Investment objective & strategy
As of Oct. 28, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Strive U.S. Energy ETF (the Fund) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of an index composed of U.S.-listed equities in the energy sector (the Index).
Strategy. The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg US Energy Select Index (the Index), which measures the performance of U.S. oil and gas producers. The Index is designed by Bloomberg Index Services Limited (the Index Provider) and consists of U.S. equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. energy companies. The Fund defines U.S. energy companies as those listed on U.S. exchanges that are in the energy industry or sector. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a security must (i) be a member of the Bloomberg US 1500 Index (a free-float market-capitalization-weighted index of the 1500 … The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg US Energy Select Index (the Index), which measures the performance of U.S. oil and gas producers. The Index is designed by Bloomberg Index Services Limited (the Index Provider) and consists of U.S. equity securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S. energy companies. The Fund defines U.S. energy companies as those listed on U.S. exchanges that are in the energy industry or sector. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a security must (i) be a member of the Bloomberg US 1500 Index (a free-float market-capitalization-weighted index of the 1500 most highly capitalized U.S. companies); and (ii) belong to the integrated oils, exploration & production, or refining & marketing sub-industries according to the Bloomberg Industry Classification System. The Index is a free float-adjusted capitalization-weighted ( i.e. , market capitalization based on the number of shares available to the public) index. Constituents weights are capped such that no constituents weight exceeds 22.5% and the cumulative weight of all constituents with weight greater than 4.5% does not exceed 45%. Any excess weight from capping is distributed proportionally to all the remaining uncapped constituents until the weighting conditions are satisfied. The weight of one or more securities in the Index may exceed these limits due to fluctuations in market value, corporate actions, or other events that change the Index composition between rebalance and reconstitution dates. The Index includes large- and mid-capitalization companies. The Index was established in 2024 and is owned and maintained by the Index Provider. Substantially all of the Index is expected to be represented by securities of companies in the energy industry or sector. Such companies generally include companies engaged in the exploration, production, refinement, and marketing of oil and gas, including integrated oil companies which engage in a combination of these activities across the value chain. The components of the Index are likely to change over time. The Index is calculated as a total return index in U.S. dollars. The Index is normally reconstituted semi-annually in March and September and rebalanced quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Strive Asset Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser) uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve the Funds investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the index it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Indexing seeks to achieve lower costs and better after-tax performance by aiming to keep portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to seek to achieve its investment objective, meaning the Fund will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportions as in the Index, but may, when the Sub-Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, use a representative sampling strategy, meaning the Fund may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. The Fund will be considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. The Fund will concentrate its investments ( i.e. , hold 25% or more of its total assets) in the energy industry to approximately the same extent that the Index is so concentrated.
