Fund Description

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by obtaining short exposure to investment returns of the broad U.S. large-capitalization equity market through short sales of U.S.-traded equity securities and ETFs. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that create or result in short exposure to U.S. equity securities.

The Advisor allocates the Fund’s portfolio using a disciplined and quantitative model owned and developed by Dorsey, Wright & Associates, LLC. The model seeks to identify securities with the highest relative weakness within the universe of investable securities, which is primarily comprised of large-capitalization U.S.-traded equity securities and ETFs. The model seeks to identify market periods, typically after severe market corrections, where the securities with the most relative weakness may subsequently outperform the broader market. The Fund then engages in short sales to seek to outperform the broader equity market.

The Fund’s investment focus applies a shorting strategy to a core philosophy of relative strength. Relative strength investing involves buying securities that have appreciated in price more than the other securities in the investment universe and holding those securities until they underperform. The strategy is entirely based on market movement of the securities and there is no company fundamental data involved in the analysis. In implementing the strategy, stock selection is strictly based on identifying opportunities to provide short exposure to the lowest ranked securities as measured by the relative strength investment process. In utilizing the model, the Advisor seeks to remove emotion from the day-to-day decision making by following a systematic process. While the Advisor generally expects to use the model when buying and selling investments, the Advisor has full investment discretion over the Fund’s portfolio.

On a day-to-day basis, for investment purposes and to cover its short positions, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities, short-term high quality fixed income securities, money market instruments, overnight and fixed-term repurchase agreements, cash and cash equivalents with maturities of one year or less, and ETFs that invest in these types of instruments.

The Fund’s strategy may frequently involve buying and selling securities, which may lead to relatively high portfolio turnover.
