AI, Robotics & Technology Opportunity Portfolio, Series 30

Fueled by advances in computer and sensor technology, robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming an integral part of our daily lives as providers of labor, mobility, safety, convenience and entertainment. What was once largely limited to manufacturing plants, robots are now found in households, offices, hospitals, farms and highways.

Artificial Intelligence - is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision making and translation between languages.

Robotics - is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation and application of robots.

Consider The Following:

• The global industrial robotics market was valued at about $54 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach approximately $142.8 billion in 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 11.4% from 2023-2032.¹


• IDC predicts information technology (IT) spending to shift dramatically towards AI, impacting nearly every industry and application. By 2025, IDC anticipates the Global 2000² to allocate more than 40% of their core IT spending to AI-related initiatives. In addition, IDC expects worldwide spending on AI solutions to grow to more than $631 billion by 2028.

Risk Considerations

An investment in this unmanaged unit investment trust should be made with an understanding of the risks involved with owning common stocks, such as an economic recession and the possible deterioration of either the financial condition of the issuers of the equity securities or the general condition of the stock market.

You should be aware that the portfolio is concentrated in stocks in the information technology sector which involves additional risks, including limited diversification. The companies engaged in the information technology sector are subject to fierce competition, high research and development costs, and their products and services may be subject to rapid obsolescence. Technology company stocks, especially those which are Internet-related, may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated to their operating performance. There is no assurance that the projections stated herein will be realized.

Securities of non-U.S. issuers are subject to additional risks, including currency fluctuations, political risks, withholding, the lack of adequate financial information, and exchange control restrictions impacting non-U.S. issuers.

Large capitalization companies may grow at a slower rate than the overall market.

As the use of Internet technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the trust has become more susceptible to potential operational risks through breaches in cybersecurity.

Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities could have a significant impact on certain investments as well as performance.

The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic, or the potential impacts of any future public health crisis, may cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets. While vaccines have been developed, there is no guarantee that vaccines will be effective against future variants of the disease.

The value of the securities held by the trust may be subject to steep declines or increased volatility due to changes in performance or perception of the issuers.

This UIT is a buy and hold strategy and investors should consider their ability to hold the trust until maturity. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan.
