Key Features of this ETF ■ Primarily invests in stocks included in the Nasdaq-100 Index and sells call options that provide investment exposure to the same index. The Nasdaq-100 Index is designed to measure the performance of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq by market capitalization. A call option is the right to buy a specific asset at a predetermined price within a specified period. For details on option writing, please refer to the ETF's special website. ■ Aims to achieve stable monthly distributions, primarily sourced from stock dividends and option premiums. ■ This is a US dollar-denominated ETF. By selling call options, the ETF receives option premiums in exchange for limiting the opportunity for returns from rising stock markets. In a rising market, the ETF's performance may significantly underperform the overall market. Additionally, the option premiums received by the ETF may not necessarily provide sufficient downside protection during market declines. The GS Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF is listed on a foreign stock exchange. It is an ETF established and managed by an overseas group company of Goldman Sachs Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the Company), and is not established or managed by the Company itself. Investors wishing to purchase should contact a Japanese financial instruments business handling the product and carefully review the listed securities documents or other disclosure materials before making their own investment decisions. Depending on market conditions, fund flows, and other factors, the ETF may not be able to operate according to its investment policy. Pursuit of Stable Monthly Distributions Since its inception, GPIQ has provided relatively stable monthly distributions.

Website Fees and Investment Risks When buying or selling ETFs, you may be required to pay fees or other charges determined by the handling financial instruments business operator. Please contact the handling financial instruments business operator for details. Additionally, during the holding period, you will indirectly bear management fees and other costs. These costs vary depending on the specific ETF and fluctuate based on operating conditions and holding period, so the maximum amount cannot be stated. ETFs primarily invest in assets with fluctuating prices, such as stocks and bonds, so their net asset value will fluctuate. Investing in securities involves various risks, including price fluctuation risk, country risk, credit risk, and foreign exchange risk, and ETFs carry similar risks. Due to these risk factors, the market price of investment assets may fall. Therefore, there is a risk of losing principal. ETFs carry delisting risk; if operations become difficult due to a decline in net assets or if they no longer meet the listing standards of the exchange, they may be delisted. These are the main risks, and the risks associated with investing in ETFs are not limited to these. Beneficial interests in ETFs cannot be redeemed individually; they are issued and redeemed at net asset value (NAV) only in large, specified quantities called creation units, or traded on stock exchanges at market prices (not NAV). Trading on the market may occur at a premium or discount to NAV. ETFs traded on stock exchanges carry liquidity risk associated with market trading of the ETF itself, in addition to the price fluctuation risk of the underlying assets. Executing large buy or sell orders when trading volume in the market is low may result in execution at prices deviating from the theoretical price.
