Understanding Investment Risk Investing involves risks, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will achieve its stated objective. Investments in the United States may result in the Fund being more susceptible to economic, political, regulatory, or other events or conditions affecting issuers within the United States. They may be subject to greater price volatility and risk of loss than a fund holding more geographically diverse investments. International investments may also be susceptible to the same events or conditions as well as unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, or differences in generally accepted accounting principles in other nations. The Fund is non-diversified. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in small- and mid-size companies may be more volatile and less liquid than those of large companies. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs) whose share values can vary widely due to limited trading experience and company information. Investing in IPOs carries higher risks and costs compared to established companies, along with market and liquidity risks. The Fund may trade frequently, increasing transaction costs and taxes due to short-term gains. Its performance depends on the Adviser’s investment decisions, which may not always be accurate, potentially leading to underperformance compared to similar funds. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are bought and sold through exchange trading at market price (not NAV) and shares are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Premium/Discount is the percent difference between the Market price and the NAV price. Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The GQG US Equity ETF is an actively managed ETF that does not seek to replicate the performance of the S&P 500.
