Strategy. The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of U.S. companies that pay dividends annually, with an emphasis on stocks that have a strong track record of paying quarterly dividends or that are expected to increase their dividends over the next one to five years. The Fund seeks to generate a growing stream of equity income by investing in a select portfolio of high-quality businesses that the Funds sub-advisor, Berkshire Asset Management LLC (Berkshire or the Sub-Advisor), believes generally have a high, stable, and growing dividend.

The Fund seeks to generate a growing stream of equity income by investing in a select portfolio of high-quality businesses that the Funds sub-advisor, Berkshire Asset Management LLC (Berkshire or the Sub-Advisor), believes generally have a high, stable, and growing dividend. The Sub-Advisor focuses on a companys regular, periodic dividends in its analysis of dividend growth, but may also take into account past payments of special dividends, meaning a non-recurring, one-time dividend distributed to a companys stockholders. The Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher at the time of initial purchase. The Fund seeks to invest in companies that have a current dividend yield that is at least as high as the S&P 500 Index average yield. The Fund may invest in companies with a lower dividend yield, however, if the Sub-Advisor believes that those companies have a clear path to paying higher dividends. In selecting investments for the Fund, the Sub-Advisor considers the amount of a companys current dividend yield, the stability of the dividend, and the growth of the dividend. The Sub-Advisor evaluates a companys balance sheet as it relates to the stability of the dividend, including how the amount of a companys leverage could potentially impact that dividend. In addition, the Sub-Advisor looks for companies that have a history of dividend growth, as well as prospects for future dividend growth. In assessing dividend growth, the Sub-Advisor looks for companies with strong return on equity, which is a measure of a companys profitability in relation to its stockholders equity. The Funds portfolio is comprised of 30 to 40 high-quality companies that the Sub-Advisor views as reasonably priced, where the companies are paying and growing dividends over a period of time of one to five years. The Fund seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted returns when compared to both the Russell 1000 Value Index and S&P 500 Index. The Fund may focus its investments from time to time in one or more sectors of the economy or stock market as a result of the implementation of its principal investment strategies, but sector focus is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign equity securities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued in connection with a U.S. or foreign bank or trust company that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The Fund will not invest in cryptocurrency or digital assets or cryptocurrency or digital asset derivatives. Securities may be sold if they underperform or to implement a revised allocation based on a modified view of market conditions. The Fund may also sell a security when the Sub-Advisor believes that the security is overvalued or better investment opportunities are available, to invest in cash and cash equivalents, or to meet redemptions.
