Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than diversified funds. Therefore, the Funds are more exposed to individual stock volatility than diversified funds.

The Funds may invest in options, the Funds risk losing all or part of the cash paid (premium) for purchasing put and call options. The Funds’ use of call and put options can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying security, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. The Funds’ use of options may reduce the ability to profit from increases in the value of the underlying securities. Derivatives, such as the options in which the Funds invest, can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in a derivative could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Funds. The Funds could experience a loss if its derivatives do not perform as anticipated, the derivatives are not correlated with the performance of their underlying security, or if the Funds are unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. Equity-Linked Notes (“ELNs”) Risk. Investing in ELNs may be more costly to a Fund than if the Fund had invested in the Underlying Instruments directly. Investments in ELNs often have risks similar to the Underlying Instruments, which include market risk and, as applicable, foreign securities and currency risk. Fixed Income Securities Risk. The Fund invests in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities, such as bonds, involve certain risks, which include credit risk and interest rate risk. Futures Contracts Risk. A decision as to whether, when, and how to use futures involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well-conceived futures transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision.

The Funds may invest in other investment companies and ETFs which may result in higher and duplicative expenses. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Investing in ETFs are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Funds ability to sell its shares.

Definitions: Free cash flow (FCF) is a measure of a company’s financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base. Call options give the owner the right to buy the underlying security at the specified price within a specific time period. Put options give the owner the right to sell the underlying security at the specified price within a specific time period. A collar is an options strategy constructed by holding shares of the underlying stock while simultaneously buying put options and selling call options against that holding. 30 Day Median Bid Ask is a calculation of Fund’s median bid-ask spread, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth, computed by: identifying the Fund’s national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days; dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer; and identifying the median of those values.

Diversification is not a guarantee of performance.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at Market Price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread a 4:00pm Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined for most ETF’s), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
