| Investment Objective: |
The Fund is an actively managed ETF that, under normal market conditions, will invest in equity securities of companies that the Advisor and SubAdvisor believe to be best positioned to take advantage of long-term megatrends. Long-term megatrends are driven by changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, and environmental sustainability, which can lead to significant increases in their markets, earnings trajectories, and market capitalizations. As part of the investment process, the Advisors seek to identify potential opportunities created by changes in technology, consumer preferences, demographics, regulatory, environmental and supply/demand dynamics that unfold over long periods of time ("secular trends") and the companies that can significantly benefit and profit from such trends. Through a proprietary research driven process, the Advisors analyze companies across sectors and secular trends or "themes" (e.g., green energy, online shopping or cybersecurity) to try to identify for investment those companies it believes to be "thematic winners" (companies that the Advisors believe can benefit from positive secular trends or "themes") with reasonable valuations. The Advisors will sell a security when it believes the outlook for outperformance has deteriorated. |
