What is CRUZ?

The Fund uses a passive management (or indexing) approach to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses of BlueStar Global Hotels, Airlines, and Cruises Index. The Index is a rules-based index that consists of globally-listed stocks of companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from the passenger airline, hotel and resort, or cruise industries ( Travel Companies ) as determined by MV Index Solutions (the Index Provider ). The Index may include companies in developed countries, including the United States, as well as emerging market countries. To be added to the Index, an Index component must meet the Index s investibility and liquidity requirements, including a market capitalization greater than or equal to US$150 million, and once included in the Index, companies are eligible to remain in the Index at reduced investibility and liquidity threshold.
