Equity investors experienced healthy returns across the board through the end of October of 2021. Despite risks of new COVID outbreaks, the potential for increased US taxes and inflation rising, broad-based US stock indexes surged. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 had positive returns ranging between 18-24% through the end of October. In addition, market capitalization and style indexes including the S&P Mid Cap Growth, S&P Mid Cap Value, S&P Small Cap Growth and S&P Small Cap Value all returned double digit positive returns. Besides healthy returns, the behavior of equity markets in 2021 was also quite calm with virtually no material corrections in the year. The first ten months of 2021 were a refreshing break for investors after a volatile 2020.
The S&P 500 delivered 24% year-to-date as of the end of October, which placed it in the middle of the various sector returns making up this well-known index. Reviewing the eleven sectors that comprise the S&P 500 index shows a variety of significant performance differences. In fact, three of the eleven S&P 500 sectors gained more than 30% year-to-date as of October 31. Leading the pack with just over a 57% gain was the Energy sector. Energy stocks continued to see their products in increased demand as the economy worldwide ramped up from the COVID slowdown of 2020. The energy sector declined 33% in 2020 amidst the worldwide economic slowdown, so 2021’s performance is a welcome sign for energy stock investors. Coming in a distant second and third place were the Financials sector with a 38% gain and the Real Estate sector with a 33% move upward. Both sectors were on the rebound in 2021 after experiencing slightly negative returns in 2020. After the top three sector winners, there were a mix of sectors that hovered around the 20% gain mark. Communication Services gained 25% and Technology and Consumer Discretionary followed closely with a 24% and 22% gain respectively. Returning 46% in 2020, the Technology sector has been on quite a roll the last 22 months. Healthcare, Industrials and Materials sectors returned between 18-19%, just underperforming the S&P 500. Utilities and Consumer Staples took the two bottom sector return positions with just single digit returns of 9% and 8% respectively. It’s notable there were no negative sectors returns in 2021 after 2020 saw three of eleven sectors in the red.
Looking forward to 2022, US investors will be watching the Federal Reserve’s tone, pace of interest rate increases, inflation data and geopolitical tensions with nations including China, Iran, and Russia. US equity markets have been abnormally rosy since the 2020 COVID lows, and it would not be surprising to see equity market volatility increase in 2022.

(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 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.

(a) Fund commenced operations on July 20, 2021.
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.
