Harbor AlphaEdge™ Small Cap Value ETF (AESL)
Active small cap value, without losing sight of the allocation
- Pursue alpha through a systematic process. AESL seeks to evaluate small cap companies across fundamental and market-based characteristics to identify securities with attractive expected return potential.
- Adapt as market conditions change. An adaptive regime overlay incorporates factors such as growth, liquidity, inflation, and market sentiment to dynamically adjust portfolio exposures.
- Stay focused on small cap value. Defined risk parameters seek to maintain a small cap value orientation while managing unintended portfolio risk.

Important Information
Investing involves risk, principal loss is possible. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The ETF is new and has limited operating history to judge.
Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV). Market price returns are based upon the closing composite market price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. Stocks of small cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies. Undervalued securities may take long to appreciate or never reach full value, and value investing may underperform at times compared to other styles. The Fund utilizes a quantitative model and there are limitations in every quantitative model. There can be no assurances that the strategies pursued or the techniques implemented in the quantitative model will be profitable, and various market conditions may be materially less favorable to certain strategies than others.
The views expressed herein may not be reflective of current opinions, are subject to change without prior notice, and should not be considered investment advice.

30‑Day Median Bid/Ask Spread: calculated by identifying national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") for each fund as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days and dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the NBBO. The median of those values is identified and that value is expressed as a percentage (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
