Investment Objective
The Zacks Income ETF (the "Fund") seeks to provide current income as well as long-term capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and expense example below.
|
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (ongoing expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) |
|
| Management Fees | 0.44% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses1 | 0.63% |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses1 | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.07% |
| Fee Waiver and/or Expense Limitation2 | ( 0.52)% |
| Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.55% |
| 1. | Estimated for the current fiscal year. |
| 2. | The Fund's adviser, Zacks Investment Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, until at least June 30, 2027, to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or reimbursement (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), acquired fund fees and expenses, fees and expenses associated with investments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses), or extraordinary |
| 1 |
expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.55% of the Fund's net assets. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years (within the three years from the date the fees have been waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the lesser of the foregoing expense limits or those in place at the time of recapture. This agreement may be terminated only by the Zacks Trust's (the "Trust") Board of Trustees (the "Board") on 60 days' written notice to the Advisor.
Example. You may also incur usual and customary brokerage commissions and other charges when buying or selling shares of the Fund, which are not reflected in the example that follows. This example is intended to help you compare the cost of owning shares of the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example includes the Fund's contractual expense limitation through June 30, 2027.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
| One Year | Three Years |
| $56 | $289 |
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as 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 Fund 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. Because the Fund will commence operations on or following the date of this prospectus, the Fund has no reportable portfolio turnover rate.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that seeks to provide current income as well as long-term capital appreciation. The Fund generally will invest at least 80% of its total assets plus borrowings in securities that the Advisor considers to be income-producing. The Advisor considers securities that have paid interest or dividends at any time within the prior twelve months as being "income-producing" securities. The Advisor seeks to identify companies with potentially high income by using a proprietary strategy that evaluates stocks on multiple factors, including dividend yield and risk adjusted return. While the Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization, it will generally focus on companies with large capitalizations ($10 billion or higher at the time of purchase). The Fund intends to concentrate its investments (invests more than 25% of its net assets) in the financial services sector. In addition, the Fund may also include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), master limited partnerships ("MLPs"), Canadian royalty trusts and foreign stocks.
The Advisor employs a bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments for the Fund. The Advisor selects investments primarily based on quantitative analysis of an individual issuer and its potential for capital appreciation and dividend income. The Advisor uses a quantitative model that analyzes an issuer's dividend yield, earnings, cash flows, competitive position, and management ability. The primary aim of this quantitative model is to systematically evaluate an issuer's valuation, price and earnings momentum and earnings quality. In addition to considering a company's financial condition the Advisor also considers other factors such as general market, economic, political, and regulatory conditions.
| 2 |
The portfolio is generally rebalanced on a monthly basis using the analysis described above. However, the Advisor may rebalance the Fund's portfolio more or less frequently due to things like corporate actions, such as mergers and acquisitions, and spin-offs or in reaction to market events, earnings reports, and other specific or global events.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk is inherent in all investing. The loss of your money is a principal risk of investing in the Fund. Investors should consider the following risk factors and special considerations associated with investing in the Fund, which may cause you to lose money. The following principal risk factors have been identified for the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful in meeting its investment objective.
Concentration Risk. The Fund is expected to concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of its assets) in one or more sectors or industries. Specifically, the Fund currently intends to concentrate its investments specifically in the financial services sector, although it may in the future adopt a policy to concentrate in other industries or sectors. Significant investments in an industry or sector renders a portfolio particularly vulnerable to risks of that industry or sector. Such exposure may cause the Fund to be more impacted by risks relating to and developments affecting the sector(s) or industry(ies) in which it concentrates, including the industries in the financial services sector and the financial services sector itself.
Financial Services Risk. Risks of investing in the financial services sector include: (1) systemic risk: factors outside the control of a particular financial institution may adversely affect the ability of the financial institution to operate normally or may impair its financial condition; (2) regulatory actions: financial services companies may suffer setbacks if regulators change the rules under which they operate; (3) changes in interest rates: unstable and/or rising interest rates may have a disproportionate effect on companies in the financial services sector; (4) non-diversified loan portfolios: financial services companies may have concentrated portfolios that make them vulnerable to economic conditions that affect an industry; (5) credit: financial services companies may have exposure to investments or agreements that may lead to losses; and (6) competition: the financial services sector has become increasingly competitive.
Equity Securities Risk. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. These changes in value may result from factors affecting individual issuers, industries or the stock market as a whole. In addition, equity markets tend to be cyclical which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Advisor's judgments about the attractiveness, value, and stability of particular stocks in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect, and there is no guarantee that the Advisor's judgment will produce the desired results.
Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund will have significant exposure to dividend paying securities. There is no guarantee that issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will either remain at current levels or increase over time.
| 3 |
Quantitative Model Risk. Investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole. There can be no assurance that these methodologies will enable the Fund to achieve its objective.
Large-Cap Securities Risk. Stocks of large companies as a group can fall out of favor with the market. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may grow more slowly than smaller companies.
Small and Medium Cap Securities Risk. The earnings and prospects of small and medium sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Mid- and small-capitalization companies typically have more limited product lines, markets and financial resources than larger companies, and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of larger, more mature companies.
Common Stock Risk. Investments in shares of common stock may fluctuate in value response to many factors. Such price fluctuations subject the Fund to potential losses.
Market Risk. Market risk refers to the possibility that the value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to daily fluctuations in the market. Market prices for securities change daily as a result of many factors, including developments affecting the condition of both individual companies and the market in general. The price of a security may even be affected by factors unrelated to the value or condition of its issuer, including changes in interest rates, economic and political conditions, and general market conditions. The Fund's performance per share will change daily in response to such factors.
New Fund Risk. The Fund has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.
Authorized Participant Risk. Only an authorized participant ("Authorized Participant" or "AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants).
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur substantial trading losses.
ETF Structure Risks. The Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result is subject to the special risks, including:
| o | Not Individually Redeemable. Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at net asset value ("NAV") only in large blocks known as "Creation Units." |
| o | Trading Issues. An active trading market for the Fund's shares may not be developed or maintained. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. |
| o |
Cash purchases. To the extent Creation Units are purchased by APs in cash instead of in-kind, the Fund will incur certain costs such as brokerage expenses and taxable gains and losses. These costs could be imposed on the Fund and impact the Fund's NAV if not fully offset by transaction fees paid by the APs. |
| 4 |
| o | Market Price Variance Risk. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a "bid-ask spread" charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV. |
Investment Risk. Various sectors of the global financial markets have been experiencing an extended period of adverse conditions. Market uncertainty has increased dramatically, particularly in the United States and Europe, and adverse market conditions have expanded to other markets. These conditions have resulted in disruption of markets, periods of reduced liquidity, greater volatility, general volatility of spreads, an acute contraction in the availability of credit and a lack of price transparency. The long-term impact of these events is uncertain but could continue to have a material effect on general economic conditions, consumer and business confidence, and market liquidity.
Cybersecurity Risk. As part of its business, the Advisor processes, stores, and transmits large amounts of electronic information, including information relating to the transactions of the Fund. The Advisor and the Fund are therefore susceptible to cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity failures or breaches of the Fund or its service providers have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability of Fund shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, and/or reputational damage. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. Market disruption can be caused by economic, financial or political events and factors, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia's military invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war), geopolitical developments (including trading and tariff arrangements, and sanctions), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health epidemics.
REIT Risk. REITs are subject to certain risks inherent in the direct ownership of real estate, including without limitation, a possible lack of mortgage funds and associated interest rate risks, overbuilding, property vacancies, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, losses due to environmental damages and changes in neighborhood values and appeal to purchasers. Further, failure of a company to qualify as a REIT under federal tax law may have adverse consequences to the REIT's shareholders. In addition, REITs may have expenses, including advisory and administration expenses, and REIT shareholders will incur a proportionate share of the underlying expenses.
Master Limited Partnerships Risk. Investments in MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to the following: (1) a common unit holder's limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP; (2) potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP's general partner; (3) cash flow; (4) dilution; and (5) the general partner's right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. MLP common units, like other equity securities, can be affected by macro-economic and other factors affecting the stock market in general, expectations of interest rates, investor sentiment towards an issuer or
| 5 |
certain market sector, changes in a particular issuer's financial condition, or unfavorable or unanticipated poor performance of a particular issuer. Prices of common units of individual MLPs, like prices of other equity securities, also can be affected by fundamentals unique to the partnership or company, including earnings power and coverage ratios.
Additionally, due to the heavy state and federal regulations that an MLP and an MLP's assets may be subject to, including tax regulations, an MLP's profitability could be adversely impacted by changes in the regulatory environment.
Canadian Royalty Trust Risk. Canadian Royalty Trusts are likely to be heavily invested in crude oil and natural gas. Potential growth may be sacrificed because revenue is passed on to a royalty trust's unitholders (such as the Fund), rather than reinvested in the business. Royalty trusts generally do not guarantee minimum distributions or even return of capital. If the assets underlying a royalty trust do not perform as expected, the royalty trust may reduce or even eliminate distributions. The declaration of such distributions generally depends upon various factors, including the operating performance and financial condition of the royalty trust and general economic conditions. Unlike U.S. Royalty Trusts, Canadian royalty trusts may engage in the acquisition, development and production of natural gas and crude oil to replace depleting reserves. They may have employees, issue new shares, borrow money, acquire additional properties, and manage the resources themselves. As a result, Canadian royalty trusts are exposed to commodity risk and production and reserve risk as well as operating risks above.
Additionally, Canadian Royalty trusts may be subject to changing regulations, including tax, that could adversely impact their operations and financials.
Character of Distributions Risk. Distributions from the Fund are not limited solely to investment-related returns and may include distributions that are characterized as returns of capital. For more information, see the Distribution Policy Risk below.
Distribution Policy Risk. The Fund pays quarterly income and managed distributions on Fund shares at a target rate that seeks to represent an annualized payout of approximately 8.0% on the Fund's per-share NAV on the date of a distribution's declaration (this rate is a target only and actual distributions may reflect a higher or lower annualized rate at the time of any given distribution, and further the target rate may be changed (raised or lowered) without prior notice from time to time depending on the market environment). Shareholders receiving periodic payments from the Fund may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits. However, all or a portion of a distribution may consist of a return of capital. Return of capital is the portion of distribution that is a return of your original investment dollars in the Fund. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Shareholders should note that return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. The Fund will provide disclosures, with each quarterly distribution, that estimate the percentages of the current and year-to-date distributions that represent (1) net investment income, (2) capital gains, and (3) return of capital. At the end of the year, the Fund may be required under applicable law to re-characterize distributions made previously during that year among (1) ordinary income, (2) capital gains, and (3) return of capital for tax purposes.

Performance Information
Because the Fund has not been in operation for an entire calendar year, no Fund performance information is shown. You may request a copy of the Fund's annual and semi-annual reports, once available, at no charge by calling the Fund at 855-813-3507. Interim information on the Fund's results can be obtained by visiting the Fund's website at www.zacksetfs.com.
Management
Investment Advisor. Zacks Investment Management, Inc. is the Advisor to the Fund.
Portfolio Manager. Mitch Zacks, Principal & senior portfolio manager of the Advisor, has served as a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception on May 28, 2026.
Purchase and Redemption of Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem shares at NAV only in large blocks of 10,000 shares (each block of shares is called a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units in transactions with APs, the shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares of the Fund may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through a broker or dealer at a market price. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). You may access recent information, including information on the Fund's NAV, Market Price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, on the Fund's website at www.zacksetfs.com.
Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units via cash, rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities, may cause the Fund to incur certain costs, including brokerage costs or taxable gains or losses, that the Fund might not have incurred if the purchases or redemptions had been conducted in-kind. Such costs could be imposed on the Fund, and thus decrease the Fund's net asset value, to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an AP or via other means.

Tax Information
The Fund's distributions will generally be taxed to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. Distributions on investments made through tax deferred vehicles, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs, may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts. You are strongly urged to consult with your own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Advisor, or other related companies may pay the intermediary for marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, conferences, the development of technology platforms and reporting systems, or other services related to the sale or promotion of the Fund. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
