Important Information:
Artificial Intelligence Risk (AIS)
Issuers engaged in artificial intelligence typically have high research and capital expenditures and, as a result, their profitability can vary widely, if they are profitable at all. The space in which they are engaged is highly competitive and issuers’ products and services may become obsolete very quickly. These companies are heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory and political changes that may have a large impact on their profitability. A failure in an issuer’s product or even questions about the safety of the product could be devastating to the issuer, especially if it is the marquee product of the issuer. It can be difficult to accurately capture what qualifies as an artificial intelligence company.
Equity Market Risk (AIS & EVS).
Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers.
Technology Sector Risks (AIS & EVS).
The Fund will invest substantially in companies in the technology sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technological advances could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Foreign Securities Risk (AIS & EVS).
Investments in securities or other instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks not involved in domestic investments and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than investments in securities of U.S. companies. Financial markets in foreign countries often are not as developed, efficient, or liquid as financial markets in the United States, and therefore, the prices of non-U.S. securities and instruments can be more volatile.
Index Strategy Risk (AIS & EVS).
The Fund’s strategy is linked to an Index maintained by the Index Provider that exercises complete control over the Index. The Index Provider may delay or add a rebalance date, which may adversely impact the performance of the Fund and its correlation to the Index. In addition, there is no guarantee that the methodology used by the Index Provider to identify constituents for the Index will achieve its intended result or positive performance. Errors in Index data, Index computations or the construction of the Index in accordance with its methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund.
New Fund Risk (AIS & EVS).
The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have an extensive track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
New Sub-Adviser Risk (AIS & EVS).
The Sub-Adviser is a newly formed entity and has no experience with managing an exchange-traded fund, which may limit the Sub-Adviser’s effectiveness.
The Sub-Adviser defines an “AI company” as a company that, based upon publicly available revenue data derives at least 50% of their revenues from or have at least 50% of their assets invested in or have the potential to generate 50% of their revenues from or have at least 50% of their assets devoted to the production, development and/or operation of (i) high-performance semiconductors used for AI (artificial intelligence) related hardware & software, (ii) AI related datacenters, and/or (iii) AI enabled applications.
The Sub-Adviser defines “supercycles” as long-term trends that disrupt current economic models through disruptive technological advancements shaping our world. The Fund’s portfolio is expected to consist of all or a representative sample of the securities in the BITA VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle Index (the “Index”).
The BITA VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle Index is a rules-based composite index that tracks the market performance of companies, listed on global stock exchanges, that derive their revenues from producing high-performance semiconductors, and building and operating AI-enabled applications and datacenters.
