The tables above show past performance of the ETF from its Inception Date and of the Index from its Base Date. Index performance shown prior to its Launch Date is simulated based on the current index methodology. Results are calculated to the last business day of the month and assume immediate reinvestment of distributions.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance which may be lower or higher.
