The Swan Hedged Equity U.S. Large Cap ETF provides investors with uncapped exposure to the U.S large-cap equity market, while directly mitigating risk in declining markets via an active hedge strategy.
This combination of uncapped upside potential with downside risk mitigation may be applied in a variety of contexts:
1. Core Equity Holding
Equity market exposure with reduced volatility*
2. Bond Surrogate
Reduce duration risk while seeking growth
3. Put Cash to Work
Ease into equities and reduce timing risk
4. Liquid Alternative
Highly liquid, volatility-reducing ETF
1 – Although the Fund is actively managed, the Fund intends to passively invest (buy and hold) roughly 90% of its assets directly or indirectly through one or more ETFs in equity securities of large-cap U.S. companies.
* Based on the historical volatility, as measured by standard deviation, of the Fund (8.71%) compared to the S&P 500 Index (15.34%), since inception. Data through 9/30/25.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing.

Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
The fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation while mitigating overall market risk.
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.
