Wahed Invest LLC (the “Adviser”), the Fund’s investment adviser, seeks to invest the Fund’s assets in securities similar to the components of, and to achieve returns similar to those of, the Dow Jones Islamic Market International Titans 100 Index (the “Index”).

If it determines to apply the ESG Screen, the Adviser uses RepRisk, a provider of business intelligence on ESG risks, for daily filtering, screening, and analysis of controversies related to companies within the Fund. Such analysis includes a range of issues such as economic crime and corruption, fraud, illegal commercial practices, human rights issues, labor disputes, workplace safety, catastrophic accidents, and environmental disasters. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"While the Adviser expects to invest in securities included in the Index, it may determine to invest in different securities or in the same securities but at different times or in different weights than included in the Index when it believes doing so is more consistent with requirements of Shariah, based on the ESG Screen, or otherwise in the best interests of the Fund. /span/divdiv style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"The Fund may invest without limit in issuers in both developed and emerging markets, including frontier markets.

The Index will be rebalanced quarterly, in March, June, September and December. Constituents’ index weightings are calculated using closing prices on the Wednesday prior to the second Friday of the rebalancing month as the reference price. Index share amounts are calculated and assigned to each stock to arrive at the weights determined on the reference date. Changes are announced on the second Friday of the review month and are implemented at the opening of trading on the Monday following the third Friday of the review month. In addition, the Samp;P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “Dow Jones Index Provider”), the index provider and calculation agent for the Index, engaged Shariah consultant, Ratings Intelligence Partners (“RIP”), to conduct ongoing monitoring of Index constituents. RIP may provide information to the Dow Jones Index Provider between quarterly rebalancings. A company deemed compliant for the prior evaluation period that exceeds the maximum ratio for any accounting-based screen for the current evaluation period will continue to be considered compliant if the ratio is within two percentage points of the maximum allowed. However, if the maximum is breached for three consecutive evaluation periods, the company will be deemed non-compliant. If any of a company’s ratios are above the two percentage point buffer limit, the company will immediately be deemed non-compliant and will be removed from the Index. A company deemed non-compliant for the prior evaluation period that passes all accounting-based screens for the current evaluation period will remain non-compliant if any ratio is within two percentage points of the maximum allowed.

As discussed under “Dividend Purification,” the Fund publishes on its website the per share amount to be purified on an annual basis. /span/divAs of August 31, 2023, the Index was composed of 103 constituents, representing investments in companies domiciled in 19 countries.
