Principal Investment Strategy

The Trust utilizes a quantitative selection process developed by Zacks Investment Management (“Zacks”) to determine the constituents of a final portfolio. The Trust will invest in common stocks, which may include the common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies that have small-, mid- and large-capitalizations. The Trust may invest in securities of issuers headquatered in emerging markets. As a result of this strategy, the Trust is concentrated in the consumer products sector and the information technology sector.

Selection Criteria

The screening process to determine the investment portfolio of the Trust was executed eight business days before the initial date of deposit of the Trust (the “Security Selection Date”). The final constituents are chosen based on the below criteria as of the Security Selection Date.

• The security selection process begins by identifying an initial universe of all securities that trade on at least one public North American securities exchange.

• First, eliminate all MLPs, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds.

• Next, eliminate securities with a market capitalization less than $300,000,000.

• Next, eliminate securities not designated by the Zacks Rank Model as “Strong Buy.”

• Next, rank the remaining securities in descending order of their “Last EPS Surprise %” as reported by Zacks Investment Research; where “Last EPS Surprise %” is the difference (as a percentage) between the actual earnings per share (“EPS”) reported for the last quarter and the consensus estimate for the last quarter. A consensus estimate is the average of all the current earnings estimates made by a pool of brokerage analysts utilized by Zacks Investment Management.

• Then, select the 50 securities with the largest “Last EPS Surprise %” and equal weight them.

Final Trust Portfolio Construction Screen

The securities are combined to form the final portfolio. A final liquidity check is performed as follows: any security eligible for inclusion in the Trust portfolio with liquidity of less than the estimated total dollar value of the security as of the Security Selection Date will be removed from the Trust portfolio and replaced by the next highest ranked security. Liquidity is determined by taking the price of a security and multiplying it by its three month trading volume. The estimated total dollar value is the total dollar position that must be purchased for each security.

In the event that a security that has a pending cash or stock merger and acquisition or bankruptcy which will lead to delisting the security is chosen, that security will be removed and the next security in the list will be selected for inclusion in the portfolio. Such events will be determined by reviewing the announced merger and acquisition data from Bloomberg and if the announced date falls before the Security Selection Date, an announcement of an agreement to be acquired in whole for cash or stock from an acquiring company or bankruptcy filing will cause removal.

In the event that a security is selected which is not treated as a corporation for U.S. tax purposes, that security will be removed and the next security in the list will be selected for inclusion in the portfolio.

Please note that due to the fluctuating nature of security prices, the weighting of an individual security in the Trust portfolio may change after the Security Selection Date.

Zacks Rank Model

The Zacks Rank Model is a proprietary quantitative model that uses trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises to classify stocks into five groups: Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, Sell and Strong Sell.

Zacks Investment Management

Zacks Investment Management, founded in 1992 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Zacks Investment Research, one of the largest providers of independent research in the U.S. ZIM has over $1.8 billion in assets under management for retail and institutional clients in separately managed accounts that employ proprietary quantitative models and three mutual funds which it markets through its whole sale division. ZIM manages equity and fixed income portfolios for clients using a unique combination of Zacks independent research and Zacks proprietary quantitative models. The Trust will pay a portfolio consulting fee to ZIM for it assistance in the selection of the Trust portfolio.

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.

• Securities selected according to this strategy may not perform as intended. The Trust is exposed to additional risk due to its policy of investing in accordance with an investment strategy. Although the Trust's investment strategy is designed to achieve the Trust's investment objective, the strategy may not prove to be successful. The investment decisions may not produce the intended results and there is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved.

• The Trust is concentrated in the consumer products sector. As a result, the factors that impact the consumer products sector will likely have a greater effect on this Trust than on a more broadly diversified Trust. General risks of companies in the consumer products sector include cyclicality of revenues and earnings, economic recession, currency fluctuations, changing consumer tastes, extensive competition, product liability litigation and increased government regulation. A weak economy and its effect on consumer spending would adversely affect companies in the consumer products sector.

• The Trust is concentrated in the information technology sector. As a result, the factors that impact the information technology sector will likely have a greater effect on this Trust than on a more broadly diversified Trust. Companies involved in this sector must contend with rapid changes in technology, intense competition, government regulation and the rapid obsolescence of products and services. Furthermore, sector predictions may not materialize and the companies selected for the Trust may not represent the entire sector and may not participate in the overall sector growth.

• The Trust invests in securities issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These securities customarily involve more investment risk than securities of large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.

• The Trust invests in U.S.-listed foreign securities and an American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”). The Trust’s investment in U.S.-listed foreign securities and an ADR 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.

• Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that share prices of the securities in the Trust will not decline and 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.

• 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.
