Principal at Risk Securities

The securities do not guarantee the repayment of principal, do not provide for the regular payment of interest and have the terms described in the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus, as supplemented or modified by this document. Beginning after approximately one year, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the index closing value of each underlying index on any of the quarterly determination dates (other than the final determination date) is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities and that will correspond to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, investors will receive a fixed positive return that will also correspond to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum, as set forth below. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of either underlying index is less than its respective initial index value but the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level, you will receive at maturity the stated principal amount of your securities. However, if the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity and the final index value of either underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst-performing underlying index on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment. Because payments on the securities are based on the worst performing of the underlying indices, a decline beyond the respective initial index value on any quarterly determination date and/or beyond the respective downside threshold level on the final determination date, as applicable, of either underlying index will result in the forfeiture of any early redemption payment and/or a significant loss of your investment, as applicable, even if the other underlying index has appreciated or has not declined as much. The securities are for investors who are willing to risk their principal and forego current income and participation in the appreciation of either underlying index in exchange for the possibility of receiving an early redemption payment or payment at maturity greater than the stated principal amount if each underlying index closes at or above its respective initial index value on a quarterly determination date or the final determination date, respectively. The securities are our senior debt securities. Any payments on the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”). The securities are issued as part of BofA Finance LLC’s (“BofA Finance”) “Medium-Term Notes, Series A” program.

All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer of the securities, and BAC, as guarantor of the securities. If we default on our obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets.

Investment Summary

Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature

Principal at Risk Securities

Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature Based on the Worst Performing of the S&P 500^® Index and the Russell 2000^® Index due March 5, 2030 (the “securities”) do not provide for the regular payment of interest and do not guarantee the repayment of principal. Instead, beginning after approximately one year, the securities will be automatically redeemed if the index closing value of each underlying index on any quarterly determination date prior to the final determination date is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, for an early redemption payment that will increase over the term of the securities and that will correspond to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum, as described below. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, investors will receive a fixed positive return that will also correspond to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum, as set forth below. If the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of either underlying index is less than its respective initial index value but the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level, you will receive at maturity the stated principal amount of your securities. However, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of either underlying index is less than its respective downside threshold level, investors will be exposed to the decline in the worst-performing underlying index on a 1-to-1 basis and will receive a payment at maturity that is less than 80% of the stated principal amount of the securities and could be zero. Accordingly, investors in the securities must be willing to accept the risk of losing their entire initial investment. Investors will not participate in any appreciation in either underlying index.

Any payments on the securities depend on the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer, and BAC, as guarantor, and on the performance of the underlying indices. The economic terms of the securities are based on BAC’s internal funding rate, which is the rate it would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of market-linked notes, and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements BAC’s affiliates enter into. BAC’s internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate it would pay when it issues conventional fixed or floating rate debt securities. This difference in funding rate, as well as the agent’s commissions and fees, if any, and the hedging related charges described below (see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9), reduced the economic terms of the securities to you and the initial estimated value of the securities. Due to these factors, the public offering price you are paying to purchase the securities is greater than the initial estimated value of the securities as of the pricing date.

The initial estimated value of the securities as of the pricing date is set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the securities, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 and “Structuring the securities” on page 22.

The securities are our senior debt securities. Any payments on the securities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by BAC. The securities and the related guarantee are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or secured by collateral. The securities will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law. The related guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of BAC’s other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, except obligations that are subject to any priorities or preferences by law, and senior to its subordinated obligations. Any payments due on the securities, including any repayment of the principal amount, will be subject to the credit risk of BofA Finance, as issuer, and BAC, as guarantor.

Key Investment Rationale

The securities do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, beginning after one year, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment (corresponding to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum) if the index closing value of each underlying index on any quarterly determination date prior to the final determination date is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value. At maturity, if the securities have not previously been redeemed and the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, investors will receive a fixed positive return that will also correspond to a return of approximately 8.55% per annum.

The following scenarios are for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate how an automatic early redemption payment or the payment at maturity (if the securities have not previously been redeemed) are calculated, and do not attempt to demonstrate every situation that may occur. Accordingly, the securities may or may not be redeemed prior to maturity and the payment at maturity may be significantly less than the stated principal amount of the securities and may be zero.

Hypothetical Examples

The following table illustrates how the amount payable per security will be calculated if the index closing value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value on one of the determination dates prior to the final determination date. Figures below have been rounded for ease of analysis. All payments on the securities are subject to issuer and guarantor credit risk.

Investors in the securities will not receive any dividends on the stocks that constitute the underlying indices. The examples below do not show any effect of lost dividend yield over the term of the securities.

Even if, on any determination date prior to the final determination date, the index closing value of one underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective initial index value, if the index closing value of the other underlying index is less than its respective initial index value, you will not receive the premium indicated above following that determination date. In order to receive the premium indicated above, the index closing value of each underlying index must be greater than or equal to its respective initial index value on the applicable determination date.

Early Redemption

The examples below illustrate how the amount payable per security on the applicable early redemption date, if any, will be determined based upon the index closing values of each underlying index on the determination dates prior to the final determination date. The examples are based on the hypothetical values indicated in the following paragraph and do not reflect the actual initial index values of either of the underlying indices. The actual initial index values are set forth under “Summary Terms” above. We have used these hypothetical values, rather than actual values, to simplify calculations and aid understanding of how the securities work. However, you should understand that the actual payments on the securities will be calculated based on the actual initial index value of each underlying index, and not the hypothetical values indicated below. For ease of analysis, figures below may have been rounded.

The examples are based on, for each underlying index, a hypothetical initial index value of 100.00 and the hypothetical index closing values indicated below. Whether the securities are redeemed prior to maturity and your actual early redemption payment, if any, will depend on the actual index closing values of each underlying index on the determination dates.

Example 1—The securities are not redeemed following the first determination date. On the first determination date, the hypothetical index closing value of the S&P 500^® Index is 120.00 (a 20% increase from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical index closing value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 80.00 (a 20% decrease from its hypothetical initial index value).

In this scenario, even though the index closing value of the S&P 500^® Index on the first determination date is at or above its respective initial index value, the index closing value of the Russell 2000^® Index is below its respective initial index value. Therefore, the securities are not redeemed.

Example 2—The securities are redeemed following the second determination date. On the first determination date, the hypothetical index closing value of the S&P 500^® Index is 120.00 (a 20% increase from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical index closing value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 80.00 (a 20% decrease from its hypothetical initial index value). Therefore, the securities are not redeemed following the first determination date.

On the second determination date, the hypothetical index closing value of the S&P 500^® Index is 110.00 (a 10% increase from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical index closing value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 120.00 (a 20% increase from its hypothetical initial index value).

In this scenario, on the second determination date the hypothetical index closing value of each underlying index is at or above its respective initial index value. Therefore, the securities are automatically redeemed on the second early redemption date. Investors will receive a payment of $1,106.875 per security on the related early redemption date. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed, and investors do not participate in the appreciation in either underlying index.

Payment at Maturity

The examples below illustrate how the payment at maturity will be calculated if the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity. The examples are based on the hypothetical values indicated in the following paragraph and do not reflect the actual initial index values of either of the underlying indices or their applicable downside threshold levels. The actual initial index values and downside threshold levels are set forth under “Summary Terms” above. We have used these hypothetical values, rather than actual values, to simplify calculations and aid understanding of how the securities work. However, you should understand that the actual payment at maturity on the securities will be calculated based on the actual initial index value and downside threshold level of each underlying index, and not the hypothetical values indicated below. For ease of analysis, figures below may have been rounded.

The examples are based on, for each underlying index, a hypothetical initial index value of 100.00 and a hypothetical downside threshold level of 80.00 and the hypothetical final index values indicated below. If the securities are not automatically redeemed prior to maturity, your actual payment at maturity will depend on the actual final index value of the worst performing underlying index on the final determination date.

Example 1—Upside Scenario. The hypothetical final index value of the S&P 500^® Index is 120.00 (a 20% increase from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical final index value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 110.00 (a 10% increase from its hypothetical initial index value).

In this scenario, because the final index value of each underlying index on the final determination date is greater than its respective initial index value, the payment at maturity per security would be calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 + the premium applicable to the final determination date
= $1,000 + $513.00
= $1,513.00

In this scenario, because the final index value of each underlying index on the final determination date is greater than its respective initial index value, you would be repaid the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security at maturity plus the premium applicable to the final determination date.

Example 2—Par Scenario. The hypothetical final index value of the S&P 500^® Index is 93.00 (a 7% decrease from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical final index value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 95.00 (a 5% decrease from its hypothetical initial index value).

In this scenario, because the final index value of at least one underlying index is less than its respective initial index value but the final index value of each underlying index is greater than or equal to its respective downside threshold level, you would be repaid the stated principal amount of $1,000 per security at maturity but would not receive any premium.

Example 3—Downside Scenario. The hypothetical final index value of the S&P 500^® Index is 105.00 (a 5% increase from its hypothetical initial index value) and the hypothetical final index value of the Russell 2000^® Index is 40.00 (a 60% decrease from its hypothetical initial index value). Because the index performance factor of the Russell 2000^® Index on the final determination date is lower than the index performance factor of

the S&P 500^® Index on the final determination date in this example, the Russell 2000^® Index would be the worst performing underlying index on the final determination date.

In this scenario, because the final index value of at least one underlying index on the final determination date is less than its downside threshold level, the payment at maturity per security would be calculated as follows:

Payment at maturity per security = $1,000 + ($1,000 × the index performance factor of the worst performing underlying index on the final determination date)
= $1,000 + ($1,000 × -60%)
= $1,000 + -$600.00
= $400.00

In this scenario, the worst performing underlying index on the final determination date has depreciated by more than 20% from its initial index value to its final index value, which is less than its downside threshold level. Accordingly, your payment at maturity in this scenario would reflect 1-to-1 downside exposure to the depreciation of the worst performing underlying index from its initial index value to its final index value, and you would incur a significant loss on your investment.

Risk Factors

Your investment in the securities entails significant risks, many of which differ from those of a conventional debt security. Your decision to purchase the securities should be made only after carefully considering the risks of an investment in the securities, including those discussed below, with your advisors in light of your particular circumstances. The securities are not an appropriate investment for you if you are not knowledgeable about significant elements of the securities or financial matters in general. You should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the securities in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement, page S-6 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and page 7 of the accompanying prospectus, each as identified on the cover page of this pricing supplement.

Additional Information About the Securities

Annex A—The S&P 500^® Index

The S&P 500^® Index

The SPX includes a representative sample of 500 companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The SPX is intended to provide an indication of the pattern of common stock price movement. The calculation of the level of the SPX is based on the relative value of the aggregate market value of the common stocks of 500 companies as of a particular time compared to the aggregate average market value of the common stocks of 500 similar companies during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943.

The SPX includes companies from eleven main groups: Communication Services; Consumer Discretionary; Consumer Staples; Energy; Financials; Health Care; Industrials; Information Technology; Real Estate; Materials; and Utilities. S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“SPDJI”), the sponsor of the SPX, may from time to time, in its sole discretion, add companies to, or delete companies from, the SPX to achieve the objectives stated above.

Company additions to the SPX must have an unadjusted company market capitalization of $15.8 billion or more (an increase from the previous requirement of an unadjusted company market capitalization of $14.5 billion or more).

SPDJI calculates the SPX by reference to the prices of the constituent stocks of the SPX without taking account of the value of dividends paid on those stocks. As a result, the return on the securities will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the SPX constituent stocks and received the dividends paid on those stocks.

Computation of the SPX

While SPDJI currently employs the following methodology to calculate the SPX, no assurance can be given that SPDJI will not modify or change this methodology in a manner that may affect payments on the securities.

Historically, the market value of any component stock of the SPX was calculated as the product of the market price per share and the number of then outstanding shares of such component stock. In March 2005, SPDJI began shifting the SPX halfway from a market capitalization weighted formula to a float-adjusted formula, before moving the SPX to full float adjustment on September 16, 2005. SPDJI’s criteria for selecting stocks for the SPX did not change with the shift to float adjustment. However, the adjustment affects each company’s weight in the SPX.

Under float adjustment, the share counts used in calculating the SPX reflect only those shares that are available to investors, not all of a company’s outstanding shares. Float adjustment excludes shares that are closely held by control groups, other publicly traded companies or government agencies.

In September 2012, all shareholdings representing more than 5% of a stock’s outstanding shares, other than holdings by “block owners,” were removed from the float for purposes of calculating the SPX. Generally, these “control holders” will include officers and directors, private equity, venture capital and special equity firms, other publicly traded companies that hold shares for control, strategic partners, holders of restricted shares, ESOPs, employee and family trusts, foundations associated with the company, holders of unlisted share classes of stock, government entities at all levels (other than government retirement/pension funds) and any individual person who controls a 5% or greater stake in a company as reported in regulatory filings. However, holdings by block owners, such as depositary banks, pension funds, mutual funds and ETF providers, 401(k) plans of the company, government retirement/pension funds, investment funds of insurance companies, asset managers and investment funds, independent foundations and savings and investment plans, will ordinarily be considered part of the float.

Treasury stock, stock options, restricted shares, equity participation units, warrants, preferred stock, convertible stock, and rights are not part of the float. Shares held in a trust to allow investors in countries outside the country of domicile, such as depositary shares and Canadian exchangeable shares, are normally part of the float unless those shares form a control block. If a company has multiple classes of stock outstanding, shares in an unlisted or non-traded class are treated as a control block.

For each stock, an investable weight factor (“IWF”) is calculated by dividing the available float shares by the total shares outstanding. Available float shares are defined as the total shares outstanding less shares held by control holders. This calculation is subject to a 5% minimum threshold for control blocks. For example, if a company’s officers and directors hold 3% of the company’s shares, and no other control group holds 5% of the company’s shares, SPDJI would assign that company an IWF of 1.00, as no control group meets the 5% threshold. However, if a company’s officers and directors hold 3% of the company’s shares and another control group holds 20% of the company’s shares, SPDJI would assign an IWF of 0.77, reflecting the fact that 23% of the company’s outstanding shares are considered to be held for control. As of July 31, 2017, companies with multiple share class lines are no longer eligible for inclusion in the SPX. Constituents of the SPX prior to July 31, 2017 with multiple share class lines will be grandfathered in and continue to be included in the SPX. If a constituent company of the SPX reorganizes into a multiple share class line structure, that company will remain in the SPX at the discretion of the S&P Index Committee in order to minimize turnover.

The SPX is calculated using a base-weighted aggregate methodology. The level of the SPX reflects the total market value of all component stocks relative to the base period of the years 1941 through 1943. An indexed number is used to represent the results of this calculation in order to make the level easier to work with and track over time. The actual total market value of the component stocks during the base period of the years 1941 through 1943 has been set to an indexed level of 10. This is often indicated by the notation 1941- 43 = 10. In practice, the daily calculation of the SPX is computed by dividing the total market value of the component stocks by the “index divisor.” By itself, the index divisor is an arbitrary number. However, in the context of the calculation of the SPX, it serves as a link to the original base period level of the SPX. The index divisor keeps the SPX comparable over time and is the manipulation point for all adjustments to the SPX, which is index maintenance.

Index Maintenance

Index maintenance includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructuring or spinoffs. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the companies in the SPX, and do not require index divisor adjustments.

To prevent the level of the SPX from changing due to corporate actions, corporate actions which affect the total market value of the SPX require an index divisor adjustment. By adjusting the index divisor for the change in market value, the level of the SPX remains constant and does not reflect the corporate actions of individual companies in the SPX. Index divisor adjustments are made after the close of trading and after the calculation of the SPX closing value.

Changes in a company’s shares outstanding of 5.00% or more due to mergers, acquisitions, public offerings, tender offers, Dutch auctions, or exchange offers are made as soon as reasonably possible. Share changes due to mergers or acquisitions of publicly held companies that trade on a major exchange are implemented when the transaction occurs, even if both of the companies are not in the same headline index, and regardless of the size of the change. All other changes of 5.00% or more (due to, for example, company stock repurchases, private placements, redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity participation units, at-the-market offerings, or other recapitalizations) are made weekly and are announced on Fridays for implementation after the close of trading on the following Friday. Changes of less than 5.00% are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, and are usually announced two to five days prior.

If a change in a company’s shares outstanding of 5.00% or more causes a company’s IWF to change by five percentage points or more, the IWF is updated at the same time as the share change. IWF changes resulting from partial tender offers are considered on a case by case basis.

Annex B—The Russell 2000^® Index

The RTY was developed by Russell Investments (“Russell”) before FTSE International Limited and Russell combined in 2015 to create FTSE Russell, which is wholly owned by London Stock Exchange Group. Additional information on the RTY is available at the following website: http://www.ftserussell.com. No information on that website is deemed to be included or incorporated by reference in this pricing supplement.

Russell began dissemination of the RTY on January 1, 1984. FTSE Russell calculates and publishes the RTY. The RTY was set to 135 as of the close of business on December 31, 1986. The RTY is designed to track the performance of the small capitalization segment of the U.S. equity market. As a subset of the Russell 3000® Index, the RTY consists of the smallest 2,000 companies included in the Russell 3000® Index. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies, representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The RTY is determined, comprised, and calculated by FTSE Russell without regard to the securities.

Selection of Stocks Comprising the RTY

Each company eligible for inclusion in the RTY must be classified as a U.S. company under FTSE Russell’s country-assignment methodology. If a company is incorporated, has a stated headquarters location, and trades in the same country (American Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Shares are not eligible), then the company is assigned to its country of incorporation. If any of the three factors are not the same, FTSE Russell defines three Home Country Indicators (“HCIs”): country of incorporation, country of headquarters, and country of the most liquid exchange (as defined by a two-year average daily dollar trading volume) from all exchanges within a country. Using the HCIs, FTSE Russell compares the primary location of the company’s assets with the three HCIs. If the primary location of its assets matches any of the HCIs, then the company is assigned to the primary location of its assets. If there is insufficient information to determine the country in which the company’s assets are primarily located, FTSE Russell will use the country from which the company’s revenues are primarily derived for the comparison with the three HCIs in a similar manner. FTSE Russell uses the average of two years of assets or revenues data to reduce potential turnover. If conclusive country details cannot be derived from assets or revenues data, FTSE Russell will assign the company to the country of its headquarters, which is defined as the address of the company’s principal executive offices, unless that country is a Benefit Driven Incorporation (“BDI”) country, in which case the company will be assigned to the country of its most liquid stock exchange. BDI countries include: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Channel Islands, Cook Islands, Curacao, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Liberia, Marshall Islands, Panama, Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, and Turks and Caicos Islands. For any companies incorporated or headquartered in a U.S. territory, including Puerto Rico, Guam, and U.S. Virgin Islands, a U.S. HCI is assigned.

All securities eligible for inclusion in the RTY must trade on a major U.S. exchange. Stocks must have a closing price at or above $1.00 on their primary exchange on the last trading day in May to be eligible for inclusion during annual reconstitution. However, in order to reduce unnecessary turnover, if an existing member’s closing price is less than $1.00 on the last day of May, it will be considered eligible if the average of the daily closing prices (from its primary exchange) during the month of May is equal to or greater than $1.00. Initial public offerings are added each quarter and must have a closing price at or above $1.00 on the last day of their eligibility period in order to qualify for index inclusion. If an existing stock does not trade on the “rank day” (typically the last trading day in May but a confirmed timetable is announced each spring) but does have a closing price at or above $1.00 on another eligible U.S. exchange, that stock will be eligible for inclusion.

An important criterion used to determine the list of securities eligible for the RTY is total market capitalization, which is defined as the market price as of the last trading day in May for those securities being considered at annual reconstitution times the total number of shares outstanding. Where applicable, common stock, non-restricted exchangeable shares and partnership units/membership interests are used to determine market capitalization. Any other form of shares such as preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, redeemable shares, participating preferred stock, warrants and rights, installment receipts or trust receipts, are excluded from the calculation. If multiple share classes of common stock exist, they are combined. In cases where the common stock share classes act independently of each other (e.g., tracking stocks), each class is considered for inclusion separately. If multiple share classes exist, the pricing vehicle will be designated as the share class with the highest two-year trading volume as of the rank day in May.

Companies with a total market capitalization of less than $30 million are not eligible for the RTY. Similarly, companies with only 5% or less of their shares available in the marketplace are not eligible for the RTY. Royalty trusts, limited liability companies, closed-end investment companies (companies that are required to report Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, as defined by the SEC, including business development companies), blank check companies, special purpose acquisition companies, and limited partnerships are also ineligible for inclusion. Bulletin board, pink sheets, and over-the-counter traded securities are not eligible for inclusion. Exchange traded funds and mutual funds are also excluded.

Annual reconstitution is a process by which the RTY is completely rebuilt. Based on closing levels of the company’s common stock on its primary exchange on the rank day of May of each year, FTSE Russell reconstitutes the composition of the RTY using the then existing market capitalizations of eligible companies. Reconstitution of the RTY occurs on the last Friday in June or, when the last Friday in June is the 29th or 30th, reconstitution occurs on the prior Friday. In addition, FTSE Russell adds initial public offerings to the RTY on a quarterly basis based on total market capitalization ranking within the market-adjusted capitalization breaks established during the most recent reconstitution. After membership is determined, a security’s shares are adjusted to include only those shares available to the public. This is often referred to as “free float.” The purpose of the adjustment is to exclude from market calculations the capitalization that is not available for purchase and is not part of the investable opportunity set.
