The Fund, advised by Horizon Investments, LLC (“Horizon”), is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its objective primarily by: (i) investing in dividend-paying equity securities of large-capitalization companies (“Dividend Strategy”); and (ii) tactically utilizing options to generate income to the Fund (“Options Strategy”).

Dividend Strategy: As a part of the Dividend Strategy, the Dividend Income Fund invests in dividend-paying equity securities of large capitalization companies (companies having a market capitalization in excess of $10 billion at the time of purchase).

Under normal circumstances, the Dividend Income Fund will invest not less than 80% of the value of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying equity securities. For purposes of this policy, dividend-paying equity securities means common and preferred stock, convertible debt securities, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) of issuers that (i) have paid a dividend in the prior 12-calendar months or (ii) are reasonably likely, in Horizon’s view, to pay a dividend within the 12-calendar months following the Fund’s acquisition of the security, derivative instruments that provide exposure to or are otherwise related to the foregoing as well as other investment companies that invest primarily in these issuers.

Horizon selects and weights securities using a flexible approach that combines active management with quantitative models. The Dividend Income Fund’s portfolio is allocated primarily among dividend-paying securities that Horizon believes offer attractive potential returns for a given amount of risk. In selecting securities, Horizon seeks diversification across dividend-paying securities that exhibit one or more of the following fundamental characteristics:

In constructing the portfolio, Horizon may consider industry and position constraints to ensure sufficient diversification, as determined by Horizon. The Dividend Income Fund may engage in frequent trading to achieve its objective and, depending on Horizon’s outlook and market conditions, may focus its investments in particular sectors or areas of the economy.

Options Strategy: The Dividend Income Fund’s Options Strategy seeks to enhance income and manage portfolio volatility by primarily selling call options on broad-based securities indices, such as the S&P 500. When the Fund sells a call option, it receives a premium from the purchaser, granting the purchaser the right to participate in gains of the underlying index above a predetermined strike price until the option’s expiration. If the option is exercised, the Fund must pay the difference between the index price and the strike price. Options purchased by the Fund will generally be exchange-traded, including Flexible Exchange Options (“FLEX Options”). FLEX Options are customizable exchange-traded option contracts guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the “OCC”) and allow customization of terms such as exercise price, exercise style, and expiration date.

The strategy is designed to outperform during periods when the U.S. equity market is flat, falling, or slightly rising, as the premiums received may exceed the appreciation of the index. Conversely, the strategy may underperform during periods of significant market gains when the underlying indices appreciate beyond the strike price and premiums received. The Fund’s portfolio, combined with the option overlay, is expected to have a modest defensive tilt relative to the S&P 500, aiming to outperform in flat-to-down markets but expected to underperform in strongly rising markets.

In addition to selling call options on indices, the Fund may buy or write put and call options on individual securities (including ETFs) or indices for investment purposes, hedging, or generating additional income. These strategies may include covered call writing, cash-secured puts, or other collateralized options strategies. The Fund may also write options on securities it does not hold in its portfolio (i.e., “naked” options), which carry the potential for unlimited loss.

The Fund may also engage in options combinations, such as spreads, straddles, and collars. In a spread, the Fund buys and writes options on the same underlying instrument with different strike prices, expiration dates, or both, seeking to profit from differences in premiums or market prices. In a straddle, the Fund simultaneously buys or writes a put and a call option on the same instrument with the same expiration date and strike price. A collar combines a purchased put option with a written call option on the same security, limiting downside risk while capping upside potential. Premiums received from writing options offset, in part, the cost of purchasing options; however, downside protection may be limited compared to owning a single option outright. There is no limit on the number or size of options transactions in which the Fund may engage.
