The ETF total return may appear to diverge from the return of its benchmark. This may be due to the use of systematic fair value. Click here for more information

The ETF total return is based on the ETF’s net asset value, which uses systematic fair value to price certain foreign assets as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (when foreign markets may be closed). The benchmark return uses local market closing prices which may differ from systematic fair value prices. This difference may result in divergence of ETF total return and benchmark return. For more information, please consult the fund’s prospectus. Institutional Non-Fair Value Impact Report

Detailed Holdings and Analytics
Holdings are subject to change.


The values shown for “market value,” “weight,” and “notional value” (the “calculated values”) are based off of a price provided by a third-party pricing vendor for the portfolio holding and do not reflect the impact of systematic fair valuation (“the vendor price”). The vendor price is not necessarily the price at which the Fund values the portfolio holding for the purposes of determining its net asset value (the “valuation price”). Holdings data shown reflects the investment book of record, which may differ from the accounting book of record used for the purposes of determining the Net Assets of the Fund. Notional value represents the portfolio's exposures based on the economic value of investments and options are delta-adjusted. Additionally, where applicable, foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the portfolio holdings denominated in non-U.S. currencies for the valuation price will be generally determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange, whereas for the vendor price will be generally determined as of 4 p.m. London. The calculated values may have been different if the valuation price were to have been used to calculate such values. The vendor price is as of the most recent date for which a price is available and may not necessarily be as of the date shown above.

Please see the “Determination of Net Asset Value” section of each Fund’s prospectus for additional information on the Fund’s valuation policies and procedures.

“Quantity” represents the number of shares, units or contracts of the corresponding security, as applicable per security type.

Geographic exposure relates principally to the domicile of the issuers of the securities held in the product, added together and then expressed as a percentage of the product's total holdings, excluding currency holdings. Percentages do not reflect fair valuation. In some instances, percentages may reflect the location where the issuer of the securities carries out much of their business. Bonds are included in U.S. bond indices when the securities are denominated in U.S. dollars regardless of the domicile of the issuer.
