| 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 Advisers 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 Funds 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 Risk: The 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
Risk: Investing 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 issuers credit rating or the markets perception of an issuers
creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of an Underlying ETFs investment
in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on an issuers or counterpartys
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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 ETFs NAV. |
| ■ | The
market price of the Shares may deviate from an ETFs NAV, particularly during times
of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly
less for Shares than an ETFs 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 ETFs domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between
the market value of the Shares and an ETFs NAV. |
| ■ | In
stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response
to the deteriorating liquidity of an ETFs 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 ETFs 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
Funds investment in Underlying ETF, possibly causing the Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 advisers
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 Funds ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these
bonds could decrease the Funds share price. |
| ● | Income
Risk. An Underlying ETFs 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 securitys price to changes in interest rates. This measure incorporates
a securitys 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 Funds 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 Funds return, unless the securities
traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities
may also increase the Funds realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the
taxes you pay as the Fund shareholder. The Funds 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 Funds 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. |

| ● | Active
Management Risk. The Advisers 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 Funds 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. |

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

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. |

Risk: Investing 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. |

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 issuers credit rating or the markets perception of an issuers
creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of an Underlying ETFs investment
in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on an issuers or counterpartys
financial condition and on the terms of an obligation. |

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. |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | 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 [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds 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. |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | 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. |

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

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

| ○ | 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

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 ETFs NAV. |
| ■ | The
market price of the Shares may deviate from an ETFs NAV, particularly during times
of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly
less for Shares than an ETFs 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 ETFs domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between
the market value of the Shares and an ETFs NAV. |
| ■ | In
stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response
to the deteriorating liquidity of an ETFs 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 ETFs NAV. |

| Fixed-Income Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | 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
Funds investment in Underlying ETF, possibly causing the Funds 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 Funds 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 [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Futures
Risk. The Underlying Funds 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 advisers
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. |

|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| 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 Funds ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these
bonds could decrease the Funds share price. |
|
| Income Risk [Member] |
|
| Prospectus [Line Items] |
|
| Risk [Text Block] |
| ● | Income
Risk. An Underlying ETFs 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 securitys price to changes in interest rates. This measure incorporates
a securitys coupon, maturity, and call features, among other factors. |

|
| 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. 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. |

| 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 Funds 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 Funds return, unless the securities
traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities
may also increase the Funds realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the
taxes you pay as the Fund shareholder. The Funds 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 Funds 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. |

|
| 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. |
