About GLIN

The Fund currently intends to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Subsidiary, a wholly-owned subsidiary located in the Republic of Mauritius (“Mauritius”). The Subsidiary in turn will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities that comprise the Fund’s benchmark index, and depositary receipts based on the securities in the Fund’s benchmark index. For purposes of this policy, the term “assets” means net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes. The India Index is comprised of equity securities which are generally considered by MarketGrader.com Corp. (the “Index provider”) to exhibit favorable fundamental characteristics according to the Index provider’s proprietary scoring methodology. For each company eligible for the India Index, the Index provider creates a numerical score based on indicators measuring four fundamental characteristics, derived from public company filings and stock prices. The four fundamental characteristics are growth, value, profitability and cash flow. The resulting score is a weighted average of these indicators. To be initially eligible for inclusion in the India Index, companies must be domiciled in India and listed on an eligible stock exchange, as determined by the Index provider. From this universe of companies, the top-ranked names according to the Index provider’s proprietary score are included, and then weighted according to their free-float market capitalization.As of December 31, 2024, the India Index included 80 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of between approximately $0.2 billion and $176.6 billion and a weighted average market capitalization of $36.2 billion. These amounts are subject to change. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders. The Adviser serves as investment adviser to both the Fund and the Subsidiary. Except where otherwise indicated, the term “Fund,” as used throughout this Summary Section, refers to the Fund and/or the Subsidiary, as applicable.The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of the India Index by investing in a portfolio of securities that generally replicates the India Index. Unlike many investment companies that try to “beat” the performance of a benchmark index, the Fund does not try to “beat” the India Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with its investment objective of seeking to replicate the India Index. The Fund may become “non-diversified” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act of 1940”), solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the India Index. This means that the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers than would be the case if the Fund were always managed as a diversified management investment company. The Fund intends to be diversified in approximately the same proportion as the India Index. Shareholder approval will not be sought when the Fund crosses from diversified to non-diversified status due solely to a change in the relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the India Index.The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the India Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. As of December 31, 2024, each of the information technology, financials, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors represented a significant portion of the Fund.
