Northern Trust 2056 Inflation-Linked Distributing Ladder ETF

Northern Trust 2056 Inflation-Linked Distributing Ladder ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide periodic inflation-linked distributions through investments in U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), consisting of income and/or principal through 2056. The fund employs a laddered bond strategy, investing in TIPS with staggered maturity dates through 2056 and generally allocating its assets in approximately equal proportions across the available maturity rungs. As securities mature, the fund generally distributes the proceeds to shareholders rather than reinvesting them in later maturities, providing periodic income and principal distributions over the fund’s investment horizon. Upon maturity of the final rung in 2056, the fund is expected to liquidate and distribute substantially all remaining assets.
