Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The fund invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. companies, with a focus on value stocks that offer the potential for capital growth, current income, or both. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of the fund’s net assets in large-cap companies, which, for purposes of this policy, are of a size similar to those in the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Index”). This policy may be changed only after 60 days’ notice to shareholders. As of October 31, 2025, the Index was composed of companies having market capitalizations of between approximately $1.1 billion to $3.4 trillion. The fund may also invest in midsize companies. Value stocks are issued by companies that the Investment Manager believes are currently undervalued by the market. If the Investment Manager is correct and other investors ultimately recognize the value of the company, the price of its stock may rise. The Investment Manager may consider, among other factors, a company’s valuation, financial strength, growth potential, competitive position in its industry, projected future earnings, cash flows and dividends when deciding whether to buy or sell investments.

The fund is an actively managed ETF that operates pursuant to an exemptive order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Order”) and does not publicly disclose its complete portfolio holdings each business day. Instead, the fund publishes each business day on its website a “Tracking Basket,” which is designed to closely track the daily performance of the fund but is not the fund’s actual portfolio. The Tracking Basket is comprised of: (1) select recently disclosed portfolio holdings and/or select securities from the universe from which the fund’s investments are selected (“Strategy Components”); (2) liquid ETFs that convey information about the types of instruments (that are not otherwise fully represented by the Strategy Components) in which the fund invests (“Representative ETFs”); and (3) cash and cash equivalents. For additional information regarding the Tracking Basket, see “Additional information about the fund — Tracking basket structure” in the prospectus.

The fund also publishes each business day on its website the “Tracking Basket Weight Overlap,” which is the percentage weight overlap between the holdings of the prior business day’s Tracking Basket compared to the holdings of the fund that formed the basis for the fund’s calculation of net asset value per share at the end of the prior business day. The Tracking Basket Weight Overlap is designed to provide investors with an understanding of how similar the Tracking Basket is to the fund’s actual portfolio in percentage terms.
