To the extent that the Adviser absorbs expenses to satisfy this cap, it may recoup a portion or all of such amounts absorbed at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were absorbed, subject to the expense cap in place at the time recoupment is sought, which cannot exceed the expense cap at the time of the waiver.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.

The Fund will focus on a particular group of companies that the Adviser considers to be “Sustainable Energy” companies, which are companies that, in the Adviser’s view, generate, produce or provide alternative or renewable sources of energy (as compared to more traditional sources of energy that can be environmentally depletive, such as fossil fuels like oil or coal or other hydrocarbon-based fuels), or that produce, generate, transport, or deliver energy applications in a way that makes alternative or renewable energy more efficient or accessible or reduces the use of environmentally depletive energy resources. The Fund will invest in alternative energy companies including companies that generate power through solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal wave, geothermal, biomass or biofuels and the various companies that provide the equipment and technologies that enable these sources to be tapped, used, stored or transported, including companies that create, facilitate or improve technologies that conserve or enable more efficient use of energy. The Fund will not change this policy unless it gives shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity, as well as how the company’s business relates to sustainable characteristics like growth or development of alternative or renewable energy. The Adviser conducts an independent assessment of each portfolio company’s business.

You can lose money investing in shares of the Alternative Energy Fund and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Industry Risks. Prices of energy, whether traditional or sustainable, may fluctuate or decline due to many factors, including international political or economic developments, real or perceived, demand for energy and sustainable energy, production and distribution policies of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries, energy conservation projects, changes in governmental regulations affecting companies in the energy business or related lines of business, including Sustainable Energy companies, changes in technology affecting alternative or sustainable energy, and changes in tax regulations relating to energy. A decline in energy prices would likely have a negative effect on securities held by the Fund. The Fund’s focus on sustainable energy businesses exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if the Fund’s assets were diversified among various industries or sectors. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. The continued impact of Covid-19 and related variants is uncertain and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy , such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in Europe and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and South Korea. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. Countries in Asia may be more dependent on global trade relationships; interruptions in global trade could adversely affect securities of companies in Asia. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:36pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt;widows:2;list-style-type:none;margin-left:54pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:36pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt;widows:2;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;margin-left:54pt;margin-top:9pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:9pt;">currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">South Korea. South Korea’s economy is sensitive to changes in international trade, and could be adversely affected if there is a downturn in export markets globally. Substantial political tensions exist between North Korea and South Korea. South Korea’s economy and South Korean companies could be adversely affected by increases in tension between North Korea and South Korea. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), Taiwan (New Taiwan Dollar), Singapore (Singapore Dollar) and India (Rupee), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; portfolio manager judgments about securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap. Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with each Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold with seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 16.27% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.1627 Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush_no-space" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:0pt;">The Asia Focus Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of companies that are tied economically to countries in Asia excluding Japan. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. Under normal market conditions the Asia Focus Fund will invest in companies economically tied to at least four different countries in the Asia Pacific region, which may be developed or emerging markets and which may include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to the Asia Pacific region, see section “More About Each Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. The Fund’s allocations among countries may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund will invest in companies in emerging market countries. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund may invest up to 20% of its portfolio in securities of companies that are outside of Asia. These companies will generally be in the developed markets, including in the US and the UK. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will normally hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in Asian companies (excluding Japan). The Asia Focus Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of companies that are tied economically to countries in Asia excluding Japan. You can lose money investing in shares of the Asia Focus Fund and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund’s investments are concentrated in the Asia region excluding Japan, and therefore, the Fund’s portfolio holdings may be more sensitive to social, political and economic conditions in Asia than a Fund with a more geographically diverse investment portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Risks of Investing in Asia Pacific Securities. Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Australia. Australia’s economy is more dependent than others on exports, especially in commodities, and key trading relationships with the US, China, Japan, Singapore, the UK and other European countries. Reduction in demand for commodities and services could adversely affect companies in Australia. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China.<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Hong Kong. Hong Kong companies could be adversely affected by changes in Hong Kong’s relationship with China, of which Hong Kong is a special administrative district. Recent changes in the political and legal structure in Hong Kong (but not the economic structure) could adversely affect companies in Hong Kong. Global reaction to China’s actions with respect to Hong Kong could also adversely affect the Fund’s investments in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Singapore. Singapore’s economy relies heavily on exports and trade relationships with other countries. Singapore companies could be adversely affected by changes in its relationships with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as economic or political developments in other Asian nations that are key trading partners of Singapore. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Taiwan. Taiwan’s economy is more sensitive than others to changes in exports and global trading, and to tensions in Taiwan’s relationship with China. Taiwan is more dependent than other countries on imports of raw materials. Tensions between Taiwan and China over Taiwan’s independence could materially adversely affect companies in Taiwan. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy , such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), Taiwan (New Taiwan Dollar), Singapore (Singapore Dollar) and India (Rupee), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; portfolio manager judgments about securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap. Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with each Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold with seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">For more information on the risks of investing in this Fund, please see the Principal Risks, Risks of Investing in Asia, and Risks of Investing in Our Funds in the prospectus.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: <table class="NOGUTTER" style="width: 100.0%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px solid #000; border-width: 0pt;

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 22.23% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.2223 Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush_no-space" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:0pt;">The China & Hong Kong Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of companies that are either primarily traded on the China or Hong Kong exchanges or that derive at least 50% of their revenues from business activities in China and/or Hong Kong, but which may be listed and traded elsewhere. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Fund’s allocations among companies may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting its selection criteria).<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will normally hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million, including companies in emerging markets. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while most of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in securities of companies traded in or economically tied to China and Hong Kong. The China & Hong Kong Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of companies that are either primarily traded on the China or Hong Kong You can lose money investing in shares of the China & Hong Kong Fund and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund’s investments are concentrated in companies that are economically tied to China and Hong Kong. The Fund’s portfolio holdings may be more sensitive to social, political and economic conditions in China and Hong Kong as compared to a Fund with a more geographically diverse investment portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Risks of Investing in China and Hong Kong. The stock markets of China and Hong Kong may experience volatility and instability, which may cause a security to be worth more or less than it was at the time of purchase, and these risks can apply to particular sectors and particular securities and to entire markets. China and Hong Kong stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in these countries, including in their global interactions, and these stocks may fall out of favor with investors, and the Renminbi-Yuan and the Hong Kong Dollar may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China.<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Hong Kong. Hong Kong companies could be adversely affected by changes in Hong Kong’s relationship with China, of which Hong Kong is a special administrative district. Recent changes in the political and legal structure in Hong Kong (but not the economic structure) could adversely affect companies in Hong Kong. Global reaction to China’s actions with respect to Hong Kong could also adversely affect the Fund’s investments in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy , such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; portfolio manager judgments about securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap. Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with each Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold with seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

To the extent that the Adviser absorbs expenses to satisfy this cap, it may recoup a portion or all of such amounts absorbed at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were absorbed, subject to the expense cap in place at the time recoupment is sought, which cannot exceed the expense cap at the time of the waiver.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 9.62% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.0962 Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush_no-space" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:0pt;">The Global Energy Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of both U.S. and non-U.S. companies principally engaged in the production, exploration or discovery, or distribution of energy including the research and development or production of alternative energy sources. Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Adviser believes that growing demands on existing energy supplies, in particular petroleum-based energy supplies, could lead to higher prices for this and other traditional energy sources and the profitable development of alternative sources of energy. The Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will normally hold around 30 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund will concentrate its investments (that is, invest more than 25% of its total assets) in the energy sectors. The Adviser will invest the Fund’s assets in securities of all market capitalization companies, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. The Fund will invest in companies economically tied to U.S. and to foreign countries, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund expects that normally, at least 40% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in global securities. For this purpose, “global securities” means securities issued by companies with significant business activities outside the U.S. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long term capital appreciation primarily through investments in companies engaged in the exploration, production or distribution of oil, gas and other energy sources. The Global Energy Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of both U.S. The Fund will concentrate its investments (that is, invest more than 25% of its total assets) in the energy sectors. You can lose money investing in shares of the Global Energy Fund and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Energy Industry Risks. Prices of energy, including traditional sources of energy such as oil, gas, or electricity, and alternative energy, may fluctuate or decline due to many factors, including international political developments, real or perceived, demand for energy and sustainable energy, production and distribution policies of the OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries, energy conservation projects, changes in governmental regulations affecting companies in the energy business or related lines of business, including sustainable energy companies, , and changes in technology affecting businesses, changes in tax regulations relating to energy, and limitations or incentives affecting particular energy sources. A decline in energy prices would likely have a negative effect on securities held by the Fund. The Fund’s focus on the energy sector to the exclusion of other sectors exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if the Fund’s assets were diversified among various sectors. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. The continued impact of Covid-19 and related variants is uncertain and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy , such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof).<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Canada. The US is Canada’s largest trading partner of the US and Canada’s economy is closed linked to the US economy. Natural resources including energy and energy-related products and commodities are significant contributors to Canada’s economy. The Fund’s investments in Canadian companies could be adversely affected by volatility or declines in demand for energy and global demand for commodities produced by Canada. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), Taiwan (New Taiwan Dollar), Singapore (Singapore Dollar) and India (Rupee), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; portfolio manager judgments about securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap. Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with each Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold with seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

For each share class to the extent that the Adviser absorbs expenses to satisfy this cap, it may recoup a portion or all of such amounts absorbed at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were absorbed, subject to the expense cap in place at the time recoupment is sought, which cannot exceed the expense cap at the time of the waiver. The expense limitation agreement may be terminated by the Board of the Fund at any time without penalty upon 60 days’ notice.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15.67% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.1567 Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush_no-space" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:0pt;">The Global Innovators Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes are positioned for growth due to advances in technology, communications, globalism or innovative management. The Fund invests in companies that the Adviser believes can create value through original thinking. The Fund will consider all companies in the world’s developed stock markets, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and other stock markets in the European Union. The Fund also may consider investments in emerging stock markets, such as in China, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Africa and Mexico. The Fund considers “emerging stock markets” to be stock markets in countries considered to be emerging market countries by any of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund or any widely-recognized index of emerging market securities (e.g., Dow Jones, FTSE, S&P, MSCI). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will normally hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization size. The Fund expects that normally, at least 40% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in global securities. For this purpose, “global securities” means securities issued by companies with significant business activities outside the U.S. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in companies, wherever located, that the Adviser believes are positioned to benefit from innovations in technology, communication, globalism or management strategies. You can lose money investing in shares of the Global Innovators Fund and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Industry Risks. The technology, internet and communications industries or sectors are extremely competitive and subject to rapid rates of change. The competitive nature of these industries or sectors and rapid rate of change places a challenge on the management of these companies to be successful. The Fund may have more investments in these areas than other equity funds that do not focus on companies implementing innovation. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. The continued impact of Covid-19 and related variants is uncertain and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof).<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-left:36pt;margin-top:10pt;">Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), Taiwan (New Taiwan Dollar), Singapore (Singapore Dollar) and India (Rupee), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; portfolio manager judgments about securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap. Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with each Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold with seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;">Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective.

In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.

Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. In the Adviser’s view, investing in dividend-paying stocks permits investors to gain access to the more established companies in the region. In the Adviser’s view, “dividend builder” refers to a dividend-paying company which the Adviser believes will experience increasing dividends over time. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that have returned a real cash flow (cash flow adjusted for inflation) on investment of at least 8% for each of the last eight years, and, in the opinion of the Adviser, are likely to grow their dividend over time; however, this is one of several criteria used by the Adviser and it is possible that not all investments may meet this criterion. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Under normal market conditions the Asia Pacific Dividend Builder ETF will invest in companies economically tied to at least four different countries in the Asia Pacific region, which may be developed or emerging markets and which may include Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to a foreign country or the Asia Pacific region, see section “More About Each Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. The Fund’s allocations among countries in the Asia Pacific region may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund will invest in companies in emerging market countries, including China. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is actively managed, meaning the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its own research and evaluation process. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity, and its potential for consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth while maintaining company value. While the Fund does not concentrate its investments in any one industry, from time to time, based on changing market conditions and the number of companies meeting selection criteria, the Fund may make significant investments in certain industries. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund may invest up to 20% of its portfolio in securities of companies that are outside of the Asia Pacific region. These companies will generally be in the developed markets, including in the US and the UK. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or as many as 75 holdings. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek dividend income and long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in dividend-producing stocks of companies economically tied to the Asia Pacific region. The Guinness Atkinson Asia Pacific Dividend Builder ETF invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded, dividend-producing equity securities of companies that are tied economically to countries in the Asia Pacific region (as defined later in this Prospectus). You can lose money by investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson Asia Pacific Dividend Builder ETF and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There is no guarantee that the securities held by the Fund will declare or pay dividends in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="H2" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:99;page-break-after:avoid;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:1;margin-top:12pt;">Risks of Investing in Asia Pacific Securities. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Australia. Australia’s economy is more dependent than others on exports, especially in commodities, and key trading relationships with the US, China, Japan, Singapore, the UK and other European countries. Reduction in demand for commodities and services could adversely affect companies in Australia. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Hong Kong. Hong Kong companies could be adversely affected by changes in Hong Kong’s relationship with China, of which Hong Kong is a special administrative district. Recent changes in the political and legal structure in Hong Kong (but not the economic structure) could adversely affect companies in Hong Kong. Global reaction to China’s actions with respect to Hong Kong could also adversely affect the Fund’s investments in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to Hong Kong. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Singapore. Singapore’s economy relies heavily on exports and trade relationships with other countries. Singapore companies could be adversely affected by changes in its relationships with other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, as well as economic or political developments in other Asian nations that are key trading partners of Singapore. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Taiwan. Taiwan’s economy is more sensitive than others to changes in exports and global trading, and to tensions in Taiwan’s relationship with China. Tensions between Taiwan and China could materially adversely affect companies in Taiwan. <p class="H2" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:12pt;orphans:99;page-break-after:avoid;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:1;margin-top:12pt;">Risks Associated with Investments in Companies outside the United States. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal and regulatory risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities. Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economic activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The value of Fund shares could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), Taiwan (New Taiwan Dollar), Singapore (Singapore Dollar) and India (Rupee), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than U.S. markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries may generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and to holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap (US$10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. This could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF Shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares. These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to the ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to ETF Shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. When the spread widens, or when premiums or discounts become larger than usual, particularly in times of market stress, investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the Fund shares when they buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about each Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses, and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although Fund Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Fund may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 11.69% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.1169 Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities in dividend-paying companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). Equity Securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to assess a company’s ability to maintain consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth. One key measure of a company’s ability to achieve consistent, real dividend growth is its consistency in generating returns on capital, which is a measure of income produced by a company when compared to capital invested in the company’s operations. In the Adviser’s view, “dividend builder” refers to a dividend-paying company which the Adviser believes will experience increasing dividends over time. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that have returned a real cash flow (cash flow adjusted for inflation) on investment of at least 10% for each of the last 10 years and, in the opinion of the Adviser, are likely to grow their dividend over time; however, this is one of several criteria used by the Adviser and it is possible that not all investments may meet this criterion. The Fund will not change this strategy unless it gives shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is actively managed, meaning that the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its judgment and analysis of a company’s activities. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity and its potential for share price appreciation or return and for consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth while maintaining company value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization size. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will invest in companies on a global basis, meaning that it will generally hold both domestic and foreign companies, and may invest in companies economically tied to developed markets and emerging markets outside of the United States, including companies economically tied to countries in Europe, including France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and countries in Asia, including China, Australia, South Korea and Japan. The Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria) and there is no specific allocation of investments to US issuers or non-US issuers. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied a foreign country, see “More About the Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek a moderate level of current income and investments in dividend paying companies that have the ability to increase their dividends consistently over time. The Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities in dividend-paying companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). You can lose money by investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There is no guarantee that the securities held by the Fund will declare or pay dividends in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may become worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries within the Asia Pacific region, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal and regulatory risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities. Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economic activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union and the UK may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">☐ Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. Countries in Asia may be more dependent on global trade relationships; interruptions in global trade could adversely affect securities of companies in Asia. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:120pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">☐ Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect a Fund’s investments. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">☐ Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The value of Fund shares could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund declines against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than U.S. markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally may have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and to holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. The Fund’s investments in foreign issuers and depository receipts could make these holdings riskier than holdings in domestic companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap (US$10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Liquidity Risk. The Funds invest in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange may differ from the NAV. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF Shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. This could lead to differences between market price of ETF Shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares. These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to the Fund’s shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about each Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses, and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although Fund Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund Shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of the ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of the ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Funds may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, ETF Shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

As a result of the transaction, the Fund adopted the accounting and performance history of its predecessor mutual fund, the Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder Fund. The information shown below is for the predecessor mutual fund. The Fund’s total net operating expense ratio is lower than the net operating expense ratio of the predecessor mutual fund. Returns in the bar chart and table for the predecessor fund have not been adjusted.<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The annual returns bar chart demonstrates the risks of investing in the Guinness Atkinson Dividend Builder ETF by showing how the predecessor mutual fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table also demonstrates these risks by showing how the predecessor mutual fund’s average annual returns compare with a broad-based securities market index. Unlike the predecessor mutual fund’s returns, these index returns do not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, fees related to services for reclamation or collection of foreign taxes withheld, interest, taxes, dividends on short positions, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses to 0.45% through June 30, 2027.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Guinness Atkinson International Dividend Builder ETF shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has no operating history and therefore has no portfolio turnover information. Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Guinness Atkinson International Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities issued by dividend-paying companies economically tied to countries outside the United States that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). Equity Securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to assess a company’s ability to maintain consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth. One key measure of a company’s ability to achieve consistent, real dividend growth is its consistency in generating returns on capital, which is a measure of income produced by a company when compared to capital invested in the company’s operations. In the Adviser’s view, “dividend builder” refers to a dividend-paying company which the Adviser believes will experience increasing dividends over time. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that have returned a real cash flow (cash flow adjusted for inflation) on investment of at least 10% for each of the last 10 years and, in the opinion of the Adviser, are likely to grow their dividend over time; however, this is one of several criteria used by the Adviser and it is possible that not all investments may meet this criterion. The Fund will not change this strategy unless it gives shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is actively managed, meaning that the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its judgment and analysis of a company’s activities. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity and its potential for share price appreciation or return and for consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth while maintaining company value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 30-35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization size. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will invest in companies economically tied to countries outside the United States, meaning that it will generally hold securities issued by companies economically tied to developed markets and potentially, emerging markets, including companies economically tied to countries in Europe, including France, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and countries in Asia, including Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and China. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in publicly traded equity securities issued by companies economically tied to the United States. The Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria) and there is no specific allocation of investments to US issuers or non-US issuers. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied a foreign country, see “More About the Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective.<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek a moderate level of current income and investments in dividend paying companies that have the ability to increase their dividends consistently over time. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. The Guinness Atkinson International Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities issued by dividend-paying companies economically tied to countries outside the United States that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). You can lose money by investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson International Dividend Builder ETF and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There is no guarantee that the securities held by the Fund will declare or pay dividends in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced periods of extreme stress (sometimes relating to specific events) which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short-term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Global Risks. The Fund invests primarily in companies economically tied to countries outside the U.S. Companies economically tied to countries outside the U.S., and U.S. companies that have exposure to non-U.S. companies, may face global risks. The Fund may invest in or be exposed to companies that are exposed to more global risks. Economies and financial markets globally are increasingly interconnected, which means that events or conditions in one locale can affect markets or companies in other countries or regions. Companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to inflation or deflation, interest rates, safety and security, economic uncertainties (including taxes, tariffs and import/export controls), natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events, sanctions or embargoes). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">• Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. The continued impact of Covid-19 and related variants or viruses is uncertain and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">• Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. Beginning in 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions (direct and secondary) and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, and also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact companies in the Fund’s portfolio, which could adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Investing in Non-US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal and regulatory risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities. Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non-US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economic activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union and the UK may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:9pt;">Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. Countries in Asia may be more dependent on global trade relationships; interruptions in global trade could adversely affect securities of companies in Asia. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:144pt;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect a Fund’s investments. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The value of Fund shares could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund declines against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than U.S. markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally may have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and to holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. The Fund’s investments in foreign issuers and depository receipts could make these holdings riskier than holdings in domestic companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US $1 billion), medium cap (under US $5 billion) and large cap (US $10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange may differ from the NAV. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF Shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. This could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares (the NAV per share). These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to the ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to the Fund’s shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about each Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses, and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although Fund Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund Shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of the ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of the ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Funds may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, ETF Shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions, your costs would be: <table class="NOGUTTER _idGenTablePara-1" style=" width: 50.0%; border-collapse: collapse; border: 0px solid #000; border-width: 0pt; margin: 10pt auto 10pt auto;"> <tr class="NOGUTTER _idGenTableRowColumn-8"> <td class="TCH_C" style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-left-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:0pt;padding-bottom:4pt;padding-left:3pt;padding-right:3pt;padding-top:2pt;vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom-color:#000000;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-left-color:#2b5496;border-right-color:#2b5496;border-top-color:#000000;border-top-width:1pt;padding-left:0pt;width: 50.00%; padding: 0in 0in 3px 0in;border-width: 0pt;border-top: windowtext 1pt none; border-top-style: solid;border-bottom: windowtext 1pt none; border-bottom-style: solid;" valign="bottom"> <p class="TCH_left" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:3pt;margin-top:0;orphans:1;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:left;text-indent:0;widows:1;margin-left:5pt;">1 Year </td> <td class="TCH_C" style="border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-left-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;border-top-style:solid;border-top-width:0pt;padding-bottom:4pt;padding-left:3pt;padding-right:3pt;padding-top:2pt;vertical-align:bottom;border-bottom-color:#000000;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-left-color:#2b5496;border-right-color:#2b5496;border-top-color:#000000;border-top-width:1pt;width: 50.00%; padding: 0in 0in 3px 0in;border-width: 0pt;border-top: windowtext 1pt none; border-top-style: solid;border-bottom: windowtext 1pt none; border-bottom-style: solid;" valign="bottom"> <p class="TCH" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:bold;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:3pt;margin-top:0;orphans:1;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:center;text-indent:0;widows:1;text-align:left;">3 Years </td> </tr> <tr class="NOGUTTER _idGenTableRowColumn-7"> <td class="TB" style="border-bottom-width:0pt;border-left-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;border-top-width:0pt;padding-bottom:3pt;padding-left:3pt;padding-right:3pt;padding-top:3pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#dedfe0;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-top-color:#000000;border-top-width:1pt;padding-left:0pt;width: 50.00%; padding: 0in 0in 3px 0in;border-width: 0pt;border-top: windowtext 1pt none; border-top-style: solid;border-bottom: windowtext 1pt none; border-bottom-style: solid;" valign="bottom"> <p class="Tbody_centeralign" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:1;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:center;text-indent:0;widows:1;margin-left:5pt;text-align:left;">$46 </td> <td class="TB" style="border-bottom-width:0pt;border-left-width:0pt;border-right-width:0pt;border-top-width:0pt;padding-bottom:3pt;padding-left:3pt;padding-right:3pt;padding-top:3pt;vertical-align:bottom;background-color:#dedfe0;border-bottom-width:1pt;border-top-color:#000000;border-top-width:1pt;width: 50.00%; padding: 0in 0in 3px 0in;border-width: 0pt;border-top: windowtext 1pt none; border-top-style: solid;border-bottom: windowtext 1pt none; border-bottom-style: solid;" valign="bottom"> <p class="Tbody_centeralign" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:0;orphans:1;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:center;text-indent:0;widows:1;text-align:left;">$154 </td> </tr> </table> 46 154 Portfolio Turnover <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has no operating history and therefore has no portfolio turnover information. Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Real Assets Income ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in a combination of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly traded equity securities of companies that are dividend paying and that derive a significant portion (at least 50%) of their revenue or income from, or own significant assets in, the real estate or infrastructure industries. The Fund may vary its holdings between REITs and infrastructure companies (as described below), but in general, at all times, the Fund intends that at least 15% of its assets will be invested in REITs, and at least 15% of its assets will be invested in infrastructure companies. The Fund intends to invest substantially all of its assets in dividend-paying companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Adviser believes that exposure to real asset-owning companies active across infrastructure and real estate can provide a long-term source of capital return in addition to income. The Fund targets companies which build, finance, maintain and operate the physical assets that sustain daily life and enable economic growth. The Adviser believes that these companies can benefit from long-term contracted, inflation-linked revenue streams, and that in some cases, they indirectly facilitate exposure to underlying private market assets and can deliver differentiated sources of return and risk characteristics. The Fund invests only in publicly-traded securities. The Fund invests in securities economically tied to the United States and also in securities economically tied to foreign countries. The Adviser expects that the Fund will be invested in securities of issuers economically tied to a range of countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Spain, New Zealand, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Singapore, but the Fund may invest in issuers economically tied to developed and emerging markets. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">With respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in “real estate”, the Fund will invest in REITs, of any kind, and in other companies that finance, develop, construct and operate real estate, of any kind. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">With respect to the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in infrastructure companies, the Fund intends to invest primarily in companies which pay dividends and which engage in the development, financing, construction, operation, or management of assets in the following areas: <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Utilities, including oil, gas, water and renewable or sustainable energy resources, electricity generation, grid renewal <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Energy, including production, storage or transportation <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Communications, including telecommunications, data centers, hardware, software, cable, satellites, and all aspects of computing or cloud technologies infrastructure <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Transportation, including marine, road, rail, aerospace and other transportation categories <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Natural Resources, including oil, gas and timber <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">In evaluating whether a company is real estate company or an infrastructure company, the Adviser considers the company’s public statements about its activities, including regulatory filings (reflecting profits, revenues, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), cash flow and assets), as well as third-party industry assessments of products and services that the company delivers and the role of those products or services in real estate or infrastructure. The Fund will concentrate its assets (that is, hold more than 25% of its assets) in securities of issuers that are principally engaged in the group of industries comprised of real estate, infrastructure and energy (including utilities) (excluding securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities)).<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is actively managed, meaning that the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its judgment and analysis of a company’s activities. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, the quality of its balance sheet, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity and its potential for share price appreciation or return and for consistent dividend growth while maintaining company value. The Adviser may use sector overlays and consider the inclusion of companies in third-party indices as part of its analysis. The Fund invests primarily in U.S.-listed companies, but may invest in non-U.S. companies or other companies economically tied to the U.S., and all companies in which the Fund invests may have assets exposed in non-U.S. geographies or businesses. The Adviser monitors potential or actual investments for performance and risk perspectives, as well as to quantify drivers of return and assess company performance versus expectations. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 30-35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or as many as 75 holdings. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of US $500 million.

While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek capital returns plus income through focused investment in Real Estate and Infrastructure companies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. The Real Assets Income ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowing for investment purposes) in a combination of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly traded equity securities of companies that are dividend paying and that derive a significant portion (at least 50%) of their revenue or income from, or own significant assets in, the real estate or infrastructure industries. The Fund will concentrate its assets (that is, hold more than 25% of its assets) in securities of issuers that are principally engaged in the group of industries comprised of real estate, infrastructure and energy (including utilities) (excluding securities of the U.S. government (including its agencies and instrumentalities)).

The Fund will invest in real-estate related companies, including REITs (real estate investment trusts), as well as companies that own, hold, develop, manage or operate real estate assets. These companies expose investors indirectly to the risks associated with owning real estate directly, as well as the risks of operating real estate management companies. Real estate assets can be affected by changes in property values, government actions (including levels of tax or other local regulations), zoning designations, usage limitations, environmental conditions, limitations on rental income increases or evictions, casualty events (including natural disasters) and eminent domain. Real estate investments are sensitive to local, state and federal changes and can be cyclical, including during periods of overdevelopment. REITs may be subject to additional risks including risks relating to financing <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:9pt;">or leverage to acquire real-estate related assets, financial market and leverage exposures, and potential defaults. REITs may fail to continue to qualify for favorable tax or regulatory treatment, based on changes in underlying assets. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Infrastructure Risk. Companies in the infrastructure industry may be subject to a variety of factors that could adversely affect their business or operations, including high or variable interest costs in connection with capital spending or construction programs (including government-backed programs), higher than average degrees of leverage, costs associated with governmental, environmental and other regulations, the level of government spending on or in support of infrastructure projects, and other factors. These companies may also be more sensitive to global or local changes in inflation, tariffs, supply chain constrictions, business disruptions, and changes in commodity or energy prices. Transportation costs associated with infrastructure projects may be affected by supply and demand for specific products or services, tax policy or tariffs, government regulation, world events and global or local economic conditions. Within Infrastructure, the Fund invests in companies exposed to the following types of risks: <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Energy Sector Risk. The Fund invests in infrastructure companies that may be more sensitive to prices and developments in the energy sector, both long and short term. Prices of energy, whether traditional or sustainable, may fluctuate or decline due to many factors, including domestic or international political or economic developments (including tariffs or export or import restrictions), real or perceived, changes in supply or demand for demand for energy and sustainable energy, production and distribution policies of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries, energy conservation projects, changes in governmental regulations affecting companies in the energy business or related lines of business, changes in technology affecting traditional or alternative energy, and changes in tax regulations relating to energy or goods relating to energy production, transportation, storage or distribution. Energy companies also face risks from terrorism, natural disasters and other catastrophic events, government interventions and energy conservation efforts. The performance of energy companies tends to be cyclical and highly dependent on energy prices, which can be subject to market interruptions and unforeseen financial pressures (such as when energy futures and energy prices misalign). A decline in energy prices would likely have a negative effect on securities held by the Fund. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Utility Industry Risk. The Fund will invest in companies that have more exposures to the utility sector than other funds. Companies in the utility sector may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, capital allocations, regulatory and tax changes. In most places, companies in the utilities industry are regulated by governmental entities, which can facilitate projects or alternatively increase costs and delays for projects. Utility companies may not be able to pass increased costs or expenses to customers without approval. In some areas, utility deregulation may cause increases in investment, competition, innovation and profits. In other places, costs associated with developing energy distribution resources may reduce competition, capital deployment and profits. All of these factors could affect dividend payments by utility companies. In addition, companies in the utilities industry may face cost increases and reduced access to fuel (such as oil, coal, natural gas, wind, solar or nuclear energy) and potentially high interest costs for borrowing to finance new projects. Even domestic U.S. utility companies can be affected by global developments affecting energy markets. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Communications Industry Risk. The Fund will invest in companies that are closely aligned to the communications sector, and these companies may be more vulnerable to product development cycles including obsolescence than other companies that are not as reliant upon digital and technological advancements and telephony. Companies in the communications industry can face rapid development and deployment of competitive innovations and products, some of which may be designed to “disrupt” established communication channels. These companies may also face competition, enhanced research and development costs (including <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">satellite, platform access and cybersecurity costs), risks of government regulation, as well as data security and privacy concerns. These companies may also face increased risks of security breaches which may be aimed at enterprise data or customer/consumer data, the theft of which could expose a company to business losses as well as fines or other monetary consequences. These risks apply to the communications sector as a whole and to individual companies within this sector. The Fund could lose money if a company in its portfolio is adversely affected by one of these risks. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Natural Resources Risk. The Fund will invest in companies in the natural resources sector. These securities may decline for a range of reasons, including changes in interest rates, commodity prices, governmental regulator or support, taxes or tariffs, import or export restrictions, tariffs or threats of tariffs, environmental conditions, changes in exchange rates, catastrophic events, or changes in rates of depletion of resources. These securities may also change in value based on costs associated with the production, extraction, or transportation of these resources. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Concentration Risk. The Fund will generally hold substantial assets in the Real Estate and Income companies, which means that it will be more sensitive to losses due to adverse events that affect these areas of the economy as a whole. The Fund’s concentration in these companies may present more risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in these companies would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a fund that does not concentrate in such companies. At times, the performance of these companies may lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal, and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU). Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union and the UK may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom.<p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. Countries in Asia may be more dependent on global trade relationships; interruptions in global trade could adversely affect securities of companies in Asia. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:144pt;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect a Fund’s investments. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than US markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There is no guarantee that the securities held by the Fund will declare or pay dividends in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• U.S. Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities of issuers economically tied to the U.S. This means the Fund’s investments are subject to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security and economic risks that are specific to the U.S., including changes in the U.S. economy, interest rates, taxes or tariffs, or changes in U.S. financial markets including their integration into the global interconnected markets. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced periods of extreme stress (sometimes relating to specific events) which resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short-term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Global Risks. The Fund invests primarily in companies economically tied to foreign countries and U.S. issuers that have exposure to non-U.S. companies. The Fund will invest in or be exposed to companies that are exposed to more global risks. Economies and financial markets globally are increasingly interconnected, which means that events or conditions in one locale can affect markets or companies in other countries or regions. Companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to inflation or deflation, interest rates, safety and security, economic uncertainties (including taxes, tariffs and import/export controls), natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events, sanctions or embargoes). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. Beginning in 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions (direct and secondary) and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, and also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact companies in the Fund’s portfolio, which could adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US $1 billion), medium cap (under US $5 billion) and large cap (US $10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">This could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF Shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares. These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to the ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to ETF Shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. When the spread widens, or when premiums or discounts become larger than usual, particularly in times of market stress, investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the Fund shares when they buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about the Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses, and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although ETF Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:9pt;">without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Fund may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when the Fund’s shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, may affect the Fund’s performance.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Smart Transportation companies and Technology companies, each of which is defined below. The Fund is actively managed, meaning the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Adviser defines “Smart Transportation” to mean the integration of modern technologies and business practices as applied to transportation, resulting in safer, cleaner, or connected transportation, and smart transportation “as a service”. Importantly, the Adviser believes that Smart Transportation is a thematic concept rather than an industry sector. The Fund will invest in Smart Transportation companies, which are companies that are in the business of designing, producing, manufacturing or distributing products or services that involve at least one of the following elements: <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Safer, which means safety enhancements derived from the inclusion of a level of autonomy in transportation. Companies that meet this definition of safer are designing, producing, manufacturing or distributing vehicles (or vehicle components or systems) that are objectively on the path towards autonomy, meaning they incorporate, at a minimum, Level 1 autonomy technology. For this purpose, the Adviser uses the definition of Level 1 Autonomy published by SAE International or Partners for Automated Vehicle Education, which is, in short, technologies designed to assume a portion of driving authority. Companies that meet this definition could also be providing products and services used in the manufacture or development of safer vehicles (which could be autonomous, electric or hybrid vehicles). <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Cleaner, which means vehicles, vehicle components or systems that increase efficiency or reduce emissions from vehicles; this would include vehicles that are “light hybrid” or “fully electric” and systems like thermal management systems and more efficient vehicle fuel technologies, such as batteries and alternative fuels or fuel cells. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Connected, which means vehicles that use connectivity or communication in their operations, either internally with devices or programs in the same vehicle, or externally, from one vehicle to another vehicle (V2V) or from a vehicle to infrastructure (V2I). The infrastructure receiving communications from a connected vehicle could include traffic information or control devices, emergency response platforms, global positioning systems, speed or radar information collectors; and components or systems used by these vehicles could include sensors, cameras, semi-conductors as well as products like interactive advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), cooperative intelligent transportation systems and connected vehicle data networks. This could also include companies that supply software and systems to develop and test autonomous driving capability. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Smart Transportation as a Service, which means the more efficient delivery of transportation to individuals that is achieved through application-based hailing or sharing of cars, scooters or other vehicles (whether movement is by ground or air). These services generally employ a variety of technologies including global positioning satellite (GPS) technology, connectivity and software applications. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">At all times, the Fund will invest at least 15% of its assets in companies that are in the business of making Smart Transportation products or services. The Adviser considers a company to be “in the business of” making a Smart Transportation product or service if the company has devoted more than 50% of its assets to, or derives more than 50% of its revenue, income or profits from, the design, manufacture, production and/or distribution of a Smart Transportation product or service (including components or parts) as defined above, meaning Safer, Cleaner, or Connected, or Smart Transportation as a Service. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will also invest in Technology companies. The Adviser defines Technology companies as companies that are in the business of developing, advancing and using technology to improve processes, applications or outcomes or create innovations, which could occur through hardware and related components or equipment, or software or services. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">This includes companies that deliver products or services in the following industries: information technology, such as software, services, hardware, semi-conductors and equipment; electronic equipment and instruments; computers or their components, hardware, storage or peripherals; telecommunications equipment or services (voice, data or wireless); internet commerce and information (including networks and connected payment systems); data processing (including management and retention); and imagery (including digitization, mapping and interfacing applications). <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">At all times, the Fund will invest at least 15% of its assets in Technology companies whose products or services are used in transportation. For purposes of this investment minimum, the Adviser considers these companies to be technology companies that: <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Provide technology including products, services, and materials used in the transportation industry to achieve safer, cleaner, or connected transportation, or smart transportation as a service. This includes companies that make hardware (including semi-conductors), software for use in vehicles using at least Level 1 autonomy technology, data companies, sensor manufacturers (radar, lidar, cameras and other technologies), companies that provide software and mapping products or services related to vehicle connectivity or autonomy, battery and alternative fuel manufacturers or suppliers and producers of components and materials (including lithium) used in batteries and alternative fuels; or <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Offer for sale or otherwise distribute Smart Transportation vehicles (autonomous, electric or hybrid); or <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Have demonstrated a commitment to autonomous vehicle development by having obtained certification by at least one government entity related to their autonomous driving research program; or <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Develop transportation as a service applications, including urban air mobility services, and have obtained certification by government entities related to their transportation service program. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, the valuation of the company and its potential for share price appreciation or return. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund may invest in US companies and in companies economically tied to foreign countries, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets, including China. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to a foreign country, see “More About the Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. The Fund’s allocations among countries may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria), and there is no specific allocation of investments to US issuers or non-US issuers. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings or as many as 75 holdings. The Fund is actively managed, meaning the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its own research and evaluation process. In identifying investments that the Fund will buy or sell, the Adviser identifies companies with favorable characteristics from the identifiable universe of companies it has compiled, and performs research and fundamental analysis to understand the company’s business model, valuation and potential for return. In determining whether a company is a Smart Transportation or Technology company, the Adviser considers the company’s public statements about its activities, including regulatory filings (reflecting profits, revenues, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), cash flow and assets), as well as third-party industry assessments of products and services that the company delivers and the role of those products or services in smart transportation or technology. The Adviser monitors potential or actual investments for performance and risk perspectives, as well as to quantify drivers of return and assess company performance versus expectations.<p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. The Fund will invest in companies on a global basis, meaning that it will generally hold both domestic and foreign companies, and may invest in companies in developed markets and emerging markets outside of the United States, including companies economically tied to countries in the Asia Pacific region, including China, South Korea and Japan. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to a foreign country, see “More About the Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation through focused investments in equity securities of companies, wherever located, that are engaged in smart transportation and related technologies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund will also invest in Technology companies, including Technology companies whose products or services are used in transportation. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Smart Transportation companies and Technology companies, each of which is defined below. The Fund is actively managed, meaning the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings. You can lose money investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson Smart Transportation & Technology ETF, and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Autonomous/Electric Vehicle Risk. Autonomous and/or electric vehicles are a relatively new development in transportation markets. They could fail to “catch on” with consumers in a meaningful way and could suffer technical problems, supply or demand shortfalls, or be supplanted by other technologies. Vehicles, applications, hardware, software or services could become obsolete before they are fully embraced or deployed, or may use technologies, systems and software that are unproven, defective, malfunctioning, and are subject to cybersecurity threats; any of these factors could cause them to become obsolete more rapidly than traditional technologies and software. Autonomous and/or electric vehicles may rely on fuel sources that are more sensitive to commodities market activity than traditional vehicle fuels and could be adversely affected by underlying commodity market activity. Some autonomous and/or electric vehicle projects may rely on government subsidies that could be reduced or eliminated. These risks could adversely affect the value of companies in which the Fund invests. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">• Technology Risk. The technologies used by autonomous and electric vehicles and their support systems, such as software, grids, networks, fuel and batteries, may be unproven, susceptible to obsolescence or subject to future regulation in countries or locations of deployment. Technologies may also lack scalability, are subject to competition and rapid changes in technology standards or development, and may be incompatible with future developments. Technologies also involve intellectual property components that are regulated or protected differently in various countries, and which are subject to risk of theft, <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">misappropriation or vandalism. These technologies may also be at increased risk of failure or attack because they are designed to interact with other non-proprietary technologies and applications across one or more external networks. Companies producing technology or software upon which autonomous and/or electric vehicles or networks rely may decide to discontinue support for the technology or software or restrict its deployment into major markets. Software or technology involved in autonomous and/or electric vehicles, networks, grids, infrastructure or services related to autonomous and/or electric vehicles could be adversely affected by network events or outages (local or global). These risks may cause the securities of companies making these products to be worth less than at the time of purchase. This risk applies to the sector as a whole and to individual securities within the sector. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Cybersecurity Risk. Technologies created or deployed for Smart Transportation, including for vehicles or drive systems as well as for networks and intelligent roadways, may be subject to greater cybersecurity risk than other companies. Technology programs and networks may be subject to an increased risk of attack or infiltration and may be more susceptible to “network” attacks or outages and to theft or alteration of data. Some programs may be designed to interact with data about or from customers or products, and data and/or its transmission could become regulated in multiple jurisdictions. A cybersecurity event in a technology or program used by a Smart Transportation network or product could be exacerbated, and companies could be subject to claims for loss or injury in multiple jurisdictions. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Product Risk. Companies creating products and technologies for autonomous or electric transportation, for passenger, commercial or freight usage, face considerable competition. There is no guarantee that companies that successfully create a product will obtain product adoption, or that a product will not become obsolete quickly. Companies in this area may have research and development expenses that are significantly higher than companies in other parts of the transportation sector, which could make their securities less desirable. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Product Regulation Risk. Autonomous vehicles and their networks may be subject to multiple levels of regulation including local regulations and operating restrictions. They could be or become subject to a variety of domestic or foreign regulatory regimes governing “artificial intelligence”, which have not yet been fully developed or adopted. Regulatory changes governing privacy, data collection or storage, transfer or automation could also adversely affect smart transportation products or systems. Limitations on applications for autonomous or electric vehicles could adversely affect the value of companies in which the Fund invests. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">• Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal and regulatory and other risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, and global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities., as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities. Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economy activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">☐ European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union and the UK may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:120pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o Germany. German companies are subject to risks specific to Germany, and companies in Germany may be adversely impacted by events occurring in other parts of the EU, including withdrawal or financial events. Germany’s economy is closely tied to key trading partner relationships with counties inside and outside the EU. Reductions in global consumption of German goods or services, changes in key trading partner economies, or changes in domestic regulation of labor, manufacturing or energy in Germany, could negatively affect Germany’s economy, which could have a negative effect on the Fund’s investments. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">• Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and Taiwan. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. Countries in Asia may be more dependent on global trade relationships; interruptions in global trade could adversely affect securities of companies in Asia. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;margin-top:9.5pt;">o China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Additional Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China.<p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o South Korea Risks. South Korea’s economy is sensitive to changes in international trade, and could be adversely affected if there is a downturn in export markets globally. Substantial political tensions exist between North Korea and South Korea. South Korea’s economy and South Korean companies could be adversely affected by increases in tension between North Korea and South Korea. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The Fund’s NAV could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. For other countries, such as Australia (Australia Dollar), currency volatility is relatively low over longer terms. Some currencies, such as the South Korean Won, trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">• Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than U.S. markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">• Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:12pt;">• Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">• Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US $1 billion), medium cap (under US $5 billion) and large cap (US $10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small-cap and medium-cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">• Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">• Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">• Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. This could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF Shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares. These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to the ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:7pt;margin-top:7pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to ETF Shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. When the spread widens, or when premiums or discounts become larger than usual, particularly in times of market stress, investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the Fund shares when they buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="BL_m_round" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:7pt;margin-top:7pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about each Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:7pt;margin-top:7pt;">• Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;margin-top:7pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:7pt;">the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains, and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:7pt;margin-top:7pt;">• Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:7pt;margin-top:7pt;">• Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although ETF Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the Fund arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">• Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Fund may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

The Fund will not invest in companies that derive the majority of their revenues or profits from fossil fuel extraction or coal. Currently, the Adviser considers portfolio companies’ alignment with four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy; Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; and Goal 13: Climate Action. The Adviser may change these considerations at any time without notice to shareholders. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Fund is actively managed and the Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund may invest in US companies and in companies economically tied to foreign countries, including, potentially, companies domiciled or traded in emerging markets, including China. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to a foreign country, see “More About the Fund’s Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">and Risks” in this Prospectus. The Fund’s allocations among countries may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will normally hold around 30 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time, and under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million. Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">For temporary defensive purposes, any portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions. While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek long-term capital appreciation through focused investment in equity securities of energy companies, wherever located, that are engaged in Sustainable Energy businesses. The Sustainable Energy ETF invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities of sustainable energy companies (both U.S. and non-U.S.). You can lose money by investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson Sustainable Energy ETF, and investing in shares of this Fund may be more risky than investing in a fund that only invests in U.S. securities due to increased volatility of foreign markets. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Industry Risks. Prices of energy, whether traditional or sustainable, may fluctuate or decline due to many factors, including international political or economic developments, real or perceived, demand for energy and sustainable energy, production and distribution policies of OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and other oil-producing countries, energy conservation projects, changes in governmental regulations affecting companies in the energy business or related lines of business, including Sustainable Energy companies, changes in technology affecting Sustainable Energy, and changes in tax regulations relating to energy. Energy prices are also affected by limitations or incentives affecting particular energy sources. A decline in energy prices would likely have a negative effect on securities held by the Fund. The Fund’s focus on sustainable energy businesses exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if the Fund’s assets were diversified among various industries or sectors. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">• Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced a period of extreme stress which has resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:9pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:9pt;">may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:10pt;">• Global Risks. The Fund invests in companies in multiple countries, and companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to safety and security, economic uncertainties, natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is ongoing. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. Covid-19 may continue in the foreseeable future and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. In 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, but also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact a Fund’s ability to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, negatively impact the value and/or liquidity of such instruments, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Investing in Non US Companies. Investing in companies outside the U.S., including in countries in Europe and Asia, involves different and additional political, social, economic, legal and regulatory risks, based on the size of their securities markets, competition for investments, interest rates, global or foreign trade activities (restrictions and tariffs or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs), and changes in the global economy, such as “Brexit”, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (EU), as well as changes due to global or coordinated sanctions activities. Impacts of Brexit are likely to be higher on companies with significant contacts with the United Kingdom, including companies in Europe. Non-US companies, whether in developed or emerging markets, may be more sensitive to these factors, which can increase volatility, reduce liquidity and negatively affect economic growth. The Fund’s ability to access foreign securities markets can be limited, which can affect availability, liquidity and pricing of foreign securities. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Sensitivity to global events. Non US securities may be more sensitive to changes in global economic activity, including interest rates as well as trading activity, including trade restrictions, tariffs, or threats of changes to restrictions or tariffs. These companies may be more sensitive to global economic transitions and stresses, such as Brexit, central bank or government <div class="_idGenObjectStyleOverride-1" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;border-width:0pt;"> <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">interventions (commonly involving interest rates but also stimulus and sanctions). Investing in non-US securities can also expose the Fund to risks associated with the potential imposition of economic or other sanctions against a particular country, or businesses or industries, including trade restrictions or tariffs (or threats thereof). <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o European Securities. The Fund may invest in companies in Europe and the United Kingdom. Companies in countries in the European Union and the UK may be more sensitive to changes as a result of Brexit, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. These changes could include changes in how goods, technology or services are delivered or received between the European Union countries and the United Kingdom. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o Legal, Accounting, Audit and Disclosure may vary. Foreign countries have different legal, accounting, auditing and financial disclosure systems, which may make information about companies more difficult to understand, and less information may be available. Under foreign legal systems, different standards may apply for foreign governments to take over assets, restrict the ability to exchange currency or restrict the delivery of securities. Some foreign companies may be subject to special restrictions in U.S. markets due to non-compliance with U.S. audit inspection standards. <p class="NL_f" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o Securities of Companies in Asia. The Fund may invest in securities of companies in Asia, including China and South Korea. Investments in securities of Chinese companies can be impacted by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, in addition to price volatility, illiquidity and changes in China’s regulatory, monetary and socioeconomic policies, and limitations on access to Chinese issuers. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:144pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Asia Pacific stock markets may experience volatility and instability, and these risks can apply to entire economies, particular sectors and particular securities. Asia Pacific stocks could rise or fall with changes in economic or political circumstances in specific countries, may fall out of favor with investors, and currencies of countries in the Asia Pacific region may decline in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Stocks economically tied to the Asia Pacific region may be more sensitive to economic, political, social or legal changes in countries in the Asia Pacific region, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investments. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:144pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ China. China’s government exercises significant control over its capital markets and currency markets, including its securities markets. China is also an emerging market. The Fund’s investments may be affected by currency and exchange rate fluctuations, price volatility, illiquidity and trading restrictions, which can differ between China’s stock exchanges and stock exchanges that list securities of companies economically tied to China. Changes in the regulatory, monetary or socioeconomic policies in China, and limitations on access to China issuers (including limitations on access through variable interest entities (VIEs)), could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in China. Foreign investors, such as the Fund, may face different risks than domestic investors when investing in companies in China, especially with respect to lack of transparency, fraud, volatility, corporate incentives, macro-economic shocks, national security and changes in US-China policy. China’s policies can also impact securities of companies economically tied to Hong Kong and Taiwan. See “Risks of Investing in our Funds” for specific risks of investing in companies economically tied to China. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-left:144pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ South Korea Risks. South Korea’s economy is sensitive to changes in international trade, and could be adversely affected if there is a downturn in export markets globally. Substantial political tensions exist between North Korea and South Korea. South Korea’s economy and South Korean companies could be adversely affected by increases in tension between North Korea and South Korea. </div> <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Currency and Currency Exchange Risks. The Fund’s currency is US Dollars, while some of its investments are denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currencies may fluctuate against the US Dollar and some foreign currencies are more volatile, especially during times of economic stress, and foreign countries may limit trading or repatriation of currencies. The Fund’s NAV could be affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund may incur costs associated with exchanging dollars into foreign currencies, and vice versa, for investing in foreign securities. The value of Fund shares could decline if the foreign currency of a market in which the Fund invests declines against the US Dollar. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o China Currency Risk. The Fund’s investments in Chinese issuers are subject to risks associated with China’s currency, which is subject to economic objectives of China’s government including devaluation. China has only comparatively recently moved from a pegged currency to a managed float. China’s currency, the Renminbi Yuan, is not completely freely tradable and may not at all times reflect economic fundamentals of China’s economy. The value of the Renminbi Yuan is subject to changes based on the economic objectives of the Chinese government, including devaluation in order to improve the competitiveness of Chinese goods in an effort to improve the Chinese balance of trade. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Other Currency Risk. Currencies of some countries in the Asia Pacific region are subject to greater volatility as compared to the US dollar. Currency volatility is relative and can be periodic. For some countries, their currency may not reflect entirely the fundamental components of a country’s economy. Some currencies, such as South Korea (Won), trade only in local markets and may be more volatile than other currencies. The Fund could pay more if it had to acquire a foreign currency when the amplitude of its volatility is high as measured against the US Dollar. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Foreign Securities Market Risks. Foreign securities markets generally have lower trading volumes than U.S. markets, which means it may be more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell foreign securities. Additionally, trading on foreign securities markets may involve longer settlement periods and higher transaction costs. Some foreign securities markets are closed to trading for extended periods (foreseeable and unplanned), which could make the Fund’s holdings in those markets illiquid or hard to value. Government oversight of foreign stock exchanges and brokerage industries may be less stringent than in the United States. Some foreign securities markets restrict access by non-domestic investors. The Fund’s investments in securities traded on foreign markets could make this Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities traded on US exchanges. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Emerging Markets Risks. The Fund may invest in companies in emerging markets, including China. Emerging market countries may generally have less established economies, smaller capital markets and greater social, economic, regulatory or political risks. These factors could contribute to increased volatility, liquidity risks and valuation risks. These risks apply to direct holdings in foreign companies and to holdings in depository receipts for foreign companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Expropriation Risk. Investments in foreign countries are subject to expropriation risk, and the risk that foreign governments act to limit investment in foreign securities, through exchange controls, currency restrictions and taxation. There can be limits on the Fund’s ability to pursue and collect a legal judgment against a foreign government if an expropriation event occurs. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">☐ Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US$1 billion), medium cap (under US$5 billion) and large cap (US$10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small-cap and medium-cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with the Fund’s own shares. Securities in which the Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. The Fund may be more sensitive to this risk because it invests in non-US securities. Some of the foreign markets in which the Fund invests may be closed for national holidays or other reasons, which may cause some holdings to be illiquid. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause the Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of its underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;list-style-type:disc;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:72pt;margin-top:10pt;">• Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV due to foreign holdings. The Fund will hold shares of non-U.S. securities traded in local markets that close at a different time than the NYSE Arca. During the time when the NYSE Arca is open but after the applicable local market has closed, the price of a foreign security that is held by the Fund and included in the Fund’s NAV will be the most recent closing price in that security’s local market, updated for currency changes, until that local market opens again. In that case, the prices used in calculating the Fund’s NAV may be based on closing prices of securities traded in non-U.S. markets that have not been updated, except for currency changes. When all or a portion of the Fund’s portfolio consists of securities traded in a market that is closed when the market for the Fund’s shares is open, there could be differences between the value of ETF shares and the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio. This could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF Shares and the underlying value of the Fund shares. These differences can be magnified during times of significant market activity and could contribute to the ETF Shares trading at a premium or discount.<p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:96pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to ETF Shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. When the spread widens, or when premiums or discounts become larger than usual, particularly in times of market stress, investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the Fund shares when they buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. For some portfolio holdings traded in specific foreign markets that do not permit in-kind transfers, the Fund will need to sell securities and deliver cash to redeeming Authorized Participants. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although ETF Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of the ETF Shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF Shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Fund may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, shares may trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could be heightened because the Fund will invest in non-U.S. securities, which may be traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In such a case, Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral for some trades on an agency basis (that is, on behalf of other market <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">participants), which only a limited number of Authorized Participants may be willing to do. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, fees related to services for reclamation or collection of foreign taxes withheld, interest, taxes, dividends on short positions, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses to 0.35% through June 30, 2027.

The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. This Example does not include brokerage commissions that you may pay to buy and sell shares.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Guinness Atkinson US Dividend Builder ETF shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has no operating history and therefore has no portfolio turnover information. Principal Investment Strategies <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Guinness Atkinson US Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities issued by dividend-paying companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). Equity Securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Adviser uses fundamental analysis to assess a company’s ability to maintain consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth. One key measure of a company’s ability to achieve consistent, real dividend growth is its consistency in generating returns on capital, which is a measure of income produced by a company when compared to capital invested in the company’s operations. In the Adviser’s view, “dividend builder” refers to a dividend-paying company which the Adviser believes will experience increasing dividends over time. The Adviser seeks to invest in companies that have returned a real cash flow (cash flow adjusted for inflation) on investment of at least 10% for each of the last 10 years and, in the opinion of the Adviser, are likely to grow their dividend over time; however, this is one of several criteria used by the Adviser and it is possible that not all investments may meet this criterion. The Fund will not change this strategy unless it gives shareholders at least 60 days’ notice. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is actively managed, meaning that the Adviser will select the Fund’s holdings based on its judgment and analysis of a company’s activities. In determining whether to buy or sell a portfolio position, the Adviser uses proprietary and independent research and applies traditional fundamental analysis to assess a company’s business and business prospects, market capitalization, the valuation of the company, its dividend history, its ratio of debt to equity and its potential for share price appreciation or return and for consistent, real (after inflation) dividend growth while maintaining company value. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Typically, the Fund will hold around 30-35 positions of approximately equal weight, but the portfolio may vary over time. Under normal market conditions, the Fund may have as few as 25 holdings, or may hold securities in 75 or more companies. The Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization size. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund will invest in domestic companies, meaning that it will primarily hold companies economically tied to the United States. The Fund’s allocations may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus.

While the Fund is applying this temporary defensive strategy, it may be unable to achieve its investment objective. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">The Fund is designed for investors who seek a moderate level of current income and investments in dividend paying companies that have the ability to increase their dividends consistently over time. <p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">Additional information on Principal Investment Strategies can be found in the prospectus. Also see Additional Investment Strategies and Risks in the Statement of Additional Information. The Guinness Atkinson US Dividend Builder ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in publicly-traded equity securities issued by dividend-paying companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to consistently increase their dividend payments over the medium term (three to five years). You can lose money by investing in shares of Guinness Atkinson US Dividend Builder ETF. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities that pay dividends. There is no guarantee that the securities held by the Fund will declare or pay dividends in the future, or that dividends will remain at current levels or increase. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ U.S. Securities Risk. The Fund invests in securities of issuers economically tied to the U.S. This means the Fund’s investments are subject to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security and economic risks that are specific to the U.S., including changes in the U.S. economy, interest rates, taxes or tariffs, or changes in U.S. financial markets including their integration into the global interconnected markets. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Equity Securities Risk. The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions, and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Market Risk. General market conditions can affect the value of the Fund’s securities holdings. Market risk applies to individual securities, a particular sector or the entire economy. Recently, global financial markets have experienced periods of extreme stress (sometimes related to specific events) which resulted in unusual and extreme volatility in the equity markets and in the prices of individual securities. In some cases, the prices of securities issued by individual companies have been negatively impacted even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial conditions or prospects of that company. Although the Fund invests in U.S. securities, global events, financial market shocks or interest rate events could cause equity securities generally to decline in value, including if fixed income securities become more favorable. These market conditions add significantly to the risk of short-term volatility of the Fund. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Global Risks. The Fund invests primarily in companies in the U.S. or economically tied to the U.S. Companies economically tied to countries outside the U.S. and U.S. companies that have exposure to non-U.S. companies, may face global risks. The Fund may invest in or be exposed to companies that are exposed to more global risks. Economies and financial markets globally are increasingly interconnected, which means that events or conditions in one locale can affect markets or companies in other countries or regions. Companies in which the Fund invests may experience differing outcomes with respect to inflation or deflation, interest rates, safety and security, economic uncertainties (including taxes, tariffs and import/export controls), natural and environmental conditions, health conditions (including pandemics such as Covid-19) and/or systemic market dislocations (including market dislocations due to events outside a company’s country or region, including supply chain events, sanctions or embargoes). The global interconnectivity of industries and companies, especially with respect to goods, can be negatively impacted by events occurring beyond a company’s principal geographic location. These events can contribute to volatility, valuation and liquidity issues, and can affect specific companies, countries, regions and global markets. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Pandemic Risk. In 2020, markets globally were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic adversely affected industries, including supply chains, as well as general financial conditions, and has resulted in restrictions on commercial activity (shutdowns), interruptions in labor and supply markets, economic stimulus packages and other governmental interventions, and reallocation of market resources. Total economic effects of Covid-19 cannot be predicted. The continued impact of Covid-19 and related variants or viruses is uncertain and could adversely affect companies in the Fund’s portfolio, including by affecting their operating capabilities or their willingness or ability to pay dividends, which could negatively impact stock prices as well as yield.<p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Capital Controls and Sanctions Risk. Beginning in 2022, a number of countries imposed capital controls and economic and other sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The range of sanctions (direct and secondary) and their impact continues to evolve but has included asset seizures, restrictions on the transfer or exchange of currency, restrictions on asset transfers, exclusions from international banking systems, export limitations and limitations on listing shares of companies that are economically tied to Russia and Belarus, including depositary receipts on shares of affected companies. Sanctions programs have been imposed by individual countries, and also on a coordinated basis. The duration of sanctions programs and capital controls in response to the invasion of Ukraine cannot be predicted with any certainty. Capital controls and/or sanctions could adversely impact companies in the Fund’s portfolio, which could adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares, and otherwise cause the Fund to decline in value. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">☐ Management Risk. The Fund’s strategy may not achieve its investment objective; the portfolio managers’ qualitative judgments about portfolio companies or their securities may be incorrect or the Adviser might not properly implement the strategy. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">☐ Capitalization Risk. The Fund invests in companies with a range of capitalizations, including small cap (under US $1 billion), medium cap (under US $5 billion) and large cap (US $10 billion or more). Small cap and medium cap companies may be more susceptible to financial downturns, have limited product lines, may be illiquid or experience volatility and may have limited financial resources. Large cap companies may have frequent price changes based on general economic conditions and may be adversely affected by declines among lines of business, and may be less agile in responding to market and product challenges. Investing in small cap and medium cap companies may make the Fund more risky than a fund that only invests in securities of larger capitalization companies. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">☐ Liquidity Risk. The Funds invest in securities, which may become illiquid, and there is liquidity risk associated with a Fund’s own shares. Securities in which a Fund invests could become illiquid, which means that the securities cannot be sold within seven days under current market conditions without significantly affecting the price at which the investment is carried on the Fund’s books. Investments that become illiquid may be more difficult to value. Illiquidity in portfolio securities could cause a Fund’s shares to trade at a premium or discount. The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program to manage liquidity risk of each Fund’s underlying portfolio. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">☐ Fund Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risk applies to the Fund, its service providers and the companies in which the Fund invests. Cybersecurity risk includes breaches, intentional or unintended, that may impact a company’s ability to operate, and could include data corruption, theft or loss, improper access to proprietary information, or interference with technology operations. Companies could suffer losses due to cybersecurity events, including fines, penalties, reputational injuries, as well as financial losses and legal and compliance expenses. Cybersecurity risks of the Fund include risks applicable to the Fund’s service providers. While the Fund and its service providers have established cybersecurity defenses, there is no guarantee that these defenses will be effective. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:8pt;margin-top:8pt;">☐ Shares May Trade At Prices Other Than NAV. “ETF Shares” are the Fund’s individual exchange-traded shares, which are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca. Shares are bought and sold in the secondary market at a market price. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per day, at the end of the day. The market price of a Share on the exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount). <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:9pt;margin-top:9pt;">o Market Price could vary from NAV. The market price of an ETF Share on the exchange can change throughout the day and may differ from the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated only once per day, at the end of the day.<p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Costs of buying, selling or holding Fund Shares. Purchases and sales of ETF Shares on the exchange through a broker may incur a brokerage charge or commission, frequently a fixed amount; this may be a significant proportional cost for investors transacting in small numbers of shares. The difference between the price investors are willing to pay for ETF Shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which investors are willing to sell ETF Shares (the “ask” price) is called the “spread.” The spread with respect to ETF shares varies over time based on the Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower (or “narrower”) if the Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher (or “wider”) if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. When the spread widens, or when premiums or discounts become larger than usual, particularly in times of market stress, investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the Fund’s NAV when they buy or sell ETF Shares in the secondary market. Because of the costs of buying and selling shares of the Fund, frequent trading may reduce investment returns. You could lose money if you sell your shares at a point when the market price is below the Fund’s NAV. <p class="NL_m" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-left:84pt;margin-top:10pt;">o Information about the Fund’s spread. The Fund’s website will contain information about each Fund’s per share NAV, closing market price, premiums and discounts, and the median bid/ask spread. If a Fund’s premium or discount exceeds 2% for more than 7 consecutive trading days, the website will also disclose the factors that the investment adviser reasonably believes materially contribute to this trading premium or discount. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities if it is required to pay cash in redemption of Creation Units to Authorized Participants. Generally, the Fund will effectuate redemptions in kind. There is a risk that the Fund could lose money if it had to sell its securities in times of overall market turmoil or when the Fund’s portfolio securities have declined in value, or if the securities become illiquid. Selling securities could generate capital gains and cause the Fund to incur brokerage expenses, and could result in tax consequences. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Redemption Risk. ETF Shares are not individually redeemable. The Fund only redeems ETF Shares in Creation Units, which are large blocks of shares, from Authorized Participants. If you want to liquidate some or all of your investment in shares of the Fund, you would have to sell them on the secondary market at prevailing market prices, which may be lower than NAV. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Absence of Active Trading Market Risk. Although Fund Shares will be listed on the NYSE Arca exchange, there is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund Shares will exist at all times. In times of market stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF Shares, and market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process (that is, arbitrage will be less effective at keeping the market price of the ETF Shares aligned closely with the value of its underlying portfolio). Trading in ETF Shares on the NYSE Arca exchange may be halted if individual or market-wide “circuit breakers” are activated (circuit breakers halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a pre-determined percentage). Trading of ETF shares also could be halted if (1) the shares are delisted from the NYSE Arca exchange without first being listed on another exchange or (2) NYSE Arca exchange officials determine that halting is appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. Any absence of an active trading market for ETF shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of an ETF Share and the underlying value of the ETF Share. <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-type:none;margin-top:10pt;">☐ Authorized Participant Risk. Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant agreement with the Funds may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants decide not to create or redeem shares, ETF Shares may trade at a premium or <p class="BL_m_Square" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Times New Roman PS Std, serif;font-size:11pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;list-style-position:outside;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:48pt;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-24pt;widows:3;list-style-position:inside;list-style-type:none;text-indent:0;margin-top:10pt;">discount to the Fund’s net asset value. This risk could also be heightened because the Fund uses a focused investment strategy. If Authorized Participants do not proceed with creation and redemption orders for shares, the Fund’s share price could trade at a discount to NAV and could face trading halts or de-listing.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, fees related to services for reclamation or collection of foreign taxes withheld, interest, taxes, dividends on short positions, investment-related costs and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses to 1.10% through June 30, 2029. To the extent that the Adviser absorbs expenses to satisfy this cap, it may recoup a portion or all of such amounts absorbed at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were absorbed, subject to the expense cap in place at the time recoupment is sought, which cannot exceed the expense cap at the time of the waiver. The expense limitation agreement may be terminated by the Board of the Fund at any time without penalty upon 60 days’ notice.
