Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF

Milwaukee, WI 53202
888‑244-4601
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
September 13, 2023
Dear Shareholder,
We are sending this information to you because you are a shareholder of the Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF (the “Target ETF”), a series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (“TAP Trust”) advised by Soundwatch Capital, LLC (“Soundwatch” or the “Adviser”). After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of TAP Trust (the “Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Target ETF to reorganize and merge the Target ETF into a newly created series (the “Acquiring ETF”) of Advisor Managed Portfolios (“AMP Trust”) with the same name as the Target ETF. This transaction will be referred to as the “Reorganization.”
Once the Reorganization occurs, the Acquiring ETF will be managed by Soundwatch and will have the same management style, investment restrictions and portfolio managers responsible for day-to-day management as were in place for the Target ETF. The Board has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target ETF and its shareholders, and that the interests of the Target ETF’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
Importantly, the Reorganization will not result in any change to the Target ETF’s fees and expenses, investment objective, principal investment strategy and risks, or portfolio management team.
Following the Reorganization, the advisory agreement and fundamental policies of the Acquiring ETF will not be materially different from those of the Target ETF. Furthermore, the Board of Trustees of AMP Trust is comprised of the same independent Board members as TAP Trust. In addition, like the Target ETF, the Acquiring ETF does not have a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 and is not subject to Rule 12b-1 distribution fees. As a result, we are not seeking shareholder approval for the Reorganization and we are not requesting a proxy from you.
The enclosed Information Statement/Prospectus contains information about the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, shareholders of the Target ETF will receive shares of the Acquiring ETF with the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the Target ETF you own immediately prior to the Reorganization.
In evaluating the Reorganization proposal, the Board considered the pending litigation against the TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of the Trust and determined, among other things, that the Reorganization may enable the Target ETF to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target ETF, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for Acquiring ETF shareholders in the future, and to avoid any negative impact for the Target ETF relating to the pending litigation, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the Board of the TAP Trust. With respect to economies of scale, it is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than the TAP Trust, which would enable each series of the AMP Trust, including the Acquiring ETF, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of operating the AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than the TAP Trust. The Reorganization is structured to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
This document is provided for information only because shareholder approval is not required to effectuate the Reorganization for the Target ETF under the TAP Trust’s operative documents, and applicable Delaware state and U.S. federal law (including the Investment Company Act of 1940).
You are encouraged to carefully review the enclosed materials, which explain the Reorganization in more detail. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Soundwatch Capital, LLC at 888‑244-4601.
Sincerely,

/s/ Russell B. Simon

INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED September 13, 2023
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
This Information Statement/Prospectus (the “Information Statement/Prospectus”) is furnished to you as a shareholder of the Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF (the “Fund” or “Target ETF”), a series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the “TAP Trust”) advised by Soundwatch Capital, LLC (“Soundwatch” or the “Adviser”). After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of the TAP Trust (the “Board”), including all of the Independent Trustees of the TAP Trust, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Target ETF to reorganize and merge the Target ETF into the Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF, a newly created series (the “Acquiring ETF”) of Advisor Managed Portfolios (the “AMP Trust”) with the same name as the Target ETF. This transaction will be referred to as the “Reorganization”, and the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF may be referred to together as the “Funds” or a “Fund”.
The Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF have identical investment objectives, investment strategies, restrictions, and risks, and there will be no change in investment adviser or portfolio managers. Importantly, the Reorganization will not result in any increase in fees or expenses for the Target ETF.
The Board of the TAP Trust has approved the Reorganization and has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target ETF and its shareholders.
Shares of the Acquiring ETF will be listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”), which is the same listing exchange used for shares of the Target ETF.
The Reorganization is expected to close on or about September 29, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). The Acquiring ETF will open for trading on October 2, 2023.

This Information Statement/Prospectus sets forth concisely the information you should know about the Reorganization of the Target ETF and constitutes an offering of the shares of the Acquiring ETF issued in the Reorganization. Please read it carefully and retain it for future reference.

Table of Contents

    

OVERVIEW
This Information Statement/Prospectus relates to the Reorganization of the Target ETF, a series of the TAP Trust, into the Acquiring ETF, a series of the AMP Trust. The TAP Trust and AMP Trust are each an open-end management investment company registered with the SEC and organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. Soundwatch serves as investment adviser to the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF.
The Target ETF and Acquiring ETF are identical in all material respects. The Funds have the same investment objective, fees and expenses, investment strategies, investment policies, and investment risks. Additionally, Soundwatch provides day-to-day management of the portfolio for both the Target ETF and Acquiring ETF. The Funds have identical distribution and purchase procedures and exchange rights and redemption procedures. The Reorganization is structured to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The TAP Board has determined that, in light of the pending litigation against the TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of the Trust, the Reorganization may enable the Target ETF to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target ETF, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for Acquiring ETF shareholders in the future, and to avoid any negative impact for the Target ETF relating to the pending litigation, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the Board of the TAP Trust. With respect to economies of scale, it is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than the TAP Trust, which would enable each series of the AMP Trust, including the Acquiring ETF, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of the AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than the TAP Trust.
Shareholders of the Target ETF are not required to approve the Reorganization. Section 7.2 of Article VII of the TAP Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust permits the TAP Trust, unless otherwise required by law, to cause any series of the TAP Trust to be merged or consolidated with or into a series of any other investment company without shareholder approval. The Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are both advised by Soundwatch, and the Reorganization is considered to be a merger of affiliated companies for purposes of Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act. Rule 17a-8(3) permits the merger of affiliated companies without obtaining shareholder approval if: (i) no fundamental policy of the merging company is materially different from the fundamental policies of the surviving company; (ii) no advisory contract between the merging company is materially different from an advisory contract of the surviving company; (iii) trustees of the merging company who are not interested persons of the merging company and who were elected by its shareholders will comprise a majority of the trustees of the surviving company who are not interested persons of the surviving company; and (iv) any distribution fees authorized to be paid by the surviving company pursuant to Rule 12b-1 are no greater than the distribution fees of the merging company. As discussed in detail in the Information Statement/Prospectus, the Reorganization meets the criteria set forth in Rule 17a-8(3). Furthermore, the Board, including all Independent Trustees, has determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target ETF and its shareholders, and that the interests of the Target ETF’ shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND RESTRICTIONS
There are no differences in the investment objectives, investment strategies, investment restrictions, or investment risks between the Target ETF and Acquiring ETF. The same portfolio managers will continue to manage the Acquiring ETF.
Investment Objectives of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF
The investment objective for both the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF
The investment strategies for both the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are as follows:
Each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity securities and investments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities. These equity securities and investments may include U.S. exchange-listed common stocks, equity index futures, and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that track U.S. large-capitalization (“large-cap”) indices, such as the S&P 500® Index. For purposes of this 80% investment policy, the Adviser will consider the underlying holdings of any ETFs in which a Fund invests. Each Fund’s investments in derivatives that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities will be valued at mark-to-market for purposes of the 80% policy. On the portfolio, each Fund systematically writes (sells) equity index and/or ETF call options, covered calls, and option spreads to generate additional income. A portion of this income is used to systematically purchase a series of protective equity index and/or ETF put options or put spreads to reduce the negative impact of stock market declines on long-
1

term performance. Each Fund’s strategy is an “equity strategy,” which aims to provide better risk-adjusted returns across market cycles compared to an investment in the benchmark index.
Each Fund follows a proprietary rules-based BUY, HOLD & HEDGE™ strategy. The strategy systematically selects option strike prices, maturities, and trade dates based upon several measurable market factors. Through the use of options, each Fund intends to reduce the downside risk inherent in equity investments while generating long‑term equity returns in line with the benchmark index. Thus, each Fund seeks to provide an efficient trade-off between risk and reward, where risk is characterized by volatility or fluctuations in value over time, as well as drawdown risk (tail risk). Under certain market conditions, the selling of call options, including covered call options, or option spreads and the purchasing of protective put options or put spreads may also limit the upside returns of the Fund.
The Adviser may perform the following methods of security analysis when making purchase and sales decisions:
•Fundamental analysis –performed on historical and present data, with the goal of making financial forecasts;
•Technical analysis –performed on historical and present data, focusing on price and trade volume, with the goal of forecasting the direction of prices; and
•Cyclical analysis –performed on historical relationships between price and market trends, with the goal of forecasting the direction of prices.
Principal Investment Risks of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF
As with all funds, a shareholder of the Target ETF or Acquiring ETF is subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. An investment in the Funds is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any government agency. The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Funds are set forth below. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Funds. The principal investment risks for both the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are as follows:
Equity Index Futures Risk. Equity index futures contracts can be used to create or hedge exposure to the markets represented by a stock index. The purchaser of an equity index future buys the right to receive a payment corresponding to any increase in the value of the referenced index as of a specified future date and incurs the obligation to make a payment corresponding to any decrease in the value of the referenced index as of such date.
Equity Securities Risk: The risks that could affect the value of a Fund’s shares and the total return on your investment include the possibility that the equity securities held by the Fund will experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value.
Options Risk. Options are complex derivatives that involve risks that are not suitable for everyone. Options trading can be speculative in nature and carry substantial risk of loss. Options may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities. There are significant differences between securities and options that could result in an imperfect correlation between markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. Options may also be illiquid and a Fund may have difficulty closing out its position prior to expiration.
◦Protective Put Option Risk. A put option gives the purchaser of the option, upon payment of a premium, the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and the writer of the option, the obligation to buy the underlying security, index, currency or other instrument at a specified exercise price. When a Fund purchases a put option on a security or index, it may lose the entire premium paid if the underlying security or index does not decrease in value.
◦Protective Put Spread Risk. When a Fund purchases a protective put spread on a security or index, it may lose the entire premium paid if the underlying security or index does not decrease in value. The put spread also will not protect the entire loss of the security, but only in the amount equal to the value of the long put options less the value of the short put options.
◦Covered Call Option Risk. A covered call option, upon payment of a premium, gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and the seller the obligation to sell, the underlying instrument, which the seller owns, at a specified exercise price. By writing covered call options in return for the receipt of premiums, a Fund will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the underlying securities above the exercise prices of the written options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of such securities. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying securities over time. If trading is suspended, a Fund may be unable to write options at times that may be desirable or advantageous to the Fund to do so.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    2

◦Call Spread Writing Risk. By writing call spreads (or put spreads) in return for the receipt of premiums, a Fund will give up some of the opportunity to benefit from potential increases (or decreases) in the value of the underlying securities above (or below the exercise prices) of the written options. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying securities over time.
Large-Capitalization Companies Risk. Large-capitalization stocks can perform differently from other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may be less flexible in evolving markets or unable to implement change as quickly as small-capitalization companies.
ETF Risk. Each Fund is an ETF and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:
◦Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. Each Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent that (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform such functions, shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value (“NAV”), the bid-ask spread could widen, and shares could face trading halts and/or delisting.
◦Cash Redemption Risk. Each Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. Each Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to realize a capital gain that it might not have realized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, a Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was used. To the extent that the transaction fees charged for redemptions of creation units is insufficient to cover a Fund’s transaction costs of selling portfolio securities, the Fund’s performance could be negatively impacted.
◦Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
◦Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. As a result, investors in a Fund may pay significantly more or receive significantly less for shares than the Fund’s NAV. In addition, investors may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”).
Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate the applicable Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant and the bid-ask spread could widen.
◦Trading. Although shares are listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the applicable Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares. This could lead to a Fund’s shares trading at a price that is higher or lower than the Fund’s NAV.
Underlying ETF Investment Risk. When a Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s operating expenses, including its management fees. The risk of owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities that the ETF holds as well as the risks associated with the structure and operation of an ETF described above. Each Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. The shares of an ETF trade on an exchange and may trade below their NAV or at a discount, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Implied Volatility Risk. When a Fund sells an option, it gains the amount of the premium it receives, but also incurs a liability representing the value of the option it has sold until the option is either exercised and finishes “in the money,” meaning it has value and can be sold, or the option expires worthless, or the expiration of the option is “rolled,” or extended forward. The value of the options in which a Fund invests is based partly on the volatility used by market participants to price such options (i.e., implied volatility). Accordingly, increases in the implied volatility of such options will cause the value of
    Information Statement/Prospectus    3

such options to increase (even if the prices of the options’ underlying stocks do not change), which will result in a corresponding increase in the liabilities of a Fund under such options and thus decrease the Fund’s NAV.
Leverage Risk. Certain derivative instruments provide the economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure, as well as the potential for greater loss. If a Fund uses leverage through purchasing derivative instruments, the Fund has the risk of losing more than its original investment. The NAV of a Fund employing leverage will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements. Leverage may involve the creation of a liability that requires the applicable Fund to pay interest.
Management Risk. Each Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. Investment decisions made by the Adviser in implementing these investment strategies may not produce the returns expected by the Adviser, may cause a Fund’s shares to lose value or may cause a Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of the pricing discrepancies or prices may not move in the manner anticipated by the Adviser.
Market Risk. Overall securities market risks will affect the value of individual instruments in which a Fund invests. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the U.S. securities markets. When the value of a Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Periods of market volatility may occur in response to pandemics, acts of war, or events affecting global markets. These types of events could adversely affect a Fund’s performance. For example, since December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has spread globally, which has resulted in the temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, manufacturing facilities and factories, and other businesses across the world. In addition, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the resulting responses by the United States and other countries, and the potential for wider conflict could increase volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and adversely affect regional and global economies.
Models and Data Risk. The Adviser relies on its proprietary model (“Models and Data”) in making investment decisions for a Fund. When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose a Fund to potential loss.
Tax Risk. The writing of call options by a Fund may significantly reduce or eliminate its ability to make distributions eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income. Covered call options may also be subject to the federal tax rules applicable to straddles under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If positions held by a Fund were treated as “straddles” for federal income tax purposes, or the Fund’s risk of loss with respect to a position was otherwise diminished as set forth in Treasury regulations, dividends on stocks that are a part of such positions would not constitute qualified dividend income subject to such favorable income tax treatment. In addition, generally, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of a Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions.
Investment Restrictions of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF
The investment restrictions for the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are identical as outlined below.
Each of the TAP Trust and AMP Trust (on behalf of the respective Funds) has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies, which may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a “majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the “vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Fund represented at a meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of its outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
(1) The Fund is a “diversified company” as defined by the 1940 Act.

Non-Fundamental Investment Policies
The Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF each observes the following policy, which is not deemed fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund may not make any change to its investment policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in a portfolio of equity securities and investments that have economic characteristics similar to equity securities, without first providing its shareholders with at least 60 days’ prior notice.
FEES AND EXPENSES
As an investor, shareholders pay fees and expenses to buy and hold shares of the Target ETF or the Acquiring ETF. Neither the Target ETF nor the Acquiring ETF charge a front-end or deferred “sales charge” or Rule 12b-1 plan fees. Shareholders pay annual fund operating expenses indirectly because they are deducted from fund assets.
The fees and expenses of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are identical. The Acquiring ETF is not operational and does not currently have assets. The information below shows the current fees and expenses for the Target ETF. The Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are subject to a fee waiver agreement as described in the footnotes to the fee table below.
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

1    The Target ETF is the successor to the Soundwatch Hedged Equity Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”), a mutual fund series of the TAP Trust that was reorganized into the Target ETF on October 24, 2022. With respect to the Target ETF, the management fee of the Predecessor Fund has been restated to reflect the Target ETF’s unitary fee. The Acquiring ETF has the same unitary management fee as the Target ETF.
2    Each Fund’s “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” in the table above are the expenses the Fund is expected to incur as an ETF; therefore, “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” and “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement” are not the same as the corresponding ratios shown in the Target ETF’s financial highlights for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 because those highlights reflect the Predecessor Fund’s operating expenses for most of the fiscal year.
3    Soundwatch Capital, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its unitary management fee to reduce the unitary management fee to 0.50% . The fee waiver will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2024 for the Target ETF and through at least twelve months from the closing date of the Reorganization for the Acquiring ETF, and may be terminated only by the Board of Trustees of the applicable Trust. The fee waiver is not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Funds with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Funds for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds’ operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the fee waiver for the first year only). This Example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
1 Year3 Years5 Years10 Years
$54$192$341$777
Portfolio Turnover
Each 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. During the most recent fiscal year, the Target ETF’s portfolio turnover rate was 25% of the average value of its portfolio. The Acquiring ETF is expected to have a similar portfolio turnover rate.
PERFORMANCE HISTORY
For the Reorganization, the Acquiring ETF will be the surviving legal entity, and will adopt the accounting history of the Target ETF. As a result, the Acquiring ETF will assume the financial and performance history of the Target ETF when the Reorganization closes.
The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Target ETF. The Target ETF is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, and the Target ETF had not commenced operations prior to the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Target ETF. The Predecessor Fund was also advised by the Adviser and had the same investment objective and substantially similar strategies as the Target ETF.
The bar chart and table below show the Predecessor Fund’s performance until October 24, 2022 and the performance of the Target ETF for later periods. The bar chart shows performance for the calendar years ended December 31. The table illustrates how average annual returns for the one-year, five-year and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how the Acquiring ETF will perform in the future.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.  Actual after-tax returns depend on your situation and may differ from those shown.  Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to those who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).  In certain cases, the figure representing “Return after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
Investment Adviser
Soundwatch Capital, LLC, is the investment adviser to the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF and is located at 137 Rowayton Avenue, Suite 120, Rowayton, CT 06853. Soundwatch is a New York limited liability company that became an SEC-registered investment adviser in January 2014.
Both the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF have entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds in accordance with their investment objective and policies. The Adviser also furnishes the Funds with office space and certain administrative services and provides most of the personnel needed to fulfill its obligations under its advisory agreements. Under the advisory agreements, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Trust’s independent trustees); (iv) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
    Information Statement/Prospectus    7

Company Act, if applicable; (v) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (vi) any fees and expense related to the provision of securities lending services; and (vii) the advisory fee payable to the Adviser.
For its services, the Adviser is entitled to a unitary management fee that is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Target ETF’s and Acquiring ETF’s average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Adviser received an aggregate fee, after fee waivers, of 0.32% of average net assets of the Target ETF as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Fund into the Target ETF during that period.
Additionally, for both the Target ETF and Acquiring ETF, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of its unitary management fee to reduce the unitary management fee to 0.50%. The fee waiver will remain in effect through at least February 28, 2024 for the Target ETF and through at least twelve months from the closing date of the Reorganization for the Acquiring ETF, and may be terminated only by the Board of Trustees of the applicable Trust. The fee waiver is not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
A discussion regarding the basis of the TAP Board’s most recent approval of the Target ETF’s investment advisory agreement is available in the Target ETF’s annual report to shareholders for the reporting period ended October 31, 2022. A discussion regarding the AMP Board’s basis for approving the investment advisory agreement for the Acquiring ETF will be included in the annual report to shareholders for the fiscal period ending October 31, 2023.

BUYING AND SELLING FUND SHARES
Fund shares are listed for secondary trading on the Exchange. When you buy or sell the Fund’s shares on the secondary market, you will pay or receive the market price. You may incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction. The shares will trade on the Exchange at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of the shares. The Fund’s NAV per share is calculated as of the close of regular trading (generally 4:00 pm Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business. The NYSE and the Exchange are generally open Monday through Friday and are closed weekends and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
Purchase and redemption requests are priced based on the next NAV per share calculated after receipt of such request. The NAV is the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, minus all expenses and liabilities (assets – liabilities = NAV). NAV per share is determined by dividing NAV by the number of shares outstanding (NAV/ # of shares =
    Information Statement/Prospectus    8

NAV per share). The NAV takes into account the expenses and fees of the Fund, including management and administration fees, which are accrued daily.
In calculating the NAV, portfolio securities are valued using current market values or official closing prices, if available. Each security owned by the Fund that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
When reliable market quotations are not readily available or the Fund’s pricing service does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent the security’s fair value) or when, in the judgment of the Adviser, events have rendered the market value unreliable, a security or other asset will be valued at its fair value in good faith in accordance with the Adviser’s pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Board. Valuing securities at fair value is intended to ensure that the Fund is accurately priced and involves reliance on judgment. The Adviser will regularly evaluate whether the Fund’s fair valuation pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Fund and the quality of prices obtained through the application of such procedures. There can be no assurance that the Fund will obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.
Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares
Unlike frequent trading of a traditional open-end mutual fund’s (i.e., not exchange-traded) shares, frequent trading of shares of each Fund on the secondary market does not disrupt portfolio management, increase the Fund’s trading costs, lead to realization of capitalization gains, or otherwise harm the Fund’s shareholders because these trades do not involve the Fund directly. Certain institutional investors are authorized to purchase and redeem a Fund’s shares directly with the Fund. Because these trades are generally effected in-kind (i.e., for securities, and not for cash), they do not cause any of the harmful effects noted above that may result from frequent cash trades. Moreover, the Funds may impose transaction fees on in-kind purchases and redemptions of creation units to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting in-kind trades. These fees may increase if an investor substitutes cash in part or in whole for creation units, reflecting the fact that the Fund’s trading costs increase in those circumstances. For these reasons, the Board has determined that it is not necessary to adopt policies and procedures to detect and deter frequent trading and market-timing in shares of the Fund.
DISTRIBUTOR
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is the distributor for both the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC. For both Funds, the Distributor distributes creation units on an agency basis and does not maintain a secondary market in the shares. Neither the Target ETF nor the Acquiring ETF charges Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, sales loads or deferred sales loads.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION
Reorganization
As further explained in this Information Statement/Prospectus, the Reorganization will be effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), a form of which is provided in Appendix A. Under the Plan of Reorganization, the Target ETF will transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring ETF in exchange for the assumption of all liabilities of the Target ETF by the Acquiring ETF and shares of the Acquiring ETF having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the Target ETF on the Closing Date for the Reorganization (currently, the Closing Date is expected to be September 29, 2023. The shares of the Acquiring ETF will be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of the Target ETF in complete liquidation of the Target ETF. Holders of shares of the Target ETF will receive shares of the Acquiring ETF equal in value to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the Target ETF that the shareholder held immediately prior to the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, a shareholder of the Target ETF will have the same percentage of ownership in the Acquiring ETF as such shareholder’s percentage of ownership in the Target ETF prior to the Reorganization.
The Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the TAP Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), on behalf of the Target ETF, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees of the AMP Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring ETF, have approved the Plan of Reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization provides for:
a.the transfer of all of the assets and the liabilities of the Target ETF to the Acquiring ETF in exchange for shares of the Acquiring ETF;
b.the distribution of the Acquiring ETF shares to the Target ETF’s shareholders; and
    Information Statement/Prospectus    9

c.the termination of the Target ETF as a separate series of the TAP Trust.
If the proposed Reorganization is completed, the Acquiring ETF will acquire all of the assets and the liabilities of the Target ETF, and shareholders of the Target ETF will receive shares of the Acquiring ETF with an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the Target ETF shares that the shareholders own immediately prior to the Reorganization.
Reasons for the Proposed Reorganization
The Reorganization has been proposed because the Board of the TAP Trust has determined that the Reorganization may enable the Target ETF to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target ETF, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for Acquiring ETF shareholders in the future. It is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than the TAP Trust, which would enable each series of the AMP Trust, including the Acquiring ETF, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of the AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than the TAP Trust. Additionally, the Board of the TAP Trust believes that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target ETF and its shareholders if the Target ETF is merged with the Acquiring ETF because the Acquiring ETF has an identical investment objective and the same investment strategies and policies as the Target ETF.
Board Considerations
In considering and approving the Reorganization at meetings held on May 31 and June 1, 2023, the Board of the TAP Trust discussed the future of the TAP Trust and the Target ETF in light of the pending litigation against the TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of the Trust and the advantages of reorganizing the Target ETF into the Acquiring ETF. Among other things, the Board also reviewed, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, the overall proposal for the Reorganization, the principal terms and conditions of the Plan of Reorganization, including that the Reorganization be consummated on a tax-free basis, and certain other materials provided prior to and during the meeting and at other meetings throughout the past year.
In considering the Reorganization, the Board took into account the following matters, among others and in no order of priority:
•The Adviser will manage the Acquiring ETF as the successor to the Target ETF.
•The investment objective, principal investment strategies, principal risks, investment policies and restrictions of the Acquiring ETF will be identical to those of the Target ETF, and the Acquiring ETF will be managed by the same portfolio management team.
•The unitary management fee for the Acquiring ETF will be the same as the unitary management fee for the Target ETF.
•That a potential benefit of the Reorganization is that it may result in greater economies of scale for the Acquiring ETF than would otherwise exist in the TAP Trust. The Board recognized that the Adviser might benefit from increased economies of scale because the Adviser is responsible for paying the operating expenses of the Acquiring ETF. The Board considered that a significant reduction in such expenses could enable the Adviser to reduce or waive a portion of its management fee in the future to the benefit of shareholders. The Board noted that the AMP Trust was expected to grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than the TAP Trust, which would enable each series of the AMP Trust, including the Acquiring ETF, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of the AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than the TAP Trust.
•The desire to avoid any negative impact for the Target ETF relating to the pending litigation involving an unrelated series of the TAP Trust, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the Board of the TAP Trust.
•The qualifications and experience of the Acquiring ETF’s service providers, which are the same service providers of the Target ETF.
•The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the Acquiring ETF’s management fee to ensure that the Acquiring ETF’s annual net operating expenses do not exceed the level of the Target ETF’s current annual net operating expenses for at least one year after the Acquiring ETF commences operations.
•The costs of the Reorganization will not be borne by the Target ETF or the Acquiring ETF, regardless of whether the Reorganization is consummated. The Board considered that the Trust’s administrator will bear the costs associated with the Reorganization.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    10

•Any potential conflicts of interest related to the Reorganization, including as a result of any direct or indirect benefits to the Adviser.
•The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code.
•The interests of the shareholders of the Target ETF will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
•If shareholders of the Target ETF do not wish to become shareholders of the Acquiring ETF, they may sell their Target ETF shares before the Reorganization.
The Board of the TAP Trust, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Reorganization of the Target ETF into the Acquiring ETF was in the best interests of the Target ETF and its shareholders, and that the Target ETF’s shareholders would not have their interests diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The determinations on behalf of the Target ETF were made on the basis of each Board member’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual Board members may have placed different weight on various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions.
After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, the Board of the TAP Trust determined that the Reorganization is in the best interests of shareholders of the Target ETF, and accordingly, unanimously approved the Reorganization of the Target ETF into the Acquiring ETF and the Plan of Reorganization.
Costs and Expenses of the Reorganization
The Plan of Reorganization provides that all expenses of the Reorganization will be borne by service providers to the Target ETF and Acquiring ETF. Such expenses include, without limitation: (a) postage and mailing; (b) printing; (c) accounting fees; and (d) legal fees incurred by the TAP Trust. The costs associated with the Reorganization are expected to be approximately $50,000. The Trust’s administrator will bear the costs associated with the organization of the Acquiring ETF and the preparation of this Information Statement/Prospectus for the Reorganization, among other expenses.
Capitalization
The following table sets forth, as of April 30, 2023, (a) the unaudited capitalization of the Target ETF and (b) the unaudited pro forma combined capitalization of the Acquiring ETF assuming the proposed Reorganization has taken place. The capitalization is likely to be different on the Closing Date as a result of daily Target ETF share creation, redemption and market activity.

*Reflects the estimated pro forma capitalization of the Acquiring ETF at April 30, 2023, as though the Reorganization had occurred on April 30, 2023, and is for informational purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many shares of the Acquiring ETF will be received by the shareholders of the Target ETF on the date the Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of the Acquiring ETF that actually will be received on or after such date.
Federal Tax Consequences
The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no gain or loss is expected to be recognized by the Funds as a direct result of the Reorganization. As a non-waivable condition to the Reorganization, the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to the TAP Trust and the AMP Trust, will provide an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes as defined by Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, the tax basis and the holding period of the Acquiring ETF shares received by each shareholder of the Target ETF in the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis and holding period of the Target ETF shares given up by such shareholder in the Reorganization; provided that, with respect to the holding period for the Acquiring ETF shares received, the Target ETF’s shares given up must have been held as capital assets by the shareholder.
Except to the extent prohibited by Rule 19b-1 under the 1940 Act, prior to the valuation of the Assets on the Closing Date, the Target ETF shall have declared a dividend or dividends, with a record and ex-dividend date prior to the valuation of the Assets, which, together with all previous dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to the Target ETF Shareholders
    Information Statement/Prospectus    11

all of its investment company taxable income for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), if any, and all of its net capital gains realized in all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (after reduction for any capital loss carry forward).
At any time before the Reorganization takes place, a shareholder may sell shares of the Target ETF. Generally, such sale would be a taxable transaction to the shareholder for federal income tax purposes.
For more information on the tax consequences of a reorganization, see “Taxes” later in this Information Statement/Prospectus.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Target ETF and Acquiring ETF intend to pay out dividends, if any, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually. The Funds will declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, in cash. Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole shares only if the broker through whom you purchased shares makes such option available. The investor’s broker is responsible for distributing the income and capital gain distributions to the investor.
TAXES
The Acquiring ETF and its shareholders are not expected to face any tax consequences as a result of the Reorganization. The Adviser does not anticipate any restructuring of the securities in the portfolio as a result of the Reorganization due to the fact that investment objective and principal investment strategies of the Funds are identical. As of October 31, 2022, the Target ETF had $12,322,951 in capital loss carryforwards, however, this will not have any impact on the Target ETF or the Acquiring ETF as a result of the Reorganization.
The Target ETF and Acquiring ETF intend to distribute, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains. For federal income tax purposes, distributions of investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividend income. Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her shares. Sales of assets held by a Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by the a Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses. For this purpose, the period during which the Acquiring ETF holds an asset includes the period during which the Target ETF held that asset. Distributions of a Fund’s net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that are reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends (“Capital Gain Dividends”) will be taxable as long-term capital gains, which for non-corporate shareholders are subject to tax at reduced rates of up to 20% (lower rates apply to individuals in lower tax brackets). Distributions of short-term capital gain will generally be taxable as ordinary income. Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.
Distributions reported by a Fund as “qualified dividend income” are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met. “Qualified dividend income” generally is income derived from dividends paid by U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. In addition, dividends that a Fund received in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations may be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market.
In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax for the year in which they are paid. Certain distributions paid in January, however, may be treated as paid on December 31 of the prior year. Distributions are generally taxable even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund before your investment (and thus were included in the shares’ NAV when you purchased your shares).
You may wish to avoid investing in a Fund shortly before a dividend or other distribution, because such a distribution will generally be taxable even though it may economically represent a return of a portion of your investment.
If a Fund’s distributions exceed its earnings and profits, all or a portion of the distributions made for a taxable year may be recharacterized as a return of capital to shareholders. A return of capital distribution will generally not be taxable, but will reduce each shareholder’s cost basis in shares and result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when the shares are sold. After a shareholder’s basis in shares has been reduced to zero, distributions in excess of earnings and profits in respect of those shares will be treated as gain from the sale of the shares.
If you are neither a resident nor a citizen of the United States or if you are a foreign entity, distributions (other than Capital Gain Dividends) paid to you by a Fund will generally be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless a lower treaty rate applies. Each Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-
    Information Statement/Prospectus    12

related dividend” or a “short-term capital gain dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met.
Each Fund (or a financial intermediary, such as a broker, through which a shareholder owns shares) generally is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of the taxable distributions and sale or redemption proceeds paid to any shareholder who fails to properly furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, who has underreported dividend or interest income, or who fails to certify that he, she or it is not subject to such withholding.
Taxes When Shares are Sold on the Exchange
Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares generally is treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if shares have been held for more than one year and as a short-term capital gain or loss if shares have been held for one year or less provided that the shareholder holds the shares as capital assets. However, any capital loss on a sale of shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of Capital Gain Dividends paid with respect to such shares. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited.
Taxes on Purchases and Redemptions of Creation Units
An AP having the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally recognizes a gain or a loss. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the exchanging AP’s aggregate basis in the securities delivered, plus the amount of any cash paid for the Creation Units. An AP who exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanging AP’s basis in the Creation Units and the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of the securities received, plus any cash received for such Creation Units. The Internal Revenue Service may assert, however, that a loss that is realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units may not be currently deducted under the rules governing “wash sales” (for an AP who does not mark-to-market their holdings), or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Persons exchanging securities should consult their own tax advisor with respect to whether wash sale rule applies and when a loss might be deductible.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED; RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Set forth below is a description of the Acquiring ETF shares to be issued to the shareholders of the Target ETF in the Reorganization. Also set forth below is a discussion of the rights of shareholders of each Fund, which have identical characteristics.
The following is a summary of the material rights of shareholders of the Funds, but does not purport to be a complete description of these rights. These rights may be determined in full by reference to the Delaware statute governing statutory trusts (the “Delaware Statute”), the TAP Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, and the TAP Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well as the AMP Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws (collectively, the “Governing Instruments”). The Governing Instruments are subject to amendment in accordance with their terms. Copies of the Governing Instruments are available upon request and without charge by following the instructions listed under “Available Information.”
    Information Statement/Prospectus    13

Form of Organization. The Target ETF is a series of the TAP Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2003. The Acquiring ETF is a series of the AMP Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 16, 2023. The Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF both offer one class of shares.
Capital Stock. Each of the TAP Trust and AMP Trust (each, a “Trust”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of interests (or shares). Interests in the Target ETF and the Acquiring ETF are represented by shares of beneficial interest each with no par value. As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, shares of approximately 13 other series of the TAP Trust are offered in separate prospectuses and statements of additional information, and there are no existing series of the AMP Trust. Each Trust may start additional series and offer shares of new funds under the Trust at any time.
Voting Rights. Each share of a Fund represents an interest in the respective Fund and corresponding Trust that is equal to and proportionate with each other share of the respective Fund and corresponding Trust. Fund shareholders are entitled to one vote per share held on matters on which they are entitled to vote. Each Trust is not required to (nor does it) hold annual shareholder meetings. However, special meetings may be called for purposes such as electing or removing trustees. On any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of either Fund, all shares are voted together without regard to class or series except when separate voting is required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Shareholder Liability. The Delaware Statute does not include an express provision relating to the limitation of liability of the beneficial owners of a Delaware statutory trust. The Governing Instruments provide that no shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with property of a Fund or the acts, obligations or affairs of a Trust. The Governing Instruments further provide that, if any shareholder is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability of a Fund, he or she shall not be held to any personal liability. Each Trust shall indemnify and hold each shareholder harmless from and against all claims and liabilities to which such shareholder may become subject by reason of being or having been a shareholder, and shall reimburse the shareholder for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability.
Preemptive Rights. Shareholders of each Trust are not entitled to any preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights.
FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
Each Trust is managed by a Board comprised of the same trustees and officers. The trustees and officers sitting on the Board of the AMP Trust are expected to be the same after the Reorganization.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for the Acquiring ETF and the Target ETF to enter into a transaction pursuant to which: (i) the Acquiring ETF will acquire all of the Assets (as defined in Section 1.1(b)) solely in exchange for shares of the Acquiring ETF (“Acquiring ETF Shares”) of equal value to the net assets of the Target ETF (determined as of the Valuation Time (as defined in Section 2.1(e)) and the assumption of all of the Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.1(c)) of the Target ETF, and (ii) the Target ETF will immediately distribute such Acquiring ETF Shares to shareholders of the Target ETF, in complete liquidation of the Target ETF, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth in this Agreement (the “Reorganization”);
WHEREAS, the Acquiring ETF is a “shell” series of AMP Trust created for the purpose of acquiring the Assets and assuming the Liabilities of the Target ETF;
WHEREAS, each of TAP Trust and AMP Trust is an open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for (i) this Agreement to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization with respect to the Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Section 1.368-2(g) of the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), and (ii) that for United States federal income tax purposes the Reorganization contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATION
1.1.    The Trusts agree to take the following steps with respect to the Reorganization:
(a)The Target ETF shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined in Section 1.1(b), to the Acquiring ETF, and the Acquiring ETF in exchange therefor shall assume all of the Liabilities, as defined
    Information Statement/Prospectus    1

in Section 1.1(c), and deliver to the Target ETF the number of Acquiring ETF Shares determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.
(b)The assets of the Target ETF to be transferred to the Acquiring ETF shall consist of all assets, property, and goodwill including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries) and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by the Target ETF and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Target ETF on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1 below) (collectively, “Assets”).
(c)The Target ETF will endeavor to discharge all of its liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date, other than those liabilities and obligations which would otherwise be discharged at a later date in the ordinary course of business. The Acquiring ETF shall assume all of the liabilities of the Target ETF, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date (collectively, “Liabilities”).
(d)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 below), the Target ETF will distribute to its shareholders of record (“Target ETF Shareholders”) the Acquiring ETF Shares received by the Target ETF pursuant to Section 1.1(a) on a pro rata basis, and the Target ETF will as promptly as practicable thereafter completely liquidate and dissolve. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to the Target ETF’s shares, by the transfer of the Acquiring ETF Shares then credited to the account of the Target ETF on the books of the Acquiring ETF to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring ETF in the names of the Target ETF Shareholders. At the Closing, any outstanding certificates representing shares of the Target ETF will be cancelled.
(e)Ownership of Acquiring ETF Shares will be shown on the Acquiring ETF’s books, as such are maintained by its transfer agent.
2.    VALUATION
2.1.    With respect to the Reorganization:
(a)The net value of the Target ETF’s Assets to be acquired by the Acquiring ETF hereunder shall be computed as of the Valuation Time (defined below) by calculating the value of the Assets, which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, and subtracting therefrom the amount of the Liabilities using the valuation procedures established by TAP Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Target ETF Valuation Procedures”).
(b)Acquiring ETF Shares issued by the Acquiring ETF in exchange for the Target ETF’s Assets shall be equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of the Target ETF outstanding as of the Valuation Time.
(c)The net asset value per share of the Acquiring ETF Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be determined to the nearest full cent as of the Valuation Time, by dividing the net value of the Target ETF’s Assets (described in Section 2.1(a)) by the number of Acquiring ETF Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization (described in Section 2.1(b)).
    Information Statement/Prospectus    2

(d)All computations of value shall be made by the Target ETF’s administrator using the Target ETF Valuation Procedures.
(e)“Valuation Time” shall mean immediately after the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Valuation Date.
(f)“Valuation Date” shall mean the business day next preceding the Closing Date.
    3.    CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
3.1.    The Reorganization shall close on September 29, 2023 or such other date as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”). All acts taking place at the closing of the Reorganization (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the NYSE on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Time”).
3.2.    With respect to the Reorganization:
(a)The Target ETF’s portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered by the Target ETF as of the Closing Date to the Acquiring ETF’s custodian (the “Acquiring Custodian”) for the account of the Acquiring ETF duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. TAP Trust shall direct the Target ETF’s custodian (the “Target Custodian”) to deliver to the Acquiring Custodian as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with customary practices of the Target Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under 1940 Act) in which the Assets are deposited, the Target ETF’s portfolio securities and instruments so held. The cash to be transferred by the Target ETF shall be delivered to the Acquiring Custodian by wire transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.
(b)The Target ETF shall be responsible for paying all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including, but not limited to, all capital gains taxes and all applicable Federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if any.
(c)At such time prior to the Closing Date, the Target ETF shall provide (i) instructions and related information to the Acquiring ETF or its transfer agent with respect to the Target ETF Shareholders, including names, addresses, dividend reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of the Target ETF Shareholders as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as necessary) and (ii) the information and documentation maintained by the Target ETF or its agents relating to the identification and verification of the Target ETF Shareholders under the USA PATRIOT ACT and other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations.
(c)In the event that on the Valuation Date or the Closing Date (i) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target ETF (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of TAP Trust or the authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Target ETF is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the second business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

This Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

This indemnification obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
10.2.    AMP Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring ETF, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless TAP Trust and each of its officers and trustees and the Target ETF from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including, without limitation, the payment of reasonable legal fees and reasonable costs of investigation) to which TAP Trust or any of its trustees or officers or the Target ETF may become subject, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions with respect thereto) arises out of or is based on any breach by AMP Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring ETF, of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
On October 24, 2022, the Target ETF acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund in exchange for shares of beneficial interest of the Target ETF. As a result, the Target ETF adopted the financial and performance history of the Predecessor Fund. The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand the Predecessor Fund’s financial performance for the past five fiscal years shown. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in the Target ETF (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). The annual information has been audited by BBD, LLP, the Predecessor Fund’s and the Target ETF’s prior independent registered public accounting firm until its acquisition by Cohen & Company, Ltd. in 2023, and BBD, LLP’s report, along with the Predecessor Fund’s financial statements, are included in the Predecessor Fund’s annual report, which is available upon request.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Dated September 13, 2023
REORGANIZATION OF
Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF
(A series of Trust for Advised Portfolios)
INTO THE
Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF
(A series of Advisor Managed Portfolios)

This Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) is being furnished to shareholders of the Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF (the “Target ETF”), a series of the Trust for Advised Portfolios (the “TAP Trust”), in connection with the reorganization of the Target ETF into the Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF (the “Acquiring ETF”), a newly-created series of Advisor Managed Portfolios (the “AMP Trust”), as described in the Information Statement/Prospectus (the “Reorganization”).
This SAI consists of this Cover Page and the following documents, each of which was filed electronically with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (http://sec.gov) and is incorporated by reference herein (is legally considered to be part of this SAI):
•The Target ETF’s audited financial statements and related report of the independent registered public accounting firm included in the Target ETF’s Annual Report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 (the “Target ETF Annual Report”) (File No. 333-108394) (File No. 811-21422) (Accession No. 0000894189-23-000135);
•The Target ETF’s unaudited financial statements included in the Target ETF’s Semi-annual Report to Shareholders for the period ended April 30, 2023 (the “Target ETF Semi-annual Report”) (File No. 333-108394) (File No. 811-21422) (Accession No. 0000894189-23-004696); and
•the SAI related to the Acquiring ETF, dated July 19, 2023 and is on file with the SEC (http://www.sec.gov) (File No. 333-270997) (File No. 811-23859) (Accession No. 0000894189-23-004837).
Because the Acquiring ETF was newly-created for the purposes of this Reorganization, the Acquiring ETF has not published annual or semi-annual shareholder reports. The Acquiring ETF is a newly-created series of the AMP Trust with no assets or liabilities that will commence operations upon consummation of the Reorganization and continue the operations of the Target ETF. The Target ETF shall be the accounting and performance survivor in the Reorganization, and the Acquiring ETF, as the corporate survivor in the Reorganization, shall adopt the accounting and performance history of the Target ETF. The Target ETF Annual Report has previously been transmitted to Target ETF shareholders.
This SAI is not a prospectus, and should be read in conjunction with the Information Statement/Prospectus, dated September 13, 2023, relating to the Reorganization. The Information Statement/Prospectus and any of the materials incorporated by reference into this SAI are available upon request, without charge, by writing to Soundwatch Hedged Equity ETF, c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, P.O.

Tables showing the fees and expenses of the Target ETF, which are identical to those of the Acquiring ETF on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganization, are included under “Fees and Expenses” in the Information Statement/Prospectus.
Under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target ETF is proposed to be reorganized into the Acquiring ETF.
The Reorganization will not result in a material change to the Target ETF’s investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring ETF being identical to those of the Target ETF. Each security held by the Target ETF is eligible to be held by the Acquiring ETF and the Acquiring ETF will have the same investment objective and strategies as the Target ETF. As a result, a schedule of investments of the Target ETF modified to show the effects of the change is not required and is not included.
There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Target ETF as compared to those of the Acquiring ETF.

PART C
Other Information
Item 15. Indemnification
Reference is made to Article VI of the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust, Article VIII of Registrant’s By-Laws and Paragraph 6 of the Distribution Agreement.
Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: “Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.”
With respect to the Registrant, the general effect of these provisions is to indemnify any person (Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent, among others) who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their official or duly authorized capacity on behalf of the Trust. With respect to the distributor, the general effect of the relevant provisions is to indemnify those entities for claims arising out of any untrue statement or material fact contained in the Funds' Registration Statement, reports to shareholders or advertising and sales literature.
