Our investment objective is capital appreciation. In pursuit of the investment objective we seek both long and short term capital appreciation. We begin by determining which sectors are leading the markets higher. The sectors are then rated for factors promoting sustainability of market leadership. The system then extracts what we believe to be the leading stocks of leading sectors, holding positions for as long as this remains true. This discipline aims to force the purchase of stocks that benefit from larger market and economic trends. We have a clear bias towards innovative and disruptive companies that we believe are emerging and displacing the old guard.
As tactical investment managers, our strategy seeks to capture above average returns with lower levels of risk. The active management overlay allows us to purchase or sell option contracts against individual fund positions, in an effort to hedge or enhance short- and long- term returns.
Our strategy is simple, and efficient in nature. It employs a range of approaches in an effort to generate premium returns in rising markets and hedge against short term market declines.
Our active rules-based approach seeks to create consistent, repeatable results. Our strategies are designed to maximize potential returns in any market environment.

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 so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For the most recent month-end performance go to www.ruffetf.com. 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. Market price is the price at which shares in the ETF can be bought or sold on the exchanges during trading hours, while the net asset value (NAV) represents the value of each share’s portion of the fund’s underlying assets and cash at the end of the trading day.

Please read it carefully before investing. A hard copy of the prospectus can be requested by calling 401-351-4900.
Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time.
Investment Strategy Risk. The Fund’s investments in securities that the Adviser believes will perform well in a certain macroeconomic environment may not perform as expected. In addition, the Fund’s investment approach may be out of favor at times, causing it to underperform other portfolios that have a similar investment objective.
Disruptive Innovation Risk. Companies that the Adviser believes are capitalizing on disruptive
innovation and developing technologies to displace older technologies or create new markets may not in fact do so. Companies that initially develop a novel technology may not be able to capitalize on the technology. Companies that develop disruptive technologies may face political or legal attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments.
Derivatives Risk. The Fund may use derivative instruments such as options. There is no guarantee that the use of these instruments by the Fund will work. The value of derivatives may rise or fall more rapidly than other investments. For some derivatives, it is possible to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative and may magnify losses for the Fund.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a new ETF and has only recently commenced operations. As a new fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it could ultimately liquidate.
