Overview
Overview
NYLI U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders ETF (LRND) seeks investment results that track, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the NYLI U.S. Large Cap R&D Leaders Index, an index that seeks to provide exposure to innovative companies by investing in U.S. large-cap equity securities of companies that have high research and development (R&D) spending.
Growth potential through innovation

A passive approach to R&D
The Fund's growth screening employs a simple, yet defined approach to identify innovative companies based upon current metrics.
A core growth position
Companies with significant reinvestment into R&D can help investors seek favorable relative performance and attractive future growth potential.
Performance
Performance
Returns represent past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Expenses stated are as of the fund's most recent prospectus.
Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual Fund performance. One cannot invest directly in an index. Performance data for the Index assumes reinvestment of dividends and is net of the management fees for the Index's components, as applicable, but it does not reflect management fees, transaction costs or other expenses that you would pay if you invested in the Fund directly. No representation is being made that any investment will achieve performance similar to that shown. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Total Returns are calculated using the daily 4:00 pm ET net asset value (NAV). Since May 31, 2016, the price used to calculate the market price returns ("MP") is the mean between the day's last bid and ask prices on the fund's primary exchange. Any market price returns prior to May 31, 2016 were calculated using the day's closing price on the fund's primary exchange. The market price returns do not represent returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.
The Russell 1000 Growth is generally representative of the market sectors or types of investments in which the Fund invests.
Performance reflects a contractual fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement which shall remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Trustees of the ETF without which total returns may have been lower.

Distribution & Yields
Distribution & Yields
Subsidized Yield: the yield of a fund that includes any fee waivers or reimbursements currently in place by the fund’s manager. This figure shows the income generated by the fund after accounting for reduced expenses, giving a more favorable representation of returns under current conditions.
Unsubsidized Yield: the yield of a fund that excludes any fee waivers or reimbursements. It reflects the income the fund would generate if the full expenses were charged, offering a view of returns without any temporary fee reductions.
Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital (ROC) of your investment in the fund. Because the distribution rate and the 12-month rate may include a ROC, they should not be confused with yield or income. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders each January.
Distribution Rate: The distribution rate measures the percentage return in the form of dividends. It is calculated daily by annualizing the most recent dividend distribution and dividing by the daily share price (NAV or POP). If the Fund did not make a distribution as of the latest scheduled distribution date, "N/A" will be displayed.
12-month Rate: The 12-month rate measures the percentage return in the form of dividends. It is calculated monthly by taking the sum of the trailing 12-month dividend payments divided by the last month's ending share price (NAV or POP) plus any capital gains distributed over previous 12 months. If the Fund did not make any distributions over the previous 12 months, "N/A" will be displayed.
In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.)

Before considering an investment in the Fund, you should understand that you could lose money.
Equity Securities Risk: Investments in common stocks and other equity securities are particularly subject to the risk of changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer, conditions affecting equity markets generally and political and/or economic events. Equity prices may also be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase.
Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Large-capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.
Non-Diversified Risk: The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund.
Industry/Sector Concentration Risk: The Fund’s investment of a large percentage of its assets in the securities of issuers within the same industry or sector means that an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A concentration makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is not so concentrated.
