This site is intended for U.S. investors only. All investments involve risk, including loss of principal.

Unlike mutual funds, ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their net asset value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. You may incur brokerage commissions when buying and selling shares on an exchange or through your financial intermediary, which may reduce returns. Market returns are based upon the closing price or the midpoint of the bid/ask spread, as applicable, at the time when the Fund’s NAV is determined (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for ETF shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. While the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress. All returns 1-year or less are cumulative.

Risk Information—The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) and thus does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. The Fund is not a money market fund and does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value. As an ETF, the Fund’s shares trade on an exchange and are subject to ETF shares trading risk, including that the Fund’s shares may trade at a premium or discount to net asset value, during periods may become less liquid, and may lack an active trading market, which may result in significant losses if you sell your shares of the Fund during these periods; and authorized participant concentration risk, since the Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants are, or will be, obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to, or choose not to, proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund, and no other authorized participant creates or redeems, shares of the Fund may trade at a discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. The Fund is subject to the cost of buying or selling shares, and when you buy or sell shares of the Fund through a broker, you will likely incur brokerage commission or other charges; and cash transaction risk, in that, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may affect creation and redemptions in cash or partially cash so that the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that distributes portfolio securities in-kind. Fixed income investments are subject to credit, market, and interest rate risks, and their value will decline as interest rates rise; call and redemption risk, where the issuer may call a bond held by the Fund for redemption before it matures and the Fund may lose income; and extension risk, where the issuer may repay a fixed income security more slowly than expected, extending the effective duration of these securities. The Fund’s fixed income investments include variable and floating rate bonds, which are subject to credit, market, and interest rate risk. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which generally involve more risk than investing in U.S. issuers, including political, legal, and economic uncertainty; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, which are subject to prepayment, extension, and interest rate risks; and U.S. government and agency securities, which may carry market, interest rate, and credit risks, may not be insured or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and may limit the Fund’s potential for capital appreciation. The Fund may not be invested in all sectors at a given time. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. These risks may increase the Fund’s share price volatility. There is no guarantee the Fund’s objective will be achieved.

Definitions—30-day SEC yield is a standardized yield calculation created by the SEC. It reflects the income earned during a 30-day period. 30-day distribution yield measures the amount of net income that has been distributed over the previous 30 days divided by the fund’s average net asset value for the period.

NAV (Net Asset Value) prices are used to calculate market price performance prior to the date when the fund first traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca). Market price performance is determined using the close at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, when the NAV is typically calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund inception (4/5/18), for the period from inception to the first day of secondary trading (4/10/18), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the market price to calculate market returns. Market Price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer reported to the consolidated tape, as of the time that each Fund's NAV is calculated. In the event this is not available, the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange is used. NAV Price is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding.
