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. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Expense Example below. Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0007 0.0000 0.0000 0.0007 Estimated expenses for the current fiscal year Expense Example This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual 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. 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 costs would be: 7 23 40 90 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 the annual fund operating expenses or in the Expense Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate for the Predecessor Fund (as defined below) was <span class="xdx_phnt_RGlzY2xvc3VyZSAtIFJpc2svUmV0dXJuIERldGFpbCBEYXRhIHtFbGVtZW50c30A" id="xdx_90E_err--PortfolioTurnoverRate_c20240305__20240305__dei--LegalEntityAxis__custom--S000083897Member_zYLrYZsTu1La">16% of the average value of its portfolio. 0.16 Principal Investment Strategies The Fund employs a “passive management” (or indexing) investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is designed to reflect the performance of large companies listed on U.S. exchanges while excluding fossil fuel, utility and other companies with material climate-related risks. More information about the Index can be found at www.bitadata.com/pages/SPFFXI. The Index The Index is constructed beginning with the largest 500 U.S. companies that trade on regulated U.S. exchanges by market capitalization. As of December 31, 2023, the market capitalization of companies in the Index ranged from approximately $10 billion to $3 trillion. The index administrator, BITA GmbH (the “Index Administrator”), then eliminates companies from this investable universe using data obtained from As You Sow, an unaffiliated non-profit organization that promotes environmental responsibility through shareholder advocacy. As You Sow eliminates companies from the Index based primarily on their risk profile of being exposed to the fossil fuel industry and secondarily, by other exclusionary screens, including companies engaged in deforestation activities, civilian and military firearms manufacturing and related guns/arms sales, prison and border security operations, and tobacco and e-cigarette manufacturing. The elimination of these companies from the Index is intended to foster and support the climate-focused, social investing goals of the Fund. On a periodic basis, As You Sow publishes the current uninvestable lists, which are principally comprised of companies that contribute to climate change through fossil fuel activities. As You Sow designates a company as an uninvestable fossil fuel company if the company is engaged in producing, distributing, or refining fossil fuels; holding reserves of fossil fuels; is a utility that is primarily fossil fuel-powered, or is a producer of equipment for any of the above (i.e., companies that engage in oil, gas, or coal production, and related activities). The Index also excludes other uninvestable companies as determined from time to time by As You Sow. If a company is included in As You Sow’s uninvestable list, that company is not eligible for inclusion in the Index. The Index Administrator then re-weights the remaining companies on a free-float market capitalization basis. A company’s free float-adjusted market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the number of shares readily available in the market by the price of such shares. The Index is typically composed of approximately 400-450 companies and is rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly as of close on the third Friday of March, June, September, and December, respectively, based on data as of the close of business on the Friday of such reconstitution month. As of December 31, 2023 the Index was composed of 417 companies. The Fund’s Investment Strategy The Fund attempts to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the component securities that make up the Index in weightings that approximate the relative composition of the Index. By investing in component securities of the Index, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities issued by companies that do not (1) derive any revenue from the sale of fossil fuels, (2) hold fossil fuel related assets or reserves, (3) use fossil fuels for power generation, or (4) produce fossil fuel-related equipment. By excluding companies that engage in these fossil fuel activities, the Index, and therefore the Fund, are not exposed to companies with material climate change risk. The Fund may invest in companies that use fossil fuel as part of their business or have used fossil fuels in the past. Reflection Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), serves as the investment adviser for the Fund and is responsible for trading on behalf of the Fund in line with the Index. Consistent with the Index, the Adviser rebalances the Fund quarterly. The Fund will generally use a “replication” strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it will invest in all the component securities of the Index in approximately the same weightings as in the Index. This is referred to as a passive or indexing approach to investing. To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Index was not concentrated in any industry or group of industries; however, the Index, and therefore the Predecessor Fund (defined below), had significant exposure to the information technology sector. As of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, the Predecessor Fund (defined below) had invested 31% of its net assets in the information technology sector. Climate-Focused Investing By investing in the Index, the Fund will not invest in companies that contribute to climate change in a material way through their fossil fuel activities. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in 2021, 73% of greenhouse gas emissions came from burning fossil fuels. The Fund also seeks to vote proxies in a climate-focused way, such as voting for proposals to reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas emissions, using voting guidelines from As You Vote, an affiliate of As You Sow. Principal Risks Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider your own investment goals, the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested, and the amount of risk you are willing to take. Remember, in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund over long or even short periods of time. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are: <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 6pt"><tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0"></td><td style="width: 0.25in">•</td><td style="text-align: justify">Climate Investing Considerations Risk. Considerations related to climate risk, such as environmental criteria (e.g., fossil fuel screens), applied to the Index’s construction may limit the number of investment opportunities available to the Fund, and as a result, at times, the Fund may underperform funds that are not subject to similar investment restrictions. For example, the Index may exclude certain securities due to climate-focused considerations when other investment considerations would suggest that investing in such securities would be advantageous. The Fund may also underperform funds that invest in the energy and utilities sectors, particularly in times of rising oil, gas and energy prices.</td></tr></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 6pt"><tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="width: 0"></td><td style="width: 0.25in">•</td><td style="text-align: justify">General Market Risk; Recent Market Events.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the market as a whole. U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including rising inflation and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. While U.S. and global economies are continuing to recover from the effects of COVID-19, labor shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand have restricted growth. Uncertainties regarding the level of central banks’ interest rate increases, political events, the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts, trade tensions and the possibility of a national or global recession have also contributed to market volatility.</td></tr></table>Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region.

In connection with the Reorganization, shares of the Predecessor Fund will be exchanged for shares of the Fund.
