Why ZYUS?

U.S. exposure

ZYUS offers exposure to companies from within the S&P 500. Yield: S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend Index produces a dividend yield that is more than double that of the S&P 500 over the long-term.

Captures the low vol factor

The low volatility screening used in the S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend Index results in a more defensive sector allocation than the S&P 500 and has historically provided superior long-term, risk-adjusted returns.

Index Description / Objective

The S&P 500 Low Volatility High Dividend Index serves as a benchmark for income seeking equity investors. The index is designed to provide exposure to 50 high yielding companies from the S&P 500, while meeting diversification, volatility and tradability requirements.

At each semi-annual rebalance, the Index selects the 75 highest yielding eligible shares from the S&P 500. From this selection, the 50 least volatile shares are included in the Index.

Index constituents are weighted in proportion to their dividend yields.

How we invest your money

Index methodology

The methodology employed by S&P in calculating the Index can be found at www.spindices.com

The top 75 highest-yielding stocks from the S&P 500 are selected. The top 50 least volatile stocks from that list of 75 stocks are identified.

The final 50 stocks are weighted according to dividend yield.

Sector weights are capped at 25% and there are no more than 10 stocks from each sector. Rebalanced semi-annually.

Index tracking

Each Fund will attempt to (before fees and expenses) fully replicate the performance of the relevant Index by investing its assets in a portfolio of securities that comprise the Index in proportion to the weight assigned to each security within the Index.

Any changes in the composition of an Index, whether due to scheduled rebalancing or other unscheduled events (e.g. corporate actions), will generally be reflected in the portfolio of securities held by a Fund as soon as practically possible.

In certain circumstances, it may not be possible or practical for the Responsible Entity to exactly replicate the Index. For example, trading in particular securities may be suspended. In other circumstances the exact replication of the Index may be impractical or excessively costly, for example where the Index comprises a large number of securities that are assigned small weights.

To assist investors, each Fund's full portfolio holdings will be published on a daily basis at the same time that Authorised Participants and market makers are provided with portfolio composition files.

Each Fund may hold derivative contracts from time to time, such as exchange traded options written on the Index or its constituent securities, and other investments that do not comprise the Index, but help to achieve the investment objectives of that Fund. These other investments that do not comprise the index may include for example:

• cash or short term deposits;

• related securities such as tradable rights resulting from corporate actions undertaken by Index constituents;

• depository receipts or other securities that may be substituted for Index constituents that are impractical or costly to trade; and

• futures, options, swaps or other ETFs with similar exposures to the Index that may help minimise deviations from the Index, where appropriate.

These are expected to be used in limited circumstances.

Cash balances may also be held in each Fund from time to time. None of the Funds will engage in securities lending.
