Fund Description
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in investments providing significant exposure to real assets (“real asset-related investments”). The Fund’s real asset-related investments consist of securities across multiple asset classes that have the potential to benefit, either directly or indirectly, from increases in the rate of rising costs of goods and services (i.e., inflation). The Fund considers an equity security of a company to be a real asset-related investment if it either (i) derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from, or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets committed to, real assets (i.e., assets that have physical properties, such as energy and natural resources, real estate, basic materials, equipment, utilities and infrastructure, and commodities). For example, real asset-related investments considered for investment by the Fund include (i) commodity/natural resource-related securities, such as equity securities of companies engaged in the energy, industrial, and materials sectors, and (ii) global real estate-related securities, including equity real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). In addition,
global inflation-linked securities, including inflation-protected public obligations of the U.S. Treasury, commonly known as “TIPS”, are also considered to be real asset-related investments of the Fund. Real asset-related investments may also include investments in other ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”) that directly or indirectly invest in commodities or TIPS. The Fund’s investments in equity interests are generally expected to include common stock, general and limited partnership interests of publicly traded master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), and units of royalty trusts. Although the majority of the Fund’s portfolio securities are expected to be of issuers that are either domiciled in or earn a majority of their revenues from activities within the United States, the Fund also may have significant exposure to issuers that are either domiciled in or earn a majority of their revenues from activities within Asia, Canada, or Europe. The Fund may invest in non-U.S. securities, including depositary receipts. AXS Investments LLC serves as the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”) and Astoria Portfolio Advisors LLC serves as the investment sub-advisor to the Fund (“Astoria”). Astoria manages the investment strategy and portfolio selection for the Fund.
In pursuing its investment strategy, Astoria seeks to identify real asset-related investments that it believes are positioned to benefit from a sustained inflationary environment, such as companies the overall profits of which are expected to increase with rising consumer, producer, and raw material prices (“real asset-related companies”). Examples of real asset-related companies that Astoria believes may benefit from a rising interest rate environment include, but are not limited to, companies producing industrial machinery, metals and steel, and companies engaged in the exploration, production, transportation and mining of commodity assets, such as oil, gas, coal, agriculture, minerals and other real assets, including the passive ownership of royalties or production streams of such assets. Astoria expects that the Fund’s portfolio generally will include the equity securities of approximately 50-60 issuers that may range from mid- to large-capitalization companies.
The Fund may also invest in Underlying ETFs with exposure to commodities that have an opportunity to benefit from higher demand, elevated global growth, or a shortage of supply, including, but not limited to, crude oil, copper, natural gas, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, soybean, live cattle, coffee, and corn. The Underlying ETFs typically gain exposure to these commodities through the use of commodity-linked derivatives, including futures contracts.
The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in Underlying ETFs that invest in investment grade fixed income securities of any maturity and in equity ETFs that have the potential to benefit from rising inflation. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the equity securities of financial services companies that are not real asset-related investments.
In selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio, Astoria employs a top-down quantitative approach selecting the companies which pass various fundamental screens, such as valuations, growth prospects, quality ratios, and momentum measures. Astoria’s research and analysis seeks to leverage data from a variety of external sources as well as internal research in order to identify and capitalize on trends that have implications for individual companies, sectors or commodities exposures. Astoria expects to sell portfolio holdings when it determines they no longer fit the Fund’s investment strategy or are no longer attractively valued on a fundamental basis.
The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).
