Baillie Gifford International Alpha ETF

The most significant risks of an investment in the Baillie Gifford International Alpha ETF are Investment Style Risk, Growth Stock Risk, Long-Term Investment Strategy Risk and Non-U.S. Investment Risk. The Fund is managed on a bottom up basis and stock selection is likely to be the main driver of investment returns. Returns are unlikely to track the movements of the benchmark. The prices of growth stocks can be based largely on expectations of future earnings and can decline significantly in reaction to negative news. The Fund is managed on a long-term outlook, meaning that the Fund managers look for investments that they think will make returns over a number of years, rather than over shorter time periods. Non-U.S. securities are subject to additional risks, including less liquidity, increased volatility, less transparency, withholding or other taxes and increased vulnerability to adverse changes in local and global economic conditions. There can be less regulation and possible fluctuation in value due to adverse political conditions. Other Fund risks include: Asia Risk, China Risk, Conflicts of Interest Risk, Currency Risk, Developed Markets Risk, Emerging Markets Risk, Equity Securities Risk, ESG Risk, ETF Structure Risk, Focused Investment Risk, Frontier Markets Risk, Geographic Focus Risk, Government and Regulatory Risk, Information Technology Risk, IPO Risk, Large-Capitialization Securities Risk, Liquidity Risk, Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk, Market Risk, New and Smaller-Sized ETF Risk, Periodic Rebalancing Risk, Risk Model Risk, Service Provider Risk, Settlement Risk, Small-and Medium-Capitalization Securities Risk and Valuation Risk.

Investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) pose additional risks including that shares trade on an exchange and may trade at a price greater than the NAV (a premium) or less than the NAV (a discount). Shares bought at a premium may have a greater risk of loss than those bought at a discount. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemable.

Shares may only be redeemed directly from the Fund in Creation Units by Authorized Participants (APs). Where an ETF relies on a small number of APs, there is a risk if these APs exit the business or are unable to create or redeem shares. In this situation, Fund shares are more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and could face trading halts.

Although shares are listed for trading on an exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the shares will develop or be maintained. Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market may also incur bid-ask spreads, which represent the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares and may widen during periods of market volatility or reduced liquidity.

Brokerage commissions may apply and will reduce returns. The market price of shares may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of the Fund’s holdings, supply and demand for shares and other market factors.
