1 "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in other investment companies. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the expense ratios in the Fund's Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and exclude Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
EXAMPLE
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 for the time periods indicated and then hold or sell all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same. You may also pay brokerage commissions on the purchase and sale of Shares, which are not reflected in the example. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER
The Fund may pay transaction costs, including commissions when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. For the fiscal period June 11, 2025 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2026, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 89% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that is sub-advised by Concourse Capital Advisors, LLC ("Sub-Adviser"). Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets, plus borrowing for investment purposes, will be invested in equity securities. For purposes of the Fund's 80% policy, equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").
While the Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization, the Sub-Adviser expects the Fund to emphasize investment in small- and mid-capitalization companies, where it believes research-driven pricing inefficiencies may be more prevalent. The Fund may also invest meaningfully in large-capitalization companies when the Sub-Adviser believes they satisfy the same valuation, fundamental, and risk criteria.
1
The Sub-Adviser will generally select a focused portfolio of approximately 20-35 companies that it believes offer attractive long-term risk-adjusted return potential. The Sub-Adviser uses a proprietary analytical framework to evaluate investment candidates and portfolio holdings. The framework considers, among other factors, valuation, business and balance-sheet quality, management and capital allocation, the strength and timing of the investment thesis, downside risk, financial leverage, liquidity, and evidence supporting or contradicting the thesis. Recent stock-price performance, estimate revisions, and other indicators of market or fundamental confirmation may also be considered, but no single factor mechanically determines whether a security is purchased, sold, or assigned a particular portfolio weight. Position sizes reflect the Sub-Adviser's assessment of prospective return, downside risk, thesis confidence, financial leverage, liquidity, and the security's contribution to overall portfolio risk, including industry and economic-factor exposures. The Fund may invest in companies whose appreciation potential is driven by company-specific developments, changes in market expectations, normalization of business conditions, or a combination thereof. As a result of this process, the Fund's top ten holdings can exceed 50% of the Fund's net assets and the largest holdings may exceed 10% but not more than 25% of the portfolio.
The Sub-Adviser's investment process focuses primarily on equity securities of companies located in the United States and Canada, but may also include companies located in other developed markets, including through ADRs. The Sub-Adviser uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis to identify securities that it believes trade at a significant discount to intrinsic value.
Once the Sub-Adviser identifies companies for potential investment, it uses bottom-up fundamental analysis, including financial modeling, to estimate a range of potential intrinsic values for a security. The Sub-Adviser focuses on per-share value creation and seeks investments where it believes multiple factors may contribute to appreciation over time. Management quality and capital-allocation discipline are important considerations, but the Fund may invest in companies of varying business quality when the Sub-Adviser believes the prospective risk-adjusted return is sufficiently attractive.
Sector weightings in the Fund are driven by the Sub-Adviser's investment process which means the Fund may at times be overweight some sectors while omitting other sectors. The specific sector allocations will likely be different over time as the economic and market environments change. The Fund is not managed relative to a particular securities index or securities benchmark. Rather, the Sub-Adviser makes investment decisions based on the results of its research processes.
The Fund is classified as "non-diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which means the Fund may take larger positions in a fewer number of issuers.
The Sub-Adviser continuously monitors the Fund's holdings and other potential investment opportunities. The Sub-Adviser may reduce or sell a position when it believes the security has approached or exceeded its estimate of intrinsic value, the investment thesis has weakened or failed to develop as expected, the company's risk profile has deteriorated, or another investment presents a materially more attractive risk-adjusted return opportunity. The Fund may also hold a portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents, such as short-term U.S. government securities, investment grade money market instruments, and money market mutual funds, when the Sub-Adviser believes it is advantageous to do so, including when the Sub-Adviser cannot identify investments that meet its criteria or in light of market, economic, or liquidity conditions. Positions may also be adjusted for portfolio construction, diversification, liquidity, or risk-management considerations. Portfolio changes are not made pursuant to a fixed rebalancing schedule, and the frequency of trading will vary based on changes in the Sub-Adviser's assessment of individual securities and the portfolio as a whole.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including those described below. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investor may lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. More complete risk descriptions are set forth below under the heading "Additional Information About the Fund's Principal Investment Risks."
Equity Investing Risk. An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.
Value-Style Investing Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks may be purchased based upon the Sub-Adviser's belief that the stock may be out of favor. Value investing seeks to identify stocks that have depressed valuations, based upon a number of factors, which are thought to be temporary in nature, and to sell them at superior profits should their prices rise in response to resolution of the issues which caused the valuation of the stock to be depressed. While certain value stocks may increase in value more quickly during periods of anticipated economic upturn, they may also lose value more quickly in periods of anticipated economic downturn. Furthermore, there is the risk that the factors which caused the depressed valuations are longer term or even permanent in nature, and that their valuations may fall or never rise. Finally, there is the increased risk in such situations that such companies may not have sufficient resources to continue as ongoing businesses, which would result in the stock of such companies potentially becoming worthless. The market may not
2
agree with the Sub-Adviser's assessment of a stock's intrinsic value, and value stocks may fall out of favor with investors for extended periods of time.
Quality Stocks Risk. Stocks included in the Fund are deemed by the Sub-Adviser to be quality stocks, but there is no guarantee that the past performance of these stocks will continue. Companies that issue these stocks may experience a decline in value, as well as increased leverage, resulting in lower than expected or negative returns to Fund shareholders. Many factors can affect a stock's quality and performance, and the impact of these factors on a stock or its price can be difficult to predict.
Geographic Investment Risk. From time to time the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, risks relating to economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance. The Fund's investment performance may be more volatile if it focuses its investments in certain countries, especially emerging markets.
•Risk of Investing in the U.S. Certain changes in the U.S. economy, such as when the U.S. economy weakens or when its financial markets decline, may have an adverse effect on the securities to which the Fund has exposure.
•Risks Related to Investing in Canada. The Canadian economy is very dependent on the demand for, and supply and price of, natural resources. The Canadian market is relatively concentrated in issuers involved in the production and distribution of natural resources. There is a risk that any changes in natural resources sectors could have an adverse impact on the Canadian economy. Additionally, the Canadian economy is heavily dependent on relationships with certain key trading partners including the United States, countries in the European Union and China. Because the United States is Canada's largest trading partner and foreign investor, the Canadian economy is dependent on and may be significantly affected by developments impacting the U.S. economy. Reduction in spending on Canadian products and services or changes in the U.S. economy may adversely impact the Canadian economy. Uncertainty as to the future of certain trade agreements between the U.S. and Canada may cause a decline in the value of the Fund's Shares. In addition, certain sectors of Canada's economy may be subject to foreign ownership limitations, which may negatively the value of the Fund.
Investment Risk. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them. The Fund could lose money due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security. Geopolitical and other risks, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, political or economic dysfunction within some nations, public health crises, and environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fire, and floods, may add to instability in world economies and volatility in markets generally. Changes in trade policies and international trade agreements could affect the economies of many countries in unpredictable ways. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
Depositary Receipts Risk . Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts, or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities. Depositary receipts that are not sponsored by the issuer may be less liquid and there may be less readily available public information about the issuer.
Foreign Securities Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in securities of companies located outside the United States, including through ADRs, the Fund may be exposed to risks associated with foreign markets and issuers. These risks may include differences in accounting, disclosure, legal and regulatory standards; political, economic and social developments; currency fluctuations; withholding or other taxes; market liquidity; settlement practices; and restrictions on foreign investment or capital flows. These risks may be greater in certain foreign markets than in the United States.
Focus Investing Risk . The Fund will generally hold approximately 20-35 companies within the portfolio. As a result, the Fund may invest a high percentage of its assets in a relatively small number of companies, which may increase Fund volatility and the effect that adverse developments affecting any one company may have on Fund performance.
Sector Risk. Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together into broad categories called sectors. A certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Sub-Adviser allocates more of the Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector.
• Industrials Sector Risk. The value of securities issued by companies in the industrials sector may be affected by supply and demand both for their specific products or services and for industrials sector products in general. The products of manufacturing companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction.
3
• Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. Companies engaged in the design, production or distribution of products or services for the consumer discretionary sector are subject to the risk that their products or services may become obsolete quickly. The success of these companies can depend heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending. During periods of an expanding economy, the consumer discretionary sector may outperform the consumer staples sector, but may underperform when economic conditions worsen.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Risk. Holding cash or cash equivalents rather than securities or other instruments in which the Fund primarily invests, even strategically, may cause the Fund to risk losing opportunities to participate in market appreciation, and may cause the Fund to experience potentially lower returns than the Fund's benchmark or other funds that remain fully invested. In rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents will negatively affect the Fund's performance relative to its benchmark.
Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes affecting individual issuers or investments than a diversified fund, which may result in greater fluctuation in the value of the Shares and greater risk of loss.
Market Capitalization Risk.
•Large-Capitalization Company Risk. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.
•Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.
•Small-Capitalization Company Risk. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large- or mid-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large- or mid-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies.
REIT Risk. The Fund's investment in REITs will subject the Fund to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses.
ETF Risks.
•Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants ("APs"). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
•Premium-Discount Risk. The Shares may trade above or below their net asset value ("NAV"). The market prices of Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Shares on The Nasdaq Stock Exchange LLC (the "Exchange") or other securities exchanges. The trading price of Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility or limited trading activity in Shares. In addition, you may incur the cost of the "spread," that is, any difference between the bid price and the ask price of the Shares.
•Cost of Trading Risk. Investors buying or selling Shares in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Shares.
•Trading Risk. Although the Shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of its underlying portfolio holdings, which can be less liquid than Shares, potentially causing the market price of Shares to deviate from its NAV. The spread varies over time for Shares of the Fund based on the Fund's trading volume and market liquidity and is generally lower if the Fund has high trading volume and market liquidity, and higher if the Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity (which is often the case for funds that are newly launched or small in size).
4
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser's, Sub-Adviser's, or portfolio manager's success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. The success of the Fund's investment program depends largely on the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and the portfolio manager and the skill of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and/or portfolio manager in evaluating, selecting, and monitoring the Fund's assets. The Fund could experience losses (realized and unrealized) if the judgment of the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, or portfolio manager about markets or sectors or the attractiveness of particular investments made for the Fund's portfolio prove to be incorrect. It is possible the investment techniques and risk analyses employed on behalf of the Fund will not produce the desired results.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have limited track record or history on which to base their investment decision. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER
Joseph L. Mathias IV is the portfolio manager and the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Mr. Mathias has served as portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in June 2025.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
Individual Shares are listed on a national securities exchange and may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer at a market price. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (at a "premium") or less than NAV (at a "discount"). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (ask) when buying and selling Shares in the secondary market (the "bid/ask spread").
TAX INFORMATION
The Fund's distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gain, or some combination of both, unless your investment is made through an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. However, subsequent withdrawals from such a tax-advantaged account may be subject to U.S. federal income tax. You should consult your own tax advisor about your specific tax situation.
PURCHASES THROUGH BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend Shares over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
