Expense Ratio: 0.69%. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (toll free 800-617-0004). Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

The fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about investment company, and it may be obtained by calling +1 (800) 617-0004. Read it carefully before investing.

Fund holdings and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security.

**The 30-Day SEC Yield is computed under an SEC standardized formula based on net income earned over the past 30 days.

There is no guarantee that ABOT will achieve its investment objective. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Because the Fund is an ETF (rather than a mutual fund), shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV, and are not individually redeemable. Owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 25,000 shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Investments in the Fund include risks associated with small-and mid-cap securities, which involve limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-cap securities.

Passive funds that seek to track an index may hold the component securities of the underlying index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or relevant market as a whole, which could cause the Fund returns to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of its Index.

FCF US Quality Innovation Index tracks the performance of a rules-based strategy that seeks to provide exposure to U.S. equities with strong Free Cash Flow and R&D Investment, selected by a proprietary Free Cash Flow Innovation factor model.

The Russell 1000 Index is a stock market index that tracks the highest-ranking 1,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index, which represent about 90% of the total market capitalization of that index. The Russell 1000 Growth index is an index that tracks large cap, growth stocks.

Free Cash Flow (FCF) represents the cash that a company is able to generate after accounting for capital expenditures.

Market Price: The current price at which shares are bought and sold. Market returns are based upon last trade price. NAV: The dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.

Opinions expressed are subject to change, are not guaranteed, and should not be considered investment advice.
