Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectuses which can be obtained by visiting the Funds' website at www.quant-shares.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

ETFs are subject to commission costs each time a "buy" or "sell" is executed. Depending on the amount of trading activity, the low costs of ETFs may be outweighed by commissions and related trading costs.
Risks:
There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their objective. An investment in the Funds is subject to risk including the possible loss of principal amount invested. The risks associated with each Fund are detailed in the prospectuses and include tracking error risk, mid-cap risk, industry concentration risk, market neutral style risk, short sale risk and specific risks related to exchange traded funds. There is a risk that during a "bull" market, when most equity securities and long-only equity ETFs are increasing in value, the Fund's short position will likely cause the Fund to underperform the overall U.S. equity market and such ETFs. Newly organized, the Fund has no trading history and there can be no assurance that active trading markets will be developed or maintained. The Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

Beta is a measure of an asset's sensitivity to an underlying index. Long is purchasing a stock with the expectation that it is going to rise in value. Short is selling a stock with the expectation of profiting by buying it back later at a lower price. Return on equity measures a company's profitability by showing how much profit a company generates with the money invested by shareholders. Debt to equity measures a company's financial leverage indicating the proportion of equity and debt the company is using to finance its assets. A market neutral portfolio aims to generate a positive spread between the return of the long portfolio and the return of the short portfolio.
