Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF
FUND SUMMARY
Investment Objective
The Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF (the “Fund” or the “Minority ETF”) seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the performance of the Morningstar® Minority Empowerment Index (the “Underlying Index”).
Fees and Expenses
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
 
Management Fee(1)(2)(3)

(1) 
The Fund pays for the transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services it requires under a unitary fee structure (the “unitary advisory fee”). Therefore, the Fund’s “Management Fee” includes fees payable to Impact Shares, Corp. (“Impact Shares” or the “Adviser”) for advisory services and for the provision by third parties engaged by Impact Shares of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. Under the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser bears all expenses of the Fund (including those of the services listed above) with the exception of those described under the section titled “Management of the Fund.”
(2) 
Impact Shares is paid a Management Fee at an annual rate of 0.49% on the “Average Daily Managed Assets” of the Fund. “Average Daily Managed Assets” is the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage).
(3) 
Expense information has been restated to reflect current contractual rates.
Expense Example
This Example helps you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to 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 sell or redeem all 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. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Investors in the Fund may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Fund shares, which are not included in the examples below. The Example reflects expense limitation agreements and/or waivers, if any, in effect for the one‑year period and the first year of the three-year period. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

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
  
1

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. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 35%. 
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its total assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes (the “80% basket”) in component securities of the Underlying Index (“Component Securities”).
The Fund may invest the remaining 20% of its total assets (the “20% basket”) in securities and instruments not included in the Underlying Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Underlying Index to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). The Fund may invest in securities of any type and of companies of any market capitalization (including small- and mid‑capitalization companies), market sector or industry, but expects to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies. The Fund may use the 20% basket to invest in securities issued by other investment companies, including other exchange-traded funds. The Fund also may invest in warrants and may also use derivatives, primarily swaps (including equity, variance and volatility swaps), options and futures contracts on securities, interest rates and/or currencies, within the 20% basket to track the Underlying Index and as substitutes for direct investments the Fund can make. The Fund may also use derivatives such as swaps, options (including options on futures), futures, and foreign currency transactions (e.g., foreign currency swaps, futures and forwards) to hedge various investments for risk management and speculative purposes. In addition, the Fund’s 20% basket may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Fund does not currently engage in derivative transactions and has adopted a policy prohibiting derivatives transactions. If the Board deems it advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund, the Fund may change this policy in the future and allow derivatives transactions undertaken in compliance with the new SEC rules.
Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks. The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance of the Underlying Index.
The Adviser may use a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Underlying Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, leverage and price to earnings ratios) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index. “Tracking error” is the difference between the performance (return) of the Fund’s portfolio and that of the Underlying Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the Fund’s tracking error will not exceed 5%. Funds that employ a representative sampling strategy may incur tracking error risk to a greater extent than funds that seek to replicate an index.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Underlying Index is so concentrated.
The Fund is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of large and mid‑ capitalization companies that are “empowering to minorities,” and to exhibit risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Morningstar US Large‑Mid Cap® Index, as described below.
  
2

The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies from the Morningstar US Large‑Mid Cap® Index (the “Parent Index”), a free float market‑cap weighted index that constitutes 90% of the total market capitalization of the U.S. market) that have strong minority empowerment practices. Morningstar constructs the Underlying Index using company level indicators, scores, and indicator relevance weighting from Sustainalytics, the Fund’s ESG research provider, that include certain social criteria identified and compiled by the NAACP (“NAACP” or the “Partner Nonprofit”) to measure the strength of minority empowerment practices and products or services for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Minority Empowerment Composite Score”). Based on that scoring, after excluding those companies that Sustainalytics determines (i) derive more than 5% of their revenues from predatory lending activities, (ii) derive more than 5% of their revenues from the production of tobacco products, (iii) are involved in the production of riot control weapons, (iv) operate correctional facilities or provide security services, (v) are primarily involved in the production of oil, gas or coal, (vi) are not compliant with the principles of the UN Global Compact1, or (vii) have a detrimental score for applicable controversies, the 200 best scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components. The Underlying Index is constructed by Morningstar using an optimized weighting methodology. Under this methodology, Morningstar uses a quantitative process that is designed to determine optimal weights for securities to maximize exposure of companies with higher rankings as to minority empowerment practices, while maintaining an Underlying Index that exhibits risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Parent Index. The Index Provider determines the weighting of each security in the Underlying Index using the following variables: Minority Empowerment Composite Score, market capitalization, maximum and minimum weightings by security and sector. Underlying Index constituents are subject to a maximum 5% per company weighting. 
The Underlying Index is expected to contain approximately 200 securities, but this number may change. If a company in the Underlying Index has acted in a manner inconsistent with the selection criteria of the Underlying Index, Morningstar may, in its discretion, after consulting with Sustainalytics, exclude the company from the Underlying Index between reconstitution periods. Morningstar may also make adjustments in accordance with its internal guidelines to reflect extraordinary corporate events (e.g. mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, insolvencies, and liquidations). The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted utilizing the rules-based methodology described above annually. Rebalancing refers to the process of adjusting the weights of the constituent securities in the Underlying Index in accordance with its optimized weighting methodology in response to changes in stock value and market capitalization. Reconstitution refers to the process of changing the constituent securities in the Underlying Index so that securities that no longer meet the criteria for the Underlying Index are excluded and new securities that do meet those criteria are included. 
The composition of the Underlying Index is based on the following social screens used in determining the Minority Empowerment Composite Score that narrows the Index Universe. Each of the social screens for the Minority Fund addresses an issue that has a history of NAACP support. 
1. Board Diversity This indicator provides an assessment of the diversity of a company’s board of directors. Diversity of background can provide fresh perspectives in the boardroom and lead to better board decision-making. 
2. Discrimination Policy This indicator provides an assessment of the quality of a company’s policy to eliminate discrimination, including racial discrimination, and ensure equal opportunity. 
1 
The UN Global Compact is an arrangement by which companies voluntarily and publicly commit to a set of principles, known as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, all of which are drawn from key UN Conventions and Declarations, in four areas: (i) human rights; (ii) labor; (iii) environment; and (iv) anti-corruption.

8. Conflict Minerals Programs This indicator measures the strength of a company’s initiatives to eliminate conflict minerals from its products and its supply chain. The term conflict minerals refers to tantalum (coltan), tin (cassiterite), tungsten (wolframite), and gold (together, they are commonly referred to as the 3TG), which have originated in conflict-affected or high-risk regions and may be used to financially support the conflict or human rights abuses. 
9. Media Ethics Programs This indicator assesses the strength of a company’s initiatives to ensure good governance, ethics, and integrity throughout its content creation to ensure impartiality, transparency, objectivity, fairness, age‑appropriateness, independence, plurality, and inclusiveness (diversity of content, topics, and viewpoints). 
10. Human Rights Programs This indicator assesses the strength of the company’s initiatives to comply with its obligation to respect human rights. 
11. Editorial Guidelines This indicator provides an assessment of the company’s commitment to address media ethics as it relates to the dissemination of content. This includes the company’s stated values related to the impact of content on protected classes and minorities.

18. Gender Pay Disclosure This indicator assesses the strength of a company’s disclosure related to the gender pay gap. 
Principal Risks
When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its objective, and investment results may vary substantially over time and from period to period. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors. An investment in the Fund involves risks, including equity investing risk, index performance risk and securities market risk, among others. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
Asset Class Risk. Securities in the Underlying Index or in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, settlement or margin payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the affected Fund’s income or the value of its assets may decrease. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In an attempt to limit the counterparty risk associated with such transactions, the Fund conducts business only with financial institutions judged by the Adviser to present acceptable credit risk.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives Risk is a combination of several risks, including the risks that: (1) an investment in a derivative instrument may not correlate well with the performance of the securities or asset class to which the Fund seeks exposure, (2) derivative contracts, including options, may expire worthless and the use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, (3) a derivative instrument entailing leverage may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested, (4) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to credit risk, for example, if the counterparty does not meet its obligations (see also “Counterparty Risk”), and (5) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to liquidity risk and the related risk that the instrument is difficult or impossible to value accurately.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. The price movement of an exchange-traded fund may not exactly track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company.
Equity Investing Risk. The market prices of equity securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non‑compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services and also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest

or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. 
Ethnic Diversity Risk. The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not ethnically diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not ethnically diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are ethnically diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market. 
Fee Risk. Because the fees paid by the Fund to Impact Shares are based on the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Fund to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Fund, on the other hand. 
Futures Contracts Risk. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a price, date and time specified when the contract is made. A Fund that uses futures contracts, which are a type of derivative, is subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain futures contracts. 
Index Performance Risk. The Fund seeks to track an index maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. There can be no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third party provider to create the index will result in the Fund achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the index, or the daily calculation of the index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The particular index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. 
Industry Concentration Risk. Because the Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s performance largely depends on the overall condition of such industry or group of industries and the Fund is susceptible to economic, political and regulatory risks or other occurrences associated with that industry or group of industries. 
Intellectual Property Risk. The Fund relies on licenses that permit the Adviser to use the Underlying Index and associated trade names, trademarks and service marks, as well as the Partner Nonprofit’s name and logo (the “Intellectual Property”) in connection with the investment strategies of the Fund and/or in marketing and other materials for the Fund. Such licenses may be terminated, and, as a result, the Fund may lose its ability to use the Intellectual Property. In the event a license is terminated, or the license provider does not have rights to license the Intellectual Property, the operations of the Fund may be adversely affected. 
Limited Fund Size Risk. The Fund may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If the Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated. 
Management Risk. Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser is a non‑profit organization with limited personnel and financial resources. The relative lack of resources may increase the Fund’s management risk. 
 
6

Market Price Variance Risk. Fund shares are listed for trading on NYSE (the “Exchange”) and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAV and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of Shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. In addition, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than NYSE. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when NYSE is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid‑ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Shares’ NAV may widen. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in Fund shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances between the market price of Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, a Fund share may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause a Fund share to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criterion with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill‑timed stop order. The Fund’s shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non‑U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained, and may otherwise be made available to non‑U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. The Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient. 
The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund. 
Mid‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in securities of mid‑cap companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid‑cap companies tend to have more narrow product lines, more limited financial resources and a more limited trading market for their stocks, as compared with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may decline significantly as market conditions change. 
Non‑Diversification Risk. As a non‑diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to the economic results of those issuers. An investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund. Although the Fund is “non‑diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company. 
Operational and Technology Risk. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants (as defined below), market makers, counterparties, 
 
7

market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations. 
Options Risk. Options, such as covered calls and covered puts, are subject to the risk that significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets. 
Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and invests in securities included in, or representative of, the Underlying Index regardless of such securities’ investment merits. The Fund will likely lose value to the extent the Underlying Index loses value. The Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including during declining markets. 
Securities Market Risk. Securities market risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. The profitability of the Fund substantially depends upon the Adviser correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks, bonds, loans, options on stocks, and other securities and the movements of interest rates. The Adviser cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accurately predicting price movements. The market prices of equities may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company (such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services), factors that affect a particular industry (such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages, or increased production costs) or general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry (such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally, or natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations). The spread of infectious disease including epidemics and pandemics also could affect the economies of many nations in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. For example, the COVID‑19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund’s investments, the Fund and your investment in the Fund. 
In addition, the increasing popularity of passive index-based investing may have the potential to increase security price correlations and volatility. As passive strategies generally buy or sell securities based simply on inclusion and representation in an index, securities prices will have an increasing tendency to rise or fall based on whether money is flowing into or out of passive strategies rather than based on an analysis of the prospects and valuation of individual securities. This may result in increased market volatility as more money is invested through passive strategies. As a result of the nature of the Fund’s investment activities, it is possible that the Fund’s financial performance may fluctuate substantially from period to period. Additionally, at any point in time an investment in the Fund may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 
Small‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in the securities of small‑cap companies either directly or indirectly through investments in ETFs, closed‑end funds or mutual funds may pose greater market and liquidity risks than larger, more established companies, because of limited product lines and/or operating history, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. In addition, the securities of such companies are typically more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies. 
 
8

Swaps Risk. Investments in swaps involve both the risks associated with an investment in the underlying investments or instruments (including equity investments) and counterparty risk. In a standard over‑the‑counter (“OTC”) swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount calculated based on the “notional amount” of predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investments in securities, because swaps may be leveraged and OTC swaps are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Swaps may also be considered illiquid. Certain swap transactions, including interest rate swaps and index credit default swaps, may be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading, although the swaps in which the Fund will invest are not currently subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The value of swaps, like many other derivatives, may move in unexpected ways and may result in losses for the Fund. 
Tracking Error Risk. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index. Because the Fund employs a representative sampling strategy, the Fund may experience tracking error to a greater extent than a fund that seeks to replicate an index. The Adviser may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to correlate to that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Because the Underlying Index rebalances monthly, but the Fund is not obligated to do the same, the risk of tracking error may increase following the rebalancing of the Underlying Index. 
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. As with any investment company, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.

The index returns do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes.
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 an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after‑tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). In some cases, the after‑tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.
Portfolio Management
Impact Shares, Corp. serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. The portfolio manager for the Fund is Ethan Powell, who has managed the Fund since inception.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The Fund issues and redeems shares only to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as creation units, each of which comprises 50,000 shares or such other amount as may be from time to time determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund (“Creation Units”). Retail investors may only purchase and sell shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).
Important Additional Information
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are a tax‑exempt investor or otherwise investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. If you are investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon withdrawals from that account.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF
FUND SUMMARY
Investment Objective
The Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF (the “Fund” or the “Women’s ETF”) seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the performance of the Morningstar® Women’s Empowerment Index (the “Underlying Index”).
Fees and Expenses
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

(1) 
The Fund pays for the transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services it requires under a unitary fee structure (the “unitary advisory fee”). Therefore, the Fund’s “Management Fee” includes fees payable to Impact Shares, Corp. (“Impact Shares” or the “Adviser”) for advisory services and for the provision by third parties engaged by Impact Shares of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. Under the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser bears all expenses of the Fund (including those of the services listed above) with the exception of those described under the section titled “Management of the Fund.”
(2) 
Impact Shares is paid a Management Fee at an annual rate of 0.75% on the “Average Daily Managed Assets” of the Fund. “Average Daily Managed Assets” is the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage).
(3) 
Expense information has been restated to reflect current contractual rates.
Expense Example
This Example helps you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to 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 sell or redeem all 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. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Investors in the Fund may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Fund shares, which are not included in the examples below. The Example reflects expense limitation agreements and/or waivers, if any, in effect for the one‑year period and the first year of the three-year period. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

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
  
12

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. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 36%. 
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its total assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (the “80% basket”) in component securities of the Underlying Index (“Component Securities”). The Fund may invest the remaining 20% of its total assets (the “20% basket”) in securities or other instruments not included in the Underlying Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Underlying Index to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). The Fund may invest in securities of any type (including equity and debt securities) and of companies of any market capitalization (including small- and mid‑capitalization companies), market sector or industry, but expects to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies. The Fund may use the 20% basket to invest in securities issued by other investment companies, including other exchange-traded funds. The Fund also may invest in warrants and may also use derivatives, primarily swaps (including equity, variance and volatility swaps), options and futures contracts on securities, interest rates and/or currencies, within the 20% basket to track the Underlying Index and as substitutes for direct investments the Fund can make. The Fund may also use derivatives such as swaps, options (including options on futures), futures, and foreign currency transactions (e.g., foreign currency swaps, futures and forwards) to hedge various investments for risk management and speculative purposes. In addition, the Fund’s 20% basket may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates. The Fund does not currently engage in derivative transactions and has adopted a policy prohibiting derivatives transactions. If the Board deems it advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund, the Fund may change this policy in the future and allow derivatives transactions undertaken in compliance with the new SEC rules.
Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks. The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance of the Underlying Index.
The Adviser may use a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Underlying Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, leverage and price to earnings ratios) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index. “Tracking error” is the difference between the performance (return) of the Fund’s portfolio and that of the Underlying Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the Fund’s tracking error will not exceed 5%. Funds that employ a representative sampling strategy may incur tracking error risk to a greater extent than funds that seek to replicate an index.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Underlying Index is so concentrated.
The Fund is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.
The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of U.S. large and mid‑ capitalization companies that are “empowering to women,” and to exhibit risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Morningstar US Large‑Mid Cap® Index (the “Parent Index”), as described below. The Parent Index is a free
  
13

float market‑cap weighted index that constitutes 90% of the total market capitalization of the U.S. market. The Parent Index is an equity benchmark designed to comprehensively represent the performance of the companies incorporated and/or listed in the United States and contains large and mid‑capitalization equities and is designed with the following objectives in mind: (1) transparent and objective rules; (2) full investibility; and (3) low turnover. 
The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies from the Parent Index that have strong women’s empowerment practices. Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar” or the “Index Provider”) constructs the Underlying Index using company level indicators, scores, and indicator relevance weighting from Equileap, the Fund’s ESG research provider. The YWCA USA (“YWCA” or the “Partner Nonprofit”) has reviewed and approved the use of Equileap’s social screens (through the use of the Underlying Index) to measure the strength of women’s empowerment practices and products or services for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Gender Diversity Score”). After excluding those companies that Equileap determines are (i) involved in the weapons, gambling, or tobacco industries, (ii) on the Norwegian Ethics Council List1 or (iii) that have experienced an applicable legal controversy, the 200 best scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components. The Underlying Index is constructed by Morningstar using an optimized weighting methodology. Under this methodology, Morningstar uses a quantitative process that is designed to determine optimal weights for securities to maximize exposure to companies with higher rankings as to women’s empowerment practices, while maintaining an Underlying Index that exhibits risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Parent Index. Morningstar determines the weighting of each security in the Underlying Index using the following variables: Gender Diversity Score, market capitalization, and maximum and minimum weightings by security and sector. Underlying Index constituents are subject to a maximum 5% per company weighting. 
The Underlying Index is expected to contain approximately 200 securities, but this number may change. If a company in the Underlying Index has acted in a manner inconsistent with the selection criteria of the Underlying Index, Morningstar may, in its discretion, after consulting with Equileap, exclude the company from the Underlying Index between reconstitution periods. Morningstar may also make adjustments in accordance with its internal guidelines to reflect extraordinary corporate events (e.g. mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, insolvencies, and liquidations). The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted utilizing the rules-based methodology described above annually. Rebalancing refers to the process of adjusting the weights of the constituent securities in the Underlying Index in accordance with its optimized weighting methodology in response to changes in stock value and market capitalization. Reconstitution refers to the process of changing the constituent securities in the Underlying Index so that securities that no longer meet the criteria for the Underlying Index are excluded and new securities that do meet those criteria are included. 
The composition of the Underlying Index is based on the following social screens used in determining the Gender Diversity Score that narrows the universe of companies included in the Parent Index. Equileap determines a company’s Gender Diversity Score based upon its analysis of publicly available information, as reported by such company in its most recent annual report for its fiscal year end. 
Each of the social screens for the Fund addresses an issue that has a history of YWCA support.

Principal Risks
When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its objective, and investment results may vary substantially over time and from period to period. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors. An investment in the Fund involves risks, including equity investing risk, index performance risk and securities market risk, among others. . The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
Asset Class Risk. Securities in the Underlying Index or in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, settlement or margin payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the affected Fund’s income or the value of its assets may decrease. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In an attempt to limit the counterparty risk associated with such transactions, the Fund conducts business only with financial institutions judged by the Adviser to present acceptable credit risk.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives Risk is a combination of several risks, including the risks that: (1) an investment in a derivative instrument may not correlate well with the performance of the securities or asset class to which the Fund seeks exposure, (2) derivative contracts, including options, may expire worthless and the use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, (3) a derivative instrument entailing leverage may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested, (4) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to credit risk, for example, if the counterparty does not meet its obligations (see also “Counterparty Risk”), and (5) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to liquidity risk and the related risk that the instrument is difficult or impossible to value accurately.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. The price movement of an exchange-traded fund may not exactly track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company.
Equity Investing Risk. The market prices of equity securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may
  
16

directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non‑compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services and also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. 
Fee Risk. Because the fees paid by the Fund to Impact Shares are based on the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Fund to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Fund, on the other hand. 
Futures Contracts Risk. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a price, date and time specified when the contract is made. A Fund that uses futures contracts, which are a type of derivative, is subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain futures contracts. 
Gender Diversity Risk. The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not gender diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not gender diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are gender diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market. 
Index Performance Risk. The Fund seeks to track an index maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. There can be no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third party provider to create the index will result in the Fund achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the index, or the daily calculation of the index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The particular index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. 
Industry Concentration Risk. Because the Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s performance may depend to a large extent on the overall condition of such industry or group of industries and the Fund may be susceptible to economic, political and regulatory risks or other occurrences associated with that industry or group of industries. 
Intellectual Property Risk. The Fund relies on licenses that permit the Adviser to use the Underlying Index and associated trade names, trademarks and service marks, as well as the Partner Nonprofit’s name and logo (the “Intellectual Property”) in connection with the investment strategies of the Fund and/or in marketing and other materials for the Fund. Such licenses may be terminated, and, as a result, the Fund may lose its ability to use the Intellectual Property. In the event a license is terminated, or the license provider does not have rights to license the Intellectual Property, the operations of the Fund may be adversely affected. 
Limited Fund Size Risk. The Fund may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If a Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated. 
 
17

Management Risk. Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser is a non‑profit organization with limited personnel and financial resources. The relative lack of resources may increase the Fund’s management risk. 
Market Price Variance Risk. Fund shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the net asset value (“NAV”) and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. In addition, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the Exchange. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the Exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid‑ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Shares’ NAV may widen. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in Fund shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances between the market price of Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, a Fund share may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause a Fund share to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criterion with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill‑timed stop order. The Fund’s shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non‑U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained, and may otherwise be made available to non‑U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. The Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient. 
The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund. 
Mid‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in securities of mid‑cap companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid‑cap companies tend to have more narrow product lines, more limited financial resources and a more limited trading market for their stocks, as compared with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may decline significantly as market conditions change. 
Non‑Diversification Risk. As a non‑diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to the economic results of those issuers. An investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund.
 
18

Although each Fund is “non‑diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, each Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company. 
Operational and Technology Risk. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants (as defined below), market makers, counterparties, market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations. 
Options Risk. Options, such as covered calls and covered puts, are subject to the risk that significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets. 
Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and invests in securities included in, or representative of, the Underlying Index regardless of such securities’ investment merits. The Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including during declining markets. 
Securities Market Risk. Securities market risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. The profitability of the Fund substantially depends upon the Adviser correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks, bonds, loans, options on stocks, and other securities and the movements of interest rates. The Adviser cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accurately predicting price movements. The market prices of equities may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company (such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services), factors that affect a particular industry (such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages, or increased production costs) or general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry (such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally, or natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations). The spread of infectious disease including epidemics and pandemics also could affect the economies of many nations in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. For example, the COVID‑19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund’s investments, the Fund and your investment in the Fund. 
In addition, the increasing popularity of passive index-based investing may have the potential to increase security price correlations and volatility. As passive strategies generally buy or sell securities based simply on inclusion and representation in an index, securities prices will have an increasing tendency to rise or fall based on whether money is flowing into or out of passive strategies rather than based on an analysis of the prospects and valuation of individual securities. This may result in increased market volatility as more money is invested through passive strategies. As a result of the nature of the Fund’s investment activities, it is possible that the Fund’s financial performance may fluctuate substantially from period to period. Additionally, at any point in time an investment in the Fund may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 
 
19

Small‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in the securities of small‑cap companies either directly or indirectly through investments in ETFs, closed‑end funds or mutual funds may pose greater market and liquidity risks than larger, more established companies, because of limited product lines and/or operating history, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. In addition, the securities of such companies are typically more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies. 
Swaps Risk. Investments in swaps involve both the risks associated with an investment in the underlying investments or instruments (including equity investments) and counterparty risk. In a standard over‑the‑counter (“OTC”) swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount calculated based on the “notional amount” of predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investments in securities, because swaps may be leveraged and OTC swaps are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Swaps may also be considered illiquid. Certain swap transactions, including interest rate swaps and index credit default swaps, may be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading, although the swaps in which the Fund will invest are not currently subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The value of swaps, like many other derivatives, may move in unexpected ways and may result in losses for the Fund. 
Tracking Error Risk. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index. Because the Fund employs a representative sampling strategy, the Fund may experience tracking error to a greater extent than a fund that seeks to replicate an index. The Adviser may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to correlate to that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Because the Underlying Index rebalances monthly, but the Fund is not obligated to do the same, the risk of tracking error may increase following the rebalancing of the Underlying Index. 
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. As with any investment company, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. 
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The following bar chart shows the changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year, and the table compares the Fund’s performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices for the same period and since inception. As with all mutual funds, the Fund’s past performance (both before and after taxes) does not predict the Fund’s future performance. Updated information about the Fund’s performance can be found by visiting the Fund’s website at www.impactetfs.org or by calling 844‑448‑3383 (844‑GIVE‑ETF).

The index returns do not reflect deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes.
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 an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after‑tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). In some cases, the after‑tax returns may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The Fund issues and redeems shares only to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units, each of which comprises 50,000 shares or such other amount as may be from time to time determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund. Retail investors may only purchase and sell shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).
Important Additional Information
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are a tax‑exempt investor or otherwise investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. If you are investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon withdrawals from that account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF
FUND SUMMARY
Investment Objective
The Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF (the “Fund” or the “Sustainable Development Goals ETF”) seeks investment results that, before fees and expenses, track the performance of the Morningstar® Societal Development Index (the “Underlying Index”).
Fees and Expenses
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

(1) 
The Fund pays for the transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services it requires under a unitary fee structure (the “unitary advisory fee”). Therefore, the Fund’s “Management Fee” includes fees payable to Impact Shares, Corp. (“Impact Shares” or the “Adviser”) for advisory services and for the provision by third parties engaged by Impact Shares of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. Under the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser bears all expenses of the Fund (including those of the services listed above) with the exception of those described under the section titled “Management of the Fund.”
(2) 
Impact Shares is paid a Management Fee at an annual rate of 0.75% on the “Average Daily Managed Assets” of the Fund. “Average Daily Managed Assets” is the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage).
(3) 
Expense information has been restated to reflect current contractual rates.
Expense Example
This Example helps you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to 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 sell or redeem all 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. Your actual costs may be higher or lower. Investors in the Fund may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of Fund shares, which are not included in the examples below. The Example reflects expense limitation agreements and/or waivers, if any, in effect for the one‑year period and the first year of the three-year period. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30%.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its total assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (the “80% basket”) in component securities of the Underlying Index (“Component Securities”). The Fund may invest the remaining 20% of its total assets (the “20% basket”) in securities and instruments not included in the Underlying Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. For example, the Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Underlying Index to reflect various corporate actions (such as mergers) and other changes in the Underlying Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions). Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three countries, including the United States, and at least 40% of its net assets will be invested in the securities of non‑U.S. companies, which may be in both developed and emerging market countries. The Adviser currently considers a company to be a non‑U.S. company if: (i) at least 50% of the company’s assets are located outside of the United States; (ii) at least 50% of the company’s revenues are generated outside of the United States; (iii) the company is organized or maintains its principal place of business outside of the United States; or (iv) its securities are traded principally outside the United States. A country is considered to be an emerging market country by the Adviser if the country is classified by the World Bank as low income, middle income or upper middle income, or, by the International Monetary Fund as a “non‑advanced” country.
The Fund may invest in securities of any type (including equity and debt securities) and of companies of any market capitalization (including small- and mid‑capitalization companies), market sector or industry, but expects to invest primarily in equity securities of U.S. companies and foreign (non‑U.S.) companies in both developed and emerging markets. The Fund may use the 20% basket to invest in securities issued by other investment companies, including other exchange-traded funds. The Fund also may invest in warrants and may also use derivatives, primarily swaps (including equity, variance and volatility swaps), options and futures contracts on securities, interest rates and/or currencies, within the 20% basket to track the Underlying Index and as substitutes for direct investments the Fund can make. The Fund may also use derivatives such as swaps, options (including options on futures), futures, and foreign currency transactions (e.g., foreign currency swaps, futures and forwards) to hedge various investments for risk management and speculative purposes. In addition, the Fund’s 20% basket may be invested in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of money market funds advised by the Adviser or its affiliates The Fund does not currently engage in derivative transactions and has adopted a policy prohibiting derivatives transactions. If the Board deems it advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund, the Fund may change this policy in the future and allow derivatives transactions undertaken in compliance with the new SEC rules.
Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to “beat” the index it tracks. The Fund uses a passive management strategy designed to track the total return performance of the Underlying Index.
The Adviser may use a representative sampling indexing strategy to manage the Fund. “Representative sampling” is an indexing strategy that involves investing in a representative sample of securities that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Underlying Index. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability, leverage and price to earnings ratios) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index. “Tracking error” is the difference between the performance (return) of the Fund’s portfolio and that of the Underlying Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the Fund’s tracking error will not exceed 5%. Funds that employ a representative sampling strategy may incur tracking error risk to a greater extent than funds that seek to replicate an index.
The Fund concentrates its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Underlying Index is so concentrated.
The Fund is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

The Underlying Index is designed to measure the performance of large and mid‑capitalization companies globally that (i) display a commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals1, (ii) adhere to the principles of the UN Global Compact2, (iii) display a commitment to reducing poverty and supporting economic development globally and (iv) have exposure to countries with low levels of socioeconomic development. The Underlying Index is intended to exhibit risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Morningstar® Global Markets Large‑Mid Index (the “Parent Index”), as described below. 
The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies with specific characteristics (described below) from the Parent Index. The Parent Index is a free-float market‑cap weighted index composed of the equity securities of publicly-traded companies encompassing the top 97% of stocks by market capitalization across 46 countries including both developed and emerging markets. To be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index, companies must meet specific trading frequency, U.S. Dollar trading volume and turnover, and free-float market capitalization requirements. The Underlying Index provides exposure to both developed and emerging markets. 
Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar” or the “Index Provider”) constructs the Underlying Index using company level indicators, scores, and indicator relevance weightings from Sustainalytics, the Fund’s ESG research provider, that include certain social criteria identified by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (“UNCDF” or the “Partner Nonprofit”), to measure (i) commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals1, (ii) adherence to the principles of the UN Global Compact2, (iii) commitment to reducing poverty and supporting economic development globally and (iv) exposure to countries with low levels of socioeconomic development for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Societal Development Score”). Morningstar determines a company’s exposure to countries with low levels of socioeconomic development using a quantitative scale based on the percentage of a company’s revenue identified as coming from countries defined as “low income” or “lower middle income” by the World Bank or as a “Least Developed Country” by the United Nations, excluding countries that are classified as developed or emerging by Morningstar Indexes, and increases the company’s Societal Development Score accordingly. In addition to the Societal Development Score, Sustainalytics assigns each company an “Overall ESG Score” which reflects its assessment of a company’s overall ESG preparedness and performance relative to other companies in the same global industry peer group. The Overall ESG Score is comprised of a company’s numerical scores for environmental, social and governance criteria as determined according to Sustainalytics’ proprietary methodology. After excluding those companies that Sustainalytics determines (i) have products involved in the following activities: adult entertainment, alcoholic beverages, controversial weapons, gambling, military contracting weapons, nuclear energy and small arms, or tobacco, (ii) have a detrimental controversy score for incidents related to a company involving one or more of the following matters: business ethics, governance, public policy, employee relations, social supply chain, society and community, operations, or environmental supply chain, (iii) are not compliant with the principles of the UN Global Compact, or (iv) have a below average Overall ESG Score relative to its global industry peers; the 200 highest scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components. The Underlying Index is constructed by Morningstar using an optimized free-float market cap weighting methodology. Under this methodology, Morningstar uses a quantitative process that is designed to determine optimal weights for securities to maximize exposure to companies with higher rankings as to global economic development, while maintaining an Underlying Index that exhibits risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Parent Index. Morningstar determines the weighting of each security in the Underlying Index using the following variables: Societal Development Score, market capitalization, maximum and minimum weightings by security, sector and region. Underlying Index constituents are subject to a maximum 5% per company weighting. 
1 
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) are a collection of 17 global goals set by the UN Development Program that calls for integration of economic development, social equity, and environmental protection. Adopted in 2015, the SDGs are intended to stimulate action over the next fifteen years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet, including: poverty eradication, food security, health, education, gender equality, access to water, sanitation, clean energy, decent jobs, key infrastructure, strong institutions, inequality reduction, sustainable urbanization, responsible production and consumption patterns, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and ecosystem conservation. 
2 
The UN Global Compact is an arrangement by which companies voluntarily and publicly commit to a set of principles, known as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, all of which are drawn from key UN Conventions and Declarations, in four areas: (i) human rights; (ii) labor; (iii) environment; and (iv) anti-corruption.

The Underlying Index provides exposure to both developed and emerging markets and is expected to contain approximately 200 securities, but this number may change. If a company in the Underlying Index has acted in a manner inconsistent with the selection criteria of the Underlying Index, Morningstar may, in its discretion, after consulting with Sustainalytics, exclude the company from the Underlying Index between reconstitution periods. Morningstar may also make adjustments to the Underlying Index in accordance with its internal guidelines to reflect extraordinary corporate events (e.g. mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, insolvencies, and liquidations). The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted utilizing the rules-based methodology described above annually. Rebalancing refers to the process of adjusting the weights of the constituent securities in the Underlying Index in accordance with its optimized weighting methodology in response to changes in stock value and market capitalization. Reconstitution refers to the process of changing the constituent securities in the Underlying Index so that securities that no longer meet the criteria for the Underlying Index are excluded and new securities that do meet those criteria are included. 
The composition of the Underlying Index is based on thirty‑two separate social indicators used in determining the Societal Development Score that narrows the universe of companies included in the Parent Index. Each of these social indicators addresses an issue that has historically been important to the UNCDF and falls within one of the following five groups:

Principal Risks
When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its objective, and investment results may vary substantially over time and from period to period. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors. An investment in the Fund involves risks, including foreign securities risk, emerging markets risk, equity investing risk, index performance risk and securities market risk, among others. . The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:
Asset Class Risk. Securities in the Underlying Index or in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes.
Brexit. In June 2016, the United Kingdom approved a referendum to leave the European Union (commonly known as “Brexit”). On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union and during a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020, negotiated an agreement that governs the terms of the ongoing relationship between United Kingdom and the European Union. At present the long term political and economic consequences of Brexit are uncertain. Given the size and importance of the United Kingdom’s economy, uncertainty about its legal, political, and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the European Union may continue to be a source of instability. Moreover, other countries may seek to withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the euro, the common currency of the European Union. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geopolitical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries, these events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, settlement or margin payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the affected Fund’s income or the value of its assets may decrease. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In an attempt to limit the counterparty risk associated with such transactions, the Fund conducts business only with financial institutions judged by the Adviser to present acceptable credit risk.
  
28

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives Risk is a combination of several risks, including the risks that: (1) an investment in a derivative instrument may not correlate well with the performance of the securities or asset class to which the Fund seeks exposure, (2) derivative contracts, including options, may expire worthless and the use of derivatives may result in losses to the Fund, (3) a derivative instrument entailing leverage may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested, (4) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to credit risk, for example, if the counterparty does not meet its obligations (see also “Counterparty Risk”), and (5) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to liquidity risk and the related risk that the instrument is difficult or impossible to value accurately. 
Emerging Markets Risk. Investing in issuers located in or tied economically to emerging markets is subject to the same risks as foreign market investments, generally to a greater extent. The Fund will be subject to these risks to an even greater extent, to the extent the Fund invests in issuers exposed to countries defined as “low income” or “lower middle income” by the World Bank or as a “Least Developed Country” by the United Nations. These countries typically confront severe structural impediments to sustainable development and are highly vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks and have low levels of human assets. Emerging markets may have additional risks including greater fluctuations in market values and currency exchange rates; increased risk of default; greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability; increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers to which the Fund may be exposed; increased risk of embargoes or economic sanctions on a country, sector, or issuer; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non‑U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest, and other income, and on the Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; lower levels of liquidity; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle transactions; greater risk of issues with share registration and safe custody; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and longer settlement; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments. Additionally, a foreign issuer is not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited. 
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. The price movement of an exchange-traded fund may not exactly track the underlying index and may result in a loss. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the underlying investment company when the Fund invests in shares of another investment company. 
Equity Investing Risk. The market prices of equity securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non‑compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services and also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time. 
Fee Risk. Because the fees paid by the Fund to Impact Shares are based on the average daily value of the total assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Fund to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Fund, on the other hand. 
 
29

Futures Contracts Risk. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a price, date and time specified when the contract is made. A Fund that uses futures contracts, which are a type of derivative, is subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain futures contracts. 
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in securities of non‑U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments (for example, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (for non‑U.S. securities not denominated in U.S. dollars); future foreign economic, financial, political and social developments; nationalization; exploration or confiscatory taxation; smaller markets; different trading and settlement practices; less governmental supervision; and different accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements) that may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. These risks are magnified for investments in issuers tied economically to emerging markets, the economies of which tend to be more volatile than the economies of developed markets. In addition, investments by the Fund in non‑U.S. securities may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries on dividends, interest, capital gains, or other income or proceeds. Those taxes will reduce the Fund’s yield on any such securities. 
Geographic Risk. To the extent the Fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the Fund’s assets, the Fund will be subject to the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and the Fund’s shares may be subject to increased price volatility. 
Index Performance Risk. The Fund seeks to track an index maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Fund or the Adviser. There can be no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third party provider to create the index will result in the Fund achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the index, or the daily calculation of the index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The particular index used by the Fund may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Fund. 
Industry Concentration Risk. Because the Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, the Fund’s performance may depend to a large extent on the overall condition of such industry or group of industries and the Fund may be susceptible to economic, political and regulatory risks or other occurrences associated with that industry or group of industries. 
Intellectual Property Risk. The Fund relies on licenses that permit the Adviser to use the Underlying Index and associated trade names, trademarks and service marks, as well as the Partner Nonprofit’s name and logo (the “Intellectual Property”) in connection with the investment strategies of the Fund and/or in marketing and other materials for the Fund. Such licenses may be terminated, and, as a result, the Fund may lose its ability to use the Intellectual Property. In the event a license is terminated, or the license provider does not have rights to license the Intellectual Property, the operations of the Fund may be adversely affected. 
Limited Fund Size Risk. The Fund may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If a Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated. 
Management Risk. Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser is a non‑profit organization with limited personnel and financial resources. The relative lack of resources may increase the Fund’s management risk.

Market Price Variance Risk. Fund shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the net asset value (“NAV”) and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. In addition, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the Exchange. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the Exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid‑ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the Shares’ NAV may widen. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in Fund shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances between the market price of Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, a Fund share may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause a Fund share to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criterion with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill‑timed stop order. The Fund’s shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non‑U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained, and may otherwise be made available to non‑U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. The Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient. 
The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund. 
Mid‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in securities of mid‑cap companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid‑cap companies tend to have more narrow product lines, more limited financial resources and a more limited trading market for their stocks, as compared with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may decline significantly as market conditions change. 
Non‑Diversification Risk. As a non‑diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to the economic results of those issuers. An investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund. Although the Fund is “non‑diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company. 
Operational and Technology Risk. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants (as defined below), market makers, counterparties, 
 
31

market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations. 
Options Risk. Options, such as covered calls and covered puts, are subject to the risk that significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets. 
Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and invests in securities included in, or representative of, the Underlying Index regardless of such securities’ investment merits. The Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including during declining markets. 
Securities Market Risk. Securities market risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. The profitability of the Fund substantially depends upon the Adviser correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks, bonds, loans, options on stocks, and other securities and the movements of interest rates. The Adviser cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accurately predicting price movements. The market prices of equities may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company (such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services), factors that affect a particular industry (such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages, or increased production costs) or general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry (such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally, or natural and environmental disasters and systemic market dislocations). The spread of infectious disease including epidemics and pandemics also could affect the economies of many nations in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. For example, the COVID‑19 pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in significant market volatility, exchange suspensions and closures, declines in global financial markets, higher default rates, supply chain disruptions, and a substantial economic downturn in economies throughout the world. In addition, military action by Russia in Ukraine has, and may continue to, adversely affect global energy and financial markets and therefore could affect the value of the Fund’s investments, including beyond the Fund’s direct exposure to Russian issuers or nearby geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict and could be substantial. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. Such impacts, which may vary across asset classes, may adversely affect the performance of the Fund’s investments, the Fund and your investment in the Fund. 
In addition, the increasing popularity of passive index-based investing may have the potential to increase security price correlations and volatility. As passive strategies generally buy or sell securities based simply on inclusion and representation in an index, securities prices will have an increasing tendency to rise or fall based on whether money is flowing into or out of passive strategies rather than based on an analysis of the prospects and valuation of individual securities. This may result in increased market volatility as more money is invested through passive strategies. As a result of the nature of the Fund’s investment activities, it is possible that the Fund’s financial performance may fluctuate substantially from period to period. Additionally, at any point in time an investment in the Fund may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. 
Small‑Cap Company Risk. Investing in the securities of small‑cap companies either directly or indirectly through investments in ETFs, closed‑end funds or mutual funds may pose greater market and liquidity risks than larger, more established companies, because of limited product lines and/or operating history, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. In addition, the securities of such companies are typically more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies. 
Swaps Risk. Investments in swaps involve both the risks associated with an investment in the underlying investments or instruments (including equity investments) and counterparty risk. In a standard 
 
32

over‑the‑counter (“OTC”) swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns, differentials in rates of return or some other amount calculated based on the “notional amount” of predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. Swaps can involve greater risks than direct investments in securities, because swaps may be leveraged and OTC swaps are subject to counterparty risk (e.g., the risk of a counterparty’s defaulting on the obligation or bankruptcy), credit risk and pricing risk (i.e., swaps may be difficult to value). Swaps may also be considered illiquid. Certain swap transactions, including interest rate swaps and index credit default swaps, may be subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading, although the swaps in which the Fund will invest are not currently subject to mandatory clearing and exchange trading. The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The value of swaps, like many other derivatives, may move in unexpected ways and may result in losses for the Fund. 
Tracking Error Risk. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index. Because the Fund employs a representative sampling strategy, the Fund may experience tracking error to a greater extent than a fund that seeks to replicate an index. The Adviser may not be able to cause the Fund’s performance to correlate to that of the Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Because the Underlying Index rebalances monthly but the Fund is not obligated to do the same, the risk of tracking error may increase following the rebalancing of the Underlying Index. 
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. As with any investment company, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The Fund issues and redeems shares only to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as Creation Units, each of which comprises 50,000 shares or such other amount as may be from time to time determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund. Retail investors may only purchase and sell shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).
Important Additional Information
Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are a tax‑exempt investor or otherwise investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. If you are investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon withdrawals from that account.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions or spreads, 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. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 78%

Principal Investment Strategy
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in mortgage-backed securities backed by pools of mortgage loans that the Fund’s Sub‑Adviser believes were made to minority families, low‑income families, and/or families that live in persistent poverty areas. These loans include home loans in census tracts where more than 50% of the population is non‑white and at least 40% of the population is living at or below the poverty line (defined as a racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty or “R/ECAP”); loans in counties where, for more than 20 years, 20% or more of the population has lived in poverty (defined as a persistent poverty county or “PPC”); and loans to minority borrowers or loans originated in a census tract where more than 50% of the population is a minority (also referred to as a majority-minority census tract). The Fund will invest at least 51% of its net assets in mortgage-backed securities that the Fund’s investment advisor believes will be deemed to be qualified under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”), so that financial institutions that are subject to the CRA may receive investment test or similar consideration/credit under the CRA with respect to shares of the Fund held by them. The Fund may also invest in mortgage-backed securities backed by pools of loans sourced from non‑traditional originators including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and minority-owned banks.
The mortgage-backed securities in which the Fund invests are issued and/or guaranteed by government- sponsored enterprises (each a “GSE”), such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Bank (“Freddie Mac”) and are therefore rated investment grade. To create the mortgage-backed securities in which the Fund invests, these GSEs securitize pools of mortgage loans and each mortgage loan in the pool must meet the conforming underwriting standards of the relevant agency. While securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are solely the obligation of the issuer and generally do not carry any guarantee from the U.S. government.
Using a proprietary algorithm, the Sub‑Adviser screens mortgage origination tapes to identify loans that are made to low‑ and moderate-income families and minorities. A “low‑income borrower” is a person whose total annual income is 50% or less of the area median income (“AMI”) or average income for the community where they live. A “moderate-income borrower” is person whose total annual income is above 50% but less than 80% of the AMI or average income for the community where they live. The Sub‑Adviser will designate a borrower as living in a persistent poverty area if the borrower’s address is located in one of the Federally designated PPCs. In addition, the Sub‑Adviser assesses the loan‑to‑value and FICO scores of borrowers before selecting a mortgage for inclusion in the pools underlying the mortgage-backed securities for the Fund’s portfolio. When making investment decisions, the Sub‑Adviser will consider coupon payments of the qualifying mortgage-backed security pools to manage the prepayment and/or extension risk of the Fund’s portfolio.
The Fund is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.
Principal Risks
When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. No assurance can be given that the Fund will achieve its objective, and investment results may vary substantially over time and from period to period. An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors. An investment in the Fund involves risks, including mortgage-related securities risk, interest rate risk, extension risk, credit risk and U.S. government securities risk, among others. Descriptions of these and other principal risks of investing in the Fund are provided below. . The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk
  
37

summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include: 
Active Investment Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed. The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, relative value, or potential appreciation of a particular sector, security or investment strategy may prove to be incorrect, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s investment techniques and decisions will produce the desired results. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved. 
Asset Class Risk. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes. 
Call Risk. Some debt securities may be redeemed, or “called,” at the option of the issuer before their stated maturity date. In general, an issuer will call its debt securities if they can be refinanced by issuing new debt securities which bear a lower interest rate. The Fund is subject to the possibility that during periods of falling interest rates an issuer will call its high yielding debt securities. The Fund would then be forced to invest the proceeds at lower interest rates, likely resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income. 
Cash Transactions Risk. The Fund will effect its creations and redemptions primarily for cash rather than in‑kind. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax‑efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects all of its creations and redemptions in‑kind. Because the Fund will effect redemptions for cash, it may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. A sale of shares may result in capital gains or losses and may also result in higher brokerage costs. 
Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. These risks may be greater when engaging in over‑the‑counter transactions or when the Fund conducts business with a limited number of counterparties. 
Credit Risk. An issuer or other obligated party of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and/or principal payments when due. In addition, the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or unwillingness to make such payments. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether. 
Extension Risk. Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the issuer (or other obligated party) more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these debt securities to fall. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of debt securities, making their market value more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of longer-term debt securities generally changes more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term debt securities. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, securities may exhibit additional volatility and may lose value. 
Fee Risk. Because the fees paid by the Fund to Impact Shares (as defined below) are based on the average daily value of the managed assets of the Fund, less all accrued liabilities of the Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Fund to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Fund, on the other hand. 
Income Risk. The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall or if there are defaults in the mortgage loans underling the securities in its portfolio. This decline can occur because the Fund may subsequently invest in lower-yielding securities as debt securities in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or the Fund otherwise needs to purchase additional debt securities. 
 
38

Inflation Risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. 
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising market interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter term debt securities and higher for longer-term debt securities. Duration is a reasonably accurate measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates and a common measure of interest rate risk. Duration measures a debt security’s expected life on a present value basis, taking into account the debt security’s yield, interest payments and final maturity. In general, duration represents the expected percentage change in the value of a security for an immediate 1% change in interest rates. For example, the price of a debt security with a three-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Therefore, prices of debt securities with shorter durations tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than debt securities with longer durations. As the value of a debt security changes over time, so will its duration. As of the date of this Prospectus, the United States is experiencing a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates. 
Liquidity Risk. The Fund may hold certain investments that may trade over‑the‑counter or in limited volume or lack an active trading market. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to sell or close out of such investments at favorable times or prices (or at all), or at the prices approximating those at which the Fund currently values them. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments and may be subject to wide fluctuations in market value. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid investments. The risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress. 
Limited Fund Size Risk. The Fund may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If the Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated. 
Management Risk. Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser has limited experience managing an ETF. The relative lack of experience of the Adviser may increase the Fund’s management risk. 
Market Price Variance Risk. Fund shares are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE” or the “Exchange”) and can be bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAV and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units (as defined below), the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. In addition, the securities held by the Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than NYSE. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. 
Accordingly, during the time when NYSE is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid‑ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to the shares’ NAV may widen. Further, 
 
39

secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in Fund shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances between the market price of Fund shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, the Fund’s shares may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause the Fund’s shares to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criterion with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill‑timed stop order. The Fund’s shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non‑U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Fund’s primary listing is maintained and may otherwise be made available to non‑U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. The Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade Fund shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient. 
The Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund. 
Mortgage-Related Securities Risk. Mortgage-related securities are subject to the same risks as investments in other types of debt securities, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and valuation risk. However, these investments make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory events that affect the value of real estate. Mortgage-related securities are also significantly affected by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans underlying those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage-related securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities. As the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted, the timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Fund’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-related securities. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-related securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk. 
Non‑Diversification Risk. As a non‑diversified fund for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to the economic results of those issuers. An investment in the Fund could fluctuate in value more than an investment in a diversified fund. 
Although the Fund is “non‑diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company. 
Operational and Technology Risk. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Fund’s service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants (as defined below), market makers, counterparties, market participants, or issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders, including by causing losses for the Fund or impairing Fund operations. 
 
40

Prepayment Risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will repay principal prior to the scheduled maturity date. Debt securities allowing prepayment may offer less potential for gains during a period of declining interest rates, as the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds of any prepayment at lower interest rates. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change. 
Securities Market Risk. The value of securities owned by the Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. A general downturn in the securities market may cause multiple asset classes to decline in value simultaneously. Many factors, including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious disease including epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID‑19 outbreak can affect this value and you may lose money by investing in the Fund. These conditions (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental disasters, including earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather- related phenomena generally, as well as the spread of infectious disease including epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID‑19 outbreak, can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. To the extent the Fund takes significant positions in one or more specific sectors, countries or regions, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with such sector(s), country(ies) or region(s) to a greater extent than would be a more broadly diversified fund. 
Significant Exposure Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests a large percentage of its assets in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified. 
Specified Pools Risk. The Fund is expected to primarily invest in specified pools of mortgage loans. This may cause the Fund to take longer to fully achieve its principal investment strategy. 
Trading Issues Risk. Although the shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange’s “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Fund’s shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units (as defined below). In the event market makers cease making a market in the Fund’s shares or authorized participants stop submitting purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units, Fund shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to their net asset value. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. The Fund may have difficulty maintaining its listing on the Exchange in the event the Fund’s assets are small or the Fund does not have enough shareholders. 
Transactions Risk. The Fund may purchase securities via to‑be‑announced transactions (“TBA Transactions”). In such a transaction, the purchase price of the securities is typically fixed at the time of the commitment, but delivery and payment can take place a month or more after the date of the commitment. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value may be more or less than the purchase or sale price. Purchasing securities in a TBA Transaction may give rise to investment leverage and may increase the Fund’s volatility. 
Default by, or bankruptcy of, a counterparty to a TBA Transaction would expose the Fund to possible losses because of an adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools specified in such transaction. 
 
41

U.S. Government Securities Risk. U.S. government securities are subject to interest rate risk but generally do not involve the credit risks associated with investments in other types of debt securities. As a result, the yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than the yields available from other debt securities. U.S. government securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and the payment of principal when held to maturity. While securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. federal government agencies (such as Ginnie Mae) are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, securities issued by government sponsored entities (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) are solely the obligation of the issuer and generally do not carry any guarantee from the U.S. government. 
Obligations of U.S. government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, the maximum potential liability of the issuers of some of these securities may greatly exceed their current resources and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it were not obligated to do so by law. 
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been operating under conservatorship, with the Federal Housing Finance Administration (“FHFA”) acting as their conservator, since 2008. The entities are dependent upon the continued support of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and FHFA in order to continue their business operations. These factors, among others, could affect the future status and role of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and the value of their securities and the securities that they guarantee. Additionally, the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market values of their securities, which may fluctuate. 
Valuation Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of its investments, in particular to the extent that its securities are fair valued. 
An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. As with any investment company, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. 
Performance
Because the Fund commenced operations on July 26, 2021, total return information is not yet available for a full calendar year. Financial information for the Fund from July 26, 2021 through June 30, 2021 is available in the “Financial Highlights” section of this prospectus. The performance information provided by the Fund in the future will give some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes against those of a broad measure of market performance. As with all mutual funds, the Fund’s past performance (both before and after taxes) does not predict the Fund’s future performance. Updated information about the Fund’s performance can be found by visiting the Fund’s website at www.impactetfs.org or by calling 844‑448‑3383 (844‑GIVE‑ETF).

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund. The Fund issues and redeems shares only to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor (“Authorized Participants”) in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities and/or cash) in large blocks, known as creation units, each of which comprises 50,000 shares or such other amount as may be changed from time to time in the future if determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund (“Creation Units”). Retail investors may only purchase and sell shares on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on market price, and because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).
Important Additional Information Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions that generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are a tax‑exempt investor or otherwise investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. If you are investing in the Fund through a tax‑advantaged arrangement, you may be taxed later upon withdrawals from that account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
DESCRIPTION OF UNDERLYING INDICES OF THE MINORITY ETF, THE WOMEN’S ETF AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS ETF
Additional information about Underlying Index construction for the Minority ETF, the Women’s ETF and the Sustainable Development Goals ETF is set forth below. The Minority ETF, the Women’s ETF and the Sustainable Development Goals ETF are sometimes referred to below individually as an “Equity ETF” and collectively as the “Equity ETFs”.
Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF
Morningstar® Minority Empowerment Index (for purposes of this section, the “Underlying Index”)
The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies from the Morningstar US Large‑Mid Cap® Index (the “Parent Index”), a free float market‑cap weighted index that constitutes 90% of the total market capitalization of the U.S. Market) that have strong minority empowerment practices. Morningstar constructs the Underlying Index using company level indicators, scores, and indicator relevance weighting from Sustainalytics, the Fund’s ESG research provider, that include certain social criteria identified and compiled by the NAACP (“NAACP” or the “Partner Nonprofit”) to measure the strength of minority empowerment practices and products or services for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Minority Empowerment Composite Score”). Based on that scoring, after excluding those companies that Sustainalytics determines (i) derive more than 5% of their revenues from predatory lending activities, (ii) derive more than 5% of their revenues from the production of tobacco products, (iii) are involved in the production of riot control weapons, (iv) operate correctional facilities or provide security services, (v) are primarily involved in the production of oil, gas or coal, (vi) are not compliant with the principles of the UN Global Compact1, or (vii) have a detrimental score for applicable controversies, the 200 best scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components.

The UN Global Compact is an arrangement by which companies voluntarily and publicly commit to a set of principles, known as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, all of which are drawn from key UN Conventions and Declarations, in four areas: (i) human rights; (ii) labor; (iii) environment; and (iv) anti-corruption.

The Underlying Index is constructed by Morningstar using an optimized weighting methodology. Under this methodology, Morningstar uses a quantitative process that is designed to determine optimal weights for securities to maximize exposure of companies with higher rankings as to minority empowerment practices, while maintaining an Underlying Index that exhibits risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Parent Index. The Index Provider determines the weighting of each security in the Underlying Index using the following variables: Minority Empowerment Composite Score, market capitalization, maximum and minimum weightings by security and sector. Underlying Index constituents are subject to a maximum 5% per company weighting.
The Underlying Index is expected to contain approximately 200 securities, but this number may change. If a company in the Underlying Index has acted in a manner inconsistent with the selection criteria of the Underlying Index, Morningstar may, in its discretion, after consulting with Sustainalytics, exclude the company from the Underlying Index between reconstitution periods. Morningstar may also make adjustments to the Underlying Index in accordance with its internal guidelines to reflect extraordinary corporate events (e.g. mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, insolvencies, and liquidations). The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly and reconstituted utilizing the rules-based methodology described above annually. Rebalancing refers to the process of adjusting the weights of the constituent securities in the Underlying Index in accordance with its optimized weighting methodology in response to changes in stock value and market capitalization.
Reconstitution refers to the process of changing the constituent securities in the Underlying Index so that securities that no longer meet the criteria for the Underlying Index are excluded and new securities that do meet those criteria are included.
The composition of the Underlying Index is based on the following social screens used in determining the Minority Empowerment Composite Score that narrows the Index Universe. Each of the social screens for the Minority Fund addresses an issue that has a history of NAACP support.
1. Board Diversity This indicator provides an assessment of the diversity of a company’s board of directors. Diversity of background can provide fresh perspectives in the boardroom and lead to better board decision-making.

The Morningstar® Women’s Empowerment Index (for purposes of this section, the “Underlying Index”)
The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies from the Morningstar US Large‑Mid Cap® Index (the “Parent Index”) that have strong women’s empowerment practices. The Parent Index is a free float market‑cap weighted index that constitutes 90% of the total market capitalization of the U.S. market. The Parent Index is an equity benchmark designed to comprehensively represent the performance of the companies incorporated and/or listed in the United States and contains large and mid‑capitalization equities and is designed with the following objectives in mind: (1) transparent and objective rules; (2) full investibility; and (3) low turnover. Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar” or the “Index Provider”) constructs the Underlying Index using company level indicators, scores, and indicator relevance weighting from Equileap, the Fund’s ESG research provider2. The YWCA USA (“YWCA” or the “Partner Nonprofit”) has reviewed and approved the use of Equileap’s social screens (through the use of the Underlying Index) to measure the strength of women’s empowerment practices and products or services for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Gender Diversity Score”). After excluding those companies that Equileap determines are (i) involved in the weapons, gambling, or tobacco industries, (ii) on the Norwegian Ethics Council List3 or (iii) that have experienced an applicable legal controversy, the 200 best scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components.

The Morningstar® Societal Development Index (for purposes of this section, the “Underlying Index”)
The Underlying Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology to select companies with specific characteristics (described below) from the Parent Index. The Parent Index is a free-float market‑cap weighted index composed of the equity securities of publicly-traded companies encompassing the top 97% of stocks by market capitalization across 46 countries including both developed and emerging markets. To be eligible for inclusion in the Parent Index, companies must meet specific trading frequency, U.S. Dollar trading volume and turnover, and free-float market capitalization requirements. The Underlying Index provides exposure to both developed and emerging markets.

that include certain social criteria identified by the United Nations Capital Development Fund (“UNCDF” or the “Partner Nonprofit”), to measure (i) commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals4, (ii) adherence to the principles of the UN Global Compact5, (iii) commitment to reducing poverty and supporting economic development globally and (iv) exposure to countries with low levels of socioeconomic development for each company within the Parent Index (a company’s “Societal Development Score”). Morningstar determines a company’s exposure to countries with low levels of socioeconomic development using a quantitative scale based on the percentage of a company’s revenue identified as coming from countries defined as “low income” or “lower middle income” by the World Bank or as a “Least Developed Country” by the United Nations, excluding countries that are classified as developed or emerging by Morningstar Indexes, and increases the company’s Societal Development Score accordingly. In addition to the Societal Development Score, Sustainalytics assigns each company an “Overall ESG Score” which reflects its assessment of a company’s overall ESG preparedness and performance relative to other companies in the same global industry peer group. The Overall ESG Score is comprised of a company’s numerical scores for environmental, social and governance criteria as determined according to Sustainalytics’ proprietary methodology. After excluding those companies that Sustainalytics determines (i) have products involved in the following activities: adult entertainment, alcoholic beverages, controversial weapons, gambling, military contracting weapons, nuclear energy and small arms, or tobacco, (ii) have a detrimental controversy score for incidents related to a company involving one or more of the following matters: business ethics, governance, public policy, employee relations, social supply chain, society and community, operations, or environmental supply chain, (iii) are not compliant with the principles of the UN Global Compact, or (iv) have a below average Overall ESG Score relative to its global industry peers; the 200 highest scoring companies (after applying the optimized weighting methodology discussed below) are selected by Morningstar as the final underlying index components. The Underlying Index is constructed by Morningstar using an optimized free-float market cap weighting methodology. Under this methodology, Morningstar uses a quantitative process that is designed to determine optimal weights for securities to maximize exposure to companies with higher rankings as to global economic development, while maintaining an Underlying Index that exhibits risk and return characteristics similar to those of the Parent Index.

of changing the constituent securities in the Underlying Index so that securities that no longer meet the criteria for the Underlying Index are excluded and new securities that do meet those criteria are included.
The composition of the Underlying Index is based on thirty‑two separate social indicators used in determining the Societal Development Score that narrows the universe of companies included in the Parent Index. Each of these social indicators addresses an issue that has historically been important to the UNCDF and falls within one of the following five groups:

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENTS OF THE EQUITY ETFS
The following is a description of principal investment practices in which each Equity ETF may engage. Any references to investments made by a Fund include those that may be made both directly by the Equity ETF and indirectly by the Equity ETF (e.g., through its investments in derivatives (if applicable) or other pooled investment vehicles). Please see “Principal Risks” below for the risks associated with each of the principal investment practices.
Please see the “Principal Investment Strategies” section under “Fund Summary” above for a complete discussion of each Equity ETF’s principal investment strategies. The Equity ETFs may invest in various types of securities and engage in various investment techniques which are not the principal focus of an Equity ETF and therefore are not described in this Prospectus. These securities, techniques and practices, together with their risks, are described in the Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”), which you may obtain free of charge by contacting shareholder services (see the back cover of this Prospectus for the address and phone number). The Adviser seeks to track the performance of each Equity ETF’s Underlying Index as closely as possible (i.e., obtain a high degree of correlation with the Underlying Index). A number of factors may affect an Equity ETF’s ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its Underlying Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Equity ETF will achieve a high degree of correlation with its Index. The Adviser will utilize a sampling strategy in managing each Equity ETF. Sampling means that the Adviser uses quantitative analysis to select securities, including securities in each Underlying Index, outside of each Underlying Index that have a similar investment profile as each Underlying Index in terms of key risk factors, performance attributes and other economic characteristics. These include industry weightings, market capitalization, and other financial characteristics of securities. The quantity of holdings in an Equity ETF will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of each Equity ETF. In addition, from time to time, securities are added to or removed from each Underlying Index. The Adviser may sell securities that are represented in an Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in each Underlying Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to an Index. Further, the Adviser may choose to overweight securities in each Underlying Index, purchase or sell securities not in an Index, or utilize various combinations of other available techniques, in seeking to track each Underlying Index. The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) may change an Equity ETF’s investment strategy, Underlying Index and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated in this Prospectus or in the SAI. The Board may also change a Fund’s investment objective without shareholder approval.
Each Equity ETF is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the 1940 Act, but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to RICs under the Code. An Equity ETF is not intended to be a complete investment program.
The Board may change the Equity ETF’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated in this Prospectus or in the SAI. The Board may also change the Fund’s investment objective without shareholder approval.

NON‑PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES OF THE EQUITY ETFS
Additional Information. The foregoing percentage limitations in an Equity ETF’s investment strategies apply at the time of purchase of securities. The Board may change any of the foregoing investment policies, including the investment objective, the Underlying Index and the 80% investment policy, without shareholder approval. An Equity ETF will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to committing less than 80% of its total assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, under normal circumstances, in component securities of an Equity ETF’s Underlying Index. For example, if an Equity ETF’s Underlying Index is discontinued by its Index Provider, the license agreement for the Underlying Index is terminated by the Index Provider or the Board determines that it would not be beneficial to shareholders for the Equity ETF to continue operations using the Underlying Index, the Board may change the Underlying Index as described in the “Investment Restrictions” section of the Funds’ SAI.
If an Equity ETF’s shares are delisted, the Board may seek to list its shares on another exchange, merge with another ETF or traditional mutual fund or redeem its shares at NAV.
Borrowing Money. An Equity ETF may borrow money from a bank as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other regulatory agency with authority over the Equity ETF, but only for temporary or emergency purposes. An Equity ETF may also invest in reverse repurchase agreements, which are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. Although the 1940 Act presently allows each Equity ETF to borrow from any bank (including pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating assets) in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (not including temporary borrowings not in excess of 5% of its total assets), and there is no percentage limit on Equity ETF assets that can be used in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, under normal circumstances any borrowings by an Equity ETF will not exceed 10% of such Equity ETF’s total assets.
Lending of Securities. An Equity ETF may lend its portfolio securities in an amount not to exceed one‑quarter (25%) of the value of its total assets via a securities lending program through its securities lending agent (“Lending Agent”), to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions desiring to borrow securities to complete transactions and for other purposes. A securities lending program allows an Equity ETF to receive a portion of the income generated by lending its securities and investing the respective collateral. An Equity ETF will receive collateral for each loaned security which is at least equal to 102% of the market value of that security, marked to market each trading day. In the securities lending program, the borrower generally has the right to vote the loaned securities; however, the Equity ETF may call loans to vote proxies if a material issue affecting the Equity ETF’s economic interest in the investment is to be voted upon. Security loans may be terminated at any time by an Equity ETF.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT PRACTICES OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ETF
The following is a description of principal investment practices in which the Affordable Housing ETF may engage. Any references to investments made by the Affordable Housing ETF include those that may be made both directly by the Affordable Housing ETF and indirectly by the Affordable Housing ETF (e.g., through its investments in derivatives (if applicable) or other pooled investment vehicles). Please see “Description of Risks” below for the risks associated with each of the principal investment practices.
Under normal circumstances, the Affordable Housing ETF will invest at least 80% of its net assets in mortgage-backed securities backed by pools of mortgage loans that the Affordable Housing ETF’s Sub‑Adviser believes were made to minority families, low‑income families, and/or families that live in persistent poverty areas. These loans include home loans in census tracts where more than 50% of the population is non‑white and at least 40% of the population is living at or below the poverty line (defined as a racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty or “R/ECAP”); loans in counties where, for more than 20 years, 20% or more of
 
53

the population has lived in poverty (defined as a persistent poverty county or “PPC”); and loans to minority borrowers or loans originated in a census tract where more than 50% of the population is a minority (also referred to as a majority-minority census tract. At least 51% of the loans underlying the mortgage-backed securities in which the Affordable Housing ETF invests will have been made to low‑ and moderate-income borrowers. The Affordable Housing ETF may also invest in mortgage-backed securities backed by pools of loans sourced from non‑traditional originators including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) and minority-owned banks.
The mortgage-backed securities in which the Affordable Housing ETF invests are issued and/or guaranteed by government- sponsored enterprises (each a “GSE”), such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or the Federal Home Loan Bank (“Freddie Mac”) and are therefore rated investment grade. To create the mortgage-backed securities in which the Affordable Housing ETF invests, these GSEs securitize pools of mortgage loans and each mortgage loan in the pool must meet the conforming underwriting standards of the relevant agency. While securities issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are solely the obligation of the issuer and generally do not carry any guarantee from the U.S. government.
Using a proprietary algorithm, the Sub‑Adviser screens mortgage origination tapes that provide addresses, income, and debt levels of borrowers and in certain cases demographic information (such as gender, race and ethnicity data) to identify loans that are made to low‑ and moderate-income families and minorities. A “low‑income borrower” is a person whose total annual income is 50% or less of the area median income (“AMI”) or average income for the community where they live. A “moderate-income borrower” is person whose total annual income is above 50% but less than 80% of the AMI or average income for the community where they live. The Sub‑Adviser will designate a borrower as living in a persistent poverty area if the borrower’s address is located in one of the Federally designated persistent poverty counties, which are defined as counties where 20% or more of the population lives in poverty as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, the Sub‑Adviser assesses the loan‑to‑value and FICO scores of borrowers before selecting a mortgage for inclusion in the pools underlying the mortgage-backed securities for the Affordable Housing ETF’s portfolio. When making investment decisions, the Sub‑Adviser will consider coupon payments of the qualifying mortgage-backed security pools to manage the prepayment and/or extension risk of the Affordable Housing ETF’s portfolio.
The Affordable Housing ETF is a non‑diversified fund as defined in the 1940 Act, but intends to adhere to the diversification requirements applicable to RICs under the Code. The Affordable Housing ETF is not intended to be a complete investment program.
The Board may change the Affordable Housing ETF’s investment strategy and other policies without shareholder approval, except as otherwise indicated in this Prospectus or in the SAI. The Board may also change the Fund’s investment objective without shareholder approval.
NON‑PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ETF
Additional Information. The foregoing percentage limitations in the Affordable Housing ETF’s investment strategies apply at the time of purchase of securities. The Board may change any of the foregoing investment policies, including the investment objective and the 80% investment policy, without shareholder approval. The Affordable Housing ETF will provide shareholders with written notice at least 60 days prior to committing less than 80% of its total assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, under normal circumstances, in mortgage-backed bonds other than those described above under “Description of Principal Investments”.
If the Affordable Housing ETF’s shares are delisted, the Board may seek to list its shares on another exchange, merge with another ETF or traditional mutual fund or redeem its shares at NAV.
 
54

Borrowing Money. The Affordable Housing ETF may borrow money from a bank as permitted by the 1940 Act, or other governing statute, by the Rules thereunder, or by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or other regulatory agency with authority over the Affordable Housing ETF, but only for temporary or emergency purposes. The Affordable Housing ETF may also invest in reverse repurchase agreements, which are considered borrowings under the 1940 Act. Although the 1940 Act presently allows the Affordable Housing ETF to borrow from any bank (including pledging, mortgaging or hypothecating assets) in an amount up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (not including temporary borrowings not in excess of 5% of its total assets), and there is no percentage limit on Affordable Housing ETF assets that can be used in connection with reverse repurchase agreements, under normal circumstances any borrowings by the Affordable Housing ETF will not exceed 10% of the Affordable Housing ETF’s total assets.
Temporary Defensive Strategies. When the Adviser or sub‑adviser anticipates unusual market, economic, political, or other conditions, the Affordable Housing ETF may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies as a defensive measure. In such circumstances, the Affordable Housing ETF may invest in securities believed to present less risk, such as cash, cash equivalents, money market fund shares and other money market instruments, debt securities that are high quality or higher quality than normal, more liquid securities, or others. While the Affordable Housing ETF invests defensively, it may not achieve its investment objective. An Affordable Housing ETF’s defensive investment position may not be effective in protecting its value. It is impossible to predict accurately how long such alternative strategies may be utilized.
DESCRIPTION OF RISKS
Factors that may affect a Fund’s portfolio as a whole are called “principal risks” and are summarized in this section. This summary describes the nature of these principal risks and certain related risks, but is not intended to include every potential risk. The Funds could be subject to additional risks because the types of investments each makes may change over time. The SAI includes more information about the Funds and their investments. The Funds are not intended to be a complete investment program.
Active Investment Management Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). The Fund is actively managed. The Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, relative value, or potential appreciation of a particular sector, security or investment strategy may prove to be incorrect, and may cause the Fund to incur losses. There can be no assurance that the Adviser’s investment techniques and decisions will produce the desired results. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.
Asset Class Risk (All Funds). The securities in an Underlying Index or in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform the returns of other securities or indices that track other countries, regions, industries, groups of industries, markets, asset classes or sectors. Various types of securities or indices tend to experience cycles of outperformance and underperformance in comparison to general securities markets.
Brexit (Sustainable Development Goals ETF only). In June 2016, the United Kingdom approved a referendum to leave the European Union (commonly known as “Brexit”). On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom left the European Union and, during a transition period that ended on December 31, 2020, negotiated an agreement that governs the terms of the ongoing relationship between United Kingdom and the European Union. At present the long term political and economic consequences of Brexit are uncertain. Given the size and importance of the United Kingdom’s economy, uncertainty about its legal, political, and economic relationship with the remaining member states of the European Union may continue to be a source of instability. Moreover, other countries may seek to withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the euro, the common currency of the European Union. The ultimate effects of these events and other socio-political or geopolitical issues are not known but could profoundly affect global economies and markets. Whether or not a Fund invests in securities of issuers located in Europe or with significant exposure to European issuers or countries, these events could negatively affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments.
 
55

Call Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Some debt securities may be redeemed, or “called,” at the option of the issuer before their stated maturity date. In general, an issuer will call its debt securities if they can be refinanced by issuing new debt securities which bear a lower interest rate. The Fund is subject to the possibility that during periods of falling interest rates an issuer will call its high yielding debt securities. The Fund would then be forced to invest the proceeds at lower interest rates, likely resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.
Cash Transaction Risk (All Funds). The Funds can effect creations and redemptions principally for cash, rather than for in‑kind securities. ETFs generally are able to make in‑kind redemptions and avoid being taxed on gain on the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. Because the Funds currently can effect redemptions for cash, rather than for in‑kind securities, they may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. The Funds may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have been incurred if the Funds had made a redemption in‑kind, and this may decrease the tax efficiency of the Funds compared to ETFs that utilize an in‑kind redemption process and may also result in higher brokerage costs.
Counterparty Risk (All Funds). The Funds may engage in transactions in securities and financial instruments that involve counterparties. Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty (the other party to a transaction or an agreement or the party with whom a Fund executes transactions) to a transaction with a Fund may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest, settlement or margin payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the affected Fund’s income or the value of its assets may decrease. A Fund may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding and a Fund may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances. In an attempt to limit the counterparty risk associated with such transactions, the Funds conduct business only with financial institutions judged by the Adviser to present acceptable credit risk. These risks may be greater when engaging in over‑the‑counter transactions or when the Fund conducts business with a limited number of counterparties.
Credit Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). An issuer or other obligated party of a debt security may be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and/or principal payments when due. In addition, the value of a debt security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or unwillingness to make such payments. In certain cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal or could fail to pay its financial obligations altogether.
Derivatives Risk (All Funds). Derivatives Risk is a combination of several risks, including the risks that: (1) an investment in a derivative instrument may not correlate well with the performance of the securities or asset class to which the Funds seek exposure, (2) derivative contracts, including options, may expire worthless and the use of derivatives may result in losses to a Fund, (3) a derivative instrument entailing leverage may result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested, (4) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to credit risk, for example, if the counterparty does not meet its obligations (see also “Counterparty Risk”), and (5) derivatives not traded on an exchange may be subject to liquidity risk and the related risk that the instrument is difficult or impossible to value accurately. As a general matter, when a Fund establishes certain derivative instrument positions, such as certain futures and options contract positions, it will segregate liquid assets (such as cash, U.S. Treasury bonds or commercial paper) equivalent to a Fund’s outstanding obligations under the contract or in connection with the position.
Emerging Markets Risk (Sustainable Development Goals ETF only). Investing in issuers located in or tied economically to emerging markets is subject to the same risks as foreign market investments, generally to a greater extent. A Fund will be subject to these risks to an even greater extent, to the extent a Fund invests in issuers exposed to countries defined as “low income” or “lower middle income” by the World Bank or as a “Least Developed Country” by the United Nations. These countries typically confront severe structural impediments to sustainable development and are highly vulnerable to economic and environmental shocks and
 
56

have low levels of human assets. Emerging markets may have additional risks including greater fluctuations in market values and currency exchange rates; increased risk of default; greater social, economic, and political uncertainty and instability; increased risk of nationalization, expropriation, or other confiscation of assets of issuers to which a Fund may be exposed; increased risk of embargoes or economic sanctions on a country, sector, or issuer; greater governmental involvement in the economy; less governmental supervision and regulation of the securities markets and participants in those markets; controls on non‑U.S. investment, capital controls and limitations on repatriation of invested capital, dividends, interest, and other income, and on a Fund’s ability to exchange local currencies for U.S. dollars; lower levels of liquidity; inability to purchase and sell investments or otherwise settle transactions; greater risk of issues with share registration and safe custody; unavailability of currency hedging techniques; differences in, or lack of, auditing and financial reporting standards and resulting unavailability of material information about issuers; slower clearance and longer settlement; and difficulties in obtaining and/or enforcing legal judgments. Additionally, a foreign issuer is not generally subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.
Equity Investing Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). The market prices of equity securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons that may directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, non‑compliance with regulatory requirements, and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services. The values of equity securities also may decline due to general industry or market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. In addition, equity markets tend to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to fall over short or extended periods of time.
Ethnic Diversity Risk (Minority ETF only). The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not ethnically diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not ethnically diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are ethnically diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk (All Funds). The value of ETFs can be expected to increase and decrease in value in proportion to increases and decreases in the indices that they are designed to track. The volatility of different index tracking stocks can be expected to vary in proportion to the volatility of the particular index they track. ETFs are traded similarly to stocks of individual companies. Although an ETF is designed to provide investment performance corresponding to its index, it may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of its index because of its operating expenses and other factors. An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange-traded) that has the same investment objective, strategies, and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate within a wide range, and a Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs are subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (1) the market price of the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount or a premium to their net asset value; (2) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; and (3) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted by the activation of individual or market wide “circuit breakers” (which halt trading for a specific period of time when the price of a particular security or overall market prices decline by a specified percentage), if the shares are delisted from the Exchange without first being listed on another exchange, or if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate in the interest of a fair and orderly market or to protect investors. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of a Fund’s expenses and similar expenses of the
 
57

underlying investment company when such Fund invests in shares of another investment company. Most ETFs are investment companies. Therefore, a Fund’s purchases of ETF shares generally are subject to the limitations on, and the risks of, such Fund’s investments in other investment companies.
Extension Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the issuer (or other obligated party) more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these debt securities to fall. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of debt securities, making their market value more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The value of longer-term debt securities generally changes more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term debt securities. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, securities may exhibit additional volatility and may lose value.
Fee Risk (All Funds). Because the fees paid by a Fund to Impact Shares are based on the average daily value of the total assets of such Fund, less all accrued liabilities of such Fund (other than the amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage), Impact Shares has a financial incentive to cause the Funds to utilize leverage, which creates a conflict of interest between Impact Shares, on the one hand, and the shareholders of the Funds, on the other hand.
Foreign Securities Risk (Sustainable Development Goals ETF only). Investments in securities of non‑U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments (for example, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (for non‑U.S. securities not denominated in U.S. dollars); future foreign economic, financial, political and social developments; nationalization; exploration or confiscatory taxation; smaller markets; different trading and settlement practices; less governmental supervision; and different accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements) that may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. These risks are magnified for investments in issuers tied economically to emerging markets, the economies of which tend to be more volatile than the economies of developed markets. In addition, investments by the Fund in non‑U.S. securities may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries on dividends, interest, capital gains, or other income or proceeds. Those taxes will reduce the Fund’s yield on any such securities.
Futures Contracts Risk (All Funds). Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of an underlying asset at a price, date and time specified when the contract is made. Funds, such as the Funds, that use futures contracts, which are a type of derivative, are subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain futures contracts. The Funds currently do not use or intend to use derivatives and have adopted a policy prohibiting the use of derivatives. If the Board deems it advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of the Funds, the Funds may change this policy in the future and allow derivatives transactions undertaken in compliance with the new SEC rules.
Geographic Risk (Sustainable Development Goals ETF only). To the extent the Fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a large percentage of the Fund’s assets, the Fund will be subject to the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and the Fund’s shares may be subject to increased price volatility.
Gender Diversity Risk (Women’s ETF only). The returns on a portfolio of securities that excludes companies that are not gender diverse may trail the returns on a portfolio of securities that includes companies that are not gender diverse. Investing only in a portfolio of securities that are gender diverse may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain types of investments and may adversely impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor in the market.
 
58

Illiquid Securities Risk (All Funds). Illiquid investments may be difficult to resell at approximately the price they are valued in the ordinary course of business within seven days. When investments cannot be sold readily at the desired time or price, a Fund may have to accept a much lower price, may not be able to sell the investment at all or may be forced to forego other investment opportunities, all of which may adversely impact a Fund’s returns. Illiquid investments also may be subject to valuation risk.
Income Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). The Fund’s income may decline when interest rates fall or if there are defaults in the mortgage loans underling the securities in its portfolio. This decline can occur because the Fund may subsequently invest in lower-yielding securities as debt securities in its portfolio mature, are near maturity or are called, or the Fund otherwise needs to purchase additional debt securities
Index Performance Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). Each Fund seeks to track an index maintained by a third party provider unaffiliated with the Funds or the Adviser. There can be no guarantee or assurance that the methodology used by the third party provider to create the index will result in the Funds achieving high, or even positive, returns. Further, there can be no guarantee that the methodology underlying the index or the daily calculation of the index will be free from error. It is also possible that the value of the index may be subject to intentional manipulation by third-party market participants. The particular indices used by the Funds may underperform other asset classes and may underperform other similar indices. Each of these factors could have a negative impact on the performance of the Funds.
Industry Concentration Risk (All Funds). Because a Fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its assets in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries, a Fund’s performance may depend to a large extent on the overall condition of such industry or group of industries and a Fund may be susceptible to economic, political and regulatory risks or other occurrences associated with that industry or group of industries. The performance of a Fund if it invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular sector or industry may be closely tied to the performance of companies in a limited number of sectors or industries. Companies in a single sector often share common characteristics, are faced with the same obstacles, issues and regulatory burdens and their securities may react similarly to adverse market conditions. The price movements of investments in a particular sector or industry may be more volatile than the price movements of more broadly diversified investments.
Inflation Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline.
Intellectual Property Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). The Funds rely on licenses that permit the Adviser to use the Underlying Indices and associated trade names, trademarks and service marks, as well as the Partner Nonprofits’ names and logos (the “Intellectual Property”) in connection with the investment strategies of each respective Fund and/or in marketing and other materials for each Fund. Such licenses may be terminated, and, as a result, the relevant Fund may lose its ability to use the Intellectual Property. In the event a license is terminated or the license provider does not have rights to license the Intellectual Property, the operations of such Fund may be adversely affected.
Interest Rate Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising market interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter term debt securities and higher for longer-term debt securities. Duration is a reasonably accurate measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates and a common measure of interest rate risk. Duration measures a debt security’s expected life on a present value basis, taking into account the debt security’s yield, interest payments and final maturity. In general, duration represents the expected percentage change in the value of a security for an immediate 1% change in interest rates. For example, the price of a debt security with a three-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Therefore, prices of debt securities with shorter durations tend to be
 
59

less sensitive to interest rate changes than debt securities with longer durations. As the value of a debt security changes over time, so will its duration. As of the date of this Prospectus, the United States is experiencing a rising market interest rate environment, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to risks associated with rising market interest rates. Rising market interest rates have unpredictable effects on the markets and may expose fixed-income and related markets to heightened volatility. To the extent that the Fund invests in fixed-income securities, an increase in market interest rates may lead to increased redemptions and increased portfolio turnover, which could reduce liquidity for certain investments, adversely affect values, and increase costs. Increased redemptions may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so and may lower returns. If dealer capacity in fixed-income markets is insufficient for market conditions, it may further inhibit liquidity and increase volatility in the fixed-income markets. Further, recent and potential future changes in government policy may affect interest rates.
Liquidity Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). The Fund may hold certain investments that may trade over‑the‑counter or in limited volume or lack an active trading market. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to sell or close out of such investments at favorable times or prices (or at all), or at the prices approximating those at which the Fund currently values them. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments and may be subject to wide fluctuations in market value. The prices of illiquid securities may be more volatile than more liquid investments. The risks associated with illiquid securities may be greater in times of financial stress.
Limited Fund Size Risk (All Funds). The Funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve or maximize investment and operational efficiencies and remain viable. If a Fund fails to achieve sufficient scale, it may be liquidated.
Management Risk (All Funds). Management risk is the risk associated with the fact that the Funds rely on the Adviser’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser is a non‑profit organization with limited personnel and financial resources. The relative lack of resources may increase the Funds’ management risk.
Market Price Variance Risk (All Funds). Each Fund’s shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and are bought and sold in the secondary market at prevailing market prices. The market prices of shares will fluctuate in response to changes in the NAV of a Fund and supply and demand for shares. As a result, the trading prices of shares may deviate significantly from NAV of a Fund during periods of market volatility. Differences between secondary market prices and the net asset value (“ NAV”) of a Fund may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the secondary market, which may not be the same forces as those influencing prices for securities held by a Fund at a particular time. The Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade above, below or at their NAV. Given the fact that shares can be created and redeemed in creation units, the Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained in the long-term. There may be times when the market price of a Fund’s shares and such Funds’ NAV vary significantly and you may pay more than such Funds’ NAV when buying shares on the secondary market, and you may receive less than such Fund’s NAV when you sell those shares. While the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it likely that shares normally will trade close to a Fund’s NAV, disruptions to creations and redemptions may result in trading prices that differ significantly from a Fund’s NAV. The market price of shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a “bid‑ask spread” charged by the exchange specialist, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. In addition, the securities held by a Fund may be traded in markets that close at a different time than the Exchange. Liquidity in those securities may be reduced after the applicable closing times. Accordingly, during the time when the Exchange is open but after the applicable market closing, fixing or settlement times, bid‑ask spreads and the resulting premium or discount to shares’ NAV may widen. Further, secondary markets may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods, which could cause a material decline in a Fund’s NAV. In times of market stress, market makers and authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in a Fund’s shares or in executing purchase and redemption orders, which could lead to variances
 
60

between the market price of such Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for a Fund’s shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity of such Fund’s portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of such Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares. During periods of high market volatility, a Fund share may trade at a significant discount to its NAV, and in these circumstances certain types of brokerage orders may expose an investor to an increased risk of loss. A “stop order,” sometimes called a “stop-loss order,” may cause a Fund share to be sold at the next prevailing market price once the “stop” level is reached, which during a period of high volatility can be at a price that is substantially below NAV. By including a “limit” criteria with your brokerage order, you may be able to limit the size of the loss resulting from the execution of an ill‑timed stop order. The Funds’ shares may be listed or traded on U.S. and non‑U.S. stock exchanges other than the U.S. stock exchange where the Funds’ primary listing is maintained, and may otherwise be made available to non‑U.S. investors through funds or structured investment vehicles similar to depositary receipts. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s shares will continue to trade on any such stock exchange or in any market or that a Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on any exchange or in any market. A Fund’s shares may be less actively traded in certain markets than in others, and investors are subject to the execution and settlement risks and market standards of the market where they or their broker direct their trades for execution. Certain information available to investors who trade a Fund’s shares on a U.S. stock exchange during regular U.S. market hours may not be available to investors who trade in other markets, which may result in secondary market prices in such markets being less efficient.
A Fund’s investment results are measured based upon the daily NAV of such Fund. Investors purchasing and selling shares in the secondary market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those purchasing and redeeming directly with the Fund.
Mid‑Cap Company Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). Investing in securities of mid‑cap companies may entail greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid‑cap companies tend to have more narrow product lines, more limited financial resources and a more limited trading market for their stocks, as compared with larger companies. As a result, their stock prices may decline significantly as market conditions change.
Mortgage-Related Securities Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Mortgage-related securities are subject to the same risks as investments in other types of debt securities, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and valuation risk. However, these investments make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory events that affect the value of real estate. Mortgage-related securities are also significantly affected by the rate of prepayments and modifications of the mortgage loans underlying those securities, as well as by other factors such as borrower defaults, delinquencies, realized or liquidation losses and other shortfalls. Mortgage-related securities are particularly sensitive to prepayment risk, given that the term to maturity for mortgage loans is generally substantially longer than the expected lives of those securities. As the timing and amount of prepayments cannot be accurately predicted, the timing of changes in the rate of prepayments of the mortgage loans may significantly affect the Fund’s actual yield to maturity on any mortgage-related securities. Along with prepayment risk, mortgage-related securities are significantly affected by interest rate risk.
Non‑Diversification Risk (All Funds). Due to the nature of the Funds’ investment strategies and their non‑diversified status (for purposes of the 1940 Act), the Funds may invest a greater percentage of their respective assets in the securities of fewer issuers than a “diversified” fund, and accordingly may be more vulnerable to changes in the value of those issuers’ securities. Since the Funds invest in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the Funds are particularly exposed to adverse developments affecting those issuers, and a decline in the market value of a particular security held by a Fund is likely to affect such Fund’s performance more than if such Fund invested in the securities of a larger number of issuers. Although the Funds will be “non‑diversified” for purposes of the 1940 Act, the Funds intend to comply with the diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Code in order to be eligible to qualify as a regulated investment company.
 
61

Operational and Technology Risk (All Funds). The Funds, their service providers, index providers, Authorized Participants, market makers and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. These systems are subject to a number of different threats or risks that could adversely affect the Funds and their shareholders, despite the efforts of the Adviser, the Funds and their service providers to adopt technologies, processes, and practices intended to mitigate these risks. For example, unauthorized third parties may attempt to improperly access, modify, disrupt the operations of, or prevent access to these systems of the Funds, the Funds’ service providers, counterparties, or other market participants or data within them (a “cyber-attack”). Power or communications outages, acts of god, information technology equipment malfunctions, operational errors, and inaccuracies within software or data processing systems may also disrupt business operations or impact critical data. Market events also may trigger a volume of transactions that overloads current information technology and communication systems and processes, impacting the ability to conduct the Funds’ operations. Cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures that affect the Funds’ service providers or counterparties may adversely affect the Funds and their shareholders, including by causing losses for the Funds or impairing the Funds’ operations. For example, the Funds or their service providers’ assets or sensitive or confidential information may be misappropriated, data may be corrupted, and operations may be disrupted (e.g., cyber-attacks or operational failures may cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact the ability to calculate each Fund’s NAV, and impede trading). In addition, cyber-attacks, disruptions, or failures may cause reputational damage and subject the Funds or their service providers to regulatory fines, litigation costs, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs. While the Funds and their service providers may establish business continuity and other plans and processes to address the possibility of cyberattacks, disruptions, or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including that they do not apply to third parties, such as other market participants, as well as the possibility that certain risks have not been identified or that unknown threats may emerge in the future. Similar types of operational and technology risks are also present for issuers of the Funds’ investments, which could have material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Funds’ investments to lose value. In addition, cyber-attacks involving a Fund’s counterparties could affect such counterparty’s ability to meet its obligations to such Fund, which may result in losses to such Fund and its shareholders. Furthermore, as a result of cyber-attacks, disruptions or failures, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities or the entire market, which may result in the Funds being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or unable to accurately price its investments. The Funds cannot directly control any cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by their service providers, counterparties, issuers in which the Funds invest, or securities markets and exchanges, and such third parties may have limited indemnification obligations to the Adviser or the Funds, each of whom could be negatively impacted as a result.
Options Risk (All Funds). The use of options is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A transaction in options or securities may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. When a Fund writes a covered call option, such Fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but retains the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation and once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price. When a Fund writes a covered put option, such Fund bears the risk of loss if the value of the underlying stock declines below the exercise price minus the put premium. If the option is exercised, such Fund could incur a loss if it is required to purchase the stock underlying the put option at a price greater than the market price of the stock at the time of exercise plus the put premium the Fund received when it wrote the option. While a Fund’s potential gain in writing a covered put option is limited to distributions earned on the liquid assets securing the
 
62

put option plus the premium received from the purchaser of the put option, such Fund risks a loss equal to the entire exercise price of the option minus the put premium.
Passive Investment Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). The Funds are not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments included in the applicable Underlying Indices. The Funds invest in securities included in, or representative of, each Fund’s respective Underlying Index regardless of such securities’ investment merits. Each Fund will likely lose value to the extent that the applicable Underlying Index loses value. The Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions under any market conditions, including during declining markets.
Prepayment Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). Prepayment risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security will repay principal prior to the scheduled maturity date. Debt securities allowing prepayment may offer less potential for gains during a period of declining interest rates, as the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds of any prepayment at lower interest rates. These factors may cause the value of an investment in the Fund to change.
Securities Market Risk (All Funds). Securities market risk is the risk that the value of securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to factors affecting particular companies or the securities markets generally. The profitability of a Fund substantially depends upon the Adviser correctly assessing the future price movements of stocks, bonds, loans, options on stocks, and other securities and the movements of interest rates. The Adviser cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accurately predicting price movements. The market prices of equities may decline for reasons that directly relate to the issuing company (such as poor management performance or reduced demand for its goods or services), factors that affect a particular industry (such as a decline in demand, labor or raw material shortages, or increased production costs) or general market conditions not specifically related to a company or industry (such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally). In addition, the increasing popularity of passive index-based investing may have the potential to increase security price correlations and volatility. As passive strategies generally buy or sell securities based simply on inclusion and representation in an index, securities prices will have an increasing tendency to rise or fall based on whether money is flowing into or out of passive strategies rather than based on an analysis of the prospects and valuation of individual securities. This may result in increased market volatility as more money is invested through passive strategies. As a result of the nature of a Fund’s investment activities, it is possible that such Fund’s financial performance may fluctuate substantially from period to period. Additionally, at any point in time an investment in a Fund may be worth less than the original investment, even after taking into account the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.
Significant Exposure Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). To the extent that the Fund invests a large percentage of its assets in a single asset class or the securities of issuers within the same country, state, region, industry or sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund were more broadly diversified. A significant exposure makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than a fund that is more broadly diversified.
Small‑Cap Company Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). Investing in the securities of small‑cap companies either directly or indirectly through investments in ETFs, closed‑end funds or mutual funds may pose greater market and liquidity risks than larger, more established companies, because of limited product lines and/or operating history, limited financial resources, limited trading markets, and the potential lack of management depth. In addition, the securities of such companies are typically more volatile than securities of larger capitalization companies.
Specified Pools Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). The Fund is expected to primarily invest in specified pools of mortgage loans. This may cause the Fund to take longer to fully achieve its principal investment strategy
 
63

Swaps Risk (All Funds). The use of swaps is a highly specialized activity which involves investment techniques, risk analyses and tax planning different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. These transactions can result in sizeable realized and unrealized capital gains and losses relative to the gains and losses from a Fund’s direct investments in securities. Transactions in swaps can involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference assets directly since, in addition to general market risks, swaps may be leveraged and are also subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk, credit risk and pricing risk. However, certain risks may be reduced (but not eliminated) if a Fund invests in cleared swaps. Regulators also may impose limits on an entity’s or group of entities’ positions in certain swaps. Because bilateral swap agreements are two‑party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, these swaps may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, a Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. Many swaps are complex and valued subjectively. Swaps and other derivatives may also be subject to pricing or “basis” risk, which exists when the price of a particular derivative diverges from the price of corresponding cash market instruments. Under certain market conditions it may not be economically feasible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position in time to avoid a loss or take advantage of an opportunity. If a swap transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result insignificant losses. The value of swaps can be very volatile, and a variance in the degree of volatility or in the direction of securities prices from the Adviser’s expectations may produce significant losses in a Fund’s investments in swaps. In addition, a perfect correlation between a swap and a reference asset may be impossible to achieve. As a result, the Adviser’s use of swaps may not be effective in fulfilling the investment adviser’s investment strategies and may contribute to losses that would not have been incurred otherwise. Certain separately managed accounts (“SMAs”) that are designed to track the performance of an index may serve as the underlying reference asset for total return swaps used by the Funds (“SMA Total Return Swaps”). This investment technique provides a Fund with synthetic long investment exposure to the performance of the index the SMAs seek to track, and thus, any underlying SMAs, through payments made by a swap counterparty to such Fund that reflect the positive total return, net of fees of the SMA, which may be netted against the payment of transaction fees. In exchange, such Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty under the swap based on certain upfront and/or monthly transaction fees as well as payments reflecting any negative total return on the SMA. The swap generally provides a Fund with the economic equivalent of ownership of the portfolio of the SMA through an entitlement to receive any gains realized by the SMA and an obligation to pay any losses realized by the SMA, which may be netted against the financing expenses of the swap. This investment technique is intended to provide the Funds with exposure to the performance of the SMA and, indirectly, the performance of the index the SMA is designed to track. The performance of an SMA Total Return Swap is subject to the performance and the risks of the index the SMA seeks to track, and ultimately, of the underlying SMA and its investment portfolio. If the performance of the SMA underlying the SMA Total Return Swap is negative or is not sufficiently positive to offset the periodic payment due to the counterparty, then the performance of the relevant Funds will be negatively impacted. Additionally, the performance of the underlying SMA may deviate from the performance of the index it is designed to track. To the extent that the SMA’s performance deviates from that of the relevant index, the performance of the SMA Total Return Swap, and in, turn, the performance of the relevant Fund, will deviate from the performance of the relevant index as well. The expenses paid by the underlying SMA holder (including fees paid on the basis of the performance of the underlying account manager) reduce the performance returns of the SMA’s investments and those expenses are embedded in the returns of the SMA Total Return Swap are based on the net returns of the SMA. The Funds’ use of SMA Total Return Swaps may also subject the Funds to the risks of leverage, to the extent utilized by the SMAs. The SEC recently adopted a rule under the 1940 Act regulating the use by registered investment companies of derivatives and many related instruments. That rule, among other things, restricts a Fund’s ability to engage in derivatives transactions or so increase the cost of derivatives transactions such that the Fund would be unable to implement its investment strategy. The Funds do not currently engage in derivative transactions and have adopted a policy prohibiting derivatives transactions. If the Board deems it advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of the Funds, the Funds may change this policy in the future and allow derivatives transactions undertaken in compliance with the new SEC rules.
 
64

Tracking Error Risk (All Funds except Affordable Housing ETF). Imperfect correlation between a Fund’s portfolio securities and those in the applicable Underlying Indices, rounding of prices, changes to the Underlying Indices and regulatory requirements may cause tracking error, which is the divergence of a Fund’s performance from that of its Underlying Index. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because a Fund incurs fees and expenses, while its Underlying Index does not. For example, a Fund incurs a number of operating expenses not applicable to its Underlying Index and incurs costs associated with buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing such Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index and raising cash to meet redemptions or deploying cash in connection with newly created creation units. Because a Fund bears the costs and risks associated with buying and selling securities while such costs are not factored into the return of its Underlying Index, such Fund’s returns may deviate significantly from the return of its Underlying Index. Because the Funds each employ a representative sampling strategy, the Funds may experience tracking error to a greater extent than funds that seeks to replicate an index. The Adviser may not be able to cause a Fund’s performance to correlate to that of such Fund’s benchmark, either on a daily or aggregate basis. Because the Underlying Index rebalances quarterly but a Fund is not obligated to do the same, the risk of tracking error may increase following the rebalancing of such Fund’s Underlying Index.
Trading Issues Risk (All Funds). Although the shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange’s “circuit breaker” rules. Market makers are under no obligation to make a market in the Fund’s shares, and authorized participants are not obligated to submit purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units. In the event market makers cease making a market in the Fund’s shares or authorized participants stop submitting purchase or redemption orders for Creation Units, Fund shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to their net asset value. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain
Transactions Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). The Fund may purchase securities via to‑be‑announced (“TBA” Transactions. In such a transaction, the purchase price of the securities is typically fixed at the time of the commitment, but delivery and payment can take place a month or more after the date of the commitment. At the time of delivery of the securities, the value may be more or less than the purchase or sale price. Purchasing securities in a TBA Transaction may give rise to investment leverage and may increase the Fund’s volatility. Default by, or bankruptcy of, a counterparty to a TBA Transaction would expose the Fund to possible losses because of an adverse market action, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the pools specified in such transaction.
U.S. Government Securities Risk (Affordable Housing ETF only). U.S. government securities are subject to interest rate risk but generally do not involve the credit risks associated with investments in other types of debt securities. As a result, the yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than the yields available from other debt securities. U.S. government securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and the payment of principal when held to maturity. While securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. federal government agencies (such as Ginnie Mae) are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, securities issued by government sponsored entities (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) are solely the obligation of the issuer and generally do not carry any guarantee from the U.S. government.
Obligations of U.S. government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities and sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, the maximum potential liability of the issuers of some of these securities may greatly exceed their current resources and no assurance can be given that the U.S. government would provide financial support to any of these entities if it were not obligated to do so by law.
 
65

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been operating under conservatorship, with the Federal Housing Finance Administration (“FHFA”) acting as their conservator, since 2008. The entities are dependent upon the continued support of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and FHFA in order to continue their business operations. These factors, among others, could affect the future status and role of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and the value of their securities and the securities that they guarantee. Additionally, the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market values of their securities, which may fluctuate.
Valuation Risk (All Funds). The Fund is subject to the risk of mispricing or improper valuation of its investments, in particular to the extent that its securities are fair valued.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) has overall management responsibility for the Funds. See “Management” in the SAI for the names of and other information about the Trustees and officers of the Funds.
Investment Adviser
Impact Shares, Corp. (“Impact Shares” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The address of the Adviser is 5950 Berkshire Lane, Suite 1420, Dallas, Texas 75225. Impact Shares provides the day‑to‑day management of each Fund’s portfolio of securities, which includes buying and selling securities for each Fund and conducting investment research. Additionally, Impact Shares furnishes offices, necessary facilities, equipment and personnel. Organized in February 2014, Impact Shares is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Impact Shares is an ETF sponsor and investment manager that is creating a platform for clients seeking maximum social impact with market returns. As of October 5, 2022, the Adviser had approximately $160,000,000 in assets under management.
Impact Shares’ goal is to build a capital markets bridge between leading nonprofits, investors and corporate America to direct capital and social engagement on societal priorities.
The Adviser is a tax‑exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). With respect to the Equity ETFs, the Adviser intends to make charitable contributions to an Equity ETF’s relevant Partner Nonprofit equal to the excess, if any, of Impact Shares’ fees with respect to the relevant Equity ETF over Impact Shares’ operating expenses and a reserve for working capital. The Adviser’s intent is to provide financial support to further the causes championed by each Partner Nonprofit. Due to the relatively small size of each Equity ETF, Impact Shares’ fees with respect to each Equity ETF have not yet exceeded its related operating expenses. Accordingly, Impact Shares has not yet made any charitable contributions from such fees. There can be no assurance that Impact Shares’ fees with respect to an Equity ETF will exceed operating expenses in the future. For additional information see “Partner Nonprofits,” below.
Sub‑Adviser to the Affordable Housing ETF
The Adviser has engaged a sub‑adviser, Community Capital Management, LLC. (“CCM” or the “Sub‑Adviser”) to provide the day‑to‑day management of the portfolio of the Affordable Housing ETF. The Sub‑Adviser is a registered investment adviser founded in November 1998, with headquarters at 2500 Weston Road, Suite 101, Weston, Florida 33331. The Sub‑Adviser was originally organized to provide investment advice to other registered investment trusts and separate accounts.

Investment Advisory Agreement for the Equity ETFs.
Each Equity ETF has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Impact Shares (the “Investment Advisory Agreements”), pursuant to which Impact Shares either provides the day‑to‑day management of the Equity ETF’s portfolio of securities, which includes buying and selling securities for each Equity ETF and conducting investment research, or hires a sub‑adviser to do so, subject to Impact Shares’ general oversight.
For the services provided to the Equity ETF under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Equity ETFs pay the Adviser an annual unitary fee, payable monthly, at the rate of 0.75% of the Equity ETF’s Average Daily Managed Assets (as defined below) in the case of the Women’s ETF and the Sustainable Development ETF and 0.49% of the Fund’s Average Daily Managed Assets in the case of the Minority ETF. “Average Daily Managed
 
67

Assets” of an Equity ETF means the average daily value of the total assets of such Equity ETF, less all accrued liabilities of such Equity ETF (other than the aggregate amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage). From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its fee, although it does not currently intend to do so. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Adviser is responsible for substantially all expenses of each Equity ETF, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services except for: (i) distribution and service fees payable pursuant to a Rule 12b‑1 plan, if any; (ii) taxes and governmental fees, if any, levied against a Equity ETF; (iii) brokerage fees and commissions, and other portfolio transaction expenses incurred by or for an Equity ETF; (iv) expenses of an Equity ETF’s securities lending (if any), including any securities lending agent fees, as governed by a separate securities lending agreement; costs, including interest expenses, of borrowing money or engaging in other types of leverage financing; (v) extraordinary expenses, including extraordinary legal expenses, as may arise, including, without limitation, expenses incurred in connection with litigation, proceedings, other claims, contractual arrangements with Partner Nonprofits and the legal obligations of an Equity ETF to indemnify its Trustees, officers, employees, shareholders, distributors, and agents with respect thereto; and (vi) expenses of an Equity ETF which are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any officer or employee of the Adviser or of any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser, who may also serve as officers, trustees or employees of the Trust shall not receive any compensation from the Trust for their services.
The Adviser has agreed to assume the Equity ETFs’ organization and offering costs. The Equity ETFs do not have an obligation to reimburse the Adviser for organization and offering costs paid on their behalf.
Each Equity ETF is a party to contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Equity ETF’s investment adviser, administrator, distributor, and shareholder servicing agent, who provide services to the Equity ETF. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (“third-party”) beneficiaries of, any such contractual arrangements, and such contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Equity ETF.
Investment Advisory Agreement for the Affordable Housing ETF
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Impact Shares (the “OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which Impact Shares either provides the day‑to‑day management of the Affordable Housing ETF’s portfolio of securities, which includes buying and selling securities for the Affordable Housing ETF and conducting investment research, or hires a sub‑adviser to do so, subject to Impact Shares’ general oversight. The Adviser has hired CCM to act as Sub‑Adviser to the Affordable Housing ETF.
For the services provided to the Affordable Housing ETF under the OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement, the Affordable Housing ETF pays the Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, at the rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s Average Daily Managed Assets (as defined below). “Average Daily Managed Assets” of the Affordable Housing ETF means the average daily value of the total assets of the Affordable Housing ETF, less all accrued liabilities of the Affordable Housing ETF (other than the aggregate amount of any outstanding borrowings constituting financial leverage). The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive all advisory fees payable by the Affordable Housing ETF under the OWN Investment Advisory Agreement in excess of 0.25% of the average daily managed net assets of the Affordable Housing ETF until the Affordable Housing ETF’s net assets are greater than $100 million. The Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under the OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement, except such expenses as are assumed by the Affordable Housing ETF and such expenses as are assumed by a sub‑adviser under its sub‑advisory agreement.
The Sub‑Adviser has agreed to assume the Affordable Housing ETF’s organization and offering costs. The Affordable Housing ETF does not have an obligation to reimburse the Sub‑Adviser for organization and offering costs paid on its behalf.

A discussion regarding the Board’s approval of the OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement for the Affordable Housing ETF is available in the Affordable Housing ETF’s annual report to shareholders. The OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated by the Affordable Housing ETF or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Affordable Housing ETF, without the payment of any penalty, on not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days written notice. In addition, the OWNS Investment Advisory Agreement automatically terminates in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).
The Affordable Housing ETF is a party to contractual arrangements with various parties, including, among others, the Affordable Housing ETF’s investment adviser, administrator, distributor, and shareholder servicing agent, who provide services to the Affordable Housing ETF. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (“third-party”) beneficiaries of, any such contractual arrangements, and such contractual arrangements are not intended to create in any individual shareholder or group of shareholders any right to enforce them against the service providers or to seek any remedy under them against the service providers, either directly or on behalf of the Affordable Housing ETF.
Sub‑Advisory Agreement for the Affordable Housing ETF
The Adviser has entered into a Sub‑advisory Agreement with CCM (the “Sub‑Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of the Sub‑Advisory Agreement, CCM acts as Sub‑Adviser to the Affordable Housing ETF. In such capacity, CCM, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board, provides the Affordable Housing ETF with portfolio management, investment research, advice, and supervision and shall furnish an investment program, consistent with the investment objective and policies of the Affordable Housing ETF. The Sub‑Adviser shall determine, from time to time, what securities shall be purchased for the Affordable Housing ETF, what securities shall be held or sold by the Affordable Housing ETF, and what portion of the Affordable Housing ETF’s assets shall be held uninvested in cash, subject always to the investment objective, policies, and restrictions of the Affordable Housing ETF, as each of the same from time to time shall be in effect. To carry out these obligations, the Sub‑Adviser can exercise full discretion and act for the Adviser in the same manner and with the same force and effect as the Adviser itself might or could do with respect to purchases, sales, or other transactions.
The Adviser pays the Sub‑Adviser, as compensation for the Sub‑Adviser’s services, a fee equal to 0.25% of the Affordable Housing ETF’s Average Daily Managed Assets. The Fund has no responsibility for any fee payable to the Sub‑Adviser.
Management Fees Paid
The following table shows the management fees that the Adviser received from each Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and the Fund’s contractual management fee:

     0.75
Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF
     0.75
Impact Shares Affordable Housing MBS ETF
     0.30
PARTNER NONPROFITS OF THE EQUITY ETFS
As discussed above, the Adviser intends to make charitable contributions to the Equity ETFs’ partner nonprofits (the “Partner Nonprofits”) equal to the excess, if any, of Impact Shares’ fees with respect to the
 
69

applicable Equity ETF over Impact Shares’ operating expenses (including the license fee referred to below) and a reserve for working capital. Each Partner Nonprofit, in its sole discretion, may use the license fee and any portion of the Adviser’s charitable contributions made directly to such Partner Nonprofit to support its own programs or may make its own donations to identified charitable organizations that support such Partner Nonprofit’s mission. Due to the relatively small size of each equity ETF Impact Shares’ fees with respect to each Equity ETF have not yet exceeded its related operating expenses. Accordingly, Impact Shares has not yet made any charitable contributions from such fees. There can be no assurance that Impact Shares’ fees with respect to an Equity ETF will exceed operating expenses in the future.
The Partner Nonprofit for the Impact Shares NAACP Minority Empowerment ETF and the Impact Shares YWCA Women’s Empowerment ETF is or will be tax‑exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code. The Partner Nonprofit for the Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF is a subsidiary organ of the United Nations, an intergovernmental organization established by its member states. Each Partner Nonprofit has entered into a license agreement (a “License Agreement”) with the Adviser. Pursuant to the relevant License Agreement, each Partner Nonprofit will grant the Adviser a license permitting the applicable Equity ETF to use the applicable Partner Nonprofit’s name and logo. The Adviser will pay a license fee to the Partner Nonprofit on a quarterly basis out of the applicable Equity ETF’s unitary fee, calculated as a percentage (expressed in basis points) of the assets under management of such Equity ETF. Each Partner Nonprofit will identify and compile certain social criteria to be incorporated into the applicable Equity ETF’s “social screen” – criteria that seek to measure corporate performance against a range of social impact benchmarks relevant to each Equity ETF. The Partner Nonprofits will not: (i) select any individual companies for inclusion or exclusion from the Underlying Indices or (ii) have any right to approve or modify the Indices, once constructed. The Partner Nonprofits will not have any influence on the day‑to‑day operations of the Equity ETFs or the Adviser’s management of the Equity ETFs. The Partner Nonprofits will not provide any investment advisory services to the Adviser, the Equity ETFs or any potential or current investors in the Equity ETFs. The Partner Nonprofits will have no equity ownership or other financial interest in the Adviser. Each Equity ETF’s right to use the name and logo of its Partner Nonprofit would terminate in the event that such Equity ETF’s Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated.

DISTRIBUTOR OF THE FUNDS
The Funds’ shares are offered for sale through SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), One Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Funds. The Distributor has no role in determining the policies of the Funds or the securities that are purchased or sold by the Funds.
DISTRIBUTION (12B‑1) PLAN
Under a Rule 12b‑1 Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) adopted by the Board, the Funds may pay the Distributor and financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and investment advisors, up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets of each Fund as reimbursement or compensation for distribution related activities and other services with respect to the applicable Fund. Because these fees are paid out of the applicable Fund’s assets on an on‑going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. No payments have yet been authorized by the Board, nor are any such expected to be made by the Fund under the Plan during the current fiscal year.
Distribution fees paid to the Distributor in the future may be spent on any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds’ shares including (but not limited to) to compensate the Distributor, the Funds’ investment adviser or any of their affiliates, as well as any banks, broker/dealers or other financial institutions for distribution or sales support services rendered, and related expenses incurred, for or on behalf of the Funds. The Distributor may also use any distribution fees paid in the future for the provision of personal services to investors in the shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Plan is considered a compensation type plan, which means that each Fund pays the Distributor the entire fee, if authorized by the Board in the future, regardless of the Distributor’s expenditures. Even if the Distributor’s actual expenditures exceed the fee payable under the Plan, if authorized by the Board in the future, at any given time, each Fund will not be obligated to pay more than that fee under the Plan. If the Distributor’s actual expenditures are less than the fee payable under the Plan, if authorized by the Board in the future, at any given time, the Distributor may realize a profit from the arrangement.
DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of a Fund’s portfolio securities is available (i) in the SAI and (ii) on the Funds’ website at www.impactetfs.org.
HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES
The Funds issue and redeem shares of the Fund only in aggregations of Creation Units. A Creation Unit is comprised of 50,000 shares or such other amount as may be from time to time determined to be in the best interests of a Fund by the President of the Fund.
 
72

See the section of this Prospectus entitled “Creation and Redemption of Shares” for more information.
Shares of the Funds are exchange traded and available for purchase on the Exchange by any investors (not only members of the Partner Nonprofits) seeking social impact consistent with the goals of the Partner Nonprofit.
Shares of the Funds are listed on the Exchange for trading on any day that the Exchange is open for business. Shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like shares of other publicly-traded companies. The Funds do not impose any minimum investment for shares of the Funds purchased on an exchange. Buying or selling Funds’ shares on an exchange involves two types of costs that may apply to all securities transactions. When buying or selling shares of the Funds through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission or other charges determined by your broker. In addition, you may incur the cost of the “spread” – that is, any difference between the bid price and the ask price. The commission is frequently a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell small amounts of shares. The spread varies over time for shares of the Funds based on each Fund’s trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the applicable Fund has a lot of trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the applicable Fund has little trading volume and market liquidity. Shares of the Funds trade on NYSE Arca, Inc. The Board has adopted a policy of not monitoring for frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares (“frequent trading”) that appear to attempt to take advantage of a potential arbitrage opportunity presented by a lag between a change in the value of the Funds’ portfolio securities after the close of the primary markets for the Funds’ portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in each Funds’ NAV (“market timing”), because the Funds’ shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange.
Because secondary market trades do not involve the Funds directly, it is unlikely those trades would cause many of the harmful effects of market timing, including dilution, disruption of portfolio management, increases in the Funds’ trading costs and the realization of capital gains.
Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other investment companies. Registered investment companies are permitted to invest in the Funds beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1), subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in SEC rules or in an SEC exemptive order issued to the Trust. In order for a registered investment company to invest in shares of the Funds pursuant to the exemptive relief obtained by the Trust from the limitations of Section 12(d)(1), the company must enter into an agreement with the Trust.
Book Entry
Shares of the Fund are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee is the record or registered owner of all outstanding shares of the Funds.
Investors owning shares of the Funds are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for shares of the Fund. DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. Beneficial owners of shares are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have shares registered in their names, and they are not considered a registered owner of shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of shares, a beneficial owner must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other securities that a beneficial owner holds in book-entry or “street name” form.
Creation and Redemption of Shares
The Funds issue and sell Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without a sales load, at NAV plus a transaction fee next determined after receipt of a purchase order, on any day that the Exchange is
 
73

open for business. Creation units of shares may be purchased only by or through a DTC participant that has entered into an Authorized Participant agreement with the Distributor. Investors who are not Authorized Participants must make appropriate arrangements with an Authorized Participant. The Funds may direct portfolio transactions to certain Authorized Participants or their affiliates in certain circumstances, such as to achieve best execution, but do not direct transactions based on the purchase/sale of Funds’ shares. Due to the nature of the Funds’ investments, Authorized Participants may deposit cash, a portfolio of securities constituting a representative sample of the applicable Underlying Index or a combination of cash and a portfolio of securities constituting a representative sample of the applicable Underlying Index in exchange for a specified amount of Creation Units.
Redemptions of Creation Units for securities will be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Funds reserve the right to redeem Creation Units for cash if the Funds could not lawfully deliver specific Fund securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the securities under such laws. An Authorized Participant or an investor for which it is acting subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security included in the Fund securities applicable to the redemption of a Creation Unit may be paid an equivalent amount of cash. This would specifically prohibit delivery of Fund securities that are not registered in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to a redeeming investor that is not a “qualified institutional buyer,” as such term is defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Authorized Participant may request the redeeming beneficial owner of the shares to complete an order form or to enter into agreements with respect to such matters as compensating cash payments.
Investors should be aware that their particular broker may not be a DTC participant or may not have executed an Authorized Participant agreement, in which case orders to purchase creation units of shares may have to be placed by the investor’s broker through an Authorized Participant. As a result, purchase orders placed through an Authorized Participant may result in additional charges to such investor. The Fund expects to enter into Authorized Participant agreements with only a small number of DTC participants.
Purchases through and outside the Clearing Process
An Authorized Participant may place an order to purchase (or redeem) creation units (i) through the Continuous Net Settlement clearing processes of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (“NSCC”) as such processes have been enhanced to effect purchases (and redemptions) of creation units, such processes being referred to herein as the “Clearing Process,” or (ii) outside the Clearing Process. To purchase or redeem through the Clearing Process, an Authorized Participant must be a member of NSCC that is eligible to use the Continuous Net Settlement system. For purchase orders placed through the Clearing Process, the Authorized Participant agreement authorizes the Distributor to transmit through the Funds’ transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) to NSCC, on behalf of an Authorized Participant, such trade instructions as are necessary to effect the Authorized Participant’s purchase order.
Pursuant to such trade instructions to NSCC, the Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the requisite deposit securities and the balancing amount to the applicable Fund, together with the Transaction Fee and such additional information as may be required by the Distributor.
An Authorized Participant that wishes to place an order to purchase Creation Units outside the Clearing Process must state that it is not using the Clearing Process and that the purchase instead will be effected through a transfer of securities and cash directly through DTC. Purchases (and redemptions) of Creation Units settled outside the Clearing Process will be subject to a higher Transaction Fee (as defined below) than those settled through the Clearing Process.
Whether placed through the Clearing Process or outside the Clearing Process, a purchase order must be received by the Distributor by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time if transmitted by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means permitted under the Participant Agreement in order to receive that day’s closing NAV per share.
 
74

Rejection of Purchase Orders
The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject a purchase order transmitted to it by the Distributor in respect of the Funds if (a) the order is not in proper form; (b) the purchaser or group of purchasers, upon obtaining the shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding shares of the applicable Fund; (c) the deposit securities delivered are not as specified by the Adviser and the Adviser has not consented to acceptance of an in‑kind deposit that varies from the designated deposit securities; (d) acceptance of the purchase transaction order would have certain adverse tax consequences to the applicable Fund; (e) the acceptance of the purchase transaction order would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; (f) the acceptance of the purchase order transaction would otherwise, in the discretion of the applicable Fund or the Adviser, have an adverse effect on the applicable Fund or the rights of beneficial owners; (g) the value of a cash purchase amount, or the value of the balancing amount to accompany an in‑kind deposit, exceeds a purchase authorization limit extended to an Authorized Participant by the custodian and the Authorized Participant has not deposited an amount in excess of such purchase authorization with the custodian prior to the relevant cut‑off time for the applicable Fund on the Transmittal Date; or (h) in the event that circumstances outside the control of the Fund, the Distributor and the Adviser make it impractical to process purchase orders. A Fund shall notify a prospective purchaser of its rejection of the order of such person. The Funds and the Distributor are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of purchase transaction orders nor shall either of them incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification.
Redemptions
Similarly, shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at their NAV next determined after receipt of a redemption request in good order by the Distributor on any day on that the Exchange is open for business. All redemption requests, whether placed through or outside the Clearing Process, must be received by the Distributor by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time in order to receive that day’s Closing NAV per Share. The Fund reserves the right to reject any redemption request that is not in good order. Contact Impact Shares you have any questions about your particular circumstances. In general, a purchase order is in “good order” if: (i) a request in form satisfactory to the applicable Fund is received by the Distributor or its agent from the Authorized Participant on behalf of itself or another redeeming investor within the time periods specified herein; and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement are properly followed. The Funds reserve the right to require additional information at any time for a purchase order to be in “good order.”
The Funds will not redeem shares in amounts less than Creation Units.
Beneficial owners also may sell shares in the secondary market, but must accumulate enough shares to constitute a Creation Unit in order to have such shares redeemed by the Funds. There can be no assurance, however, that there will be sufficient liquidity in the public trading market at any time to permit assembly of a Creation Unit of shares. Investors should expect to incur brokerage and other costs in connection with assembling a sufficient number of shares to constitute a redeemable Creation Unit.
The Funds may suspend the right of redemption and postpone payment for more than seven days: (i) during periods when trading on the Exchange is closed on days other than weekdays or holidays; (ii) during periods when trading on the Exchange is restricted; (iii) during any emergency which makes it impractical for the Funds to dispose of its securities or fairly determine the NAV of the Funds; and (iv) during any other period permitted by the SEC for your protection.
Because new shares may be created and issued on an ongoing basis, at any point during the life of the Funds, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the Securities Act, may be occurring. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner that could render them statutory underwriters and subject to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. Any determination of whether one is an underwriter must take into account all the relevant facts and circumstances of each particular case.
 
75

Broker-dealers should also note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are participating in a distribution (as contrasted to ordinary secondary transactions), and thus dealing with shares that are part of an “unsold allotment” within the meaning of Section 4 (3)(C) of the Securities Act, would be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act. For delivery of prospectuses to exchange members, the prospectus delivery mechanism of Rule 153 under the Securities Act is available only with respect to transactions on a national securities exchange.
Redemption Proceeds
A redemption request received by a Fund will be effected at the NAV per share next determined after such Fund receives the request in good order. While a Fund will generally pay redemptions proceeds wholly or partially in portfolio securities, such Fund may pay your redemption proceeds in cash. In this event, the portfolio of securities a Fund will deliver upon redemption of Fund shares may differ from the portfolio of securities required for purchase of a Creation Unit. You will be exposed to market risk until you convert these portfolio securities into cash, you will likely pay commissions upon any such conversion, and you may recognize taxable gain or loss resulting from fluctuations in value of the portfolio securities between the conversion date and the redemption date. If you receive illiquid securities, you could find it more difficult to sell such securities and may not be able to sell such securities at prices that reflect the Adviser’s or your assessment of their fair value or the amount paid for them by the Fund. Illiquidity may result from the absence of an established market for such securities as well as legal, contractual or other restrictions on their resale and other factors.
Transaction Fees
Authorized Participants are charged standard creation and redemption transaction fees (“Transaction Fees”) to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units. There is a fixed and a variable component to the total Transaction Fee. A fixed Transaction Fee of $500 ($3,500 in the case of the Impact Shares Sustainable Development Goals Global Equity ETF) is applicable to each creation or redemption transaction, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed. Creations and redemptions are also subject to an additional variable charge of up to 1% of the net asset value per Creation Unit, inclusive of the standard transaction fee, for (i) in‑kind creations or redemptions effected outside the normal Clearing Process, (ii) in whole or partial cash creations, (iii) in whole or partial cash redemptions or (iv) non‑standard orders. The variable component is primarily designed to cover non‑standard charges, e.g., brokerage, taxes, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction. In all cases, the Transaction Fee will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the SEC applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities. A Fund may determine not to charge the variable portion of a Transaction Fee on certain orders when Impact Shares has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders, e.g., for redemption orders that facilitate the rebalance of a Fund’s portfolio in a more tax efficient manner than could be achieved without such order. The variable portion of a Transaction Fee may be higher or lower than the trading expenses incurred by a Fund with respect to the transaction.
No redemption fee will exceed 2% of the value of the Creation Unit redeemed.
Net Asset Value
The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on each day that the Exchange is open for business, except on days on which regular trading on the Exchange is scheduled to close before 4:00, when the Fund calculates NAV as of the scheduled close of regular trading. The Exchange is open Monday through Friday, but currently is scheduled to be closed on New Year’s Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day or on the preceding Friday or subsequent Monday when a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, respectively.
 
76

The NAV per share is computed by dividing the value of a Fund’s net assets (i.e., the value of its securities and other assets less its liabilities, including expenses payable or accrued but excluding capital stock and surplus) attributable to such Fund by the total number of shares of such Fund outstanding at the time the determination is made.
The Funds’ portfolio securities are valued in accordance with the Funds’ valuation policies approved by the Board. The value of a Fund’s investments is generally determined as follows:
 
   
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their current market value. When market quotations are not readily available (or are deemed unreliable) for one or more portfolio securities, the 1940 Act requires the Funds to use the investment’s fair value, as determined in good faith. Pursuant to Rule 2a‑5 under the 1940 Act, has designated the Adviser as the valuation designee to perform fair value determinations , subject to Board oversight.
 
   
Foreign securities listed on foreign exchanges are valued based on quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Funds does not calculate NAV. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or redeem shares of the Funds.
 
   
Investments by the Funds in any mutual fund are valued at their respective NAVs as determined by those mutual funds each business day. The prospectuses for those mutual funds explain the circumstances under which those funds will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.
 
   
Pursuant to the Valuation Designee’s fair value policies and procedures, securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the market price is determined to be unreliable, may include but are not limited to securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, securities for which no or limited trading activity has occurred for a period of time, or securities that are otherwise deemed to be illiquid (i.e., securities that cannot be disposed of within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is currently priced by the Fund which holds the security). Market quotations may also be not “readily available” if a significant event occurs after the close of the principal exchange on which a portfolio security trades (but before the time for calculation of such Fund’s NAV) if that event affects or is likely to affect (more than minimally) the NAV per share of such Fund. In determining the fair value price of a security, the Valuation Designee may use a number of other methodologies, including those based on discounted cash flows, multiples, recovery rates, yield to maturity or discounts to public comparables. The Valuation Designee may also employ independent pricing services. Fair value pricing involves judgments that are inherently subjective and inexact; as a result, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security will be materially different from the value that actually could be or is realized upon the sale of that asset. Valuing the Funds’ investments using fair value pricing will result in using prices for those investments that may differ from current market valuations. Use of fair value prices and certain current market valuations could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate each Fund’s NAV and the prices used by each applicable Underlying Index, which, in turn, could result in a difference between a Fund’s performance and the performance of its Underlying Index.
Share Prices
The trading prices of the Funds’ shares in the secondary market generally differ from each Fund’s daily NAV and are affected by market forces such as supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors. Information regarding the intraday value of shares of a Fund, also known as the “indicative optimized portfolio value” (“IOPV”), is disseminated every 15 seconds throughout the trading day by the national securities exchange on which the Funds’ shares are listed or by market data vendors or other information providers. The
 
77

IOPV is based on the current market value of the securities and/or cash required to be deposited in exchange for a Creation Unit. The IOPV does not reflect operating expenses or other accruals. The IOPV does not necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current portfolio of securities held by a Fund at a particular point in time or the best possible valuation of the current portfolio. Therefore, the IOPV should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of a Fund’s NAV, which is computed only once a day. The IOPV is generally determined by using both current market quotations and/or price quotations obtained from broker-dealers that may trade in the portfolio securities held by a Fund. The quotations of certain Fund holdings may not be updated during U.S. trading hours if such holdings do not trade in the U.S. The Funds are not involved in, or responsible for, the calculation or dissemination of the IOPV and make no representation or warranty as to its accuracy.
Premium/Discount Information
The NAV of each Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of each Fund’s portfolio holdings. The market price of each Fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. Shareholders may pay more than NAV when they buy a Fund’s shares and receive less than NAV when they sell those shares, because shares are bought and sold at current Market Prices.
Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and market price of a Fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a Fund is
trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. Further information about the premium and discounts for the Fund is available at www.impactetfs.org.
Dividends and Other Distributions
The Funds intend to declare and pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and to pay any capital gain distributions on an annual basis. There is no fixed dividend rate, and there can be no assurance that the Funds will pay any dividends or make any capital gain distributions.
No dividend reinvestment service is provided by the Funds. Broker-dealers may make available the DTC book-entry Dividend Reinvestment Service for use by beneficial owners of the Funds for reinvestment of its dividend distributions. Beneficial owners should contact their broker to determine the availability and costs of the service and the details of participation therein. Brokers may require beneficial owners to adhere to specific procedures and timetables. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and realized gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares of the Funds purchased in the secondary market. Dividends and other taxable distributions are taxable to you, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Funds pursuant to DTC’s Dividend Reinvestment Service. Shareholders using the Dividend Reinvestment Service should consult their broker-dealer for more information about the specific terms of the service, including potential tax consequences to such shareholders in light of their particular circumstances.
Capitalization Criteria
The Funds are subject to market capitalization criteria, such as policies adopted pursuant to Rule 35d‑1 under the 1940 Act (the so‑called “names rule”), that are tied to specific securities indices (“reference indices”). When each Fund’s reference index is periodically rebalanced or reconstituted, the applicable Fund may require a reasonable time period to align its investment portfolio with any new market capitalization criteria that result from changes to the reference index.

TAXATION
The following discussion is a summary of some of the important U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to an investment in the Funds. Your investment may have other tax implications. The discussion reflects provisions of the Code, existing Treasury regulations, rulings published by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other applicable authorities, as of the date of this Prospectus. These authorities may be changed, possibly with retroactive effect, or subject to new legislative, administrative or judicial interpretations. No attempt is made to present a detailed explanation of all U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax law concerns affecting the Funds and their shareholders (including shareholders owning large positions in the Funds) or to address all aspects of taxation that may apply to Authorized Participants, individual shareholders or to specific types of shareholders, such as foreign persons, that may qualify for special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws. The discussion set forth herein does not constitute tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor about foreign, federal, state, local or other tax laws applicable to you. For more information, please see “Income Tax Considerations” in the SAI.
The Funds intend to elect to be treated and intend to qualify annually as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code including by complying with the applicable qualifying income and diversification requirements. If the Funds so qualify and satisfy certain distribution requirements, the Funds generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on income and gains that the Funds distribute to their shareholders in a timely manner in the form of dividends or capital gain dividends (as defined below). As described in “Dividends and Other Distributions” above, the Funds intend to distribute at least annually all or substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. The Funds will be subject to a Fund-level income tax at regular corporate income tax rates on any taxable income or gains that they does not timely distribute to their shareholders.
If a Fund were to fail to distribute in a calendar year at least an amount equal to the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income for such year, (ii) 98.2% of its capital gains in excess of its capital losses (adjusted for certain
 
79

ordinary losses) for the one‑year period ending on October 31 of such year (or November 30 or December 31 of that year if a Fund is permitted to elect and so elects), and (iii) any such amounts retained from the prior year, such Fund would be subject to a nondeductible 4% excise tax on the undistributed amounts. For these purposes, a Fund will be treated as having distributed any amount on which it is subject to corporate income tax for the taxable year ending within the calendar year .While the Funds intend to distribute any income and capital gain in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4% U.S. federal excise tax, there can be no assurance that sufficient amounts of a Fund’s taxable income and capital gain will be distributed to avoid entirely the imposition of the tax. In that event, such Fund will be liable for the excise tax only on the amount by which it does not meet the foregoing distribution requirement.
Additionally, if for any taxable year a Fund was not to qualify as a RIC and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure, all of its taxable income and gain would be subject to a Fund-level tax at regular corporate income tax rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders. This treatment would reduce such Fund’s net income available for investment or distribution to its shareholders. In addition, all distributions from earnings and profits, including any net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Some portions of such distributions may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders or to be treated as “qualified dividend income” in the case of individual shareholders. Such Fund also could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make substantial distributions before requalifying as a RIC that is accorded special tax treatment.
The tax rules applicable to certain derivative instruments in which the Funds may invest are uncertain under current law, including the provisions applicable to RICs under Subchapter M of the Code. For instance, the timing and character of income or gains arising from certain derivatives can be uncertain, including for Subchapter M purposes. Accordingly, while the Funds intend to account for such transactions in a manner they deem to be appropriate, an adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS with respect to one or more of these rules (which determination or guidance could be retroactive) may adversely affect the Funds’ ability to meet one or more of the relevant requirements to maintain their qualification as RICs, as well as to avoid Fund-level taxes. See the “Statement of Additional Information” for additional detail regarding the Funds’ investments in derivatives.
The Funds’ investments in foreign securities, if any, may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes. Tax treaties between the U.S. and other countries may reduce or eliminate such taxes. Foreign taxes paid by the Funds will reduce the return from the Funds’ investments. Shareholders generally will not be entitled to a claim or deductions for such taxes on their own returns.
Distributions paid to you by a Fund from net capital gain (that is, the excess of any net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss, in each case with reference to any loss carryforwards) that such Fund properly reports to you as a capital gain dividend (“capital gain dividends”) generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gain includible in net capital gain and taxed to individuals at reduced rates, regardless of how long you have held your shares. All other dividends paid to you by a Fund (including dividends from short-term capital gain (that is, the excess of any net short-term capital gain over any net long-term capital loss)) from its current or accumulated earnings and profits generally are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of investment income reported by a Fund as derived from “qualified dividend income” will be taxed in the hands of individuals at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding periods and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and Fund level.
A Medicare contribution tax of 3.8% is imposed on the “net investment income” of certain individuals, estates and trusts to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by a Fund, including any capital gain dividends, and capital gains recognized on the taxable sale, redemption or exchange of shares of such Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in a Fund.
 
80

If, for any taxable year, a Fund’s total distributions exceed both current earnings and profits and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will generally be treated as a tax‑free return of capital up to the amount of your tax basis in the shares. The amount treated as a tax‑free return of capital will reduce your tax basis in the shares, thereby increasing your potential gain or reducing your potential loss on the subsequent sale of the shares. Any amounts distributed to you in excess of your tax basis in the shares will be taxable to you as capital gain (assuming the shares are held as a capital asset).
Dividends and other taxable distributions are taxable to you, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of a Fund pursuant to DTC’s Dividend Reinvestment Service (see “Dividends and Other Distributions”). Dividends and other distributions paid by a Fund generally are treated as received by you at the time the dividend or distribution is made. If, however, a Fund pays you a dividend in January that was declared in the previous October, November or December and you were a shareholder of record on a specified record date in one of those months, then such dividend will be treated for tax purposes as being paid by such Fund and received by you on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared.
The price of shares purchased at any time may reflect the amount of a forthcoming distribution. If you purchase shares just prior to the ex‑dividend date for a distribution, you generally will receive a distribution that will be taxable to you even though it represents in part a return of your invested capital.
The Funds (or your broker or other financial intermediary through which you own your shares) will send information after the end of each calendar year setting forth the amount and tax status of any dividends or other distributions paid to you by the Funds. Dividends and other distributions may also be subject to state, local and other taxes.
If you sell or otherwise dispose of any of your shares of a Fund, you will generally recognize a gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between your tax basis in such shares of the Fund and the amount you receive upon disposition of such shares. If you hold your shares as capital assets, any such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held (or are treated as having held) such shares for more than one year at the time of sale. All or a portion of any loss you realize on a taxable sale or exchange of your shares of a Fund will be disallowed if you acquire other shares of such Fund (whether through the reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a 61‑day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after your sale or exchange of the shares. In such case, the basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. In addition, any loss realized upon a taxable sale or exchange of Fund shares held (or deemed held) by you for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, to the extent of any capital gain dividends received (or deemed received) by you with respect to those shares. Present law taxes both long-term and short-term capital gains of corporations at the rates applicable to ordinary income.
The Funds (or your broker or other financial intermediary through which you own your shares) may be required to withhold, for U.S. federal backup withholding tax purposes, a portion of the dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds payable to you if: (i) you fail to provide the Funds (or the intermediary) with your correct taxpayer identification number (in the case of an individual, generally, such individual’s social security number) or to make the required certification; or (ii) the Funds (or the intermediary) has been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding. Certain shareholders are exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that you furnish the required information to the IRS.
Authorized Participant Taxes Purchase and Redemption of Creation Units
Authorized Participants should consult their tax advisors about the federal, state, local or foreign tax consequences of purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the Funds.

THE FOREGOING IS A GENERAL AND ABBREVIATED SUMMARY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE AND THE TREASURY REGULATIONS IN EFFECT AS THEY DIRECTLY GOVERN THE TAXATION OF THE FUNDS AND THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. THESE PROVISIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY LEGISLATIVE OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION, AND ANY SUCH CHANGE MAY BE RETROACTIVE. A MORE COMPLETE DISCUSSION OF THE TAX RULES APPLICABLE TO THE FUNDS AND THEIR SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS, CAN BE FOUND IN THE STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, WHICH IS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS PROSPECTUS. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISERS REGARDING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AS TO U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAXES.
