The Fund has changed its primary benchmark to the FactSet Global FinTech Index because the Adviser believes it better reflects the investment strategy of the Fund and it is more representative of the Funds investable universe. The FactSet Global FinTech Index is an unmanaged and equal-weighted index that measures the equity market performance of companies engaged in Financial Technologies, primarily in the areas of software and consulting, data and analytics, digital payment processing, money transfer, and payment transaction-related hardware. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of larger-cap companies.
