A laddered buffer portfolio is a portfolio that consists of multiple underlying defined outcome buffer ETFs with different expiration dates, allowing for tactical investing and diversification. The laddered approach spreads performance over multiple investment periods, providing a level of downside protection while allowing for some upside potential. Each underlying ETF tracks SPY and imposes a cap on the underlying ETF’s gains from SPY in return for also applying a buffer against the first 15% of SPY losses. The laddered portfolio is currently comprised of the Aptus January Buffer ETF, Aptus April Buffer ETF, Aptus July Buffer ETF, and Aptus October Buffer ETF (each, an “Underlying ETF” and, collectively, the “Underlying ETFs”); however, the U.S. large-cap equity Aptus-managed buffer ETFs that comprise the laddered portfolio may change from time to time. By investing in a “laddered portfolio” of multiple Underlying ETFs that employ structured outcome strategies over pre-determined investment periods, the Fund’s investment exposure to the underlying U.S. large-cap equity market, as well as its ability to limit downside risk, is spread out across multiple investment time periods. This laddered portfolio approach is intended to mitigate the risk of failing to benefit from the buffer of a single Underlying ETF due to the timing of investment in such Underlying ETF and the relative price of the reference asset or having limited or no upside potential remaining because of the cap of a single Underlying ETF. The Fund’s laddered approach is </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">intended to allow the Fund to continue to benefit from increases in the value of SPY and to provide a level of downside protection for at least a portion of the Fund’s portfolio at any given time.

In other words, the continual and periodic refreshing of the Underlying ETF caps and buffers at current SPY prices is intended to allow the Fund to continue to benefit from increases in the value of SPY and to provide a level of downside protection for at least a portion of the Fund’s portfolio at any given time. This approach reduces the risk inherent in the Underlying ETFs of having the upside potential for an entire Investment Period capped out in cases of rapid appreciation of SPY. It also reduces the risk of failing to benefit from an individual Underlying ETF buffer in cases where SPY has depreciated below that specific buffer level. Annually, each of the Underlying ETFs will undergo a reset of its cap and a refresh of its buffer, meaning that investors may have the ability to benefit from any appreciation in SPY for future periods up to the respective caps of the Underlying ETFs and may have the benefit of the buffer for future periods.

Under such circumstances, the Fund’s returns would be more greatly influenced by the returns of the Underlying ETFs with the larger exposures.

Each Underlying ETF’s strategy seeks to deliver returns (before fees and expenses) that match the price return of SPY (up to the cap), while limiting downside losses, if shares are bought on the day on which the Underlying ETF enters into the FLEX Options and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of each Investment Period. To the extent the Fund acquires shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each rebalancing, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of an Investment Period. Likewise, to the extent the Fund disposes of shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with redemptions of shares of the Fund and during each rebalancing, any such dispositions typically will not occur on the last day of an Investment Period.

Because the Fund will acquire shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with creations of new shares of the Fund and during each rebalance, the Fund typically will not acquire Underlying ETF shares on the first day of an Investment Period. Likewise, the Fund will dispose of shares of the Underlying ETFs in connection with redemptions of shares of the Fund and during each rebalance, and such disposals typically will not occur on the last day of an Investment Period. In the event that the Fund acquires Underlying ETF shares after the first day of an Investment Period and the Underlying ETF has risen in value to a level near to the cap, there may be little or no ability for the Fund to experience an investment gain on its shares (because the Fund’s potential gain will be limited to the difference between the Underlying ETF's NAV on the date the Fund purchases Underlying ETF shares and the cap), however, the Fund will remain vulnerable to downside risks. This could be true for all of the Underlying ETFs held by the Fund at a certain point in time severely limiting the Fund’s ability to participate in gains during that time. If SPY experiences gains during an Investment Period, an Underlying ETF will not participate in those gains beyond the cap. If the Fund buys Underlying ETF shares when the price exceeds the cap, the Fund will not experience any gain regardless of the performance of SPY. An investor like the Fund that holds Underlying ETF shares through multiple Investment Periods may fail to experience gains comparable to those of SPY over time because at the end of each Investment Period, a new cap will be established based on the then current price of SPY and any gains above the prior cap will be forfeit. Moreover, the annual imposition of a new cap on future gains may make it difficult to recoup any losses from prior Investment Periods such that, over multiple Investment Periods, the Underlying ETFs may have losses that exceed those of SPY. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Counterparty Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

Because the Fund will typically not purchase an Underlying ETF on the first day of an Outcome Period, it is not likely that the stated outcome of the Underlying ETF will be realized by the Fund. The Fund will be continuously exposed to the investment profiles of each of the Underlying ETFs during their respective Investment Periods. A purchaser of Shares will, therefore, have exposure to Underlying ETFs with differing profiles in terms of its upside performance availability to its cap and potential for downside protection to its buffer. The Fund may invest in an Underlying ETF at times when the Underlying ETF is experiencing little or no benefit to its cap or buffer. The Fund, with its aggregate exposure to each of the Underlying ETFs and its respective defined outcome profiles, may have investment returns that are inferior to that of any single Underlying ETF or group of Underlying ETFs over any given time period. Because the Fund may not be equally weighted on a continuous basis, the Fund may be exposed to one or more Underlying ETFs disproportionately when compared to other Underlying ETFs. In such circumstances, the Fund will be subject to the over-weighted performance of such Underlying ETF.

In the event the Fund acquires shares after the first day of an Investment Period or disposes of shares prior to the expiration of the Investment Period, the value of the Fund’s investment in Underlying ETF shares may not be buffered against a decline in the value of SPY and may not participate in a gain in the value of SPY for the Fund’s investment period.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Each Underlying ETF invests in FLEX Options that reference the market price of SPY, which is comprised of the securities of large-capitalization companies.

When the Fund sells shares of the Underlying ETFs in the open market, the Fund will recognize gain or loss on the disposition of the shares, which could have a negative impact on Fund returns. In addition, note that the Fund may, under certain circumstances, effect a portion of its creations and redemptions for cash rather than in-kind. If the Fund effects redemptions for cash, it may be required to sell shares of the Underlying ETFs in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any recognized gain on these sales by the Fund will generally cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required if it were to distribute such shares only in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute these gains to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with the special tax rules that apply to it. This strategy may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in a different ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares entirely in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and the offered prices of the Fund’s shares than for ETFs that distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Sector Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> To the extent SPY invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.

This includes the tax aspects of the Underlying ETFs’ options strategy, the hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If, in any year, an Underlying ETF fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Underlying ETF would be taxed as an ordinary corporation, which could cause the Fund to lose its status as a RIC as well if there are no cure provisions available to the Fund. </span><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Similar to other ETFs, when an Underlying ETF disposes of appreciated property by distributing such appreciated property in-kind pursuant to redemption requests of AP shareholders under Section 852(b)(6) of the Code, the Underlying ETF does not expect to recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. The Underlying ETFs have received an opinion of special tax counsel to the Fund’s adviser regarding whether Section 852(b)(6) should be available when an Underlying ETF rebalances its portfolio and distributes appreciated portfolio positions. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court were to disagree with an Underlying ETF’s position as to the applicability of this nonrecognition rule to the Underlying ETF’s dispositions, the Underlying ETF could be under-distributed with respect to its income or gains; potentially causing the Underlying ETF to fail to qualify as a RIC for such year, subjecting the Underlying ETF to tax, interest and penalties, and potentially causing the character of the amounts reported to shareholders to be incorrect. If, for any year, an Underlying ETF fails to qualify as a RIC, the Underlying ETF itself generally would be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal income tax, and distributions received by its shareholders, including the Fund, would be subject to further U.S. federal income tax. Alternatively, the Underlying ETF may be required to pay a deficiency dividend (without having received additional cash) and applicable interest, and such dividend would be paid to the then current shareholders of the Underlying ETF, including the Fund. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC would have significant negative economic consequences to the Underlying ETF’s shareholders and, in turn, the Fund and its shareholders. Failure by an Underlying ETF to qualify as a RIC could also cause the Fund to lose its status as a RIC as well, which could have significant negative economic consequences for the shareholders of the Fund.</span></div> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">SPY Equity Risk. </span>Because each Underlying ETF holds FLEX Options that reference SPY, each Underlying ETF has exposure to the equity securities markets. Equity securities prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant equity market, such as market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting an issuer occur. Common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase.

The Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”); however, the federal income tax treatment of certain aspects of the proposed operations of the Fund are not entirely clear. This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. Certain options on an ETF may not qualify as “Section 1256 contracts” under Section 1256 of the Code, and disposition of such options will likely result in short-term or long-term capital gains or losses depending on the holding period.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Similar to other ETFs, when the Fund disposes of appreciated property by distributing such appreciated property in-kind pursuant to redemption requests of AP shareholders under Section 852(b)(6) of the Code, the Fund does not expect to recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. The Fund has received an opinion of special tax counsel to the Fund’s adviser regarding whether Section 852(b)(6) should be available when it rebalances the portfolio and distributes appreciated portfolio positions. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court were to disagree with the Fund’s position as to the applicability of this nonrecognition rule to the Fund’s dispositions, the Fund could be under-distributed with respect to its income or gains; potentially causing the Fund to fail to qualify as a RIC for such year, subjecting the Fund to tax, interest and penalties, and potentially causing the character of the amounts reported to shareholders to be incorrect. If, for any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund itself generally would be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal income tax, and distributions received by its shareholders would be subject to further U.S. federal income tax. Alternatively, the Fund may be required to pay a deficiency dividend (without having received additional cash) and applicable interest, and such dividend would be paid to the then current shareholders of the Fund. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC would have significant negative economic consequences for the Fund’s shareholders.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Underlying ETF Risk.</span> The Fund invests in FLEX Options that reference an ETF, which subjects the Fund to certain of the risks of owning shares of an ETF, as well as the types of instruments in which the Underlying ETF invests. The value of an ETF will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the securities held by the ETF, which may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and demand for those securities. In addition, ETFs are subject to authorized participant concentration risk, market maker risk, premium/discount risk, tracking error risk and trading issues risk. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of the Underlying ETF and, in turn, the value of the Fund’s shares. An ETF that tracks an index may not exactly match the performance of the index due to cash drag, differences between the portfolio of the ETF and the components of the index, expenses, and other factors.

Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the Fund will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount).

In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund’s FLEX Options may decrease. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium (for written FLEX Options) or acceptance of a discounted price (for purchased FLEX Options) and may take longer to complete. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and Fund shares and result in the Fund being unable to achieve its investment objective. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other securities. FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain non-customized options.

An investor that holds Shares through multiple Investment Periods will be unable to recapture losses, if any, from prior Investment Periods because the Buffer resets for each new Investment Period and is established based on the then current price of the Underlying ETF. Accordingly, any losses experienced outside the prior Buffer will be locked in.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Cap Change Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> A new Cap is established at the beginning of each Investment Period and is dependent on prevailing market conditions. As a result, the Cap may rise or fall from one Investment Period to the next and is unlikely to remain the same for consecutive Investment Periods. Unlike the Cap, the Buffer and the Underlying ETF will remain the same for each Investment Period.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Capped Upside Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Fund’s strategy seeks to provide returns that match those of the share price performance of the Underlying ETF for Shares purchased on the first day of an Investment Period and held for the entire Investment Period, subject to a pre-determined upside Cap. If an investor does not hold its Shares for an entire Investment Period, the returns realized by that investor may not match those the Fund seeks to achieve. If the Underlying ETF experiences gains during an Investment Period, the Fund will not participate in those gains beyond the Cap. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the first day of an Investment Period and the Fund has risen in share price to a level near to the Cap, there may be little or no ability for that investor to experience an investment gain on their Shares.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Cash Transaction Risk. </span>The Fund may effect all or a portion of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund’s shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Counterparty Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

If, for any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund itself generally would be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal income tax, and distributions received by its shareholders would be subject to further U.S. federal income tax.

During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the ability of the Fund to value the FLEX Options becomes more difficult and the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser (employing the fair value procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust) may play a greater role in the valuation of the Fund’s holdings due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.15pt">Investment Period Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Fund’s investment strategy is designed to deliver returns that match the share price return of the Underlying ETF if Shares are bought on the day on which the Fund enters into the FLEX Options (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">i.e.</span>, the first day of an Investment Period) and held until those FLEX Options expire at the end of the Investment Period.

Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates, and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others.

This includes the tax aspects of the Fund’s options strategy, its hedging strategy, the possible application of the “straddle” rules, and various loss limitation provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. Certain options on an ETF may not qualify as “Section 1256 contracts” under Section 1256 of the Code, and disposition of such options will likely result in short-term or long-term capital gains or losses depending on the holding period.</span><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Similar to other ETFs, when the Fund disposes of appreciated property by distributing such appreciated property in-kind pursuant to redemption requests of AP shareholders under Section 852(b)(6) of the Code, the Fund does not expect to recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. The Fund has received an opinion of special tax counsel to the Fund’s adviser regarding whether Section 852(b)(6) should be available when it rebalances the portfolio and distributes appreciated portfolio positions. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court were to disagree with the Fund’s position as to the applicability of this nonrecognition rule to the Fund’s dispositions, the Fund could be under-distributed with respect to its income or gains; potentially causing the Fund to fail to qualify as a RIC for such year, subjecting the Fund to tax, interest and penalties, and potentially causing the character of the amounts reported to shareholders to be incorrect. If, for any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund itself generally would be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal income tax, and distributions received by its shareholders would be subject to further U.S. federal income tax.

The value of an ETF will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the securities held by the ETF, which may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and demand for those securities. In addition, ETFs are subject to authorized participant concentration risk, market maker risk, premium/discount risk, tracking error risk and trading issues risk. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of the Underlying ETF and, in turn, the value of the Fund’s shares.

Options enable the Fund to gain exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid or received. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s use of call and put options can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the reference asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. When selling an option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is below the strike price for a put option, or above the strike price for a call option, by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. Purchasing of put or call options involves the payment of premiums, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Purchased put or call options may expire worthless resulting in the Fund’s loss of the premium it paid for the option. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">REIT Investment Risk</span>. Investments in REITs involve unique risks. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in limited volume, and may be more volatile than other securities. REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties or mortgages or by defaults by their borrowers or tenants. Furthermore, these entities depend upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of projects. In addition, the performance of a U.S. REIT may be affected by changes in the tax laws or by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Sector Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

The performance of companies operating in the Communications Sector has historically been closely tied to the performance of the overall economy, and also is affected by economic growth, consumer confidence, attitudes and spending.

Options enable the Fund to gain exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid or received. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s use of call and put options can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying security, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. When selling a call option, the Fund </span><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying security is above the strike price by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. The value of an option may be adversely affected if the market for the option becomes less liquid or smaller, and will be affected by changes in the value or yield of the option’s underlying security, an increase in interest rates, a change in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market or the underlying security and the remaining time to expiration. Additionally, the value of an option does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying security. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span></div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Fund’s use of the collared options strategy may reduce the Fund’s ability to profit from increases in the value of the underlying securities.</span> If the price of the underlying security of a written call option rises above its strike price, the value of the option and, consequently, the Fund may decline significantly more than if the Fund invested solely in the underlying security instead of using options. Similarly, if the price of the underlying security of a purchased put option remains above its strike price, the option may become worthless, and, consequently the value of the Fund may decline significantly more than if the Fund invested solely in the underlying security instead of using options. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Depositary Receipt Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span>Depositary receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Derivatives Risk. </span>The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying reference asset. Derivatives, such as the options in which the Fund invests, can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund could experience a loss if its derivatives do not perform as anticipated, the derivatives are not correlated with the performance of their reference asset, or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Equity Market Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, regional armed conflict, acts of terrorism, market volatility related to global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs, the spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the expense ratios in the Fund’s Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and exclude Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. Expense Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then continue to hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

The Fund typically invests approximately 75% to 95% of its assets to obtain exposure to investment-grade fixed income securities (the “Fixed Income Strategy”) and invests the remainder of its assets to obtain exposure to U.S. stocks, while seeking to limit downside risk (the “Equity Strategy”).</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fixed Income Strategy </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund’s Fixed Income Strategy seeks exposure to a diversified array of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade fixed income securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. The fixed income securities the Fund may have exposure to include government, corporate, and international dollar-denominated bonds, as well as mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund will primarily obtain this exposure through investments in ETFs (“Underlying Bond ETFs”) that each track the investment results of an index composed of such fixed income securities. The Underlying Bond ETFs in which the Fund generally invests have fixed income securities with varying maturities, ranging from less than a year to 30 years. The Underlying Bond ETFs are generally expected to make monthly distributions of principal and interest received from their underlying holdings.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund will typically rebalance its investments in Underlying Bond ETFs on a quarterly basis.

Stocks selected as Underlying Individual Equities by the Adviser must also have call options available for purchase that meet the Fund’s minimum liquidity threshold for investibility. The Adviser seeks to select Underlying Individual Equities to diversify exposure across a variety of industries and to maximize the Fund’s equity exposure given the amount allocated to the applicable options, as described below. Underlying Equity ETFs or equity indexes may be selected in lieu of or in addition to Underlying Individual Equities to adjust the balance of the Fund’s exposure across industries or to maintain the Fund’s equity exposure when the Adviser believes they present a better risk profile than Underlying Individual Equities. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund may utilize a combination of purchased and written (sold) call options (known as a “spread”).

In the event the reference asset appreciates above the strike price and the holder exercises the call option, the writer (seller) of the call option will have to pay the difference between the value of the reference asset and the strike price or deliver the reference asset (which loss is offset by the premium initially received), and in the event the reference asset declines in value, the call option may end up worthless and the writer (seller) of the call option retains the premium.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Call options purchased by the Fund typically have a time-to-expiration of one week to six months at the time of purchase and a strike price at or near the current market price of the applicable reference asset.

Each time the Fund rebalances its Equity Strategy, the Fund will typically sell the options it holds and purchase new ones as described above. To the extent the Fund sells options tied to one individual stock or ETF and purchases new options tied to the same individual stock or ETF, the rebalance will generally result in the Fund owning options with a later expiration date than the previous set of options.

A purchased put option gives the purchaser the right to sell shares of the underlying security at a strike price prior to its expiration date. The purchaser of the put option pays a cost (premium) to purchase the put option. In the event the underlying security depreciates in value, the value of the put option will generally increase, and in the event the underlying security appreciates in value, the put option may end up worthless and the premium may be lost.

The VIX Index reflects a calculation designed to produce a measure of constant, 30-day expected volatility of the U.S. stock market, derived from real-time, mid-quote prices of S&amp;P 500® Index call and put options. The Fund may use VIX call or put options as a hedge when the market is experiencing a rapid change in volatility, and the Adviser generally expects to invest less than 1% of the Fund’s net assets in VIX Index call and put options at the time of investment.</span></div>Because the premiums for call and put options purchased by the Fund will typically be a fraction of the value of the underlying reference assets, the options enable the Fund to gain greater exposure to the underlying reference assets than the amount invested in such options. Consequently, the Fund seeks to have greater participation in the appreciation (for call options) or depreciation (for put options) of the applicable underlying reference assets than it would have by investing the same amounts directly in such underlying reference assets, while limiting the maximum loss from such options to the premiums paid. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Depositary Receipt Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span>Depositary receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Derivatives Risk. </span>The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from the performance of an underlying reference asset. Derivatives, such as the options in which the Fund invests, can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund could experience a loss if its derivatives do not perform as anticipated, the derivatives are not correlated with the performance of their reference asset, or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid. Changes in liquidity may result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in the prices for derivatives. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Equity Market Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, regional armed conflict, acts of terrorism, market volatility related to global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs, the spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments.

Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in foreign securities may be subject to risk of loss due to differences in accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards, the possibility of expropriation or confiscatory taxation, adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, political instability, regulatory and economic differences, and potential restrictions on the flow of international capital. Investments in foreign securities also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. These and other factors can make investments in the Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Government Obligations Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund may invest in Underlying Bond ETFs that invest in government obligations as part of their principal investment strategies. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities where it is not obligated to do so by law, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have historically been supported only by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government. While the U.S. government provides financial support to various U.S. government-sponsored agencies and instrumentalities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, no assurance can be given that it will always do so. In September 2008, at the direction of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship under the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), an independent regulator, and they remain in such status as of the date of this Prospectus. The U.S. government also took steps to provide additional financial support to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Government Securities Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund may invest in Underlying Bond ETFs that invest in government securities as part of their principal investment strategies. The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. U.S. government securities are subject to market risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Some GSE securities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHLBanks, and Farmer Mac. These entities are, however, supported through federal subsidies, loans or other benefits. The Fund may also invest in GSE securities that are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, such as those issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae).</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Management Risk</span>. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Market Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span>The trading prices of equity and debt securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors.

Options enable the Fund to gain exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid or received. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s use of call and put options can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the reference asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. Purchasing put or call options involves the payment of premiums, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Purchased put or call options may expire worthless resulting in the Fund’s loss of the premium it paid for the option. When selling a put or call option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is below the strike price (for a put) or above the strike price (for a call) by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. In addition, to the extent a written option that is part of an option spread strategy is exercised, the corresponding option purchased by the Fund to mitigate losses as part of an option spread strategy is not expected to offset all losses from the written option. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Even a small decline in the value of a reference asset underlying call options or a small increase in the value of a reference asset underlying put options can result in the entire investment in such options being lost.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Other Investment Companies Risk. </span>The risks of investing in investment companies, such as the Underlying Bond ETFs, typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. By investing in another investment company, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company. The Fund may be subject to statutory limits with respect to the amount it can invest in other ETFs, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Investments in ETFs are also subject to the “ETF Risks” described above. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Tax Risk.</span> The use of derivatives strategies, such as writing (selling) and purchasing options, involves complex rules that will determine for income tax purposes the amount, character and timing of recognition of the gains and losses the Fund realizes in connection therewith. The Fund expects to generate premiums from its sale of options. These premiums typically will result in short-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes. In addition, equity securities that are hedged with put options may not be eligible for long-term capital gains tax treatment.

Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Equity Market Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, regional armed conflict, acts of terrorism, market volatility related to global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs, the spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues (such as the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus), recessions, rising inflation, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments.

Furthermore, these entities depend upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of projects.

A total return swap is an agreement whereby one party contracts to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of certain underlying assets (or trading strategy) in exchange for receiving periodic payments from the other party based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return of other underlying assets.

Although the Adviser will target this distribution rate, the Fund’s actual distribution rate will be based on a combination of dividends generated by the Fund’s underlying equity portfolio, the appreciation of the Fund’s equity holdings, and income from U.S. Government securities. As a result, the amount of income earned by the Fund will vary from quarter-to-quarter, and the Fund may pay out a return of capital to meet those targets if quarterly distributions exceed the current income generated by the Fund. In addition, the Fund does not guarantee and there can be no assurance that distributions will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable level in line with the Adviser’s internal targets.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Through its Equity Strategy, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in other ETFs that invest in the equity securities of non-U.S. companies.

Economic conditions, such as volatile currency exchange rates and interest rates, political events, military action and other conditions may, without prior warning, lead to foreign government intervention (including intervention by the U.S. government with respect to foreign governments, economic sectors, foreign companies and related securities and interests) and the imposition of capital controls and/or sanctions, which may also include retaliatory actions of one government against another government, such as seizure of assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions include the prohibition of, or restrictions on, the ability to transfer currency, securities or other assets. Capital controls and/or sanctions may also impact the ability of the Fund 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 Shares, and cause the Fund to decline in value. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Counterparty Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">i.e</span>., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not.

The Fund invests primarily in other ETFs that have exposure to securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies or in securities that provide exposure to such currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund’s investment and the value of your Shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Depositary Receipt Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span>Depositary receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities, such as changes in political or economic conditions of other countries and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies. Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When the Fund invests in Depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the Fund is exposed to the risk that the Depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">. Derivatives, such as the options, futures contracts, and swaps in which the Fund invests, can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund could experience a loss if its derivatives do not perform as anticipated, the derivatives are not correlated with the performance of their underlying security, or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. The market for many derivatives is, or suddenly can become, illiquid.

This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests.

The investment technique used by the Fund to build exposure to a portfolio of bonds with various maturities is called a bond ladder. Bond ladders may reduce exposure to volatile securities and manage some potential risks from changing interest rates; however, such outcomes are not guaranteed. Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in yields or interest rates and a lower duration indicates less sensitivity to interest rates. For example, the price of a security with a three-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. The Fund will generally reinvest the principal and interest amounts in corresponding Treasury bills, notes, or bonds, respectively, that have the furthest away maturity date in the bond ladder.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund may also invest in securities issued by GSEs, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBanks”), and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”). </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Box Spread Strategy</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Through its Box Spread Strategy, the Fund invests in box spreads structured using FLEX Options. The box spreads are intended to replace some of the traditional fixed income exposure while still maintaining a similar risk and return profile to that of treasuries with similar duration. An options contract provides a buyer the option to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an asset at a strike price on a future date. A box spread involves creating a synthetic long position in the asset by buying a call option and selling (writing) a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, paired with a synthetic short position in the same asset by selling a call option and buying a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, but with a different strike price than the synthetic long position in the asset. The difference in the strike prices between the synthetic long and synthetic short positions in the asset defines the box spread’s return, aiming for a return independent of market movement.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Box spreads have similar economic exposure as zero-coupon bonds, where profit or loss from the investment is equal to the price difference from initiation to expiration, or from when the zero-coupon bond was bought and when it was sold. The Fund will buy box spreads with varying expirations. When structuring a box spread, the Fund favors index-based options and options on index-based ETFs because such options generally have deep and liquid markets. Although the FLEX Options used in the box spread options may reference equity indices or ETFs linked to such indices, the Fund does not seek to obtain exposure to the performance of those indices through the box spread positions. Instead, the Fund’s box spread trades are constructed to produce return characteristics similar to those of a fixed-income instrument.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Total Return Swaps Strategy</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund invests in total return swaps that implement a systematic trading strategy (STS), with the primary goal of increasing the Fund’s total return. A total return swap is an agreement whereby one party contracts to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of certain underlying assets (or trading strategy) in exchange for receiving periodic payments from the other party based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return of other underlying assets. An STS implemented by a total return swap is a rules-based investment approach to making trade decisions based on pre-established parameters. The Fund may invest in total return swaps that employ STSs using a combination of options and/or futures contracts on equity indexes, fixed income indexes, and/or volatility indexes (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">e.g</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">., the Cboe Volatility Index, also known as “VIX”).

Although the Adviser will target this distribution rate, the Fund’s actual distribution rate will be based on the income from U.S. Government securities. As a result, the amount of income earned by the Fund will vary from month-to-month, and the Fund may pay out a return of capital to meet those targets if monthly distributions exceed the current income generated by the Fund. In addition, the Fund does not guarantee and there can be no assurance that distributions will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable level in line with the Adviser’s internal targets.</span></div> The Fund expects that, under normal market conditions, approximately 60% to 90% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in the Fixed Income Strategy, up to 25% of the Fund’s assets will be invested in the Box Spread Strategy, and up to 10% of the Fund’s remaining assets will be invested in the Total Return Swap Strategy.

A box spread typically consists of four option positions, two of which represent the synthetic long and two representing the synthetic short. If one or more of these individual option positions are modified or closed separately prior to the option contract’s expiration, then the box spread may no longer effectively eliminate risk tied to underlying asset’s movement. Furthermore, the box spread’s value is derived in the market and is in part, based on the time until the options comprising the box spread expire and the prevailing market interest rates. Although the Fund may hold a box spread until close to expiry, if the Fund were to sell a box spread prior to its expiration, then the Fund may incur a loss. The Fund’s ability to profit from box spreads is dependent on the availability and willingness of other market participants to sell box spreads to the Fund at competitive prices.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Cash Transaction Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation as a regulated investment company (“RIC”). In addition, the federal income tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. As a result, a larger portion of the Fund’s distributions may be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.

While the U.S. government provides financial support to various U.S. government-sponsored agencies and instrumentalities, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, no assurance can be given that it will always do so. In September 2008, at the direction of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were placed into conservatorship under the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”), an independent regulator, and they remain in such status as of the date of this Prospectus.

Securities, such as those issued or guaranteed the U.S. Treasury, that are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity and the market prices for such securities will fluctuate. Notwithstanding that these securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that would prevent the payment of interest or principal. This would result in losses to the Fund. Some GSE securities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as those issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FHLBanks, and Farmer Mac.

A return of capital is generally tax-free to the extent of a shareholder’s basis in the Fund’s shares and reduces the shareholder’s basis in their shares and results in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when the shares on which the return of capital distribution was received are sold.

Under the Code, the distribution of appreciated property pursuant to a redemption request enables a RIC to not recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. If the IRS disagrees with the Fund’s position as to the applicability of this non-recognition rule to the Fund’s disposition of derivatives, the Fund could be required to recognize significant amounts of additional income and gains that would need to have been distributed to shareholders of the Fund to avoid incurring entity level income tax and potentially excise taxes. In addition, the IRS could seek to recharacterize any such capital gains as ordinary income. Failure to distribute sufficient amounts of income could cause the Fund to lose its tax-favored status as RIC and could expose the Fund to penalties by the IRS for incorrectly reporting the character of any distributions that were made to shareholders. If the Fund did not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions were not available, the Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC would have significant negative tax consequences to Fund shareholders.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">U.S. Treasury Security Risk. </span>The Fund has exposure to U.S. Treasuries, which are debt instruments issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

In particular, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, to suspend or eliminate holding periods of positions, and/or to defer realized losses, potentially increasing the amount of taxable distributions, and of ordinary income distributions in particular. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation as a regulated investment company (“RIC”). In addition, the federal income tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. As a result, a larger portion of the Fund’s distributions may be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. In addition, certain derivatives are subject to mark-to-market or straddle provisions of the Code. If such provisions are applicable, there could be an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the Fund. In addition, the tax treatment of certain derivatives, such as swaps, is unsettled and may be subject to future legislation, regulation or administrative pronouncements issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">ETF Risks. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">◦</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.46pt">Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”).

Failure to distribute sufficient amounts of income could cause the Fund to lose its tax-favored status as RIC. If the Fund did not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions were not available, the Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC would have significant negative tax consequences to Fund shareholders.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">U.S. Treasury Security Risk. </span>The Fund may have exposure to U.S. Treasuries, which are government debt instruments issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The Fund prioritizes total return over an extended period while focusing on relative performance over shorter periods to minimize tracking error against traditional bond investments.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund gains and manages duration exposure through investment in option combinations, employing either standard exchange-listed options or Flexible EXchange Options (“FLEX Options”), on Treasury and/or fixed-income ETFs. The Fund will purchase at-the-market call options and sell at-the-market put options on the same Treasury and/or fixed-income ETF issuer to achieve notional long exposure to the particular Treasury and/or fixed-income ETF issuer, and thus achieve a synthetic exposure to Treasuries. The Fund gains exposure to the spread component of a traditional bond allocation by selling (writing) put options with a notional value expected to align with the return profile of bond spreads over time. To implement this put writing strategy, rather than directly selling put options, the Fund expects to enter into total return swaps, which have the potential of deferring the return generated by this trading strategy.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Selling (or writing) a put option gives the buyer the right to sell shares of the option’s reference asset at a specified price (the “strike price”) through the expiration date of the option (American-style options) or only at the expiration date (European-style options). The seller of the put option receives an amount (premium) for selling the option. In the event the reference asset declines in value below the strike price and the buyer exercises its put option, the buyer will be entitled to receive the difference between the strike price and the value of the reference asset (a gain offset by the premium originally paid for the option), and in the event the reference asset closes above the strike price as of the expiration date, the put option may end up worthless, resulting in a gain to the seller in the amount of premium received. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">A total return swap is an agreement whereby one party contracts to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of certain underlying assets in exchange for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return of other underlying assets.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Finally, the Fund will hold Treasury Bills and/or box spreads to provide a return on cash used as collateral for the options and total return swaps. An options contract provides a buyer the option to buy (call option) or sell (put option) an asset at a strike price on a future date. A box spread involves creating a synthetic long position in the asset by buying a call option and selling a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, paired with a synthetic short position in the same asset by selling a call option and buying a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, but with a different strike price than the synthetic long position in the asset. The difference in the strike prices between the synthetic long and synthetic short positions in the asset defines the box spread’s return, aiming for a return independent of market movement.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Box spreads have similar economic exposure as zero-coupon bonds, where profit or loss from the investment is equal to the price difference from initiation to expiration, or from when the zero-coupon bond was bought and when it was sold. The Fund will buy box spreads with varying expirations. The Fund favors options on ETFs that track market indexes, such as the Nasdaq-100 Index, for optimal risk-return balance and liquidity, with active trading essential given frequent 'rolling' of the box spreads to manage expirations and renew positions. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund will not invest directly in traditional fixed income securities; except that the Fund may invest directly in Treasury Bills; however, the derivatives utilized by the Fund may provide economic exposure equivalent to fixed income securities.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Index is unmanaged and measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate taxable bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, asset-backed securities, and mortgage pass-through securities. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s strategy may result in the active and frequent trading of the Fund’s investments, which may result in significant portfolio turnover.</span></div> As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Box Spread Risk</span>. A box spread is the combination of a synthetic long position coupled with an offsetting synthetic short position through a combination of options contracts on an underlying or reference asset such as index, equity security or ETF with the same expiration date. A box spread typically consists of four option positions two of which represent the synthetic long and two representing the synthetic short. If one or more of these individual option positions are modified or closed separately prior to the option contract’s expiration, then the box spread may no longer effectively eliminate risk tied to underlying asset’s movement. Furthermore, the box spread’s value is derived in the market and is in part, based on the time until the options comprising the box spread expire and the prevailing market interest rates. Although the Fund may hold a box spread until close to expiry, if the Fund were to sell a box spread prior to its expiration, then the Fund may incur a loss. The Fund’s ability to profit from box spreads is dependent on the availability and willingness of other market participants to sell box spreads to the Fund at competitive prices. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Cash Transaction Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">. The Fund may effect all or a portion of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund’s shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV.</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Deferred Income Strategy Risk</span>. Although the Fund seeks to provide a tax-efficient return stream by employing a strategy that seeks to defer the current recognition of income and gains, the Fund may not be able to defer such income and gains in a tax-efficient manner, the Fund may fail to achieve beneficial tax rates on the Fund’s capital gains, or U.S. tax laws and/or government regulations may change in such a manner so as to mitigate or eliminate tax benefits from deferred income. There are no assurances that the Fund’s investment strategies will enable it to defer the recognition of income and gains. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">.

Additionally, the value of the option may be lost if the Adviser fails to exercise such option at or prior to its expiration. Further, writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the seller’s initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability.

The value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the underlying asset. During periods of reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the ability of the Fund to value the FLEX Options becomes more difficult and the judgment of the Fund’s investment adviser (employing the fair value procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust) may play a greater role in the valuation of the Fund’s holdings due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">◦</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.46pt">Options Risk. </span>Purchasing and selling (writing) options are speculative activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. Options enable the Fund to purchase exposure that is significantly greater than the premium paid. Consequently, the value of such options can be volatile, and a small investment in options can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund risks losing all or part of the cash paid (premium) for purchasing options. Even a small decline in the value of a reference asset underlying call options or a small increase in the value of a reference asset underlying put options can result in the entire investment in such options being lost. Additionally, the value of the option may be lost if the Adviser fails to exercise such option at or prior to its expiration. Further, writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the seller’s initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of writing (selling) options if the price of the written option instrument increases in value between the date the Fund writes the option and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position or exits the option. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.46pt">Swap Risk. </span>The Fund may enter into derivatives called swaps. Risks associated with swap agreements include failure of the counterparties to perform under the contract’s terms, changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the bankruptcy or default of a swap agreement counterparty. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">Derivatives Tax Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Fund may enter into various transactions for which there is a lack of clear guidance under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which may affect the taxation of the Fund. In particular, the use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, to suspend or eliminate holding periods of positions, and/or to defer realized losses, potentially increasing the amount of taxable distributions, and of ordinary income distributions in particular. The Fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation as a regulated investment company (“RIC”). In addition, the federal income tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in an underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. As a result, a larger portion of the Fund’s distributions may be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains. In addition, certain derivatives are subject to mark-to-market or straddle provisions of the Code. If such provisions are </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">applicable, there could be an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the Fund. In addition, the tax treatment of certain derivatives, such as swaps, is unsettled and may be subject to future legislation, regulation or administrative pronouncements issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).</span> <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">ETF Risks. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;margin-top:6pt;padding-left:36pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">◦</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.46pt">Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”).
