Portfolio securities are categorized based upon their country
of incorporation, which can be different from the country
categorization of the Fund’s underlying index. For a
breakdown of the portfolio securities by sector, please see the
Sector Allocation table.
(b)
This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing
Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the
Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended. At June 30, 2023, securities noted as
such are valued at $180,772,024 or 98.3% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in
value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York

when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.
(c)
This security is exempt from registration upon resale under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”) and may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. This
security is not restricted on the foreign exchange where it
trades freely without any additional registration. As such, it
does not require the additional disclosure required of
restricted securities.
(d)

foreign institutional buyers under Regulation S of the 1933
Act.
(e)
Rate shown reflects yield as of June 30, 2023.

which they are principally traded.

restricted securities.

categorization of the Fund’s underlying index. For a
breakdown of the portfolio securities by sector, please see the

(c)
This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing
Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the
Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended. At June 30, 2023, securities noted as
such are valued at $11,026,449 or 28.3% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in
value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York
Stock Exchange close exceeding a certain threshold. On days
when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.

Portfolio securities are categorized based upon their country
of incorporation, which can be different from the country
categorization of the Fund’s underlying index. For a
breakdown of the portfolio securities by sector, please see the
Sector Allocation table.
(b)
This security is fair valued by the Advisor’s Pricing
Committee in accordance with procedures approved by the
Trust’s Board of Trustees, and in accordance with provisions
of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended. At June 30, 2023, securities noted as
such are valued at $118,408,264 or 60.7% of net assets.
Certain of these securities are fair valued using a factor
provided by a third-party pricing service due to the change in
value between the foreign markets’ close and the New York
Stock Exchange close exceeding a certain threshold. On days
when this threshold is not exceeded, these securities are
typically valued at the last sale price on the exchange on
which they are principally traded.
(c)
Non-income producing security.
(d)
All or a portion of this security is on loan for securities
lending. The remaining contractual maturity of all of the
securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous.
The aggregate value of such securities, including those sold
and pending settlement, is $498,420 and the total value of the
collateral held by the Fund is $497,000. On June 30, 2023,
the last business day of the period, there was sufficient
collateral based on the end of day market value from the
prior business day; however, as a result of market movement
from June 29 to June 30, the value of the related securities
loaned was above the collateral value received.
(e)
This security is exempt from registration upon resale under
Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“1933 Act”) and may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. This
security is not restricted on the foreign exchange where it
trades freely without any additional registration. As such, it
does not require the additional disclosure required of
restricted securities.
(f)
This security may be resold to qualified foreign investors and
foreign institutional buyers under Regulation S of the 1933
Act.
(g)
Rate shown reflects yield as of June 30, 2023.
(h)

Additional Information
June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
Valuation Inputs
The Funds are subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.
• Level 2 – Level 2 inputs are observable inputs, either directly or indirectly. (Quoted prices for similar investments, valuations based on interest rates and yield curves, or valuations derived from observable market data.)
• Level 3 – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that may reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the investment.
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
