Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small- to mid-sized companies that Silvant Capital Management LLC (“Silvant”) believes have higher than average growth potential. The Fund currently defines small and mid-sized companies as those having market capitalizations comparable to those companies included in the Russell 2500® Index (between $119 million and $30 billion as of August 31, 2025).

Silvant primarily invests the Fund’s assets in equity securities of U.S. companies. The Fund may also invest in non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets, including through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). In addition to common stocks and other equity securities (such as preferred stocks, convertible securities and warrants), the Fund may invest in securities issued in initial public offerings (IPOs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

The portfolio managers attempt to include securities in the Fund’s portfolio that they believe exhibit the greatest combination of earnings growth potential, quality (as reflected in consistent business fundamentals) and attractive valuation. The portfolio managers ordinarily look for several of the following characteristics when analyzing specific companies for possible investments: higher than average growth and strong potential for capital appreciation; substantial capacity for growth in revenue, cash flow or earnings through either an expanding market or expanding market share; a strong balance sheet; superior management; strong commitment to research and product development; and differentiated or superior products and services or a steady stream of new products and services.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF and, thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index of securities. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy that seeks to meet its investment objective.

The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in any one issuer than a diversified fund can. In addition, the Fund may focus its investments (i.e., invest more than 15% of its total assets) in one or more particular sectors. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund focuses its investments in the Healthcare, Industrials and Information Technology sectors.
