Investment objective & strategy

As of March 27, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The ETC 6 Meridian Hedged Equity-Index Option Strategy ETF (the Fund) seeks to provide capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in a portfolio of equity securities while selling call options against market indices or funds. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The equity securities in which the Fund invests are mainly common stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities of companies of any capitalization. Madison Avenue Financial Solutions, LLC, the Funds sub-adviser (the Sub-Adviser), employs a strategy pairing a portfolio of equity securities with an index call option writing overlay designed to reduce the exposure of the Fund to broad equity market risk with the goal of providing risk-adjusted … The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in a portfolio of equity securities while selling call options against market indices or funds. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The equity securities in which the Fund invests are mainly common stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities of companies of any capitalization. Madison Avenue Financial Solutions, LLC, the Funds sub-adviser (the Sub-Adviser), employs a strategy pairing a portfolio of equity securities with an index call option writing overlay designed to reduce the exposure of the Fund to broad equity market risk with the goal of providing risk-adjusted returns. Pursuant to this investment strategy, the Sub-Adviser will sell (or write) call options on broad equity market indices or funds representing the basket of common stocks representing such indices. Typically, the Sub-Adviser will seek to write options on the full value of the equity portfolio. The call option writing portion of the strategy attempts to generate income in the form of the premium paid by the buyer of the option, contributing to the Funds total return. In exchange for this income, the Funds total return may be reduced relative to a portfolio consisting solely of equity securities in rising markets and may be enhanced relative to the same portfolio in flat or declining markets. In return for the option premium, the Fund gives the purchaser of the call option either the right to buy the security from the Fund at a specified exercise (or strike) price, or the right to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between the value of the security and the exercise price if the value is above the exercise price on or before the expiration date of the option. The Fund will write index call options on broad-based indices. As the seller of an index call option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser. The purchaser of the index call option has the right to any appreciation in the value of the index over the exercise price upon the exercise of the call option or the expiration date. If, at expiration, the purchaser exercises the index option sold by the Fund, the Fund will pay the purchaser the difference between the cash value of the index and the exercise price of the index option. The premium, the exercise price and the market value of the index determine the gain or loss realized by the Fund as the seller of the index call option. In constructing the equity portfolio, the Sub-Adviser uses quantitatively-driven methods emphasizing high quality large-capitalization securities. Securities are first ranked on a composite of several variables intended to measure profitability, growth and ability to service financing obligations. Securities ranking the lowest on this composite measure, as expressed relative to the distribution of all securities measured, are excluded from the investable universe. Securities exhibiting low momentum, as defined below, are also excluded. The remaining securities are then ranked separately on measures of multiple investment factors including beta, momentum, yield, value and quality. Beta is intended to measure the exposure of a security to broad market risk and is defined here as the co-movement of the return of a security with the return of the securities included in the investable universe scaled by the volatility of the investable universes returns. For example, a security that has a beta of 1.0 has the same market risk as the securities in the investable universe, a security that has a beta less than 1.0 has less market risk than the securities in the investable universe, and a security that has a beta greater than 1.0 has more market risk than the securities in the investable universe. For purposes of this model, lower values for beta rank more favorably. Momentum refers to the trailing price appreciation of a security relative to the investable universe measured over the twelve-month period preceding the date of measurement. Yield is measured as the annual dividends or income paid divided by the price of the security. Value is calculated using ratios of fundamental measures of company size to the market value of that company. For purposes of this model, quality is measured as gross profitability. The securities that rank highest on a sequential percentile basis for each factor measure are included in the Funds portfolio, at weights determined based on the number of factors for which the security ranks highly. In addition to selling call options, the Fund also may hedge its portfolio through the use of inverse ETFs, which are ETFs that are constructed by using various derivatives for the purpose of profiting from a decline in the value of an underlying benchmark.
