<strong>About The ETF</strong>
QPX is an actively managed ETF that seeks long-term growth by targeting equity market upside while tactically managing downside risk during abnormal market volatility. Using ETFs, QPX may invest in a broad variety of equities across market cap, style or sectors and will use various fixed income categories and commodities to manage risk. QPX applies a proprietary risk management program, Q Methodology™, to optimally allocate the fund’s assets against a given level of risk. Normally, QPX seeks to provide broad-market equity like returns and re-optimizes the portfolio monthly. However, during periods of high market volatility, QPX can allocate to a more defensive portfolio and seek short-term fixed income returns. QPX’s market volatility indicator, the Q Implied Volatility Index™ (QIX), is reviewed daily which may result in mid-month allocation changes. Asset classes may be added or removed from QPX’s portfolio based on changing risk/reward characteristics.
<strong>About Q Methodology™</strong>
<strong>About the Q Implied Volatility Index™ (QIX)</strong>
<strong>Why Invest in QPX?</strong>
- Greater Computing Power: Better Risk Models– Recognizing the flaws in Modern Portfolio Theory and other Bell curve or Gaussian-based analysis, Q Methodology™ focuses on heavy-tail risk models in an effort to more accurately represent the frequency and impact of more severe losses in financial markets and to optimize risk accordingly.
- Potential Risk Solution – Q Methodology™ uses modern financial theory and computing power to analyze tens of thousands of potential portfolio simulations and aims to uncover the allocation which offers the highest expected return based on a pre-determined level of risk.
- Flexible Unconstrained Portfolio – Utilizes a broad range of asset classes to optimally balance and avoid risk concentration in the portfolio.
- Fulcrum Fee Structure – The portfolio strategist’s compensation is directly tied to portfolio’s performance. Stronger outperformance is rewarded with a larger management fee while weak or underperformance is penalized with a smaller management fee.
- Tactical Defense Overlay – QPX seeks to participate in equity market upside while potentially limiting downside exposure caused by unusual market volatility. When QIX is high, QPX will move to varying levels of fixed income and cash. Once QIX returns to normal levels, QPX will return to its equity-focused risk-optimized portfolio allocation.
<strong>Where Can QPX Fit in a Traditional Portfolio?</strong>
<strong>Key Attributes</strong>
- Quantitative Investment Process – QPX removes the emotion from the investment process by using a disciplined, repeatable quantitative process, Q Methodology™, to manage the portfolio.

- Operational & Tax Efficiency – QPX’s ETF structure allows for diverse asset class and security exposure in a single trade, as well as operational and tax efficiencies.
- Defense Trigger – When triggered, QPX’s portfolio will tactically allocate to a more defensive portfolio and seek short-term fixed income returns until market volatility returns to normal.

- Investing Involves Risk Including possible loss of principal
- There is no guarantee the Advisors investment strategy will be successful. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Fund to potential risks. In addition, the use of predictive models has inherent risk. Because predictive models are usually constructed based on historical data supplied by third parties, the success of relying on such models may depend heavily on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical data. The Fund’s particular allocations may have a significant effect on the Fund’s performance. Allocation risk is the risk that the selection of ETFs and the allocation of assets among such ETFs will cause the Fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective that do not allocate their assets in the same manner or the market as a whole. For a list of the asset class specific risks please see the prospectus.
- Definitions
- Tail risk is the possibility of an investment’s return moving significantly beyond expectations (i.e., more than three standard deviations from its mean).
- Expected drawdown is the maximum peak to trough capital loss over a full market cycle (as measured from January 2006 to March 2020).
