The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Index is a weighted aggregate market price type index for all Real Estate Investment Trusts (J-REIT) listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Index is calculated, with the base date set as March 31, 2003 (closing price). It assumes the aggregate market price on that day to be 1,000, by creating an Index for aggregate market price after the above base date.

If and when necessary, the aggregate market price is modified to avoid being affected by non-market factors such as capital increase, new listings and delistings, etc., to ensure Index continuity.

Creation Flow for Cash Creation/Redemption Type ETFs

Redemption flow for Cash Creation/Redemption Type ETFs

Investors are not guaranteed the investment principal that they commit. Investors may incur a loss and the value of their investment principal may fall below par as the result of a decline in NAV. All profits and losses arising from investments in the Fund belong to the investors (beneficiaries). This fund is different from saving deposit.

The Fund invests primarily in REITs. The NAV of the Fund may fall and investors may suffer a loss due to a decline in stock prices or deterioration in the financial conditions and business performance of an equity issuer . In addition, in the case of investment in foreign currency assets, it may suffer a loss due to fluctuations in exchange rates.

Major risks are as follows:

Price Fluctuation Risk
Income and profits from the sale of real estate and real estate securitized products form the source of earnings for REITs, and REIT prices can fluctuate due to various factors including the circumstances surrounding the real estate, real estate market conditions, trends in long- and short-term interest rates and changes in the macroeconomic environment. Aging and changes in property conditions as well as the loss of or damage to properties from fire or natural disasters can also affect the price. Deterioration in dividends, financial conditions, earnings, and the market environment can cause a decline in the price of the REIT and a loss in the fund.

Liquidity Risk
In a situation where the market or trading volume is small, the price at which a security can be purchased or sold can be greatly influenced by the size of the transaction, giving rise to the risk that a transaction cannot be completed at the price expected from the market conditions, that a security cannot be sold as appraised, or that the transaction volume is limited regardless of the price level. This could lead to an unexpected loss.

Credit Risk
If Real Estate Investment Trusts become or are anticipated to become insolvent or to enter a state of holding excessive debt, there is a risk that the Fund will incur material losses.

Currency Fluctuation Risk

In a situation where foreign currency depreciates against the currency of the asset, it will have adverse effect on the price of foreign denominated asset, which can cause a decline in NAV.

Risk of Discrepancies between TSE REIT Index and NAV

This Fund seeks to match with NAV volatility with that of the TSE REIT Index; however, we cannot guarantee that movements will be identical to those of the Index for the following reasons:

• The potential market impact from the trading, etc., of individual issues when portfolio adjustments are made due to changes in the selected issues on the TSE REIT Index or capital transfers, or the costs borne by the Fund such as trust fees, brokerage commission, and audit costs, etc.
• The timing and amount of payment for the distribution of the Fund will not be completely the same as the distribution from the underlying stocks.
• Fees may be earned for securities lent.
• When derivative transactions such as futures are made, there may be disparity between the price movements of all or some of such transactions and that of the TSE REIT Index.
• Discrepancy between the NAV and the market prices on financial exchange.

This Fund is listed on and will be publicly traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange; however, the market price of units will depend mainly on the Fund's demand, its investment performance, and how attractive it is to investors in comparison to alternative investments, etc. We cannot predict whether the units of this Fund will be traded at the market value, below the NAV or above the NAV.
*The factors that contribute to fluctuations in the NAV are not limited to those listed above.

Additional Considerations

• The provisions stipulated in Article 37-6 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (the “cooling-off period”) are not applicable to Fund transactions.
• This Fund differs from deposits or insurance policies in that it is not protected by the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan or the Policyholders Protection Corporation of Japan. Furthermore, units purchased from registered financial institutions, such as banks, are exempted from compensation by the Japan Investor Protection Fund.
• When the Fund faces big redemption causing short term cash requirement or sudden change in the main trading market condition, there can be temporal decline in the liquidity of holding assets, resulting in the risks that Fund unable to trade securities at the expected market prices or appraised prices, or encounters limitation in trading volume. This may result in the negative influence on NAV, suspension of redemption applications, or delay in making payment of redemption.

Risk Management System

• The departments in charge of risk management and compliance, which are independent from fund management departments, evaluate and analyze risks and performance, risk management, and monitor the status of legal compliance.
• To maintain an appropriate management system, the departments in charge of risk management and compliance report and make proposals to the committees associated with risk management and compliance, and instruct fund management departments to take corrective actions as necessary.
  *The system described above is as of the end of February 2019, and may be subject to change in the future.
