A. |
Security Valuation: All
investments in securities are generally valued using market valuations, as
described in Note 3. | |
B. |
Federal Income Taxes: It is the
Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.
Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
| |
The Fund recognizes the
tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more
likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.
The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the
state of Wisconsin; however, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions
for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized
tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
| ||
C. |
Security Transactions, Income and
Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a
specific identification basis. Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign
dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s
understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
| |
Common expenses of the
Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a
fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means. | ||
The Fund distributes
substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains,
if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes
may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains
are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. | ||
The amount of dividends
and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net
realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are
permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based
on their federal tax treatment. | ||
D. |
Reclassification of Capital Accounts:
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America require that certain components of net assets relating to
permanent differences be reclassified between |
financial and tax
reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or
net asset value per share. | ||
E. |
Use of Estimates: The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |
F. |
REITs: The Fund has made certain
investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends
to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It
is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings
and profits resulting in the excess portion being designated as a return
of capital. The Fund intends to include the gross dividends from
such REITs in its annual distributions to its shareholders and,
accordingly, a portion of the Fund’s distributions may also be designated
as a return of capital. | |
G. |
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End:
In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2023,
management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has
determined there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed
in the Fund’s financial statements. |
Level 1 – |
Unadjusted quoted prices
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has
the ability to access. | |
Level 2 – |
Observable inputs other
than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include
quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices
for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
yield curves, default rates and similar data. | |
Level 3 – |
Unobservable inputs for
the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not
available, representing the Fund’s own |
assumptions about the
assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or
liability, and would be based on the best information available.

• |
New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a new
entity formed in 2021 and has not previously managed an ETF. ETFs and
their advisers are subject to restrictions and limitations imposed by the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and the
Internal Revenue Code. As a result, investors do not have a long-term
track record of managing a pooled investment vehicle from which to judge
the newly-formed Adviser and the Adviser may not achieve the intended
result in managing the Fund. | |
• |
Management Risk. The investment
strategies, practices and risk analysis used by the Adviser may not
produce the desired results. The ability of the Fund to meet its
investment objective is directly related to the Adviser’s investment
strategies for the Fund. If the Adviser’s investment strategies do not
produce the expected results, your investment could be diminished or even
lost. |
• |
Consumer Sentiment Risk. Investment
decisions that are based primarily on consumer sentiment involve
additional risks. Information received may be inaccurate, incomplete or
misleading. Information received may be outdated or could be duplicative
making the information ineffective for accurately gauging current
sentiment. There is a possibility that users have an undisclosed agenda
with an attempt to manipulate a company’s stock price. | |
• |
Research Risk. The Adviser does not
conduct company research on any of the positions held in the portfolio
outside of analysis of the sentiment data received from the Reverberate
App. The Adviser also does not consider market developments or the status
of the economy in its management of the Fund. The Adviser’s strategy is to
base its investment decisions entirely on the expressions of sentiment as
identified in the Reverberate App. As a result, the Fund is subject to the
risks, which may be substantial, that negative developments effecting a
held company, the economy, or markets in general, may not be apparent to
the users of the Reverberate App. These negative developments could have
significant negative impact on the value of your investment and the Fund’s
portfolio. | |
• |
Reverberate App. The Reverberate App is a
new web-based utility and currently has a limited number of users. The
ability of the App to properly and accurately gauge public sentiment is
highly dependent on its ability to attain a high level of regular usage
among a broad market segment of the population. If the App is unable to
draw sufficient users to express their views on a company, the Adviser
will invest in the company at a level equal to its market-capitalization
proportional to that of the Investable Universe. If the Adviser is unable
to take material active positions due to lack of sufficient data or
otherwise, the Fund will likely experience performance similar to the
broad large capitalization market in general. In addition, while the App
seeks to use tools and technology to identify and limit the influence of
non-human users (Bots) or multiple votes by the same user, there is no
guarantee that it will be successful in doing so. In that event, the
information provided by the App may not properly reflect sentiment
regarding a company, leading the Adviser to take active positions in a
company that are inconsistent with true market sentiment. The investment strategy of relying entirely on
general public sentiment as expressed on a web-based user app in order to
take active positions is novel. The strategy may not work and this may
have a significant negative impact on the value of your investment.
| |
• |
General Market Risk. Economies and
financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly
interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions
in one country or region will adversely |
impact markets or issuers
in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may
underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a
particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of
factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest
rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural
disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and
government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced
significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a
number of economic, political and global macro factors, which has resulted
in disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the
global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas,
staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and
widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding
interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt
in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a
result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the
war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed
sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain
financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to
and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and
may continue to do so. | ||
• |
Equity Securities Risk. The value of the
Fund’s shares will go up or down based on the movement of the overall
stock market and the value of the individual securities held by the Fund,
both of which can sometimes be volatile. | |
• |
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund
may be subject to increased trading based on the level of user responses
received and this trading can lead to higher than normal portfolio
turnover. The Fund may frequently buy and sell portfolio securities and
other assets to rebalance the Fund’s exposure to specific securities.
Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher levels of
transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders.
Portfolio turnover may cause the Fund’s performance to be less than you
expect. | |
• |
ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a
result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks:
|
• |
Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and
Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited
number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants
(“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers
and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the
following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and
possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become
unable to |
process creation and/or
redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services,
or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or
significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step
forward to perform their functions. | ||
• |
Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due
to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may
not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments. | |
• |
Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.
As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of
Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market
price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the
NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during
periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market
volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is
limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case
such premiums or discounts may be significant. | |
• |
Trading. Although Shares are listed for
trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on
U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that
Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In
stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror
the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be
significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences
between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those
Shares. |
• |
Newer Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently
organized investment company with a limited operating history. There can
be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically
viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund.
| |
• |
Sector Emphasis Risk. The securities of
companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant
portion of the Fund’s portfolio, could react in some circumstances
negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory
or financial developments and adversely affect the value of the portfolio
to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of
the Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser does not manage the Fund’s sector
exposure so that at any given time the Fund may have significant exposure
to individual sectors. |
