Investments in high-yield/high-risk bonds (&#34;junk bonds&#34;) and floating-rate loans (typically rated below investment grade) involve greater credit and default risk than higher-rated securities and may offer higher yields in exchange for increased risk.

Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV per share. Because ETF shares are traded in the secondary market, a broker may charge a commission to execute transactions in the shares, and an investor may incur the cost of the spread between the price at which a dealer will buy shares and the price at which a dealer will sell shares.

Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Total Returns are calculated using the daily 4:00pm net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times

    <p>Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. All three ETFs are subject to liquidity risk (the risk that an investment may be difficult to purchase, value, or sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or restrictions on resale), credit risk (the risk that an issuer may be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations, resulting in default), and foreign-markets risk.

    <p><strong>Additional Risk –</strong> Aristotle Multi-Sector Income ETF: Because the Fund may invest significantly in below-investment-grade securities and floating-rate loans, it may be subject to greater credit, liquidity, and market risks. This section reflects the risk disclosures as provided in the press materials and is intended to inform potential investors of the complex risk profile associated with these strategies.</p>
