in this Annual Report that reflect projections or expectations of future
financial or economic performance of the Trajan Wealth Income
Opportunities ETF (the “ETF”) and of the market in general and statements

•
|
The
economic environment has turned decidedly negative with the Federal
Reserve raising interest rates and stock prices falling.
|
•
|
The
sharp rise in interest rates has impacted both the bond returns and
returns of preferred stock. |
•
|
The
decline in stock prices has impacted the TWIO stock portfolio as well.
|
•
|
The
TWIO portfolio is made up of three asset classes; domestic preferred

a primary objective of producing current income and secondary objectives
of conservation of principal and the opportunity for limited capital
appreciation. |
•
|
The
preferred stocks in TWIO are typically $25 par preferreds.
|
•
|
The
daily average volume in TWIO for the past 90 days has been 11,910/shares.

Comparison
of the Change in Value of a $10,000 Investment |
This
graph assumes an initial investment of $10,000 on March 31, 2021
(Commencement of Operations). All dividends and distributions, if any, are
reinvested. This graph depicts the performance of the Trajan Wealth Income
Opportunities ETF versus the Bloomberg Capital Aggregate Bond Index, the
S&P Preferred Stock Index, the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, and the 20%
of the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, 35% of the Bloomberg Capital Aggregate
Bond Index, and 45% of the S&P Preferred Stock Index. It is important
to note that the ETF is a professionally managed exchange-traded fund
while the index is not available for investment and is unmanaged.
The comparison is shown for illustrative purposes only. | ||||||||||||||||||

Performance
quoted in the previous graph represents past performance, which is no
guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will
fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the
performance data quoted. The Sub-Advisor has entered into an Expense
Limitation Agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the ETF, under which it
has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of the
ETF, if necessary, in amounts that limit the ETF’s total operating
expenses (exclusive of (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads;
(ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and
expenses; (iv) fees and expenses associated with investments in other
collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for
example option and swap fees and expenses); (v) borrowing costs (such as
interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (vi) taxes; (vii)
extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses (which may include
indemnification of ETF officers and Trustees and contractual
indemnification of ETF service providers (other than the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor)) to not more than 0.85% of the average daily net assets of
the ETF for the current fiscal year. The current term of the Expense
Limitation Agreement remains in effect through January 31, 2023. The
Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of
the Trust at any time. The Sub-Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any
amounts paid by the Sub-Advisor under the Expense Limitation
Agreement. Without the waiver, the expenses would be estimated to be
2.72% per the ETF’s most recent prospectus dated February 1, 2022.
An investor may obtain performance data, current to the most recent
month-end, by visiting ncfunds.com. | ||||||||||||||||||
The
graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor
would pay on ETF distributions or the redemption of ETF shares.
Average annual total returns are historical in nature and measure net
investment income and capital gain or loss from portfolio investments
assuming reinvestments of distributions, if any. | ||||||||||||||||||

o
|
Not Individually Redeemable . Shares are
not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the ETF at NAV only in
large blocks known as “Creation Units.” You may incur brokerage
costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.
|
o
|
Trading Issues . An active trading
market for the ETF’s shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading in
Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for
reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares
inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no
assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of
the Exchange. If the ETF’s shares are traded outside a collateralized
settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as
authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is
limited, which may limit the market for the ETF’s shares.
|
o
|
Cash Purchases. To the extent Creation
Units are purchased by APs in cash instead of in-kind, the ETF will incur
certain costs such as brokerage expenses and taxable gains and losses.
These costs could be imposed on the ETF and impact the ETF’s NAV if not
fully offset by transaction fees paid by the APs.
|
o
|
Market Price Variance Risk . The market
prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply
and demand for Shares and will include a “bid-ask spread” charged by the
exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the
particular security. There may be times when the market price and the NAV
vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.
|
• |
In
times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market
making in shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which can lead to
differences between the market value of ETF shares and the ETF’s net asset
value. |
Trajan Wealth Income Opportunities ETF |
Notes to Financial Statements |
As of September 30, 2022 |
• |
To
the extent authorized participants exit the business or are unable to
process creations or redemptions and no other AP can step in to do so,
there may be a significantly reduced trading market in the ETF’s shares,
which can lead to differences between the market value of ETF shares and
the ETF’s net asset value. |
• |
The
market price for the ETF’s shares may deviate from the ETF’s net asset
value, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that
investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less for ETF
shares than the ETF’s net asset value, which is reflected in the bid and
ask price for ETF shares or in the closing price.
|
• |
When
all or a portion of an ETFs underlying securities trade in a market that
is closed when the market for the ETF’s shares is open, there may be
changes from the last quote of the closed market and the quote from the
ETF’s domestic trading day, which could lead to differences between the
market value of the Fund’s shares and the ETF’s net asset value.
|
• |
In
stressed market conditions, the market for the ETF’s shares may become
less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the ETF’s
portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the ETF’s shares may,
in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the ETF’s shares
and the ETF’s net asset value. |
