This allocation determination is based on monthly observations of a pre‐ defined Tactical Trigger: the 100 daily moving average (100 DMA) of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (Bloomberg: EEM US Equity; the ETF). The Index obtains exposure to Emerging Markets equities by tracking the performance of the futures contract.  On the specified monthly determination date, if the ETF is at or above its 100 DMA (a bullish trend), the Index will allocate to equity via the MSCI Emerging Markets futures contract plus the Federal Funds rate (to replicate the total return) or only to the Federal Funds rate if the ETF is below its relevant 100 DMA (a bearish trend).  Index Objectives:  The RBC Emerging Market Tactical Equity Total Return Index is designed to meet or exceed risk‐ adjusted returns relative to the benchmark by optimizing asset allocation between Emerging Markets equities and cash. This dynamic asset allocation is implemented by observing bullish or bearish trends in Emerging Markets equities, on a monthly basis, to determine the exposure until the next monthly observation.  Index Ticker Symbols: Bloomberg: RBCEETUT Index Thomson Reuters: .RBCEETUT  Index Launch Date:  February 18, 2019  Index Base Date:  October 31, 2007  Asset Class:  Equity  Fixed Income (Cash)  Allocations:  MSCI Emerging Markets Futures contract Federal Funds Rate  Last Allocation Date:  July 13, 2022  Benchmark:  MSCI EM Net Total Return USD Index Bloomberg: M1EF Index  Thomson Reuters: .MIEF00000NUS  Liquidity:  The Index tracks equity futures and cash.

Accordingly, all of the information about the performance of the Index prior to that date is based on hypothetical back‐tested information.  The hypothetical performance of the Index is based on criteria that have been applied retroactively with the benefit of hindsight; these criteria cannot account for all financial risk that may affect the actual performance of the Index in the future. The future performance of the Index may vary significantly from the hypothetical performance data in this document. For example, the futures contracts and ETF upon which the Index is based did not exist during all the periods shown; accordingly, we have used other related financial assets for those periods, when needed. In addition, please note that the back‐tested performance of the Index set forth in this document does not reflect the deduction of any fees and charges that would be applicable to a financial instrument that references the Index.  For the full Index methodology, please visit the following link: www.solactive.com  Page 3 of 4
