Northern Trust 2046 Tax-Exempt Distributing Ladder ETF

The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by employing a laddered bond strategy. It invests in high-quality municipal bonds with different maturity dates, or rungs, through the year 2046. The fund is designed to provide investors tax-exempt monthly income and annual return of principal for the life of the fund. As bonds in a rung reach their final maturity, the fund generally will not reinvest the proceeds but will make a cash distribution to shareholders.
