Each ETF also employs portfolio constraints to limit significant deviations from the benchmark in key industries, countries, and other aspects.

Risk Warning
Investing in ETF carries risks, including the possibility of losses. ETF, which is index-based, is not actively managed. Actively managed ETF does not necessarily aim to replicate the performance of a specific index. Both index-based ETF and actively managed ETF face risks similar to those associated with stocks, including those related to short selling and maintaining margins. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply. The returns of the fund may not be consistent with those of the index. The fund also faces other specific risks. For more information regarding the risks associated with investment funds, please refer to the latest prospectus.
The fund does not guarantee that it will be able to achieve its investment objectives. The fund is subject to market risks, meaning that the market value of the securities held by the fund may decline, and as a result, the value of each fund share may be lower than the price paid by investors at the time of purchase. Therefore, there is a possibility that investing in this fund could result in losses.
Generally speaking, stock prices fluctuate, and sometimes the fluctuations can be significant. These fluctuations are influenced by both the specific activities of a company and the overall market conditions, as well as economic and political factors.
The investment techniques and risk analysis employed by portfolio managers may not necessarily yield the expected results.
This fund is a non-diversified fund, and its volatility may be higher than that of investments with a higher degree of diversification.
The fund employs value, momentum, and quality investment factors. Value-oriented investment styles face the risk that valuations may never improve, or that returns may lag behind those of other investment styles or the overall stock market. Securities selected using momentum or quality factors may not consistently exhibit these characteristics, and the fund may perform poorly when these investment factors are not favored by the market.
The value of a single security or a specific type of security may fluctuate more significantly than the overall market, and its performance may also differ from that of the overall market.
Larger companies with more established foundations may not be able to quickly respond to new competitive challenges, such as changes in consumer preferences or more innovative smaller competitors. The investment returns on large-cap stocks may lag behind those on smaller companies.
Small-cap stocks are often more vulnerable to adverse changes, may have higher volatility, and may lack liquidity or be subject to restrictions on resale.
If a fund has a higher proportion of its investments in a certain industry or sector, then once that industry or sector is affected by unfavorable conditions, the risks faced by the fund will also increase.
Funds also face other specific risks. For more information on the risks associated with investment funds, please refer to the latest prospectus.
