| Investment Objective: |
The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and option contracts that give economic exposure to equity securities of U.S. small capitalization companies. The Fund is an actively managed ETF that, under normal market circumstances, seeks to provide capital appreciation through uncapped participation in the small-capitalization U.S. equity markets while seeking to limit any losses. Pursuant to its investment objective, the Fund intends to invest in a diversified portfolio of equity securities (the "Equity Portfolio") that are representative of the Solactive United States 2000 Index (the "Equity Portfolio Index"), together with put and call option contracts (the "Options Portfolio") in an effort to reduce the potential for losses. The Sub-Adviser will actively monitor the performance of the portfolio and, selectively ladder the Options Portfolio to seek to protect capital. The Fund seeks to provide a series of "buffers" that each seek to protect the Fund against 10% of the Russell 2000 Price Return Index (the "U.S. Small Cap Index") losses, as measured at the end of one-year periods and prior to taking into account the Fund's annual management fee and other fees, which will have the effect of reducing the buffer amount experienced by Fund shareholders. |
