INVESTMENT THESIS

INVESTMENT THESIS

The American Conservative Values ETF (NYSE Ticker: ACVF) is based on the conviction that politically active companies negatively impact their shareholder returns, as well as support issues and causes that are opposed to conservative political ideals, beliefs and values. 

The misallocation of resources is a strong indication that the company’s managers are not solely focused on maximizing shareholder value. As such the Adviser believes such companies constitute poor long-term investment opportunities when compared to companies which focus solely on shareholder value and are consequently avoided.

INVESTMENT PROCESS

ACVF is actively managed and seeks to boycott ownership of companies which the Adviser determines as hostile to conservative values. The companies are identified as having a negative reputation among politically conservative investors, engage in business activities which alienate politically conservative customers and employees, and disproportionately show support of liberal causes.

Given the qualitative and quantitative analysis required to determine a company’s alignment with conservative values, the Adviser has considerable discretion regarding the selection of securities. Companies are continually evaluated by the Adviser for portfolio exclusion or inclusion.

The ETF’s portfolio is expected to be broadly diversified with exposure to growth and value as well as to all economic sectors. The ETF seeks to manage active risk to benchmarks such as the Russell 1000 and S&P 500 .

Conservative Values

ACVF refuses to invest in the companies most at risk to the “woke/liberal agenda” and what we believe is a wasteful misallocation of investors’ capital.

Power of Market Forces

Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting ACVETFS.com. Read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.

An investment in the Fund is subject to risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Overall stock market risks may affect the value of individual securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund is actively managed, and the adviser’s investment decisions impact the Fund’s performance. The Fund and adviser are new, and the ETF has only recently commenced operations. This Fund may not be suitable for all investors.

The equity securities in which the Fund invests will generally be those of companies with large market capitalizations. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Transactions in shares of ETFs will result in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Fund attempts to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. There is no assurance that the investment process will consistently lead to successful investing. The Fund is new and has a limited operating history.

The ACVF Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

The Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result, is subject to special risks. Shares are bought and sold at market price (closing price) not net asset value (NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined) and do not represent the return you would receive if you traded at other times.
