**SUMMARY PROSPECTUS**

**February 28, 2026**

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. The Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated February 28, 2026, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. You can obtain these documents and other information about the Fund online at www.mainmgtetfs.com. You can also obtain these documents at no cost by calling 1-866-383-9778 or by sending an email request to OrderMainMgtETFs@UltimusFundSolutions.com. Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange").

**Investment Objective:** Main Thematic Innovation ETF ("the Fund") seeks to outperform the MSCI ACWI Index® in rising markets while limiting losses during periods of decline.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund:** This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> (expenses that you pay each year<br> as a percentage of the value of your investment) |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Management Fees | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.65% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Other Expenses | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.17% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.82% |

---

***Example:*** This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **<u>1 Year</u>** | **<u>3 Years</u>** | **<u>5 Years</u>** | **<u>10 Years</u>** |
| $84 | $262 | $455 | $1014 |

---

***Portfolio Turnover:*** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 5% of the average value of its portfolio.

**PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:** The Fund invests in theme-based domestic equity securities of any market capitalization. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective through dynamic thematic rotation. The Fund's adviser, Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), focuses its research primarily on identifying emerging, disruptive, and innovative themes that have an "addressable market", *i.e.*, a large market demand. These themes may include genomics, fintech, e-commerce, robotics, artificial intelligence, cyber security, clean energy, cloud computing, autonomous tech, gaming & e-sports, and pet care. The Adviser rotates among themes with large addressable markets which may range from nascent technologies to those on the cusp of widespread adoption and buys securities of companies representing those themes.

The portfolio managers set price targets for each position and revisit a position when the price target is met, revising upwards when deemed appropriate or selling when the investment committee concludes the theme has either run its course or is no longer likely to provide further exposure to growth, disruption, or innovation. Looking for themes with large market demand may mean price targets are revised upwards multiple times. The holding period is long-term as it may take years or even decades for themes to realize their full potential.

The Adviser rebalances the Fund's portfolio when the investment committee deems appropriate given the longer-term nature of thematic development and the Fund's objective of seeking maximum return. From time to time, the Fund may use a covered call or covered put option strategy in an attempt to dampen volatility and generate additional returns.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. In selecting investments for the Fund's portfolio, the Adviser adheres to the investment process described below.

*Assessing Market Conditions.* The Adviser determines the Fund's target allocations by analyzing developing and ongoing technological and behavioral themes and their underlying addressable markets. The Adviser identifies themes consisting of securities in the aggregate that are poised for significant growth, disruption, or innovation. To identify such themes, the Adviser analyzes economic growth forecasts, changes in the factors driving growth, behavioral patterns among consumers, as well as other macroeconomic fundamentals. In addition, the Adviser considers fundamental factors such as Price to Growth, Price to Earnings, Price to Book, and Price to Sales. The growth rate and size of the addressable market are the primary metrics of consideration.

*Identifying the Appropriate Investments.* The Adviser then seeks to identify over 100 equity securities representing these themes to implement its strategic asset allocation and thematic views. At any given time, the Fund may have a significant percentage of its assets invested in one or more sectors than in other sectors.

*Option Strategy.* The Fund may from time to time incorporate a covered call option writing strategy. Covered call option writing is an investment strategy of writing (selling) call options against securities owned by the Fund to generate additional returns from the option premium. The Fund may also seek returns by writing (selling) secured put options. The Fund may seek to hedge downside risk by purchasing protective puts. A "put option" is an option contract that gives the owner the right to sell the underlying security at a specified price (the strike price) until its expiration at a fixed date in the future. The Fund seeks to achieve risk-adjusted returns through targeted allocations by analyzing interest and currency rates, inflation trends, economic growth forecasts, and other global and capital market fundamentals. The Fund's option strategy may also have the benefit of reducing the volatility of the Fund's portfolio in comparison to that of broad equity market indexes.

**Principal Investment Risks:** *As with all funds, there is a risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and price of shares and performance.*

The following describes the risks of investing in the Fund. As with any ETF, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.

*Active Management Risk.* The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. Index based ETFs have generally traded at prices which closely correspond to NAV per share. Actively managed ETFs have a limited trading history and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether and/or the extent to which shares will trade at premiums or discounts to NAV. The adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of the intrinsic value of the securities the Fund holds which may result in a decline in the value of shares and failure to achieve its investment objective.

 

*Allocation Risk.* If the Fund's strategy for allocating assets among different sectors and subsectors does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds with the same or similar investment strategy.

*Authorized Participant Risk.* Only an Authorized Participant that has entered into a contractual arrangement with the Fund's distributor may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund's distributor has entered into contracts with only a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (*i.e.,* on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem large blocks of Shares known as "Creation Units," Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face trading halts or delisting. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for ETFs that invest in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

*Covered Call Risk.* The writer of a covered call option forgoes any profit from increases in the market value of the underlying security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but retains the risk of loss if the underlying security declines in value. The Fund has no control over the exercise of the option by the option holder and may lose the benefit from any capital appreciation on the underlying security.

 

*Derivatives Risk.* The Fund's use of options involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) the risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and<br> (iii) the risk that changes in the value of an option may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices may be highly volatile at times and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time.

*ETF Structure Risk.* The Fund is structured as an ETF and as a result is subject to special risks, including:

* *Not Individually Redeemable.* Shares are
not individually redeemable to retail investors and may be redeemed by the Fund only to Authorized Participants at NAV in Creation Units.
An Authorized Participant may incur brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.

* *Trading Issues.* An active trading market
for Shares may not be developed or maintained. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons
that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility.

* *Market Price Variance Risk.* The market
prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a "bid-ask spread"
charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. There may be times when the
market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.

* The market price for Shares may deviate from
the Fund's NAV, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly
less for Shares than the Fund's NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask prices for Shares or in the closing price.

 

*Equity Risk.* Equity securities are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. The equity securities held by the Fund may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors affecting securities markets generally, the equity securities of a particular sector, or a particular company.

*Fluctuation of Net Asset Value Risk.* The NAV of Shares generally fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The market prices of Shares generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on the Exchange. The Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for the shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund's holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time.

*Large Capitalization Securities Risk.* The value of investments in larger companies may not rise as much as smaller companies, or larger companies may be unable to respond quickly to competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

*Management Risk.* The portfolio managers' judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular stocks or other securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the portfolio managers' judgment will produce the desired results.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk.* The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate-change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, tariffs and trade wars, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.

 

*Options Risk.* There are risks associated with the sale and purchase of call and put options. As a seller (writer) of a put option, the Fund will tend to lose money if the value of the reference index or security falls below the strike price. As the seller (writer) of a call option, the Fund may experience lower returns if the value of the reference index or security rises above the strike price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Index Call Option Risk.* Because
the exercise of index options is settled in cash, sellers of index call options, such as the Fund, cannot provide in advance for their
potential settlement obligations by acquiring and holding the underlying securities. The Fund bears a risk that the value of the securities
held by the Fund will vary from the value of the index and relative to the written index call option positions. Accordingly, the Fund
may incur losses on the index call options that it has sold that exceed gains on other securities in its portfolio. The value of index
options written by the Fund, which are priced daily, are affected by changes in the value of and dividend rates of the underlying common
stocks in the index, changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market and the remaining time to the options' expiration.
The value of the index options also may be adversely affected if the market for the index options becomes less liquid or smaller.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Put Option Risk.* Options
may be subject to volatile swings in price influenced by changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Although the Fund collects
premiums on the options it writes, the Fund's risk of loss if its options expire in-the-money (*i.e.,* the Fund, as the seller
of puts, owes the buyer of the puts) may outweigh the gains to the Fund from the receipt of such options premiums. The potential return
to the Fund is limited to the amount of option premiums it receives; however, the Fund can potentially lose up to the entire strike price
of each option it sells. The puts sold by the Fund may not perfectly correlate with the returns of their underlying stocks.

 

*Sector Risk.* The Fund may have significant exposure to a limited number of issuers conducting business in the same sector or group of sectors. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector or a group of sectors, and the securities of companies in that sector or group of sectors could react similarly to these or other developments. If the Fund invests more heavily in a particular sector, the value of Shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect that sector. As a result, Share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a fund that invests in a broader range of sectors. Additionally, some sectors could be subject to greater government regulation than other sectors. Therefore, changes in regulatory policies for those sectors may have a material effect on the value of securities issued by companies in those sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Information Technology Sector Risk.* Technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit
margins. Technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of technology companies
may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates
and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual
property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

*Small and Medium Capitalization Securities Risk.* The earnings and prospects of small- and medium-sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small- and medium-sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience.

\* The MSCI AC World Index (the "Index") is designed to represent performance of the full opportunity set of large- and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends. Investors may not invest in the Index directly; unlike the Fund's returns, the Index does not reflect any fees or expenses.

**Investment Adviser:** Main Management ETF Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser")

**Portfolio Managers:** Kim D. Arthur, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, James W. Concidine, Chief Risk Officer of the Adviser, J. Richard Fredericks, Managing Director of the Adviser, and Alex Varner, Direct of Research of the Adviser, are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund and have served the Fund as its portfolio managers since it commenced operations in 2021. Each portfolio manager is involved in rebalancing the Fund's portfolio. Darol Ryan, Managing Partner of the Adviser, has served the Fund as a portfolio manager since December 2024.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares:** Individual Shares may be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through a broker dealer or at market price. Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and trade at market prices rather than NAV. Shares may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (ask) when buying or selling Shares on the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Information on the Fund's net asset value, market price, premiums and discounts and bid-ask spreads is available at www.mainmgtetfs.com.

Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and trade at market prices rather than NAV. Shares may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV.

**Tax Information:** Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) plan. However, these dividend and capital gain distributions may be taxable upon their eventual withdrawal from tax-deferred plans.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries:** If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
