Fees and Expenses This 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. Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0050 0 0.0000 0.0050 Example The 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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: 51 160 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 may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund 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. The fund is new and does not yet have a portfolio turnover rate to disclose. Principal Investment Strategy To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of power ecosystem companies. The fund considers power ecosystem companies to be those companies that the fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (sub-adviser), determines should benefit from investment in, or growth of, the generation, transmission, distribution, storage, management, or efficient use of power, including equipment, services, materials, and enabling and/or emerging technologies related to power (collectively, power ecosystem themes). In making this determination, the sub-adviser considers a company's business activities, products and technologies (including emerging products and technologies), services, assets, and/or current or expected sources of revenue, including as they relate to power generation and utilities; transmission, distribution, and grid infrastructure; power equipment, engineering, and infrastructure services; and energy transition, storage, and critical inputs, including renewable energy, battery storage, hydrogen, smart grid technologies, liquid cooling, rare earths, and nuclear-related activities. The fund’s investments are concentrated (i.e., more than 25% of its total assets) in power ecosystem-related industries. The fund considers power ecosystem-related industries to be Construction & Engineering, Electrical Components & Equipment, Heavy Electrical Equipment, Electronic Equipment & Instruments, Trading Companies & Distributors, Industrial Gases, Diversified Metals & Mining, Electric Utilities, Gas Utilities, Multi-Utilities, Independent Power Producers & Energy Traders, Electronic Manufacturing Services, Aerospace & Defense, Coal & Consumable Fuels, Diversified Support Services, Industrial Conglomerates, Semiconductors, and Renewable Electricity (as such industries are defined by the Global Industry Classification Standard (“GICS”) or as may otherwise be defined by GICS in the future). The fund invests principally in common stocks. The fund may invest in stocks of companies of any market capitalization. The fund may invest without limit in stocks of foreign companies, including companies located in emerging market countries. Certain of the fund's investments may be denominated in foreign currencies. The currency exposure of the fund's portfolio is generally unhedged to the U.S. dollar. The fund may, from time to time, invest a significant portion (more than 20%) of its total assets in securities of companies located in a particular country or region. As of the date of this Prospectus, in addition to the United States, the fund expects to invest a significant portion of its assets in securities of companies located in the European region.The sub-adviser uses a proprietary investment process to select companies for the fund's portfolio. This process includes both quantitative and fundamental inputs to assess the degree of alignment to power ecosystem themes and to identify companies the sub-adviser believes will outperform the broader power ecosystem market. The sub-adviser utilizes inputs such as company disclosures and earnings information as well as wider considerations in relation to competitive landscape and/or the regulatory environment. As part of its ongoing review of portfolio holdings, the sub-adviser may sell a security when it identifies that the original case for investment has weakened and/or the sub-adviser identifies a more compelling investment opportunity. The fund is non-diversified. To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of power ecosystem companies. The fund considers power ecosystem companies to be those companies that the fund's sub-adviser, Newton Investment Management North America, LLC (sub-adviser), determines should benefit from investment in, or growth of, the generation, transmission, distribution, storage, management, or efficient use of power, including equipment, services, materials, and enabling and/or emerging technologies related to power (collectively, power ecosystem themes).

It is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money. · Power ecosystem company risk: Because the fund invests significantly in power ecosystem companies, the fund is more susceptible to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal and other developments affecting such companies. Power ecosystem companies may experience substantial price volatility, carry relatively high levels of debt and be more likely than other companies to restructure their businesses and/or become unable to maintain capital construction programs during downturns in energy markets, broader economic slowdowns, or periods of high inflation and rising interest rates. These companies are also subject to specific risks, including, among others, fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates; changes in energy-related and environmental regulations (including energy conservation policies); government rate-setting standards (e.g., fixed rates charged to customers); changes in subsidy levels, tax laws, tariffs, and accounting standards; domestic and international political, regulatory, and economic conditions (especially in key energy‑producing and consuming countries); service interruptions or legal challenges arising from environmental, operational, or other incidents; constraints on the availability or cost of necessary resources; and shifts in market sentiment toward power ecosystem companies. Power ecosystem companies also face operating risks, including the risk of fire, explosions, leaks, mining and drilling accidents and other catastrophic events. In addition, natural disasters—such as earthquakes, floods, lightning, hurricanes, tsunamis, and severe wind—are inherent risks in these operations. At times, securities of power ecosystem companies may underperform other industries or the broader market. · Concentration risk: Because the fund concentrates its investments in power ecosystem-related industries, the fund may be subject to greater risks and market fluctuations than funds with broader industry exposure. The fund is particularly susceptible to financial, economic, political, market, and regulatory events that impact power ecosystem-related industries. The fund is subject to the risk that: (i) its performance will be closely tied to the performance of these industries; (ii) its performance will be adversely impacted when these industries experience a downturn; and (iii) it will perform poorly during periods of reduced investor demand for securities of companies in these industries. · Risks of stock investing: Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general market conditions or because of factors that affect the particular company or the company's industry. Holders of common stock incur more risk than holders of preferred stock and debt obligations because common stockholders, as owners of the issuer, generally have inferior rights to receive payments from the issuer in comparison with the rights of holders of debt obligations or preferred stock issued by the issuer. In addition, holders of common stock generally have a lower priority in reorganization and bankruptcy proceedings than holders of debt obligations or preferred stock. · Market capitalization risk (small-, mid- and large-cap stock risk): To the extent the fund emphasizes investments in small-, mid- or large-cap stocks, it will assume the associated risks. At any given time, any of these market capitalizations may be out of favor with investors. Compared to small- and mid-cap companies, large-cap companies may be less responsive to changes and opportunities affecting their business. To the extent the fund invests in small- and mid-cap companies, it will be subject to additional risks because the operating histories of these companies tend to be more limited, their earnings and revenues less predictable (and some companies may be experiencing significant losses), and their share prices more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. The shares of smaller companies tend to trade less frequently than those of larger, more established companies, which can adversely affect the pricing of these securities and the fund's ability to sell these securities. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, or may depend on a limited management group. · Foreign investment risk: Because the fund invests in foreign securities, the fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political and economic instability and differing auditing and legal standards. The imposition of sanctions, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States and other governments, or problems related to share registration, trade settlement, or asset custody, may result in losses for the fund. Investments denominated in foreign currencies are subject to the risk that such currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and affect the value of these investments held by the fund. To the extent securities held by the fund trade in a market that is closed when the exchange on which the fund's shares trade is open, there may be deviations between the current price of a security and the last quoted price for the security in the closed foreign market. These deviations could result in the fund experiencing premiums or discounts greater than those of ETFs that invest in domestic securities. To the extent the fund's investments are focused in a limited number of foreign countries, the fund's performance could be more volatile than that of more geographically diversified funds. · European risk: To the extent the fund invests significantly in the securities of issuers located in the European region, the fund is more exposed to the economic and political risks of Europe and of the European countries in which it invests. Any adverse economic or political events in Europe may cause the fund's investments to decline in value. The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. Countries in Europe will be significantly affected by the fiscal and monetary controls of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (EU). Changes in regulations on trade, decreasing imports or exports, changes in the exchange rate of the Euro, the default or threat of default by an EU member country on its sovereign debt, and recessions among European countries may have a significant adverse effect on the economies of other European countries. In addition, one or more countries may abandon the Euro and/or withdraw from the EU, such as the United Kingdom's (the "U.K.'s") formal exit on January 31, 2020, which could potentially have an adverse effect on the value of the fund's investments. There is still considerable uncertainty relating to the potential consequences associated with the U.K.'s exit from the EU. · Emerging market risk: The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging market countries tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in countries with more mature economies. There may be less information publicly available about an emerging market issuer than about a developed market issuer and/or the available information may be outdated or unreliable. In addition, emerging market issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing, legal and financial reporting standards comparable to those in developed markets, potentially making it difficult to evaluate such issuers. Emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Additionally, investments in these countries may have restrictions that make it difficult or impossible for the fund to exercise rights, pursue legal remedies, and obtain judgements in foreign courts. Investments in these countries may be subject to political, economic, legal, market and currency risks. The risks may include less protection of property rights and uncertain political and economic policies, greater vulnerability to market manipulation, the imposition of capital controls and/or foreign investment limitations by a country, nationalization of businesses and the imposition of sanctions by other countries, such as the United States. · Issuer risk: A security's market value may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer's products or services, or factors that affect the issuer's industry, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. · Market risk: The value of the securities in which the fund invests may be affected by political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the fund. Global economies and financial <p style="margin-top:revert; margin-bottom:revert; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Serif; font-style:normal; text-align:justify; color:#000000; font-weight:normal; margin-left:8.65pt; text-decoration:none;">markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies world-wide. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disaster, the spread of infectious illness and other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the fund and its investments. · Management risk: The investment process used by the fund's sub-adviser could fail to achieve the fund's investment goal, and may cause your fund investment to lose value or may cause the fund to underperform other funds with similar investment goals. · Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers risk: The fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, which are responsible for the creation and redemption activity for the fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, fund shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable or unwilling to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. · Fluctuation of net asset value, share premiums and discounts risk: As with all exchange-traded funds, fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of fund shares in the secondary market may differ from the fund's daily net asset value per share and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the net asset value per share (premium) or less than the net asset value per share (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. · Trading issues risk: Although fund shares are listed for trading on an exchange and may be listed or traded on other U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges as well, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such fund shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the listing exchange, make trading in fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in fund shares on an exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to exchange "circuit breaker" rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the listing exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged or that fund shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. · New fund risk: The fund is newly organized with limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the fund will grow to or maintain sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. · Non-diversification risk: The fund is non-diversified and therefore, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.
