What is the goal of the Fund?

The Fund seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Developed Diversified Factor Index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Investors purchasing Shares in the secondary market may be subject to costs (including customary brokerage commissions) charged by their broker.

 

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES

(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value
of your investment)

 
Management Fees        0.24
Other Expenses1        0.40   
      

 

 

 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses        0.64   
Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements2        (0.26
      

 

 

 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements2        0.38   

 

1 “Other Expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
2 The Fund’s adviser and administrator (the Service Providers) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent total annual operating expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, dividend expenses relating to short sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation and extraordinary expenses) exceed 0.38% of the average daily net assets of the Shares. This contract cannot be terminated prior to 3/1/16, at which time the Service Providers will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you pay when purchasing or selling Shares of the Fund. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the table through 2/29/16 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR
COST WOULD BE
 
     1 Year     3 Years  
FUND SHARES ($)     39        179   

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. The Fund has not yet commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus. Therefore, there is no portfolio turnover rate for the Fund to report at this time.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The Fund seeks investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE Developed Diversified Factor Index (the Underlying Index). The Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in securities included in the Underlying Index. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowing for investment purposes. The Underlying Index is comprised of equity securities from developed global markets selected to represent a diversified set of factor characteristics, originally developed by the adviser. FTSE International Limited is the Index Provider. Holdings in the Underlying Index are selected from the constituents of the FTSE Developed Index, which is comprised of large- and mid-cap equity securities in developed markets. The rules based proprietary multi-factor selection process utilizes the following characteristics: relative valuation, price momentum, low volatility, and specific market capitalization. The equity securities in the Underlying Index will be diversified across global regions and industries. These securities will be large- and mid-cap equity securities of companies from developed countries, including common stock, preferred stock and real estate investment trusts (REITs).

The Fund, using a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to closely correspond to the performance of the Underlying Index. The adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance before fees and

expenses and that of the Underlying Index will be 95% or better. A figure of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. The Fund’s intention is to replicate the constituent securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of the constituent securities in their respective weightings in the Underlying Index. In these circumstances, the Fund may utilize a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would hold a significant number of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track the Underlying Index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire Underlying Index. The Fund’s portfolio will be rebalanced monthly in accordance with the monthly rebalancing of the Underlying Index.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in exchange-traded futures and currency forward contracts to seek performance that corresponds to the Underlying Index.

To the extent that the securities in the Underlying Index are concentrated in one or more industries or group of industries, the Fund may concentrate in such industries or groups of industries.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries included in the Underlying Index or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.

Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and

nationalization risks, sanctions or other measures by the United States or other governments, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are not traded “delivery versus payment,” the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more volatile.

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

Index Tracking Risk. The Fund’s return may not track the return of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index.

In addition, when the Fund uses a representative sampling approach, the Fund may not be as well correlated with the return of the Underlying Index as when the Fund purchases all of the securities in the Underlying Index in the proportions in which they are represented in the Underlying Index. To the extent the Fund calculates its net asset value (NAV) based on fair value prices and the value of the Underlying Index is based on securities’ closing prices on local foreign markets (i.e., the value of the Underlying Index is not based on fair value prices), the Fund’s ability to track the Underlying Index may be adversely affected.

Sampling Risk. To the extent the Fund uses a representative sampling approach, it will hold a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development respecting an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in the Fund’s net asset value than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in the Underlying Index. Conversely, a positive development relating to an issuer of securities in the Underlying Index that is not held by the Fund could cause the Fund to underperform the

Underlying Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks may be greater.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives, including futures and currency forward contracts, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

Mid-Cap Company Risk. The Fund’s risks increase as it invests more heavily in mid-cap companies. Mid-cap companies may be more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Passive Management Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund is not “actively” managed. Therefore, it would not generally sell a security because the security’s issuer was in financial trouble unless that security is removed from the Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund’s performance could be lower than funds that may actively shift their portfolio assets to take advantage of market opportunities or lessen the impact of a market decline or a decline in the value of one or more issuers. The Fund will not take defensive positions under any market conditions, including in declining markets.

Premium/Discount Risk. Disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of extreme market volatility or potential lack of an active trading market for Shares may result in Shares trading at a significant premium or discount to NAV. If a shareholder purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholders performance may be negatively impacted.

Concentration Risk. If the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s investments may be concentrated accordingly. In such event, the value of the Fund’s Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of a fund that invests in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus and therefore, has no reportable performance history. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, a bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. When such information is included, this section will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance history from year to year and showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in a large specified number of Shares called a “Creation Unit” or multiples thereof. A Creation Unit consists of 100,000 Shares. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in return for a designated portfolio of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Individual Shares of the Fund may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (Exchange), and because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares of the Fund may trade at a price greater than or less than NAV. Certain affiliates of the Fund and the adviser may purchase and resell Fund Shares pursuant to this prospectus.
