About the INQQ Index

Index Construction

INQQ Eligibility Criteria

To be considered for inclusion in the Index, the following criteria must be met:

  1. India  The primary criteria for selecting a company for inclusion in the Index is that the company derives a majority of its revenue from Internet & Ecommerce activities in India.
  2. Equity Securities.  Only publicly issued common equity securities are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Debt or quasi-debt securities, such as convertible securities, are not eligible for inclusion.
  3. ADRs. Exchange-traded American Depository Receipts (ADR’s), American Depository Shares (ADSs), Global Depository Receipts (GDR’s), and International Depository Receipts (IDR’s) are eligible for inclusion in the Index.
  4. Market Capitalization. The Index will include equity securities of companies of all capitalizations. Constituents must have a free-float adjusted market capitalization of USD $300 Million or greater for initial inclusion in the Index. A free-float adjusted USD $200 Million minimum is required for ongoing Index inclusion.
  5. Liquidity. To ensure adequate liquidity, constituents must have three (3) month average daily turnover of at least USD $1 million USD.
  6. Foreign Ownership Restrictions. Companies traded in markets with restrictions on foreign ownership may be excluded from the Index.

Target Weights

The Index uses a modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighting methodology to weight individual positions.

Security Weight – Maximum. 

The target weight of any one position is limited to 8.0% of the Index. Semi-annually, all individual securities with an Index weighting greater than 8.0% will be rebalanced back to 8.0%. Excess exceeding 8.0% will be applied proportionally to all remaining Index constituents. Then, all positions whose float adjusted market capitalization weights are over 5% are added together. If the total is less than 50%, no further modifications are made. If the total is equal to or greater than 50% then the highest weighted position is capped at 8%. The excess weight is then applied on a pro-rata basis to all the remaining Index constituents and the process is then repeated, if necessary, with the next largest stock being capped at a weight 0.5% less than the previous constituent (examples: 7.5%, 7.0%, 6.5%, 6.0%, 5.5%, 5.0%, 4.5%) until 50% is reached. The 4.5% maximum target weight is then applied to all the remaining stocks.

Once set, either initially or at a semi-annual rebalance, target weights are free to float due to market actions. Weights are reviewed and the Index rebalanced according to the rules under Index Maintenance below.

Index Maintenance

Index Maintenance is the responsibility of the Index Administrator, Solactive AG. Index maintenance includes monitoring and implementing any adjustments, additions and deletions to the Index as per this Index methodology and any adjustments, additions and deletions due to corporate actions.
 
Additions
 

Additions to the Index will be made at a semi-annual rebalance on the third Friday of June or December. Any addition will be funded on a pro-rata basis from the remainder of the Index, net of any deletions.

Deletions

A constituent will be deleted from the Index immediately due to bankruptcy, acquisition, delisting or merger of the company by or into another company, spin-offs, tender offers or other similar corporate actions. At each quarter end, any security which has been continuously suspended or halted since the prior quarter will be deleted from the Index at zero value. In the case of such deletions, including any relisting of suspended constituents, no replacements will be made until the annual rebalance. Any proceeds resulting from the deletions will be applied on a pro-rata basis over the remainder of the Index, net of any additions.

Index Reconstitution and Semi-Annual Rebalance

Index Reconstitution is the responsibility of the Index Administrator and is performed semi-annually in June and December based on data as of the last business day in May and November respectively. Index Reconstitution includes:

  1. Additions to the Index. New constituents will be added to the Index if they meet the eligibility requirements as defined above under Eligibility Criteria. Any additions will be funded on a pro-rata basis from the remainder of the Index, net of deletions.
  2. Deletions from the Index. Constituents will be deleted from the Index if they no longer meet the eligibility requirements as defined above under Eligibility Criteria with one exception. Constituents that fall below the initial capitalization minimum of USD $300 Million will be retained unless their capitalization falls below the minimum of USD $200 Million. Constituents falling below the minimum of USD $200 Million will be deleted. Any proceeds resulting from the deletions will be applied on a pro-rata basis over the remainder of the Index, net of additions.
  3. Rebalancing. The Index will be rebalanced to accommodate any additions or deletions to the Index as described above and to enforce the target weights as described above under Index Construction.

Index Administration

The Index will be rebalanced to accommodate any additions or deletions to the Index as described above and to enforce the target weights as described above under Index Construction.

Disclosures

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.emqqglobaletfs.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. 

Risk Information

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments in smaller and mid-sized companies typically exhibit higher volatility. The funds are non-diversified. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Frontier markets generally have less developed capital markets than traditional emerging market countries, and, consequently, the risks of investing in foreign securities are magnified in such countries. These countries are subject to potentially significant political, social and economic instability, which could materially and adversely affect the companies in which the Fund may invest. The Fund invests in the securities of Internet Companies, including internet services companies and internet retailers, and is subject to risk that market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.

Additional Risk Information for INQQ 
Investing in India may involve the risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in India as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Certain restrictions on foreign investment may decrease the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, subject the Fund to higher transaction costs, or inhibit the Fund’s ability to track the Index. The Fund’s investments in securities of issuers located or operating in India may be limited or prevented, at times, due to the limits on foreign ownership imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”). 
 
The Fund is registered as a foreign portfolio investor (“FPI”) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”) in order to have the ability to make and dispose of investments in Indian securities. There can be no assurance that the Fund will qualify or continue to qualify as an FPI, or that the Indian regulatory authorities will continue to grant such qualifications and the loss of such qualifications could adversely impact the ability of the Fund to make and dispose of investments in India. 
 
There is no guarantee that the Funds or the index will achieve its investment objective.
