More About the Swan Enhanced Dividend Income ETF

Investors should carefully consider the investment objective, risks, charges and expenses of the Swan Enhanced Dividend Income Fund. This and other information is contained in the prospectus and should be read carefully before investing. For a prospectus please call (877) 896-2590. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

The fund’s investment objective is to seek income and capital appreciation.

An investment in the fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal.

Exchange Traded Funds and Mutual Funds involve risk, including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the Fund will meet its objective.  The fund will use put and call options, which are referred to as “derivative” instruments since their values are based on, or derived from, an underlying reference asset, such as an index. Derivatives can be volatile, and a small investment in a derivative can have a large impact on the performance of the Fund as derivatives can result in losses in excess of the amount invested. Options used by the Fund to reduce volatility and generate returns may not perform as intended. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s option strategy will be effective. It may expose the Fund to losses, e.g., option premiums, to which it would not have otherwise been exposed. Further, the option strategy may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the value of its portfolio securities. The prices of options may change rapidly over time and do not necessarily move in tandem with the price of the underlying securities. Selling call options reduces the Fund’s ability to profit from increases in the value of the Fund’s equity portfolio, and purchasing put options may result in the Fund’s loss of premiums paid in the event that the put options expire unexercised. To the extent that the Fund reduces its put option holdings relative to the number of call options sold by the Fund, the Fund’s ability to mitigate losses in the event of a market decline will be reduced.  The Fund is non‐diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

The Fund is distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC. Northern Lights Distributors, LLC and Swan Capital Management, LLC are not affiliated.  There is no guarantee the fund will meet its objective.  3193-NLD-02/26/2024

Definitions:

Options: An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right to either buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in  the case of a put option) an underlying asset at a pre-determined price by a specific date. Options are a powerful tool for  creating a wide array of potential payoff profiles and may be used on a standalone basis or integrated into a broader portfolio strategy.

Expiry is the time until an option expires. In the context here expiry is used to describe the length of time from when an option  position is initiated to when it will expire.

NAV is the dollar value of a single share, based on the value of the underlying assets of the fund minus its liabilities, divided  by the number of shares outstanding. Calculated at the end of each business day.

Market Price is the current price at which shares are bought and sold. Market returns are based upon the last trade price.

A call option is a financial contract that gives the buyer the right to buy an underlying asset at a specific price within a specific period.

A covered call is a strategy of selling call options on an investor’s long position in a stock or futures contract. It can generate income in the form of option premium, lower risk, and improve returns by selling the right to buy stock shares or the call options contracts at a predetermined price.

Out of the Money refers to an options contract where an option’s strike price, or the price at which the option contract can be exercised, is much lower or higher than the price of the underlying security., and therefore the option contract only contains extrinsic value.

Extrinsic value measures the difference between the market price of an option, called the premium, and its intrinsic value. Extrinsic value is also the portion of the worth that has been assigned to an option by factors other than the underlying asset’s price. The opposite of extrinsic value is intrinsic value, which is the inherent worth of an option.

At the Money refers to an options contract where an option’s strike price, or the price at which the option contract can be exercised, is identical to the price of the underlying security.

Near the Money refers to an options contract where an option’s strike price is close to the current market price of the corresponding underlying security.

Strike Price is the price at which an option contract can be exercised, either to buy or sell the underlying security.

Option premium is the total amount that an investor will pay for an option.

The Cboe S&P 500 BuyWrite IndexSM (BXM) is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index®. A “Buy-Write” strategy generally is considered to be an investment strategy in which an investor buys a stock or a basket of stocks, and also writes (or sells) covered call options that correspond to the stock or basket of stocks.
