We are always listening to understand the needs of our clients and those that they serve. With these three UCITS ETFs, we are offering more value-added tools to give our clients the flexiblity they need to build asset allocations tailored to their goals."

Richard Adams, Head of EMEA for American Century and Avantis Investors said "This is an exciting time and we are thrilled to launch three new UCITS ETFs in the market. The new UCITS ETFs are an example of how Avantis prioritizes understanding our clients very well and embracing investment solutions that are responsive to the needs of our clients."

All three ETFs feature efficient and active portfolio management and trading processes and combine the potential for outperformance with the consistency of indexing. See Important Risks Disclosures.

Investment Risk Information:

There can be no assurance that each Fund will achieve its investment objective. The value of Shares and the income therefrom may rise or fall as the capital values of a Fund's investments fluctuate. The investment income of a Fund is based on the income earned on the securities it holds, less expenses incurred. Therefore, a Fund's investment income may be expected to fluctuate in response to changes in such income or expenses. The value of equity securities, may fluctuate due to changes in investor perception of a specific issuer, changes in the general condition of the stock market, or occurrences of political or economic events that affect equity issuers and the market. Historically, small- and mid-cap stocks have been more volatile than the stock of larger, more-established companies. Smaller companies may have limited resources, product lines and markets, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than the securities of larger companies. International investing involves special risks, such as political instability and currency fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional instruments. Derivatives can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value, and changes in the value of a derivative held by the fund may not correlate with the value of the underlying instrument. Derivatives are subject to a number of other risks, including interest, market and credit risk. The information is not intended as a personalized recommendation or fiduciary advice and should not be relied upon for investment, accounting, legal or tax advice. For full information on the risks, please refer to the relevant sections of the Prospectus and KIID/KID.

***Expected Returns: Valuation theory shows that the expected return of a stock is a function of its current price, its book equity (assets minus liabilities) and expected future profits, and that the expected return of a bond is a function of its current yield and its expected capital appreciation (depreciation). We use information in current market prices and company financials to identify differences in expected returns among securities, seeking to overweight securities with higher expected returns based on this current market information. Actual returns may be different than expected returns, and there is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful.
