The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

The Index

The Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to provide exposure to large-capitalization U.S. companies. The Index uses Lunt Capital’s proprietary relative strength methodology to rotate between the holdings of one of two sub-indices, the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index and the S&P 500 High Beta Index (each, a “Sub-Index,” and together, the “Sub-Indices”), that seek to identify the 100 components of the S&P 500 Index that most strongly exhibit a particular trait (e.g., low volatility or high beta). Each Sub-Index is composed of the 100 securities comprising the S&P 500 Index that most strongly exhibit the characteristic screened for by the Sub-Index. The S&P 500 is a free-float weighted index that measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity market. The S&P 500 includes approximately 500 leading companies and captures approximately 80% of the U.S. market capitalization. Accordingly, each Sub-Index is composed of large-capitalization equity securities. S&P Opco LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC) compiles, maintains, and calculates the S&P 500 Index and the Sub-Indices.

The S&P 500 Low Volatility Index is composed of the 100 securities comprising the S&P 500Index that have exhibited the lowest realized volatility over the prior 12 months. Each stock comprising the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index is weighted by the inverse of its volatility with the least volatile stocks receiving the highest weights. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of price fluctuations in a stock’s price over time.

The S&P 500 High Beta Index is composed of the 100 securities comprising the S&P 500 Index that have exhibited the highest sensitivity to market movements, or “beta,” over the prior 12 months. The weight of each stock in the S&P 500 High Beta Index is proportionate to its beta, rather than to its market capitalization. Beta is a measure of relative risk and is the rate of change of a security’s price.

The Index utilizes Lunt Capital’s proprietary relative strength analysis in its attempt to determine which Sub-Index is likely to exhibit better price performance than the other Sub-Index. Pursuant to this methodology, the Index Provider calculates the “Risk Adjusted Score” for each Sub-Index. Each Sub-Index’s “Risk-Adjusted Score” is calculated using the Sub-Index’s standard deviation of returns over the prior 12 months. On the final trading day of each month, the Index Provider computes the relative strength of each Sub-Index by comparing each Sub-Index’s Risk-Adjusted Score. The Index Provider considers the Sub-Index with the higher Risk-Adjusted Score to have the higher relative strength. The Index is composed of the securities comprising the Sub-Index demonstrating the greater relative strength. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced monthly, except when the Index methodology would not result in a change in the Sub-Index comprising the Index at such time.

The Fund’s Investment Strategy

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Fund’s underlying Index or in one or more ETFs that track the performance of all or a portion of such component securities in the same approximate proportion as in the Fund’s underlying Index. The Fund’s investment adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index.

The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

You can lose money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund is subject to the risks summarized below. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objectives. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund’s prospectus entitled “Additional Information about the Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds.” The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.


▪	Alternator Strategy Risk. Because the Index will be comprised of only one Sub-Index each month, the Index may be comprised of low volatility securities during a period when such securities underperform high beta securities, or vice versa.

◦

High Beta Risk. High beta investing entails investing in securities that are more volatile based on historical market index data. Volatile stocks may be subject to sharp swings in value, and may change unpredictably, affecting the value of such equity securities and, consequently, the value of Shares. High beta stocks are likely to underperform the broader market during periods of rapidly declining stock prices.

◦

Low Volatility Risk. Low volatility investing entails investing in securities that are seen as having a lower risk profile than the overall markets. However, a portfolio comprised of low volatility stocks may not produce investment exposure that has lower variability to changes in such stocks’ price levels. Low volatility stocks are likely to underperform the broader market during periods of rapidly rising stock prices.

▪

Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund, the Index Provider, the Adviser, nor the Fund’s distributor can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

▪

Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. The trading prices of equity securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. The Fund’s NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.


▪	ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is exposed to the following risks:

◦

Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. APs are generally large institutional investors that have been authorized by the Fund’s distributor to purchase and redeem large blocks of Shares (known as “Creation Units”) pursuant to legal requirements by which the Fund may offer and redeem Shares. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares of the Fund may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process Creation Units and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.


◦	Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

◦

Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

◦

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

▪

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. At times, the Fund may have a portfolio turnover rate substantially greater than 100%. A high portfolio turnover rate would result in correspondingly greater transaction expenses, including brokerage commissions, dealer mark ups and other transaction costs, on the sale of securities and on reinvestment in other securities and may result in reduced performance and the distribution to shareholders of additional capital gains for tax purposes.

▪

Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund will invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

▪

Monthly Exposure Risk. Because the Index will only change its exposure monthly, (i) the Index’s exposure may be affected by significant market movements at or near month end that are not predictive of the market’s performance for the subsequent month and (ii) changes to the Index’s exposure may lag a significant change in the market’s direction (up or down) by as long as a month if such changes first take effect at or near the beginning of a month. Such lags between market performance and changes to the Index’s exposure may result in significant underperformance relative to the broader equity or fixed income market.


▪	New Fund Risk. The Fund is new with no operating history. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it may experience greater tracking error to its Index than it otherwise would at higher asset levels, or it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in Fund Shares.


▪	Non-Diversification Risk. Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.

▪

Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed, and the Fund’s investment adviser would not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology. The Fund invests in securities included in the Index regardless of their investment merits. The Fund does not take defensive positions under any market conditions, including conditions that are adverse to the performance of the Fund.


▪	Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.


▪	Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

The Index

The Index uses an objective, rules-based methodology to provide exposure to mid-capitalization U.S. companies. The Index uses Lunt Capital’s proprietary relative strength methodology to rotate between the holdings of the highest and lowest quintile components of four factor-based indices of the S&P MidCap 400 Index (each, a “Sub-Index,” and together, the “Sub-Indices”), that seek to identify the components of the S&P MidCap 400 Index that most strongly exhibit a particular factor. The four factor groups are Momentum, Quality, Value, and Volatility.

The Index will include holdings for two of the following eight Sub-Indices:



	Momentum	Quality	Value	Volatility
Highest Quintile	S&P MidCap 400 Momentum Index	S&P MidCap 400 Quality Index	S&P MidCap 400 Enhanced Value Index	S&P MidCap 400 Volatility - Highest Quintile Index
Lowest Quintile	S&P MidCap 400 Momentum - Lowest Quintile Index	S&P MidCap 400 Quality - Lowest Quintile Index	S&P MidCap 400 Enhanced Value - Lowest Quintile Index	S&P MidCap 400 Low Volatility Index

Each Sub-Index is composed of the 80 securities (a quintile) comprising the S&P MidCap 400 Index that most strongly exhibit the characteristic screened for by the Sub-Index. The S&P MidCap 400 Index is a market-weighted index and measures the performance of mid-capitalization stocks in the United States. S&P Opco LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC) compiles, maintains, and calculates the S&P MidCap 400 Index and the Sub-Indices.

The Index utilizes Lunt Capital’s proprietary relative strength analysis in its attempt to determine which two Sub-Indices are likely to exhibit better price performance than the other Sub-Indices. Pursuant to this methodology, the Index Provider calculates the “Risk Adjusted Score” for each Sub-Index. On the final trading day of each month, the Index Provider computes the relative strength of each Sub-Index by comparing each Sub-Index’s Risk-Adjusted Score. The Index Provider considers a higher Risk-Adjusted Score to indicate greater relative strength. The Index is composed of the securities comprising the two Sub-Indices demonstrating the greatest relative strength unless such Sub-Indices include both the highest and lowest quintile from the same factor group, in which case only the Sub-Indices with the highest and third-highest Risk-Adjusted Score would be selected. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced monthly, except when the Index methodology would not result in a change in the Sub-Indices comprising the Index at such time.

The Fund’s Investment Strategy

The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

You can lose money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund is subject to the risks summarized below. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objectives. For more information about risks of investing in the Fund, See the section in the Fund’s prospectus entitled “Additional Information about the Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds.” The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.


▪	Alternator Strategy Risk. Because the Index will be comprised of only two Sub-Indices each month, the Index may be comprised of securities during a period when such securities underperform the securities of one or more other Sub-Indices.

◦

Momentum Investing Risk. Momentum investing is subject to the risk that the securities may be more volatile than the market as a whole, or that the returns on securities that previously have exhibited price momentum or proximity to price peaks are less than returns on other styles of investing. Momentum can turn quickly, and stocks that previously have exhibited high momentum may not experience continued positive momentum. In addition, investor perceptions of the value of a company may turn quickly, and stocks that have recently set multiple price peaks may not continue to do so, may be considered overvalued, and may decline faster than other investments.


◦	Quality Investing Risk. Securities that have previously been identified with quality characteristics may not continue to be quality companies, and the returns of such securities may be less than returns on other styles of investing. In addition, there may be periods when the quality style of investing is out of favor and therefore, the performance of the Fund may suffer.


◦	Value Investing Risk. A “value” style of investing could produce poor results relative to other funds, even in a rising market, if the methodology used by the Index to determine a company’s “value” or prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is wrong. In addition, “value stocks” can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

▪

Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund, the Index Provider, The Adviser, nor the Fund’s distributor can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

▪


▪	ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, is exposed to the following risks:

◦


◦	Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

◦

▪

Mid-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of mid-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of mid-capitalization companies underperform securities of other capitalization ranges or the market as a whole. Securities of smaller companies trade in smaller volumes and are often more vulnerable to market volatility than securities of larger companies.


▪	New Fund Risk. The Fund is new with no operating history. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it may experience greater tracking error to its Index than it otherwise would at higher asset levels, or it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in Fund Shares.


▪	Non-Diversification Risk.

As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it may experience greater tracking error to its Index than it otherwise would at higher asset levels, or it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in Fund Shares.


▪	Non-Diversification Risk. Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.

▪


▪	Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.


▪	Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

Strategy [Heading]

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is based on a proprietary methodology developed by LifeSci Index Partners, LLC, the Fund’s Index Provider (the “Index Provider”), which is not affiliated with the Fund, its distributor, or Pacer Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”).

The Index

The Index is generally composed of U.S.-listed stocks of companies whose products or services help protect against, endure, or recover from biological threats to human health. Companies helping to protect against such threats include those that conduct research to identify or anticipate such threats and those developing or producing the tools necessary to detect them. Companies helping to endure biological threats include those offering goods or services to help individuals, organizations, businesses, and governments adapt to requirements for social distancing or remote connectivity. Such companies may reflect a variety of industries, ranging from the provision of consumer staples that may be stockpiled in an emergency to critical healthcare supplies to basic energy resources. Companies helping to recover from a biological threat include those that support the treatment of diseases or responses to chemical or biological attacks. The Index selects companies based on a proprietary, multi-step research process. First, the Index Provider conducts fundamental research to identify the most important current and emerging biological threats to human health. Such threats may include pandemic diseases, biological warfare, food and water safety, environmental safety, and natural disasters.

Next, the Index Provider utilizes publicly available information such as financial reports and screens, corporate websites, news reports, and interviews with key opinion leaders to identify publicly traded companies which protect against and prepare for recovering from these threats. These companies have products, technologies, and services that seek to:


•	research or combat pandemic diseases such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Zika, H1N1, Ebola, avian flu, and MERS;


•	combat agents of biological or chemical warfare such as anthrax, sarin gas, variola virus, and brucellosis;


•	detect the presence of biological or chemical threats;


•	enable social distancing and increased productivity for working and shopping at home;


•	secure national borders and ports and strengthen homeland security;


•	aid in stockpiling of products in times of natural disasters and disease outbreaks, such as canned foods, power sources, consumer first aid kits, anti-microbial agents, gas masks, and sterilization supplies and services; and


•	test and improve food and water safety and purity.

Finally, the Index Provider only includes those companies with a minimum market capitalization of $1 billion and a minimum average daily value traded for the last six moths of at least $2 million. Index components are weighted based on their market capitalization, subject to a maximum weight of 4.9% at the time of rebalance. The Index is reconstituted (i.e., components are added or removed and weights are reset based on the Index methodology) on the third Friday of each January and rebalanced (i.e., weights are reset based on the Index methodology, but no components are added or removed) semi-annually as of the close of business on the third Friday of each January and July. The weights are fixed as of closing prices on the second Friday in each January and July. As of May 31, 2020, the Index was made up of 45 companies and included significant allocations to companies in the health care and industrial sectors.

The Fund’s Investment Strategy

The Fund attempts to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the component securities that make up the Index. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportion as in the Index. However, the Fund may use a “representative sampling” strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund (e.g., when replicating the Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, an Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable, or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fund but not to the Index).

The Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Index (such as reconstitutions, additions, and deletions).

The Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company than diversified funds.

To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of May 31, 2020, the Index was not concentrated in any industry or group of industries.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

•

Concentration Risk. If the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s investments may be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund’s shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries. In addition, at times, an industry or group of industries in which the Fund is concentrated may be out of favor and underperform other industries or groups of industries.


•	ETF Risks.

◦


◦	Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

◦

Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

•

Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. The trading prices of equity securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. The Fund’s NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.

•

Index Calculation Methodology Risk. The Index relies directly or indirectly on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund, the Index Provider, The Adviser, nor the Fund’s distributor can offer assurances that the Index’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or a correct valuation of securities, nor can they guarantee the availability or timeliness of the production of the Index.

•

Index Criteria Risk. Because the methodology of the Index selects securities of issuers for non-financial reasons, the Fund may underperform the broader equity market or other funds that do not utilize similar criteria when selecting investments. The performance of the Index, and consequently the Fund, will not necessarily reflect the performance of companies that have products, technologies, and services that prepare and protect against pandemic diseases, biological warfare, food and water safety, environmental safety and natural disasters.

•

Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

•


•	New Fund Risk. The Fund is new with no operating history. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it may experience greater tracking error to its Index than it otherwise would at higher asset levels, or it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in Fund Shares.


•	Non-Diversification Risk. Although the Fund intends to invest in a variety of securities and instruments, the Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund.


•	Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed, and the Adviser would not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Index in accordance with the Index methodology.


•	Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.

◦

Health Care Sector Risk. Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation, and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines, and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services.


◦	Industrials Sector Risk. The industrials sector may be affected by changes in the supply of and demand for products and services, product obsolescence, claims for environmental damage or product liability, and general economic conditions, among other factors.


•	Tracking Error Risk. As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.
