        <p><em>Annualized returns are for January&#160;1, 1988 through March 2, 2020. Comparable annualized returns for the S&#38;P 500 are +10.45% .</em></p>
<p><em>The Zacks #1 Rank Performance has been examined and attested by Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP for each of the years in the period beginning on January 1, 1988 through Monday<ZSQUOTE>s open on April 2, 2018. These returns are from hypothetical portfolios consisting of stocks with Zacks Rank # 1 that were rebalanced monthly (see additional details regarding rebalancing below) through 12/31/13 and weekly rebalance from 12/31/13 through Monday<ZSQUOTE>s open on April 2, 2018 with zero transaction costs. These are not the returns of actual portfolios of stocks. Zacks Rank #1 stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month or weekly based on each week<ZSQUOTE>s open and next week<ZSQUOTE>s open Zacks Rank #1 stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month or week. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank #1 stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly and weekly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank #1 stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month or week are included in the return calculations. Zack Rank #1 stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month or week. Certain Zacks Rank #1 stocks for which no month-end price or weekly open price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. The S&#38;P 500 is an unmanaged index.</em></p>
<p><em>The Zacks Rank Performance Summary returns examined herein are returns from a hypothetical portfolio consisting of Zacks Rank 1 stocks selected as described above, these returns are not based on a backtest. These returns are higher than the returns an investor would achieve investing real money in a portfolio of Zacks Rank 1 stocks because the returns of the hypothetical portfolio exclude commissions incurred for trading, the average bid ask spread, the price impact of the trading and, prior to 2013, in those months when the end of the month fell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, the overnight return from the month end close to the open on the next trading day.</em></p>
<p><em>The universe of companies for which Zacks Rank performance is reported has changed over time. The portfolios of Zacks #1 Ranked stocks created monthly from 1988 through 1995 exclude ADRs, exclude Canadian companies trading only on Canadian Exchanges, exclude companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and exclude companies followed by only one analyst. From 1996 through 2007 the portfolios exclude ADRs, exclude Canadian companies trading only on Canadian exchanges and exclude companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, but include companies followed by only one analyst. From 2008 and going forward the portfolios are comprised of all stocks with the indicated Zacks Rank which is more reflective of the list of stocks that customers will find on the Zacks web sites.</em></p>
<p>The annual S&#38;P 500 returns in this table for the years 2016, 17, 18 differ by +2.8%, -.4% and +.6% from the S&#38;P 500 returns shown on other web sites. The S&#38;P 500 returns shown for these periods are total returns of the IVV S&#38;P 500 Index Fund and the returns are shown for 364 day periods that begin at the first Monday open of each year for years 2016, 17 and 18. Similarly the S&#38;P 500 returns for the months are IVV returns for the 28 or 35 day periods that begin at the open on the first Monday of each month.</p>
