Overview

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, in a portfolio of equity securities based on the BITA AI Thermal, Cooling & Power Management Global Index (the “Index”). The Index includes global publicly listed companies that generate significant revenue from the advanced cooling, power delivery, and thermal management systems required to operate high-density artificial intelligence (“AI”) data centers (“AI power and thermal companies”). AI power and thermal companies focus on providing the critical physical infrastructure needed to sustain energy-intensive machine learning workloads without overheating or power interruptions, spanning sectors like grid interconnection, backup power generation, rack-level distribution and advanced liquid or immersion cooling.

AI power and thermal companies are primarily focused on products designed for and critical to high density AI data centers which require specialized power- and heat-reduction equipment unique to AI data center applications. AI power and thermal companies are distinguishable from conventional cooling and power products companies whose products are designed for general computing, consumer electronics or enterprise IT equipment purposes. The Index’s thematic focus on high density AI data centers and its thematic-related revenue constituent eligibility requirements (as described below) are designed to isolate and differentiate AI power and thermal companies from those offering conventional, general purpose cooling and power products.

The Fund will not replicate the Index, as the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, Vega Capital Partners, LLC (“Vega” or the “Sub-Adviser”), exercises investment discretion in constructing the Fund’s investment portfolio. For example, Vega: (i) determines whether, in its judgement, it is more favorable to the Fund for it to invest directly or synthetically in each security in the Index; (ii) reallocates the Fund’s portfolio holdings more frequently than the Index is rebalanced, when Vega believes doing so is in the Fund’s interest; and (iii) to the extent required for the Fund’s portfolio to comply with relevant regulatory requirements, invests in securities not currently included in the Index. In addition, the Fund will maintain an allocation to cash and/or U.S. Treasuries.

While the Index’s methodology serves as the primary basis for the Fund’s portfolio construction and the identification of AI power and thermal companies, the Sub-Adviser will actively manage the Fund and may select for investment companies that it independently determines fall within the category of AI power and thermal companies. The Sub-Adviser may buy or sell securities not yet included in, or not yet removed from, as the case may be, the Index prior to the Index’s rebalancing and reconstitution. Generally, the Sub-Adviser will use the Index’s criteria to guide its decisions. If the Sub-Adviser receives new information about an existing portfolio security or an emerging AI power and thermal company after the Index’s last rebalancing and reconstitution, it has the discretion to trade those securities before the next Index rebalancing and reconstitution. For example, the Sub-Adviser may identify negative issues with a company’s outlook or potential opportunities to add new holdings. To further the example, the Fund may sell portfolio holdings of a company that has experienced a negative change in business circumstances (as described in the following paragraph) or invest in a company that is entering into the AI thermal, cooling and power management ecosystem. Accordingly, there may be times when the Fund’s holdings and performance deviate significantly from those of the Index.

In constructing the Fund’s portfolio, the Sub-Adviser uses the Index’s components and weighting as a baseline or starting point, then utilizes both quantitative and fundamental analysis to evaluate the following factors when assessing the purchase or sale of portfolio holdings: (i) revenue exposure to AI thermal, cooling and power related activities, products and services; (ii) earnings growth potential; (iii) free cash flow generation; (iv) competitive positioning; (v) valuation metrics; (vi) capital expenditure trends; and (vii) adoption and monetization opportunities within AI thermal, cooling and power related market sectors. Portfolio weightings may be adjusted based on revenue growth trends, valuation opportunities, cycle positioning, earnings revisions, or market conditions. Portfolio positions may be reduced or eliminated when the Sub-Adviser determines a negative change in business circumstances has occurred, such as, for example, if the Sub-Adviser determines valuations become excessive, a company’s fundamental outlook deteriorates, its competitive position weakens, its revenue growth slows materially, or better risk/reward opportunities emerge elsewhere in the AI power and thermal companies ecosystem.

The Fund may invest a portion of the portfolio in the equity securities of private, non-listed companies not represented in the Index that the Sub-Adviser identifies as having characteristics of AI power and thermal companies, or substantially similar attributes. In selecting securities of such private companies, the Sub-Adviser may look for companies with businesses that are similar to companies represented in the Index, but which are late-stage private companies nearing, or preparing for, an IPO. However, the Sub-Adviser may also select similar companies that are in earlier stages of development for inclusion in the Fund’s investment portfolio.

Fund Attributes

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in AI power and thermal companies and/or financial instruments (such as options or swaps) that provide indirect exposure to AI power and thermal companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies that are not included in the 80% test noted above. These investments can include equity securities and depositary receipts of issuers that are not Index constituents but that the Sub-Adviser would characterize as emerging AI power and thermal companies, based on the Sub-Adviser’s analysis of publicly available business plans and as may be further evidenced by capital expenditures, research and development efforts and business acquisitions. This 20% of the Fund’s portfolio may also be invested in cash or cash equivalents (including money market funds).

The Fund may invest in small-, medium-, and large-capitalization companies. The Fund will invest in foreign securities, including directly in securities listed on global exchanges (ordinary shares) and indirectly through ADRs. The Fund may invest in foreign securities that are located in developed and emerging markets. The Fund determines a country’s or market’s classification as a developed or emerging market based on its MSCI designation.

To the extent the Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund is expected to be concentrated in that industry. As of the date of this Prospectus, issuers within the technology hardware, storage and peripherals industry represented a significant portion of the Index.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s strategy is expected to result in a moderate to high rate of portfolio turnover.

Direct/Synthetic Investments

The Fund will invest in the equity securities either directly or indirectly (synthetically) using options and swaps (as described below). The Fund will generally invest indirectly to satisfy applicable tax requirements for regulated investment companies.

The Fund may utilize listed options to achieve synthetic exposure to the Fund’s portfolio securities. The Fund primarily employs short-dated (a month or less) in-the-money call options (options with strike prices below the current market price of the underlying securities, offering immediate intrinsic value). These options allow the Fund to synthetically replicate the performance of underlying securities without direct ownership. The Fund may also utilize other option strategies to achieve similar synthetic exposure, including purchasing call options and selling put options with identical strike prices. These derivatives strategies enable the Fund to respond flexibly to market conditions, liquidity constraints, or other factors that may affect the availability or pricing of swap agreement. For additional details about the Fund’s use of operations, please refer to the section of the Prospectus entitled “Additional Information About the Fund.”

In addition to options, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with financial institutions. These swap agreements are designed to synthetically replicate the performance of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. The agreements will have specified durations, which will typically coincide with the Index’s reconstitution periods, but may range from one day to more than a year. Through each swap agreement, the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) based on the performance of a particular security’s share price. The gross return (meaning the return before deducting any fees or expenses) to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties is calculated with respect to a “notional amount” – a predetermined dollar value representing the underlying security that the Fund seeks to replicate synthetically.

Collateral

In addition, the Fund will hold cash and/or short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral for the Fund’s derivatives transactions.

The BITA AI Thermal, Cooling & Power Management Global Index

Index Overview

The Index is constructed by BITA GbmH (the “Index Provider”) using a rules-based methodology that tracks the market performance of global publicly listed companies that derive their revenues from the advanced cooling, power delivery, and thermal management systems required to operate high-density AI data centers. The Index focuses on companies that supply the specialized hardware, cooling systems, and energy management solutions necessary to support ultra-dense AI compute workloads. The Index’s initial universe consists of global publicly listed equity securities from companies involved in:

Each of the thematic eligibility categories above are designed by the Index Provider to isolate and identify companies defined by their principal roles in distinct categories comprising the larger AI data center and accelerated computing ecosystems, and to filter out conventional, general purpose computing companies. For more information, about the types of companies that the Index tracks, see “Additional Information About the Funds” below.

The Index’s initial universe is determined by applying, among others, the following criteria:

The Index aims to have between 8 and 50 securities, although as noted above, the Fund’s number and composition of portfolio holdings, and its performance, may deviate from that of the Index.

To seek a balanced representation and prevent excessive concentration, the initial weights of all Index constituents are subject to limits: no issuer’s weight can be below 0.1% or exceed 15% of the total index weight. During weight calculations, adjustments are made to ensure all constituents meet the minimum weight requirement. If a security’s weight is below 0.1%, it is increased to meet this floor. Following this adjustment, weights are capped at 15%. Any excess weight from capped constituents is redistributed proportionately among the rest of the uncapped constituents.

The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly (reconstitution means the Index is updated with new eligible companies based on current data; rebalancing means the weights of the companies in the Index are adjusted). In addition, the Index Provider may determine to substitute an Index constituent or make an extraordinary adjustment to the Index if it determines an extraordinary event has occurred. The determination date for regular adjustments (each, a “Selection Day”) occurs after market close on the first Friday of the rebalancing month. On each Selection Day, Index constituents are weighted according to their free-floating market capitalization. However, the Sub-Adviser has the discretion to adjust the Fund’s portfolio between reconstitutions.

The Index is owned, calculated, administered, and disseminated by the Index Provider. The Index Provider is not affiliated with the Fund, the Adviser, or the Sub-Adviser.

Overview

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, in a portfolio of equity securities based on the BITA AI Rack Hardware Global Index (the “Index”).

The Index includes global publicly listed securities that generate significant revenue from the artificial intelligence (“AI”) hardware ecosystem, including specialized processors, high-density servers, and critical interconnect technologies (“AI compute companies”). AI compute companies focus on building the foundational compute infrastructure required to power intensive AI training and deployment workloads, spanning sectors like AI accelerators, custom silicon, compute-focused server systems, and edge AI hardware.
