INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The U.S. Infrastructure Development Portfolio ("Trust") seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies involved in the development or maintenance of private and public infrastructure systems.
|
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Sponsor performs a qualitative analysis to select a trust portfolio that consists of 40 domestic stocks that are diversified across various sectors that the Sponsor believes comprise the infrastructure market. Companies within the infrastructure market may provide products or services related to: transportation systems, civil and public projects, industrial systems, technological systems and other social institutions that facilitate economic expansion. These companies generally fall in the industrial sector but may include companies in other sectors such as the materials, telecommunications, utilities and information technology sectors.
|

|
|
SELECTION CRITERIA
The Sponsor selects domestic companies that it believes are core holdings of a well-diversified infrastructure portfolio. To select the portfolio, the Sponsor begins by identifying a universe of approximately 100 companies that it believes may have significant exposure to private and public infrastructure expenditures. The initial universe is defined through research of companies identified in various research reports, websites, company filings and financial databases as they relate to the infrastructure market. The Sponsor then identifies approximately 40 companies that are diversified across the sectors that the Sponsor believes comprise the infrastructure market for inclusion in the portfolio through a qualitative analysis, which may be primarily based on, but not limited to, the following factors:
- Revenue Concentration: The Sponsor favors companies that derive a significant portion of their revenues or profits from infrastructure-related businesses.
- Investable Characteristics: The Sponsor screens companies for characteristics including trading volume, share price, market capitalization and trading exchange in order to eliminate those companies that are not viable candidates for inclusion in the portfolio.
Under certain circumstances the Sponsor may limit the number of securities in the final portfolio based upon certain fundamental factors including but not limited to the following:
- Industry Leadership: The Sponsor favors companies that possess a strong competitive position among their domestic and global peers.
- Growth: The Sponsor favors companies with a history of (and prospects for) better than average growth of sales and earnings (where applicable).

RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
This Trust is not being offered for sale. This data is for informational purposes only.
As with all investments, you may lose some or all of your investment in the Trust. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:
- Stock prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the Trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the Trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
- Due to the current state of the economy, the value of the securities held by the Trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers. In the last year, economic activity has declined across all sectors of the economy, and the United States is experiencing increased unemployment. The current economic crisis has affected the global economy with European and Asian markets also suffering historic losses. Extraordinary steps have been taken by the governments of several leading economic countries to combat the economic crisis; however, the impact of these measures is not yet known and cannot be predicted.
- The Sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.
- Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of stocks will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
- The Trust invests in stocks issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These stocks customarily involve more investment risk than stocks of large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.
- The Trust includes securities of companies with business in the infrastructure market. Infrastructure companies, including utilities, energy and companies involved in infrastructure projects, may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations.
- The Trust includes securities from the industrials sector. Companies in the industrial sector are affected by a number of factors including the general state of the economy, intense competition, domestic and international politics, excess capacity and spending trends.
- Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.
Please see the Trust prospectus for more complete risk information.
