9 Definitions MSCI EAFE Index: An equities benchmark that captures large- and mid-cap representation across 22 developed market countries around the world, excluding the US and Canada. MSCI Emerging Markets Index: The MSCI Emerging Markets Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 23 emerging markets countries. With 834 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country. MSCI USA Total Return Index: The MSCI USA Total Return Index is designed to measure the performance of the large and mid-cap segments of the US market, with dividends reinvested. With 631 constituents, the index covers approximately 85 percent of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in the US. Drawdown: A specific decline in the stock market during a specific time period that is measured in percentage terms as a peak-to-trough move. Sharpe Ratio: A measure for calculating risk-adjusted returns that has become the industry standard for such calculations. It was developed by Nobel laureate William F. Sharpe. The Sharpe ratio is the average return earned in excess of the risk-free rate per unit of volatility or total risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio the better. Annualized Return: The periodic returns of an investment, which are adjusted to present the average return over a 1-year time period.

10 Appendix A: Important Disclosures IBG
11 Important Disclosures In general, s can be expected to move up or down in value with the value of the applicable index. Although shares may be bought and sold on the exchange through any brokerage account, shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund. Investors may acquire shares and tender them for redemption through the Fund in Creation Unit Aggregations only. Please see the Prospectus for more details. Passively managed funds invest by sampling the index, holding a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index. Non-diversified funds that focus on a relatively small number of securities tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole. A value style of investing emphasizes undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or that the returns on value equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Although subject to the risks of common stocks, low volatility stocks are seen as having a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a fund that invests in low volatility stocks may not produce investment exposure that has lower variability to changes in such stocks price levels. A quality style of investing emphasizes companies with high returns, stable earnings, and low financial leverage. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the past performance of these companies does not continue or that the returns on quality equity securities are less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Foreign investments involve greater risks than US investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations, all of which may be magnified in emerging markets. Equity securities may fluctuate in value in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Investments in small/mid companies may involve greater risks than those in larger, better known companies. Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will be maintained for shares. The information provided does not constitute investment advice and it should not be relied on as such. It should not be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell a security. It does not take into account any investor s particular investment objectives, strategies, tax status or investment horizon. You should consult your tax and financial advisor. All material has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. There is no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the information and State Street shall have no liability for decisions based on such information. Derivative investments may involve risks such as potential illiquidity of the markets and additional risk of loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. IBG
12 Important Disclosures (continued) The funds presented herein have different investment objectives, costs and expenses. Each fund is managed by a different investment firm, and the performance of each fund will necessarily depend on the ability of their respective managers to select portfolio investments. These differences, among others, may result in significant disparity in the funds portfolio assets and performance. For further information on the funds, please review their respective prospectuses. Companies with large market capitalizations go in and out of favor based on market and economic conditions. Larger companies tend to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. In exchange for this potentially lower risk, the value of the security may not rise as much as companies with smaller market capitalizations. Frequent trading of s could significantly increase commissions and other costs such that they may offset any savings from low fees or costs.
