OShares Europe Quality Dividend ETF (OEUR) Exchange: BATS

The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of the Target Index.   The Target Index is designed to measure the performance of publicly-listed large-capitalization and mid-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in Europe that meet certain market capitalization, liquidity, high quality, low volatility and dividend yield thresholds, as determined by O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Index Provider”). The high quality and low volatility requirements are designed to reduce exposure to high dividend equities that have experienced large price declines.   The constituents of the Target Index are selected from the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index. S-Network Global Indexes Inc. determines eligible securities for the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index in accordance with the S-Network Country Classification System, based on measures such as country of incorporation, country of domicile, country of primary listing and country in which the greatest percentage of revenue is generated. As of June 30, 2020, the Target Index consisted of 50 securities.   The Target Index is constructed using a proprietary, rules-based methodology designed to select equity securities from the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index that have exposure to the following four factors: 1) quality, 2) low volatility, 3) dividend yield and 4) dividend quality. The “quality” factor is calculated by combining measures of profitability and leverage with the objective of identifying companies with strong profitability and balance sheets. The “low volatility” factor measures the risk of price moves for a security with the objective of reducing allocations to riskier companies. The “dividend yield” factor measures the income generated by an investment with the objective of identifying companies with higher dividend yields. The “dividend quality” factor measures the income available to a company to pay dividends to common shareholders together with the growth of a company’s dividends over time, with the objective of identifying companies with less risk of dividend cuts or suspensions.   Each company in the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index is weighted based on: (i) the company’s market capitalization weight in the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index, as adjusted by (ii) the quality, low volatility, dividend yield and dividend quality factors, with the quality and low volatility factors receiving greater emphasis. The inclusion of each company is then subject to certain constraints (e.g., diversification, capacity and sector) prior to adjusting the final weights in the Target Index. The diversification constraint limits maximum position weights. All stocks included in the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index are screened for free float (the number of shares readily available for purchase on the open market) and average daily trading volume. The sector constraints limit sector deviations. The Target Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted annually. Individual index constituent weights are capped at 5% at each quarterly rebalance to avoid overexposure to any single security. The Target Index’s investable universe includes companies from the following GICS sectors within the S-Network Europe Equity 500 Index: Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Financials, Health Care, Industrials, Information Technology and Utilities.   The Fund may use either a replication strategy or representative sampling strategy in seeking to track the performance of the Target Index. Under a replication strategy, the Fund intends to replicate the constituent securities of the Target Index as closely as possible. Under a representative sampling strategy, the Fund would invest in what it believes to be a representative sample of the component securities of the Target Index. The Fund may use a representative sampling strategy when a replication strategy might be detrimental to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of securities to follow the Target Index (e.g., where the Target Index contains component securities too numerous to efficiently purchase or sell); or, in certain instances, when a component security of the Target Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid. The Fund may also use a representative sampling strategy to exclude less liquid component securities contained in the Target Index from the Fund’s portfolio in order to create a more tradable portfolio and improve arbitrage opportunities. To the extent the Fund uses a representative sampling strategy, it may not track the Target Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire index.   Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the components of the Target Index and in depositary receipts representing such securities. To the extent that the Target Index concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its net assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is expected to concentrate to approximately the same extent.   The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments not included in the Target Index, but which Vident Investment Advisory, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) believes will help the Fund track the Target Index. For example, there may be instances in which the Sub-Adviser may choose to purchase or sell investments including exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) and other investment company securities, and cash and cash equivalents as substitutes for one or more Target Index components or in anticipation of changes in the Target Index’s components.   The Target Index methodology was developed by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Fund.
