About HealthShares(TM)
XShares Advisors LLC, a financial services company based in New York,
is the creator of the HealthShares(TM) family of Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs). HealthShares(TM) ETFs are organized into therapeutic 'Verticals'
and represent specific areas of the healthcare, life science and
biotechnology industries. Each Vertical addresses a distinct sub-segment of
healthcare, such as the diagnosis and treatment of specific therapeutic
areas (e.g. cardiology, cancer, infectious disease, etc.) and the
development of medical devices (e.g. orthopedic repair, cardio devices,
etc.). Each ETF tracks an index of 22-25 stocks and offers institutional
and individual investors a more precise financial instrument that leverages
the potential of healthcare investing while mitigating the risks of single
stock picking. For more information, visit the company's website at:
www.healthsharesinc.com.
About XShares
XShares Advisors LLC, a subsidiary of XShares Group LLC, is a
registered investment advisor that provides investment advisory services to
Exchange Traded Funds. XShares also partners with major institutions and
index providers seeking to bring innovative Exchange Traded Funds to market
using its administrative platform. In addition, XShares creates and
licenses distinctive intellectual property for its ETFs, developing
products that allow for innovative trading strategies and alternative
investments for the financial community. For more information, visit the
company's website at www.xsharesadvisors.com.
An Investor should consider the fund's investment objective, risks,
charges and expenses carefully before investing. For this and more complete
information about the fund call 800.925.2870 or visit the website
www.healthsharesinc.com for a prospectus. Please read the prospectus
carefully before investing.
There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including possible loss
of money. HealthShares(TM) are not actively managed and are subject to
risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and
margin maintenance. Losses from short sales may be unlimited, and losses
from purchases on margin may exceed original investment. HealthShares(TM)
ETFs are subject to increased risks associated with investing in a specific
sector compared to a more diversified investment, as well as unique risks
associated with the healthcare and biotechnology sector (i.e., government
regulation, patent regulation, etc.). The ETFs face additional risks
attributable to their investments in small and medium capitalization
companies which are subject to higher volatility than larger, more
established companies. In addition, they are invested in a limited number
of securities and a decline in the value of these investments would cause
the fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree than in a less
concentrated portfolio. Global or International Funds invest in foreign
securities that will be subject to certain risks not associated with
domestic securities, such as currency fluctuations, and changes in
political and economic conditions. The prospectus is not an offer to buy or
sell the portfolio shares, nor is the fund soliciting an offer to buy its
shares in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
HealthShares(TM) Exchange Traded Funds are distributed by ALPS
Distributors, Inc.
XShares Advisors LLC and ALPS Distributors, Inc. are unaffiliated
entities.
