**<u>Summary Prospectus</u>**

**June 1, 2026**

**Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF**

Ticker<br>(BGEG) Exchange<br>Nasdaq Stock Market LLC

*Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's full prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's full prospectus, its statement of additional information (****"SAI"****), the most recent reports to shareholders, and other information such as the Fund's financial statements, once available, free of charge, online at www.bailliegifford.com/ETFs. You can also get this information at no cost by calling 1-844-394-6127 or by emailing northamericanvehiclesteam@bailliegifford.com. This Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the Fund's entire prospectus and SAI, each dated June 1, 2026, as supplemented or revised.*

**Investment Objective**

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF seeks capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses**

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.**

Annual Fund Operating Expenses

(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

<sup>(a)</sup> *Estimated for the current fiscal year.*

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other exchange-traded funds ("**ETFs**"). It assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, regardless of whether or not you sell your shares at the end of such periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your expenses would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 1 Year | $81 |
| 3 Years | $252 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These transaction costs, which are not reflected in "*Annual Fund Operating Expenses*" or in the "*Example of Expenses*" above, affect the Fund's performance. Because the

Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate for the most recent fiscal year end is not yet available.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Fund seeks to meet its objective by investing in a portfolio of common stocks and other equity securities of issuers located in countries of emerging and frontier markets.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies located in countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The countries represented in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index include markets that may be less sophisticated than more developed markets in terms of participation by investors, analyst coverage, liquidity, and regulation. The Fund invests in equity securities either directly or indirectly, such as through depositary receipts or participatory notes, and may invest in preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants. Under normal circumstances, the Fund is expected to invest to a significant extent (up to 70% of the Fund's net assets) in American Depositary Receipts (**"ADRs"**), European Depositary Receipts (**"EDRs"**) and Global Depositary Receipts (**"GDRs"**). The portfolio managers also have flexibility to implement the Fund's investment strategy through investing in active ETFs and ETFs that track relevant equity indices. The Fund is not constrained with respect to market capitalization and may participate in initial public offerings ("**IPOs**"). In addition, investment is permitted in securities offerings that are not registered in the U.S.

The portfolio managers primarily employ a bottom-up approach to stock selection, seeking to identify companies they believe have attractive long-term growth prospects, and select companies without being constrained by the MSCI Emerging Markets benchmark. The portfolio managers may reference the benchmark to set limits on the relative weighting of countries in the portfolio. The portfolio managers can also consider macro-economic factors when identifying potential investments. The portfolio managers focus on company research and the long-term outlook of companies and industries. Ideas can come from

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF – Summary Prospectus

a wide variety of sources, including, but not limited to, research trips, company meetings, and relationships with industry thought leaders and academic institutions. Stock ideas are normally researched to assess a range of factors, including: long-term growth potential, geographic and industry positioning, competitive advantage, management, financial strength and valuation. Under normal circumstances, the intended outcome is a diversified portfolio typically consisting of between 60 and 100 growth companies with the potential to outperform the Fund's benchmark over the long term. The process can result in significant exposure to a single country or a small number of countries. The Fund expects to invest significantly in Chinese companies including through China A shares, which are common stocks and other equity securities that are listed or traded on a Chinese stock exchange and which are quoted in renminbi, the official currency of China. The Fund aims to hold securities for long periods (typically at least 5 years), which generally results in relatively low portfolio turnover and is in line with the portfolio managers' long-term investment outlook. When assessing a company's long-term growth prospects, the portfolio managers seek to identify and to incorporate a range of factors that are material to managing the Fund's investment risks and maximizing capital appreciation. Such factors potentially include the environmental, social, and/or governance characteristics of the company, such as stewardship, sustainable business practices, and/or corporate culture.

The Fund may invest without limitation in securities quoted or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and may hold such currencies. The Fund does not expect to engage in currency hedging and thus expects to be fully exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.

**Principal Risks**

The Fund's net asset value ("**NAV**"), trading price and returns will be impacted by the performance of the underlying investments of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund (in alphabetical order after the first six risks) are:

*Investment Style Risk* – Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited (the "**Manager**") actively makes investment decisions for the Fund through bottom-up stock selection. Accordingly, the Fund will have risk characteristics that differ from its benchmark index. The Manager's judgments about the attractiveness, relative value, or potential appreciation of a particular stock may prove to be incorrect and cause the Fund to lose money or underperform compared to its benchmark index. There can be no assurance that the Manager's investment decisions will produce the desired results.<br>

*Growth Stock Risk* – The prices of growth stocks may be based largely on expectations of future earnings, and their prices can decline rapidly and significantly in reaction to negative news. Growth stocks may underperform stocks in other broad style categories (and the stock market as a whole) over any period of time and may shift in and out of <br>

favor with investors generally, sometimes rapidly, depending on changes in market, economic, and other factors.<br>

*Emerging Markets Risk* – Because the Fund invests in emerging market securities, the Fund may be exposed to greater market, credit, currency, liquidity, legal, political, technical and other risks different from, or greater than, the risks of investing in developed markets.<br>

*Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk* – The value of the Fund's investments could be adversely affected by events that disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global markets such as war, terrorism, public health crises, and geopolitical events and by changes in non-U.S. and U.S. economic and political conditions. These disruptions could prevent the Fund from implementing its investment strategies and achieving its investment objective, and increase the Fund's exposure to other risks detailed in this Prospectus. As a result, the Fund could lose money, experience significant redemptions, encounter operational difficulties, and suffer other negative impacts. Certain locations and industries may be particularly susceptible to this risk, and other risks may be heightened by such events.<br>

*Government and Regulatory Risk* – Governmental and regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries, have taken, and may in the future take, actions intervening in the markets in which the Fund invests and in the economy more generally. Governmental and regulatory authorities may also act to increase the scope or burden of regulations applicable to the Fund or to the companies in which the Fund invests. The effects of these actions on the markets generally, and the Fund's investment program in particular, can be uncertain and could restrict the ability of the Fund to fully implement its investment strategies, either generally, or with respect to certain securities, industries, or countries. By contrast, markets in some non-U.S. countries historically have been subject to little regulation or oversight by governmental or regulatory authorities, which could heighten the risk of loss due to fraud or market failures in those countries. Governments, agencies, or other regulatory bodies in any country may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the Fund or the market value of an instrument held by the Fund.<br>

*Depositary Receipts Risk* – The Fund may invest in depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs and GDRs. Investments in non-U.S. issuers through ADRs, GDRs, EDRs, and other types of depositary receipts generally involve risks applicable to other types of investments in non-U.S. issuers, including political, regulatory, and economic risks because the value of a depositary receipt is dependent upon the market price of an underlying non-U.S. security. Investments in depositary receipts may similarly be less liquid and more volatile than the underlying securities in their primary trading market. Investing in these instruments exposes a Fund to credit and counterparty risk with respect to the issuer of the ADR, EDR or GDR, in addition to the risks of the underlying investment. If a depositary receipt is denominated in a different currency than its underlying securities, the Fund will be subject to the currency risk of both the investment in the depositary receipt and the underlying security. Holders of depositary receipts may also <br>

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF – Summary Prospectus

have limited or no rights to take action with respect to the underlying securities or to compel the issuer of the receipts to take action.<br>

*Asia Risk* – Investing in securities of companies located in or with exposure to Asian countries involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including different financial reporting standards, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and highly regulated markets with the potential for government interference. The economies of many Asian countries are heavily dependent on international trade and on only a few industries or commodities and, as a result, can be adversely affected by trade barriers, exchange controls and other measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. Some Asian securities may be less liquid than U.S. or other foreign securities. See "*China Risk*" for additional details regarding the risks of investing in that country.<br>

Additionally, many of the economies of countries in Asia are considered emerging market or frontier market economies. These Asian economies are often characterized by high inflation, undeveloped financial service sectors, frequent currency fluctuations, devaluations, or restrictions, political and social instability, and less efficient markets. See "*Emerging Markets Risk*" and "*Frontier Markets Risk*" for additional details regarding the risks of investing in such countries.

*China Risk* – Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others, more frequent trading suspensions and government interventions (including by nationalization of assets), currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockages, limits on the use of brokers and on foreign ownership, different financial reporting standards, higher dependence on exports and international trade, potential for increased trade tariffs, sanctions, embargoes and other trade limitations, custody risks, risks associated with investments in variable interest entities, and potential adverse tax consequences. U.S. sanctions or other investment restrictions could preclude the Fund from investing in certain Chinese issuers or cause the Fund to sell investments at a disadvantageous time. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities, and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events.<br>

*Conflicts of Interest Risk* – The Manager serves as investment adviser to various clients other than the Fund, some of whom may pursue strategies that are substantially similar or nearly identical to investment strategies pursued by the Fund. This "side-by-side" management may give rise to various conflicts of interest, including, for example, in connection with the fair allocation of trades among the Manager's clients or the sharing of different, more, or more timely information regarding investment performance, portfolio holdings, strategy developments and/or the Manager's general market outlook. Although the Fund's investment objective and strategies are substantially similar <br>

to those of other accounts and funds managed by the Manager, differences in purchase and redemption structure, investment restrictions and legal requirements and the public nature of the Fund's positions lead to the use of different trading practices and potentially different portfolio decisions. See "*Periodic Rebalancing Risk*" for additional details regarding the differences in trading approaches taken by the Manager. Furthermore, if investment personnel of the Manager hold board or other positions at outside companies, they could be exposed to material non-public information potentially impeding or delaying the Fund's ability to buy or sell certain investments, or they could otherwise be restricted in their ability to participate in the Fund's investment process.<br>

*Currency Risk* – The Fund may realize a loss if it has exposure to a non-U.S. currency, and this non-U.S. currency declines in value, relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund does not expect to engage in currency hedging and thus expects to be fully exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar.<br>

*Equity Securities Risk* – Equity securities may react more strongly to changes in an issuer's financial condition or prospects than other securities of the same issuer. Investing in equity securities indirectly, such as through participatory notes or depositary receipts, may involve other risks such as the risk that the counterparty may default or that the investment does not track the underlying security as expected.<br>

*ESG Risk* – To the extent that the Fund's portfolio managers incorporate environmental, social and/or governance considerations ("**ESG Factors**") into the Fund's investment process as a part of the Fund's long-term investment approach, the Fund is subject to the risk that it may underperform funds that do not take ESG Factors into account. The consideration of ESG Factors may prioritize long-term rather than short-term returns, and therefore may negatively impact the relative performance of the Fund over the short, medium or even long term depending on how successfully those ESG Factors are incorporated and whether such investments are in or out of favor. In considering ESG Factors, the portfolio managers may be dependent upon information and data obtained through voluntary reporting by issuers or third-party research that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could impact the portfolio managers' assessment of relative risks and opportunities. See also "*Long-Term Investment Strategy Risk*" and "*Selected Investment Techniques and Topics*—*The Manager's Stewardship Approach*."<br>

— *ETF Structure Risk* – The Fund is structured as an ETF and is subject to special risks, including:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| – | Although the Fund's shares will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "**Exchange**"), an active trading market for the Fund's shares may not be developed or maintained by market makers or authorized participants ("**Authorized Participants**"). |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| – | As an ETF, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in a large, specified number of shares called a "**Creation Unit**." Only Authorized Participants may engage in creation or  |

---

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF – Summary Prospectus

redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and no Authorized Participant is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.<br>

– Trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for other reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable.

– ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| – | When buying or selling shares of the Fund, investors typically will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by financial intermediaries and will incur the cost of the difference between the price that a buyer is willing to pay for shares (the "**bid**" price) and the price at which a seller is willing to sell shares (the "**ask**" price), known as the "**spread**" or "**bid-ask spread**." |

---

– Shares of the Fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a stock exchange, may be sold short and are therefore subject to the risk of increased volatility and price decreases associated with short selling activity.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| – | Daily publication of the Fund's portfolio holdings information could permit other market participants to trade in the securities identified in the Fund's public disclosure, and to the extent the Fund was trading in those securities over multiple days, trading by such other market participants could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders by negatively impacting the prices at which the Fund may be able to buy investments for its portfolio or sell its holdings and Fund returns. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| – | The NAV of the Fund's shares may change on days when, or during times at which, Authorized Participants will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. This is because the Fund may invest in securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges which may trade at times or on days when the Fund does not price its shares. In such situations, there may be changes between the last quote of the underlying securities' value in the closed foreign market and the value of such underlying securities during the Fund's domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund's shares and the shares' underlying value. |

---

— *Focused Investment Risk* – Should the Fund focus its investments in related, or a limited number of, countries, regions, sectors, or companies, this would create more risk

and greater volatility than if the Fund's investments were less focused.<br>

*Frontier Markets Risk* – Frontier markets are those emerging markets that are considered to be among the smallest, least mature and least liquid and, as a result, may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in more developed markets or in other emerging market countries. Emerging markets risk may be especially heightened in frontier markets.<br>

*Geographic Focus Risk* – The Fund expects to focus its investments in a limited number of countries or geographic regions, and as a result may not offer the same level of diversification of risks as a more broadly global fund because the Fund will be exposed to a smaller geographic area. The performance of a fund that is less diversified across countries or geographic regions will be closely tied to market, currency, economic, political, environmental, or regulatory conditions and developments in the countries or regions in which the Fund invests, and may be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically-diversified portfolio.<br>

*Information Technology Risk* – Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund's service providers, counterparties, the securities markets generally, other market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations.<br>

*IPO Risk* – The Fund may purchase securities in IPOs. These securities are subject to many of the same risks of investing in companies with smaller market capitalizations. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile.<br>

*Large-Capitalization Securities Risk* – Returns on investments in securities of large companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of smaller and medium-sized companies. Larger companies may be unable to respond as quickly as smaller and medium-sized companies to competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or other market conditions. Larger companies may not be able to achieve or maintain growth at the high rates that may be achieved by well-managed smaller and medium-sized companies.<br>

*Liquidity Risk* – The Fund's investments may be subject to low trading volume, lack of a market maker, contractual lock-in periods or regulatory restrictions, and the Fund may hold large positions in particular securities. As a result, it may not be possible to sell an investment at a particular time or at an acceptable price. Liquidity risk may be magnified during periods of changing interest rates, significant redemptions from Authorized Participants that include a substantial cash component or market turmoil. Illiquid investments may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments and may be subject to wide fluctuations in market value. Increased levels of illiquidity can lead to wider bid-ask spreads.<br>

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF – Summary Prospectus

*Long-Term Investment Strategy Risk* – The Fund pursues a long-term investment approach, typically seeking returns over a period of several years. This investment style may cause the Fund to lose money or underperform compared to its benchmark index or other funds over extended periods of time, and the Fund may not perform as expected in the long term. An investment in the Fund may be more suitable for long-term investors who can bear the risk of short- or medium-term fluctuations in the value of the Fund's portfolio. See also "*Selected Investment Techniques and Topics*—*The Manager's Stewardship Approach*."<br>

*Market Risk* – The value of the Fund's investments will be affected by fluctuations in the stock markets in which the Fund is invested, factors affecting a particular industry or industries, real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. Declines in securities market prices may reduce the value of your investment in the Fund.<br>

*New and Smaller-Sized ETF Risk* – New funds and smaller-sized funds, such as the Fund, will be subject to greater liquidity risk due to their smaller asset bases and may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices due to significant redemptions from Authorized Participants that include a substantial cash component. A fund that has been recently formed will have limited or no performance history for investors to evaluate (except in circumstances where a predecessor fund's performance history is adopted) and may not reach or maintain a sufficient asset size to effectively implement its investment strategy. Smaller ETFs will have a lower public float and lower trading volumes, leading to wider bid-ask spreads. Further, the Manager is new to managing ETFs and will be reliant on the successful implementation of relationships with key counterparties, such as Authorized Participants.<br>

*Non-U.S. Investment Risk* – Non-U.S. securities are subject to additional risks, including less liquidity, increased volatility, less transparency, withholding or other taxes, increased vulnerability to adverse changes in local and global economic conditions, less regulation, and possible fluctuation in value due to adverse political conditions. Foreign portfolio transactions generally involve higher commission rates, transfer taxes, and custodial costs than similar transactions in the U.S.<br>

*Periodic Rebalancing Risk* – Because the Fund discloses its full portfolio holdings each business day, the Manager expects to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund on a periodic schedule, generally after the Manager executes transactions in the same securities for other client accounts managed according to investment strategies similar to those pursued by the Fund. As a result, the Fund's portfolio is expected to be rebalanced less frequently than other accounts and funds managed by the Manager, and the Fund's portfolio trades will often occur after an accumulation of multiple trades that were executed for the Manager's other accounts and funds. Less frequent rebalancing could harm the Fund by causing it to suffer losses if positions it would have sold earlier (if it were rebalanced more frequently) decline in value before a rebalancing date, or positions it <br>

would have purchased earlier (if it were rebalanced more frequently) increase in value before a rebalancing date. In addition, when the Manager implements a portfolio decision for an account or fund ahead of, or contemporaneously with, a portfolio decision for the Fund, market impact, liquidity constraints, or other factors could result in the Fund receiving less favorable pricing or trading results, paying higher transaction costs, or otherwise being disadvantaged.<br>

*Risk Model Risk* – A risk model is used to assist in the portfolio construction process. In developing and maintaining the risk model, the Manager expects to make use of one or more vendors or data sources for inputs. If the model or the data used in the model is incorrect or incomplete, or if there are business or operational disruptions affecting a vendor providing significant inputs to the model, then (in the absence of mitigating measures by the Manager) the Manager may be temporarily unable to appropriately implement the risk model or, when implemented, investment decisions made with reference to the model may not produce the desired results, and the Fund may realize losses.<br>

*Service Provider Risk* – The Fund will be affected by the Manager's investment techniques, analyses, assessments and employee retention. Similarly, adverse events or performance failures at a service provider, such as human error, inadequate controls or insolvency, have the ability to adversely affect the Fund.<br>

*Settlement Risk* – The Fund may experience delays in settlement due to the different clearance and settlement procedures in non-U.S. countries. Such delays may increase credit risk to the Fund, limit the ability of the Fund to reinvest the proceeds of a sale of securities, or prevent the Fund from selling securities at times and prices it considers desirable.<br>

*Small- and Medium-Capitalization Securities Risk* – Securities of small- and medium-capitalization companies can be more volatile due to various factors including more limited product lines, financial and management resources and market distribution channels, as well as shorter operating histories and potentially reduced liquidity, especially during market declines, than the securities of larger, more established companies.<br>

*Underlying Funds Risk* – Investments in other pooled investment vehicles may indirectly expose the Fund to all of the risks applicable to an investment in such other pooled vehicle. The Fund must pay its pro rata portion of the other pooled vehicle's fees and expenses. If such pooled vehicle is an ETF or other product traded on a securities exchange or otherwise actively traded, its shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV, an effect that might be more pronounced in less liquid markets. Investments in ETFs will be subject to parallel risks to those described under "*ETF Structure Risk*" above. Further, the Manager or an affiliate may serve as investment adviser to some pooled vehicles in which the Fund invests, leading to potential conflicts of interest.<br>

— *Valuation Risk* – In certain circumstances, some of the Fund's portfolio holdings may be valued on the basis of

Baillie Gifford Emerging Markets ETF – Summary Prospectus

factors other than market quotations by employing fair value procedures. This may occur more often in times of market turmoil or reduced liquidity. Portfolio holdings that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including "fair valued" securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their valuations from one day to the next than if market quotations were used. There is no assurance that the Fund could sell or close out a portfolio position for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio position is sold or closed out at a discount to the valuation established by the Fund at that time.<br>

**Performance**

The Fund is new and therefore has no performance history prior to the date of this prospectus. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with broad measure of market performance. Information on the Fund's investment performance after the Fund commenced investment operations on June 3, 2026, can be obtained by visiting<br>www.bailliegifford.com/ETFs. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.

**Purchasing and Selling Fund Shares**

The Fund is an ETF. Individual shares of the Fund may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer at a market price. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the **"bid-ask spread"**).

The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in Creation Units. These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only Authorized Participants purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units that include a substantial cash component, rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities, may cause the Fund to incur certain costs. These costs could include brokerage costs or taxable gains or losses that the Fund might not have incurred if an Authorized Participant had made purchases and redemptions in kind. These costs could be imposed on the Fund, and thus decrease the Fund's NAV, to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an Authorized Participant.

Once the Fund commences operations, recent information, including information on the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be available on the Fund's website at www.bailliegifford.com/ETFs.

**Tax**

The Fund intends to make distributions that will be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are a tax-exempt investor or otherwise investing through a tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA or 401(k) plan. If you are investing through such a tax-advantaged account, you may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from that account.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for services the intermediary provides to Fund shareholders. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. In addition to the fees and expenses described in the *"Fees and Expenses"* section above, your broker-dealer or financial intermediary may charge commissions or other fees on purchases and sales of shares of the Fund. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's web site for more information.
