Investment Objective
The investment objective of TrueShares Quarterly Bull Hedge ETF (the "Fund") is total return with substantial protection of principal.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). 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.
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses | |
| (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.79% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | None |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.79% |
Expense 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 assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem 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 Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| $81 | $252 | $439 | $977 |
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 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. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund is an actively managed ETF that aims to provide the benefits of partial equity exposure while mitigating the risk posed by a decline in U.S. equity markets. The adviser's strategy is designed to achieve the Fund's goals, typically, over rolling three-month periods. This strategy potentially results in growth with lower volatility and mitigated downside equity market risk (sometimes referred to as "tail risk"). The Fund seeks to achieve its goals by combining: (1) an investment of substantially all its assets in a portfolio of short-term income-generating debt securities with (2) a modest investment in call options on securities or indexes that are representative of U.S. large capitalization companies. Over the long-term, the adviser expects income from the debt securities and capital gains from call options to combine to fulfill the "total return" aspect of the Fund's investment objective.
1
Income Component
The Fund seeks income through a strategy focused on high-quality short-term fixed income debt securities. The Fund anticipates a typical maturity of three months for its income portfolio but may invest in securities with a duration of one-year or less. The Fund invests without restriction as to issuer type but anticipates investing primarily in securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises; fixed-income ETFs; and corporations.
To generate higher income, the Fund may also employ an option box spread strategy. While gains from options are capital gains, this options strategy is commonly referred to as an income producer and, therefore, is included in the Fund's income component description. A box spread is a four-part, same expiration date, option portfolio with a maturity payout that does not vary and is considered a form of synthetic money market instrument. For example, the four parts of a box spread could be composed of (i) a long $5 in-the-money call option position paired with (ii) a written $5 out-of-the-money call option position; and (iii) a long $5 in-the-money put option position paired with (iv) a written $5 out-of-the-money put option position. At expiration of the options, no matter what the price of the underlying reference asset is, the payout to the Fund will be $10. If the Fund can construct this portfolio for less than $10 it will be profitable at expiration.
The chart below illustrates the $10 payout that results from the example above. As the call leg increases in value, the put leg decreases in value such that, in total, the payoff is always $10.
When the call options and income-generating investments carry matching maturities, an amount equal to the yield from the income strategy, net of the Fund's management fee, is deployed to trade call options. If the income-generating investments carry a duration longer than the call positions, the amount invested in call options will be an amount equal to annualized income net of management fee and divided by the number of three-month segments remaining until maturity and capped at that amount for each rolling three-month period. At times, the presence of an extreme low-rate environment could make generating income more challenging, which may result in the Fund utilizing a maximum of one percent (net of the Fund's management fee) of portfolio principal per three-month rolling period to implement the call options strategy.
Call Options Component
The Fund invests a modest portion of its portfolio in standardized exchange-listed options or in exchange-traded FLexible EXchange Options® ("FLEX Options"), which are customized exchange-traded option contracts available through the Chicago Board Option Exchange ("Cboe") that are guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"). The adviser selects options on securities, indexes, or ETFs that it believes are representative of U.S. large capitalization companies. The Fund defines large- capitalization companies as those with market capitalizations above $10 billion at the time of measurement, and defines U.S. companies as those organized in the U.S.; having a class of securities whose principal securities market is in the U.S.; or derives 50% or more of its total revenues or earnings from goods produced, sales made, or services provided in the U.S., or maintains 50% or more of its employees, assets, investments, operations, or other business activity in the U.S.
2
A call option gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy a reference asset at a specified price (strike price) within or at the end of a specific time period. In the event the reference asset declines in value, the value of a call option generally will decrease, whereas the value of a call option will generally increase if the reference asset appreciates in value. Under normal circumstances, the Fund anticipates trading options on rolling three-month periods (i.e., quarterly); however, the Fund may trade options with expiration dates that are modestly longer or shorter than three months for a number of reasons such as if market volatility renders them more cost- effective.
At the beginning of each three-month period, the Fund purchases out of the money (above current market price) or at-the-money call options. The adviser evaluates the relative prices of at-the-money and out-of-the money options and selects those with the highest expected return in light of then-recent U.S. large capitalization equity market volatility. The partial amount of equity upside the Fund captures is dictated by the adviser's strategy of targeting investments in call options to an amount approximately equal to the amount of income generated by the Fund's portfolio. Using this strategy, based on recent market conditions, the adviser anticipates that the Fund will capture 20% to 40% of U.S. large capitalization equity market gains on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
Substantial Protection of Principal
The income component of the Fund's portfolio is expected to represent at least 98% of its assets on a quarter-to-quarter basis, which the adviser believes will fulfil the "substantial protection of principal" aspect of the Fund's investment objective. For example, even if a 2% call options component of the Fund's portfolio expired worthless, the Fund would still have at least 98% of its value preserved by the high-quality short-term fixed income debt securities portfolio. Actual value preserved is expected to be somewhat higher than 98% because interest earned is expected to be higher than Fund expenses. The adviser believes that protection of at least 98% of principal on a quarter-to-quarter basis, even in adverse low-rate environments, would be considered substantial protection by most investors.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Information About the Fund."
| ● | Options Risk. Buying and selling (writing) options are speculative activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. As the buyer of a call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. |
| ● | FLEX Options Risk. The Fund may invest in FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may become illiquid, and in such cases, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. |
| ● | Derivatives Risk. Options are a derivative investment. The Fund's use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) the risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset or index. Derivative prices may be highly volatile at times and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. |
| ● | Active Management Risk. The adviser's judgments about an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund's performance. The adviser's tail risk strategy may not fully protect the Fund from declines in the market and will not allow the Fund to fully participate in market upside. When the adviser selects out-of-the money call options, the Fund will not participate in equity market gains until they exceed the strike price of the call option. Lower interest rates or higher call option prices will tend to increase the cost of mitigating the risk posed by a decline in U.S. large capitalization equity markets. |
| ● | Equity Market Risk. The Fund invests in options that track the performance of U.S. large capitalization companies, which are made up of common stocks. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors including, expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises. |
| ● | Early Close/Trading Halt Risk. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the Fund from buying or selling certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur substantial trading losses. |
3
| ● | ETF Structure Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks: |
| ○ | Authorized Participants ("APs"), Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (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 their functions. |
| ○ | 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. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the 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. |
| ○ | Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. |
| ● | Fixed Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the Fund's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments. |
| ● | Limited History Risk. The Fund has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. Investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategies, may be unable to implement certain of its investment strategies or may fail to attract sufficient assets, any of which could result in the Fund being liquidated and terminated at any time without shareholder approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Such a liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders and will cause shareholders to incur expenses of liquidation. |
| ● | Options Premium Tax Risk. The Fund's investment strategy may limit its ability to distribute dividends eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, which for non-corporate shareholders are subject to federal income tax at rates of up to 20%. The Fund's investment strategy may also limit its ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. For these reasons, a significant portion of distributions received by Fund shareholders may be subject to tax at effective tax rates that are higher than the rates that would apply if the Fund were to engage in a different investment strategy. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of Shares in the Fund. |
4
| ● | Turnover Rate Risk. The Fund may have portfolio turnover rates significantly in excess of 100%. Increased portfolio turnover causes the Fund to incur higher brokerage costs, which may adversely affect the Fund's performance and may produce increased taxable distributions. |
| ● | U.S. Government Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. |

Management
| Adviser: | TrueMark Investments, LLC |
| Portfolio Manager: | Jeffrey Feldman, Portfolio Manager of TrueMark Investments, LLC and Quantitative Risk Manager of RiverNorth Capital Management, LLC, has served the Fund as portfolio manager since it commenced operations in June 2024. |
Purchase and Sale of Shares
Shares are listed on the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
5
The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/ or a designated amount of U.S. cash.
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"). Recent information about the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available on the Fund's website at www.True-Shares.com.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the adviser or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.
