A higher portfolio turnover rate 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 the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the Nomura Strategic Income Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). During the most recent fiscal year of the Predecessor Fund, the Predecessor Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 73% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.73 What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies? <div>The Fund is an actively managed ETF that, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in US and foreign debt securities, including those in emerging markets (80% policy). For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, debt securities include all varieties of fixed, variable and floating rate income securities, including bonds, US and foreign government and agency securities, corporate loans (and loan participations), collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities. To achieve the Fund’s investment objectives, the Manager will allocate investments among various sectors of debt securities and at any given time may have a substantial amount of its assets invested in any class of debt security.</div><div>Emerging markets debt securities include debt securities that are (1) economically tied to an emerging market country or countries, (2) issued or guaranteed by a company domiciled or conducting significant business activities in an emerging market country, or (3) derivatives or pooled structures (such as exchange-traded funds) that are linked to emerging markets corporate debt securities. Emerging market countries include those currently considered to be developing or emerging countries by the World Bank, the United Nations, the countries’ governments, or in the judgment of the Manager.</div><div>The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in high yield, lower-quality debt securities (also known as “junk bonds”).</div><div>The Fund may invest up to 100% of its net assets in foreign securities, including emerging markets securities. The Fund’s total non-US dollar currency exposure may reach 100% of net assets. Due to the manner in which the Fund is managed, it may be subject to a high rate of portfolio turnover.</div><div>The Manager has appointed Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc. (NCRAM) to serve as a sub-advisor for the Fund. NCRAM is responsible for the day-to-day investment management of the portion of the Fund that invests in high-yield, fixed income securities. The Manager may change this allocation at any time. NCRAM selects investments for its portion of the Fund based on NCRAM’s own investment style and strategy.</div><div>The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its assets in cash or short-term fixed income obligations in unusual market conditions to meet redemption requests, for temporary defensive purposes, and pending investment. The Fund may also use a wide range of derivatives instruments, typically including forward foreign currency contracts, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps. The Fund may use derivatives for both hedging and non-hedging purposes. For example, the Fund may invest in: futures and options to manage duration and for defensive purposes, such as to protect gains or hedge against potential losses in the portfolio without actually selling a security, or to stay fully invested; forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure; interest rate swaps to neutralize the impact of interest rate changes; credit default swaps to hedge against a credit event, to gain exposure to certain securities or markets, or to enhance total return; and index swaps to enhance return or to affect diversification. Any derivatives that provide exposure to the investment focus suggested by the Fund’s name, or to one or more market risk factors associated with the investment focus suggested by the Fund’s name, are counted (as applicable) toward compliance with the Fund’s 80% policy.</div><div>The 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.</div> The Fund is an actively managed ETF that, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in US and foreign debt securities, including those in emerging markets (80% policy). The Fund is an actively managed ETF that, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in US and foreign debt securities, including those in emerging markets (80% policy). For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, debt securities include all varieties of fixed, variable and floating rate income securities, including bonds, US and foreign government and agency securities, corporate loans (and loan participations), collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities. Investing in any exchange-traded fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. <div>Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that the prices of bonds and other fixed income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. Bonds and other fixed income securities with longer maturities or duration generally are more sensitive to interest rate changes. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Credit risk — The risk that an issuer of a debt security, including a governmental issuer or an entity that insures a bond, may be unable to make interest payments and/or repay principal in a timely manner.</div> <div>High yield (junk) bond risk — The risk that high yield securities, commonly known as “junk bonds,” are subject to reduced creditworthiness of issuers, increased risk of default, and a more limited and less liquid secondary market. High yield securities may also be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss of income and principal than are higher-rated securities.</div> <div>Liquidity risk — The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a fund has valued them.</div> <div>Loans and other direct indebtedness risk — The risk that a fund will not receive payment of principal, interest, and other amounts due in connection with these investments and will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower and the lending institution. A fund’s ability to sell its loans or to realize their full value upon sale may also be impaired due to the lack of an active trading market, irregular trading activity, wide </div><div>bid/ask spreads, contractual restrictions, and extended trade settlement periods. In addition, certain loans in which a fund invests may not be considered securities. A fund therefore may not be able to rely upon the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws with respect to these investments.</div> <div>Adjustable rate securities risk — During periods of rising interest rates, because changes in interest rates on adjustable rate securities may lag behind changes in market rates, the value of such securities may decline until their interest rates reset to market rates. During periods of declining interest rates, because the interest rates on adjustable rate securities generally reset downward, their market value is unlikely to rise to the same extent as the value of comparable fixed rate securities.</div> <div>Foreign and emerging markets risk — The risk that investments in foreign securities (particularly those of issuers in emerging markets) may be adversely affected by political instability; changes in currency exchange rates; inefficient markets and higher transaction costs; foreign economic conditions; the imposition of economic or trade sanctions; or inadequate or different regulatory and accounting standards. Securities of issuers in emerging markets may be subject to greater risks than securities of issuers in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets may have less stable political and economic environments. In addition, there often is substantially less publicly available information about issuers and such information tends to be of a lesser quality. Economic markets and structures tend to be less mature and diverse and the securities markets may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility. In addition, where all or a portion of a fund’s underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market in which the fund’s shares are listed and trading is open, there may be differences between the last quote from the security’s closed foreign market and the value of the security during the fund’s domestic trading day. This in turn could lead to differences between the market price of a fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares.</div> <div>Currency risk — The risk that fluctuations in exchange rates between the US dollar and foreign currencies and between various foreign currencies may cause the value of an investment to decline.</div> <div>Derivatives risk — Derivatives contracts, such as futures, forward foreign currency contracts, options, and swaps, may involve additional expenses (such as the payment of premiums) and are subject to significant loss if a security, index, reference rate, or other asset or market factor to which a derivatives contract is associated, moves in an unanticipated direction. When used for hedging, the change in value of the derivatives instrument may also not correlate specifically with the currency, rate, or other risk being hedged, in which case a fund may not realize the intended benefits. Derivatives contracts are also subject to the risk that the counterparty may fail to perform its obligations under the contract due to, among other reasons, financial difficulties (such as a bankruptcy or reorganization).</div> <div>Leveraging risk — The risk that certain transactions, such as reverse repurchase agreements, short sales, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, or derivatives instruments, may give rise to leverage, causing a fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged, which may result in increased losses to the fund.</div> <div>Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk — Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, like other fixed income securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk, and may also be subject to prepayment risk and extension risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities may be prepaid at any time, which will reduce the yield and market value of the securities and may cause the fund to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Extension risk is the risk that principal on mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities will be repaid more slowly than expected, which may reduce the proceeds available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. In addition, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, become more volatile, face difficulties in valuation, or experience reduced liquidity due to changes in interest rates or general economic conditions. Certain mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, real estate mortgage investment conduits, and stripped mortgage-backed securities, may be more susceptible to these risks than other mortgage-backed, asset-backed, or fixed-income securities.</div> <div>Collateralized loan obligation risk — The risks of investing in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) include liquidity risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk, valuation risk, and the risk of default of the underlying asset, among others, and represent both the economic risks of the underlying loans held by the CLO as well as the risks associated with the CLO structure governing the priority of payments. The degree of such risk will generally correspond to the specific tranche in which a fund is invested, with lower-rated CLO tranches often subordinate to higher-rated tranches in terms of payment priority and therefore subject to relatively greater risk. To the extent a CLO or its underlying loans experience default or are having difficulty making principal and/or interest payments, CLOs could experience losses due to actual defaults, market anticipation of defaults, or negative market sentiment toward CLO securities as an asset class. These risks may be exacerbated to the extent that a fund invests in CLO securities that are rated below investment grade.</div> <div>Prepayment risk — The risk that the principal on a bond that is held by a fund will be prepaid prior to maturity at a time when interest rates are lower than what that bond was paying. A fund may then have to reinvest that money at a lower interest rate.</div> <div>Valuation risk — The risk that a less liquid secondary market may make it more difficult for a fund to obtain precise valuations of certain securities in its portfolio.</div> <div>Portfolio turnover risk — High portfolio turnover rates may increase a fund’s transaction costs and lower returns.</div> <div>US government securities risk — The risk that certain US government securities, such as securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Bank system (FHLB), are not backed by the “faith and credit” of the US government and, instead, may be supported only by the credit of the issuer or by the right of the issuer to borrow from the US Treasury.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect fund performance.</div> <div>Active management and selection risk — The risk that the securities selected by a fund’s management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.</div> <div>ETF risk — The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: “Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk,” “Cash transactions risk,” “Secondary market trading risk” and “Shares may trade at prices other than NAV risk.”</div><div> <table cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:2pt;margin-left:0%;" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="color:#000000;padding-top:0pt;width:2%;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-left:0pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;size:3;"> <div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">●</div> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-top:2pt;width:98%;padding-left:2pt;align:left;vertical-align:top;text-align:left;"> <div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk — Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a fund. A fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace, and they have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. To the extent either of the following events occur, a fund’s shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs 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. These events, among others, may lead to a fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. A diminished market for an ETF’s shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold.</div> </td> </tr> </table></div><div> <table cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:2pt;margin-left:0%;" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="color:#000000;padding-top:0pt;width:2%;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-left:0pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;size:3;"> <div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">●</div> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-top:2pt;width:98%;padding-left:2pt;align:left;vertical-align:top;text-align:left;"> <div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cash transactions risk — A fund may effect some or all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities.

This may cause a fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind.

In addition, trading in a fund’s shares on the Exchange may be halted. An exchange or market may also issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments.

A fund’s NAV is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings, while the trading price of the shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours on the Exchange, based on both the relative market supply of, and demand for, the shares and the underlying value of the fund’s holdings. As a result, although it is expected that the market price of a fund’s shares will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of a fund’s shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount).

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested, at the time of purchase, in common stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies (80% policy). For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, small-capitalization companies typically are companies with market capitalizations similar to those of issuers included in the Russell 2500TM Index at the time of purchase and mid-capitalization companies are those within the market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Index at the time of purchase. As of June 30, 2026, the range of market capitalizations for the Russell 2500 Index was between approximately $45 million and $30.6 billion, and the range of market capitalizations for the Russell Midcap Index was between approximately $717 million and $92.6 billion.</div><div>The Manager researches individual companies and analyzes economic and market conditions, seeking to identify the securities or market sectors that it believes are the best investments for the Fund. The following are descriptions of how the portfolio management team pursues the Fund’s investment objective. The Manager strives to identify stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies that it believes offer above-average opportunities for long-term price appreciation based on: (1) attractive valuations, (2) growth prospects, and (3) strong cash flow. The Fund employs bottom-up (stock-by-stock) security selection utilizing quantitative screens, fundamental research, and risk control to evaluate stocks based on both growth and value characteristics. The Manager typically uses a quantitative screen that ranks the attractiveness of an investment based on a combination of valuation measures, earnings expectations, cash flow, and balance-sheet quality. In further evaluating the attractiveness of an investment, the Manager considers factors such as business conditions in the company’s industry and its competitive position in that industry. The Manager conducts fundamental research on certain investments, which often includes reviewing US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, examining financial statements, and meeting with top-level company executives. When constructing the portfolio, the Manager applies controls to ensure the portfolio has risk characteristics that it deems acceptable. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, size, valuation, growth, yield, and earnings consistency. This risk profile is then compared to the benchmark index to ensure the portfolio does not have any unintended risk exposure.</div><div>The 80% policy is nonfundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. Fund shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ notice prior to any such change.</div> Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of the Fund’s net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, will be invested, at the time of purchase, in common stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies (80% policy).

Investing in any exchange-traded fund involves the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest. Over time, the value of your investment in the Fund will increase and decrease according to changes in the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio. An investment in the Fund may not be appropriate for all investors. <div>Market risk — The risk that all or a majority of the securities in a certain market — such as the stock or bond market — will decline in value because of factors such as adverse political or economic conditions, future expectations, investor confidence, or heavy institutional selling.</div> <div>Company size risk — The risk that investments in small- and/or medium-sized companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies because of limited financial resources or dependence on narrow product lines.</div> <div>Industry and sector risk — The risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or sector (such as industrials) will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or sector.</div> <div>Industrials sector risk — The risk that the value of a fund’s shares will be affected by factors particular to the industrials and related sectors (such as government regulation) and may fluctuate more widely than that of a fund that invests in a broad range of sectors.</div> <div>Interest rate risk — The risk that securities will decrease in value if interest rates rise. The risk is generally associated with bonds; however, because small- and medium-sized companies and companies in the real estate sector often borrow money to finance their operations, they may be adversely affected by rising interest rates. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.</div> <div>Liquidity risk — The possibility that investments cannot be readily sold within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which a fund has valued them.</div> <div>Government and regulatory risk — The risk that governments or regulatory authorities may take actions that could adversely affect various sectors of the securities markets and affect fund performance.</div> <div>Active management and selection risk — The risk that the securities selected by a fund’s management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices, or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The securities and sectors selected may vary from the securities and sectors included in the relevant index.</div> <div>ETF risk — The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: “Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk,” “Secondary market trading risk” and “Shares may trade at prices other than NAV risk.”</div><div> <table cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:2pt;padding-right:2%;padding-left:0%;" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="color:#000000;padding-top:0pt;width:2%;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-left:0pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;size:3;"> <div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">●</div> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-top:2pt;width:98%;padding-left:2pt;align:left;vertical-align:top;text-align:left;"> <div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Authorized participants, market makers and liquidity providers concentration risk — Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with a fund. A fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace, and they have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders. To the extent either of the following events occur, a fund’s shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs 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. These events, among others, may lead to a fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. A diminished market for an ETF’s shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold.</div> </td> </tr> </table></div><div> <table cellspacing="0" style="padding-top:2pt;margin-left:0%;" width="100%"> <tr> <td style="color:#000000;padding-top:0pt;width:2%;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-left:0pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:top;size:3;"> <div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">●</div> </td> <td style="vertical-align:top;padding-bottom:0pt;padding-top:2pt;width:98%;padding-left:2pt;align:left;vertical-align:top;text-align:left;"> <div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Secondary market trading risk — Although a fund’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange, NYSE Arca, Inc.

In addition, trading in a fund’s shares on the Exchange may be halted. An exchange or market may also issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments.

A fund’s NAV is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings, while the trading price of the shares fluctuates continuously throughout trading hours on the Exchange, based on both the relative market supply of, and demand for, the shares and the underlying value of the fund’s holdings. As a result, although it is expected that the market price of the a fund’s shares will approximate the fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of a fund’s shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.</div> </td> </tr> </table></div> How has Nomura Small and Mid Cap ETF performed? <div>The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.
