Investment objective & strategy

As of March 26, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The Horizon Small/Mid Cap Core Equity ETF (the Small/Mid Cap Core Equity Fund or the Fund) seeks capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Small/Mid Cap Core Equity Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of U.S. small- and mid-capitalization companies and equity interests of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The Funds investment adviser, Horizon Investments, LLC (Horizon), employs a flexible approach that combines active management and quantitative models to allocate the Funds portfolio among issuers, sectors, and/or factors (such as growth, value, momentum, quality, size, and volatility). Horizon selects securities believed to offer the highest projected return for a given level of risk, using a multi-disciplinary approach that includes economic, quantitative, and fundamental analysis.

The Funds investment adviser, Horizon Investments, LLC (Horizon), employs a flexible approach that combines active management and quantitative models to allocate the Funds portfolio among issuers, sectors, and/or factors (such as growth, value, momentum, quality, size, and volatility). Horizon selects securities believed to offer the highest projected return for a given level of risk, using a multi-disciplinary approach that includes economic, quantitative, and fundamental analysis. The Fund may engage in frequent trading to achieve its objective and, depending on Horizons outlook and market conditions, may focus its investments in particular sectors or areas of the economy. Under normal circumstances, the Small/Mid Cap Core Equity Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small- and mid-cap issuers. For purposes of this policy: (A) small- and mid-cap issuers are those companies whose market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, fall within the ranges of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, respectively; and (B) equity securities means common and preferred stock, convertible debt securities, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), REITs, derivative instruments that provide exposure to or are otherwise related to such securities as well as other investment companies that invest primarily in these instruments. Options : The Fund may, at times, seek to generate income through the use of an options strategy involving primarily put spreads on broad-based securities indices (including, without limitation, the S&P 500) or ETFs that track broad-based securities indices. Put spread transactions consist of a sold put option on a portion of the Funds portfolio, and purchased put option of the same maturity with a lower strike price. The Fund seeks to generate income from the sold put options while the purchased put options with a lower strike are used to hedge against a decline of the options reference asset. The use of this strategy is expected to increase the Funds volatility. Options purchased by the Fund will generally be exchange-traded (including Flexible Exchange Options (FLEX Options)). FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the OCC). Terms that can be customized for FLEX Options include exercise price, exercise styles, and expiration dates. During periods where the U.S. equity market is relatively stable or rising in value such that the option premiums received by the Fund exceed the change in value of the sold put option, the strategy may outperform an otherwise similar strategy that does not sell put options. Alternatively, during periods of falling markets where gains in the sold put options exceed the premiums received, the strategy would be expected to underperform an otherwise similar strategy with no sold put options. In those cases, however, losses will be hedged at values of the reference asset below the strike price of the long-put option. The Funds use of options may be opportunistic and vary based on Horizons market outlook, risk assessment, and portfolio management objectives. The Fund may also use options for hedging purposes, to manage portfolio risk, or to enhance return potential in a cost-effective manner. The Funds investment strategies, including its use of options, are subject to change based on Horizons ongoing assessment of market conditions and the investment opportunities available.
