There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve its investment objective. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Because the Funds are ETFs (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.
The Funds also have specific principal investment risks, which are described below. More detailed information regarding these risks can be found each Fund’s prospectus.
Active and frequent trading of portfolio securities may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund and may also result in higher taxes if Shares are held in a taxable account.
Derivatives/Futures Risk. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the underlying assets, including counterparty, leverage, and liquidity risks. The Fund may participate in futures markets, which are highly volatile. Downside Protection Model Risk. Neither the Adviser nor the Sub Adviser can offer assurances that the downside protection model employed by the Underlying Index methodology will achieve its intended results, or that downside protection will be provided during periods of time when the Equity Portfolio is declining or during any period-of-time deemed to be a bear market. Investment in a fund that utilizes a downside protection model that seeks to minimize risk only during certain prolonged bear market environments may not be appropriate for every investor seeking a particular risk profile. Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) – investing is defined as utilizing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria as a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. A strategy or emphasis on ESG may limit the investment opportunities available to a portfolio. Therefore, the Fund may underperform or perform differently than other portfolios that do not have an ESG investment focus. Foreign Securities. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than investments in domestic securities. Index Based Strategy. 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 the relevant market-as-a-whole, which could cause the Fund’s returns to be lower if the fund employed an active strategy. Investments in Other ETFs. Because the Fund invests in ETFs, an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the underlying funds, including illiquidity, and an investment in the Fund will entail more costs and expenses than a direct investment in the Underlying ETFs. Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) Risk. An MLP is a publicly traded partnerships primarily engaged in the transportation, storage, processing, refining, marketing, exploration, production, and mining of minerals and natural resources. MLP common units, like other equity securities, can be affected by macroeconomic and other factors affecting the stock market in general. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) Risk. A REIT is a company that pools investor funds to invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. The Fund may be subject to certain risks associated with direct investments in REITs. Small and Mid-Cap Securities. Investments in the Fund include risks associated with small-and mid-cap securities, which involve limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-cap securities.
