Investment Objectives

PPLN seeks to replicate, to the extent reasonably possible and net of expenses, the performance of an equal-weighted index designed to provide exposure to the largest Canadian Pipeline companies (currently, the Mirae Asset Equal Weight Canadian Pipeline Index).

Investment Strategy

To achieve PPLN’s investment objectives, PPLN invests and holds the equity securities of the Constituent Issuers in substantially the same proportion as its Underlying Index. PPLN's Underlying Index is ordinarily rebalanced on a quarterly basis at the close of trading on each Rebalancing Date. The Constituent Issuers of its Underlying Index will be weighted equally on each Rebalancing Date.
