Why Invest?
- Actively managed ETF strategy that combines sustainability and Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) in a tax-efficient ETF structure
- Exposure to companies that score well on sustainability metrics and that the Portfolio Managers believe will outperform based on ML/AI models
- Strategy leverages optimization in an attempt to reduce portfolio level tail risk and mitigate downside losses
Investment Approach
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that will invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in exchange-traded equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization issuers that meet sustainability standards, as determined and in the sole discretion of Stance Capital, LLC. The Fund currently considers companies within the Russell 1000® Index and S&P 500® Index to be large capitalization issuers.
In identifying investments for the Fund, the Portfolio Managers utilize three independent processes.
First, the Portfolio Managers apply a rules-based methodology to the universe of large-capitalization companies and identify companies that successfully manage, in the view and sole discretion of the Portfolio Managers sustainability-related key performance indicators (“KPIs”) such as energy productivity, carbon intensity, water dependence, and waste profile as well as KPIs relating to governance, including capacity to innovate, unfunded pension fund liabilities, chief executive officer/average worker pay, safety performance, employee turnover, leadership diversity, percentage tax paid, and percent of bonus linked to sustainability performance. Companies that have engaged exclusively or primarily in weapons, tobacco, or thermal coal, may be excluded from consideration.
Second, the Portfolio Managers apply a machine-learning model that uses financial, risk, and other factors to identify companies that, in the view and sole discretion of the Portfolio Managers, are most likely to outperform both in absolute returns and in risk-adjusted returns over the next quarter.
Finally, the Portfolio Managers optimize the portfolio in an attempt to minimize tail risk and maximize diversification.

Chart Description
Shareholders may pay more than net asset value (“NAV”) when buying fund shares and receive less than NAV when selling fund shares, because shares are bought and sold at current market prices. The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open. Share are purchased and sold in secondary market transactions at negotiated market prices rather than at NAV. Shares of the Fund may be bought and sold throughout the day on the exchange through a brokerage account. However, shares are not individually redeemable, and may only be redeemed directly from the Fund by Authorized Participants in very large creation/redemption units. Shares may trade at, above or below NAV. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Effective May 12, 2025, the name of the Hennessy Stance ESG ETF was changed to the Hennessy Sustainable ETF.
The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Performance for periods greater than 1 year is annualized. 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 the original cost. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
The Fund’s investment manager has contractually agreed to ensure that total operating expenses (excluding brokerage commissions, taxes, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.85% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The contractual arrangement will continue until February 28, 2027.
The S&P 500® is an unmanaged index commonly used to measure the performance of U.S. stocks. One cannot invest directly in an index. Standard & Poor’s Financial Services is the source and owner of the S&P® and S&P 500® trademarks.
The S&P 500® Equal Weight Index is the equal-weight version of the widely-used S&P 500® Index.
30-Day SEC Yield is a standardized yield computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the past 30-day period by the share price at the end of the period, expressed as an annual percentage rate. The 30-Day SEC Yield should be regarded as an estimate of the Fund’s rate of recent investment income, and it may not equal the Fund’s actual distribution rate. Past yields are no guarantee of future yields.
Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. Price/Earnings measures a stock’s price per share compared to earnings. Price/Book measures a stock’s price per share to book value.
