SUMMARY INFORMATION

WBI BULLBEAR VALUE 3000 ETF

Investment Objective

The WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF’s (the “Fund”) investment objectives are to seek long-term capital appreciation and the potential for current income, while also seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commission and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below. Investors purchasing Shares on a national securities exchange, national securities association, or over-the-counter trading system where Shares may trade from time to time (each, a “Secondary Market”) may be subject to customary brokerage commissions charged by their broker that are not reflected in the table set forth below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):


Management Fee			0.85%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees			0.00%
Other Expenses			0.53%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses(1)			0.14%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses			1.52%
Fee Waiver Reimbursement			(0.13)%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement(1)(2)			1.39%

(1) Acquired Funds Fees & Expenses (“AFFE”) represent the Fund’s pro rata share of fees and expenses incurred indirectly as a result of investing in other funds, including ETFs and money market funds. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses in this fee table does not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s “Financial Highlights” section of the Prospectus, which does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

(2) The Fund’s investment sub-advisor has agreed to limit the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to no

more than 1.25% of the average daily net assets for the Fund until at least October 31, 2023.

Example. This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. Investors may pay brokerage commissions on their purchases and sales of exchange-traded fund shares, which are not reflected in the example.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain at current levels. The return of 5% and estimated expenses are for illustration purposes only and should not be considered indicators of expected Fund expenses or performance, which may be greater or less than the estimates. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
$142	$468	$817	$1,801

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund incurs implicit and explicit transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). Such costs may include, but are not limited to, market impact, which is the effect that a market participant has when it buys or sells an asset, and commissions. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. This rate excludes the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of any in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund’s Shares. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 845% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund will seek to invest in the equity securities of small-capitalization, mid-capitalization, and large-capitalization domestic and foreign companies that WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund, and an affiliate of Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor (“Advisor”), believes display attractive prospects for growth in a company’s intrinsic value, and in other tactical investment opportunities.

These securities will be selected on the basis of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process which includes a buy and sell discipline. The Fund’s buy discipline is primarily driven by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary selection process (“Selection Process”), as described further below. Cash and cash equivalents are some of the investment opportunities evaluated by the Selection Process. From time to time, the Fund may invest in and hold a significant percentage of its net assets in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment strategy.

Large-capitalization companies are those that have higher market capitalization than small- and mid-capitalization companies in their primary market when ranked in order of market capital. For publicly traded U.S. companies in the current environment, this would include companies with market capitalizations of greater than approximately $10 billion. Conversely, small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies are those that have lower market capitalization than large-capitalization companies in their primary market. For publicly-traded U.S. companies in the current environment, this would include companies with market capitalizations of less than approximately $10 billion. Each of large-, small- and mid-capitalization companies in non-U.S. markets may have capitalizations that differ from this U.S. Dollar equivalent amount because of the wide variation in the range of market capitalizations of companies available for investment in those markets.

The types of equity securities in which the Fund will generally invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and master limited partnerships (businesses organized as partnerships which trade on public exchanges) (“MLPs”). The types of debt securities in which the Fund will generally invest (or through which it will seek debt exposure) include fixed, floating, and variable rate corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, debt securities of foreign issuers, sovereign debt securities, U.S. Government agency securities, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), ETFs, and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”). An ETN is an unsecured debt security that trades on an established exchange. Its underlying value is determined by reference to an index, commodity, interest rate, or other objectively determined reference. The Fund expects to invest in debt securities of all maturities, from less than one year up to thirty years, depending on the portfolio managers’ assessment of the risks and opportunities along the yield curve. (The yield curve refers to differences in yield among debt assets of varying maturities).

The Fund may invest in domestic and foreign debt securities, ETFs, ETNs, and/or in option strategies to enhance the Fund’s returns or to mitigate risk and volatility. Equity option strategies used by the Fund for individual securities include writing (selling) covered calls, buying calls or puts, and using combinations of calls and puts. The Fund may also use options on indices.

The Fund may invest without limitation in securities of small-capitalization, mid-capitalization, and large-capitalization foreign issuers, and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in the securities of issuers in emerging markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in high-yield bonds. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including other ETFs, up to the limits specified in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) or in reliance on exemptions therefrom.

Although the Fund is limited as to the percentage of its net assets that may be directly invested in certain asset classes, the Fund may obtain investment exposure to such asset classes in excess of such limits by investing indirectly in such asset classes through other investment companies, including other ETFs with exposure to such asset classes. Consequently, investments in such pooled investment vehicles may result in aggregate direct and indirect investment exposure to an asset class in excess of the limit up to which the applicable Fund may invest directly in such assets.

The investment process used for the Fund attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be. This is the Fund’s definition of an absolute return approach to investment management, and such an approach is used (in part) to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

The Sub-Advisor uses quantitative computer screening of fundamental information to evaluate securities in an attempt to find companies and investment opportunities with attractive value characteristics. Dividend or interest payments may be considered as part of the evaluation process. Once securities are identified, an overlay of technical analysis may be used to confirm timeliness of security purchases.

The Sub-Advisor also attempts to identify the appropriate duration and credit quality of any exposure to debt securities. Duration is a measure of a fixed income security’s expected price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Credit quality is a measure of a borrower’s creditworthiness or risk of default. A portion of the Fund’s exposure may also be invested to pursue perceived tactical opportunities in varying segments of the equity or debt markets. The Sub-Advisor then purchases qualifying securities using available cash. This systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and purchasing securities constitutes the Sub-Advisor’s buy discipline for the Fund.

Once securities are purchased, the Sub-Advisor maintains a sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each Fund asset on the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). This sell discipline, together with the buy discipline, constitutes the Fund’s strategy to achieve its investment objective. If a Fund asset’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the Fund asset will continue to be held. If a Fund asset’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the Fund asset will be identified to sell. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested, or by raising cash to protect capital. During periods of high market volatility, a significant amount of Fund holdings may be sold, resulting in a significant allocation to cash or cash equivalents in the Fund.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Sub-Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio. As a result, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund will be high. The Sub-Advisor expects that the Fund’s investment strategy will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.

For additional information about the Fund’s principal investment strategies and the investment process, see “Description of the Principal Strategies of the Funds.”

Principal Risks

Investors in the Fund should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the Fund’s Shares and the possibility of significant losses. An investment in the Fund involves a substantial degree of risk and the Fund does not represent a complete investment program. As with all investments, you may lose money in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit, is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency, and may lose value. Therefore, you should consider carefully the following risks before investing in the Fund. A more complete discussion of Principal Risks is included under “Description of the Principal Risks of the Funds.”

Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment:

Cash Position Risk - If the Fund invests all or a substantial portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents for extended periods of time, including when it is investing for temporary defensive purposes, it could reduce the Fund’s potential return and prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective as the limited returns of cash or cash equivalents may lag other investment instruments.

Management Risk - An investment in the Fund varies with the success and failure of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies and the Sub-Advisor’s research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities. If the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies, including its models, stop loss and goal-setting process, do not produce the expected results, the market value or NAV of the Shares would decrease.

Quantitative Model Risk - While the Fund’s principal investment strategy utilizes various quantitative models, the Fund’s portfolio managers exercise discretion with respect to portfolio transactions. To the extent various proprietary quantitative or investment models are used, securities or other financial instruments selected may perform differently than expected, or from the market as a whole, as a result of a quantitative model’s component factors, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical issues in the construction, implementation and maintenance of the models (e.g., data problems, software issues, etc.). There can be no assurance that a quantitative model will achieve its objective or that the methodology employed by an investment strategy will eliminate exposure to downward trends and/or volatility in the markets or provide immediate exposure to upward trends and/or volatility in the markets.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject you to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transaction costs, which can negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

Model Risk - The Fund’s investment process includes the use of proprietary models and analysis methods developed by the Sub-Advisor, and data provided by third parties. Third party data and information used in models and analysis is obtained from sources believed to be reliable, however inaccurate data could adversely affect the effectiveness of the resulting investment implementation on the Fund’s performance. There can be no assurance that any particular model or investment strategy, including those devised by the Sub-Advisor, will be profitable for the Fund, and may result in a loss of principal.

Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk - Investing in securities of small- and medium-capitalization companies may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies because small- and medium-capitalization companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.

Growth Risk - Growth companies are companies whose earnings growth potential appears to be greater than the market in general and whose revenue growth is expected to continue for an extended period of time. Stocks of growth companies (or “growth securities”) have market values that may be more volatile than those of other types of investments. Growth securities typically do not pay a dividend, which can help cushion stock prices in market downturns and reduce potential losses. The Fund’s investments in stocks of growth companies may cause the share price of the Fund to be more volatile than the prices of funds that do not invest primarily in growth stocks. During periods when growth stocks are underperforming other types of stocks, the Fund may also underperform funds that favor other types of securities.

Value Risk - Value companies are those whose stocks appear to be priced at a material discount to the underlying value of the issuing company. The reason for the apparent discount may reflect an underlying business condition that is more serious or permanent than anticipated, and stocks of value companies may remain depressed for extended periods of time or may never realize their expected potential value. The Fund’s investments in value stocks may cause the Fund to underperform funds that do not invest predominantly in value stocks during periods when value stocks underperform other types of stocks.

Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk - Foreign investments may carry risks associated with investing outside the United States, such as currency fluctuation, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information, or unfavorable political or legal developments. Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets. Many foreign securities may also be less liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund’s investments. Investments in emerging markets may have more risk because the markets are less developed and less liquid, as well as being subject to increased economic, political, regulatory or other uncertainties. Also, as foreign and emerging markets decline, investors tend to exit these markets in unison.

Debt Securities Risk - The market value of debt securities held by the Fund typically changes as interest rates change, as demand for the instruments changes, and as actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer changes. Additionally, debt securities with longer durations are expected to experience greater price movements than securities with shorter durations for the same change in prevailing interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the market value of the debt securities held by the Fund will generally decline. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high- yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and

similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading opportunities for certain debt securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.

High-Yield Securities Risk - The debt securities that are rated below investment grade (i.e., “junk bonds”) are subject to additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default liquidation of the security and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer. High-yield securities are inherently speculative.

Fundamental Business Risk - Companies with apparently attractive financial conditions and prospects for ongoing financial stability may experience adverse business conditions specific to their industry or enterprise that cause their financial condition and prospects to deteriorate. The Fund’s investments in companies that experience negative developments in their financial condition may lose value relative to the stocks of other companies, causing the Fund to underperform funds that do not invest in companies primarily on the basis of their underlying financial condition.

Exchange-Traded Note Risk - The value of an ETN may be influenced by the time remaining before its maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying securities’ markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced index. In addition, the notes issued by ETNs and held by a fund are unsecured debt of the issuer.

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value - The NAV of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in market value of the Fund’s holdings.

Cybersecurity Risk - Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, and the Fund’s other service providers, market makers, APs or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions and negatively impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems of the Fund’s service providers, market makers, APs or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests.

Equity Securities Risk - Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If the Fund holds common stock or common stock equivalents of any given issuer, it will generally be exposed to greater risk than if the Fund held preferred stocks and debt obligations of such issuer. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities, however, unlike common stocks, participation in the growth of an issuer may be limited. Warrants and rights do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle their holder to purchase, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer.

gains, increased sensitivity to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices than conventional securities, and transaction costs.

Dividend Risk - To the extent that the Fund invests in dividend-paying equities, the Fund may underperform funds that do not invest in dividend-paying equities during periods when dividend-paying equities underperform other types of stocks. In addition, if stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.

REIT Risk - Investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and annual compliance with tax rules applicable to REITs. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and therefore Fund shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests.

ETF and Other Investment Companies Risk - When the Fund invests in another ETF or other investment company (e.g., mutual fund, closed-end fund, business development company), it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of such investment company’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or other investment company generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities and other assets held by the ETF or other investment company. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs and other exchange-listed investment companies. Additionally, the Fund will be indirectly exposed to the risks of the portfolio assets held by an ETF or other investment company, including but not limited to those of ETNs, equity options, derivatives, currencies, index, leverage, and replication management.

Liquidity Risk - The Fund’s investments are subject to liquidity risk, which exists when an investment is or becomes difficult to purchase or sell. If a transaction is particularly large or if the relevant market is or becomes illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may cause the Fund to suffer significant losses and difficulties in meeting redemptions. If a number of securities held by the Fund halt trading, such as due to an exchange’s limit-up, limit-down rules, it may have a cascading effect and cause the Fund to halt trading. Volatility in market prices will increase the risk of the Fund being subject to a trading halt.

Master Limited Partnership Risk - Investing in MLPs entails risk including fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in supply of or demand for energy commodities, and other adverse energy market conditions.

Active ETF Risk - There is no obligation by any market maker to make a market in the Fund’s shares or by any Authorized Participant (“AP”) to submit creation or redemption orders. Decisions by market makers or APs to reduce or step away from the Fund in a time of market stress could inhibit the arbitrage process by which a relationship between the Fund’s NAV per share and the market trading prices of the shares is maintained. Thus, reduced effectiveness of the arbitrage function could result in Fund shares trading at a discount to NAV per share and also with greater than normal intra-day bid/ask spreads.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk - The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs to create and redeem Fund Shares. To the extent that these APs exit the business or are unable to process creation and redemption orders and no other AP is able to step

forward to create and redeem in either of these cases, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for the Fund’s Shares and such Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face de-listing.

Market Risk - Either the stock market as a whole or the value of an investment held by the Fund may go down, resulting in a decrease in the market value or NAV of the Shares. For example, there is the risk that sharp price declines in securities owned by the Fund, known as flash crash risk, may trigger trading halts, which may result in the Fund’s Shares trading in the market at an increasingly large discount to NAV during part (or all) of a trading day. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, sanctions, trade and tariff disputes, epidemics, pandemics or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant and protracted impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV.

Trading Price Risk - Although it is expected that generally the exchange price of the Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price in the Secondary Market and the NAV vary significantly.

Shares are Not Individually Redeemable - Shares are only redeemable by the Fund at NAV if they are tendered in large blocks known as “Creation Units” which are expected to be worth in excess of $1 million each. Only APs may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Individual Shares may be sold on a stock exchange at their current market prices, which may be less, more, or equal to their NAV. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will be maintained for the Shares.

Performance Information

The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the Fund’s performance for the calendar years ended December 31. The table illustrates how the Fund’s average annual returns for the 1-year, 5-year and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on www.wbietfs.com, the Fund’s “Website,” or by calling the Fund toll-free at (855) WBI-ETFS or (855) 924-3837.

Calendar Year Total Returns

For the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2022, the Fund’s total return was -7.97%. During the period of time shown in the bar chart, the Fund’s highest quarterly return was 12.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, and the lowest quarterly return was -10.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.


Average Annual Total Returns For the Period Ended December 31, 2021
WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF	1 Year	5 Years	Since Inception (8/25/2014)
Return Before Taxes	16.86%	5.90%	3.90%
Return After Taxes on Distributions	16.01%	5.60%	3.64%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares	10.34%	4.57%	3.01%
Russell 3000® Value Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes)	25.37%	11.00%	9.70%

Average annual total returns are shown on a before- and after-tax basis for the Fund. 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. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement plans.

Management

Investment Advisor. Millington Securities, Inc. is the Fund’s investment advisor and has selected its affiliate WBI Investments, Inc. to act as the sub-advisor to the Fund and to be responsible for its day-to-day investment management.

Portfolio Managers. The portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund are as follows:

•Steven Van Solkema, co-portfolio manager. After working for the Advisor since 2014, Mr. Van Solkema joined the Sub-Advisor in 2019 and is its President and Chief Investment Officer. He has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since 2019.

•Don Schreiber, Jr., co-portfolio manager. Mr. Schreiber founded the Sub-Advisor in 1984 and is its Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer. He has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since 2014.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in Creation Units comprised of blocks of 50,000 Shares, or whole multiples thereof. Only a broker-dealer (“Authorized Participant”) that enters into an appropriate agreement with the Fund’s distributor may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund’s Creation Units generally are issued and redeemed “in-kind,” for securities in the Fund, but may also be issued and redeemed in cash. Retail investors may acquire Shares on the NYSE Arca through a broker-dealer. Shares of the Fund will trade at market price rather than NAV. As such, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase Shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Sub-Advisor may pay the intermediary for the sale of 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.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Sub-Advisor uses quantitative computer screening of fundamental information to evaluate securities in an attempt to find companies and investment opportunities with attractive yield characteristics. The quality or consistency of dividend or interest payments is generally considered as part of the evaluation process. Once securities are identified, an overlay of technical analysis may be used to confirm timeliness of security purchases.

Once securities are purchased, the Sub-Advisor maintains a sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each Fund asset on the Fund’s NAV. This sell discipline, together with the buy discipline, constitutes the Fund’s strategy to achieve its investment objective. If a Fund asset’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the Fund asset will continue to be held. If a Fund asset’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the Fund asset will be identified to sell. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested or, by raising cash to protect capital. During periods of high market volatility, a significant amount of Fund holdings may be sold, resulting in a significant allocation to cash or cash equivalents in the Fund.

This rate excludes the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of any in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund’s Shares. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 899% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Sub-Advisor uses quantitative computer screening of fundamental information to evaluate securities in an attempt to find companies and investment opportunities with attractive financial stability characteristics. Dividend or interest payments may be considered as part of the evaluation process. Once securities are identified, an overlay of technical analysis may be used to confirm timeliness of security purchases.

Once securities are purchased, the Sub-Advisor maintains a sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each Fund asset on the Fund’s NAV. This sell discipline, together with the buy discipline, constitutes the Fund’s strategy to achieve its investment objective. If a Fund asset’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the Fund asset will continue to be held. If a Fund asset’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the Fund asset will be identified to sell. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested, or by raising cash to protect capital. During periods of high market volatility, a significant amount of Fund holdings may be sold, resulting in a significant allocation to cash or cash equivalents in the Fund.

Principal Risks

Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment:

or investment strategy, including those devised by the Sub-Advisor, will be profitable for the Fund, and may result in a loss of principal.

Fluctuation of Net Asset Value - The NAV of the Shares will fluctuate with changes in market value of the Fund’s holdings.

Dividend Risk - To the extent that the Fund invests in dividend-paying equities, the Fund may underperform funds that do not invest in dividend-paying equities during periods when dividend-

paying equities underperform other types of stocks. In addition, if stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk - The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”) to create and redeem Fund Shares. To the extent that these APs exit the business or are unable to process creation and redemption orders and no other AP is able to step forward to create and redeem in either of these cases, there may be a significantly diminished trading market for the Fund’s Shares and such Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face de-listing.

Shares. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 183% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to track the investment results of the Underlying Index, which is maintained and calculated by Solactive AG (the “Index Provider”). The Underlying Index is designed to select securities from the Solactive US Broad Market Index (the “Parent Index”) that exhibit certain yield and fundamental value characteristics. The Parent Index includes large, mid- and small-cap securities listed in the U.S., including approximately the 3,000 largest U.S. companies that are selected and weighted according to free float market capitalization. The Parent Index is adjusted semi-annually in May and November. Issuers undergoing initial public offerings may be added to the Parent Index on a quarterly basis, consistent with the Parent Index’s selection methodology.

In particular, the Underlying Index is designed to select equity securities from the Parent Index with an above-average forecasted dividend yield, scored on the basis of three fundamental value characteristics (the “Power Factors®”): Trailing 12-month diluted earnings from continuing operations to price ratio (E/P); Trailing 12-month free cash flow to price ratio (FCF/P); and Trailing 12-month sales to price ratio (S/P).

The Underlying Index is constructed by scoring each ordinary dividend paying, common stock constituent from the Parent Index both directly and relative to industry peers using the three Power Factors® and ranking those securities in descending order according to their dividend indicated yield. The 50 companies with the largest dividend indicated yield, subject to certain asset diversification and liquidity requirements, are chosen as Underlying Index components. Dividend indicated yield is the total prior year dividend payments of a security expressed as a percentage of the current price adjusted for market expectations as to next year dividends indicated by related option premiums and excluding any off-cycle dividend payments. Once a month (five business days before the last trading day of the month) the Underlying Index components are screened for dividend cuts or an overall negative outlook concerning the companies’ dividend policy. If any changes need to be implemented, the Underlying Index will be adjusted at the close of the last trading day of the respective month. The composition of the Underlying Index is adjusted quarterly. The Underlying Index is constructed to limit turnover and excessive exposure to particular sectors, component weights, or other investment style factors, such as recently announced or implemented dividend cuts. The Underlying Index limits component turnover by permitting the retention of securities that were previously among the top 50 highest scoring securities, until they are no longer among the 75 highest scoring securities. The Underlying Index restricts exposure to a particular sector to 20% of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index only includes long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible). All component securities of the Underlying Index are dividend-paying securities whose yields are above the median for dividend-paying securities in the Parent Index.

The Underlying Index is maintained and calculated by the Index Provider, which is an organization that is independent of the Fund, Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor for the Fund (“Advisor”) and WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund, and an affiliate of the Advisor. The Index Provider determines the relative weightings of the securities in the Underlying Index and publishes information regarding the market value of the Underlying Index.

Under normal circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in the securities of the Underlying Index. The Fund’s 80% investment policy is non-fundamental and requires 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders before it can be changed.

The Sub-Advisor uses a “passive” or indexing approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to outperform the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.

The Fund generally will use a replication strategy. A replication strategy is an indexing strategy that involves investing in the securities of the Underlying Index in approximately the same proportions as in the Underlying Index. However, the Fund may utilize a representative sampling strategy with respect to the Underlying Index when a replication strategy might be detrimental or disadvantageous to shareholders, such as when there are practical difficulties or substantial costs involved in compiling a portfolio of equity securities to replicate the Underlying Index, in instances in which a security in the Underlying Index becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations (such as tax diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not the Underlying Index.

The Advisor expects that, over time, the correlation between the Fund’s performance and that of the Underlying Index, before fees and expenses, will exceed 95%. A correlation percentage of 100% would indicate perfect correlation. If the Fund uses a replication strategy, it can be expected to have greater correlation to the Underlying Index than if it uses a representative sampling strategy.

The Fund concentrates its investments (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in a particular industry or sector or group of industries or sectors to approximately the same extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated.

Principal Risks

Investors in the Fund should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the Shares and the possibility of significant losses. An investment in the Fund involves a substantial degree of risk and the Fund does not represent a complete investment program. As with all investments, you may lose money in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Therefore, you should consider carefully the following risks before investing in the Fund. A more complete discussion of Principal Risks is included under “Description of the Principal Risks of the Fund.”

Management Risk - As the Fund may not fully replicate the Underlying Index or may, in certain circumstances, use a representative sampling strategy, it is subject to the risk that the Sub-Advisor’s investment strategy may not produce the intended results.

Calculation Methodology Risk - The Index Provider relies on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Underlying Index (or its Parent Index), including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Index Provider, the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor, nor the Fund can offer assurances that the Index Provider’s calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers.

Index-Related Risk - There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to the Underlying Index and therefore achieve its investment objective. Market disruptions and regulatory restrictions could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to adjust its exposure to the required levels in order to track the Underlying Index. Errors in index data, index computations and/or the construction of the Underlying Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and corrected by the Index Provider for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders.

Investable Universe of Companies Risk - The investable universe of companies in which the Fund may invest may be limited. If a company no longer meets the Index Provider’s criteria for inclusion in the Underlying Index, the Fund may need to reduce or eliminate its holdings in that company. The reduction or elimination of the Fund’s holdings in the company may have an adverse impact on the liquidity of the Fund’s overall portfolio holdings and on Fund performance.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject the shareholders to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transaction costs, which can negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

Passive Investment Risk - The Fund is not actively managed and the Sub-Advisor does not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, it would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Fund’s return to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy.

High Dividend Yield Stocks Risk - High yielding stocks are often speculative, high risk investments. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund’s performance. Companies with high dividend yields are often sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Fund.

Equity Securities Risk - Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. If the Fund holds common stock or common stock equivalents of any given issuer, the Fund will generally be exposed to greater risk than if the Fund held preferred stocks and debt obligations of such issuer. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities, however, unlike common stocks, participation in the growth of an issuer may be limited. Warrants and rights do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle their holder to purchase, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer.

Issuer Risk - Fund performance depends on the performance of individual companies in which the Fund invests. Changes to the financial condition of any of those companies may cause the value of their securities to decline and thus have an adverse effect on the Fund’s performance.

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

Tracking Error Risk - The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, costs or liquidity constraints.

Valuation Risk - The sales price the Fund could receive for a security may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the security and may differ from the value used by the Underlying Index, particularly for securities that trade in low value or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. The value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund’s Shares.

Secondary Market Trading Risk - Investors buying or selling Shares in the secondary market may pay brokerage commissions, which may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Shares. Although Shares are expected to be listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk - The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“APs”) to create and redeem Fund Shares. To the extent that these APs exit the business or are unable to process creation and redemption orders and no other AP is able to step forward to create and redeem in either of these cases, then Fund Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face de-listing.

Concentration Risk - The Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund’s investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Underlying Index (and, therefore, the Fund’s investments) is concentrated in the securities of a particular issuer or issuers, country, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector (including the consumer discretionary sector) or asset class. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or a group of related industries, and the securities of companies in that industry or group of industries could react similarly to these or other developments. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in issuers in a single industry (or the same group of industries) or sector of the economy.

Consumer Discretionary Risk - The consumer discretionary sector includes companies that sell nonessential goods and services, including the retail, leisure and entertainment, media and automotive industries. These industries are particularly sensitive to changes in consumer spending and preferences. The consumer discretionary sector can be significantly affected by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition and consumer confidence. In addition, companies

in the consumer discretionary sector depend heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also affect the demand for, and success of, consumer discretionary products. The Fund’s performance may be affected by such susceptibilities if the Fund invests in this sector.

Risk of Investing in the United States - The Fund has significant exposure to U.S. issuers. Certain changes in the U.S. economy, such as when the U.S. economy weakens, its financial markets decline, or interest rates increase, may have an adverse effect on the securities to which the Fund has exposure.

Market Risk - The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. For example, there is the risk that sharp price declines in securities owned by the Fund, known as flash crash risk, may trigger trading halts, which may result in the Fund’s shares trading in the market at an increasingly large discount to NAV during part (or all) of a trading day. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, sanctions, trade and tariff disputes, epidemics, pandemics or other public health issue, recessions, or other events could have a significant and protracted impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value.

Share Trading Price Risk - Although it is expected that generally the exchange price of the Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares in the Secondary Market and the Fund’s NAV vary significantly.

Shares are Not Individually Redeemable - Shares are only redeemable by the Fund at NAV if they are tendered in large blocks known as “Creation Units” which are expected to be worth in excess of $1 million each. Only Authorized Participants (as defined below) may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Individual Shares may be sold on a stock exchange at their current market prices, which may be less, more, or equal to their NAV.

Management

Portfolio Managers. The portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund are as follows:

•Don Schreiber, Jr., co-portfolio manager. Mr. Schreiber founded the Sub-Advisor in 1984 and is its Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer. He has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since 2016.

Purchase and Sale of the Shares

Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in Creation Units comprised of blocks of 50,000 Shares, or whole multiples thereof. Only a broker-dealer (“Authorized Participant”) that enters into an appropriate agreement with the Fund’s Distributor (as defined below) may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund’s Creation Units generally are issued and redeemed “in-kind,” for securities in the Fund, but may also be issued and redeemed in cash. Retail investors may only acquire Shares on the NYSE Arca through a broker-dealer. Shares of the Fund will trade at market price rather than NAV. As such, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains.

Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund uses a rules-based methodology to implement a systematic strategy that directs exposure to either (i) U.S. large-capitalization equity securities, that WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund and an affiliate of Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor (“Advisor”), believes offer the potential for a high correlation to the performance of the broader U.S. large-capitalization equities market; or (ii) cash or cash equivalents. The Fund’s exposure direction is driven by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based equity model (the “Equity Model”) which utilizes a systematic approach analyzing macro-economic factors and technical market trends including, among others, those relating to monetary policy, valuation, sentiment and change in interest rates, to assess risk and generate their signals, and is described further below. Since cash and cash equivalents are among the investment opportunities evaluated by the Equity Model, the Fund may invest in and hold most, if not all, of its net assets in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment strategy.

When the Fund is invested in equity securities it will invest in U.S. large-capitalization equity securities, and ETFs or ETNs with exposure to U.S. large-capitalization equity securities. Large-capitalization companies are those that have higher market capitalization than small- and medium-capitalization companies in their primary market when ranked in order of market capital. For publicly-traded U.S. companies in the current environment, this would include companies with market capitalizations of greater than approximately $10 billion. When the Fund is not invested in equity securities, it will invest solely in cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity date that was three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.

The Fund uses the Equity Model, which directs exposure exclusively to either the equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies or exclusively to cash or cash equivalents. The purpose of the Equity Model is to assess conditions likely to affect the relative performance of the large-capitalization companies’ segment of the equity market with respect to its sensitivity to the then current level of market risk and respond to only those investment environments that are likely to produce significant changes in market performance. The Equity Model signals indicate whether market conditions call for the Fund to remain in either of its possible exposure positions. The Fund may remain in a particular exposure position for an extended period of time. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Equity Indicator of the Equity Model, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change.

The Equity Model is used by the Sub-Advisor to determine when the risk of investing in the U.S. large-capitalization equity market is high or low. The Equity Model relies on quantitative methods to assist the Sub-Advisor in forming its view of the risk associated with investment exposure to the U.S. large-capitalization equity market at any given time.

When the Equity Model signals that risk is low, this indicates that the Fund should have investment exposure to U.S. large-capitalization equities. When the Equity Model signals that risk is high, this indicates that the Fund should have investment exposure to cash or cash equivalents.

The various quantitative methods and analysis utilized in the Sub-Advisor’s Equity Model are based on numerous factors which may affect the value of a security or a broader group of securities. Primary factors evaluated by the Equity Model include:

•Macroeconomic (economy and industry conditions)

•Momentum (measurements of the rate-of-change in security prices)

•Sentiment (perception and beliefs of individuals regarding future expectations)

•Fundamental (company and industry valuation conditions), and

•Technical (indicators based upon historical security prices, volume and liquidity)

The Equity Model uses statistical forecasting techniques, such as regression analysis, to examine the relationship and influence that these factors may have on the risk associated with an investment in the U.S. large-capitalization equity market.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing the Equity Indicator’s recommendations and principally investing directly in the following different types of instruments:

•U.S. large-capitalization equities, and cash or cash equivalents (“Direct Investments”) which are:

◦equity securities including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, and shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); and

◦cash and cash equivalents including money market accounts, U.S. Treasury Bills, and commercial paper;

•Registered fund shares (“investment company shares”) where such funds’ portfolios primarily contain Direct Investments. Investment company shares through which the Fund obtains indirect exposure to Direct Investments include those issued by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); and

•Exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and listed and over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives whose performance is designed to track the performance of Direct Investments (such derivatives together with ETNs and investment company shares are referred to as “Indirect Investments”). Indirect Investments may include gaining exposure to Direct Investments through listed and OTC derivatives, including:

◦options on securities, indices, and futures contracts.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Sub-Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio. As a result, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund, especially during periods of significant volatility, may be high. The Sub-Advisor expects that the Fund’s investment strategy will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis. Since the Fund’s principal investment strategy is expected to result in a higher annual portfolio turnover rate than that of many other investment companies, the Fund may experience higher portfolio transaction costs and Shares held in taxable accounts may incur higher taxes than what may be experienced by other investment companies and their shares.

The Fund is considered to be diversified.

Principal Risks

Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment. You should understand these risks before investing.

Management Risk - An investment in the Fund varies with the success and failure of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies and the Sub-Advisor’s research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities. If the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies, including its quantitative models, do not produce the expected results, the market value or NAV of the Shares would decrease.

Quantitative Model Risk - The Sub-Advisor uses quantitative models in an effort to enhance returns and manage risk. Any imperfections, errors or limitations in these models could limit any benefit to the Fund from the use of the models, or could result in incorrect outputs or in investment outcomes different from or opposite to those expected or desired by the Sub-Advisor. There can be no assurance that the models will behave as expected in all market conditions. In addition, computer programming used to create quantitative models, or the data on which such models operate, might contain one or more errors.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject the shareholders to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transaction costs, which can negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

Investment Style Risk - The prices of bonds in the Fund’s portfolio may fall or fail to rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including both general financial market conditions and factors related to a specific issuer or industry. These risks are generally greater for small and medium-sized companies. The Fund may invest in securities, directly or indirectly, that are susceptible to specific investment risks.

Trend Lag Risk - Trend indicator signal changes pursuant to which Fund exposure and investments are determined, are designed to become effective in the Fund the business day following the indicator signal. As a result of this, the Fund may be exposed to downward trends and/or market volatility and may not achieve immediate exposure to upward trends and/or market volatility.

Equity Options Risk - Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities. Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. The successful use of options depends in part on the ability of the Sub-Advisor to manage future price fluctuations and the degree of correlation between the options and securities (or currency) markets. By writing put options on equity securities, the Fund would give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the common stocks above the strike prices of the written put options, but continues to bear the risk of declines in the value of its common stock portfolio. The Fund will receive a premium from writing a covered call option that it retains whether or not the option is exercised. The premium received from the written options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the underlying equity securities over time.

or an index (a measure of value or rates, such as the S&P 500® or the prime lending rate). The Fund may invest in futures contracts, swap agreements, forward contracts and options on securities, indices, and futures contracts. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices and thus the Fund’s losses may be greater if it invests in derivatives than if it invests only in conventional securities. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations. Derivatives generally involve the incurrence of leverage.

REIT Risk - Investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are more dependent upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, generally dependent on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders. REITs are subject to complex tax qualification and compliance rules. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and therefore Fund shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests.

Counterparty Risk - Many of the protections afforded to participants on some organized exchanges, such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house, are not available in connection with the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives transactions. In those instances, another ETF holding such derivatives (in which the Fund invests) will be subject to the risk that its direct counterparty will not perform its obligations under the transactions and that such ETF will sustain losses.

Government Obligations Risk - The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government. There can be no guarantee that the U.S. will be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to such securities. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time.

exchange’s limit-up, limit-down rules, it may have a cascading effect and cause the Fund to halt trading. Volatility in market prices will increase the risk of the Fund being subject to a trading halt.

Share Trading Price Risk - The Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca and will be bought and sold in the Secondary Market at market prices. Although it is expected that generally the exchange price of the Fund’s Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the exchange price and the NAV vary significantly. Thus, you may pay more than NAV when you buy Shares in the Secondary Market, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares in the Secondary Market.

The market price of Shares during the trading day, 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 Shares. In times of severe market disruption, the bid/ask spread can increase significantly. At those times, Shares are most likely to be traded at a discount to NAV, and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of Shares is falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your Shares. The Sub-Advisor believes that, under normal market conditions, large market price discounts or premiums to NAV will not be sustained because of arbitrage opportunities.

Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV - There is no obligation by any market maker to make a market in the Fund’s shares or by any AP to submit creation or redemption orders. Decisions by market makers or APs to reduce or step away from the Fund in a time of market stress could inhibit the arbitrage process by which a relationship between the Fund’s NAV per share and the market trading price of the shares is maintained. Thus, reduced effectiveness of the arbitrage function could result in Fund shares trading at a discount to NAV per share and also with greater than normal intra-day bid/ask spreads.

Performance Information

As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund has not yet commenced operations and therefore does not report its performance information. When the Fund has been in operation for one full calendar year, performance information will be shown here. Updated performance information will be available on www.wbietfs.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at (855) WBI-ETFS or (855) 924-3837.

Management

Portfolio Managers. The portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund are as follows:

•Don Schreiber, Jr., co-portfolio manager. Mr. Schreiber founded the Sub-Advisor in 1984 and is its Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer. He has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since inception.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in Creation Units comprised of blocks of 25,000 Shares, or whole multiples thereof. Only a broker-dealer (“Authorized Participant”) that enters into an appropriate agreement with the Fund’s distributor may engage in such creation and redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund’s Creation Units generally are issued and redeemed “in-kind,” for securities in the Fund, but may also be issued and redeemed in cash. Retail investors may acquire Shares on the NYSE Arca through a broker-dealer. Shares of the Fund will trade at market price rather than NAV. As such, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are taxable and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund uses a rules-based methodology to implement a systematic strategy that directs exposure to either (i) U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity securities, that WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund and an affiliate of Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor (“Advisor”), believes offer the potential for a high correlation to the performance of the broader U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equities market; or (ii) cash or cash equivalents. The Fund’s exposure direction is driven by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based equity model (the “Equity Model”) which utilizes a systematic approach analyzing macro-economic factors and technical market trends including, among others, those relating to monetary policy, valuation, sentiment and change in interest rates, to assess risk and generate their signals, and is described further below. Since cash and cash equivalents are among the investment opportunities evaluated by the Equity Model, the Fund may invest in and hold most, if not all, of its net assets in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment strategy.

When the Fund is invested in equity securities it will invest in U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity securities, and ETFs or ETNs with exposure to U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity securities. Small-capitalization and medium-sized capitalization companies are those that have lower market capitalization than large-capitalization companies in their primary market. For publicly-traded U.S. companies in the current environment, this would include companies with market capitalizations of less than approximately $10 billion. When the Fund is not invested in equity securities, it will invest solely in cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity date that was three (3) months or less at the time of purchase. The investment process used for the Fund attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be. This is the Fund’s definition of an absolute return approach to investment management, and such an approach is used (in part) to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

The Fund uses the Equity Model, which directs exposure exclusively to either the equity securities of U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization companies or exclusively to cash or cash equivalents. The purpose of the Equity Model is to assess conditions likely to affect the relative performance of the small and medium-sized capitalization companies’ segment of the equity market with respect to its sensitivity to the then current level of market risk and respond to only those investment environments that are likely to produce significant changes in market performance. The Equity Model signals indicate whether market conditions call for the Fund to remain in either of its possible exposure positions. The Fund may remain in a particular exposure position for an extended period of time. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Equity Indicator of the Equity Model, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change.

The Equity Model is used by the Sub-Advisor to determine when the risk of investing in the U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity market is high or low. The Equity Model relies on quantitative methods to assist the Sub-Advisor in forming its view of the risk associated with investment exposure to the U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity market at any given time.

When the Equity Model signals that risk is low, this indicates that the Fund should have investment exposure to U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equities. When the Equity Model signals that risk is high, this indicates that the Fund should have investment exposure to cash or cash equivalents.

•Macroeconomic (economy and industry conditions)

•Momentum (measurements of the rate-of-change in security prices)

•Sentiment (perception and beliefs of individuals regarding future expectations)

•Fundamental (company and industry valuation conditions), and

•Technical (indicators based upon historical security prices, volume and liquidity)

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing the Equity Indicator’s recommendations and principally investing directly in the following different types of instruments:

•U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equities, and cash or cash equivalents (“Direct Investments”) which are:

◦equity securities including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, and shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); and

◦cash and cash equivalents including money market accounts, U.S. Treasury Bills, and commercial paper; and

•Registered fund shares (“investment company shares”) where such funds’ portfolios primarily contain Direct Investments. Investment company shares through which the fund obtains in to Direct Investments includes those issued by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”); and

◦futures contracts, swap agreements, and forward contracts; and

◦options on securities, indices, and futures contracts.

The Fund is considered to be diversified.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund uses a rules-based methodology to implement a systematic strategy which directs exposure to either (i) U.S. large-capitalization equity securities, that WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund and an affiliate of Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor (“Advisor”), believes offer the potential for a high correlation to the performance of the broader U.S. large-capitalization equities market; or (ii) U.S. fixed income securities that the Sub-Advisor, believes display attractive prospects for current income with the potential for long-term capital appreciation under then current market conditions. The Fund’s exposure direction is driven first by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based equity model (the “Equity Model”), and subsequently, if applicable, by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based bond model (the “Bond Model”). Both the Equity Model and the Bond Model (referred to together as, the “Models”) utilize a systematic approach analyzing macro-economic factors and technical market trends including, among others, those relating to commodities, monetary policy, valuation, sentiment and change in interest rates, to assess risk and generate their signals, and are described further below. Since cash and cash equivalents are among the investment opportunities evaluated by the Models, the Fund may invest in and hold most, if not all, of its net assets in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment strategy.

When the Fund is not invested in equity securities, it will invest debt securities selected on the basis of the Sub-Advisor’s assessment of the risks in the U.S. fixed income market using its Bond Model. The purpose of the Bond Model is to assess conditions likely to affect the relative performance of selected segments of the fixed income market with respect to their sensitivity to credit quality and duration. The types of debt securities in which the Fund will invest are U.S. treasuries, U.S. investment grade corporate bonds, and U.S. high yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), and ETFs and ETNs with exposure to the debt securities described. The Fund expects to invest in debt securities of short and long durations, depending on the Sub-Advisor’s assessment of the risks along the yield curve. The yield curve refers to differences in yield among debt assets of varying maturities.

The Funds defines a total return fund as one that seeks to maximize gains from both income generating investments, such as bonds and dividend paying stocks, while simultaneously aiming to invest in assets which will experience capital appreciation, and as such these approaches are used (in part) to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

The Fund uses the Equity Model, which directs exposure exclusively either to the equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies or exclusively to U.S. fixed income securities under the Bond Model. The purpose of the Equity Model is to assess conditions likely to affect the relative performance of the large-capitalization companies’ segment of the U.S. equity market with respect to its sensitivity to the then current level of market risk and respond to only those investment environments that are likely to produce significant changes in market performance. The Equity Model signals indicate whether market conditions call for the Fund to remain in either of its possible exposure positions. The Fund may remain in a particular exposure position for an extended period of

time. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Equity Indicator of the Equity Model, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change.

•Macroeconomic (economy and industry conditions)

•Momentum (measurements of the rate-of-change in security prices)

•Sentiment (perception and beliefs of individuals regarding future expectations)

•Fundamental (company and industry valuation conditions), and

•Technical (indicators based upon historical security prices, volume and liquidity)

When the Equity Indicator recommends that the Fund’s exposure be to U.S. fixed income securities, the Fund uses the Bond Model, which directs investment exposure to debt securities (or bonds) of a particular duration and credit quality. Duration is a measure of a debt security’s expected price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Debt security prices typically have an inverse relationship with interest rates. Rising interest rates indicate that debt security prices are likely to decline, while declining interest rates indicate that debt security prices are likely to rise. As a general rule, for every 1% increase or decrease in interest rates, a debt security’s price will change approximately 1% in the opposite direction for every year of duration. For example, if a bond has a duration of three years and interest rates increase by 1%, the bond’s price is expected to decline by approximately 3%. Credit quality is a measure of a borrower’s (or bond issuer’s) creditworthiness or risk of default. A company or bond’s credit quality may also be known as its “bond rating” as determined by private independent rating agencies such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. Each rating agency has its own credit quality designations which typically range from high (‘AAA’ to ‘AA’) to medium (‘A’ to ‘BBB’) to low (‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CC’ to ‘C’).

The Bond Model generates both a credit quality signal and a duration signal. The combination of the Bond Model’s credit quality signal and the duration signal indicates the recommended debt security exposure. For example, the Bond Model’s credit quality signal may indicate that exposure to relatively lower rated debt securities is appropriate. Simultaneously, the Bond Model’s duration signal may indicate that exposure to relatively short duration debt securities is appropriate. In this example, the combination of the two Bond Model signals would indicate that exposure to lower rated debt securities with short duration is appropriate. Market conditions may call for the Fund to remain in any of the possible exposure positions for an extended period of time. The Fund will change its exposure position

based on the following signals, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change.

The Sub-Advisor’s credit quality signal indicates the fixed income credit quality that current conditions are more likely to favor among U.S. Treasuries, U.S. investment grade bonds, or U.S. high yield bonds on the basis of credit quality probability and credit condition momentum analysis. Credit quality probability analysis seeks to predict which of the three possible credit quality debt securities market segments is likely to perform best in the subsequent week. Credit momentum analysis seeks to determine whether a change in the current credit state will be recommended.

The Sub-Advisor’s duration signal indicates whether current conditions are more likely to favor bonds of short or long maturities on the basis of duration probability and duration momentum analysis. Duration probability analysis seeks to predict whether long or short duration exposure to the credit quality debt securities determined by the credit quality signal is likely to perform best in the subsequent week. Duration momentum analysis seeks to determine whether a change in the current duration will be recommended.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by implementing the Equity Indicator’s recommendations, and when the Equity Indicator recommends that the Fund’s exposure be to U.S. fixed income securities, following the Bond Model signals, in each instance principally investing directly in the following different types of instruments:

•U.S. large-capitalization equities, and cash or cash equivalents (“Direct Investments”) which are:

•equity securities including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, and shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); and

•cash and cash equivalents including money market accounts, U.S. Treasury Bills, and commercial paper; and

•U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Bonds, and U.S. High Yield Bonds issued by the U.S. government and U.S. public and private companies (“Direct Investments”); and

•Exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and listed and over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives whose performance is designed to track the performance of Direct Investments (such derivatives together with ETNs and investment company shares are referred to as “Indirect Investments”). Indirect Investments include gaining exposure to Direct Investments through listed and OTC derivatives, including:

◦futures contracts, swap agreements, and forward contracts; and

◦options on securities, indices, and futures contracts.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Sub-Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio. As a result, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund, especially during periods of significant volatility, may be high. The Sub-Advisor expects that the Fund’s investment strategy will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 300% on an annual basis. Since the Fund’s principal investment strategy is expected to result in a higher annual portfolio turnover rate than that of many other investment companies, the

Fund may experience higher portfolio transaction costs and Shares held in taxable accounts may incur higher taxes than what may be experienced by other investment companies and their shares.

The Fund is considered to be diversified.

Principal Risks

Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment. You should understand these risks before investing.

Management Risk - An investment in the Fund varies with the success and failure of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies and the Sub-Advisor’s research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities. If the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies, including its quantitative models, do not produce the expected results, the market value or NAV of the Shares would decrease.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject the shareholders to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transaction costs, which can negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

Interest Rate Risk - The Fund’s performance may be adversely impacted when interest rates fall because the Fund may be exposed, directly or indirectly, to lower-yielding bonds. This risk may increase as bonds in the Fund’s portfolio mature. Interest rate risk is typically greater with respect to exposure to long-term bonds (or long-term bond funds) and lower for short-term bonds (or short-term bond funds).

Debt Securities Risk - The market value of debt securities held by the Fund typically changes as interest rates change, as demand for the instruments changes, and as actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer changes. Additionally, debt securities with longer durations are expected to experience greater price movements than securities with shorter durations for the same change in prevailing interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the market value of the debt securities held by the Fund will generally decline. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high-yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading opportunities for certain debt securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.

Derivatives Risk - A derivative is a financial contract, the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, such as a security, a commodity (such as gold or silver), a currency or an index (a measure of value or rates, such as the S&P 500® or the prime lending rate). The Fund may invest in futures contracts, swap agreements, forward contracts and options on securities, indices, and futures contracts. Compared to conventional securities, derivatives can be more sensitive to changes in interest rates or to sudden fluctuations in market prices and thus the Fund’s losses may be greater if it invests in derivatives than if it invests only in conventional securities. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligations. Derivatives generally involve the incurrence of leverage.

the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs are more dependent upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, generally dependent on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders. REITs are subject to complex tax qualification and compliance rules. In addition, REITs have their own expenses, and therefore Fund shareholders will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses of REITs in which the Fund invests.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund uses a rules-based methodology to implement a systematic strategy that directs exposure to either (i) U.S. small- and medium-sized capitalization equity securities, that WBI Investments, Inc., the sub-advisor (“Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund and an affiliate of Millington Securities, Inc., the advisor (“Advisor”), believes offer the potential for a high correlation to the performance of the broader U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equities market; or (ii) U.S. fixed income securities that the Sub-Advisor, believes display attractive prospects for current income with the potential for long-term capital appreciation under then current market conditions. The Fund’s exposure direction is driven first by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based equity model (the “Equity Model”), and then, if applicable, by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary rules-based bond model (the “Bond Model”). Both the Equity Model and the Bond Model (referred to together as, the “Models”) utilize a systematic approach analyzing macro-economic factors and technical market trends including, among others, those relating to commodities, monetary policy, valuation, sentiment and change in interest rates, to assess risk and generate their signals, and are described further below. Since cash and cash equivalents are among the investment opportunities evaluated by the Models, the Fund may invest in and hold most, if not all, of its net assets in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment strategy.

The Fund uses the Equity Model, which directs exposure exclusively to either the equity securities of U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization companies or exclusively to U.S. fixed income securities under the Bond Model. The purpose of the Equity Model is to assess conditions likely to affect the relative performance of the small and medium-sized capitalization companies’ segment of the U.S. equity market with respect to its sensitivity to the then current level of market risk and respond to only those investment environments that are likely to produce significant changes in market performance.

The Equity Model signals indicate whether market conditions call for the Fund to remain in either of its possible exposure positions. The Fund may remain in a particular exposure position for an extended period of time. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Equity Indicator of the Equity Model, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change. The Equity Model is used by the Sub-Advisor to determine when the risk of investing in the U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity market is high or low. The Equity Model relies on quantitative methods to assist the Sub-Advisor in forming its view of the risk associated with investment exposure to the U.S. small and medium-sized capitalization equity market at any given time.

•Macroeconomic (economy and industry conditions)

•Momentum (measurements of the rate-of-change in security prices)

•Sentiment (perception and beliefs of individuals regarding future expectations)

•Fundamental (company and industry valuation conditions), and

•Technical (indicators based upon historical security prices, volume and liquidity)

with short duration is appropriate. Market conditions may call for the Fund to remain in any of the possible exposure positions for an extended period of time. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the following signals, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change.

The Sub-Advisor’s credit quality signal indicates the fixed income credit quality that current conditions are more likely to favor among U.S. treasuries, U.S. investment grade bonds, or U.S. high yield bonds on the basis of credit quality probability and credit condition momentum analysis. Credit quality probability analysis seeks to predict which of the three possible credit quality debt securities market segments is likely to perform best in the subsequent week. Credit momentum analysis seeks to determine whether a change in the current credit state will be recommended.

Principal Risks

Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks could affect the value of your investment. You should understand these risks before investing.

Management Risk - An investment in the Fund varies with the success and failure of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies and the Sub-Advisor’s research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities. If the Sub-Advisor’s investment process and strategies, including its quantitative models, do not produce the expected results, the market value or NAV of the Shares would decrease.

Portfolio Turnover Risk - A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject the shareholders to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transaction costs, which can negatively affect the Fund’s performance.

including those devised by the Sub-Advisor, will be profitable for the Fund, and may result in a loss of principal.

such issuer. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and market risks applicable generally to equity securities, however, unlike common stocks, participation in the growth of an issuer may be limited. Warrants and rights do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle their holder to purchase, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer.

Debt Securities Risk - The market value of debt securities held by the Fund typically changes as interest rates change, as demand for the instruments changes, and as actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer changes. Additionally, debt securities with longer durations are expected to experience greater price movements than securities with shorter durations for the same change in prevailing interest rates. During periods of rising interest rates, the market value of the debt securities held by the Fund will generally decline. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high-yielding bonds before their maturity dates. Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading opportunities for certain debt securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.

exchange price of the Fund’s Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the exchange price and the NAV vary significantly. Thus, you may pay more than NAV when you buy Shares in the Secondary Market, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares in the Secondary Market.

OVERVIEW

The Funds are series of the Absolute Shares Trust, a Delaware statutory trust registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which consists of separate series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). ETFs are funds whose shares are listed on a stock exchange and trade like equity securities at market prices. ETFs, such as the Funds, allow you to buy or sell shares that represent the collective performance of a selected group of securities. ETFs are designed to add the flexibility, ease, and liquidity of stock-trading to the benefits of traditional investing in actively-managed mutual funds. Unlike shares of a mutual fund, which can be bought and redeemed from the issuing fund by all shareholders at a price based on net asset value (“NAV”), shares of the Funds may be purchased or redeemed directly from the Funds at NAV solely by Authorized Participants (“APs”). Also unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Funds are listed on a national securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.

All of the Funds, except the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF, are actively-managed ETFs that do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

The WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF is a passively-managed ETF that seeks to replicate the performance of the Solactive Power Factor® High Dividend Index (the “Underlying Index”). Similar to shares of an index mutual fund, each share of the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF represents an ownership interest in an underlying portfolio of securities and other instruments intended to track a market index. An index is a financial calculation, based on a grouping of financial instruments, that is not an investment product, while the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF is an actual investment portfolio. The performance of the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF and the Underlying Index may vary for a number of reasons, including transaction costs, asset valuations, corporate actions (such as mergers and spin-offs), timing variances and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from the Fund’s use of representative sampling or from legal restrictions (such as diversification requirements) that apply to the Fund but not to the Underlying Index. “Tracking error” is the divergence of the performance (return) of the Fund’s portfolio from that of the Underlying Index. WBI Investments, Inc. (the “Sub-Advisor”) expects that, over time, the Fund’s tracking error will not exceed 5%.

This Prospectus provides the information you need to make an informed decision about investing in the Funds. It contains important facts about the Trust and each Fund.

Millington Securities, Inc. (“Advisor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of WBI Trading Company, Inc., is the investment advisor to each Fund. The Advisor has selected the Sub-Advisor, an affiliate of WBI Trading Company, Inc., to act as the sub-advisor to each Fund and to be responsible for the day-to-day investment management of each Fund.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL STRATEGIES OF THE FUNDS

Principal Investment Strategies For:

WBI BullBear Value 3000 ETF

WBI BullBear Yield 3000 ETF

WBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF

Unless otherwise noted, the following Principal Investment Strategies are used by each of the Funds listed above.

Securities are selected for a given Fund on the basis of the Sub-Advisor’s investment process which includes a buy and a sell discipline. The Funds’ buy discipline is primarily driven by the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary selection process (“Selection Process”). The Selection Process used for a Fund attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be.

The types of equity securities in which each Fund will generally invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, ETFs, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and master limited partnerships (businesses organized as partnerships which trade on public exchanges) (“MLPs”). The types of debt securities in which each Fund will generally invest include: corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, foreign sovereign debt securities, U.S. Government agency securities, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), ETFs and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), and variable and floating rate securities. An ETN is an unsecured debt security that trades on an established exchange. Its underlying value is determined by reference to an index, commodity, interest rate or other objectively determined reference. (Such ETFs and ETNs are referred to collectively as “exchange-traded products” or “ETPs”). Each Fund expects to invest in debt securities of all maturities, from less than one year up to thirty years, depending on the portfolio managers’ assessment of the risks and opportunities along the yield curve. (The yield curve refers to differences in yield among debt assets of varying maturities).

Each Fund may invest without limitation in securities of foreign issuers, and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in the securities of issuers located in emerging markets. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in high-yield bonds. Each Fund may also invest without limitation in other investment companies, including other ETFs.

Although each Fund is limited as to the percentage of its net assets that may be directly invested in certain asset classes, each Fund may obtain investment exposure to such asset classes in excess of such limits by investing indirectly in such asset classes through other investment companies, including other ETFs with exposure to such asset classes. Consequently, investments in such pooled investment vehicles may result in aggregate direct and indirect investment exposure to an asset class in excess of the limit up to which the applicable Fund may invest directly in such assets.

While many investment managers attempt to perform well relative to a fluctuating market index or benchmark, the risk-managed investment approach used for each Fund by the Sub-Advisor attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be. This is the Sub-Advisor’s definition of an absolute return approach to investment management, and such an approach is used (in part) to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Each Fund uses quantitative screening of fundamental information to evaluate securities in an attempt to find the most attractive opportunities. Once securities are identified, an overlay of technical analysis may be used to confirm timeliness of security purchases.

The Sub-Advisor also attempts to identify the appropriate duration and credit quality of any debt securities exposure. Duration is a measure of a fixed income security’s expected price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Credit quality is a measure of a borrower’s creditworthiness or risk of

default. A portion of each Fund’s exposure may also be invested to pursue perceived tactical opportunities in varying segments of the equity or debt markets. The Sub-Advisor then purchases qualifying securities using available cash. This systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and purchasing securities constitutes the Sub-Advisor’s buy discipline for the Fund.

ETFs may be used to provide access to various debt markets, commodities, hedging, or other strategies. ETFs may also be used for exposure to domestic and international equities classified by company size, characteristics, country or region, and industry groups.

The Sub-Advisor maintains a sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each Fund asset on each Fund’s NAV. This sell discipline, together with the buy discipline, constitutes each Fund’s strategy to achieve its investment objective. If a Fund asset’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the Fund asset will continue to be held. If a Fund asset’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the Fund asset will be identified to sell. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested, or by raising cash to protect capital. During periods of high market volatility, a significant amount of Fund assets may be sold, resulting in a significant allocation to cash in a Fund.

Each Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Sub-Advisor actively manages the Fund’s portfolio. As a result, the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund will be high. The Sub-Advisor expects that the Fund’s investment strategy will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.

Each Fund may use a variety of equity option strategies in an attempt to enhance return or to mitigate risk and volatility. Each Fund may write covered calls, which is the sale of call options on securities held by the Fund to generate current income in exchange for the right of the option buyer to purchase the security on or before a specified date at a predetermined price, irrespective of the market price. If the security’s market price moves above the option’s exercise (or “strike” price) while the option is in effect, a Fund risks receiving less than the market price for the security if the option is exercised. The difference between the market price and exercise price can offset the decline in the security’s value equal to the premium it received for writing the option. The premium received by each Fund for the sale of the option offsets declines in the security’s price up to the amount of the premium, thereby mitigating the risk of owning the security and the effects of a price decline in the security on the value and volatility of Fund shares. Each Fund may also buy call options, which give such Fund the right to pay a predetermined price for the receipt of a security on or before a specified date, irrespective of the market price of the security. Each Fund may also buy put options, which give such Fund the right to receive a predetermined price for the delivery of a security on or before a specified date, irrespective of the market price of the security. This limits the potential loss from a decline in the price of a security to the option’s strike price plus the cost of the option. Combinations of writing calls and using the proceeds to buy puts can be used by a Fund to limit (or “collar”) the risk of price declines in a held security, while reducing or eliminating the cost of implementing the option pair strategy (“zero cost collar”). While the premium received for the call may offset some or all of the cost of the put, gains in the security’s price above the call’s exercise price are given up in exchange for protection from losses below the exercise price of the put purchased. Buying and selling other combinations of calls and puts with differing expiration dates and/or strike prices can be varied and used with similar objectives as single option strategies, such as to generate income and/or mitigate the risk of owning a security, but at particular price ranges, time frames, total risk exposures, or implementation costs. Options may also be used to facilitate entering into or exiting from a security with limited trading volume relative to the size of the position held or intended to be held, and may be purchased or sold to close out an existing option position of each Fund. An option on a security that is not exercised prior to its

expiration becomes worthless, resulting in a gain to the option seller equal to the amount of the option premium received and a loss to the option buyer equal to the amount of the option premium paid. Options on indices may be used to enhance return and/or mitigate the risk to the value of a Fund’s share price due to market movements. Option strategies incur transaction costs, which affect their after-cost effectiveness.

Principal Investment Strategies For:

WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF

Unless otherwise noted, the following Principal Investment Strategies are used by the Fund listed above.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) in securities included in the Underlying Index.

The Sub-Advisor anticipates that, generally, the Fund will hold all of the securities that comprise the Underlying Index in approximate proportion to their respective weightings in the Underlying Index. However, under various circumstances, it may not be possible or practicable to purchase all of those securities in those weightings. In these circumstances, the Fund may purchase a representative sample of securities in the Underlying Index. There also may be instances in which the Sub-Advisor may choose to underweight or overweight a security in the Fund’s Underlying Index, purchase securities not in the Fund’s Underlying Index that the Sub-Advisor believes are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in the Underlying Index or utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their removal from the Underlying Index or purchase securities not represented in the Underlying Index in anticipation of their addition to the Underlying Index. The Fund may also, in order to comply with the tax diversification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), temporarily invest in securities not included in the Underlying Index that are expected to replicate the performance of securities included in the Underlying Index.

Given the Fund’s investment objective of attempting to track its Underlying Index, the Fund does not follow traditional methods of active investment management, which may involve buying and selling securities based upon analysis of economic and market factors. Also, unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not attempt to outperform the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.

The Index Provider maintains and calculates the Underlying Index in accordance with a rules-based methodology that involves selecting equity securities from the Parent Index with an above-average forecasted dividend yield, scored on the basis of three fundamental value characteristics or Power Factors®: Trailing 12-month diluted earnings from continuing operations to price ratio (E/P); Trailing 12-month free cash flow to price ratio (FCF/P); and Trailing 12-month sales to price ratio (S/P). The Parent Index includes large, mid- and small-cap securities listed in the U.S., including approximately the 3,000 largest U.S. companies that are selected and weighted according to free float market capitalization. The Parent Index is adjusted semi-annually in May and November. Issuers undergoing initial public offerings may be added to the Parent Index on a quarterly basis, consistent with the Parent Index’s selection methodology.

The Underlying Index is constructed by scoring each ordinary dividend paying, common stock constituent from the Parent Index both directly and relative to industry peers using the three Power

Factors® and ranking those securities in descending order according to their dividend indicated yield. The 50 companies with the largest dividend indicated yield, subject to certain asset diversification and liquidity requirements, are chosen as Underlying Index components. Dividend indicated yield is the total prior year dividend payments of a security expressed as a percentage of the current price adjusted for market expectations as to next year dividends indicated by related option premiums and excluding any off-cycle dividend payments. Once a month (five business days before the last trading day of the month) the Underlying Index components are screened for dividend cuts or an overall negative outlook concerning the companies’ dividend policy. If any changes need to be implemented, the Underlying Index will be adjusted at the close of the last trading day of the respective month. The composition of the Underlying Index is adjusted quarterly. The Underlying Index is constructed to limit turnover and excessive exposure to particular sectors, component weights, or other investment style factors, such as recently announced or implemented dividend cuts. The Underlying Index limits component turnover by permitting the retention of securities that were previously among the top 50 highest scoring securities, until they are no longer among the 75 highest scoring securities. The Underlying Index restricts exposure to a particular sector to 20% of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index only includes long positions (i.e., short positions are impermissible). All component securities of the Underlying Index are dividend-paying securities whose yields are above the median for dividend-paying securities in the Parent Index.

Principal Investment Strategies For:

WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 ETF

WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 ETF

WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 Total Return ETF

WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 Total Return ETF

Unless otherwise noted, the following Principal Investment Strategies are used by each of the Funds listed above. The WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 ETF, WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 ETF, WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 Total Return ETF, and WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 Total Return ETF had not yet commenced operations as of June 30, 2022.

The types of equity securities in which each Fund will generally invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, ETFs, and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The types of debt securities in which each Fund will generally invest include: corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), ETFs, exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”) and, variable and floating rate securities. An ETN is an unsecured debt security that trades on an established exchange. Its underlying value is determined by reference to an index, commodity, interest rate or other objectively determined reference. (Such ETFs and ETNs are referred to collectively as “exchange-traded products” or “ETPs”). Each Total Return Fund expects to invest in debt securities of both long and short maturities, depending on the portfolio managers’ assessment of the risks and opportunities along the yield curve. The yield curve refers to differences in yield among debt assets of varying maturities. All of the other Funds will invest in cash or cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments with a maturity date that was three (3) months or less at the time of purchase.

During periods of high market volatility, a significant amount of Fund assets may be sold, resulting in a significant allocation to cash or cash equivalents in a Fund.

Each Fund is an actively managed ETF. The Sub-Advisor actively manages each Fund’s portfolio. As a result, the portfolio turnover rate for the Funds, especially during periods of significant volatility,

may be high. The Sub-Advisor expects that the Funds’ investment strategies will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 300% on an annual basis. Since the Funds’ principal investment strategies are expected to result in a higher annual portfolio turnover rate than that of many other investment companies, the Funds may experience higher portfolio transaction costs and Shares held in taxable accounts may incur higher taxes than what may be experienced by other investment companies and their shares.

Each Fund seeks to achieve current income or the potential for current income, with long-term capital appreciation, or the potential for long-term capital appreciation, while also seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions. They do so by employing various quantitative models to select securities, including either the Sub-Advisor’s proprietary Bond Model, its Equity Model, or a combination thereof.

Both the Bond Model and Equity Model utilize a systematic approach, analyzing macro-economic factors and technical market trends including, among others, those relating to commodities, monetary policy, valuation, sentiment and change in interest rates, to assess risk and generate their signals. The Bond Model generates first a credit quality signal and then a duration signal. Credit quality probability analysis seeks to predict which of the three possible credit quality debt securities market segments is likely to perform best in the subsequent week. Duration probability analysis seeks to predict whether long or short duration exposure to the credit quality debt securities determined by the credit quality signal is likely to perform best in the subsequent week. The intersection of the credit quality signals and the duration signals provides the recommended debt security exposure.

Alternatively, WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 ETF (“1000 ETF”) and WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 ETF (“2000 ETF”) and together with 1000 ETF, the (“Equity ETFs”) will exclusively employ the Equity Model, which utilizes many of the same factors as the Bond Model, to assess risk and generate its signals. The Equity ETFs will direct exposure exclusively to either the equity securities of U.S. large, mid-sized or small-capitalization companies, as appropriate for the Fund, or exclusively to cash or cash equivalents. The Equity Model signals indicate whether market conditions call for the Fund to remain in either of its possible exposure positions. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Sub-Advisor’s Equity Indicator (“Equity Indicator”), which based on certain regression analysis, return forecast results and quantitative risk assessment, indicates risk of equity markets to be high or low, and will accordingly make a recommendation for the Fund’s exposure to cash or cash equivalents. The Fund will change its exposure position based on the Equity Indicator, and each change will become effective on the business day after the indicator signals change. The Equity ETFs will invest in securities including common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles, and shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”); cash and cash equivalents including money market accounts, U.S. Treasury Bills, and commercial paper, and ETFs and ETNs with exposure to the equity and debt securities described.

WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 1000 Total Return ETF (“1000 Total Return ETF”) and WBI BullBear Trend Switch US 2000 Total Return ETF (“2000 Total Return ETF”), (collectively, the “Equity Total Return ETFs”), will seek to employ a combination of the Bond Model and the Equity Model. The Equity Total Return ETFs will implement a systematic strategy which directs exposure first either to the equity securities of U.S. large, mid-sized or small-capitalization, as appropriate for the Fund, or to U.S. fixed income securities, and ETFs and ETNs with exposure to the equity and debt securities described. The Equity Total Return ETFs utilize the Equity Indicator, which, based on certain regression analysis, return forecast results and quantitative risk assessment, indicates risk of equity markets to be high or low, and will recommend accordingly employing the Equity Model, for

exposures to equity securities, or to U.S. fixed income securities, as directed by the Bond Model, if applicable.

The five Funds that employ the Equity Model in their strategies are further distinguished by the market capitalization of the equity securities that are eligible for each such Fund. The 1000 ETF and the 1000 Total Return ETF seek equity exposure exclusively to the equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies. The 2000 ETF and 2000 Total Return ETF seek equity exposure exclusively to the equity securities of U.S. small and mid-capitalization companies. The Sub-Advisor currently defines U.S. large-capitalization companies as having market capitalization in excess of approximately $10 billion in their primary market. Small- and mid-capitalization companies are those that have lower market capitalization than large-capitalization companies in their primary market.

ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The additional investment strategies outlined below do not represent and are distinct from the principal investment strategies of each Fund. Each of the policies described herein, including the investment objective of a Fund, constitutes a non-fundamental policy that may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders. Certain fundamental policies of each Fund are set forth in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) under “Investment Restrictions”.

The WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF may invest in one or more financial instruments, including but not limited to futures contracts, swap agreements and forward contracts, reverse repurchase agreements, and options on securities, indices, and futures contracts.

The WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities and other instruments not included in the Underlying Index but which the Sub-Advisor believes will assist the Fund in replicating the performance of the Underlying Index, such as, among other instruments, futures (including index futures), swaps, other derivatives, investment companies (including ETFs), preferred stocks, warrants and rights, cash and cash equivalents and money market instruments.

Securities Lending

The Funds may lend their portfolio securities. In connection with such loans, the Funds receive liquid collateral equal to at least 102% of the value of the portfolio securities being lent (and at least 105% for foreign securities of the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF). This collateral is marked to market on a daily basis.

Temporary or Cash Investments (not applicable to the WBI Power Factor® High Dividend ETF)

In addition to holding cash as part of its principal investment strategy, each applicable Fund may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by making investments in cash, cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities, and money market instruments for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic, or political conditions. This may result in a Fund not achieving its investment objectives during that period.

Borrowing Money

Each Fund 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 or other regulatory agency with authority over the Fund, but only for temporary or emergency purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUNDS
