PORTFOLIO REVIEW
April 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

The Fund’s performance figures* for the period ended April 30, 2023, compared to its benchmark:

 

      Annualized
  Six Months One Year Since Inception(a)
LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF - NAV 3.06% (10.30)% 10.50%
LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF - Market Price 1.67% (6.18)% 10.45%
S&P 500 Index (b) 8.63% 2.66% 10.16%

 

* The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The NAV returns are calculated using the traded NAV on April 28, 2023. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception (10/26/2020) to the first day of secondary market trading shares of the Fund, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses are 0.75% per the March 1, 2023 prospectus. Please see the Financial Highlights for a more recent expense ratio. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 1-480-757-4277.

(b) The S&P 500 Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 largest U.S. publicly traded companies. The S&P 500 Index is a float-weighted index, meaning company market capitalizations are adjusted by the number of shares available for public trading. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark. Index returns are gross of any fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing.
