Investment objective & strategy
As of March 25, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The Cambria Endowment Style ETF (the Fund) seeks income and capital appreciation.
Strategy. The Fund is actively managed and is designed to provide exposure to multiple major asset classes ( e.g. , equities, fixed income, and real assets and alternatives) in U.S., foreign developed, and emerging markets. The Fund seeks opportunities for positive returns independent of the direction of the overall market with an aggressive risk profile by investing primarily in a portfolio of U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded products (collectively with exchange-traded funds, Underlying ETFs), or individual equities. The Fund may at times employ leverage by investing in exchange-traded futures contracts to gain additional exposure to certain markets or assets. Futures contracts have an inherent leverage built into them since, by posting a specified margin, an investor can achieve much larger notional exposure. … The Fund is actively managed and is designed to provide exposure to multiple major asset classes ( e.g. , equities, fixed income, and real assets and alternatives) in U.S., foreign developed, and emerging markets. The Fund seeks opportunities for positive returns independent of the direction of the overall market with an aggressive risk profile by investing primarily in a portfolio of U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded products (collectively with exchange-traded funds, Underlying ETFs), or individual equities. The Fund may at times employ leverage by investing in exchange-traded futures contracts to gain additional exposure to certain markets or assets. Futures contracts have an inherent leverage built into them since, by posting a specified margin, an investor can achieve much larger notional exposure. The Funds investments in Underlying ETFs may be selected for their ability to represent an asset class, a particular sector (e.g., information technology companies), or a subset of an asset class (e.g., small cap value companies), or based on factors such as their risk adjusted return, alpha, strategy (e.g., growth or value), or other factors that help the Fund achieve broad exposure across asset classes. Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to have notional exposure of between 100% and 150% of its total assets in futures contracts on U.S. Treasury instruments and in Underlying ETFs that provide exposure to various investment asset classes (e.g., equities, fixed income, real estate, commodities, and currencies) and factors (e.g., value, momentum, and trend investing). The Fund invests in Underlying ETFs or individual equities to gain exposure to undervalued markets and securities, according to various valuation metrics, such as the price-to-earnings ratio, while seeking to avoid overvalued markets and securities through the use of systematic quantitative screens. The Fund also invests in Underlying ETFs or individual equities with momentum or trend following strategies. Momentum and trend following strategies, both of which are based on quantitative and algorithmic models, attempt to (1) invest in assets when their prices are in an uptrend ( i.e. , prices are increasing over a specified time period) and/or increasing relative to the prices of other assets, and (2) sell assets when their prices are in a downtrend ( i.e. , prices are decreasing over a specified time period) and/or decreasing relative to the prices of other assets. Under normal market conditions, the Funds investment sub-adviser, Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (Cambria or the Sub-Adviser), expects to select Underlying ETFs or individual equities that provide notional exposure of more than 50% of its portfolio to equity securities with smaller exposures to fixed income securities, real assets, and various hedge and trend strategies. Examples of hedge and trend strategies include, but are not limited to, global macro strategies, long-short strategies, managed futures strategies, and relative strength strategies. The Funds particular exposures across asset classes and strategies are expected to fluctuate in response to market conditions and investment opportunities. In seeking exposure to certain strategies, the Fund may have significant exposure to individual equities that occupy the largest weights in leading market capitalization-based indices, which may result in significant exposure to information technology companies, including semiconductor and software companies. The Funds equity allocation is expected to include long positions in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in the equity securities of foreign companies. The Fund defines foreign companies as those domiciled or listed and traded outside of the U.S. The Fund defines equity exposure to include Underlying ETFs that track the performance of stock indices, closed-end funds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), exchange-traded currency trusts, common stock, preferred stock and convertible securities of issuers of any market capitalization. The Fund defines fixed income exposure to include Underlying ETFs that track the performance of fixed income indices, exchange-traded notes, securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies, sovereign debt and corporate bonds of any credit quality, including high yield (or junk) bonds. The Fund defines real asset exposure to include Underlying ETFs that track the performance of real estate, commodity or currency indices. The Funds exposure to these asset classes may focus on specific sectors (e.g., high yield bonds) or commodities (e.g., gold) and may not include all sectors or commodities. The Fund may invest in instruments that are not Underlying ETFs, but which Cambria believes will help the Fund achieve its investment objective, including futures, options, swap contracts, cash and cash equivalents, and money market funds. The Fund may sell a security when Cambria believes that the security is overvalued or better investment opportunities are available, to invest in cash and cash equivalents, or to meet redemptions.
