The Rayliant Quantamental ETF Series

Rayliant’s Quantamental ETFs express fundamental ideas through big data and quantitative models to actively trade stocks in markets around the world. Our strategies are intended for investors seeking to mitigate home country bias through active exposure to both international and emerging markets.

RAYE

Rayliant Quantamental Emerging Market ex-China Equity ETF

Emerging markets are big and getting bigger, but that rapid growth is not the only thing drawing investors to these economies. EM stocks provide investors a unique opportunity to capture alpha and reduce overall portfolio risk. These features strengthen the case for an active allocation to emerging markets.
Note: As of 10/24/2023, the fund's name and benchmark was changed.

RAYD

Rayliant Quantitative Developed Market Equity ETF

Despite the well-understood value of diversification, many investors still avoid international markets due to home country bias. RAYD aims to help these investors diversify their portfolio through broad global equity exposure, with lower risk and enhanced returns relative to a traditional passive approach.

RAYC

Rayliant Quantamental China Equity ETF

Rayliant’s Quantamental China Equity ETF RAYC is the world’s first active China ETF. It was crafted by the team who also designed China’s first Smart Beta strategy in 2009, and who built the investment strategy behind the Hong Kong-listed Premia CSI Caixin China New Economy ETF and the China-listed China AMC ChiNext Momentum Growth ETF.

RAYJ

Important Information

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, international investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Narrowly focused investments and investments focusing on a single country may be subject to higher volatility.

These Funds may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance) and could increase the amount of taxes you owe by generating short-term gains, which may be taxed at a higher rate.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Carefully consider the funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the funds’ summary or full prospectus, which may be obtained by calling +1 (626) 407-4581 or by visiting funds.rayliant.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
