Overview
Overview
The NYLI International Small-Mid Cap Equity ETF (NISM) is an actively managed strategy that seeks long-term growth of capital from investments in foreign small- and mid-cap companies that the sub-advisor believes will provide an opportunity for achieving superior portfolio risk adjusted returns over the long term.
Attractive Opportunity Set
Our repeatable investment process focuses on uncovering high-quality companies with durable fundamentals and underappreciated earnings potential, identified through deep, proprietary fundamental research.
Proven Alpha-Driven Process
Foreign small- and mid-cap equities offer a vast, under-researched opportunity set with attractive valuations and a history of superior risk-adjusted returns driven primarily by stock-specific factors.
Portfolio Diversifier
As a diversifier to U.S. and foreign large-cap exposures, the strategy provides access to differentiated alpha sources and idiosyncratic return drivers that have the potential to enhance long-term portfolio outcomes.
Performance
Performance
Returns represent past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Expenses stated are as of the fund's most recent prospectus. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent actual Fund performance. One cannot invest directly in an index. Performance data for the Index assumes reinvestment of dividends and is net of the management fees for the Index's components, as applicable, but it does not reflect management fees, transaction costs or other expenses that you would pay if you invested in the Fund directly. No representation is being made that any investment will achieve performance similar to that shown.
Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Net asset value (NAV) returns are calculated using the daily NAV as of the close of regular trading on the Fund’s primary exchange (typically 4:00pm ET). Effective August 31, 2025, the price used to calculate market price (MP) returns is the Fund’s official closing price. The market price returns do not represent returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.
MSCI World Ex-USA SMID Cap Net Total Return Index is generally representative of the market sectors or types of investments in which the Fund invests.
Performance reflects a contractual fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement which shall remain in effect until terminated by the Board of Trustees of the ETF without which total returns may have been lower.

Distribution & Yields
Distribution & Yields
Subsidized Yield: the yield of a fund that includes any fee waivers or reimbursements currently in place by the fund’s manager. This figure shows the income generated by the fund after accounting for reduced expenses, giving a more favorable representation of returns under current conditions.
Unsubsidized Yield: the yield of a fund that excludes any fee waivers or reimbursements. It reflects the income the fund would generate if the full expenses were charged, offering a view of returns without any temporary fee reductions.
Distributions may be comprised of ordinary income, net capital gains, and/or a return of capital (ROC) of your investment in the fund. Because the distribution rate and the 12-month rate may include a ROC, they should not be confused with yield or income. Please refer to the most recent Section 19 Notice, if applicable, for additional information regarding the composition of distributions. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099 DIV sent to shareholders each January.
Distribution Rate: Distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution per share (dividing the number of calendar days during the year by the number of calendar days over which the most recent distribution accumulated) and dividing it by the NAV. The Fund intends to pay monthly distributions from net investment income.
12-month Rate: The 12-month rate measures the percentage return in the form of dividends. It is calculated monthly by taking the sum of the trailing 12-month dividend payments divided by the last month's ending share price (NAV or POP) plus any capital gains distributed over previous 12 months. If the Fund did not make any distributions over the previous 12 months, "N/A" will be displayed.
Tax Equivalent Yield assumes the maximum regular federal income tax rate (including Medicare tax in effect December 2015) (40.8%). The fund may hold a portion of taxable municipal bonds, which would lower the tax equivalent yield. Tax rates are subject to changes. Tax treatment of Fund distributions vary; investors should consult a tax advisor to determine if the Fund is appropriate for them.
The 30 Day SEC Yield is calculated by dividing the net investment income per share for the first 30 days of the month by the offering price per share at the end of that period. The yield reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period, after the deduction of the Fund's expenses. Yield reflects a fee waiver and/or expense limitation agreement without which the 30 Day SEC Yield would have been lower.
