RYSE is an active fund whose portfolio is constructed with the aim of delivering positive returns, before any fees and expenses, when the 10-year interest rate (the “10-Year Rate”) rises. The Fund is expected to experience losses when the 10-Year Rate falls. The 10-Year Rate is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by Treasury securities compounded over a period of 10 years. To achieve its investment objective of hedging against increases in the 10- Year Rate, the Fund invests in various derivatives (including futures, options, interest rate swaps, and swaptions). The Fund may take long positions in interest rate swaps to seek to benefit from rising interest rates. The Fund may also invest in ETFs that invest in U.S. Treasury bills or options contracts linked to ETFs that primarily invest in U.S. Treasury securities to implement the Fund’s hedging strategy. The Fund invests in U.S. Treasury bills as collateral for the Fund’s derivatives transactions. In addition, the Fund will take long or short positions in interest rate payer or receiver swaptions to limit losses and gains. By taking these positions to limit losses, the upside cap (described below) is a by-product of seeking to limit the downside losses.

RSBT seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in two complimentary investment strategies: a bond strategy and a managed futures strategy. The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in two complimentary investment strategies, a bond strategy, and a Managed Futures strategy. The Fund uses leverage to “stack” the total return of holdings in the Fund’s bond strategy together with the potential returns of the Fund’s Managed Futures strategy. Essentially, one dollar invested in the Fund provides about one dollar of exposure to the Fund’s bond investments and close to another dollar of exposure to investments in the Fund’s Managed Futures strategy (the amount is slightly less than a dollar due to the cost of financing). So, the return of the Fund’s Managed Futures strategy is stacked on top of the returns of the Fund’s bond strategy.

The Fund concentrates its investments (i.e., invests more than 25% of its net assets) in the securities of issuers in the biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare technology, and life science tools and services industries. Each of these industries are commonly categorized within the healthcare sector because they share similar economic features and regulatory constraints.
UNIY employs a passive management or indexing, investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. The Index is comprised of USD-denominated bonds. The Index deconstructs the USD-denominated bond market, as represented by USD-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment grade or high yield, into one of the five categories of debt described below. The constituents in each category, except for US Investment Grade Debt, are weighted by market capitalization. The weighting of the constituents in the US Investment Grade Debt category is determined by the Index Provider’s proprietary weighting methodology.

SUPP is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that invests in U.S.-listed equity, American depositary receipt (“ADR”) securities, and non-U.S. developed and emerging market-listed securities, which over time may vary as market and investment opportunities change. The Fund may also enter into currency-related spot transactions when it transacts in equities denominated in foreign currencies or invest in certain derivative instruments, such as currency futures or forwards that will help the Adviser manage risk associated with foreign currency exposure, if any, or futures contracts. The Fund’s investments may include micro-, small-, medium- and large-capitalization equities of companies. The Adviser expects to hold between 20-60 equities within the Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser expects to invest in the equities of companies that it deems are creating value through supply chain transformation. A supply chain is defined as a network between a company and its suppliers to produce and distribute a specific product to the final buyer. According to the Adviser, companies are transforming their own or others’ supply chains by reshoring manufacturing jobs (i.e., bringing jobs closer to point of sale, stabilizing manufacturing capacity, reducing disruption and geopolitical risks, enhancing sourcing transparency and increasing emissions and environmental impact standards), automating and/or innovating business operations (i.e., offsetting labor cost disadvantage of high-cost countries by boosting output per worker, streamlining business operations to drive lower costs, and improving labor conditions for workers), or through transportation enablement (i.e., providing manufacturers with reliable and affordable access to raw materials, while also facilitating movement of finished goods to end market).
