Internet adoption is expanding rapidly within emerging markets and China at the same time that domestic consumption and retail sales are steadily increasing and frequently taking place online. We believe this growth represents a long-term secular trend that could continue to play out over the course of decades.

KWEB has over a ten-year track record and is one of the largest China ETFs globally.2 KWEB also has a profoundly liquid options market, which has enabled us to create a suite of ETFs offering investors growth, downside hedge, and options income opportunities through defined outcome and covered call strategies.

Growth, Income, and Defined Outcome Opportunities From KWEB

What is a Defined Outcome ETF?

  • A defined outcome ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investors with upside returns of an underlying asset subject to an upside return "Cap" while protecting shareholders by providing a "Buffer" against decreases in the price return of the underlying asset. The upside cap may be higher for underlying assets with higher volatility.

What is a Covered Call ETF?

  • A covered call ETF is an exchange-traded fund that provides investors with premium income by writing options on stocks or ETFs.
  • Covered call ETFs manage the options exposure for investors, which can be more economical and time efficient than buying individual options.
  • Writing covered calls may produce higher yields during periods of market volatility.

Exposure to KWEB Provides:

  • Access to Chinese internet companies that provide similar services as Google, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, Amazon, etc.
  • Exposure to companies benefitting from increasing domestic consumption by China's growing middle class
  • Exposure to Chinese internet companies listed in both the United States and Hong Kong

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice.

A-Shares are issued by companies in mainland China and traded on local exchanges. They are available to domestic and certain foreign investors, including QFIs and those participating in Stock Connect Programs like Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong. Foreign investments in A-Shares face various regulations and restrictions, including limits on asset repatriation. A-Shares may experience frequent trading halts and illiquidity, which can lead to volatility in KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB’s share price and increased trading halt risks. The Chinese economy is an emerging market, vulnerable to domestic and regional economic and political changes, often showing more volatility than developed markets. Companies face risks from potential government interventions, and the export-driven economy is sensitive to downturns in key trading partners, impacting KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB. U.S.-China tensions raise concerns over tariffs and trade restrictions, which could harm China’s exports and KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB. China’s regulatory standards are less stringent than in the U.S., resulting in limited information about issuers. Tax laws are unclear and subject to change, potentially impacting KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB and leading to unexpected liabilities for foreign investors. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values.

KPRO and KBUF have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. An investment in KPRO and KBUF may not be appropriate for investors who do not intend to hold Fund shares for the entire Outcome Period. In the event an investor purchases shares after the beginning of the Outcome Period or sells shares prior to end of the Outcome Period, the returns realized by the investor may not match those that KPRO and KBUF seeks to provide. KPRO and KBUF may not fully protect against KWEB losses if its share price drops during the Outcome Period. Buying or selling shares during this time may affect the Buffer’s availability. Even if KWEB’s value rises, the Buffer won’t guard against any subsequent decrease.

A new Cap is set at the start of each Outcome Period and depends on current market conditions. Therefore, the Cap may change between Outcome Periods and is unlikely to stay constant. Investors should keep track of Cap changes for each Outcome Period, details of which will be provided according to the process outlined in KPRO and KBUF’s prospectus. KPRO and KBUF aim to provide returns subject to a Cap, but there is no guarantee of success. If KPRO and KBUF’s gains exceed the Cap, KPRO and KBUF won’t appreciate beyond the Cap and will underperform. Due to the Cap, KPRO and KBUF may significantly underperform KWEB. Buying shares after the Outcome Period starts may limit gains, exposing to potential losses. Selling shares before the Outcome Period ends may result in underperformance.

KPRO and KBUF may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify KPRO and KBUF's gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. KPRO and KBUF are subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause KPRO and KBUF to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative. KPRO and KBUF will use FLEX options from the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). There’s a risk of the OCC failing to meet its obligations. KPRO and KBUF may face challenges in less liquid FLEX options markets and have difficulty closing positions at desired times and prices. If the unlikely event the OCC becomes insolvent, KPRO and KBUF could suffer losses. Failure by market participants to enter into FLEX options transactions that reflect market value could result in losses. Some FLEX options may expire worthless. The value of these options is associated with KWEB and influenced by factors such as market fluctuations and time until expiration.

KPRO, KBUF and KLIP are new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If KPRO, KBUF and KLIP do not grow in size, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid-ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a trading halt. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, KPRO, KBUF, KLIP, KEMQ and KWEB are subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility.

By writing call options in return for the receipt of premiums, KLIP will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the Index above the exercise prices of such options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the Index. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying stocks over time. As a result, the risks associated with writing call options may be similar to the risks associated with writing put options. In addition, KLIP’s ability to sell the securities underlying the options will be limited while the options are in effect unless KLIP cancels out the option positions through the purchase of offsetting identical options prior to the expiration of the written options. As the writer of a call option, KLIP may not be able to control the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation to the purchaser of the option; however, the terms of the FLEX options written by KLIP will make them exercisable only on their expiration date. Exchanges may suspend the trading of options in volatile markets. If trading is suspended, KLIP may be unable to write options at times that may be desirable or advantageous to do so. Premiums KLIP receives from writing call options will result in short-term capital gains and will be distributed as ordinary income. As a result, a significant portion of distributions could be taxed at effective rates higher than those that would apply if KLIP engaged in a different investment strategy.

The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses.

Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative.

KLIP and KWEB may invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile. In addition, as KLIP and KWEB increase in size, the impact of IPOs on KLIP and KWEB’s performance will generally decrease. KBUF, KLIP, KPRO and KWEB are non-diversified.

ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning 12/23/2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
