Market Performance

October 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

Through the first three quarters of 2022, equity investors faced one of the most challenging stock market environments in decades. The US Federal Reserve continued its policy of raising interest rates aggressively to combat near record breaking inflation in the United States. While these policy moves appeared to begin to taper inflation, it significantly impacted valuations in stocks, especially those deemed to be growth oriented. Bonds, often the defensive alternative to stock market volatility, also suffered in 2022 due to rising interest rates. Adding to the downward pressure on equities in 2022 was rising geopolitical tensions. Russia’s invasion and war with Ukraine continued to keep markets on edge throughout the year due to the potential for escalation into broader conflict. In addition, China expanded its influence and presence in Hong Kong and the South China Sea, worrying the South Pacific region and allies including the US. Perhaps more controversially, the status of Taiwan became a growing wedge issue between China and the US. These tensions weighed on markets throughout 2022 and will continue to do so as these situations evolve.

The broad-based S&P 500 index declined 17.75% year to date which placed it near bear market territory after having seen even lower levels earlier in the year. Reviewing the eleven sectors that comprise the S&P 500 index shows a variety of significant performance differences through end of October 2022. In general, the more a sector had growth stock exposure, the worse it performed. On the other hand, sectors dominated by value stocks had much more attractive relative performance. Leading the pack with just over a 67% gain was the Energy sector. Energy stocks continued to see their products increase in demand as the economy worldwide ramped up from the COVID slowdown of 2020. In addition, the war in Ukraine continued to negatively impact the supply of oil due to sanctions on Russian oil. In short, it was an outstanding year for the Energy sector as it was the only positive sector in the S&P 500.

Coming in a distant second through fourth place were sectors down single digits which in 2022 was a win versus the S&P 500. Consumer Staples, Health Care, Utilities, and Industrials declined between 3.9 – 9.7% in 2022. These value focused sectors were simply less impacted than growth sectors due to lower price to earnings valuations to begin with. Moving to the sectors that were down mid double digits were the Financial sector off 11.73% and the Materials sector off 16.92%. These sectors were the buffer between the single digit losers and the rest of the S&P 500 sectors which lost 25% or more for the year. Technology, Real Estate, Consumer Discretionary and Communications sectors lost between 25 – 37% in 2022.

Looking forward to 2023, US investors will be watching the Federal Reserve’s pace of interest rate increases, inflation data and geopolitical tensions with nations including China, Iran, and Russia. It would not be surprising to see equity market volatility remain at increased levels in 2023.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Investing involves risk; Principal loss is possible.

(a)   Fund commenced operations on June 11, 2012.

(b)   Reflects performance of Sustainable North American Oil Sands Index® through June 20, 2013 and ISE High Income Index thereafter.

(c)   This figure represents performance of the ISE High Income IndexTM after the change in the index strategy utilized by the Fund beginning on June 20, 2013, and not during the previous 10 years or since inception.

The Fund is the successor to the investment performance of the YieldShares High Income Fund (the “Predecessor High Income Fund”) as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor High Income Fund into the Fund on October 7, 2019. Accordingly, the performance information shown in the chart and table above for periods prior to October 7, 2019 is that of the Predecessor High Income Fund’s Shares for the Fund. The Predecessor High Income Fund was managed by the same portfolio managers as the Fund and had substantially the same investment objectives, policies, and strategies as the Fund.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed or sold in the market, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Prior to June 20, 2013, the Fund sought to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, corresponded generally to the price and yield performance of the SWM Index. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and the return and value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed or sold in the market, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance and should not be considered as a representation of the future results of the Fund. The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and all capital gains. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike a Fund’s returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives.

The Fund’s holdings and allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
