Investment objective & strategy

As of Oct. 28, 2025 · prospectus

Objective. The Strive International Developed Markets ETF (the Fund) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of an index composed of developed markets, ex-US securities.

Strategy. The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (the Index), which tracks mid- and large- cap companies of developed market countries, not including the U.S. (each an Index Component and collectively the Index Components), which are selected and weighted according to free-float market capitalization. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in developed markets securities. The Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index is a free float market-cap-weighted equity benchmark that covers 85% market cap of the measured market. To qualify as a developed market … The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund seeks to track the investment results of the Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index (the Index), which tracks mid- and large- cap companies of developed market countries, not including the U.S. (each an Index Component and collectively the Index Components), which are selected and weighted according to free-float market capitalization. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in developed markets securities. The Bloomberg Developed Markets ex US Large & Mid Cap Total Return Index is a free float market-cap-weighted equity benchmark that covers 85% market cap of the measured market. To qualify as a developed market country security, securities must have a country classification corresponding to the developed markets within the Index and a free float adjusted market capitalization of at least $100 million. The Index may include depositary receipts (including American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts. The Index consists of issuers in the following developed market countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Macau, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and United Kingdom (each a Developed Market and collectively, the Developed Markets). The Index will generally have significant exposure to companies in Japan, United Kingdom, Canada, and France. The Index will generally consist of over 500 securities. The Index will generally have significant exposure to the Financials and Industrial sectors. Index Components and the Developed Markets themselves will change over time. Securities are first screened for inclusion in the Index Universe. The Index Universe is exclusively comprised of equity securities, which includes common stock and real estate investment trusts (REITs) from issuers in Developed Markets. To determine the Index Components, all equity securities in the Index Universe are sorted by Developed Market country. Thereafter, Index Components are individually selected for inclusion based on factors such as free float market capitalization, trading volume thresholds, and market price cap levels. Equity securities passing these thresholds are included as Index Components within each Developed Market. Thereafter, the Index Components are aggregated together and ranked by total market capitalization. Each Index Component is subsequently assigned a weight based on its free float market capitalization. The weight represents the percentage amount of the Index Component as a percentage of the total Index. Starting with the largest free float market capitalization, the Index is fully comprised once approximately 85% of the accumulated free float market-capitalization of the Index Universe is selected. The Funds exposure to any asset class, country or geographic region will vary from time to time as the weightings of the securities within the Index change, and the Fund may not be invested in each country or geographic region at all times. Bloomberg Index Services Limited (the Index Provider) will generally deem an issuer to be located in a developed market country based on several factors related to economic development, market size and liquidity, and capital market structure. The Index is calculated as a total return index in U.S. dollars. The Index is normally reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in March and September and rebalanced on a quarterly basis. New securities from initial public offerings generally must have traded for at least three months before the semi-annual reconstitution date to be considered for inclusion in the Index. Securities subject to US Office of Financial Assets Control, US Department of Defense United States, United Nations, United Kingdom or European Union sanctions may not be eligible for inclusion in the Index. Securities incorporated, listed and/or with a country of risk pointing to a country subject to comprehensive economic sanctions may also not be eligible for inclusion in the Index. Index Components impacted by such sanctions will be dropped from the Index as soon as practically possible. Strive Asset Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser) uses a passive or indexing approach to try to achieve the Funds investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to beat the index it tracks and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued. Indexing may eliminate the chance that the Fund will substantially outperform the Index but also may reduce some of the risks of active management, such as poor security selection. Indexing seeks to achieve lower costs and better after-tax performance by aiming to keep portfolio turnover low in comparison to actively managed investment companies. The Fund will generally use a representative sampling strategy, meaning the Fund may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, but may, when the Sub-Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, use a replication strategy to seek to achieve its investment objective, meaning the Fund will invest in all of the component securities of the Index in the same approximate proportions as in the Index. For example, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy when the Sub-Adviser believes a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when buying each security in the Index is impracticable or inefficient, when there are practical difficulties or additional costs involved in replicating the Index, or if one or more securities in the Index is illiquid, unavailable or less liquid. In addition, the Fund may use a representative sampling as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not to the Index. The Fund will be reconstituted and rebalanced on the same schedule as the Index.
