Fund Disclosure
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemable.
The Fund invests principally in municipal securities. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a default or bankruptcy. If a security’s structure fails to function as intended, the security could become taxable or decline in value. Additionally, issuers of municipal obligations may not be able to make timely payments because of general economic downturns or increased governmental costs.
The Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one municipal revenue sector relating to bonds backed by revenues from similar types of projects (such as those relating to higher education, healthcare, housing, airports or utilities) or with other similar economic, business, or political characteristics. However, as the Fund’s exposure to such similar projects increases, the Fund will also become more sensitive to adverse economic, business or political developments relevant to these projects.
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) considers environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors for each investment in the portfolio. ESG factors include, but are not limited to, the environmental and social impact of the issuer, as well as the issuer’s instituted governance programs. A less favorable ESG profile may not preclude the Fund from investing in a bond of an obligor, as the consideration of ESG factors may not be more influential than the consideration of other investment criteria.
ALPS Advisors, Inc. and Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (through a separately identifiable department), registered investment advisers with the SEC, are the investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively. ALPS Advisors, Inc. and ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc., affiliated entities, are unaffiliated with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.
ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. is the distributor for the Fund.
