Fund Description
span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"Under normal market conditions, the Fund will pursue its investment objectives by investing primarily in U.S. exchange-traded equity securities contained in the Nasdaq US Small-Mid Cap Rising Dividend Achievers/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"TM/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index (the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-style:italic;"“Index”/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;") and by utilizing /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"an “option strategy” consisting of writing (selling) U.S. exchange-traded call options on the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index, or /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"exchange-traded funds that track the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index (the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-style:italic;""Underlying ETFs"/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"). Under normal market conditions, the Fund /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying securities and/or investments that provide exposure to dividend-paying securities of small- and/or mid-capitalization companies. The Fund defines small- and/or mid-capitalization companies as those that are Index constituents at the time of investment. As of January /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"30, 2026, the market capitalization range of companies within the portfolio was $1.32 billion to $51.05 billion. Vest Financial, LLC is the Fund’s investment sub-advisor (/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-style:italic;"“Vest”/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" or the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-style:italic;"“Sub-Advisor”/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"). /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"In furtherance of its objectives, the Fund seeks to make distributions from stock dividends and option premiums at an annual rate that is approximately 8.0% (before fees and expenses) over the current annual dividend yield of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index. /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"The Fund also seeks a secondary objective of generating capital appreciation. The Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index annual dividend yield /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"for /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"2025 was 1.29%. However, that is not indicative of what the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index annual dividend yield may be in the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"future. It is expected that the Fund will distribute dividends and income from premiums to shareholders on a monthly basis. /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"While the Fund seeks to make distributions that are above the current annual dividend yield of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index, /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"there is no guarantee that the Fund's distribution target will be achieved. The Advisor will periodically assess whether the Fund’s distribution target remains reasonable as market conditions change. The Fund does not seek to achieve any specific level of total return performance compared with the total return performance of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index or /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"the Index. Capital appreciation on the securities held by the Fund may be less than the capital appreciation of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index (or an Underlying ETF) and the Index, and the total return performance of the Fund may be less than the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"total return performance of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index (or an Underlying ETF) and the Index. In the event the value of the /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index (or an Underlying ETF, as applicable) exceeds the strike price of the call options, the capital /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;"appreciation on such securities is expected to be less than the capital appreciation of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-weight:bold;" Index (or the Underlying ETF, as applicable). /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"The equity securities held by the Fund will be selected by the portfolio managers from the common stocks and depositary receipts in the Index. The Index is designed to measure the performance of a selection of securities that have increased their dividend value over the previous three year and five year annual periods. The Index includes /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"securities selected on criteria /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"including, but not limited to, five year dollar dividend increase, current dividend yield and payout ratio. The constituents and individual security weighting of the equity portfolio will be actively managed by the portfolio managers in order to seek to /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"achieve the Fund’s investment objectives and strategy. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"The Fund will seek additional cash flow in the form of premiums on the options. A premium is the income received by an investor who sells an option contract to another party. The call options sold by the Fund on the Russell 2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index are anticipated /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"to be cash settled European style options that can only be exercised at the expiration date. These call options will give the purchaser the right to receive from the seller (the Fund) a cash payment at the option expiration date equal to any positive difference between the value of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index at the contract expiration and the strike price. In the event the Russell /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index appreciates above the strike price as of the expiration date of the written option and the buyer exercises the /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"option, the Fund as the writer (seller) of the call option will have to pay the difference between the value of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"® /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"Index and the strike price (which loss is partially offset by the premium initially received). In such a scenario the Fund will need to sell some of the equity securities it holds to make this payment. In the event the Russel 2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" declines in value, the call /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"option may end up worthless and the Fund as the writer (seller) of the call option retains the premium. The call options sold by the Fund on an Underlying ETF are anticipated to be physically settled American style options which are exercisable any time prior to the expiration date. In the event the purchaser exercises these call options, the Fund is obligated to deliver shares of the Underlying ETF at the strike price. In such a scenario the Fund will need to sell some of the securities it holds to fund the purchase of the shares of the Underlying ETF it would deliver. In the event the Underlying ETF declines in value, the call /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"option may end up worthless and the Fund as the writer (seller) of the call option retains the premium. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"Each week, the Fund compares the dividend income of the equity securities held by the Fund against the Fund’s target distribution and looks to bridge that difference with the premiums that come from selling call options. By combining premiums collected from the sale of calls with the dividend income of the equity securities, the Fund seeks to increase total income for investors while still participating in some of the growth potential from the price appreciation of the stocks held by the Fund. The call options written by the Fund will have expirations of less than 30 days, and will be typically written at-the-money. An at-the-money call option has a strike price that is approximately equal to the price of the Russell 2000/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:6.5pt;position:relative;top:-2.75pt;"®/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Index or Underlying ETF at the time the call option is sold. The Fund's strategy may involve frequently buying and selling portfolio securities. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"The Fund will seek to reduce or eliminate the portion of its distributions that are characterized as return of capital for tax purposes. Return of capital represents a return of a portion of a Fund shareholder’s invested capital and is not taxable in the year it is received unless the distribution exceeds a shareholder’s basis in the Fund. In order to reduce or eliminate the portion of the distribution characterized as return of capital, the Fund may engage in transactions designed to generate earnings and profits by undertaking taxable sales of assets. The desired result of such transactions would be to change the tax character of certain distributions from the Fund from return of capital to taxable dividends, thus accelerating the tax liability for current /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"shareholders. Additionally, such transactions may cause the Fund to incur additional brokerage costs. /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"As of January 30, 2026, the Fund expects to have significant investments in financial companies and industrials companies, although this may change from time to time./spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" Over time, the Fund may have significant investments in a jurisdiction, investment /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"sector or industry or group of industries/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;" that it may not have had as of January 30, 2026. To the extent the Fund invests a /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;margin-left:0%;"significant portion of its assets in a given jurisdiction/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;",/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;line-height:10.80pt;" /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"investment sector or industry or group of industries, the Fund may be exposed to the risks associated with that jurisdiction,/spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;line-height:10.80pt;" /spanspan style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"investment sector or industry or group of industries. /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;"The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the /spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;font-style:italic;"“1940 Act”/spanspan style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.00pt;")./span
