The Fund seeks to replicate the holdings and weightings of the Nasdaq US Smart Food & Beverage™ Index as to generate performance results 95% correlated to that of the Nasdaq US Smart Food & Beverage™ Index.

- The Nasdaq US Smart Food & Beverage™ Index is a modified factor weighted index created and administered by Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) designed to provide exposure to US companies within the food and beverage industry.
- Nasdaq ranks eligible food and beverage securities from the Nasdaq US Benchmark™ Index on three factors:
- Trailing 12-month return on assets;
- Trailing 12-month gross income;
- Momentum: the 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month average price appreciation.
- The bottom 25% of eligible companies based on the aggregate score from the above factors are eliminated and the remaining stocks make up the portfolio subject to the portfolio having 30-50 stocks.
- The securities are weighted based on their trailing 12-month cash flow subject to a maximum of 8% and minimum of 0.50%.
- The index is reconstituted and rebalanced semi-annually.
