PowerShares Balanced Multi-Asset

Allocation Portfolio

  Bats BZX Exchange, Inc.  

 

Before you invest, you may wish to review the Fund’s prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund’s prospectus and other information about the Fund online at www.powershares.com/prospectus. You can also get this information at no cost by calling Invesco Distributors, Inc. at (800) 983-0903 or by sending an e-mail request to info@powershares.com. The Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated February 15, 2017 (as each may be amended or supplemented), are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus.

 

Investment Objective

The PowerShares Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio (the “Fund”) seeks to provide current income and capital appreciation.

Fund Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund (“Shares”). Investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Shares, which are not reflected in the table or the example below.

 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses  
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)
     
Management Fees     0.05%  
Other Expenses(1)     0.00%  
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses(2)     0.34%  
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses     0.39%  

 

(1) “Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
(2) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other investment companies, including the Underlying ETFs (as defined below). Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year. The actual “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” will vary with changes in the allocations of the Fund’s assets. These expenses are based on the total expense ratio of the Underlying ETFs disclosed in each Underlying ETFs most recent shareholder report. Please note that the amount of “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” shown in the above table may differ from the ratio of expenses to average net assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of this Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include indirect expenses such as Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

This 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. This example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy

and sell Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs, based on these assumptions, would be:

 

1 Year   3 Years
$40   $125

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it purchases and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate will cause the Fund to incur additional transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, may affect the Fund’s performance. At the date of this Prospectus, the Fund has not yet commenced operations and turnover data therefore is not available.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund is a “fund of funds,” meaning that it invests its assets primarily in other underlying ETFs (“Underlying ETFs”), rather than in securities of individual companies. Under normal circumstances, most of those Underlying ETFs will be ETFs that are advised by the Fund’s adviser or one of its affiliates (the “PowerShares ETFs”). However, at times the Fund also may invest a portion of its assets in Underlying ETFs that are advised by unaffiliated advisers. The Fund and the PowerShares ETFs are part of the same group of investment companies.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by allocating its assets using a balanced investment style that seeks to maximize the benefits of diversification, which focuses on investing portion of Fund assets both in Underlying ETFs that invest in fixed-income securities (“Fixed Income ETFs”) as well as in Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in equity securities (“Equity ETFs”). Specifically, the Fund’s target allocation is to invest approximately 50%-70% of its total assets in Equity ETFs and approximately 30%-50% of its total assets in Fixed Income ETFs. Approximately 10%-25% of the Fund’s assets will be allocated to Underlying ETFs that invest primarily in foreign equity

and foreign fixed income securities, as well as American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) and global depositary receipts (“GDRs”) that are based on those securities. Some of those Underlying ETFs’ investments are in emerging markets.

The Fund’s sub-adviser uses the following investment process to construct the Fund’s portfolio: (1) a strategic allocation across broad asset classes (i.e., equities and fixed income securities) and particular investment factors within those classes (e.g., for fixed income securities, exposure to domestic, international, corporate, government, high-yield and investment grade bonds; for equity securities, exposure to domestic and international stocks); (2) selection of Underlying ETFs that best represent those broad asset classes and factor exposures, based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative criteria (such as management experience and structure, investment process, performance and risk metrics); (3) determination by the Fund’s sub-adviser of target weightings in each Underlying ETF in a manner that seeks to manage the amount of active risk contributed by each Underlying ETF; and (4) ongoing monitoring of the Fund’s performance and risk. The Fund typically holds a limited number of securities (generally 10-20).

Based on the portfolio managers’ research, the strategic allocations of the portfolio are diversified to gain exposure to areas of the market that the portfolio managers believe may perform well over a full market cycle, while still creating a balanced portfolio designed to provide current income and capital appreciation consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. At any given time, the Fund’s asset class allocations may not match the above percentage weightings due to market fluctuations, cash flows and other factors. The Fund’s sub-adviser may add or eliminate certain Underlying ETFs from the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund’s sub-adviser may also change the target percentage of the Fund’s assets allocated to a given asset class or Underlying ETF, all without shareholder approval. A list of the Underlying ETFs and their target weightings is located in the Fund’s prospectus.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The following summarizes the principal risks of the Fund.

The Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Active Trading Risk. Active trading of portfolio securities may result in added expenses, a lower return and increased tax liability.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk. Only an authorized participant (“AP”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as APs on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). Such market makers have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders; consequently, there is no assurance that market makers will establish or maintain an active trading market for the Shares. In addition, to the extent that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units (as defined below), the Shares may be

more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting.

Fund of Funds Risk. Because it invests primarily in other funds, the Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of the Underlying ETFs. An investment in the Fund is subject to the risks associated with the Underlying ETFs. In addition, at times, certain of the segments of the market represented by Underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests may be out of favor and underperform other segments. The Fund will indirectly pay a proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying ETFs in which it invests (including operating expenses and management fees), in addition to the fees and expenses it already will pay to the Adviser.

Investment Risk. As with all investments, an investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk. Investors in the Fund could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time.

Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. In managing the Fund’s portfolio holdings, the Sub-Adviser applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results.

Market Risk. Securities held by the Fund and the Underlying ETFs are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices.

Market Trading Risk. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for the Shares, losses from trading in secondary markets, and disruption in the creation/redemption process of the Fund. Any of these factors may lead to the Shares trading at a premium or discount to the Fund’s NAV.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Because the Fund is non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in Share price than would occur in a diversified fund. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively small number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

Portfolio Size Risk. Under normal market conditions, the Fund typically will hold a small number of positions (approximately 10-20 Underlying ETFs). To the extent that a significant portion of the Fund’s total assets is invested in a limited number of holdings, the appreciation or depreciation of any one Underlying ETF may have a greater impact on the Fund’s NAV than it would if the Fund held a greater number of constituents.

Underlying Fixed Income ETFs Risk. The Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its investments in underlying Fixed Income ETFs:

Call Risk. If interest rates fall, it is possible that issuers of callable securities with high interest coupons will “call” (or

 

 

 

  2  

 

PSMB PowerShares Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio  


prepay) their bonds before their maturity date. If an issuer exercised such a call during a period of declining interest rates, the Underlying ETF may have to replace such called security with a lower yielding security. If that were to happen, the Underlying ETF’s net investment income could fall.

Changing Fixed Income Market Conditions Risk. The current historically low interest rate environment was created in part by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) and certain foreign central banks keeping the federal funds and equivalent foreign rates at, near or below zero. The “tapering” in 2015 of the FRB’s quantitative easing program, combined with the FRB’s raising of the target range for the Federal Funds Rate (and continued possible fluctuations in equivalent foreign rates) may expose fixed income markets to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity for certain fixed income investments, particularly those with longer maturities, although it is difficult to predict the impact of this rate increase and any future rate increases on various markets. In addition, decreases in fixed income dealer market-making capacity may also potentially lead to heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the fixed income markets. As a result, the value of an Underlying ETF’s investments and share price may decline. Changes in central bank policies could also result in higher than normal shareholder redemptions, which could potentially increase portfolio turnover and transaction costs.

Fixed-Income Securities Risk. Fixed-income securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the value of a fixed-income security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up. Fixed-income securities with longer maturities typically are more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than securities with shorter maturities. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will be unable and/or unwilling to make timely interest payments and/or repay the principal on its debt. Debt instruments are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which may be reflected in credit ratings. There is a possibility that the credit rating of a fixed-income security may be downgraded after purchase, which may adversely affect the value of the security.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers, and inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. Investments in foreign securities also may be subject to dividend withholding or confiscatory taxes,

currency blockage and/or transfer restrictions and higher transactional costs.

Emerging Markets Investment Risk. The risks of foreign investments are exacerbated in emerging market countries, and investments in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries involve risks often not associated with investments in the securities of issuers in developed countries. Securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater price fluctuations than securities in more developed markets. Emerging markets usually are subject to political and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than are more developed markets. Securities law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, the enforcement of systems of taxation at federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries may be inconsistent and subject to sudden change.

Global Bonds Risk. Global bonds are subject to the same risks as other debt securities, notably credit risk, market risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities, including greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability.

High Yield Securities (Junk Bond) Risk. Compared to higher quality debt securities, high yield securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) involve a greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer because they are generally unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditors’ claims. They are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. The values of junk bonds often fluctuate more in response to company, political, regulatory or economic developments than higher quality bonds. Their values can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of economic difficulty when the bonds could be difficult to value or sell at a fair price. Credit ratings on junk bonds do not necessarily reflect their actual market value. If the issuer of non-investment grade securities defaults, an Underlying ETF may incur additional expenses to seek recovery.

Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security held by an Underlying ETF may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when a particular investment is difficult to purchase or sell. If an Underlying ETF invests in illiquid securities or current portfolio securities become illiquid, it may reduce the returns of such Underlying ETF because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price.

Reinvestment Risk. Proceeds from a current investment of and Underlying ETF, both interest payments and principal payments, may be reinvested in instruments that offer lower yields than the current investment due in part to market conditions and the interest rate environment at the time of reinvestment.

Risk of Investing in Loans. Investments in loans are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Default in the payment of interest or principal on a loan will result in a reduction in its value. Although the loans in which Underlying ETFs generally invest are be secured by specific collateral, there can be no assurance that such collateral will satisfy the borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal or that such collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of the bankruptcy of a borrower, access to the collateral may be limited by bankruptcy or other insolvency loans. There is no organized exchange on which loans are traded and reliable market quotations may not be readily available. Therefore, elements of judgment may play a greater role in valuation of loans than for securities with a more developed secondary market. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain loans, the market may be subject to volatility, irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads, decreased liquidity and extended trade settlement periods, any of which may impair the ability to sell loans within a desired time frame or at an acceptable price. Extended trade settlement periods for certain loans may result in cash not being immediately available upon sale of the loan. Some loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate the loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the borrower or take other action detrimental to lenders, such as invalidation of loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the borrower. Investments in loans also are subject to the risk of changes in legislation or state or federal regulations. If such legislation or regulations impose additional requirements or restrictions on the ability of financial institutions to make loans, the availability of loans for investment may be adversely affected. Many loans are not registered with the SEC or any state securities commission and often are not rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Generally, there is less readily available, reliable information about most loans than is the case for many other types of securities. Although a loan may be senior to equity and other debt securities in a borrower’s capital structure, such obligations may be structurally subordinated to obligations of the borrower’s subsidiaries.

Short-Term and Intermediate-Term Bond Risk. Certain Underlying ETFs invest in bonds with short or intermediate terms (i.e., five years or less). The amount of time until a fixed-income security matures can lead to various risks, including changes in interest rates over the life of a bond. Short-term and intermediate-term fixed income securities generally provide lower returns than longer-term fixed income securities. The average maturity of an Underlying ETFs investments will affect the volatility of the Underlying ETF’s share price.

Sovereign Debt Risk. Risks of sovereign debt (i.e., bonds issued by foreign governments) include the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service burden to the economy as a whole, and the government debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund and the political constraints to which a government debtor may be subject. The governmental authority that controls the repayment of sovereign debt may be unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/or interest when due in accordance with the terms of such securities due to the extent of its foreign reserves. If an issuer of sovereign debt defaults on payments of principal and/or interest, an Underlying ETF may have limited legal recourse against the issuer and/or guarantor. In certain cases, remedies must be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party itself, and the Underlying ETF’s ability to obtain recourse may be limited. These issues may be exacerbated in emerging market countries, as government obligors in emerging market countries historically are among the world’s largest debtors, and certain emerging market issuers have experienced substantial difficulties in meeting their obligations.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government securities include securities that are issued or guaranteed by the United States Treasury, by various agencies of the U.S. Government, or by various instrumentalities which have been established or sponsored by the U.S. Government. U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. In the case of those U.S. Government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the security for ultimate repayment, and may not be able to assert a claim against the United States itself in the event that the agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. The U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market value of their securities, and consequently, the value of such securities may fluctuate.

Valuation Risk. Financial information related to securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less reliable than information related to securities of U.S. issuers, which may make it difficult to obtain a current price for a non-U.S. security held by an Underlying ETF. In certain circumstances, market quotations may not be readily available for some securities, and those securities may be fair valued. The value established for a security through fair valuation may be different from what would be produced if the security had been valued using market quotations. Securities that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their value from one day to the next than would be the case if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Underlying ETFs could sell a portfolio security for the value established for it at any time, and it is

 

 

 

  4  

 

PSMB PowerShares Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio  


possible that an Underlying ETF would incur a loss because a security is sold at a discount to its established value.

Valuation Time Risk. Certain Underlying ETFs may invest in foreign bonds and, because foreign exchanges may be open on days when those Underlying ETFs do not price their Shares, the value of such non-U.S. securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or sell your Shares. As are result, trading spreads and the resulting premium or discount on the Shares may widen, and, therefore, increase the difference between the market price of the Shares and the NAV of such Shares.

Underlying Equity ETFs Risk. The Fund may be subject to the following risks as a result of its investments in underlying Equity ETFs:

ADR and GDR Risk. ADRs are certificates that evidence ownership of shares of a foreign issuer and are alternatives to purchasing directly the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. GDRs are certificates issued by an international bank that generally are traded and denominated in the currencies of countries other than the home country of the issuer of the underlying shares. ADRs and GDRs may be subject to certain of the risks associated with direct investments in the securities of foreign companies, such as currency, political, economic and market risks, because their values depend on the performance of the non-dollar denominated underlying foreign securities.

Certain countries may limit the ability to convert ADRs into the underlying foreign securities and vice versa, which may cause the securities of the foreign company to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the related ADR. ADRs may be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by a depositary and the issuer of the underlying security. A depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the deposited security. Unsponsored receipts may involve higher expenses and may be less liquid. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of such facilities, and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts in respect of the deposited securities.

GDRs can involve currency risk since, unlike ADRs, they may not be U.S. dollar-denominated.

Currency Risk. Certain Equity ETFs may invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated equity securities of foreign issuers. Because those ETFs’ NAVs are determined in U.S. dollars, their NAVs could decline if the currency of the non-U.S. market in which those ETFs invest depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the value of the holdings, measured in the foreign currency, increases.

Equity Risk. Equity risk is the risk that the value of equity securities, including common stocks, may fall due to both changes in general economic conditions that impact the market as a whole, as well as factors that directly relate to a

specific company or its industry. Such general economic conditions include changes in interest rates, periods of market turbulence or instability, or general and prolonged periods of economic decline and cyclical change. It is possible that a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks that the Fund holds. In addition, equity risk includes the risk that investor sentiment toward particular industries will become negative. The value of a company’s common stock may fall solely because of factors, such as an increase in production costs, that negatively impact other companies in the same region, industry or sector of the market. A company’s common stock also may decline significantly in price over a short period of time due to factors specific to that company, including decisions made by its management or lower demand for the company’s products or services. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report or the failure to make anticipated dividend payments, may depress the value of common stock.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involve risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity, greater market volatility, decreased publicly available information and less reliable financial information about issuers, and inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers. Foreign securities also are subject to the risks of expropriation, nationalization, political instability or other adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. Investments in foreign securities also may be subject to dividend withholding or confiscatory taxes, currency blockage and/or transfer restrictions and higher transactional costs. Fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the values of other currencies may adversely affect investments in foreign securities.

Emerging Markets Investment Risk. The risks of foreign investments are exacerbated in emerging market countries, and investments in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries involve risks often not associated with investments in the securities of issuers in developed countries. Securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater price fluctuations than securities in more developed markets. Emerging markets usually are subject to political and economic instability, uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than are more developed markets. Securities law in many emerging market countries is relatively new and unsettled. Therefore, laws regarding foreign investment in emerging market securities, securities regulation, title to securities, and shareholder rights may change quickly and unpredictably. In addition, the enforcement of systems of taxation at federal, regional and local levels in emerging market countries may be inconsistent and subject to sudden change.

Geographic Risk. A natural or other disaster could occur in a geographic region in which an Underlying ETF invests, which

 

 

 

  5  

 

PSMB PowerShares Balanced Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio  


could affect the economy or particular business operations of companies in that specific geographic region and adversely impact investments in the affected region.

Industry Concentration Risk. To the extent that its respective index concentrates in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector, an Equity ETF will also concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, that ETF faces more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks may include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources, adverse labor relations, political or world events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition or new product introductions that may affect the profitability or viability of companies in an industry. In addition, at times, such industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Often small- and mid-capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Performance

The Fund has not commenced operations and therefore does not have a performance history. Once available, the Fund’s performance information will be accessible on the Fund’s website at www.powershares.com and will provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund.

Management of the Fund

Investment Adviser. Invesco PowerShares Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”).

Investment Sub-Adviser. Invesco Advisers, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”).

Portfolio Managers. The following individuals are responsible jointly and primarily for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

 

Name    Title with Adviser/Sub-Adviser/Trust   

Date Began

Managing
the Fund

Peter Hubbard    Director of Portfolio Management of the Adviser and Vice President of the Trust    Since Inception
Michael Jeanette    Senior Portfolio Manager of the Adviser    Since Inception
Duy Nguyen    Portfolio Manager of the Sub-Adviser    Since Inception
Jacob Borbidge    Portfolio Manager of the Sub-Adviser    Since Inception

Purchase and Sale of Shares

The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only with APs and only in large blocks of 100,000 Shares (each block of Shares is called a “Creation Unit”) or multiples thereof (“Creation Unit Aggregations”), generally in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of securities. However, the Fund also reserves the right to permit or require Creation Units to be issued in exchange for cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

Individual Shares of the Fund may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on the Bats BZX Exchange, Inc. (“BATS”) and because the Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions will generally be taxable, typically as either ordinary income or long-term capital gain, unless you are invested through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account; in such cases, taxation will be deferred until assets are withdrawn from the plan. A sale of Shares may result in short- or long-term capital gain or loss.
