Small/Mid-Cap Innovation. Early Growth Potential.

SMIZ invests in smaller U.S. companies that demonstrate improving profitability, operational leverage, and upward earnings revisions - often what we believe is the first signals of lasting growth.

Leveraging the Zacks Multi-Factor Alpha Model, SMIZ dynamically tilts toward sectors showing strong revision trends and growth catalysts across technology, manufacturing, and industrials.

The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to midcap segment of the US equity universe, commonly referred to as "smid" cap. The Russell 2500 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index. It includes approximately 2500 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2500 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small to mid-cap segment. The index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-cap opportunity set.

The Russell 3000 Index is a well-known, unmanaged index of the prices of 3000 broad U.S. equity company common stocks, selected by Russell. The Russell 3000 Index assumes reinvestment of dividends but does not reflect advisory fees. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The volatility of the benchmark may be materially different from the individual performance obtained by a specific investor.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate. An investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost; current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

Distinct dynamic, research-driven small/mid-cap ETF.

Because identifying early growth leaders can make all the difference.

SMIZ Fund Specific Risk

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. As an ETF, the funds may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. The Advisor's judgments about the attractiveness, value, and stability of particular stocks in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect, and there is no guarantee that the Advisor's judgment will produce the desired results. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. Stocks of large companies as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund to underperform investments that have a greater focus on mid-cap or small-cap stocks. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may grow more slowly than smaller companies. Investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole.
