*Returns less than one year are not annualized.

The table presents past performance which is no guarantee of future results and which may be lower or higher than current performance. As of October 1, 2015, index data for the SME-ChiNext 100 Index (the “Index”) for all periods presented reflect the CNI6109 stream of the Index which is denominated in USD and converted by the index provider using the “offshore” Renminbi (CNH) exchange rate. Returns reflect temporary contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Had the ETF incurred all expenses and fees, investment returns would have been reduced. Investment returns and ETF share values will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETF returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.
