Investment objective & strategy

As of Feb. 27, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The AAM Sawgrass U.S. Small Cap Quality Growth ETF (the Fund) seeks risk-adjusted returns, upside participation, downside protection, low standard deviation and long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in U.S.-listed equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-listed small-capitalization companies. The Fund defines a small-capitalization company as an issuer whose market capitalization at the time of purchase is between $300 million and the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell 2000 Index (as of January 31, 2026, $38.2 billion). In selecting securities, Sawgrass Asset Management, LLC (Sawgrass), a sub-adviser to the Fund, employs a quantitative and qualitative blended investment process, which begins with a sector specific scoring of a universe of 2,000 stocks.

In selecting securities, Sawgrass Asset Management, LLC (Sawgrass), a sub-adviser to the Fund, employs a quantitative and qualitative blended investment process, which begins with a sector specific scoring of a universe of 2,000 stocks. Sawgrass utilizes a proprietary modeling system that evaluates 26 factors contained in seven groupings, including business valuation, equity valuation, profitability, earnings quality, price volatility, smoothed momentum and sales, earnings and margin stability. Fundamental research is then used to distinguish among the highest scoring candidates, in the opinion of Sawgrass, for portfolio inclusion based on a qualitative assessment of company specific attributes, growth prospects, and risk contribution. Sawgrass generally sells a security for the Fund when, in its opinion, one or more of the following occurs, among other reasons: 1) the quantitative ranking of a security deteriorates, 2) there are significant changes to a securitys fundamental factors, 3) the risk profile of a particular security has changed, 4) a more attractive security is identified, or 5) a securitys market cap swells beyond the Funds small-cap range. The Funds anticipated portfolio holdings range between 70-90 companies.
