About KBWP

The Fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities that comprise the Underlying Index. Strictly in accordance with its guidelines and mandated procedures, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Nasdaq, Inc. (“KBW Nasdaq” or the “Index Provider”) compile, maintain and calculate the Underlying Index, which is a modified-market capitalization-weighted index designed to track the performance of companies primarily engaged in U.S. property and casualty insurance activities, as determined by the Index Provider.  As of October 31, 2023, the Underlying Index was comprised of 24 securities with market capitalizations ranging from $471 million to $92.5 billion. The Fund employs a “full replication” methodology in seeking to track the Underlying Index, meaning that the Fund generally invests in all of the securities comprising the Underlying Index in proportion to their weightings in the Underlying Index. The Fund is “non-diversified” and therefore is not required to meet certain diversification requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Concentration Policy. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets) in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries only to the extent that the Underlying Index reflects a concentration in that industry or group of industries. The Fund will not otherwise concentrate its investments in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries. As of August 31, 2023, the Fund had significant exposure to the insurance industry. The Fund’s portfolio holdings, and the extent to which it concentrates its investments, are likely to change over time.
