The example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then hold or sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. You may also pay brokerage commissions on the purchase and sale of Shares, which are not reflected in the example.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account.

The Fund may invest in equity securities that are listed and traded on U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchanges, as well as equity securities that are not listed on a securities exchange and trade in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. The Fund may access foreign equity exposure through multiple means: direct investments in securities listed on non-U.S. exchanges, investments in securities of foreign companies that trade in the OTC market, U.S.-listed or OTC-traded depositary receipts representing shares in a foreign company on a non-U.S. stock exchange, and ETFs that invest in foreign equity securities. The Fund may also invest in ETFs selected for their ability to represent a country or region, a particular sector (e.g., information technology companies), or for factors such as their strategy (e.g., growth or value) or other factors that help the Fund achieve the Sub-Adviser’s desired equity exposure.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Investment Process: Augmented Fundamental Research</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Sub-Adviser employs a proprietary investment process that integrates technology-assisted research tools with the portfolio manager’s judgment and discretion to identify a portfolio of Misclassified Compounders.

The Sub-Adviser utilizes a discounted value approach intersected with scenario analysis to identify and select securities trading at a significant discount to the Sub-Adviser’s estimated fair value for the company. The discounted cash flow approach estimates the present value of a company by projecting its future cash flows and discounting them to today using a required rate of return.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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%">2</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:13pt">Competitive Advantage.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Sub-Adviser defines competitive advantage simply: a company possesses a competitive advantage if its business model allows it to earn returns on capital that exceed its cost of capital. The sources of competitive advantage for companies in the Fund’s portfolio will vary — some are conventional sources, such as strong brand identity, network scale, intellectual property, or high customer switching costs, while other sources are more obscure, such as structural characteristics that the Sub-Adviser believes the market underappreciates or misclassifies. The Sub-Adviser seeks to identify companies whose competitive advantage is one that the Sub-Adviser believes is sustainable. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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%">3</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:13pt">Governance.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Sub-Adviser also looks to invest in companies that are led by management teams that are shareholder aligned and have a track record of generating strong business results and prudently allocating shareholder capital to deliver attractive returns. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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%">4</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:13pt">Balance Sheet Strength.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Sub-Adviser analyzes a company’s financial statements, including its income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement to gauge its financial health with a particular focus on debt levels, capital structure, and the quality and sustainability of cash generation. The Sub-Adviser generally favors companies with conservative balance sheets that do not rely on external financing to fund operations or growth. The Sub-Adviser favors businesses that generate sufficient cash flow to self-finance, service debt, and compound equity value without requiring shareholders to absorb the cost. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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%">5</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%;padding-left:13pt">Risk Assessment.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Sub-Adviser defines risk primarily as the potential for the permanent loss of capital. The process focuses on two primary sources of that risk: first, that a company’s fundamental business performance disappoints relative to expectations embedded in the purchase price; and second, that the competitive advantage the Sub-Adviser identified proves less durable than assessed or narrows or disappears over time. To mitigate this risk, the Fund typically avoids companies with significant balance sheet risk. The Sub-Adviser prioritizes investments in companies with conservative capital structures and management teams whose interests are strictly aligned with shareholders to protect and grow that value.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Following a manual review of the model’s analyses, the Sub-Adviser will select a portfolio of companies that the Sub-Adviser believes represent Misclassified Compounders. These companies are selected because the Sub-Adviser believes they are quality companies selling at attractive prices and offer the potential for strong risk-adjusted returns. </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Sub-Adviser believes the broader macro environment is a critical determinant of investment outcomes. Consequently, the Fund may maintain overweights in sectors or geographic regions characterized by improving supply-and-demand dynamics, superior economic backdrops, and advancing corporate governance standards. The specific sector allocations will likely change over time as the economic and market environments change. The Fund is not managed relative to a particular securities index or securities benchmark. Rather, the Sub-Adviser makes investment decisions based on the results of its research processes.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Sub-Adviser may sell an investment</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">if the Sub-Adviser determines that such investment no longer satisfies one or more of the Investment Pillars. The sell process may be gradual if the company’s price is approaching the Sub-Adviser’s estimate of fair value, or the Fund may more rapidly exit a position if the Sub-Adviser determines that underlying business fundamentals have or are expected by the Sub-Adviser to disappoint relative to the Sub-Adviser’s initial expectations.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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, which means the Fund may take larger positions in a fewer number of issuers.</span></div> An investor may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Stock markets in many emerging market countries are relatively small, expensive to trade in and generally have higher risks than those in developed markets. Securities in emerging markets also may be less liquid than those in developed markets and foreigners are often limited in their ability to invest in, and withdraw assets from, these markets. Additional restrictions may be imposed under other conditions.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Developed Markets Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Developed market countries generally tend to rely on the services sectors (e.g., the financial sector) as the primary source of economic growth and may be susceptible to the risks of individual service sectors. Many developed market countries have heavy indebtedness, which may lead to downward pressure on the economies of these countries. As a result, it is possible that interest rates on debt of certain developed countries may rise to levels that make it difficult for such countries to service high debt levels without significant help from other countries or from a central bank. Developed market countries generally are dependent on the economies of certain key trading partners. Changes in any one economy may cause an adverse impact on several developed countries.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Currency Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Because the Fund’s NAV is determined in U.S. dollars, the Fund’s NAV could decline if a currency of a non-U.S. market in which the Fund has exposure to depreciates against the U.S. dollar or if there are delays or limits on repatriation of such currency. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably.

In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Therefore, the Sub-Adviser will not be able to vote on any matters with respect to these instruments.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Geographic Investment Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Large-Capitalization Companies Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Large-capitalization companies’ stocks may trail the returns of the overall stock market.

The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises, and environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fire, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and volatility in markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Non-Diversification Risk.</span> Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes affecting individual issuers or investments than a diversified fund, which may result in greater fluctuation in the value of the Shares and greater risk of loss. <span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Equity Investing Risk.</span> An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally. <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">OTC 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 equity securities, including domestic and foreign equity securities and depositary receipts, that are not listed on a national securities exchange and instead trade in the OTC market. Issuers of OTC securities are typically subject to less regulatory oversight and less stringent disclosure requirements than issuers of exchange-listed securities, which may result in less publicly available information about such issuers. OTC markets also tend to be less liquid than exchange markets, and securities traded OTC may experience wider bid-ask spreads, lower trading volumes and greater price volatility, particularly during periods of market stress. As a result, the Fund may have greater difficulty purchasing or selling OTC securities at an advantageous time or price, or in the quantity desired.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Quality Stocks Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> Stocks included in the Fund are deemed by the Sub-Adviser to be quality stocks, but there is no guarantee that the past performance of these stocks will continue. Companies that issue these stocks may experience a decline in value, as well as increased leverage, resulting in lower than expected or negative returns to Fund shareholders. Many factors can affect a stock’s quality and performance, and the impact of these factors on a stock or its price can be difficult to predict.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Value-Style Investing Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Sub-Adviser may be wrong in its assessment of a company’s value, and the stocks the Fund owns may not reach what the Sub-Adviser believes are their true values. The market may not favor value-oriented stocks and may not favor equities at all, which may cause the Fund’s relative performance to suffer. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. While certain value stocks may increase in value more quickly during periods of anticipated economic upturn, they may also lose value more quickly in periods of anticipated economic downturn. Furthermore, there is the risk that the factors which caused the depressed valuations are longer term or even permanent in nature, and that their valuations may fall or never rise.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Quantitative Security Selection Risk. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Data for some companies may be less available and/or less current than data for companies in other markets. The Sub-Adviser uses quantitative analysis, and its processes could be adversely affected if erroneous or outdated data is utilized. The securities selected using quantitative analysis could perform differently from the financial markets as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic and changes in the characteristic’s historical trends. In addition, the investment analysis used in making investment decisions may not adequately consider certain factors, or may contain design flaws or faulty assumptions, any of which may result in a decline in the value of an investment in the Fund.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">AI Model Risk.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> The Fund relies heavily on a proprietary AI-driven research model as well as data and information supplied by third parties that are utilized in the research process. To the extent the model does not perform as designed or as intended, the Fund’s strategy may not be successfully implemented and the Fund may lose value. If the input data is incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities that would have been excluded or included had the data been correct and complete.</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Risk of Investing in Other ETFs. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Because the Fund may invest in other ETFs, the Fund’s investment performance is impacted by the investment performance of the selected underlying ETFs. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the ETFs that then-currently comprise the Fund’s portfolio. At times, certain of the segments of the market represented by the Fund’s underlying ETFs may be out of favor and underperform other segments. The Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the expenses of the underlying ETFs in which it invests (including operating expenses and management fees), which are identified in the fee table above as “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.”</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">ETF Risks.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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:14.5pt">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”).

In addition, you may incur the cost of the “spread,” that is, any difference between the bid price and the ask price of the Shares. In addition, because securities held by the Fund may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when its primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums and discounts greater than those of domestic ETFs.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: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:14.5pt">Cost of Trading Risk.</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%">Investors buying or selling Shares in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker.

The success of the Fund’s investment program depends largely on the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and the portfolio manager and the skill of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and/or portfolio manager in evaluating, selecting, and monitoring the Fund’s assets. The Fund could experience losses (realized and unrealized) if the judgment of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or portfolio manager about markets or sectors or the attractiveness of particular investments made for the Fund’s portfolio prove to be incorrect.

If one or more of the in-kind contributions were to fail to qualify for tax-deferred treatment, then the Fund would not take a carryover tax basis in the applicable contributed assets and would not benefit from a tacked holding period in those assets. This could cause the Fund to incorrectly calculate and report to shareholders the amount of gain or loss recognized and/or the character of gain or loss (</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>, as long-term or short-term) on the subsequent disposition of such assets. In addition, the failure of a contribution to satisfy the requirements of Section 351 could cause the contribution to be treated as a taxable event for the contributing shareholder at the time of contribution. If such failure is not discovered until a later time, this could also cause the contributing shareholder to incorrectly calculate and report gain or loss on the shareholder’s disposition of Fund shares.
