A copy of Nasdaq Dorsey Wright ADV, Parts I and 2 are available upon request (NDWSupport@nasdaq.com).

Dorsey, Wright & Associates, LLC ("Nasdaq Dorsey Wright") is a subsidiary of Nasdaq, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries and affiliates, "Nasdaq"). Nasdaq, Inc. is a publicly traded corporation (NDAQ) and its regulated subsidiaries include: The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, Nasdaq PHLX LLC, Nasdaq BX, Inc., and The Nasdaq Options Market, all of which are SEC-registered national securities exchanges; Nasdaq Execution Services, LLC, a registered broker-dealer that routes orders in equities and options to the appropriate market center for execution. Nasdaq also has subsidiaries that are foreign securities exchanges that receive listing and trading fees.

Nasdaq Dorsey Wright will not publish research or make recommendations concerning NDAQ, nor trade the security for its Investment Management clients. Nasdaq Dorsey Wright may, however, publish research on, recommend or trade other securities listed on the Nasdaq exchanges, which receive fees from the listed companies and futures. Dorsey Wright will not take into account where a security is listed or traded in exercising its independent judgment for clients. In addition, Nasdaq Dorsey Wright does not manage or control where clients' broker/dealers route orders for execution. Accordingly, client orders may be routed to the subsidiaries of Nasdaq, Inc. for execution. These markets receive trading fees.

Nasdaq and its subsidiaries receive index licensing fees from investment product sponsors, as well as index calculation fees from index providers. These fees may be asset based. With respect to ETFs and other investment products for which Nasdaq may receive licensing or asset-based fees, Nasdaq Dorsey Wright may, from time to time, (i) recommend such an ETF or other investment product in research for which Dorsey Wright receives fees; (ii) include such an ETF or other investment product in models or indexes for which Dorsey Wright receives an asset based fee; and/or (iii) recommend or include such an ETF or other investment product in the investment management accounts. While Nasdaq Dorsey Wright does not receive any portion of Nasdaq's licensing or asset-based fees directly, the firm may indirectly benefit as a subsidiary that is part of a Nasdaq business unit. To manage this potential conflict of interest, in the case of Nasdaq Dorsey Wright research or index and model licensing, Nasdaq Dorsey Wright would only include the Nasdaq investment product if the product helps to meet the stated objectives of the strategy and it otherwise meets the rules-based methodology associated with the strategy. In the case of the investment management accounts, Nasdaq Dorsey Wright will only recommend or include the Nasdaq investment product when the recommendation is suitable and meets the client's stated investment objectives. Nasdaq Dorsey Wright will not take into account the fees received by Nasdaq, Inc. and its affiliates in exercising Nasdaq Dorsey Wright's independent judgment for clients.

Some performance information that Nasdaq Dorsey Wright makes available to eligible users is the result of back-tested performance. Back-tested performance is hypothetical and is provided for informational purposes to illustrate the effects of the strategy during a specific period. The hypothetical returns have been developed and tested by Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, but have not been verified by any third party and are unaudited. Back-testing performance differs from actual performance because it is achieved through retroactive application of a model investment methodology designed with the benefit of hindsight. Model performance data (both back-tested and live) does not represent the impact of material economic and market factors might have on an investment advisor's decision making process if the advisor were actually managing client money. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Future returns are not guaranteed, and a loss of original capital may occur.

There are risks inherent in international investments, which may make such investments unsuitable for certain clients. These include, for example, economic, political, currency exchange, rate fluctuations, and limited availability of information on international securities. Nasdaq Dorsey Wright and its affiliates make no representation that the companies which issue securities which are the subject of their research reports are subject to, or in compliance with certain informational reporting requirements imposed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Sales of securities covered on this site or in this report may be made in only those jurisdictions where such securities are qualified for sale. Investors in securities with values influenced by foreign currencies effectively assume currency risk because foreign-currency-denominated securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or price of, or income derived from, such securities.

Options trading involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. When participating in a covered call strategy, the investor is at risk of having to sell the stock if the stock's price rises above the strike price. Remember, in exchange for receiving the premium of having sold the calls, the investor is obligated to sell the stock if the option is exercised. The relative strength strategy is NOT a guarantee. There may be times where all investments and strategies are unfavorable and depreciate in value. There may be instances when fundamental, technical, and quantitative opinions may not be in concert.

The Dorsey Wright Focus Five Index is the exclusive property of Dorsey Wright & Associates, LLC ("Dorsey Wright"). Dorsey Wright has contracted with Nasdaq affiliates to calculate and maintain the Dorsey Wright Focus Five Index. Nasdaq or its affiliates shall have no liability for any errors or omissions in calculating the Dorsey Wright Focus Five Index.

25. Billing Terms and Conditions

The definition of "User" for subscription services to the Site ( www.dorseywright.nasdaq.com ) described herein is defined as the person who signs up for a subscription to our website research services, creating their unique User ID and password. To be eligible as an Account owner, you represent and warrant that you are a natural person at least 18 years of age. DWA acknowledges that User may designate another party to receive or pay invoices, provided that User shall assume all responsibility for any actions and/or inactions of such party with respect to payment obligations. Please note: a User may or may not be the person or party receiving or paying invoices.

To the extent the User has subscribed to Services, such subscription will be in effect for the selected period (month, quarter, semi-annual, annual) from the initial date of subscription (the "Initial Term"), and shall automatically renew for additional successive one (1) billing period, as already selected (each, a "Renewal Term"). You may decline or change the frequency of the Renewal Term by providing DWA notice via email to: NDWCancellations@Nasdaq.com (or other instructions provided via the Site) of your intent not to accept the renewal term at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the expiration of the then-current term. User acknowledges that the Services are billed automatically until cancellation.
