About E*TRADE Financial and Important Notices
The Thematic Investing screener is an educational tool and should not be relied upon as the primary basis for investment, financial, tax-planning, or retirement decisions. This tool provides a sample of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that may be of interest to investors and is provided to customers as a resource to learn more about different categories of ETFs and the use of screeners. This educational information neither is, nor should be construed as, investment advice, financial guidance, or an offer or a solicitation or recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, or to engage in any specific investment strategy by E*TRADE. Additional ETFs available through E*TRADE Securities LLC (“ETS”) may be found by using the ETF screener at https://www.etrade.wallst.com/Research/Screener/ETF/.
An ETF's prospectus contains its investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses and other important information and should be read and considered carefully before investing. For a current prospectus, visit the Exchange-Traded Funds Center at www.etrade.com/etf.
ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios. Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indexes, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indexes because of expenses and other factors. Also, there are brokerage commissions associated with trading ETFs that may negate their low management fees. ETFs are required to distribute portfolio gains to shareholders at year end. These gains may be generated by portfolio rebalancing or the need to meet diversification requirements. ETF trading will also generate tax consequences.
