Fund Objective

The EGShares India Small Cap Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) seeks investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the Indxx India Small Cap Index. The index is a free-float market capitalization weighted stock market index comprised of a representative sample of 75 Indian companies that Indxx, LLC determines to be the representative of small market cap companies in India.

Background

SCIN is designed to provide exposure to a broad segment of small capitalization companies in India. While large cap companies may have greater exposure to business cycles in developed economies, small cap companies may have more earnings generated from within India, creating a truer exposure to the domestic economy.i

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted.

*Gross expenses of 1.58% are reimbursed to keep from exceeding 0.85% of net assets. This agreement will remain in effect and will be contractually binding at least until July 29, 2012.

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.

Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. ET and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.

Because the Fund only invests in Indian securities, its NAV will be much more sensitive to changes in economic, political and other factors within India than would a fund that invested in a greater variety of countries. Special risks include, among others, political and legal uncertainty, persistent religious, ethnic and border disputes, greater government control over the economy, currency fluctuations or blockage and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets.

Small and Medium capitalization companies may have greater volatility in price than the stocks of large capitalization companies due to limited product lines or resources or a dependency upon a particular market niche.
