Polen Capital Global Growth ETF Risks: Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The Fund invests in emerging market and foreign securities. Investment in foreign (non‑U.S.) securities and emerging market securities may cause the Fund to experience more rapid and extreme changes in value due to economic, political and social instability of such countries.
The value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors affecting the general market, an entire industry or sector, or particular companies.
Because the Fund is “non‑diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer.
Because the Fund may take into consideration the environmental, social and governance characteristics of portfolio companies in which it may invest, the Fund may select or exclude securities of certain issuers for reasons other than potential performance.
The Fund is newly formed and has no operating history.
A commission may apply when buying or selling an ETF.
