Foreside Fund Services, LLC, Distributor. U.S. Global Investors is the investment adviser. SEA, JETS and GOAU are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Because the funds concentrate their investments in specific industries, the funds may be subject to greater risks and fluctuations than a portfolio representing a broader range of industries. The funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate a larger portion of their assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The funds invest in foreign securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The funds may invest in the securities of smaller-capitalization companies, which may be more volatile than those of larger, more established companies. Investments in gold, precious metals and minerals are subject to significant short-term price fluctuations and geopolitical, economic and regulatory risks. We believe these sectors are best limited to 5%–10% of a portfolio. Smart beta 2.0 combines the benefits of passive investing and the advantages of active investing strategies. The U.S. Global Sea to Sky Cargo Index is a benchmark designed to track the performance of companies involved in the global sea shipping and air freight industries. It includes marine shipping, air freight and courier, and port and harbor companies from both developed and emerging markets. The index aims to provide diversified exposure to these sectors by including companies across different market capitalizations.  Foreign and emerging market investments add risks of currency fluctuation, reduced liquidity, political instability and limited regulatory oversight.
