Leadership

KEVIN O’LEARY, CHAIRMAN
You know me from ABC’s Shark Tank and CNBC as an investor who demands quality, performance and limited risk. O’Shares has created a series of innovative ETFs that fit my investment philosophy.

Anyone who has seen me on ABC “Shark Tank” knows that I am a disciplined investor, who also wants to see entrepreneurs and other investors succeed. When I invest for the long term, I focus on quality.

We developed O’Shares ETFs because we were challenged to find any other family of ETFs with a focus on Quality and the principles of wealth preservation, income and capital appreciation. Our team at O’Shares ETFs uses substantial research to identify important financial measures of quality used in rules-based indexes that drive the portfolios of our ETFs. These quality measures include profitability, cash earnings, and strong balance sheets, which makes me feel very good about the stocks in the O’Shares ETFs that I own for myself and my family.

CONNOR O’BRIEN, CEO/PRESIDENT
Mr. O’Brien, CEO and President of O’Shares ETFs, leads the development and management of O’Shares ETFs.

The O’Shares team applies financial measures for quality, including measures for profitability, balance sheet strength and cash earnings. These quality measures are combined with a rules-based approach to develop ETFs designed for investors with objectives ranging from wealth preservation and income to growth and capital appreciation.

Mr. O’Brien has over 25 years of experience in financial markets, including 15 years in New York, at Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch, followed by investment management across a range of equity and fixed income strategies, building a mutual fund business and more recently leading the successful development and growth of O’Shares ETFs. Mr. O’Brien is a graduate of Dartmouth College (MBA) and Middlebury College (BA in Physics and Economics).

Before you invest in O’Shares ETF Investments Funds, please refer to the prospectus for important information about the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, please view or download a prospectus. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. There are risks involved with investing including the possible loss of principal.

Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject the Funds to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector. The Funds may use derivatives which may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. A Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after the Fund's purchase of such a company's securities. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic, economic, foreign market and trading risks. In addition, a Fund's investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund's returns. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Funds.
The securities of small capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies and may be more affected than other types of securities during market downturns. Compared to larger companies, small capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.
Companies involved with Internet technology and e-commerce are exposed to risks associated with rapid advances in technology, obsolescence of current products and services, the finite life of patents and the constant threat of global competition and substitutes.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), are not individually redeemable, and owners of Shares may acquire those Shares from the Funds and tender those shares for redemption to the Funds in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 50,000 Shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price of Shares can be at, below, or above NAV. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded Shares at other times.
