ClearShares OCIO ETF (Outsourced Chief Investment Officer)

The ClearShares OCIO ETF (the Fund) seeks to outperform a traditional 60/40 mix of global equity & fixed-income investments.

OCIO is an actively managed portfolio. Its diversified holdings are primarily focused in passive index-based ETFs, but OCIO also utilizes actively managed ETFs or individual securities when the Fund's management believes it advantageous. 

Through the utilization of a Covered Call strategy, OCIO produces additional income while off-setting potential market losses. The fund expects to write (sell) covered calls on approximately 1 to 10% of its total assets using monthly call options.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. 

Returns are average annualized except for periods less than one year.

Annualized return is the average return gained or lost by an investment each year over a given time period. ClearShares Funds' NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

The closing market price is the Mid-Point between the Bid and Ask price as of the close of exchange. Since the Fund’s Shares typically do not trade in the secondary market until several days after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in Shares, the NAV of the Fund is used to calculate market returns.

Asset Allocation Risk. The Fund may favor an asset category or investment strategy that performs poorly relative to other asset categories and investment strategies for short or long periods of time.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. References to efforts to mitigate or “control” risk reflect an effort to address risk but do not mean that the portfolio risk can be completely controlled. All investment has risk, including the risk of loss of principal.

Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by clicking here. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may only be acquired or redeemed from the fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Additional risks include, but are not limited to, investments in debt securities including high yield and mortgage and asset backed securities, foreign and emerging markets securities, REITs, MLPs, small-and mid-cap securities, and investment in other ETFs. The fund invests in other investment companies and bears its proportionate share of fees and expenses of other investment companies. Please refer to the prospectus for additional risks of investing in the fund.

Investment Company Risk. The risks of investing in investment companies, such as the Underlying Funds, typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. By investing in another investment company, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company. The Fund may be subject to statutory limits with respect to the amount it can invest in other ETFs, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Investments in ETFs are also subject to the following risks: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below their net asset value (“NAV”); (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; and (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted for a number of reasons.

Management Risk. The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.

Alpha, often considered the active return on an investment, gauges the performance of an investment against a market index used as a benchmark, since they are often considered to represent the market's movement as a whole. The excess returns of a fund relative to the return of a benchmark index is the fund's alpha.

ICE BofA US Broad Market Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated investment grade debt publicly issue in the US domestic market including US Treasury, quasi-government, corporate, securitized and collateralized securities. One cannot invest directly in an index.
