1 Because the index applies a volatility control mechanism, the range of both the positive and negative performance of the index is limited. The index is managed to create stabilized performance and avoid very high positive returns and very low negative returns.

2 The index features a performance control mechanism that limits its maximum growth potential within any given month. Consumers may therefore forego part of the growth of the index if it rises beyond this limit within a month.
