Investment objective & strategy
As of Sept. 26, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The EA Astoria Dynamic Core US Fixed Income ETF (the Fund) seeks current income.
Strategy. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in other U.S. fixed income ETFs (Underlying U.S. Fixed Income Funds). Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes) directly or indirectly in U.S. fixed income securities. The Fund operates as a fund of funds and allocates its assets among Underlying U.S. Fixed Income Funds that invest in a variety of fixed income sectors, including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasuries and other debt securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and high-yield bonds.

The Fund operates as a fund of funds and allocates its assets among Underlying U.S. Fixed Income Funds that invest in a variety of fixed income sectors, including, but not limited to, U.S. Treasuries and other debt securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, municipal bonds, and high-yield bonds. The Fund generally considers a fixed income security to be a U.S. security if: (i) at least 50% of the issuers assets are located in the United States; (ii) at least 50% of the issuers revenue is generated in the United States; (iii) the issuer is organized, conducts its principal operations, or maintains its principal place of business or principal manufacturing facilities in the United States; or (iv) the issuers securities are traded principally in the United States. The Fund may also invest at times in other ETFs that provide exposure to fixed-income securities of non-U.S. issuers (together with Underlying U.S. Fixed Income Funds, Underlying Funds), including emerging market debt securities, which would typically include countries such as China, India, Taiwan, Thailand, Russia, and others. The Fund, however, defers to each Underlying Funds definition of U.S. and emerging markets, and the Underlying Funds definitions may differ from one another. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any credit quality and any maturity. The Funds investment strategy is designed to provide core fixed income exposure while seeking to outperform traditional broad-based fixed income benchmarks through active management. The Fund targets a diversified allocation to Underlying Funds representing what the Sub-Adviser identifies as key sectors of the fixed income market (e.g., U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities), with adjustments made to reflect current market conditions, credit risk, and interest rate dynamics. The Funds active management approach seeks to optimize risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle. Beacon Capital Management, Inc. (Beacon) and Astoria Portfolio Advisors, LLC (Astoria and collectively with Beacon, the Sub-Advisers) will serve as the Sub-Advisers for the Fund. In seeking to generate outperformance, the Sub-Advisers employ a proprietary investment process to determine the Funds allocations among asset classes, utilizing fundamental analysis that includes: Rate Analysis: Assessing macroeconomic indicators, monetary policy, and market expectations to form a view on the direction of interest rates. This analysis helps guide the Funds allocation to duration-sensitive sectors such as U.S. Treasuries or investment-grade corporate bonds. Credit Analysis: Evaluating credit quality trends, spreads, and risk-reward opportunities within various sectors to identify attractive Underlying Funds with exposure to higher-yielding securities, such as high-yield bonds or emerging market debt. Sector Allocation: Adjusting the Funds allocations to specific fixed income sectors based on their relative valuation and risk characteristics, while maintaining a focus on diversification and downside protection. It is expected that the Fund will generally hold 5 to 15 Underlying Funds. The Funds portfolio management team regularly reviews and rebalances the Funds holdings to align with its investment objectives and market outlook. While the Fund seeks to maintain a core allocation to fixed income, it may overweight or underweight particular sectors or asset classes within its fixed income investments in response to changes in market conditions or as part of its active strategy. The Underlying Funds selected for inclusion in the portfolio may include both actively managed and passively managed ETFs. The Fund may also invest in cash or cash equivalents for liquidity or defensive purposes. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, which means it can invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund and can invest more of its assets in securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund. The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in one or more ETFs.
