| Example | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods.

| Portfolio Turnover | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example above, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund is new and does not yet have a portfolio turnover rate to disclose. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Principal Investment Strategies | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in global equity markets, both developed and emerging. The Fund’s strategy is a reflection of Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC’s, (“GMO” or the “Adviser”) view that the world economy is transitioning to a lower carbon future, a transition GMO believes will create secular growth opportunities. The Fund seeks to capture these opportunities and mitigate related risks through significant exposure to investments providing impactful climate solutions and a lower total carbon footprint (direct and indirect) than the MSCI ACWI ex-Fossil Fuels Index, while maintaining diversification and controlling for exposure to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks.
In selecting securities for purchase and sale by the Fund, GMO uses a combination of systematic investment methods and datasets, as well as other publicly available financial information. In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, GMO considers total emissions, company-level revenues associated with environmentally positive business activities (e.g., water management, treatment and delivery, waste and pollution management, efficient transportation), position size, sector and industry exposure, country and region exposure, currencies, market capitalization, liquidity, and transaction costs. At times, the Fund may have substantial exposure to a single asset class, industry, sector, country, region, issuer, or currency and companies with similar market capitalizations. The Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization. The factors GMO considers and investment methods GMO uses can change over time.
The Fund also may invest in the GMO U.S. Treasury Fund, a mutual fund advised by GMO, or in money market funds unaffiliated with GMO, and directly in the types of investments typically held by money market funds. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Performance Information | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Fund is new and therefore has no performance history. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s returns and comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad measure of market performance. When available, updated performance information will be available on the Fund’s website at https://www.gmo.com/americas/investment-capabilities/etfs. Of course, the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
