Investment objective & strategy

As of Oct. 28, 2022 · prospectus

Objective. The AdvisorShares Dorsey Wright Alpha Equal Weight ETF (the Fund) seeks to provide 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 a concentrated portfolio of U.S. equity securities selected from a universe of the largest 1,000 U.S. equity securities based on market capitalization. The Advisor allocates the Funds portfolio using research from a disciplined and quantitative proprietary model (the U.S. Equal Weight Model) developed by Dorsey, Wright and Associates, LLC (DWA). The U.S. Equal Weight Model utilizes a two-factor approach to invest generally in the top-ranked 40-50 large-cap equity securities on an equal-weighted basis. In constructing the model, industry sectors are first measured and ranked based on their relative strength, and individual equity securities are then selected from the top three sectors. … The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a concentrated portfolio of U.S. equity securities selected from a universe of the largest 1,000 U.S. equity securities based on market capitalization.

In constructing the model, industry sectors are first measured and ranked based on their relative strength, and individual equity securities are then selected from the top three sectors. The individual securities selections are also based on relative strength, with securities demonstrating both a buy or bullish signal and rising price momentum ranked higher by the model. The Funds portfolio is rebalanced monthly and may experience high turnover. The Funds investment focus follows a core philosophy of relative strength. Relative strength investing involves buying securities that have appreciated in price more than the other securities in the investment universe and holding those securities until they underperform. The strategy is entirely based on market movement of the securities and there is no company fundamental data involved in the analysis. The Advisors process is systematic and removes emotion from the day-to-day decision making. In implementing the strategy, stock selection is strictly based on identifying the highest ranked securities as measured by the relative strength investment process. The Fund also may invest in repurchase agreements.
