The Fund’s investment objective changed to seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the MVIS EM Aggregate Bond Index (MVEMAG), from seeking to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the BofA Merrill Lynch Broad Latin America Bond Index (LATS). Performance data prior to December 10, 2013, reflects that of BONO and LATS. Performance data from December 10, 2013, and on, reflects that of EMAG and MVEMAG. Performance history which includes periods prior to December 10, 2013 reflects a blend of the performance of EMAG and BONO and MVEMAG and LATS and is not intended for third party use.
