Delaware Management Company is a series of Nomura Investment Management Business Trust (a Delaware statutory trust).
Nomura ETF Trust exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are actively managed and do not seek to replicate a specific index. ETF shares are bought and sold through an exchange at the then current market price, not net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV when traded on an exchange. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for ETFs will develop or be maintained, or that the ETF's listing will continue or remain unchanged.
Market risk is the risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — like the stock market or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.
The Fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political, and economic conditions within Japan and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. Japan's economic growth is dependent on international trade, and slowdowns in the economies of key trading partners could have a negative impact on the Japanese economy. Japan also lacks many natural resources, and, as such, price increases, volatility or shortages in the commodities markets and currency fluctuations could adversely affect Japan's economy. Japan's labor market is adapting to an aging workforce and declining population, and such demographic shifts may hinder Japan's economic competitiveness in the future.
Foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities may be adversely affected by political instability, changes in currency exchange rates, inefficient markets and higher transaction costs, foreign economic conditions, the imposition of economic or trade sanctions, or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards.
Industry and sector risk is the risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as electronics or financials) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.
Geographic focus risk is the risk that local political and economic conditions could adversely affect the performance of a fund investing a substantial amount of assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries
Depositary receipts, such as American depositary receipts (ADRs) and global depositary receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer that are issued by depositary banks and generally trade on an established market. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, including, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, currency movements and different legal, regulatory and tax environments.
Government and regulatory risk is the risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect fund performance.
A nondiversified fund has the flexibility to invest as much as 50% of its assets in as few as two issuers with no single issuer accounting for more than 25% of the fund. The remaining 50% of its assets must be diversified so that no more than 5% of its assets are invested in the securities of a single issuer. Because a nondiversified fund may invest its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares may increase or decrease more rapidly than if it were fully diversified.
The Fund is a newly organized management investment company with no operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board") may determine to liquidate the Fund.
