The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gains, and return of investor capital and has the potential to change during any given tax year. Please refer to the 19a-1 Notice, which can be found on the Fund’s website, for information regarding the composition of distributions, including return of capital. The final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099-DIV.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data for the most recent month-end is available above.
NAV: The dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.
Market Price: The current price at which shares are bought and sold. Market returns are based upon the last trade price.
Growth of $10,000
The Growth of $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical investment and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including management fees and other expenses were deducted. Results are not indicative of future performance.
The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST). The horizontal axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The vertical axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.

Data in the s19 reports should not be relied upon to estimate the tax classification of distributions.
They are rough point-in-time estimates that do not line up with the fund's fiscal year end and are thus
not reflective of the tax information investors should expect. S19 reports are posted for regulatory
requirements only.
