The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund utilizes an absolute return approach that is designed to provide exposure to a wide range of equity securities, fixed income securities, commodities and currencies of domestic and foreign issuers, with no prescribed asset allocation targets under normal circumstances. As such, exposures across asset classes may vary widely, and the Fund’s assets may exhibit an equity, fixed income, commodity or currency bias at any given time. The Fund operates in a manner that is commonly referred to as a “fund of funds” and obtains investment exposure to the asset classes described below primarily by investing in other ETFs. The Fund generally expects to hold approximately six to twenty underlying ETFs.

The Fund’s equity investments may include common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into other equity securities, and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The Fund may invest in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies of various market capitalizations, including in emerging and developed markets.

The Fund’s fixed income securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies or instrumentalities, municipal securities, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities (including collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations), inflation-linked securities (e.g., Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”)), convertible securities, and bank loans.

The Fund’s fixed income holdings are diversified across a wide range of short- to long-term income-producing securities issued by U.S. and international developed and emerging markets issuers. With respect to credit quality, the Fund may invest in both investment-grade and high-yield (also known as “junk bonds”) fixed income instruments. Fixed income securities are considered investment grade if they are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (“NRSRO”), such as S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase.

The Fund’s commodity exposure may include various commodities, including metals, energy, oil or agricultural products. The Fund will gain exposure to these commodities principally through investments in futures contracts and swaps. The Fund’s currency exposure may include various non-U.S. currencies and the Fund will gain exposure to these currencies primarily through foreign currency futures contracts and swaps.

The Adviser makes investment decisions by seeking to identity and assemble a portfolio of ETFs that will achieve its desired asset allocation mix while also optimizing for positive risk-adjusted returns (i.e., alpha) relative to the general equity, fixed income, commodities and currency markets. To accomplish this, the Adviser’s investment team determines the Fund’s asset allocation mix and conducts ongoing research into the ever-growing universe of ETFs and their investment managers, populating a list of ETFs from which the Fund’s portfolio is constructed. The asset allocation mix for the Fund is determined through the use of a mean variance optimization process, which seeks to identify a combination of asset classes that is expected to maximize return for a given level of risk, by focusing primarily on expected returns, standard deviations (i.e., volatility as a measure of risk) and correlations of the different asset classes.

The Adviser’s analysis and due diligence process for selecting prospective ETFs includes the following:

factor benchmarks include indices that track multiple asset classes.

In conducting the qualitative and manager edge analysis described above, the Adviser relies on, among other publicly available sources of information, due diligence materials provided by managers as well as interviews conducted with such managers to discuss investment philosophy, processes, personnel and performance.

Following this process, the Adviser will select ETFs on the basis of their ability to provide low-cost asset class exposure, as compared to other actively managed ETFs, and/or the ability to add value on either an absolute or risk-adjusted basis, while also taking into account the following factors to form its views on which ETFs to select for the Fund’s portfolio: market conditions, valuation metrics, risk profiles,

and expected growth potential. The Adviser will sell ETFs for a variety of reasons, including the need to alter asset allocation exposures, to add ETFs that the Adviser believes are better positioned to add value as compared to existing holdings, and to remove ETFs that no longer meet the investment criteria for the Fund.

The Adviser has engaged Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC to serve as trading sub-adviser (“Sub-Adviser”) for the Fund. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for trading portfolio securities for the Fund, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sale transactions or in connection with any rebalancing or reconstitution of the portfolio, pre- and post-trade compliance, and monitoring of Fund trading activity, subject to the oversight of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded Fund (“ETF”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in investment-grade fixed income securities. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund operates in a manner that is commonly referred to as a “fund of funds” and obtains investment exposure to the asset classes described below primarily by investing in other ETFs. The Fund generally expects to hold approximately six to twelve underlying ETFs.

For purposes of the Fund’s 80% investment policy, fixed income securities include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and inflation-linked securities (e.g., Treasury inflation-protected securities (“TIPS”)). The Adviser considers fixed income securities to be investment grade if they are rated in one of the four highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization (“NRSRO”), such as S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase.

The Fund is managed to achieve broad exposure to the U.S. investment-grade fixed income securities market. The Fund does not target a specific weighted average maturity for its investments, either individually or in

the aggregate. As a result, the Fund’s interest rate sensitivity may vary significantly over time.

and whether the manager has a reasonable edge in exploiting them. Examples of market inefficiencies may include behavioral biases such as anchoring bias (relying too heavily on an initial piece of information when making decisions), confirmation bias (seeking out or giving more weight to information that supports original estimates) and overconfidence (displaying a hesitance to acknowledge potential errors in an initial analysis). In practice, these biases can lead to delayed or gradual revisions of earnings forecasts, even when significant changes in a company’s fundamentals or external environment may warrant more immediate adjustments. The Adviser believes that a manager who understands these dynamics and puts in place processes to combat these biases may be in a better position to adjust their portfolio to incorporate new information, compared to managers who under-react to new information due to these biases.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded Fund (“ETF”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. This investment policy may be changed by the Fund upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund operates in a manner that is commonly referred to as a “fund of funds” and obtains investment exposure to the asset classes described below primarily by investing in other ETFs. The Fund generally expects to hold approximately six to twelve underlying ETFs. The Fund defines small-capitalization companies to include issuers with a market capitalization at the time of purchase within the capitalization range of companies in the Morningstar Developed Markets Small Cap Index. Given the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund’s assets may exhibit either growth or value bias at any given time.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in at least three countries, including the U.S., and invests at least 40% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. companies, which may include emerging market countries. The Fund considers a company to be a non-U.S. company if: (i) at least 50% of the company’s assets are located outside of the U.S.; (ii) at least 50% of the company’s revenue or profits are generated outside of the U.S.; (iii) the company is organized or maintains its principal place of business outside of the U.S.; or (iv) the company’s securities are traded principally outside of the U.S.

The equity securities in which the Fund generally invests are common stocks. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% investment policy, however, equity securities also include preferred stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”), which are certificates typically issued by a bank or trust company that represent ownership interests in securities of non-U.S. companies. With respect to 20% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund may also invest in the equity securities of mid-capitalization companies.

The Fund plans to invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies of any size. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, equity securities include common and preferred stock, convertible securities, depositary receipts, and private placements. The Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in securities of issuers located outside the U.S. and may invest significantly in securities of issuers located in emerging or frontier markets, which the Adviser defines as countries other than those classified as developed by MSCI.

No more than 35% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in securities of companies located in a single country, and the Fund’s net assets will be invested in securities of companies located in at least three different countries. As a result of the Adviser’s investment strategy, a large portion of the portfolio may be invested in a particular country or region.

In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the Adviser seeks to achieve its investment objective through an active, research-driven, fundamentals-based, value-oriented investment process. The Adviser adheres to disciplined, value-driven investment strategies that emphasize securities chosen through in-depth research and follows those securities over time to assess whether they continue to meet the purchase rationale.

The Adviser selects equity securities through bottom-up fundamental research. The Adviser’s research analysts continually evaluate companies within their defined investable universe based upon a variety of both qualitative and quantitative criteria. Quantitative measures include price-to-earnings, price-to-book value, price-to-sales, price-to-net present value, price-to-free cash flow, sustainable dividend yield and price-to-liquidation/replacement value. The qualitative analysis

assists the research team in producing an understanding of franchise quality, management strength, corporate strategy, barriers-to-entry, shareholder value orientation, operating and industry fundamentals and competitive advantage. The research-driven investment process seeks to add value through active management and by selecting securities of companies that, in the Adviser’s opinion, are misperceived and undervalued by the market. The Adviser makes use of convertible securities on an opportunistic basis as an alternative to the underlying equity in addition to also considering securities across a company’s capital structure, including debt.

The Adviser may sell a security when the Adviser believes that it has found a better alternative, the security’s fundamentals have deteriorated, or the security’s value has appreciated and approached the Adviser’s estimated intrinsic value.
