Principal Investment Strategy

The Trust seeks to provide dividend income by utilizing an inflation-hedged approach to investing in international markets. The Trust will invest in a portfolio of securities of 10 companies by implementing the quantitative selection process described below to determine the constituents of the final portfolio.

See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information.

Selection Criteria

The Trust’s portfolio is constructed and the securities are selected approximately six business days prior to the initial date of deposit (the “Security Selection Date”) using the methodology described below. In constructing the Trust portfolio, 10 securities will be selected based on the following quantitative criteria:

  • Begin with all of the securities in the Global Dow Index as of the Security Selection Date.
  • For companies with multiple listings, only one security is included. Preference is given to the U.S.-traded American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) security, if available, or to the most liquid security if the company is only traded on non-U.S. exchanges.
  • Exclude securities that have a pending cash-only merger and acquisition or other corporate action events which will lead to delisting of the security from the qualifying exchanges below.
  • Exclude securities not listed on securities exchanges located in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
  • Each of the remaining securities is ranked based on its trailing twelve-month dividend yield, where dividend yield is defined as a security’s annual dividend divided by its market price per share. If a security has discontinued or omitted its dividend in the previous declaration prior to selection, the security is removed from consideration. Select the ten securities with the highest dividend yield as of the Security Selection Date, subject to the following portfolio limitations: - A maximum of 50% of the Trust portfolio can be invested in any one sector, as defined by Standard & Poor’s Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”); and - A maximum of 50% of the Trust portfolio can be invested in securities headquartered in any one of the following regions: North America (United States and Canada), Latin America (Mexico, Central America and South America), Europe (Europe and Russia), Middle East & Africa (Middle East region and Africa), and Asia & Pacific (Asia excluding Russia, Australia and New Zealand).
  • The portfolio is then equally weighted as of the Security Selection Date.
Index Definition: The Global Dow Index is an equal-weighted index consisting of the stocks of 150 top companies from around the globe as selected by the Dow Jones Averages Committee. The stocks are chosen primarily by size, reputation and importance in the global economy, with an emphasis on the following: reflecting both developed and emerging markets, achieving representation of new as well as established industries, and selecting companies that drive the global economy today and are poised to do so tomorrow.

 

Risks and Other Considerations

As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the Trust. No assurance can be given that the Trust’s investment objective will be achieved. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:

  • Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the Trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
  • Due to the current state of the economy, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers. Starting in December 2007, economic activity declined across all sectors of the economy, and the United States experienced increased unemployment. The economic crisis affected the global economy with European and Asian markets also suffering historic losses. Standard & Poor’s Rating Services lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the United States to “AA+” from “AAA,” which could lead to increased interest rates and volatility. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the governments of several leading countries to combat the economic crisis; however, the impact of these measures is not yet fully known and cannot be predicted.
  • Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
  • The Trust invests in ADRs. The Trust’s investment in ADRs presents additional risk. ADRs are issued by a bank or Trust company to evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by foreign corporations. Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of domestic securities. More specifically, foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls with respect to certain industries or differing legal and/or accounting standards.
  • The Trust includes securities issued by companies headquartered or incorporated in countries considered to be emerging markets. Emerging markets are generally defined as countries with low per capita income in the initial stages of their industrialization cycles. Risks of investing in developing or emerging countries include the possibility of investment and trading limitations, liquidity concerns, delays and disruptions in settlement transactions, political uncertainties and dependence on international trade and development assistance. Companies headquartered in emerging market countries may be exposed to greater volatility and market risk.
  • The Trust invests in securities of companies in the telecommunications services sector. General risks of companies in the telecommunications services sector include rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence or loss of patent protection, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. Competitive pressures are intense and communications stocks can experience rapid volatility.
  • The Trust includes securities from the utilities sector. Adverse developments in this sector may significantly affect the value of your units. Companies involved in the utilities sector must contend with environmental considerations, taxes, government regulation, price and supply fluctuations, competition and energy conservation.
  • The Trust invests in securities issued by mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Midcapitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.
  • Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.
  • The Sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may, when creating additional units, continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.

See “Investment Risks” in Part A of the prospectus and “Risk Factors” in Part B of the prospectus for additional information.
