Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the expense ratios in the Fund’s Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and exclude Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. EXAMPLE The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then hold or sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. You may also pay brokerage commissions on the purchase and sale of Shares, which are not reflected in the example.

The Sub-Adviser defines “emerging or prevailing market theme” as market sectors, asset classes, or regions that are believed to be poised for future growth through the market cycle (i.e, the period of time between two major lows for a market).</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Sub-Adviser’s investment process is macro-focused, looking to generate value through its active management of the Fund’s portfolio across various emerging or prevailing market themes. The Sub-Adviser believes these market themes typically result from major macroeconomic shifts, new secular regimes (i.e., a new secular trend driven by fundamental changes in the economy), or eras of innovation and are typically born in areas of the market that have been underappreciated or ignored for a prolonged period, likely because of a structural consolidation from a prior theme high (i.e., the period that follows a market theme downtrend where companies begin to show signs of recovery). For example, the emerging and prevailing market theme during the 1990s involved the significant outperformance in technology/internet related companies. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Sub-Adviser’s investment process begins by using proprietary analysis to identify an emerging or prevailing market theme using the macroeconomic and market framework of valuations, future growth prospects, economic growth outlook, monetary and fiscal policy outlook, and inflation or disinflation outlook. The Sub-Adviser generally expects a market theme to last approximately five to ten years. These themes are developed and driven by the direction and impact of the business cycle (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">, the increase and decrease of economic activity over time), market, macroeconomic monetary and fiscal policy, and inflation or </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">disinflationary forces.

This process involves a review of several factors, including, but not limited to, a company’s price-to-earnings ratio, earnings per share, profit margin, return on equity, relative value to peers, and debt-equity ratio, and is designed to identify companies that are trading below their intrinsic value (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">, the company’s value as determined by the Sub-Adviser) and/or may be currently out of favor with investors.

The Fund has no limit on the amount of assets it may invest in foreign securities.

For example, the Sub-Adviser may invest in inverse ETFs when it believes one or more asset classes, sectors, or regions are out of favor to gain short exposure to such asset class, sector, or region. The Fund will not short securities directly or invest in leveraged inverse ETFs.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">While it is anticipated that the Fund will invest across various industries, certain sectors may be overweight compared to others because the Sub-Adviser seeks the best investment opportunities within the macro and correlated sub-themes. The Sub-Adviser generally seeks to sell an investment when it believes that the investment’s value has been fully reflected in a higher valuation by the market or when a negative fundamental development occurs at the company, sector, or regional level that could impact future growth. In addition, when the Sub-Adviser’s macro view of the market begins to change it will begin repositioning the Fund’s portfolio to the next emerging or prevailing market theme.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Because the Fund intends to operate as a “non-diversified” fund, that means it can invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund and can invest more of its assets in securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in one or more ETFs.</span></div> An investor may lose money by investing in the Fund.

The Fund could lose money due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises, and environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fire, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and volatility in markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Non-Diversification Risk.</span> Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes affecting individual issuers or investments than a diversified fund, which may result in greater fluctuation in the value of the Shares and greater risk of loss. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Equity Investing Risk.</span> An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Thematic Risk.</span> The Fund’s Sub-Adviser employs a “thematic” style of investing which means the Fund will invest primarily in securities of issuers that are considered economically involved with the macro and correlated themes. In that case, the Fund may forego some market opportunities available to funds that do not follow the particular themes established by the Sub-Adviser. Companies operating within Sub-Adviser’s selected investment theme may be out of favor in particular market cycles and perform less well than the market as a whole. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commodities Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Commodities include, among other things, energy products, agricultural products, industrial metals, precious metals and livestock. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors, including overall market movements, economic events and policies, changes in interest rates or inflation rates, changes in monetary and exchange control programs, war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters and technological developments. Variables such as disease, drought, floods, weather, trade, embargoes, tariffs and other political events, in particular, may have a larger impact on commodity prices than on traditional securities. These additional variables may create additional investment risks that subject an ETF’s/ETP’s investments to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions. Because certain commodities may be produced in a limited number of countries and may be controlled by a small number of producers, political, economic and supply-related events in such countries could have a disproportionate impact on the prices of such commodities. These factors may affect the value of an ETF/ETP in varying ways, and different factors may cause the value and the volatility of an ETF/ETP to move in inconsistent directions at inconsistent rates.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commodity ETF Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Commodity ETFs are generally not registered as investment companies for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws, and are not subject to regulation by the SEC as investment companies, although some commodity ETFs may be registered investment companies. Consequently, the owners of a non-investment company commodity ETF do not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in investment companies. For example, the provisions of the 1940 Act that limit transactions with affiliates, prohibit the suspension of redemptions (except under certain limited circumstances) or limit sales loads do not apply to commodity ETFs. Commodity ETFs do not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts regulated by the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”), as administered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Furthermore, commodity ETFs are not a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA, and their sponsors are not subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading adviser. Consequently, the owner of a commodity ETF does not have the regulatory protections provided to investors in CEA regulated instruments or commodity pools, the sponsor is not subject to registration as a commodity pool operator, and the owners of the commodity ETF do not receive a disclosure document or certified annual report required to be delivered by a commodity pool operator. To the extent that the Fund invests in a commodity ETF, the Fund may be subject to duplicative advisory and administrative fees. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Commodity ETFs are publicly traded partnerships, not regulated investment companies. Because of the 25% limit on ownership of publicly traded partnerships, the Fund will have to monitor its holdings in commodity ETFs so that such holdings will not constitute 25% of its assets at the close of any quarter.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commodities Tax Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> In order for the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, it must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from “qualifying income”. Income and gains from certain commodity-linked instruments do not constitute “qualifying income” to a RIC for purposes of the 90% gross income test. The tax treatment of some other commodity-linked instruments in which the Fund might invest is not certain, in particular with respect to whether income or gains from such instruments constitute “qualifying income” to a RIC. If the IRS publishes an adverse determination relating to the treatment of such income and gain, the Fund would likely need to significantly change its investment strategies in order to qualify as a RIC under the Internal Revenue Code.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Metals and Mining Companies Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Metals and mining companies can be significantly affected by events relating to international political and economic developments, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects, commodity prices, and tax and other government regulations. Investments in metals and mining companies may be speculative and may be subject to greater price volatility than investments in other types of companies. Risks of metals and mining investments include: changes in international monetary policies or economic and political conditions that can affect the supply of precious metals and consequently the value of metals and mining company investments; the United States or foreign governments may pass laws or regulations limiting metals investments for strategic or other policy reasons; and increased environmental or labor costs may depress the value of metals and mining investments.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Gold Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Fund may, from time to time, invest in underlying exchange-traded products that, in turn, invest primarily in physical gold. Investments in gold are subject to following risks: the price of gold may be volatile, fluctuating substantially over short periods of time; the market for gold or other precious metals is relatively limited; the sources of gold or other precious metals are concentrated in countries that have the potential for instability; and the market for gold and other precious metals is unregulated. Furthermore, in times of stable economic growth, traditional equity and debt investments could offer greater appreciation potential and the price of gold may be adversely affected.</span></div> <span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Allocation Risk.</span> The Fund’s performance and risks depend in part on the Sub-Adviser’s skill in selecting and weighting the Fund’s investments. The Sub-Adviser’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the Fund’s exposure to common stocks and/or ETFs, domestic and/or international markets, may differ from actual market conditions. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Risk of Investing in Other ETFs.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Because the Fund may invest in other ETFs (affiliated and non-affiliated), the Fund’s investment performance is impacted by the investment performance of the selected underlying ETFs. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETFs that then-currently comprise the Fund’s portfolio. At times, certain of the segments of the market represented by the Fund’s underlying ETFs may be out of favor and underperform other segments. The Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests (including operating expenses and management fees), which are identified in the fee table above as “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.”</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Inverse ETF Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Inverse ETFs expose the Fund to all of the risks that traditional ETFs present (see “Risks of Investing in Other ETFs” above).

Inverse ETFs rely to some degree on derivatives to achieve their objectives and, thus, the Fund is indirectly exposed to derivatives risk through its investments in these ETFs. Further, investments in inverse ETFs are subject to the risk that the performance of the ETF will not correlate with the underlying index as intended. Inverse ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse of the performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. This effect can be magnified in volatile markets. Consequently, these investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose the Fund to complete loss of its investment.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Exchange-Traded Notes Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> ETNs are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities and an investment in an ETN exposes the Fund to the risk that an ETN’s issuer may be unable to pay.
