Fund Performance
Fund Strategy
The investment seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Grayscale Future of Finance Index (the “Index”).The index is designed by Bloomberg Index Services Limited to consist of U.S. and non-U.S. equity securities of companies that have been classified by the index provider as providing exposure to the “Future of Finance”, as identified by the intersection of finance, technology and digital assets. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the fund’s net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested in the component securities of the index. It is non-diversified.

Leveraged Exchange Traded ProductsLeveraged ETPs (exchange-traded products) typically use derivatives to attempt to multiply the returns of the underlying index each day. These securities trade much differently than other ETPs. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-leveraged counterparts. It is important to remember that these securities are generally designed for daily use only, and are generally not intended to be held overnight, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the ETP’s multiple of the underlying index over those periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. Leveraged Closed-end FundsFunds that borrow money to purchase more assets in this way will generally move up more than the market when the market rises and move down farther than the market when the market falls. Bond funds that use leverage have the potential to increase the amount of income that they pay out, but at the cost of larger drops in value during a falling market. Leverage inherently increases the level of risk in a portfolio. | No | Portfolio Turnover | -- |
| For ETFs, this refers to the number of times the fund is long or short the index to explain its leverage factor. For example, -300 means that the ETF is short 3 times the index. | -- | ESG FundEnvironmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is the industry term Schwab has chosen to use as an umbrella term to describe various investing approaches that consider not only traditional measures of risk and return, but environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors as well. Schwab uses ESG to broadly encompass ESG investing , but also investing approaches described as "values-based investing," "impact investing," "sustainable investing," and other approaches. An ESG product may apply ESG factors to its investment or governance processes in many different ways. A product that employs ESG strategies may choose to focus on one or more ESG factors, though an ESG product may also include securities that don't fit any ESG category. The information displayed utilizes the Morningstar "Sustainable Investment - Overall" datapoint. Click here to learn more about ESG at Schwab. 0222-22DC | No |
| Fund Company | Grayscale ETF | Active Semi-transparent Active Semi-transparent ETFsActive semi-transparent ETFs reveal full portfolio holdings only on a monthly or quarterly basis, not daily like traditional ETFs. There are different degrees of transparency as some firms will not disclose any daily holdings and others will reveal holdings daily, but shield certain positions and weights. Certain active semi-transparent ETFs may not be available for purchase or custody at Schwab. 1120-0XLE | No |
| Morningstar Category Digital assets that utilize blockchain technology can be described as an immutable, permissionless and often decentralized digital database. Digital asset portfolios will invest the majority of their assets into one or more broadly classified areas including; Decentralized Finance (DeFi) assets, stable coins, currency assets, smart contracts platforms, exchange assets, privacy assets, yield farming, and nonfungible tokens (NFTs) among others. Digital assets are often characterized by two risk style factors momentum and volatility. Portfolios may gain access to digital assets through physical or derivative exposures and incorporate both long only investments and other hedging techniques. To qualify for inclusion, funds in this category must have a material portion of risk coming from digital assets | Digital Assets | Buffer ETFs provide investors with the opportunity to participate in the upside of an asset’s risk while giving investors some level of downside protection during a stated outcome period (typically one year). An upside return cap represents the maximum percentage of return an investor can achieve, and an investor will not participate in any excess returns above the cap. Buffer ETFs may limit an investor’s losses up to an ETF’s stated buffer limit; however, in the event of a decline in the underlying investments in excess of the buffer limit, the investor can experience those losses. Return cap and downside buffer levels for a Buffer ETF are established at the beginning of each outcome period and will likely differ from the prior outcome period. Buffer ETFs invest primarily in FLexible EXchange (“FLEX”) options to employ a structured or defined outcome strategy. 0721-13DB | No |
InverseInverse ETPs (exchange-traded products) typically use derivatives to attempt to move in the opposite direction of the underlying index by a certain multiple each day. They generally have either a negative number like –1x or –2x or a term like “short” or “inverse” in their names. These securities trade much differently than other ETPs. They have the propensity to be more volatile and are inherently riskier than their non-inverse counterparts. It is important to remember that these securities are designed for daily use only, and are not intended to be held overnight, because their returns over longer periods generally do not match the ETP’s negative multiple of the underlying index over longer periods. These funds are not appropriate for most investors. | No | ||

Why are ETFs so popular?
Exchange traded funds have gained the favor of investors because of their low expense ratios, tax efficiency, diversification, trading flexibility and liquidity. They offer a lower relative cost alternative to other vehicles such as stocks and many mutual funds.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not indicate future results. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are not individually redeemable directly with the ETF. Shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than the net asset value (NAV). Current performance may be lower or higher. See the Performance tab for updated monthly returns.
Investors should consider carefully information contained in the prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a prospectus by calling 800-435-4000. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Morningstar Ratings do not take into account sales loads that may apply to certain third party funds. The Overall Morningstar Ratings are derived from a weighted average of the risk adjusted performance figures associated with a Fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.
Leveraged ETPs (Exchanged Traded Products, such a ETFs and ETNs), seek to provide a multiple of the investment returns of a given index or benchmark on a daily basis. Inverse ETPs seek to provide the opposite of the investment returns, also daily, of a given index or benchmark, either in whole or by multiples. Due to the effects of compounding and possible correlation errors, leveraged and inverse products may experience greater losses than one would ordinarily expect. Compounding can also cause a widening differential between the performances of an ETP and its underlying index or benchmark, so that returns over periods longer than one day can differ in amount and direction from the target return of the same period. Consequently, these ETPs may experience losses even in situations where the underlying index or benchmark has performed as hoped. Aggressive investment techniques such as futures, forward contracts, swap agreements, derivatives, options, can increase ETP volatility and decrease performance. Investors holding these ETPs should therefore monitor their positions as frequently as daily. To find out more about trading Leveraged and Inverse Products, please read Leveraged and Inverse Products: What you need to know.
Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) are distinct from Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). ETNs are debt instruments backed by the credit of the issuer and carry inherent credit risk. In some instances, ETNs can be subject to early redemption prior to maturity at the issuer’s discretion. Therefore, their value when called may be less than the market price that you paid or even zero, resulting in a partial, or total, loss of your investment. ETNs are not generally appropriate for the average investor. To find out more about ETNs, please read Exchange-Traded Notes: The facts and the risks.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies implemented by mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and separately managed accounts are currently subject to inconsistent industry definitions and standards for the measurement and evaluation of ESG factors; therefore, such factors may differ significantly across strategies. As a result, it may be difficult to compare ESG investment products. Further, some issuers may present their investment products as employing an ESG strategy, but may overstate or inconsistently apply ESG factors. An investment product's ESG strategy may significantly influence its performance. Because securities may be included or excluded based on ESG factors rather than other investment methodologies, the product's performance may differ (either higher or lower) from the overall market or comparable products that do not have ESG strategies. Environmental ("E") factors can include climate change, pollution, waste, and how an issuer protects and/or conserves natural resources. Social ("S") factors can include how an issuer manages its relationships with individuals, such as its employees, shareholders, and customers as well as its community. Governance ("G") factors can include how an issuer operates, such as its leadership composition, pay and incentive structures, internal controls, and the rights of equity and debt holders. Carefully review an investment product's prospectus or disclosure brochure to learn more about how it incorporates ESG factors into its investment strategy.
