Strategy. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF).

To pursue its investment objective, the Fund invests, under normal market circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies from foreign countries, or depositary receipts representing such securities. The Fund considers an issuer to be from a foreign country if: (i) its securities are organized under the laws of a foreign country or the issuer maintains its principal place of business in a foreign country; (ii) its securities are traded principally in a foreign country; or (iii) during the issuer's most recent fiscal year, it derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a foreign country or has at least 50% of its assets in a foreign country. The companies in which the Fund primarily invests are those from developed foreign markets, although the Fund will also invest a portion of its assets in companies located in emerging markets (i.e., those that are in the early stages of their economic development). The Fund seeks to invest in stocks of the most profitable companies that exhibit fundamental characteristics associated with the potential for long-term capital appreciation, as identified by Abacus FCF Advisors LLC (the Adviser) through extensive historical research. While the Adviser evaluates companies of any market capitalization, the final portfolio primarily consists of large- and mid-cap companies. The Adviser utilizes its proprietary Abacus FCF Leaders Model (the Model) to evaluate securities in the investment universe and scores them based on free cash flow return on invested capital (FCF-ROIC). The Model assesses companies through a detailed analysis of factors such as capital expenditure, accruals, cash flow margins and asset turnover to identify companies with strong and sustainable profitability. These securities are assigned active weights primarily based on their FCF-ROIC characteristics, with adjustments reflecting the Advisers systematic evaluation of company-specific risk in the context of the business cycle. These active weights are integrated with free-float market capitalization weights and rescaled to construct the final portfolio, seeking to ensure high-conviction exposure to companies with strong FCF-ROIC metrics. During earnings seasons, the Adviser typically implements more substantial adjustments to the Funds portfolio based on updated Model outputs. However, the Adviser continuously monitors the portfolio and retains discretion to make modifications to the Funds portfolio at any time, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board), to better capture daily updates and opportunities identified by the Model. The Adviser executes trades for the Funds portfolio based on insights generated by the Model. To implement the Models outputs efficiently, the Adviser: (a) selects trading vehicles (e.g., stocks or depositary receipts) with an emphasis on liquidity and cost-effectiveness; (b) manages cash positions to address operational requirements or market disruptions deemed extreme by the Adviser; and (c) executes trades to maintain portfolio alignment following corporate actions (e.g., mergers, spinoffs or restructurings). The Fund can use derivative instruments, including exchange-traded futures contracts, to seek to protect the Fund's current or intended investments from broad fluctuations in securities prices. The Adviser may engage in active and frequent trading of the Funds portfolio securities to achieve the Funds investment objective. From time to time the Fund may focus its investment (i.e., invest more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors or geographic regions. As of September 30, 2025, the Fund focuses its investments in Asia and Europe, and also in the information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors.
