Fund Description
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that, under normal circumstances, seeks to achieve its investment objective principally by investing in U.S.-listed exchange-traded funds (U.S. Equity ETFs, and each, a U.S. Equity ETF) that replicate the performance of broad-based U.S. equity indexes (U.S. Equity Indexes, and each, a U.S. Equity Index), equity securities of companies within such indexes (U.S. Equity Securities, and collectively with U.S. Equity ETFs and U.S. Equity Indexes, U.S. Equity Investments), and utilizing options and/or options spreads on U.S. Equity Investments. The equity securities and options held by the Fund will be listed on U.S. exchanges, and may include common stocks, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) (i.e., receipts evidencing ownership of foreign equity securities) and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Fund may invest in securities from a broad range of market capitalizations, including large-cap stocks typically exceeding $10 billion, mid-cap stocks generally between $2 billion and $10 billion, and small-cap stocks generally below $2 billion. The Funds investments in these market segments may expose it to varying degrees of liquidity risk, market volatility, and company-specific risk associated with each capitalization range, which may impact the Funds performance depending on prevailing market conditions.
The Fund will use options to generate income and hedge against losses. The Funds options strategies typically consist of utilizing a combination of purchased and written (sold) call and/or put options (known as a spreads) to generate income and hedge against losses. The Fund will primarily seek to implement an options strategy with two components: (i) selling covered call options on up to 100% of the U.S. Equity Investments to generate premium from such options, while (ii) simultaneously reinvesting a portion of such premium to buy put options or put spreads on the same U.S. Equity Investments to hedge or mitigate the downside risk associated with owning equity securities. Put option and put spreads purchased by the Fund will typically be near the current at-the-money strike price (i.e., strike price that is roughly equal to the current market price of the reference asset) but may have a strike price that is lower (in some cases, significantly lower) than the current price of the reference asset. At the sole discretion of the Funds investment advisor, Day Hagan Asset Management (the Advisor), when the Adviser determines that prevailing market conditions are not advantageous for implementing the Funds options strategies or a portion of the option strategies, such strategies may not be employed or may be partially employed. In these circumstances, the Fund may not utilize options contracts to establish caps or buffers in their entirety, meaning there will be no or reduced predetermined limits on potential gains or protections against downside losses typically associated with such strategies. As a result, the Funds performance during these periods will reflect the market performance of its underlying investments without the effects of caps or buffers, which may lead to increased exposure to market volatility and risk of loss. Investors should be aware that the absence of options strategies during these times may affect the Funds risk and return profile.
Options contracts generally are agreements where: (i) the purchaser of an option pays a cost (the premium) for the right to buy (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) a specified reference asset at a specified price (strike price) until a specified date (expiration date); (ii) and conversely, where the seller receives a premium and is obligated to sell (for a call option) or buy (for a put option) shares of a specified reference asset at a specified strike price until a specified expiration date. Options selected for the Fund may be rolled periodically (based on the levels of the underlying holdings) to continue generating income or to reflect the Advisors revised outlook on the underlying portfolio security. When an option is rolled, the Advisor simultaneously closes one option contract and enters another on the same reference asset. The new contract entered can have a further-dated expiration (i.e., the option would be rolled out), a higher strike price (i.e., rolled up), a lower strike price (i.e., rolled down), or a combination of both a different expiration and strike. The decision to roll options and rebalance the portfolio is at the discretion of the Advisor.
The Funds assets will include option holdings, the value of which is derived from the performance of the underlying U.S. Equity Investments. However, a component of an option contracts value is the remaining time until expiration. Accordingly, the Funds NAV will not be directly correlated on a day-to-day basis with the price or returns experienced by the U.S. Equity Investments. The Advisor anticipates that the Funds NAV will move in the same direction as the U.S. Equity Investments; however, the Funds NAV may not increase or decrease at the same rate as the value of the U.S. Equity Investments. It is possible that the degree of non-correlation between the value of the options and the value of the underlying U.S. Equity Investments will be higher than if the options had a shorter term. The Advisor generally anticipates that the Funds NAV will increase on days when the value of the U.S. Equity Investments increases and will decrease on days when the U.S. Equity Investments decreases, but that the rate of such increase or decrease will be less than that experienced by the U.S. Equity Investments. The Fund seeks to generate returns that match the U.S. Equity Investments up to the cap while limiting downside losses if the options are held until expiration and not rolled, as discussed below in the sections titled Buffer on Potential Losses and Cap on Potential Upside Returns.
Purchased Call and Put Options. In the event the reference asset appreciates above the strike price (for call options) or declines in value below the strike price (for put options) and the holder exercises its option, the holder will be entitled to receive the difference between the value of the reference asset and the strike price (which gain is offset by the premium originally paid by the holder). In the event the reference asset closes below the strike price (for call options) or above the strike price (for put options) as of the expiration date, the option may end up worthless, and the holders loss is limited to the amount of premium it paid.
Written Call and Put Options. In the event the reference asset appreciates above the strike price (for call options) or declines in value below the strike price (for put options) and the holder exercises its option, the writer (seller) of the option will have to pay the difference between the value of the reference asset and the strike price or deliver the reference asset (which loss is offset by the premium initially received). In the event the reference asset declines in value (for written call options) or appreciates in value (for written put options), the option may end up worthless and the writer (seller) of the option retains the premium.
The call and put options written by the Fund will be covered because the Fund will either have long positions (i.e., the Fund owns the securities or options on those securities) or short positions (i.e., the Fund sold borrowed securities) of the corresponding reference assets at the time of sale that will offset risk potential of the written options. The Fund may write call options on up to 100% of each equity position held in the portfolio and will use a portion of the premium received from writing such call options to purchase put options. Call options written by the Fund will typically have a strike price that is higher than the current price of the corresponding reference asset. The put options written by the Fund are considered covered when either: (i) the Fund holds a long put option with a strike price that his higher than the strike price of the Funds written put option, both of which are on the same reference asset; or (ii) the Fund has at least 100 short shares of the same reference asset for every put option sold, typically with a strike price below the reference assets current market value.
Buffer on Potential Losses
The Fund seeks to mitigate a portion of downside risk due to declines in the value of the U.S. Equity Investments it holds by providing a buffer (the Buffer), primarily achieved through the purchase of put options, or a put spread, on U.S. Equity Investments. The amount of protection provided by a Buffer will change as the values of the U.S. Equity Investments and the Funds options positions change. The Advisor may reset the Buffer at any time, at its discretion, based on market conditions and the Funds risk management objectives. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in providing the sought-after protection with a Buffer. If the U.S. Equity Investments held by the Fund increase in value after the Buffer is implemented, any appreciation of the Fund by virtue of the increases in the U.S. Equity Investments in its portfolio that occurs after implementation of the Buffer will not be protected by the Buffer. Therefore, an investor that purchases shares of the Fund after such implementation of a Buffer would have a different investment experience than an investor that purchased shares prior to the implementation of the then-current Buffer. Such investors that purchase before or after the implementation of a Buffer will not receive the entire protection that the Fund seeks to provide and will only be protected against losses of the U.S. Equity Investments held by the Fund when the Funds NAV returns to its value at the time the then-current Buffer was implemented and could experience losses until then or may not benefit from the Buffer at all. Depending on market conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder who purchases Shares of the Fund may lose their entire investment. An investment in the Fund is only appropriate for shareholders willing to bear those losses and understands that the operation of the Buffer, and therefore the protection, is not guaranteed. The Buffer is provided prior to taking into account annual Fund management fees, transaction fees, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. These fees and any expenses will have the effect of reducing the Buffer amount for Fund shareholders.
Cap on Potential Upside Returns
The Fund seeks to participate in the upside returns of the U.S. Equity Investments held in its portfolio; however, due to the hedging nature of the Buffer implementation, the Fund shareholders are subject to an upside return cap (the Cap) that represents the maximum percentage return of Fund NAV an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund based on the current holdings of the Fund, inclusive of the underlying options. Therefore, even though the Funds returns are based upon the performance of the U.S. Equity Investments held in its portfolio, if the U.S. Equity Investments held by the Fund experience returns in excess of the Cap, Fund shareholders will not participate in such excess returns. The Cap will be reduced by any shareholder transaction fees and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund. The Buffer and Cap levels are expected to adjust with each rebalance of the Buffer strategy. Generally, a Buffer providing greater downside protection will correspond with a lower Cap on potential upside returns, while a Buffer providing less downside protection will allow for a higher Cap. For example, if the Fund resets its options strategy as the underlying asset appreciates, it may sell a call option at a higher strike price and adjust the put spread upward. This shift increases the Cap level, as the higher strike price permits greater participation in upside gains. Simultaneously, resetting the put spread upward increases the level of downside protection, as the Buffer now kicks in at a higher market level, exposing the Fund to less near-term loss before protection begins. Such adjustments reflect the trade-off between potential upside and downside protection inherent in the Funds strategy.

Although the Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective of upside appreciation and buffering a portion of downside risk, there is no guarantee that it will do so. The returns that the Fund seeks to provide do not include the costs associated with purchasing Shares and certain expenses incurred by the Fund.
For illustrative purposes only. The Fund may seek to track various ETFs and the use of SPDR S&P 500 ETF is solely illustrative. The performance shown in the chart does not reflect the potential effects of the Funds fees and expenses or hedging strategies. The figures are approximate and subject to change. The chart assumes a written call strike that is 12% above the current price of the underlying. The premium received from the written call, along with dividends received from the underlying, is then used to purchase a put option spread. The put spread consists of a purchased put option with a strike at the same price as the underlying and a written put option with a strike that is 20% below the current price of the underlying. Options are assumed to be held to maturity and not rolled during the life of the contract.
Active Rebalancing
As the U.S. Equity Investments held in the Funds portfolio increase in value, they move further from the Buffer level (the level at which the Buffer potentially begins to mitigate losses) and closer to the Cap level. This changes the risk/return profile and, therefore, the optimal Buffer and Cap percentages for the Fund. In other words, being further from the Buffer increases the Funds need for downside protection, and being closer to the Cap can limit the Funds upside potential. When the ratio of upside potential to downside risk is no longer deemed attractive by the Advisor, the Advisor will seek to actively rebalance the Fund to establish new Buffer and Cap levels in an attempt to allow the Fund to participate in greater capital appreciation opportunities and/or attempt to provide better downside protection based in the current values of the U.S. Equity Investments.
This dynamic approach seeks to optimize returns and enhance risk management in varying market conditions. The Buffers and Caps resulting from each rebalance may not be realized due to the active rebalancing strategy. The Buffer and Cap percentages may not be more advantageous than previous Buffer and Cap percentages. Active rebalancing may negate expected returns and the downside Buffer. Investors that purchase shares may experience investment returns that are very different from those that the Fund seeks to provide. Further, active rebalancing may also substantially affect the Buffer and Cap percentages with each rebalance.
The Fund is classified as non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), which means a relatively high percentage of the Funds assets may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers.
