Fund Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to track the performance (before fees and expenses) of its target index, the O’Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend Index (the “Target Index”).

The Target Index is designed to reflect the performance of publicly-listed small-capitalization dividend-paying issuers in the United States that meet certain market capitalization, liquidity, high quality, low volatility and dividend yield thresholds, as determined by O’Shares Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Index Provider”). The quality and low volatility factors are designed to reduce exposure to high dividend equities that have experienced large price declines, as may occur with some dividend investing strategies.

1. The 30 day SEC yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on maximum offering price per share and includes the effect of any fee waivers. Without waivers, yields would be reduced. A fund’s actual distribution rate will differ from the SEC yield and any income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than the SEC yield. The 30 day SEC yield is as of the prior month end.
2. The median bid-ask spread 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 and that value is expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth.
3. The premium discount information represents the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund’s reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the Fund’s market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund’s market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST).

Effective June 1, 2020 the target index for OUSM was changed from FTSE USA Small Cap ex Real Estate 2Qual/Vol/Yield 3% Capped Factor Index to O’Shares U.S. Small-Cap Quality Dividend Index. The new index provides greater emphasis on our principles of Quality. Information beginning June 1, 2020, including yield and holdings data, reflect the index change.

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.

There are risks involved with investing, including 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 Fund may use derivatives which may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. The 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. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Fund.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Returns beyond 1 year are annualized.

Shares of the Funds are not individually redeemable and the owners of Shares may purchase or redeem Shares from each Fund in Creation Units only. The purchase and sale price of individual Shares trading on an Exchange may be below, at or above the most recently calculated NAV for such Shares.

Market Price returns are generally based on market value at 4:00PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Fund returns assume that dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV.

The above line chart and table present information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund’s reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the Fund’s market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund’s market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST). The vertical axis of the line chart shows the premium or discount expressed as a percentage of NAV. The horizontal axis indicates the date at which the premium discount occurred. The table indicates the number of trading days in the respective period in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount percentage range as indicated.
