* Past performance of an index is not a guarantee of future results.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Exposure to an asset class represented by an index is available through investable instruments based on that index. ROBO-STOX makes no assurance that investment products based on the index will accurately track index performance or provide positive investment returns. A decision to invest in any such investment fund or other investment vehicle should not be made in reliance on any of the statements set forth in this document. Prospective investors are advised to make an investment in any such fund or other vehicle only after carefully considering the risks associated with investing in such funds, as detailed in an offering memorandum or similar document that is prepared by or on behalf of the issuer of the investment fund or other vehicle. Inclusion of a security within an index is not a recommendation by ROBO-STOX to buy, sell, or hold such security, nor is it considered to be investment advice.

Closing prices for the ROBO-STOX™ Global Robotics and Automation Index are calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices based on the closing price of the individual constituents of the index as set by their primary exchange.

Historical performance illustrations from January 1, 2003 through September 30, 2013 are based on a backcast calculation. Performance calculations since June 30, 2013 are based upon actual observation. The backcast calculation performed used the index holdings as of June 30, 2013 and applied the index weighting methodology and the index rebalancing methodology to those holdings, as each holding was or became a member of the S&P DJI Global Broad Market Index, beginning on January 1, 2003. A backcast calculation can be materially different from a backtest analysis. The backcast calculations used herein involve a historical analysis of a fixed starting basket of securities, then analyzed looking backwards. Backtest calculations, which were not performed here, could be different in that they could involve an application of additional rules-based methodologies. It is possible that backtest calculations could have resulted in a basket of securities which could have changed to a higher degree throughout the time series.
