Investment Objectives

SHLD seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and net of expenses, the performance of a cap-weighted index designed to provide exposure to companies positioned to benefit from the increased adoption and utilization of defense technology (currently the Global X Defence Tech CAD Index).

Investment Strategy

In order to achieve their investment objectives and obtain direct or indirect exposure to securities of their Underlying Index’s Constituent Issuers, the Index ETFs may invest in and hold the securities of Constituent Issuers in substantially the same proportion as they are reflected in the applicable Underlying Index.
