Shiller CAPE® U.S. Equities ETF

OverviewFund InsightsPortfolio ManagersDocuments

Objective

Seeks total return which exceeds the total return of the S&P 500 Index.

Summary

The Fund employs a U.S. equity sector rotation strategy, seeking 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 (Shiller Barclays CAPE® U.S. Sector TR Index).

The CAPE® 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.

More Information About VIIV

The Fund listed on 4/5/2022. The number of days the Fund's shares traded at a premium or discount for the calendar year will be displayed in the table above following the completion of the current calendar year.

Bid/Ask Spread - The amount by which the ask price exceeds the bid price for an asset in the market. The bid-ask spread is essentially the difference between the highest price that a buyer is willing to pay for an asset and the lowest price that a seller is willing to accept.

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.

Closing Price – The final market price at which the fund traded at the end of the trading day. The closing price is considered the most accurate valuation of a security until trading resumes on the next trading day.

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."

Verified Intraday Indicative Value (VIIV) Price Calculation & Methodology

Trading Hours and Publication Frequency
The VIIV will be published every second during regular US market trading hours through the Consolidated Tape Association ("CTA"). The VIIV will not publish when the US exchanges are closed due to holiday or other extraordinary events. Trading hours for regular trading days are 9:30-4:00 EST.

Price Source and Methodology
The pricing source used to calculate the VIIV will be the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") of each portfolio security as published on the consolidated tape. The VIIV is calculated by taking the sum of the product of the market price of every component in the ETF's portfolio and the number of shares in the ETF of the respective component, adding portfolio cash and then subsequently dividing the sum by the number of ETF shares outstanding.

VIIV = ΣPortfolio Security Shares x NBBO Mid Price) + Portfolio Cash/ Number of ETF Shares Outstanding

The VIIV is calculated on two independent pricing engines (referred to as: "VIIV1", "VIIV2"). VIIV1 will be transmitted to the exchange. VIIV2 is used for verification.

There are currently no halted securities.

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.

ALL FUND DOCUMENTS

The fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The statutory and summary prospectus contain this and other important information about the investment company and may be obtained by calling (877) 354-6311 / (877) DLINE11, or downloading from the fund document library on this website. Read them carefully before investing.

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. 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.

Locating and Methodology for Calculating the VIIV
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.” 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 specific methodology for calculating the fund’s VIIV is available on the VIIV tab located here.

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.

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.

For additional information regarding the unique attributes and risks of the ETF, see the Prospectus and SAI, which are available on this website.
