Principal Investment Risks: As with all funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund’s net asset value and price of shares and performance. The following describes the risks the Fund bears with respect to its investments. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. Many of the risks presented below are born by the Fund indirectly through the constituents of the Index.

 

Active Management Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]

Active Management Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that the investment management strategy may not produce the intended results and may negatively impact Fund performance. The adviser’s strategy may not produce positive results and the adviser’s security selection choices and credit hedge strategy may not fully protect the Fund’s portfolio from declines in price or from defaults.

 

Credit Risks [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Credit Risk. The Fund will lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a credit instrument goes bankrupt or is unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay principal. The value of a security may decline if there are concerns about an issuer’s ability or willingness to make interest and or principal payments. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength or in an issuer’s or security’s credit rating also may affect a security’s value and thus have an impact on Fund performance. The Fund considers all derivatives and non-U.S. Treasury debt instruments as subject to credit risk. Subordinated credit instruments may receive little or no recovery if the issuer or guarantor of a credit instrument goes bankrupt.

 

Loan Participation And Syndicated Loan Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Loan Participation and Syndicated Loan Risk. In addition to the credit risk of the underlying borrower, loan participations are subject to the credit risk of the entity participating a share of the loan to the investor. Because the investor does not have a direct relationship with the underlying borrower, it is dependent on the entity making the participation to collect payments and enforce rights in the event of a default by the borrower. Similarly, syndicated loans are dependent on the lead lender to act as administrative agent for the members of the syndicate to collect payments and coordinate enforcement of rights in the event of a default.

 

High Yield Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

High Yield Risk. The Fund may have exposure to high yield debt also known as “junk bonds”. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality are subject to greater levels of credit, call, and liquidity risks. High yield securities are considered primarily speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments, and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.

 

Interest Rate Risks [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investment in private credit securities will fall when interest rates rise. The effect of increased interest rates is more pronounced for any intermediate-term or longer-term obligations.

 

Small Capitalization Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Small Capitalization Risk. The earnings and prospects of small sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small sized companies normally have fewer resources from which to repay debt and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience.

 

Market And Geopolitical Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Market and Geopolitical Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.

 

Swaps Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Swaps Risk. The Fund’s use of swaps involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a swap transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations and the Fund may not receive payments owed under the contract, or such payments may be delayed and the value of agreements with the counterparty may decline; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset or index; and (iv) swap fees will reduce Fund returns.

 

Over-the-Counter Market Risk. Swaps traded in over-the-counter markets may trade less frequently and in limited volumes and thus exhibit more volatility and liquidity risk, and the prices paid by the Fund in over-the-counter transactions may include an undisclosed dealer markup. The Fund is also exposed to default by the over-the-counter counterparty who may be unwilling or unable to perform its contractual obligations to the Fund.

 

Allocation Risk [Member]

Allocation Risk. If the Fund’s strategy for allocating assets among Index constituents, swaps, and credit hedges does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with the same or similar investment strategy.

 

Tracking Error Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Tracking Error Risk. Tracking error is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of the Index. Tracking error may occur because of imperfect correlation between the Fund’s holdings of portfolio securities and those in the Index, pricing differences, the Fund’s holding of cash, difference in timing of the accrual of dividends, changes to the Index or the need to meet various regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses while the Index does not.

 

Index Provider Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Index Provider Risk. There is no assurance that the Index will be compiled, determined, composed or calculated accurately. VettaFi does not provide any warranty or accept any liability in relation to the quality, accuracy or completeness of data in the Index, and does not guarantee that the Index will be in line with its methodology. VettaFi makes no express or implied representation, guarantee or assurance with regard to: (a) the advisability in investing in the financial instruments in the Index; (b) the quality, accuracy and/or completeness of the Index; and/or (c) the results obtained or to be obtained by any person or entity from the use of the Index. VettaFi makes no guarantee as to the accuracy and/or the completeness of the Index and shall not have any liability for any errors or omissions with respect thereto.

 

Concentration Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Concentration Risk. The Fund may concentrate its investments in securities of a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates its investments in securities of a particular industry or group of industries. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect the industry or group of industries. This may cause the Fund’s share price to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not concentrate in a particular industry or group of industries.

 

Nondiversified Fund Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater portion of its assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single portfolio holding could cause greater fluctuations in the Fund’s share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a single portfolio holding or a relatively small number of portfolio holdings to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

 

Limited History Of Operations [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Limited History of Operations. The Fund is a new ETF and therefore does not yet have a history of operations for investors to evaluate.

 

Cash Or Cash Equivalents Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Cash or Cash Equivalents Risk. At any time, the Fund may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time. Additionally, in rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents may adversely affect the Fund’s performance and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

 

U S Treasury And Agency Market Ris [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

U.S. Treasury and Agency Market Risk. The U.S. Treasury and agency market can be volatile, and the value of instruments correlated with these markets may fluctuate dramatically from day to day. U.S. Treasury and agency obligations may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other debt instruments, U.S. Treasury and agency obligations are subject to debt instrument risk and interest rate risk. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury and agency obligations to decline.

 

Underlying Fund Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Underlying Fund Risk. BDCs and CEFs in which the Fund invests indirectly through the Index are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, the implied cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the BDCs and CEFs and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each of the BDCs and CEFs is subject to its own specific risks, but the adviser expects the principal investments risks of such will be similar to the risks of investing in the Fund.

 

Early Closetrading Halt Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Early Close/Trading Halt Risk. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the Fund from buying or selling certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur substantial trading losses.

 

Etf Structure Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

ETF Structure Risk. The Fund is structured as an ETF. As a result, the Fund is subject to special risks, including:

 

  Not Individually Redeemable. The Fund’s Shares (“Shares”) are not redeemable by retail investors and may be redeemed only by the Authorized Participant at net asset value (“NAV”) and only in Creation Units. A retail investor generally incurs brokerage costs when selling shares.

 

  Trading Issues. Trading in Shares on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange, which may result in the Fund’s shares being delisted. An active trading market for the Shares may not be developed or maintained. If the Shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as Authorized Participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Shares.

 

  Market Price Variance Risk. Individual Shares of the Fund that are listed for trading on the Exchange can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly and you may pay more than NAV when buying Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares. The market price of Shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. In times of severe market disruption, the bid-ask spread often increases significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of Shares is falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your Shares. The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund over a period of time. Investors purchasing and selling Shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those Authorized Participants creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.

 

  In times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market making in shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which can lead to differences between the market value of Shares and the Fund’s NAV.

 

  The market price for the Shares may deviate from the Fund’s NAV, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly less for Shares than the Fund’s NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask price for Fund shares or in the closing price.

 

  In stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the Shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the Shares and the Fund’s NAV.

 

  Authorized Participant Risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as an Authorized Participant on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, the Fund’s shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.
