CROB Investment Objective and Strategy

Defiance China Robotics ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by ETF Series Solutions.

Investment objective

The Defiance China Robotics ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Solactive China Humanoid Robotics Index (the “Index”).

Principal investment strategy

The Fund is an exchange traded fund (“ETF”) that uses a “passive management” (or indexing) approach to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. Solactive China Humanoid Robotics Index The Index is a rules-based index that tracks the performance of a portfolio of Chinese companies engaged in the development, manufacturing, and supply of technologies essential for humanoid robotics, including artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven robotics, motion control systems, precision actuators, and automation solutions (“Chinese Robotics Companies”). The Index is owned, calculated, administered, and published by Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”). Construction of the Index begins with the universe of equity securities that are listed on the Hong Kong Exchange or China A-Shares available through the Stock Connect Program.

In addition, all equity securities listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) and Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) that are not available through the Stock Connect Program are also eligible for inclusion in the Index. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must also meet the following criteria: (i) be headquartered in China, (ii) must have a free float market capitalization of at least $30 million USD for a current Index constituent (at least $40 million USD for a non-current Index constituent) on Selection Day (defined below), (iii) have a minimum average daily value traded over one month and over six months of at least $15 million USD for a current Index constituent (at least $20 million USD for a non-current Index constituent) on Selection Day, and (iv) only one share class of each company is eligible for inclusion in the Index universe (collectively, the companies meeting such criteria are referred to as the “Index Universe”).

The selection of companies for inclusion in the Index is based on a screening of the Index Universe using ARTIS®, the Index Provider’s proprietary natural language processing algorit
