 The Index is comprised of four Sub-Indices, each of which provides exposure to a different equity market, weighted as follows: 50% Large-Cap U.S. stocks, 10% Small-Cap U.S. stocks, 25% International Developed Market stocks, and 15% Emerging Market stocks. In order to obtain exposure to these markets, the Index is allocated on a fixed-weight basis, rebalancing once a year, to the four Sub-Indices. Each Sub-Index obtains exposure to one of the relevant markets by tracking the performance of the relevant futures contract.On the specified monthly determination date, the allocation of each Sub-index is determined based on the observation of a pre-defined Tactical Trigger: the relevant daily moving average (DMA). If a specific ETF that tracks the relevant market (indicated on page 3) is at or above its relevant DMA (a bullish trend), the Sub-Index will allocate to equity via the relevant futures contract plus the Federal Funds rate (to replicate the total return) or only to the Federal Funds rate if the ETF is below its relevant DMA (a bearish trend).  Index Objectives:The RBC Global Tactical Equity Total Return Index is designed to meet or exceed risk-adjusted returns relative to the benchmark by optimizing asset allocation (equities versus cash) and geographic exposure. This dynamic asset allocation is implemented by observing bullish or bearish trends in each of four broad-based equity indices, on a monthly basis, to determine the exposure to each of these markets versus cash.Index Ticker Symbols:Bloomberg: RBCEGTUT IndexThomson Reuters: .RBCEGTUTIndex Launch Date:February 18, 2019Index Base Date:December 19, 2007Asset Class: EquityFixed Income (Cash)Target Allocations: Large Cap US (50%)International Developed (25%)Emerging Market (15%)Small Cap US (10%)Rebalanced annuallyLast Rebalancing Date:December 19, 2018Benchmark:MSCI ACWI Net Total Return USD Index Bloomberg: M1WD Index Thomson Reuters: .MIWD00000NUS Liquidity:The Index tracks equity futures and cash.

Accordingly, all of the information about the performance of the Index prior to that date is based on hypothetical back-tested information. The hypothetical performance of the Index is based on criteria that have been applied retroactively with the benefit of hindsight; these criteria cannot account for all financial risk that may affect the actual performance of the Index in the future. The future performance of the Index may vary significantly from the hypothetical performance data in this document. For example, not all of the futures contracts and ETFs upon which the Index is based existed during all the periods shown; accordingly, we have used other related financial assets for those periods, when needed. In addition, please note that the back-tested performance of the Index set forth in this document does not reflect the deduction of any fees and charges that would be applicable to a financial instrument that references the Index.For the full Index methodology, please visit the following link: www.solactive.com
