    Rotator Index aims to provide exposure to U.S. equities, with rotation among four select equity factors when they come into favor in current business cycles. The index is constructed in three steps: 6 Business Cycle Identification At the beginning of every month, using the 3-month average and change of the CFNAI Index to determine which business cycle we are in. Factor Rotation ONE equity factor is selected from a set of FOUR factor indices to represent the major factors linked to the business cycles.

    Jones Indices LLC. Table is provided for illustrative purposes. ^On a daily basis, the Index identifies all possible portfolios of the bond and the equity constituents that have recently realized volatility equal to the target. If no portfolio is eligible, the Index will choose the portfolio with historical volatility closet to the target volatility and then deleverages the portfolio as necessary in order to achieve the target volatility. Selected Factor Index 5Yr Note Futures Index Variance Covariance Matrix Selected Factor Weight (W) 5Yr Note Futures Index Weight (1–W) Base Indices Weight Allocation • To maintain a 6% volatility target on a daily basis, a 6% risk control overlay is applied to the selected equity factor. • Based on historical realized volatilities and correlations between the asset components, weight allocations are adjusted between the equity factor portion and the 5-year Treasury Note Futures.

  19. Performance Disclosure The S&P Economic Cycle Factor Rotator Index was

    launched on August 16, 2016. All information presented prior to an index’s Launch Date is hypothetical (back-tested), not actual performance. The back-test calculations are based on the same methodology that was in effect on the index Launch Date. Complete index methodology details are available at www.spdji.com. S&P Dow Jones Indices defines various dates to assist our clients in providing transparency. The First Value Date is the first day for which there is a calculated value (either live or back- tested) for a given index. The Base Date is the date at which the Index is set at a fixed value for calculation purposes. The Launch Date designates the date upon which the values of an index are first considered live: index values provided for any date or time period prior to the index’s Launch Date are considered back-tested. S&P Dow Jones Indices defines the Launch Date as the date by which the values of an index are known to have been released to the public, for example via the company’s public website or its datafeed to external parties. For Dow Jones-branded indices introduced prior to May 31, 2013, the Launch Date (which prior to May 31, 2013, was termed “Date of introduction”) is set at a date upon which no further changes were permitted to be made to the index methodology, but that may have been prior to the Index’s public release date. Past performance of the Index is not an indication of future results. Prospective application of the methodology used to construct the Index may not result in performance commensurate with the back-test returns shown. The back-test period does not necessarily correspond to the entire available history of the Index. Please refer to the methodology paper for the Index, available at www.spdji.com for more details about the index, including the manner in which it is rebalanced, the timing of such rebalancing, criteria for additions and deletions, as well as all index calculations. Another limitation of using back-tested information is that the back-tested calculation is generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. Back-tested information reflects the application of the index methodology and selection of index constituents in hindsight. No hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, there are numerous factors related to the equities, fixed income, or commodities markets in general which cannot be, and have not been accounted for in the preparation of the index information set forth, all of which can affect actual performance. The Index returns shown do not represent the results of actual trading of investable assets/securities. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC maintains the Index and calculates the Index levels and performance shown or discussed, but does not manage actual assets. Index returns do not reflect payment of any sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment funds that are intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual and back-tested performance of the securities/fund to be lower than the Index performance shown. As a simple example, if an index returned 10% on a US $100,000 investment for a 12-month period (or US $10,000) and an actual asset-based fee of 1.5% was imposed at the end of the period on the investment plus accrued interest (or US $1,650), the net return would be 8.35% (or US $8,350) for the year. Over a three year period, an annual 1.5% fee taken at year end with an assumed 10% return per year would result in a cumulative gross return of 33.10%, a total fee of US $5,375, and a cumulative net return of 27.2% (or US $27,200).
