Regulatory Matters
Changes to United States tariff and trade policies have increased the volatility of foreign exchange rates and may continue to do so. This volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.
The United States, under the Trump administration, has recently implemented significant tariff increases on imports from a large number of countries, affecting a broad array of goods, and has signaled that additional tariffs may be imposed. These actions are part of a broader shift in U.S. trade policy that has at times been difficult to predict. The potential for further escalation, including the imposition of new or higher tariffs with limited notice, has contributed to increased uncertainty in global markets. In response, other countries, including China, have announced retaliatory measures. While some tariff reductions have been implemented pursuant to temporary arrangements between the United States and various trading partners, including a limited agreement with China in May 2025, such measures remain subject to reversal. These developments have contributed to increased volatility in foreign exchange markets, including fluctuations in the USD/Swiss Franc exchange rate. Sustained or increased volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of the Shares.
