On or about September 19, 2025, the description of the Funds’ current index in each Fund’s Summary Prospectus and Prospectus will be replaced with the following description of the new index:
The Index is a rules-based, modified capitalization-weighted, float-adjusted index intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of companies that are involved primarily in the gold and silver mining industry as defined by MarketVector IndexesTM GmbH (the “Index Provider”). To be initially eligible for the Index, (i) companies must generate at least 50% (25% for current Index components) of their revenues from gold and/or silver mining/royalties/streaming or have at least 50% (25% for current Index components) of their mineral resources related to gold and/or silver and (ii) all stocks must have a market capitalization of greater than $150 million as of the end of the month prior to the month in which a rebalancing date occurs. The weight of companies with less than 50% exposure to gold-related activities will not exceed 20% of the Index at rebalance.
As of July 15, 2025, the Index had 45 constituents, which were concentrated in the gold mining industry, which is included in the materials sector. The Index is currently reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly. The Index Provider may delay or change a scheduled rebalancing or reconstitution of the Index or the implementation of certain rules at its sole discretion. The Fund does not invest directly in gold or gold futures contracts.
In addition, on page 3 of each Fund’s Summary Prospectus and on pages 180 and 190 of the statutory Prospectus, the paragraph immediately following the table under “Principal Investment Risks - Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk” is replaced with the following:
The Index had only recently commenced operations as of the date of this Prospectus and therefore historical Index volatility and performance are not yet available. In the future, historical Index volatility and performance will be presented in this section. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
The section titled "Index Information" of each Fund's Summary Prospectus at page 10 and the Statutory Prospectus on pages 187 and 197 is deleted.
Additionally, information regarding the New Index’s volatility will be added to "Table 2 - Historic Volatility of each Fund's Benchmark Index" on page 314 in the Funds' statutory Prospectus as follows:
