appreciation versus the U.S. dollar, given the often-inverse relationship between the U.S. dollar and commodities.

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.
