Investment objective & strategy
As of May 27, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The Return Stacked U.S. Stocks & Futures Yield ETF (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.
Strategy. The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in two complimentary investment strategies, a U.S. Equity strategy and a Futures Yield strategy. The Fund uses leverage to stack the total return of holdings in the Funds U.S. Equity strategy together with the potential returns of the Funds Futures Yield strategy. Essentially, one dollar invested in the Fund provides approximately one dollar of exposure to the Funds U.S. Equity strategy and approximately one dollar of exposure to the Funds Futures Yield strategy. So, the return of the Futures Yield (minus the cost of financing) strategy is essentially stacked on top of the returns of the U.S. Equity strategy. Under normal circumstances, the … The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in two complimentary investment strategies, a U.S. Equity strategy and a Futures Yield strategy. The Fund uses leverage to stack the total return of holdings in the Funds U.S. Equity strategy together with the potential returns of the Funds Futures Yield strategy. Essentially, one dollar invested in the Fund provides approximately one dollar of exposure to the Funds U.S. Equity strategy and approximately one dollar of exposure to the Funds Futures Yield strategy. So, the return of the Futures Yield (minus the cost of financing) strategy is essentially stacked on top of the returns of the U.S. Equity strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in (a) the U.S. Equity strategy (as described below) and (b) the Futures Yield strategy (as described below). For the Funds U.S. Equity strategy, the Fund will invest in U.S. equity securities (i.e., common stocks of U.S. issuers), U.S. equity ETFs, and/or futures contracts on U.S. equity indices. For the Funds Futures Yield strategy, the Fund will invest among four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, equities, and fixed income) and generally, the Fund will gain exposure to these four asset classes by investing in futures contracts including, but not limited to, commodity futures; currency futures; equity index futures; bond futures; and interest rate futures (collectively, the Instruments). The Fund may either invest directly in the Instruments or indirectly by investing in the Subsidiary (as described below) that invests in the Instruments. The Fund will target a 100% exposure to each of its U.S. Equity strategy and its Futures Yield strategy. Further, the Fund (and the Subsidiary) will hold U.S. Treasury bills and cash equivalents as collateral for the futures contracts as well as to generate income. U.S. Equity Strategy : The Fund seeks to capture the total return of large-capitalization U.S. equities (meaning companies with a market capitalization greater than $8 billion) with the objective of long-term capital appreciation. To do so, the Fund will invest in U.S. equity securities, U.S. equity ETFs, or U.S. equity index futures contracts. For the Funds direct investments in U.S. equity securities, the Fund will invest in large-capitalization U.S. equities. The Fund may also invest in broad-based U.S. equity ETFs, which are ETFs that are designed to provide broad exposure to U.S. equity markets. The Funds sub-adviser, Newfound Research LLC (the Sub-Adviser), will favor low-cost equity ETFs that provide exposure to the large-capitalization U.S. equity market, and which are highly liquid. Further, the Fund may implement its equity strategy by investing in U.S. equity index futures. Under normal circumstances, the Funds exposure to the U.S. Equity strategy will represent approximately 100% of the Funds net assets. Note: Notional value is the total underlying amount of a derivatives trade. Leverage allows an investor (like the Fund) to use a small amount of money to gain exposure to a larger (and potentially, a much larger) amount. So, notional value reflects the total value of a trade, not the cost (or market value) of taking the trade. Futures Yield Strategy : The Fund will invest, using a Futures Yield strategy, among four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, equities, and fixed income). As noted above, the Fund will invest in various types of futures contracts, such as commodity futures; currency futures; equity index futures; bond futures; and interest rate futures (collectively, the Instruments). The Fund may either invest directly in the Instruments or indirectly by investing in the Subsidiary (as described below) that invests in the Instruments. There are no geographic limits on the market exposure of the Funds assets. This flexibility allows ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) (the Futures Trading Advisor) to look for investments or gain exposure to asset classes and markets around the world that it believes will enhance the Funds ability to meet its objective. The Futures Trading Advisor uses a proprietary, systematic and quantitative process which seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by evaluating the carry premium in commodity, currency, equity, volatility, credit and fixed income Instruments. Carry premium is the economic benefit that one can achieve by holding or carrying a particular investment, less the costs associated with holding that asset. The type of economic benefit varies by asset type; for example, stocks may pay dividends and bonds may pay a coupon. Certain investments may actually have a negative carry premium, meaning that the economic benefit is exceeded by the costs of holding the investment (financing costs, storage costs, etc.). At its most basic level, a strategy that seeks to benefit from the carry premium would hold long positions on Instruments that pay a carry premium and hold short positions on Instruments that have a negative carry premium. The size and type (long or short) of the position taken will relate to various factors, including the Futures Trading Advisors systematic assessment of an investments carry premium as well as the Futures Trading Advisors estimate of the Instruments risk. The owner of a long position in a derivative instrument will benefit from an increase in the price of the underlying instrument. The owner of a short position in a derivative instrument will benefit from a decrease in the price of the underlying instrument. The Futures Trading Advisor generally expects that the Fund will have exposure in long and short positions across all four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, fixed income and equities), but at any one time the Fund may emphasize one or two of the asset classes or a limited number of exposures within an asset class. Futures contracts have a limited lifespan before they expire (e.g., quarterly). The Fund will frequently roll-over futures contracts - replace an expiring contract with a contract that expires further in the future. As a result, the Funds portfolio will be subject to a high portfolio turnover rate. Under normal circumstances, the Funds aggregate notional exposure to the Futures Yield strategy will be approximately 100% of the Funds net assets. The Funds Futures Yield strategy involves levered exposure to a basket of global futures contracts. Cayman Subsidiary : The Fund intends to gain exposure to futures contracts either directly or indirectly by investing through a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary (the Subsidiary) that is advised by the Adviser (as defined below) and the Futures Trading Advisor. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Subsidiary will generally invest in futures contracts that do not generate qualifying income under the source of income test required to qualify as a regulated investment company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in futures contracts; however, the Subsidiary will comply with the same Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), requirements that are applicable to the Funds transactions in derivatives. In addition, the Subsidiary will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions and will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as a RIC under the Code. The Fund is the sole investor in the Subsidiary and does not expect the shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors. Except as otherwise noted, for purposes of this Prospectus, references to the Funds investments include the Funds indirect investments through the Subsidiary. The financial statements of the Subsidiary will be consolidated with the Funds financial statements in the Funds Annual and Semi-Annual Reports. Collateral Futures Yield As part of the Funds Futures Yield strategy, the Fund holds collateral investments. The Fund (and the Subsidiary, as applicable) expects to invest approximately 25% to 100% of its net assets in U.S. Treasury bills, money market funds, cash and cash equivalents (e.g., high quality commercial paper and similar instruments that are rated investment grade or, if unrated, of comparable quality, as the Adviser or Sub-Adviser determines), that provide liquidity, serve as margin or collateralize the Funds investments in futures contracts. Non-Diversified The Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund.
