Performance

Performance data shown represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Past performance, particularly for brief periods of time, are not indicative of future returns. Performance will vary over time and over various market conditions. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Return information shown for less than one year is cumulative, not annualized.

The inception date for the Institutional Class Shares of the Predecessor Fund is 9/27/2013.

Prior to close of business on 8/8/2025, the ETF operated as an open-end mutual fund. The NAV returns include returns of the Institutional Class Shares of the Predecessor Fund prior to the ETF’s commencement of operations. Market price returns are calculated using the official closing price of the Fund on the listing exchange.

Prior to the ETF’s listing on 8/11/2025, the NAV performance of the ETF and the Institutional Class Shares of the Predecessor Fund are used as proxy market price returns.

The quoted performance of the ETF includes performance of the Institutional Class Shares of the Predecessor Fund prior to the ETF's commencement of operations. Although the ETF operates using a different principal investment strategy than the Predecessor Fund, both have the same investment objective, which is to seek high total return consisting of income and capital appreciation. Please refer to the current prospectus for additional information.

The market price is the official closing price as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca (typically 4 p.m., Eastern time). The net asset value (NAV) is determined as of the closing time of the NYSE (typically 4 p.m., Eastern time).

Net Asset Value is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the Fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV is not necessarily the same as the ETF's intraday trading value. ETF investors should not expect to buy or sell shares at NAV.

Premium/Discount: The amount the Fund’s closing price is trading above or below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. When the Fund’s closing price is greater than the Fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “premium” and the percentage is expressed as a positive number. When the Fund’s closing price is less than the Fund’s NAV, it is said to be trading at a “discount” and the percentage is expressed as a negative number.

30 Day Bid/Ask Spread: The median bid-ask spread (expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth) is calculated by identifying the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") for each Fund as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days and dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the NBBO. The median of those values is identified.

30-Day Average Volume (Shares): The average number of shares traded in a security across all U.S. exchanges over the last 30 calendar days. Because ETFs trade like stocks at current market prices, shareholders may pay more than a Fund’s NAV when purchasing fund shares and may receive less than a Fund’s NAV when selling Fund shares. The premium and discount information contained on this website represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.
