Important Disclosures

Investments involve risk. Principal loss is possible. Redemptions are limited and often commissions are charged on each trade. FRDM and VMOT are non-diversified, which may be more sensitive to economic, business, political or other changes affecting individual issuers or investments than a diversified fund, which may result in greater fluctuation in the value of the Fund's Shares and greater risk of loss. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value.

Value investing is subject to the risk that intrinsic values of investments may not be recognized by the broad market or that their prices may decline. Investments utilizing quantitative methods may perform differently than the market as a result of characteristics and data used and changes in trends. Investments in foreign securities involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

Momentum investing is investing in or having exposure to securities with positive momentum entails investing in securities that have had above-average recent returns. These securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities. Returns on securities that have previously exhibited momentum may be less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Momentum can turn quickly and cause significant variation from other types of investments, and stocks that previously exhibited high momentum may not experience continued positive momentum. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of the Fund using a momentum strategy may suffer.

A freedom style investment strategy limits the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, may underperform other emerging markets funds that do not have a freedom focus. In addition, the Index Provider may be unsuccessful in creating an index composed only of companies in countries that benefit from significant personal and economic freedoms. The Funds are not actively managed. Maintaining investments regardless of market conditions or the performance of an individual investment could cause the Funds' returns to be lower than if the Funds employed an active strategy. The performance of the Funds and their Indices may differ due to tracking error.

Because it invests primarily in other funds, the Value Momentum Trend Fund’s investment performance largely depends on the investment performance of those underlying Alpha Architect ETFs. An investor will indirectly bear the principal risks and its share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks including hedging risk. The use of derivatives in connection with the Alpha Architect Value Momentum Trend Index’s hedging strategies may expose the Index (and therefore the Value Momentum Trend Fund) to losses (some of which may be sudden) that it would not have otherwise been exposed to if it had only invested directly in equity securities.
