Objective

The Fund’s objective is to seek total return which exceeds the total return of the S&P 500 Index.

Investment Approach and Philosophy

The Fund seeks to invest in the securities that correspond to the four “cheapest” sectors of the U.S. large-cap equity market. The Fund is rebalanced on a monthly basis to create an investment return that approximates that of the CAPE® Index. The Fund aims to incorporate the principles of long-term investing distilled by Professor Robert Shiller through his work on the CAPE® Ratio, via the CAPE® Index. The Index aims to identify undervalued sectors based on a modified CAPE® Ratio, and then uses a momentum factor to seek to mitigate the effects of potential value traps.

This ETF is different from traditional ETFs. Traditional ETFs tell the public what assets they hold each day. This ETF will not. This may create additional risks for your investment. For example:

  • You may have to pay more money to trade the ETF’s shares. This ETF will provide less information to traders, who tend to charge more for trades when they have less information.
  • The price you pay to buy ETF shares on an exchange may not match the value of the ETF’s portfolio. The same is true when you sell shares. These price differences may be greater for this ETF compared to other ETFs because it provides less information to traders.
  • These additional risks may be even greater in bad or uncertain market conditions.

The differences between this ETF and other ETFs may also have advantages. By keeping certain information about the ETF secret, this ETF may face less risk that other traders can predict or copy its investment strategy. This may improve the ETF’s performance. If other traders are able to copy or predict the ETF’s investment strategy, however, this may hurt the ETF’s performance.

Net Asset Value (NAV) - The price per share of the fund on a specific date or time. The NAV is the value of a fund's assets minus the value of its liabilities.

 

Market Price - The price at which shares in the ETF can be bought or sold on the exchanges during trading hours.

 

Median Bid/Ask Spread - Reflects the median of the difference between the best bid and offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days (or since inception, if shorter.)

Premium/Discount - A premium or discount to the net asset value (NAV) occurs when the market price of an ETF on the exchange rises above or falls below its NAV. If the market price is higher than the NAV, the ETF is said to be trading at a "premium." If the price is lower, it is trading at a "discount

Security Halting Procedures
A verification process compares the output of VIIV1 And VIIV2 values and there are two independent checks that occur:

  • In the event the values differ by more than 25bps (0.25%) for more than 60 consecutive seconds, a trading halt for the ETF Shares will be sent to the exchange. Once the two values return to a range within 25bps, the exchange is notified to remove the trading halt on the ETF shares.
  • If more than 10% (by weight) of the ETF's portfolio components do not have market quotations readily available, a trading halt of the ETF shares will be transmitted to the exchange. Once the weight of stocks without a quoted price drops below 10%, the exchange is notified to remove the trading halt of the ETF shares.

Investing in Exchange-Traded Funds involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

Investing in ETFs involves additional risks such as the market price of the shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value ("NAV"), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund's ability to sell its shares.

The Verified Intraday Indicative Value (VIIV)
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 by the fund’s listing exchange or by market data vendors or other information providers. For example, the VIIV can be found on Yahoo Finance (https://finance.yahoo.com) by typing “^CAPE-IV” (Shiller CAPE U.S. Equities ETF) in the search box labeled “Quote Lookup.” The VIIV is based on the current market value of the securities in the fund’s portfolio on that day. The VIIV is intended to provide investors and other market participants with a highly correlated per share value of the underlying portfolio that can be compared to the current market price. The specific methodology for calculating the fund’s VIIV is available below.

Methodology for Calculating the VIIV
To calculate the VIIV, the fund employs two separate calculation engines to provide two independently calculated sources of intraday indicative values (calculation engines). The fund then uses a pricing verification agent to continuously compare the data from both the calculations engines on a real time basis. If during the process of real time price verification, the indicative values from the calculation engines differ by more than 25 basis points for 60 consecutive seconds, the pricing verification agent will alert the advisor, and the advisor will request that the Listing Exchange halt trading of the fund’s shares until the two indicative values come back into line. This “circuit breaker” is designed to prevent the VIIV from reflecting outlier prices.

The VIIV is designed to provide sufficient 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 NAV per share of the fund. Shares traded on an intraday basis on an exchange, however, will not have a fixed relationship to the previous day’s or the current day’s NAV. 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 a fund. Similarly, because the fund’s shares trade with reference to a published VIIV, they may trade at a wider bid/ask spread when compared to 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. Although the fund seeks to benefit from keeping its portfolio information secret, some market participants may attempt to use information, including the VIIV, to identify the fund’s trading strategy and the securities held by the fund, which if successful, could result in such market participants engaging in certain predatory trading practices that may have the potential to harm the fund and its shareholders.

Because the shares of the fund are traded in the secondary market, a broker may charge a commission to execute a transaction in shares, and an investor also may incur the cost of the spread between the price at which a dealer will buy shares and the somewhat higher price at which a dealer will sell shares.

Equities may decline in value due to both real and perceived general market, economic and industry conditions.

The fund is a “non-diversified” investment company and therefore may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers than funds that are “diversified.” Accordingly, the fund is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund might be.

Shiller Barclays CAPE US Sector TR USD Index incorporates the principles of long-term investing distilled by Dr. Robert Shiller and expressed through the CAPE® (Cyclically Adjusted Price Earnings) ratio (the “CAPE® Ratio”).

Yield to maturity (YTM) does not represent return. YTM provides a summary measurement of an investment’s cash flows, including principal received at maturity based on a given price. Actual yields may fluctuate due to a number of factors such as the holding period, changes in reinvestment rates as cash flows are received and redeployed, receipt of timely income and principal payments. DoubleLine views YTM as a characteristic of a portfolio of holdings often used, along with other risk measures such as duration and spread, to determine the relative attractiveness of an investment.

30-Day SEC Yield – Standard yield calculation developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most-recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the fund’s dividends and interest earned during the period after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. It is also referred to as the “standardized yield.”
