Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]

This 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 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]

The Fund pays 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 is new, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of a portfolio of twenty-five (25) stocks selected from the S&P 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) that Vesper Capital Management, LLC (the “Index Creator”) believes will most likely benefit from the “short-term reversal” effect, as determined by applying a proprietary algorithm (“Chow’s Ratio” or “Algorithm”).

 

Short-term reversal effect generally means that, on average, stocks with relatively poor weekly (risk-adjusted) performance, may reverse and earn higher returns relative to peer stocks the following week. Short-term reversal investment strategies have recently developed due to the accessibility and availability of short-term pricing data and lower trading costs.

 

The eligible universe of Index components includes all companies in the S&P 500. From that universe, according to the Index’s quantitative, rules-based methodology, 25 securities are selected by S&P Dow Jones Indices, LLC (“SPDJI” or the “Index Provider”) applying Chow’s Ratio to historical short-term price data of the companies’ stocks to seek to identify those securities that have the best chance to experience short-term reversal as well as maintain minimum risk exposure and transaction costs. Chow’s Ratio is a proprietary algorithm that uses short-term pricing data and volatility measures to identify stocks that have experienced one-week price declines and assesses their price stability to identify which stocks are fundamentally sound and have the greatest potential for reversal and which ones are fundamentally flawed and have the greatest potential for further decline. The stocks with the best chance of reversal are ultimately selected for the Index. After applying the Algorithm provided by the Index Creator, SPDJI selects the 25 stocks with the lowest ratios (where a lower ratio represents a higher likelihood of experiencing short-term reversal) for the Index.

 

The Index is evaluated and re-balanced on a weekly basis. Index components are equal weighted at each weekly reconstitution of the Index. A stock in the Index is only removed at re-balance if it has been assigned a ratio that has risen out of the top 50 stocks of the S&P 500 with the lowest ratios and replace with the stock with the next lowest ratio. The Index is provided and calculated by SPDJI which the Index Creator has contracted with to create the Index.

 

The Fund employs a “passive management” investment strategy designed to track the performance of the Index. Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the “Adviser”), the Fund’s adviser, generally will use a replication methodology, meaning it will invest in all of the securities composing the Index in proportion to their respective weightings in the Index. However, the Adviser may utilize a sampling methodology under various circumstances, including when it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the securities in the Index. The Adviser expects that over time, if the Fund has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Fund’s performance, before fees and expenses, and that of the Index will be 95% or better. A figure of 100% would indicate perfect correlation.

 

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investments that are not included in the Index, but that the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the performance of the Index.

 

The Fund will concentrate its investments ( i.e. , invest more than 25% of its net assets) in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent that the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries. In addition, in replicating the Index, the Fund may from time to time invest a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in one or more sectors. Due to the Fund’s weekly reconstitution, the Fund’s concentration in an industry or group of industries or a particular sector may change from week to week.

 

The Index was created by Vesper Capital Management and is provided by and calculated by SPDJI. Neither Vesper Capital Management nor SPDJI is an affiliate of the Fund or the Adviser. The Adviser has entered into a license agreement with Vesper Capital Management to use the Index. The Adviser is sublicensing rights to the Index to the Fund at no charge.

Risk [Heading] Principal Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]

As with all funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Fund are set forth below. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency.

 

Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk: Because the Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), only a limited number of institutional investors (known as “Authorized Participants”) are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund. 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, Fund shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants 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.

 

Common Stock Risk . Common stock holds the lowest priority in the capital structure of a company, and therefore takes the largest share of the company’s risk and its accompanying volatility. The value of the common stock held by the Fund may fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate, or facts relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests.

 

Concentration Risk : Because the Fund’s assets will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or group of industries.

 

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, which may result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

 

Index Tracking Risk . The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index.

 

Issuer-Specific Risk . Fund performance depends on the performance of individual securities to which the Fund has exposure. Issuer-specific events, including changes in the financial condition of an issuer, can have a negative impact on the value of the Fund.

 

Large Capitalization Risk . Returns on investments in securities of large companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of smaller and mid-sized companies.

 

Market Risk . The market price of a security or instrument could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of a security may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.

 

Methodology Risk. The Fund seeks to track the performance of the Index, which selects stocks of companies utilizing a methodology that relies on Chow’s Ratio, a proprietary algorithm. The Index is the first practical application of Chow’s Ratio. No assurance can be given that stocks of companies chosen for the Index will outperform stocks of other companies. Moreover, there is no guarantee that the Index methodology will generate or produce the intended results, and stocks of companies selected for the Index may underperform stocks of companies that have been excluded from the Index.

 

New Fund Risk. As a new fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund’s distributor does not maintain a secondary market in the Shares.

 

Operational Risk . The Fund and its service providers may experience disruptions that arise from human error, processing and communications errors, counterparty or third-party errors, technology or systems failures, any of which may have an adverse impact on the Fund.

 

Passive Investment Risk . The Fund is not actively managed and therefore the Fund would not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Index or the selling of shares is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Index.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk . The Fund may trade all or a significant portion of the securities in its portfolio in connection with the weekly rebalances and reconstitutions of its Index. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.

 

REIT Risk. The Index may include REITs. Adverse economic, business or political developments affecting real estate could have a major effect on the value of the Fund’s investments in REITs. Investing in REITs may subject the Fund to risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate, such as decreases in real estate values, overbuilding, increased competition and other risks related to local or general economic conditions, increases in operating costs and property taxes, changes in zoning laws, casualty or condemnation losses, possible environmental liabilities, regulatory limitations on rent and fluctuations in rental income. In addition, REITs are subject to the possibility of failing to qualify for the favorable U.S. federal income tax treatment generally available to them under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and failing to maintain exemption from the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

 

Sector Focus Risk . The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors.

 

Trading Risk . Shares of the Fund may trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) above or below their NAV. The NAV of Shares will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. In addition, although the Fund’s Shares are currently listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Fund Shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable.
