Fund Description

The Fund’s Investment Strategy
The Fund is actively managed by Alpha Architect, LLC, the Fund’s investment sub-adviser (“Alpha Architect” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Sub-Adviser manages the Fund using proprietary methodology developed by the parent company of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, Empirical Finance, LLC, dba Alpha Architect.
The Sub-Adviser employs a multi-step, quantitative, rules-based methodology to identify a portfolio of approximately 50 to 200 equity securities with the highest relative momentum, as described below. A “momentum” style of investing emphasizes investing in securities that have had higher recent total return performance compared to other securities.
The Sub-Adviser analyzes an initial universe of liquid stocks that principally trade on a U.S. exchange. Typically, the minimum market capitalization for the smallest-capitalization stocks in the initial universe is above $1 billion.
The Sub-Adviser eliminates from the initial universe illiquid securities, real estate investment trusts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), American Depositary Receipts, and stocks of companies with less than twelve months of available financial data. The resulting universe is composed primarily of highly liquid, small-, mid- and large-cap stocks.
The Sub-Adviser then employs proprietary screens to eliminate companies with issues that may negatively impact their momentum. For example, the Sub-Adviser will generally eliminate companies that measure poorly on any of the following variables: (1) past six-month momentum (lower is bad), (2) past nine-month momentum (lower is bad), and (3) beta (higher is bad).
Next, the Sub-Adviser screens the remaining universe of companies to identify the companies with the highest cumulative return for the past 12 months, excluding the most recent month. Last, the Sub-Adviser employs an ensemble of momentum quality screens to identify which of the remaining companies has experienced the most consistent positive returns, as opposed to short-lived success during the 12-month period measured above. The Sub-Adviser then selects the top 50 to 200 momentum stocks.
As of September 30, 2023, the Fund had significant exposures to the following sectors: Consumer Discretionary (29.6%), Industrials (27.7%) and Information Technology (16.0%).
The Sub-Adviser will reallocate the Fund’s portfolio on a periodic basis, generally each month.
The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents, other investment companies, as well as securities and other instruments.
