When to Sell
Trailing Stop Discipline
A Trailing Stop Discipline
Our investment process is based upon our proprietary Trailing Stop Discipline, which has the objective of limiting the magnitude of portfolio drawdowns. It is based on a manual process that defines sell signals for security holdings in decline, as measured by its price falling below the recent high of its lower band. These are not market orders. Importantly, in times of turbulence, our strategies can tilt to 100% cash exposure.

RISKS AND DISCLOSURES
Each ETF has specific risks and the Prospectus should be carefully read before investing.
ETF’s are subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the underlying strategy of the fund. These risks could include foreign risk, emerging market risk, liquidity risk, sector risk, as well as risks associated with fixed income securities, real estate investments, and commodities, to name a few.
While the shares of ETFs are tradeable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress. ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF’s net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective.
The ETF’s are newly formed and have no operating history.
