Strategy. The Fund is a fund of funds that employs a passive managementor indexinginvestment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The rules-based Index measures the performance of a diversified portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) representing common global equity, fixed income, and cash asset classes. The Index The Index consists of an investible portfolio of ETFs (Underlying ETFs) with exposure to major U.S. and non-U.S. asset classes.

The rules-based Index measures the performance of a diversified portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) representing common global equity, fixed income, and cash asset classes. The Index The Index consists of an investible portfolio of ETFs (Underlying ETFs) with exposure to major U.S. and non-U.S. asset classes. The weighting of each Underlying ETF is adjusted to (i) reduce exposure to individual asset classes determined to be in a downward trend (the Trend Adjustment) and (ii) reduce overall exposure to equity asset classes (and increase exposure to fixed income asset classes) as the aggregate size of equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend grows (the Risk Adjustment). The Index universe consists of cash and Underlying ETFs that each principally track the performance of one of the following assets classes: Fixed Income Asset Classes Equity Asset Classes Short Term U.S. Large Cap Developed International Intermediate Term U.S. Mid Cap Developed International Small Cap Long Term U.S. Small Cap Emerging Market High Yield (Junk Bonds) Real Estate Inflation Protected The U.S. Large Cap asset class is further broken down into each of its eleven sectors (each, a Sector), with the Indexs exposure to each Sector adjusted separately. The Underlying ETFs used by the Index are generally the largest, most liquid ETF tracking the performance of the applicable asset class. Construction of the Index begins by determining the expected rate of return for each asset class (the Market Expected Return) using a mathematical model (the Allocation Model) designed to calculate such returns based on the standard deviation of each asset class and correlation of each asset class to the other asset classes over the past five years and the market capitalization of each asset class as of the most recently available calendar year-end. In other words, the model uses the amount investors currently have invested in each asset class (as measured by the market capitalizations of the constituents of each asset class), plus the historical performance of each asset class, to calculate the expected return for each asset class, rather than the particular views of the Funds investment adviser. The Index then utilizes a proprietary intermediate trend following algorithm (the Trend Algorithm) to determine whether each asset class and Sector is in an upward or downward trend. The Trend Algorithm considers a number of trend-related data points over an intermediate time frame, such as the direction of an asset class or Sectors performance, the extent to which any trend in such performance is accelerating or decelerating, and the degree of variability in performance to determine whether an asset class or Sectors performance trend is upward or downward. The intermediate time frame is generally 1-3 years; however, the Trend Algorithm also includes a volatility component that considers the rate at which volatility is increasing for an asset class and can cause changes in the determination of whether an asset class trend is upward or downward more often, even frequently, if market conditions warrant. The Trend Adjustment is then implemented by optimizing the Indexs weighting of each asset class using the Allocation Model. If the Trend Algorithm determines an asset class or Sector is in an upward trend, the Allocation Model assumes the expected rate of return of the asset class is the Market Expected Return. If the Trend Algorithm determines an asset class or Sector is in a downward trend, the Allocation Model assumes the expected rate of return of the asset class or Sector is 0%, causing the asset class or Sector to be underweighted. The Index may weight one or more asset classes or Sectors at 0% from time to time depending on the outcome of the Trend Adjustment and Allocation Model. The Risk Adjustment is then implemented based on the aggregate size of the equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend by the Trend Algorithm. When all equity asset classes are determined to be in an upward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will reflect the Indexs most aggressive posture (i.e., maximum allocation to equity asset classes). As one or more equity asset classes is determined to be in a downward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will shrink as the aggregate size of the equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend grows. When all equity asset classes are determined to be in a downward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will reflect its most conservative posture (i.e., maximum allocation to fixed income asset classes). Additionally, the Indexs weighting of certain asset classes is limited such that the following weights will not be exceeded at the time of each rebalance: High Yield Fixed Income (20%), Inflation Protected Fixed Income (20%), U.S. Mid Cap Equity (12.5%), U.S. Small Cap Equity (12.5%), Developed International Equity (35%), Developed International Small Cap Equity (10%), Emerging Markets Equity (15%), and Real Estate (15%). Additionally, to the extent the Indexs allocation to the Intermediate Term Fixed Income asset class exceeds 50%, the amount in excess of 50% will instead be allocated to the Short Term Fixed Income asset class. The Allocation Model will determine how to optimally redistribute any amounts exceeding the above constraints to the remaining asset classes. The Index is rebalanced annually in March and any time the Trend Algorithm determines that the trend for one or more asset classes has changed from upward to downward, or vice versa. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2021, the Index rebalanced three times in response to changes in asset classes, as determined by the Trend Algorithm. At the time of each rebalance, the Indexs Risk Adjustment will determine the proportion of the Index allocated to equity asset classes and to fixed income asset classes. The weight for each individual asset class and Sector is calculated at the time of the annual rebalance based on the expected rate of return for each asset class (i.e., either the Market Expected Return or 0%, depending on the asset class or Sectors trend) and the market capitalization, five-year standard deviation, and correlation of each asset class to each other asset class determined at the time of the annual rebalance. At the time of each rebalance other than the annual rebalance, the weight for each individual asset class and Sector is calculated based on the expected rate of return for each asset class (i.e., either the Market Expected Return or 0%, depending on the asset class or Sectors trend) determined at the time of the non-annual rebalance and the market capitalization, five-year standard deviation, and correlation of each asset class to each other asset class determined at the time of the annual rebalance. Asset classes with an upward trend and the largest market capitalizations will generally receive the largest weightings in the Index. The Index is owned by Premise Capital, LLC, the Funds investment adviser (Premise or the Adviser), and was developed in 2016 for the purpose of launching the Fund. The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund attempts to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the securities that make up the Index. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Index, but may, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, use a representative sampling strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics are expected to closely resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. To the extent the Index concentrates ( i.e. , holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index.
