Carefully consider each Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information can be found in each Fund’s prospectus or, if available, the summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting bondbloxxetf.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. Investing in mortgage- and asset-backed securities involves interest rate, credit, valuation, extension and liquidity risks and the risk that payments on the underlying assets are delayed, prepaid, subordinated or defaulted on.

Tax aware risk is the possibility that the use of investment practices that seek to minimize tax consequences will lead to investment decisions that do not maximize the returns on an after-tax basis. Economic developments or unforeseeable investor redemptions may also reduce returns without any corresponding increase in tax efficiency.
