Investment objective & strategy
As of Sept. 26, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Adaptive Hedged Multi-Asset Income ETF (the Fund) seeks total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income.
Strategy. As an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Fund will not seek to replicate the performance of an index. The Advisor seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective of total return by investing in other investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and not affiliated with the Fund (Portfolio Funds) or by making direct investments in individual securities . The Funds portfolio will consist of a mix of direct and indirect investments through Portfolio Funds and each may be all of the Funds portfolio or none of the Funds portfolio at any given time.

The Advisor seeks to achieve the Funds investment objective of total return by investing in other investment companies, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and not affiliated with the Fund (Portfolio Funds) or by making direct investments in individual securities . The Funds portfolio will consist of a mix of direct and indirect investments through Portfolio Funds and each may be all of the Funds portfolio or none of the Funds portfolio at any given time. The Funds fixed income investments, both direct and indirect through Portfolio Funds, may include mortgage backed securities, asset backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, non-agency mortgage backed securities, corporate investment grade securities, convertible securities, high yield-high risk bonds (commonly known as junk bonds), securities issued or guaranteed by certain U.S. Government agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises, exchange traded notes (ETNs) and global debt securities. The Funds equity investments, both direct and indirect through Portfolio Funds, may include dividend paying equity securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and preferred securities. The Funds equity investments will not be limited by sector criteria or market capitalization. In addition to its indirect investments, the Fund may also invest directly in put and call options on index ETFs, sector ETFs, individual equities, and cash and cash equivalents as part of its risk management strategy. The Funds allocation of its assets into various asset classes will depend on the views of the Advisor as to the best value relative to what is currently presented in the marketplace. The Fund may invest in ETF or ETN equity strategies that follow a buy-write investment strategy also known as covered call strategy in which a fund purchases a security and also writes (or sells) call options that correspond to the security. The Fund may also invest in individual equities, equity index ETFs , or fixed income ETFs and follow a buy-write investment strategy. The Funds fixed income securities may be of any maturity and any credit rating, including below investment grade securities (commonly referred to as junk). The below investment grade securities will include corporate bonds, securities of issuers in default, unrated securities, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. The Funds fixed income investments will also include commodity based ETNs and ETFs. The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests do not have an established average portfolio duration and the average portfolio durations will vary. Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond or other debt instrument to a change in interest rates. In general, the higher the duration, the more a bonds price will drop as interest rates rise (and the greater the interest rate risk). For example, if rates were to rise 1%, a bond or bond fund with a five-year average duration would likely lose approximately 5% of its value. The Fund will not be limited in its investments by sector criteria, and may invest in foreign securities, including foreign securities in emerging markets. The Advisor uses an investment model for analyzing market trends. The investment model includes factors such as price momentum, volatility, comparative indicators relative to certain indices and a recession model (a model that measures the probability of a recession within the next several months based on leading economic indicators). The Advisor utilizes research and valuation metrics to determine which fixed income asset classes have the greatest potential for producing positive performance and income, with a focus on capturing upside performance while protecting against loss. Valuation metrics are measures of a companys performance, financial health and prospects for future earnings by comparing the markets opinion (share price) to actual reported earnings to help predict a companys prospects. The fixed income Portfolio Funds are selected based on liquidity, cost, and tracking error (degree to which an ETF that is not actively managed follows its index). The dividend paying equity securities are selected based on dividend yield and diversification. The preferred securities and REITs are selected based on their yield relative to traditional fixed income sectors. When the Advisors model indicates a negative market trend, the Fund may hedge the Funds portfolio by investing in ETFs that invest in treasury bonds, exchange traded notes (ETNs), and leveraged ETFs (ETFs that seek to deliver multiples of the performance of the index or benchmark they track) and inverse ETFs (ETFs that seek to deliver the opposite of the performance of the index or benchmark they track). The leveraged ETFs hedge the Funds portfolio by offsetting equity allocations without need to sell the long equity positions. The Fund may hold significant cash or inverse ETF positions during unfavorable market conditions. The Fund will employ a risk management strategy intended to manage the volatility of the Funds returns and manage the overall risk of investing in the Fund. The risk management strategy monitors technical metrics on equity indices that may identify periods where there is potential for higher equity market risk. These technical metrics use mathematically based tools to identify positive or negative trends in equity indices, so, when the technical metrics identify a negative trend, there may be a potential for higher equity market risk. When periods of declining equity markets are more likely, the risk management strategy will reduce equity exposure. When employing this risk management strategy, the Fund may allocate a significant percentage of its assets to cash and cash equivalents. When employing the risk management strategy, in addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Fund may utilize a hedge overlay for downside protection, which will include put and call options and ETFs that have exposure to changes in volatility or offer inverse performance to equity markets (inverse ETFs). The hedge overlay will be used when the Advisor believes there is the potential for higher risk of loss in equity markets. The Fund intends to invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary will invest its assets in ETNs and ETFs that provide exposure to commodities. The Funds commodity exposure is intended to provide income and asset class diversification to the Fund. The Advisor will sell a portfolio security when a more attractive investment opportunity is identified, or the Funds portfolio needs to be rebalanced due to increases or decreases in the Funds net assets. The Advisor identifies attractive investment opportunities based on its research, which includes the relative value of income producing assets and asset classes. In making its determination, the Advisor will analyze the performance, correlations, drawdowns (a measure of a peak-to-trough decline during a specific period for an investment), up and down capture (a statistical measure of overall performance in up and down markets), fees and expenses, and dividend or income payments of securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments.
