RevenueShares Large Cap Fund

Investment Objective

RevenueShares Large Cap Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (the “Benchmark Index”).

Fees and Expenses

The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may also incur customary brokerage charges when buying or selling Fund Shares.


Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

        Management Fees 0.45%

        Distribution and/or Service (12b-l) Fees 0.00%

        Other Expenses 0.40%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.85%

        Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (1) 0.36%

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver 0.49%
        and/or Expense Reimbursement  


(1)     

RevenueShares ETF Trust (the “Trust”) and VTL Associates, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (“VTL” or “Management”) have entered into a written fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which VTL has agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep the Fund’s expenses (excluding any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.49% of net assets. This agreement will remain in effect and will be contractually binding through October 31, 2011.

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 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of the Shares at the end of those periods. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same, except that the Fund’s expenses are reduced during the first year by the fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement described above. This example does not include the brokerage commission that you may pay to buy and sell exchange-traded Shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 years
$ 50 $ 235 $ 436 $ 1,016

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or other instruments. 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. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 6.72% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund’s investment objective is to outperform the total return performance of the Benchmark Index. For purposes of the Fund’s investment objective, “total return” refers to a combination of capital appreciation and income.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to replicate the portfolio of the RevenueShares Large Cap IndexTM (the “Underlying Index”). The Benchmark Index determines the proportion, or “weighting,” of each constituent security based on each security’s market capitalization (that is, its stock price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares). The Underlying Index is constructed by re-weighting the constituent securities of the Benchmark Index according to the revenue earned by the companies in the Benchmark Index, subject to certain asset diversification requirements. The Underlying Index thus contains the same securities as the Benchmark Index, but in different proportions.

1



Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in the securities of large capitalization companies included in the Benchmark Index, and generally expects to be substantially invested at such times, with at least 95% of its net assets invested in these securities. The Fund defines large capitalization companies as companies that are included in the Benchmark Index at the time of purchase.

The Fund’s intention is to replicate the constituent securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible. When a replication strategy could have adverse consequences to Fund shareholders, however, the Fund may utilize a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would hold a significant number of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track that index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire index. The Fund does not seek temporary defensive positions when equity markets decline or appear to be overvalued.

Principal Risks

Like all investments, investing in the Fund entails risks, including the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest.

Investment Approach Risk The alternate weighting approach employed by the Underlying Index and the Fund, while designed to enhance potential returns compared to the Benchmark Index, may not produce the desired results. Using revenues as a weighting measure is no guarantee that the Underlying Index or the Fund will outperform the Benchmark Index, and may even cause the Underlying Index or the Fund to underperform the Benchmark Index.

Stock Market Risk Stock market risk is the risk that broad movements in financial markets will adversely affect the price of the Fund’s investments, regardless of how well the companies in which the Fund invests perform. There is also a risk that the price of one or more of the securities or other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio will fall.

Market Trading Risks There can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Although it is expected that Shares will be listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), it is possible that an active trading market may not be maintained.

Premium/Discount Risk As an ETF, Shares generally trade in the secondary market on the Exchange at market prices that change throughout the day. Although it is expected that the market price of Fund Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. You may pay more than NAV when you buy Shares of the Fund on the Exchange, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares on the Exchange.

Non-Correlation Risk The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index. The Fund incurs a number of operating expenses that are not reflected in the Underlying Index, including the cost of buying and selling securities.

The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by comparing the Fund’s performance with a broad measure of market performance and the index the Fund seeks to track. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance for the Fund is available at http://www.revenuesharesetfs.com.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In addition, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold Shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

Portfolio Managers

     Vincent T. Lowry serves as a portfolio manager for the Fund and has ultimate responsibility for the investment management of the Fund. Mr. Lowry is the Chief Executive Officer of VTL and has managed the Fund since its inception.

     Denise Krisko makes the investment decisions for the Fund. Ms. Krisko is the Chief Investment Officer for Index Management Solutions, LLC (“IMS”) and has managed the Fund since February of 2010. IMS is a wholly owned subsidiary of VTL.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in Creation Units consisting of 50,000 Shares. Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange through a broker-dealer. Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV. As such, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund 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 the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
