Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]

Remember that in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose money by investing in the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund. The following summarizes the principal risks of investing in the Fund. These risks affect the Fund directly as well as through the Underlying ETFs in which it invests.

 

Active Management Risk. The Adviser’s judgments about the growth, value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

 

Alternative and Specialty Assets RiskThe Fund may purchase ETFs that invest in “alternative asset” or “specialty” market segments. The risks and volatility of these investments are linked to narrow segments of the economy such as commodities, real estate, or currencies.

 

Carbon Cap Risk. The government regulatory system known as “carbon cap and trade” is designed to reduce pollution by capping the total amount of pollutants or greenhouse gases emissions and allowing companies to trade emissions credits. There is no assurance that such carbon cap and trade regimes will continue to exist. Carbon caps were designed to put a cap on pollution by putting a price on carbon emissions, but the approach may not prove to be an effective method of reduction in emissions and/or in achieving climate change objectives. As a result or due to other factors, carbon caps may be terminated or may not be renewed upon their expiration. New technologies may arise that may diminish or eliminate the need for carbon caps markets. Ultimately, the cost of emissions credits is determined by the cost of actually reducing emissions levels. If the price of carbon caps credits becomes too high, it will be more economical for companies to develop or invest in green technologies, thereby suppressing the demand for credits and adversely affect the Fund. Regulatory risk related to changes in regulation and enforcement of carbon caps regimes could adversely affect market behavior. In addition, as and carbon credit markets develop, new regulation with respect to these markets may arise, which could have a negative effect on the value and liquidity of the cap and trade markets and the Fund.

 

Commodity RiskInvesting in the commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

Credit Risk. Debt issuers and other counterparties may be unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments when due or otherwise honor their obligations. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of an Underlying ETF’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on an issuer’s or counterparty’s financial condition and on the terms of an obligation.

 

Cryptocurrency Risk. Cryptocurrencies operate without central authority or banks and are not backed by any government. They are often referred to as “virtual currency” or “digital currency,” and function as decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchanges and value storage that are used like money. Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender. Federal, state, or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrencies, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers, or malware. Investment vehicles with exposure to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin may be affected by the high volatility associated with such cryptocurrency exposure. Holdings in investment vehicles that hold cryptocurrency assets are subject to applicable limitations of regulatory regimes, which are subject to change. The investment vehicles through which exposure to cryptocurrencies is obtained may not be registered investment companies, and therefore, investors may not, as shareholders of such investment vehicles, receive the protections afforded to shareholders of an investment company under the 1940 Act in connection with their investment in such investment vehicles.

 

Currency Risk (Domestic and Foreign): The risk that material changes in currency exchange rates will negatively affect securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign and domestic currencies. Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade issuer may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

 

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on, and valued in relation to, one or more asset class, financial benchmarks, indices, or other reference obligations or measures of value. Major types of derivatives include futures, options, swaps and forward contracts. Depending on how an Underlying Alternative Asset ETF uses derivatives and the relationship between the market value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, the use of derivatives could increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to the risks of the underlying instrument. Using derivatives exposes the Fund to additional or heightened risks, including leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Derivatives transactions can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value, they can increase Fund volatility, and changes in the value of a derivative held by an Underlying Alternative Asset ETF may not correlate with the value of the underlying instrument or the Fund’s other investments. Many of the risks applicable to trading the instruments underlying derivatives are also applicable to derivatives trading. However, derivatives are subject to additional risks such as operational risk (such as documentation issues and settlement issues) and legal risk (such as insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, and issues with the legality or enforceability of a contract). For derivatives that are required to be cleared by a regulated clearinghouse, other risks may arise from the Fund’s relationship with a brokerage firm through which it submits derivatives trades for clearing, including in some cases from other clearing customers of the brokerage firm. An Underlying Alternative Asset ETF would also be exposed to counterparty risk with respect to the clearinghouse. Financial reform laws have changed many aspects of financial regulation applicable to derivatives. Once implemented, new regulations, including margin, clearing, and trade execution requirements, may make investment in derivatives more costly, may limit their availability, may present different risks or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of these instruments. The extent and impact of these regulations are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Not Individually Redeemable. Shares are not individually redeemable to retail investors and may be redeemed only by the ETF only to Authorized Participants at NAV in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” An Authorized Participant may incur brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.

 

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

 

Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security.

 

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

 

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

 

When all or a portion of an ETFs underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market for the Shares is open, there may be changes from the last quote of the closed market and the quote from an ETF’s domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the market value of the Shares and an ETF’s NAV.

 

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

 

Fixed-Income Risk. The value of Underlying ETFs will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Underlying ETF. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Underlying ETF later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the Underlying ETF (and the value of the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund’s investment in Underlying ETF, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments. Recently, interest rates have been to rise from historically low levels. A continuing rise in interest rates could result in a decline in the value of the bond investments held by an Underlying ETF. As a result, for the present, interest rate risk may be heightened.

 

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards.

 

Fund of Funds Risk. The Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund pursues its investment objective by investing its assets in the Underlying ETFs rather than investing directly in stocks, bonds, cash or other investments. The Fund’s investment performance depends on the investment performance of the Underlying ETFs in which it invests. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying ETFs that comprise the Underlying Index.

 

Futures Risk. The Underlying Fund’s use of futures involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) leverage risk (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Investments in futures involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Underlying Funds. This risk could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Futures contracts may become mispriced or improperly valued when compared to the adviser’s expectation and may not produce the desired investment results. Additionally, changes in the value of futures contracts may not track or correlate perfectly with the underlying index because of temporary, or even long-term, supply and demand imbalances and because futures do not pay dividends unlike the stocks upon which they are based.

 

Gold and Precious Metals Risk.: The price of gold and other precious metals (collectively “Precious Metals”) may be volatile, and Precious Metal-related Exchange Traded Products (“ETPs”), including related Precious Metal-exchange traded funds, and derivatives may be highly sensitive to the price of Precious Metals. The price of Precious Metals can be significantly affected by international monetary and political developments such as currency devaluation or revaluation, central bank movements, economic and social conditions within a country, transactional or trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between countries. Physical Precious Metal has sales commission, storage, insurance and auditing expenses.

 

High Yield or Junk Bond Risk: Lower-quality bonds and other debt securities, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, are considered speculative and present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price.

 

Income Risk. An Underlying ETF’s income may decline if interest rates fall. This decline in income can occur because the Underlying ETF may subsequently invest in lower yielding bonds as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, bonds in an index are substituted, or the Underlying ETF otherwise needs to purchase additional bonds.

 

Interest Rate Risk. An increase in interest rates may cause a fall in the value of the fixed income securities in which an Underlying ETF may invest. Declines in value are greater for fixed income securities, as well as funds, with longer maturities or durations. Duration measures the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. This measure incorporates a security’s coupon, maturity, and call features, among other factors.

 

Investing in Underlying ETFs Risk. Underlying ETFs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. Underlying ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark. Underlying ETFs are also subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying ETFs and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. The Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund may also be subject to certain other risks specific to each Underlying ETF.

 

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk. Investing in REITs, involves certain unique risks in addition to those associated with the real estate sector generally. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to Fund expenses.

 

Limited History of Operations Risk. The Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund is a new ETF with a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.

 

Market Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different region or financial market. Securities in the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, tariffs, trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on the U.S. financial market. The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on the U.S. financial market. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk: A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which may reduce the Fund’s return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase the Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as the Fund shareholder. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is expected to be above 100% annually.

 

Tax Risk. To qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), the Fund must meet certain requirements concerning the source of its income. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide exposure to certain Underlying Alternative Asset ETFs that generate “non-qualifying” income in a manner that is consistent with the “qualifying income” requirement applicable to RICs. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ceased issuing private letter rulings regarding whether the use of subsidiaries by investment companies to invest in certain instruments constitutes qualifying income. If the IRS determines that this source of income is not “qualifying income,” the Fund may cease to qualify as a RIC because the Fund has not received a private letter ruling and is not able to rely on private letter rulings issued to other taxpayers. Failure to qualify as a RIC could subject the Fund to adverse tax consequences, including a federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates, as well as a tax to shareholders on such income when distributed as an ordinary dividend.

 

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk. The Subsidiary will not be registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, Cayman Islands law does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands governmental authority taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. By investing in certain Underlying Alternative Asset ETFs indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund will obtain exposure to certain alternative assets within the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income received from its investments will be passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains.

Futures Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Futures Risk. The Underlying Fund’s use of futures involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) leverage risk (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Investments in futures involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Underlying Funds. This risk could cause the Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. Futures contracts may become mispriced or improperly valued when compared to the adviser’s expectation and may not produce the desired investment results. Additionally, changes in the value of futures contracts may not track or correlate perfectly with the underlying index because of temporary, or even long-term, supply and demand imbalances and because futures do not pay dividends unlike the stocks upon which they are based.
Gold and Precious Metals Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]
Gold and Precious Metals Risk.: The price of gold and other precious metals (collectively “Precious Metals”) may be volatile, and Precious Metal-related Exchange Traded Products (“ETPs”), including related Precious Metal-exchange traded funds, and derivatives may be highly sensitive to the price of Precious Metals. The price of Precious Metals can be significantly affected by international monetary and political developments such as currency devaluation or revaluation, central bank movements, economic and social conditions within a country, transactional or trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between countries. Physical Precious Metal has sales commission, storage, insurance and auditing expenses.

 

High Yield or Junk Bond Risk [Member]

Risk [Text Block]
High Yield or Junk Bond Risk: Lower-quality bonds and other debt securities, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, are considered speculative and present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price.

 

Income Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Income Risk. An Underlying ETF’s income may decline if interest rates fall. This decline in income can occur because the Underlying ETF may subsequently invest in lower yielding bonds as bonds in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, bonds in an index are substituted, or the Underlying ETF otherwise needs to purchase additional bonds.

 

Interest Rate Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Interest Rate Risk. An increase in interest rates may cause a fall in the value of the fixed income securities in which an Underlying ETF may invest. Declines in value are greater for fixed income securities, as well as funds, with longer maturities or durations. Duration measures the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. This measure incorporates a security’s coupon, maturity, and call features, among other factors.

 

Investing in Underlying ETFs Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Investing in Underlying ETFs Risk. Underlying ETFs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. Underlying ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark. Underlying ETFs are also subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund. As a result, the cost of investing in the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the Underlying ETFs and may be higher than other funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. The Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund may also be subject to certain other risks specific to each Underlying ETF.

 

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk. Investing in REITs, involves certain unique risks in addition to those associated with the real estate sector generally. REITs whose underlying properties are concentrated in a particular industry or region are also subject to risks affecting such industries and regions. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to Fund expenses.

 

Limited History of Operations Risk [Member]

Limited History of Operations Risk. The Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund is a new ETF with a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.

 

Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Market Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different region or financial market. Securities in the Tactical Alternatives Risk Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, tariffs, trade wars, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on the U.S. financial market. The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on the U.S. financial market. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.
Portfolio Turnover Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Portfolio Turnover Risk: A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover which may reduce the Fund’s return, unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase the Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as the Fund shareholder. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate is expected to be above 100% annually.

 

Tax Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Tax Risk. To qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”), the Fund must meet certain requirements concerning the source of its income. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide exposure to certain Underlying Alternative Asset ETFs that generate “non-qualifying” income in a manner that is consistent with the “qualifying income” requirement applicable to RICs. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has ceased issuing private letter rulings regarding whether the use of subsidiaries by investment companies to invest in certain instruments constitutes qualifying income. If the IRS determines that this source of income is not “qualifying income,” the Fund may cease to qualify as a RIC because the Fund has not received a private letter ruling and is not able to rely on private letter rulings issued to other taxpayers. Failure to qualify as a RIC could subject the Fund to adverse tax consequences, including a federal income tax on its net income at regular corporate rates, as well as a tax to shareholders on such income when distributed as an ordinary dividend.

 

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block]
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk. The Subsidiary will not be registered under the 1940 Act and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which the Fund and the Subsidiary, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, Cayman Islands law does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax, estate duty, inheritance tax, gift tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands governmental authority taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns. By investing in certain Underlying Alternative Asset ETFs indirectly through the Subsidiary, the Fund will obtain exposure to certain alternative assets within the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. However, because the Subsidiary is a controlled foreign corporation, any income received from its investments will be passed through to the Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains.
