We may allow you to purchase securities in dollar amounts rather than share quantities. We only accept market orders for fractional shares. Limit order for fractional shares are not allowed. Orders entered outside of regular trading hours cannot be executed. We round the amount of fractional shares you can purchase and own in your account down to the nearest four decimal places which may affect your ability to be credited for cash dividends, stock dividends and stock splits.

Fractional shares are not transferrable. You will not have voting rights for the fraction of a share owned. If you close your account or transfer your account to another firm, the fractional share will need to be liquidated, resulting in potential commission charges which may match the value of the fractional share if less than our minimum commission.

According to CVM's Legal Opinion No. 33, dated September 30, 2005, Passfolio contracted RB Capital Investimentos Distribuidora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários Ltda. ("RB Investimentos"), a Brazilian securities distributor duly authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil and the CVM, through which RB Investimentos makes Passfolio's services available to investors resident, domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil. The services provided by RB Investimentos should not be understood as an offering of securities directed to such investors. Although RB Investimentos has been hired to provide Passfolio's services, Passfolio offers its services exclusively in the United States and under the rules and regulations applicable in that country. As these services are investments made directly in the United States through Passfolio, they are not registered with or subject to the supervision of the CVM or any other Brazilian regulatory agency, so the investor must have knowledge of the language and local regulation. Investors resident, domiciled or incorporated in the Federative Republic of Brazil who have become or will become clients of Passfolio through RB Investimentos may contact the following e-mail addresses: suporte@passfolio.us / contato@rbinvestimentos.com

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of an Exchange Traded Fund ("ETF") carefully before investing. Before investing in any ETF, you should consider its investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. Contact us at support@passfolio.us for a prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses. ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Some specialized exchange-traded funds can be subject to additional market risks. Leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products are not designed for buy and hold investors or investors who do not intend to manage their investment on a daily basis. These products are for sophisticated investors who understand their risks (including the effect of daily compounding of leveraged investment results), and who intend to actively monitor and manage their investments on a daily basis.
‍
Be sure to consider your own financial situation, perform thorough research, and consult with a qualified tax professional before making any investment decisions concerning REITs. Investments in REITs and other real estate securities are subject to similar risks as direct investments in real estate. The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns.

Where an investment is denominated in a currency other than the investor’s currency, changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price of, or income derived from the investment.
