Fees and Expenses of the Fund The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below. Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Annual Fund Operating Expenses(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0025 0.0000 0.0075 0.0100 -0.0072 0.0028 Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. April 30, 2028 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 periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, and that the Expense Limitation Arrangement is not renewed. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, whether you redeem or hold your shares, your costs would be: 29 247 Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. Because the Fund had not commenced investment operations prior to the date of this prospectus, it does not have portfolio turnover information for the most recent fiscal year to report. Investments, Risks, and PerformancePrincipal Investment Strategy Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities in the S&P 500 Index.Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to such investments or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the Fund's 80% policy, consistent with the Fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives. Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. The S&P 500 Index is a broad measure of the performance of 500 leading companies chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation to represent the equity performance of large-capitalization U.S. companies.The Sub-Adviser does not anticipate utilizing customary economic, financial or market analyses or other traditional investment techniques to manage the Fund. The Fund is constructed and maintained by utilizing a replication technique. That is, the Fund generally seeks to hold all 500 companies in the S&P 500 Index in the exact weight each represents in the index, although in certain instances a sampling approach may be utilized. This strategy is commonly referred to as an indexing strategy. Individual securities holdings may differ from those of the S&P 500 Index, and the Fund may not track the performance of the S&P 500 Index perfectly due to expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of cash flows into and out of the Fund, and differences between how and when the Fund and the S&P 500 Index are valued. The Fund will remain substantially fully invested in securities comprising the index even when prices are generally falling. Similarly, adverse performance of a stock will ordinarily not result in its elimination from the Fund. The S&P 500 Index covers approximately 80% of the market capitalization of all publicly-traded U.S. equity securities. The securities in the S&P 500 Index are weighted based on the float-adjusted market value of their outstanding shares. The constituents of the S&P 500 Index are likely to change over time. The Fund may become “non-diversified,” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index that the Fund is designed to track. The Fund may concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the index the Fund is designed to track concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities in the S&P 500 Index. Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer.

The Fund may concentrate its investments (i.e., invest 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the index the Fund is designed to track concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. Market Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect Fund performance. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. The value of a security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the market as a whole. Any issuer of securities may perform poorly, causing the value of its securities to decline. Poor performance may be caused by a variety of factors, such as poor management decisions; reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services; competitive pressures; negative perception in the marketplace; loss of major customers; strategic initiatives such as mergers or acquisitions and the market response to any such initiatives; and the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer. The value of a security also may decline due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning such rates, changes in interest rates, recessions, or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Even when securities markets perform well, there can be no assurance that the investments held by the Fund will increase in value along with the broader market. Changes in the financial condition of (or other event affecting) a single issuer can impact an individual sector or industry, or the securities markets as a whole. To the extent that securities of issuers behave or are perceived to behave similarly to each other, events affecting one issuer, industry or sector may have a larger impact. The value of a security also may decline due to factors that affect a particular sector or industry, such as tariffs, labor shortages, or increased production costs and competitive conditions within the sector or industry. Geopolitical events, including acts of terrorism, tensions, war or other open conflicts between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within nations that are global economic powers or major oil or other commodities producers, have led, and may in the future lead, to overall instability in world economies and markets generally and have led, and may in the future lead, to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects. For example, the armed conflict among the United States, Israel and Iran that commenced in February 2026 has contributed to increased volatility and uncertainty in financial markets as well as significant volatility in the oil and natural gas markets, which has created widespread economic disruption. World markets, or those in a particular region, may all react in similar fashion to economic, political or other developments. Events such as environmental and natural disasters or other catastrophes, public health crises (such as epidemics and pandemics), social unrest, and cybersecurity incidents, and governments’ reactions (or failure to react) to such events, could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. Impacts from climate change may include significant risks to global financial assets and economic growth. The extent and duration of such events and resulting market disruptions could be substantial and could magnify the impact of other risks to the Fund. The value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by developments in other countries and regions, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to the countries or regions directly affected. Changes in government or central bank policies, changes in existing laws and regulations, and political, diplomatic and other events within the United States and abroad could cause uncertainty in the markets, may affect investor and consumer confidence, and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. High public debt and deficits in the United States and other countries create ongoing systemic and market risks and policymaking uncertainty and may negatively affect economic conditions and the values of markets, sectors and companies in which the Fund invests. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant on information data systems. Inaccurate data, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at large. Furthermore, impacts from the rapid development and increasingly widespread use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, including by market participants, may include significant risks to global financial markets. Significant downturns in the information technology sector, which includes companies that are investing heavily in AI research, development and infrastructure, could rapidly lead to widespread market weakness. Equity Securities Risk — In general, the values of stocks and other equity securities fluctuate, and sometimes widely fluctuate, in response to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors. Stock markets tend to run in cycles, with periods when stock prices generally go up and periods when stock prices generally go down. However, stock markets also can move up and down rapidly and unpredictably. The Fund may experience a significant or complete loss on its investment in an equity security. Index Strategy Risk — The Fund employs an index strategy and generally will not modify its index strategy to respond to changes in market trends or the economy, which means that the Fund may be particularly susceptible to a general decline in the market segment relating to the relevant index. In addition, although the index strategy attempts to closely track the relevant index, the Fund may not invest in all of the securities in the index. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index strategy will match that of the relevant index. To the extent that the Fund utilizes a representative sampling approach, it may experience greater tracking error than it would if the Fund sought to replicate the index. To the extent that the securities of a limited number of companies represent a significant percentage of the relevant index, the Fund may be subject to more risk because changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect, either positive or negative, on the Fund’s net asset value. To the extent that the index has a significant weighting in a particular sector or industry, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with that sector or industry and may experience greater performance volatility than a portfolio that seeks to track the performance of an index that is more broadly diversified. Index Non-Diversification Risk — To the extent that the Fund becomes non-diversified as necessary to approximate the composition of the index, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a single issuer or a limited number of issuers. As a result, the Fund’s performance will be more vulnerable to changes in market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single adverse economic, political, regulatory or other occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers. The Fund may experience greater performance volatility than a fund that is more broadly invested. Sector Risk — From time to time, based on market or economic conditions, the Fund may have significant positions in one or more sectors of the market. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. The industries that constitute a sector may all react in the same way to economic, political, regulatory or other events.Information Technology Sector Risk — As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund's investments are more focused in the information technology sector, consistent with the index. Investment risks associated with investing in the information technology sector include, in addition to other risks, the intense competition to which information technology companies may be subject; the dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel among information technology companies; effects on profitability from being heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of those rights; rapid product obsolescence due to technological developments and frequent new product introduction; disruptions to supply chains and distribution networks; general economic conditions; and legislative or regulatory changes. Any of these factors could result in a material adverse impact on the Fund’s holdings and the performance of the Fund. Growth in the stock prices of a small group of “mega cap” companies in the information technology sector has caused their market capitalizations to grow, which, in turn, has resulted in these companies making up a significant portion of certain major, market-capitalization weighted stock market indexes, which generally give greater weight to companies with the largest market capitalizations. Index Concentration Risk — To the extent that the Fund's investments become concentrated in a particular industry or group of industries as necessary to approximate the composition of the index, the Fund's performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect that industry or group of industries. Large-Cap Company Risk — Larger more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, which may lead to a decline in their market price. Many larger companies also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. Derivatives Risk — The Fund’s investments in derivatives may rise or fall in value more rapidly than other investments and may reduce the Fund’s returns and increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value. Investing in derivatives involves investment techniques and risk analyses different from, and risks in some respects greater than, those associated with investing in more traditional investments, such as stocks and bonds. Derivatives may be leveraged such that a small investment can have a significant impact on the Fund’s exposure to stock market values, interest rates, or other investments. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a derivatives contract may cause an immediate and substantial loss, and the Fund could lose more than the amount it invested. Some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. In addition, it may be difficult or impossible for the Fund to purchase or sell certain derivatives in sufficient amounts to achieve the desired level of exposure, or to terminate or offset existing arrangements, which may result in a loss or may be costly to the Fund. Some derivatives are more sensitive to market price fluctuations and to interest rate changes than other investments. Derivatives may not behave as anticipated by the Fund, and derivatives strategies that are successful under certain market conditions may be less successful or unsuccessful under other market conditions. The Fund also may be exposed to losses if the counterparty in the transaction is unable or unwilling to fulfill its contractual obligation. In certain cases, the Fund may be hindered or delayed in exercising remedies against or closing out derivatives with a counterparty, resulting in additional losses. Derivatives also may be subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil. Changes to the regulation of derivatives markets and mutual funds’ use of derivatives may impact the Fund’s ability to maintain its investments in derivatives, make derivatives more costly, limit their availability, adversely affect their value or performance, or otherwise disrupt markets. Portfolio Management Risk — The Fund is subject to the risk that strategies used by an investment manager and its securities selections fail to produce the intended results. In addition, many processes used in Fund management, including security selection, rely, in whole or in part, on the use of various technologies. The Fund may suffer losses if there are imperfections, errors or limitations in the quantitative, analytic or other tools, resources, information and data used, or the analyses employed or relied on, by an investment manager, or if such tools, resources, information or data are used incorrectly, fail to produce the desired results, or otherwise do not work as intended. There can be no assurance that the use of these technologies will result in effective investment decisions for the Fund. In addition, the Fund could experience losses if an investment manager’s judgments about the risks associated with the Fund’s investment program prove to be incorrect. New Fund Risk — The Fund is newly or recently established and has limited operating history. The Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Until the Fund is fully capitalized, it may be unable to pursue its investment objective or execute its principal investment strategies. Large Transaction Risk — A significant percentage of the Fund’s shares may be owned or controlled by the Adviser and its affiliates or other large shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund is subject to the potential for large-scale inflows and outflows as a result of purchases and redemptions of its shares by such shareholders. These inflows and outflows could negatively affect the Fund’s net asset value and performance. Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table The Fund is newly offered.

Performance information will be available in the Prospectus after the Fund has been in operation for one full calendar year. Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. Pursuant to a contract, Equitable Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has agreed to waive its and its affiliates’ management, administrative and other fees and, if necessary, make payments to the Fund to limit the expenses of the Fund through April 30, 2028 (unless the Board of Trustees consents to an earlier revision or termination of this arrangement) (“Expense Limitation Arrangement”) so that the annual operating expenses of the Fund (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, capitalized expenses (other than offering costs), fees and expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund invests, 12b-1 fees, dividend and interest expenses on securities sold short, and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business) do not exceed an annual rate of average daily net assets of 0.28% for Class E shares of the Fund. The Expense Limitation Arrangement may be terminated by the Adviser at any time after April 30, 2028. The Adviser may be reimbursed the amount of any such waivers or payments in the future provided that the waivers or payments are reimbursed within three years of the waivers or payments being recorded and the Fund’s expense ratio, after the reimbursement is taken into account, does not exceed the Fund’s expense cap at the time of the waiver or the Fund’s expense cap at the time of the reimbursement, whichever is lower.
