[1] Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund may pay a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per year of the Fund's average daily net assets. No 12b-1 fee is currently paid by the Fund and the Fund's Board of Trustees ("Board") has not approved any payments under the plan.
[2] Other Expenses and Total Annual Operating Expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
[3] Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. ("Advisor") has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement to 0.95% of the Fund's average annual daily net assets ("Expense Cap"). The Expense Cap will remain in effect until at least September 30, 2013. The expense cap may be terminated earlier only upon the approval of the Board. The Advisor may recoup fees reduced or expenses reimbursed at any time within three years from the year such expenses were incurred, so long as the repayment does not cause the Expense Cap to be exceeded.
Example
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 redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example does not reflect the effect of brokerage commissions or other transaction costs you paid in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and the expense reduction/reimbursement remains in place for the contracted period only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
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. Since the Fund has yet to commence operations, no portfolio turnover information is available for its most recently completed fiscal year.
Principal Investment Strategy
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and, under normal conditions, will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the exchange-listed equity securities of ecologically-focused companies.

The Fund will primarily invest (at least 65% of total assets) in the U.S. exchange-listed common stock of ecologically-focused companies organized in the U.S. (“U.S. Companies”). The Fund, however, may also invest up to 35% of total assets in the exchange-listed common stock (or the equivalent thereof) and sponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) of ecologically-focused companies organized outside the U.S. (“Foreign Companies”). Sponsored ADRs are securities issued by a U.S. bank or trust company with the cooperation of a foreign company evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by that foreign company. The Fund may invest in companies of all sizes.

The Adviser will apply the following ecologically-focused criteria to identify the equity securities of U.S. and Foreign Companies. Ecologically-focused companies are companies that have positioned their business to respond to increased environmental legislation, cultural shifts towards environmentally conscious consumption, and capital investments in environmentally oriented projects. These companies include, but are not limited to, all U.S. and Foreign Companies that are components of one or more well-recognized environmentally-focused indices (such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes and the DB NASDAQ OMX Clean Tech Index).

The Fund will also invest in ecologically-focused companies which are not included in a well-recognized environmentally-focused index but generate at least 1/3 of their revenues from activities aligned with one or more of the following environmental themes (“Environmental Themes”):
  • Alternative renewable power such as solar, wind, geothermal, hydro or biomass;
  • Alternative renewable fuel such as biofuel, biomass or hydrogen;
  • Alternative engines such as electric, flywheel or micro turbines;
  • Energy efficiency such as energy efficient building materials, power, lighting, heating, or fuel;
  • Resource conservation/healthier use of resources such as recycling or renewable materials; and
  • Healthy lifestyle such as pollution control or organic foods.
A company that is not included in a well-recognized environmentally-focused index or does not generate 1/3 of its revenue from activities aligned with one or more Environmental Themes shall also be considered an ecologically-focused company if the Advisor believes that environmentally conscious trends such as a stronger demand for chemical-free cleaning and farming, recycling, alternative fuel and energy, energy efficiency, pollution control, or environmental cleanup/restoration will positively impact that company’s future revenue (“Environmentally Conscious Companies”). Ecologically-focused companies also include those companies that the Advisor believes demonstrate sustainable environmental practices (“Other Environmental Companies”). Sustainable environmental practices include, but are not limited to, demonstrated progress in:
  • Improving energy and resource efficiency;
  • Reducing emissions from business operations;
  • Financial and operational support of renewable materials and less pollutive energy sources; or
  • Using or promoting the use of efficient buildings (measured by such labels as LEED or Energy Star).
The Fund’s investment in the securities of Environmentally Conscious Companies and Other Environmental Companies will be limited to 10% of the Fund’s total assets.

The strategy of investing in ecologically-focused companies may result in the Fund investing greater than 25% of its total assets in one or more market sectors (“Sectors”). A Sector is a large grouping of companies operating within the market that share similar characteristics. The ten most commonly recognized market Sectors are: utilities, consumer staples, information technology, healthcare, financials, energy, consumer discretionary, materials, industrials, and telecommunication services. Sectors are comprised of multiple individual industries. The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in an individual industry as defined by the Standard Industrial Classification Codes utilized by the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.
Principal Investment Risks
All ETFs, including the Fund, take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), market price and returns include:

Active Trading Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance) and could increase the amount of taxes you owe by generating short-term gains, which may be taxed at a higher rate.

Currency Risk. Securities denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in currency rates and by substantial currency conversion costs.

Ecological Investment Risk. The Fund’s ecological investment criteria limit the types of investments the Fund may make. This could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that do not have an ecological focus.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

ETF Risk. The Fund is an actively-managed ETF and the Fund’s NAV will fluctuate based on changes in the prices of the securities it owns. The market price of Fund shares will fluctuate based on changes in the Fund’s NAV as well as changes in the supply and demand of its shares in the secondary market. It is also possible that an active secondary market for Fund shares may not develop and market trading in the Fund shares may be halted under certain circumstances.

Foreign Custodial Services Risk. Custodial services are generally more expensive in foreign jurisdictions than in the U.S. In addition, because the procedures for settling securities transactions in foreign markets differ from those in the U.S., it may be more difficult for the Fund to make intended purchases and sales of securities in foreign countries.

Foreign Investment Risk. Investments in foreign securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in U.S. securities because, among other things, they involve risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from differences between the regulations and reporting standards and practices to which U.S. and foreign issuers are subject. To the extent foreign securities are denominated in foreign currencies, their values may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities are typically increased by investing in emerging market countries.

Government Intervention and Extreme Volatility Risk. Instability in the financial markets has led the U.S. Government and other governments to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility, and in some cases a lack of liquidity. Increased government regulation could have an adverse effect on a Fund.

Growth Investing Risk. The growth stocks in which the Fund invests are typically more volatile than value stocks and may depend more on price changes than dividends for return.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities on which a Fund focuses may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Large Cap Stock Risk. The Fund’s investment in larger companies is subject to the risk that larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss.

Management Risk. The Advisor may not successfully implement the Fund’s investment strategies and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other investment vehicles with similar investment objectives and strategies.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Market Price Variance Risk. There may be times when the market price per share and NAV of the Fund may vary significantly, and because most investors buy and sell shares of the Fund in the secondary market at market price, investors may pay more than NAV when buying Fund shares, and receive less than NAV when selling Fund shares. In addition, investors will incur certain transaction costs in purchasing and selling Fund shares in the secondary market.

Mid/Small Cap Stock Risk. Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies.

Sector Risk. If the Fund invests more than 25% of its total assets in securities of issuers within a particular Sector, it is subject to increased risk. Performance will generally depend on the performance of the Sector, which may differ in direction and degree from that of the overall U.S. stock markets. In addition, financial, economic, business and political developments affecting the Sector may have a greater effect on the Fund than they would if the Fund did not focus on that Sector.
Performance
The Fund has yet to commence operations as of the date of this Prospectus. Annual return information will be incorporated once the Fund has operated for a full calendar year. This performance will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year-to-year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.
