**SUPPLEMENT DATED DECEMBER 19, 2025** 

**TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED**

**DECEMBER 8, 2025**

**This Supplement provides the following amended and supplemental information and supersedes any information to the contrary in the Prospectus dated December 8, 2025 (the "Prospectus"), with respect to Sterling Capital Hedged Equity Premium Income ETF (the "Fund"):**

*Effective immediately, the third paragraph of the section of the prospectus entitled – "Strategy, Risks, and Performance – Principal Strategy" in the Fund's Summary is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:*

 

Equity Selection: Guardian Capital LP, the Fund's sub-adviser (the "Sub-Adviser"), will employ a system driven bottom-up research approach to assess relative value and capital growth potential within a broad stock selection universe. The Fund maintains a mid- to large capitalization bias and typically invests in a range of sectors. The Sub-Adviser seeks to isolate stock selection as the primary source of capital appreciation.

SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT

WITH THE PROSPECTUS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
