Investment Objective
The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in public companies with technologies and business models that contribute to climate change mitigation.
Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
Performance & Distributions
Returns
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. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling 866-532-3886. 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: The current price at which shares are bought and sold. Market returns are based upon the last trade price.
NAV: The dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.
The return of your investment may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations if your investment is made in a currency other than that used in the past performance calculation.

Portfolio Characteristics
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity securities (or corresponding American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”)) of U.S. and foreign companies, whose activities, business models, or products make a substantial contribution to mitigating climate change. The Fund invests in ADRs to gain exposure to foreign companies, which may include those based in both developed and emerging markets. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded ADRs only if they trade on a U.S. exchange contemporaneously with the Fund’s shares.
The Fund’s sub-adviser, Veridien Global Investors LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”) uses proprietary industry research and a proprietary valuation analysis process to evaluate companies that are candidates for the Fund’s portfolio. The Sub-Adviser employs a multi-step investment process to construct the Fund’s portfolio.This information must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Sustainability Characteristics
The Veridien Climate Action ETF (the “Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in public companies with technologies and business models that contribute to climate change mitigation.
Applying the Sub-Adviser’s proprietary analysis to focus on companies whose activities, business models or products make a substantial contribution to mitigating climate change may exclude securities of certain issuers, and therefore the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these criteria. As a result, at times, the Fund may underperform funds that are not subject to similar investment considerations. Additionally, the Fund will be more susceptible to events or factors affecting market segments that are focused on climate change solutions. Certain investments may be dependent on U.S.and foreign government policies, including tax incentives and subsidies, as well as on political support for certain environmental initiatives and developments affecting companies focused on sustainable energy and climate change solutions generally.

BEFORE INVESTING YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES AND EXPENSES. THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION IS IN THE PROSPECTUS, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM 866-532-3886 OR WWW.VERIDIENGLOBALINVESTORS.COM PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INVEST.
Portfolio Transparency Risk/ETF Risks. Unlike traditional ETFs, the Fund does not tell the public what assets it holds each day. Instead, the Fund provides a verified intraday indicative value (VIIV), calculated and disseminated every second throughout the trading day. The VIIV is intended to provide investors with enough information to allow for an effective arbitrage mechanism that will keep the market price of the Fund’s shares trading at or close to the underlying net asset value (NAV) per share of the Fund. There is, however, a risk, which may increase during periods of market disruption or volatility, that market prices will vary significantly from the underlying NAV of the Fund. Similarly, because the Fund’s shares trade on the basis of a published VIIV, they may trade at a wider bid/ask spread than shares of ETFs that publish their portfolios on a daily basis, especially during periods of market disruption or volatility, and therefore, may cost investors more to trade.
Climate Change Consideration Risk. Applying climate change and other filters to the investment process may exclude securities of certain issuers for non-investment reasons and therefore the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use these criteria. As a result, at times, the Fund may underperform funds that are not subject to similar investment considerations.
Decarbonization Technologies Risk. Various technologies and processes are being developed for use by companies seeking to reduce GHGs. There can be no guarantee that these technologies or processes will be successfully implemented and achieve goals of lower GHG emissions.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in securities 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.
Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Fund’s portfolio relies, in part, on proprietary investment models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from the Fund’s portfolio that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
The Fund is distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Foreside, Tidal, and Veridien Global Investors are not related.
