Fund Description

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks of low carbon energy companies. Such companies may include small- and medium-capitalization companies and foreign issuers. “Low carbon energy companies” refers to companies primarily engaged in renewable energy, including renewable energy production, alternative fuels, electric vehicles, and related technologies and building materials (such as advanced batteries). Renewable energy refers to the generation of power through environmentally friendly sources that can replace or supplement traditional fossil-fuel sources and that may reduce the global carbon footprint. It
includes power derived principally from bio-fuels (such as ethanol), wind, solar, hydro, hydrogen, and geothermal sources and also includes lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and the various technologies that support the production, use and storage of these sources. As of December 31, 2023, the Low Carbon Energy Index included 67 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $1.1 billion and $789.9 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $92.8 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the Low Carbon Energy Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the Low Carbon Energy Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the Low Carbon Energy Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the Low Carbon Energy Index. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Low Carbon Energy Index.
The Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act of 1940”), and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Low Carbon Energy Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2023, each of the consumer discretionary, industrials, information technology and utilities sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund.
