Investment objective & strategy

As of Nov. 28, 2022 · prospectus

Objective. The APEX HealthCare ETF (the ?Fund?) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the MarketGrader Global Health Care Leaders Index.

Strategy. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of total assets in securities of the MarketGrader Global Health Care Leaders Index (the ?MarketGrader Index? or the ?Index?) or in depositary receipts representing securities of the Index. The Index, which was developed and is provided by MarketGrader.com Corp. (?MarketGrader? or the ?Index Provider?), consists of 100 fundamentally sound companies in the healthcare sector that are domiciled in any Developed Market or Emerging Market (each as defined by the International Monetary Fund?s World Economic Outlook Database) and are in the MarketGrader research universe. The Index constituents are selected on the basis of the strength of their fundamentals as measured by the MarketGrader Score (zero to 100). To be eligible for inclusion in … The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of total assets in securities of the MarketGrader Global Health Care Leaders Index (the ?MarketGrader Index? or the ?Index?) or in depositary receipts representing securities of the Index. The Index, which was developed and is provided by MarketGrader.com Corp. (?MarketGrader? or the ?Index Provider?), consists of 100 fundamentally sound companies in the healthcare sector that are domiciled in any Developed Market or Emerging Market (each as defined by the International Monetary Fund?s World Economic Outlook Database) and are in the MarketGrader research universe. The Index constituents are selected on the basis of the strength of their fundamentals as measured by the MarketGrader Score (zero to 100). To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must have a minimum market capitalization of $500 million at the time of inclusion and a minimum three-month average daily trading volume of $2 million. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of healthcare companies. This investment policy may be changed without shareholder approval, upon 60 days? notice to shareholders. Companies eligible for inclusion in the MarketGrader Index are publicly-traded global companies in the healthcare sector. The Index Provider reviews the financial statements of such companies to identify those companies for which it deems reporting to be reliable and consistent and filters out those companies it deems unreliable due to anomalies and inconsistencies. Once all companies are filtered, the data in their financial statements, along with historic stock prices, form the foundation of the Index Provider?s analysis and ratings. The Index Provider applies a series of metrics in order to identify those companies that are proven compounders of value and that have sustainable growth at a reasonable valuation allowing for long term capital appreciation. These metrics seek to find companies with characteristics that include consistent bottom to top line growth with sustainable margins and high cash flow generation; and a sound capital structure that doesn?t impair operating growth, combined with high returns on invested capital and low capital intensity. The metrics are aggregated into 24 individually graded indicators which are classified into four categories of analysis: growth, value, profitability and cash flow. All 24 indicators are then aggregated into a final MarketGrader Score for each company, which the Index Provider uses to select the constituents of the Index. Once selected, Index constituents are weighted according to their free-float market capitalization, with a maximum Index weight per constituent of 5% and a minimum Index weight per constituent of 0.25%. The Index consists of securities of both U.S. and foreign issuers, including securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. The Index may consist of up to 20 issuers located in emerging markets countries, with a maximum of 10 issuers located in a single emerging markets country. Under normal circumstances, the Index is rebalanced and reconstituted on a semi-annual basis. The aggregate amount and weight of U.S. and foreign issuers included in the Index at the beginning of each rebalancing period will be impacted by factors such as the MarketGrader Scores and free-float market capitalizations of the eligible issuers. In addition, in between semi-annual rebalancings, market conditions could cause the weight of U.S. and foreign issuers in the Index to fluctuate. For example, during periods in which U.S. securities outperform other markets, the weight of foreign issuers in the Index will decrease. Under normal circumstances, the Fund expects that the weight of foreign issuers in the Index at the beginning of a rebalancing period will range from 25% to 45%, however this could change due to market conditions. Deletions from the Index may be made at any time due to changes in business, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, suspensions, de-listings and spin-offs, or for other reasons as determined at the sole discretion of the Index Provider. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly. The Fund uses a ?passive? investment strategy in seeking to achieve its investment objective. The Fund generally will use a replication methodology, meaning it will invest in all of the securities comprising the Index in proportion to the weightings in the Index. However, the Fund may utilize a sampling methodology under various circumstances, including when it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of its total assets) in the healthcare industry sector. In addition, the Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular country or region to the extent that the MarketGrader Index concentrates in a country or region. The Fund could invest over 80% of its total assets in the securities of U.S. issuers at any time depending upon the composition of the Index and market conditions. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, although the amount of securities of foreign issuers will vary depending upon the composition of the Index and market conditions. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in investments (including exchange-traded funds) that are not included in the Index, but which Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Index. The Index Provider is not affiliated with the Fund, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser. The Index Provider developed the methodology for determining the securities to be included in the Index and for the ongoing maintenance of the Index. The Index is calculated by Refinitiv Indices, which is not affiliated with the Fund, the Adviser or the Sub-Adviser. For the purpose of achieving income, the Fund may engage in securities lending.
