AI, Robotics & Technology Opportunity Portfolio, Series 35
Fueled by advances in computer and sensor technology, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are
becoming an integral part of our daily lives as providers of labor, mobility, safety, convenience and
entertainment. What was once largely limited to manufacturing plants, robots are now found in
households, offices, hospitals, farms and highways.
Artificial Intelligence - is the theory and development of computer systems able to
perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech
recognition, decision making and translation between languages.
Robotics - is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation
and application of robots.
Consider The Following:
- The global industrial robotics market was valued at $55.2 billion in 2023 and is projected
to reach approximately $163.9 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of approximately 11.5% from 2024-2033.1
- AI-powered transformations are impacting nearly every industry and application. According
to Gartner, global generative AI spending is anticipated to reach approximately $644 billion,
growing 76.4% compared to 2024. In addition, they project that overall global spending on AI

Risk Considerations
An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should be made
with an understanding of the risks involved with owning common stocks, such as an economic recession and
the possible deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers of the equity securities or the general
condition of the stock market.
You should be aware that the portfolio is concentrated in stocks in the information technology sector which
involves additional risks, including limited diversification. The companies engaged in the information
technology sector are subject to fierce competition, high research and development costs, and their products
and services may be subject to rapid obsolescence. Technology company stocks, especially those which are
Internet-related, may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their
operating performance. There is no assurance that the projections stated herein will be realized.
Securities of non-U.S. issuers are subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting non-U.S. issuers.
Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate than the overall market.
As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the trust has become
more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cybersecurity.
Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility
within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant impact on certain investments as well as performance.
A public health crisis, and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks in response,
could cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global
growth prospects.
The value of the securities held by the trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to
changes in performance or perception of the issuers.
This UIT is a buy and hold strategy and investors should consider their ability to hold the trust until maturity. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan.
