Disclosures required in JapanETF Investment Risks
Since the Fund invests primarily in securities and futures contracts, there is a risk that the market price ofsuch securities or the NAV per unit of the Fund could decline and cause an investment loss due to a decline
in the index, a price decline in securities comprising the index, the bankruptcy of a security issuer, ordeterioration in the financial conditions of an issuer, in addition to other market factors.
Also, because some securities in the Fund are influenced by exchange rates, the NAV may fall due tofluctuations in the foreign exchange rate. An investor’s principal is therefore not guaranteed.
Furthermore, investment trusts are different from deposits and savings.
*ETF risks are not limited to the above.
Before investing in the Fund, prospective investors should carefully read the summary prospectus and basedecisions on their own judgement.

Trading Fee:

Management Fees:
The total management fee is obtained by adding the amount determined in (2) below to the amountdetermined in (1) below. Management fees are paid from the trust assets, and therefore are charged indirectlyaccording to the period that the ETF is held.
