**SUMMARY SECTION** 

**Motley Fool Innovative Growth Factor ETF** 

**Motley Fool Innovative Growth Factor ETF** 

**Summary Section** 

**Investment Objective** 

The Motley Fool Innovative Growth Factor ETF (the "Innovative Growth Fund") seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the total return performance of the Motley Fool Innovative Growth Index (the "Innovative Growth Index" – for more on this, see the "Principal Investment Strategies" section).

**Fees and Expenses** 

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Innovative Growth Fund ("Shares"). **This table and the Example below do not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of Innovative Growth Fund Shares.**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):**  |  |
| Management Fees | 0.50% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.50% |

---

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Innovative Growth Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Innovative Growth Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Innovative Growth Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Innovative Growth Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Innovative Growth 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 Innovative Growth Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Innovative Growth Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Innovative Growth Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Innovative Growth Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Innovative Growth Fund.

*The Motley Fool Innovative Growth Index* 

The Innovative Growth Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by a stock's Innovative Growth Factor Score, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Innovative Growth is a measure of a stock's attractiveness based on measures of recent and expected future growth, such as realized sales growth, margin improvement, growth flow and investment intensity.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Innovative Growth Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity and for calculating the Innovative Growth Factor Score. Specifically, the liquidity requirements mandate that at least $1 million worth of a company's shares trade daily, on average, during the preceding three months. With respect to calculating innovative growth, a stock must be assigned numerical values for each of the three component scores that comprise the Innovative Growth Factor Score. Additionally, stocks must have positive raw values for each Innovative Growth component score in order to be included in the candidate stock universe for the Innovative Growth Index on a given weighting date.

The Index Provider's proprietary Innovative Growth Factor Score is a composite score that utilizes modified calculations of growth metrics such as long-term growth, gross profit growth, earnings per share forecasts and revisions, and investment intensity to assess a company's innovative growth attractiveness. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite Innovative Growth Factor Scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after liquidity and metric-specific growth screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Innovative Growth Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Innovative Growth Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Innovative Growth Factor Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Innovative Growth Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Innovative Growth Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Innovative Growth Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Innovative Growth Index and the percentage of the Innovative Growth Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Innovative Growth Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Innovative Growth Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Innovative Growth Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Innovative Growth Fund. Additional information regarding the Innovative Growth Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Innovative Growth Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Innovative Growth Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Innovative Growth Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Innovative Growth Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Innovative Growth Fund's performance and that of the Innovative Growth Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Innovative Growth Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Innovative Growth Index. However, the Innovative Growth Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Innovative Growth Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Innovative Growth Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Innovative Growth Fund (e.g., when replicating the Innovative Growth Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Innovative Growth Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Innovative Growth Fund but not to the Innovative Growth Index).

The Innovative Growth Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Innovative Growth Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Innovative Growth Fund track the Innovative Growth Index. For example, the Innovative Growth Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Innovative Growth Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Innovative Growth Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Innovative Growth Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Innovative Growth Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Innovative Growth Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Innovative Growth Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Innovative Growth Index.

The Innovative Growth Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Innovative Growth Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Innovative Growth Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Innovative Growth Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Innovative Growth Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Innovative Growth Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Innovative Growth Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment:

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk .** The Fund tracks the Innovative Growth Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk .** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Innovative Growth Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk .** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Innovative Growth Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Innovative Growth Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Innovative Growth Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or

exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Innovative Growth Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Innovative Growth Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Innovative Growth Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Innovative Growth Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Innovative Growth Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyberfailures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk .** The equity securities held in the Innovative Growth Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Innovative Growth Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Innovative Growth Fund. The Innovative Growth Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Innovative Growth Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Innovative Growth Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Innovative Growth Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Innovative Growth Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Innovative Growth Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Growth Investing Risk .** The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer's future earnings and revenues. If a company's earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may be volatile and may also be more expensive, relative to their earnings or assets, compared to value or other stocks. In addition, growth stocks as a group may fall out of favor and underperform the overall equity market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk .** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Innovative Growth Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Innovative Growth Fund. In addition,

changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Innovative Growth Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Innovative Growth Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Innovative Growth Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Innovative Growth Index reflects such errors, the Innovative Growth Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk .** Investments in securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Innovative Growth Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Innovative Growth Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Innovative Growth Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Innovative Growth Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Innovative Growth Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Innovative Growth Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Innovative Growth Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Innovative Growth Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Innovative Growth Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Innovative Growth Index as addressed in the Innovative Growth Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk .** The Innovative Growth Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Innovative Growth Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Innovative Growth Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk .** As with all index funds, the performance of the Innovative Growth Fund and the Innovative Growth Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Innovative Growth Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Innovative Growth Index. In addition, the Innovative Growth Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Innovative Growth Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Innovative Growth Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Innovative Growth Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Innovative Growth Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Innovative Growth Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Innovative Growth Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Innovative Growth Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Innovative Growth Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Innovative Growth Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Innovative Growth Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Innovative Growth Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Innovative Growth Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Innovative Growth Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Innovative Growth Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

**SUMMARY SECTION** 

**Motley Fool Crowdsource ETF** 

**Motley Fool Crowdsource ETF** 

**Summary Section** 

**Investment Objective** 

The Motley Fool Crowdsource ETF (the "Crowdsource Fund") seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the total return performance of the Motley Fool Crowdsource Index (the "Crowdsource Index" – for more on this, see the "Principal Investment Strategies" section).

**Fees and Expenses** 

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Crowdsource Fund ("Shares"). **This table and the Example below do not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of Crowdsource Fund Shares.**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):** |  |
| Management Fees | 0.50% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.50% |

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Crowdsource Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Crowdsource Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Crowdsource Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Crowdsource Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Crowdsource 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 Crowdsource Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Crowdsource Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Crowdsource Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Crowdsource Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Crowdsource Fund.

*The Motley Fool Crowdsource Index* 

The Crowdsource Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by a stock's crowdsourced attractiveness, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Crowdsource Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity and for calculating the Crowdsource Composite Score. Specifically, the liquidity requirements mandate that at least $1 million worth of a company's shares trade daily, on average, during the preceding three months. With respect to calculating crowdsourced attractiveness, a stock must be assigned numerical values for each of the three component scores that comprise the Crowdsource Composite Score.

The Index Provider's proprietary Crowdsource Composite Score is a composite score that incorporates crowdsourced signals from large pools of informed "raters" such as Wall Street analysts, corporate insiders, and hedge funds to assess a company's composite crowdsourced attractiveness. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after liquidity screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Crowdsource Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Crowdsource Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Crowdsource Composite Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Crowdsource Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Crowdsource Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Crowdsource Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Crowdsource Index and the percentage of the Crowdsource Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Crowdsource Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Crowdsource Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Crowdsource Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Crowdsource Fund. Additional information regarding the Crowdsource Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Crowdsource Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Crowdsource Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Crowdsource Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Crowdsource Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Crowdsource Fund's performance and that of the Crowdsource Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Crowdsource Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Crowdsource Index. However, the Crowdsource Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Crowdsource Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Crowdsource Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Crowdsource Fund (e.g., when replicating the Crowdsource Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Crowdsource Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Crowdsource Fund but not to the Crowdsource Index).

The Crowdsource Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Crowdsource Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Crowdsource Fund track the Crowdsource Index. For example, the Crowdsource Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Crowdsource Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Crowdsource Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Crowdsource Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Crowdsource Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Crowdsource Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Crowdsource Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Crowdsource Index.

The Crowdsource Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Crowdsource Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Crowdsource Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Crowdsource Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Crowdsource Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Crowdsource Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Crowdsource Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment:

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Crowdsource Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Crowdsource Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Crowdsource Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Crowdsource Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Crowdsource Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Crowdsource Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers

may have limited indemnification obligations to the Crowdsource Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Crowdsource Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Crowdsource Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Crowdsource Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyberfailures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Crowdsource Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Crowdsource Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("APs") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Crowdsource Fund. The Crowdsource Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Crowdsource Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Crowdsource Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Crowdsource Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Crowdsource Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Crowdsource Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Crowdsource Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Crowdsource Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Crowdsource Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Crowdsource Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Crowdsource Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Crowdsource Index reflects such errors, the Crowdsource Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** Investments in securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Crowdsource Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Crowdsource Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Crowdsource Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Crowdsource Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Crowdsource Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Crowdsource Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Crowdsource Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Crowdsource Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Crowdsource Index as addressed in the Crowdsource Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk .** In seeking to replicate the Crowdsource Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Crowdsource Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Crowdsource Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Crowdsource Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Crowdsource Fund and the Crowdsource Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Crowdsource Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Crowdsource Index. In addition, the Crowdsource Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Crowdsource Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Crowdsource Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Crowdsource Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Crowdsource Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Crowdsource Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Crowdsource Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Crowdsource Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Crowdsource Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Crowdsource Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Crowdsource Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Crowdsource Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Crowdsource Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Crowdsource Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Crowdsource Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Value Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Value Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Value Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Value Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Value Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Value Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Value Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Value Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Value Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Value Fund.

*The Motley Fool Value Index* 

The Value Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by a stock's value, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Value is a measure of a stock's attractiveness based on ratios that compare fundamental anchors to market valuations.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Value Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity and for calculating the Value Factor Score. Specifically, the liquidity requirements mandate that at least $1 million worth of a company's shares trade daily, on average, during the preceding three months. With respect to calculating value, a stock must be assigned numerical values for each of the three component scores that comprise the Value Factor Score. Additionally, stocks must have positive raw values for each Value component score in order to be included in the candidate stock universe for the Value Index on a given weighting date.

The Index Provider's proprietary Value Factor Score is a composite score that utilizes modified calculations of valuation metrics such as book-to-price, gross earning yield, and total shareholder yield to assess a company's value attractiveness. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite Value Factor Scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after liquidity and metric-specific value screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Value Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Value Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Value Factor Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Value Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Value Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Value Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Value Index and the percentage of the Value Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%. The Value Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Value Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Value Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Value Fund. Additional information regarding the Value Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Value Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Value Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Value Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Value Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Value Fund's performance and that of the Value Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Value Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Value Index. However, the Value Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Value Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Value Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Value Fund (e.g., when replicating the Value Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Value Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Value Fund but not to the Value Index).

The Value Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Value Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Value Fund track the Value Index. For example, the Value Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Value Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Value Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Value Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Value Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Value Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Value Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Value Index.

The Value Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Value Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Value Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Value Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Value Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Value Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in theValue Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment:

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Value Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Value Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Value Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Value Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Value Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Value Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cybersecurity incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Value Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Value Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Value Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Value Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyberfailures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Value Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Value Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Value Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("APs") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Value Fund. The Value Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent

either of the following events occur, Value Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Value Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Value Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Value Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Value Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Value Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Value Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Value Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Value Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Value Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Value Index reflects such errors, the Value Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** Investments in securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Value Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Value Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Value Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Value Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Value Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Value Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Value Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Value Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Value Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Value Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Value Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Value Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Value Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Value Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Value Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Value Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Value Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Value Fund and the Value Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Value Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Value Index. In addition, the Value Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Value Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Value Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Value Securities Risk .** Securities issued by companies that may be perceived as undervalued may fail to appreciate for long periods of time and may never realize their full potential value. The Adviser may be unsuccessful in identifying undervalued securities. Value securities have generally performed better than non-value securities during periods of economic recovery (although there is no assurance that they will continue to do so). Value securities may go in and out of favor over time.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Value Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Value Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Value Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Value Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Value Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Value Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Value Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Value Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Value Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Value Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Value Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Value Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Income Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Income 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 Income Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Income Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

*The Motley Fool Income Index* 

The Income Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by a stock's income, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Income is a measure of a stock's relative strength based on its recent market performance and/or the performance of similar stocks.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF, are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, or are companies supplied to the Index Provider by analysts at Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Income Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology.

The Index Provider's proprietary Income Factor Score is a composite score that incorporates dividend yield, dividend appreciation and dividend quality metrics in assessing a company's composite income attractiveness. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after preliminary liquidity and dividend screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Income Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Income Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Income Factor Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Income Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Income Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Income Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Income Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Dividend-Paying Stock Risk .** While the Income Fund holds stocks of companies directly or through ETFs that have historically paid a high dividend yield, those companies may reduce or discontinue their dividends, reducing the yield of the Fund. Low priced stocks in the Income Fund may be more susceptible to these risks. Past dividend payments are not a guarantee of future dividend payments. Also, the market return of high dividend yield stocks, in certain market conditions, may perform worse than other investment strategies or the overall stock market. The Income Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Income Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Income Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Income Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Income Fund. The Income Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Income Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Income Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Income Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Income Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Income Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Income Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Income Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Income Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Income Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Income Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Income Index reflects such errors, the Income Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** Investments in securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Income Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Income Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Income Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Income Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Income Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Income Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Income Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Income Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Income Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Income Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Income Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Income Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Income Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Income Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Income Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Income Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Income Fund and Income Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Income Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Income Index. In addition, the Income Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Income Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Income Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Income Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Income Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Income Fund's website at www.fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Income Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Income Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Income Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Income Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Income Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Income Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Income Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Income Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Income Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The International Opportunities Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when International Opportunities 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 International Opportunities Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the International Opportunities Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The International Opportunities Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), and pursues its investment objective by using a quality growth investing style. The International Opportunities Fund primarily invests in a focused portfolio of the common stocks and depositary receipts (including unsponsored depositary receipts) of high-quality companies in other developed countries around the world. As of June 30, 2025, developed countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The International Opportunities Fund will invest, under normal circumstances, in at least three different countries, and will invest at least 40% of its assets outside of the United States, or, if the conditions are not favorable, will invest at least 30% of its assets outside the United States. For this purpose, a company is considered to be located outside the United States if: (i) it is organized under the laws of or maintains its principal office in a country located outside the United States; (ii) its securities are principally traded on trading markets in countries located outside the United States; (iii) it derives at least 50% of its total revenue or profits from either goods produced or services performed or sales made in countries located outside the United States; or (iv) it has at least 50% of its assets in countries located outside the United States. The International Opportunities Fund seeks to stay fully invested and does not attempt to time the market. Although the International Opportunities Fund does not have market capitalization constraints. The International Opportunities Fund may invest in securities of companies organized under the laws of emerging market countries.

In identifying investments for the International Opportunities Fund, Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") looks for securities of companies that have high-quality businesses with strong market positions, manageable leverage, robust streams of free cash flow, and trade at attractive prices. In managing the International Opportunities Fund's investment portfolio, the Adviser regularly reviews and adjusts the International Opportunities Fund's allocations to particular markets and sectors to maintain a diversified mix of investments that the Adviser believes offer the best overall potential for long-term growth of capital. The International Opportunities Fund will sell securities in which it has invested based upon the Adviser's analysis of fundamental investment criteria, including its assessment of the current value of a security relative to the security's current market price, business fundamentals relating to the issuer, and developments affecting the issuer's business prospects and risks.

The International Opportunities Fund prefers to invest in high-quality businesses when possible. To identify these high quality businesses, the Adviser engages in research to evaluate each company under consideration using four criteria: management, culture, and incentives; the economics of the business; competitive advantage; and trajectory. The Adviser's approach employs a long-term mindset and a balance of qualitative and quantitative factors.

*Management, Culture, and Incentives.* 

The Adviser believes that management is a key element to long-term success at most businesses. Among the factors the Adviser considers are: manager and board of director fit, the clarity of vision and strategies, main-line culture and turnover, ownership in the business, the sensibility of incentives, capital allocation choices and results, external transparency and candor, and overall treatment of stakeholders.

*Economics of the Business.* 

The Adviser believes that the economic performance of a business is a signal for quality. The Adviser's process looks at the company's long-term return on capital, the scalability of its business model, relative and absolute margins, business and product cyclicality, and other key performance indicators to gain insight into its potential for future performance.

*Competitive Advantage.* 

The Adviser seeks companies that offer certain characteristics that allow them to generate and sustain outsized returns on capital on an absolute basis as well as in comparison to their peers. Competitive advantages may include pricing power, geographic barriers to entry, network effects, regulatory barriers to entry, and superior brands, among others. The Adviser also assesses the strength of the supporting capabilities each company possesses that reinforce these advantages to result in unique positioning.

*Trajectory.* 

Companies often display superior economics over the short term due to favorable product cycles, customer preference, temporary or tactical advantages or other reasons. As the Adviser's desire is to own companies in the International Opportunities Fund that can be kept in the portfolio for many years, a core part of the Adviser's process is to consider what the company might look like over a period of ten or more years. The Adviser considers whether the company seems likely to grow, to increase profitability through additional products or other offerings, and if it has optionality and the financial capacity that may make it a larger, stronger business in the future than it might be today.

The International Opportunities Fund's investment portfolio is focused, generally composed of between 30 and 50 investment positions, with the 10 largest positions representing not more than 60% of the International Opportunities Fund's net assets. To limit the risks associated with highly concentrated holdings, the International Opportunities

Fund does not invest more than 5% of its net assets in any one class of the securities of any one issuer at the time of purchase. If a portfolio holding grows to be greater than 5% of the International Opportunities Fund's net assets the Adviser may not add additional capital to the position. However, the Adviser may maintain an allocation above 5% indefinitely, provided it continues to meet the Adviser's investment criteria.

The International Opportunities Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the International Opportunities Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund.

While investing in a particular sector is not a principal investment strategy of the International Opportunities Fund, its portfolio may be significantly invested in a sector as a result of the portfolio management decisions made pursuant to its principal investment strategy. The International Opportunities Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The International Opportunities Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the International Opportunities Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the International Opportunities Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the International Opportunities Fund, and there can be no assurance that the International Opportunities Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the International Opportunities Markets Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Active Management Risk .** The International Opportunities Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Adviser's investment approach may fail to produce the intended results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the International Opportunities Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Currency Risk .** Currency risk results from changes in the rate of exchange between the currency of the country in which a foreign company is domiciled or keeps its books and the U.S. dollar. Whenever the International Opportunities Fund holds securities valued in a foreign currency or holds the currency itself in connection with its purchases and sales of foreign securities, changes in the exchange rate add to or subtract from the value of the investment in U.S. dollars. The International Opportunities Fund generally does not seek to hedge currency risk, and although the Adviser considers currency risks as part of its investment process, its judgments in this regard may not always be correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the International Opportunities Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the International Opportunities Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the International Opportunities Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The International Opportunities Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the International Opportunities Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events

affecting the International Opportunities Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the International Opportunities Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the International Opportunities Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Depositary Receipts Risk .** The International Opportunities Fund may purchase depositary receipts (American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depositary receipts ("EDRs"), Global Depositary receipts ("GDRs"), and Non-Voting Depositary Receipts ("NVDRs")) to facilitate its investments in foreign securities. By investing in ADRs rather than investing directly in the securities of foreign issuers, the International Opportunities Fund can avoid currency risks during the settlement period for purchase and sales. However, ADRs do not eliminate all the risks inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. Depositary receipts may be issued in a sponsored program, in which an issuer has made arrangements to have its securities traded in the form of depositary receipts, or in an unsponsored program, in which the issuer may not be directly involved. The holders of depositary receipts that are unsponsored generally bear various costs associated with the facilities, while a larger portion of the costs associated with sponsored depositary receipts are typically borne by the foreign issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Market Risk.** The equity securities held in the International Opportunities Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the International Opportunities Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the International Opportunities Fund. The International Opportunities Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, International Opportunities Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the International Opportunities Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the International Opportunities Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in International Opportunities Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the International Opportunities Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Foreign Investments Risk .** The International Opportunities Fund invests in the securities of foreign companies. Investing in securities of foreign companies involves risks generally not associated with investments in the securities of U.S. companies, including the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, less stringent investor protections, unreliable and untimely information about issuers, and political and economic instability. Foreign securities in which the International Opportunities Fund invests may be traded in markets that close before the time that the International Opportunities Fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV"). Furthermore, certain foreign securities in which the International Opportunities Fund invests may be listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the International Opportunities Fund does not calculate its NAV. As a result, the value of the International Opportunities Fund's holdings may change on days when shareholders are not able to purchase or redeem the International Opportunities Fund's shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Investment Style Risk .** The International Opportunities Fund pursues a quality growth style of investing. Quality growth style investing focuses on companies that appear attractive in light of factors such as the quality of management, sustainability of competitive advantage, or growth potential of cash flow. If the Adviser's assessment of a company's quality or intrinsic value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is inaccurate, the International Opportunities Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, the stocks of quality companies can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. As a consequence of its investing style the International Opportunities Fund may underperform the market and its peers over short timeframes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the International Opportunities Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the International Opportunities Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Emerging Market Countries Risk .** Investing in emerging market countries involves risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. In many less developed markets, there is less governmental supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than there is in more developed markets. The securities markets of certain countries in which the International Opportunities Fund may invest may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility than those of more developed markets. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. The International Opportunities Fund seeks to invest no more than 20% of its net assets in emerging market countries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the International Opportunities Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the International Opportunities Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the International Opportunities Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The International Opportunities Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The International Opportunities Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the International Opportunities Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk .** The International Opportunities Fund invests in securities of companies of all sizes, including those that have relatively small market capitalizations. Investments in securities of these companies involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of small-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to the company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the International Opportunities Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the International Opportunities Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the International Opportunities Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the International Opportunities Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the International Opportunities Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the International Opportunities Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the International Opportunities Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased International Opportunities Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $87 | $271 |

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Large Cap Growth Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Large Cap Growth 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 Large Cap Growth Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Large Cap Growth Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Large Cap Growth Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and pursues its investment objective by using a quality growth investing style. The Large Cap Growth Fund invests in a focused portfolio of the common stocks of high-quality companies domiciled in the United States that are engaged in a broad range of industries.

Under normal market conditions, the Large Cap Growth Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities issued by United States companies having large market capitalizations with growth characteristics. For this purpose, Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") currently defines large market capitalization companies as having similar market capitalizations to the companies in the Russell 1000 Total Return Index, which is used for the purpose of determining range and not for targeting portfolio

management. As of October 31, 2025, the average dollar-weighted market cap of the Russell 1000 Total Return Index was approximately $1.37 trillion. The median market cap was approximately $16.2 billion and the largest stock included in the index had a market cap of approximately $4.94 trillion. Under normal circumstances, the Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to stay fully invested and does not attempt to time the market.

In identifying investments with growth characteristics, the Adviser looks for securities of companies that have high quality businesses with strong market positions, manageable leverage, robust streams of free cash flow, and trade at attractive prices. In managing the Large Cap Growth Fund's investment portfolio, the Adviser regularly reviews and adjusts the Large Cap Growth Fund's allocations to maintain a diversified mix of investments that the Adviser believes offer the best overall potential for long-term growth of capital. The Large Cap Growth Fund will sell securities in which it has invested based upon the Adviser's analysis of fundamental investment criteria, including its assessment of the current value of a security relative to the security's current market price, business fundamentals relating to the issuer, and developments affecting the issuer's business prospects and risks.

The Large Cap Growth Fund prefers to invest in high-quality businesses when possible. To identify these high-quality businesses, the Adviser engages in research to evaluate each company under consideration using four criteria: management, culture, and incentives; the economics of the business; competitive advantage; and trajectory. The Adviser's approach employs a long-term mindset and a balance of qualitative and quantitative factors.

*Management, Culture, and Incentives.* 

The Adviser believes that management is a key element to long-term success at most businesses. Among the factors the Adviser considers are: manager and board of director fit, the clarity of vision and strategies, main-line culture and turnover, ownership in the business, the sensibility of incentives, capital allocation choices and results, external transparency and candor, and overall treatment of stakeholders.

*Economics of the Business.* 

The Adviser believes that the economic performance of a business is a signal for quality. The Adviser's process looks at the company's long-term return on capital, the scalability of its business model, relative and absolute margins, business and product cyclicality, and other key performance indicators to gain insight into its potential for future performance.

*Competitive Advantage.* 

The Adviser seeks companies that offer certain characteristics that allow them to generate and sustain outsized returns on capital on an absolute basis as well as in comparison to their peers. Competitive advantages may include pricing power, geographic barriers to entry, network effects, regulatory barriers to entry and superior brands, among others. The Adviser also assesses the strength of the supporting capabilities each company possesses that reinforce these advantages to result in unique positioning.

*Trajectory.* 

Companies often display superior economics over the short term due to favorable product cycles, customer preference, temporary or tactical advantages or other reasons. As the Adviser's desire is to own companies in the Large Cap Growth Fund that can be kept in the portfolio for many years, a core part of the Adviser's process is to consider what the company might look like over a period of ten or more years. The Adviser considers whether the company seems likely to grow, to increase profitability through additional products or other offerings, and if it has optionality and the financial capacity that may make it a larger, stronger business in the future than it might be today.

The Large Cap Growth Fund's investment portfolio is focused, generally composed of at least 30 investment positions, with the 10 largest positions representing not more than 60% of the Large Cap Growth Fund's net assets. To limit the risks associated with highly concentrated holdings, the Large Cap Growth Fund generally does not invest more than 5% of its net assets in securities of any one issuer at the time of purchase. If a portfolio holding grows to be greater than 5% of the Large Cap Growth Fund's net assets the Adviser may not add additional capital to the position. However, the Adviser may maintain an allocation above 5% indefinitely, provided it continues to meet the Adviser's investment criteria.

The Large Cap Growth Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Large Cap Growth Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund.

While investing in a particular sector is not a principal investment strategy of the Large Cap Growth Fund, its portfolio may be significantly invested in a sector as a result of the portfolio management decisions made pursuant to its principal investment strategy. The Large Cap Growth Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending portfolio securities.

The Large Cap Growth Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Large Cap Growth Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Large Cap Growth Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Large Cap Growth Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Large Cap Growth Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Large Cap Growth Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Active Management Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Adviser's investment approach may fail to produce the intended results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Large Cap Growth Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Large Cap Growth Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Large Cap Growth Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Large Cap Growth Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Large Cap Growth Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Large Cap Growth Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Large Cap Growth Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Large Cap Growth Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Large Cap Growth Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk*. Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Large Cap Growth Fund. The Large Cap Growth Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Large Cap Growth Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers

and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Large Cap Growth Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Large Cap Growth Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Large Cap Growth Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Large Cap Growth Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Growth Investing Risk.** The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer's future earnings and revenues. If a company's earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may be volatile and may also be more expensive, relative to their earnings or assets, compared to value or other stocks. In addition, growth stocks as a group may fall out of favor and underperform the overall equity market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Investment Style Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund pursues a quality growth style of investing. Quality growth investing focuses on companies that appear attractively priced in light of factors such as the quality of management, sustainability of competitive advantage, or growth potential of cash flow. If the Adviser's assessment of a company's quality or intrinsic value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is inaccurate, the Large Cap Growth Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, the stocks of quality companies can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. As a consequence of our investing style we expect the Large Cap Growth Fund will underperform the market and its peers over short time frames.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large Capitalization Companies Risk.** Investments in securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Large Cap Growth Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Large Cap Growth Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Large Cap Growth Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Large Cap Growth Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Large Cap Growth Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Large Cap Growth Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Large Cap Growth Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Large Cap Growth Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Large Cap Growth Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Large Cap Growth Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Large Cap Growth Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Large Cap Growth Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Large Cap Growth Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Large Cap Growth Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Large Cap Growth Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Large Cap Growth Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Large Cap Growth Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Large Cap Growth Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Large Cap Growth Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Large Cap Growth Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Momentum Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Momentum Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Momentum Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Momentum Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Momentum 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 Momentum Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Momentum Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Momentum Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Momentum Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Momentum Fund.

*The Motley Fool Momentum Index* 

The Momentum Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by a stock's momentum, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Momentum is a measure of a stock's relative strength based on its recent market performance and/or the performance of similar stocks.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Momentum Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity and for calculating the Momentum Factor Score. Specifically, the liquidity requirements mandate that at least $1 million worth of a company's shares trade daily, on average, during the preceding three months. With respect to calculating momentum, a stock must be assigned numerical values for each of the three component scores that comprise the Momentum Factor Score. Additionally, stocks must have a positive Core Momentum score in order to be included in the candidate stock universe for the Momentum Index on a given weighting date.

The Index Provider's proprietary Momentum Factor Score is a composite score that incorporates price momentum, factor momentum, and other relative strength metrics in assessing a company's composite momentum. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after liquidity and core momentum screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Momentum Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Momentum Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Momentum Factor Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Momentum Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Momentum Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Momentum Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Momentum Index and the percentage of the Momentum Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Momentum Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Momentum Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Momentum Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Momentum Fund. Additional information regarding the Momentum Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Momentum Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Momentum Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Momentum Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Momentum Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Momentum Fund's performance and that of the Momentum Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Momentum Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Momentum Index. However, the Momentum Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Momentum Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Momentum Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Momentum Fund (e.g., when

replicating the Momentum Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Momentum Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Momentum Fund but not to the Momentum Index).

The Momentum Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Momentum Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Momentum Fund track the Momentum Index. For example, the Momentum Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Momentum Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Momentum Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Momentum Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Momentum Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Momentum Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Momentum Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Momentum Index.

The Momentum Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Momentum Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Momentum Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Momentum Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Momentum Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Momentum Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Momentum Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Momentum Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Momentum Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk .** The Momentum Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Momentum Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Momentum Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Momentum Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Momentum Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Momentum Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Momentum Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Momentum Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Momentum Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Momentum Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Momentum Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Momentum Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Momentum Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Momentum Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Momentum Fund. The Momentum Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Momentum Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Momentum Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Momentum Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Momentum Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Momentum Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Momentum Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Momentum Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Momentum Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Momentum Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Momentum Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Momentum Index reflects such errors, the Momentum Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk .** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Momentum Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Momentum Securities Risk .** Securities that previously exhibited greater momentum characteristics than other securities may not continue to experience positive momentum, and such a change could occur quickly. Momentum securities may experience more volatility than the market as a whole, and their returns may be less than the returns of other styles of investing or the overall stock market. The Momentum Fund may experience significant losses if momentum stops, reverses or otherwise behaves differently than predicted. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style of investing is out of favor, and the investment performance of the Momentum Fund may suffer during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Momentum Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Momentum Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Momentum Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Momentum Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Momentum Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Momentum Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Momentum Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Momentum Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Momentum Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Momentum Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Momentum Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Momentum Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Momentum Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Momentum Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Momentum Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Momentum Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Momentum Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk .** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Momentum Fund and Momentum Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Momentum Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Momentum Index. In addition, the Momentum Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Momentum Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Momentum Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Momentum Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Momentum Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Momentum Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Momentum Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Momentum Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Momentum Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Momentum Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Momentum Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Momentum Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Momentum Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest

by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Momentum Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Momentum Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Multi-Factor Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Multi-Factor Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Multi-Factor Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $66 | $208 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Multi-Factor Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Multi-Factor 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 Multi-Factor Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Multi-Factor Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Multi-Factor Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and pursues its investment objective using a systematic framework encompassing evaluation of companies using quantitative factor rotation, risk management, and portfolio construction. Using this framework, the Multi-Factor Fund seeks exposure to identified structural trends in U.S. markets. The Multi-Factor Fund to invest at least 80% of total assets in U.S. stocks that have been recommended by The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") analysts and newsletters and/or Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") analysts, and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. TMF is an affiliate of the Adviser.

Under normal circumstances Multi-Factor Fund seeks to stay fully invested and employ a long-term mindset of systematic factor rotation to position the portfolio.

In managing the Multi-Factor Fund's investment portfolio, the Adviser regularly reviews and adjusts the Multi-Factor Fund's allocations to maintain a diversified mix of investments that the Adviser believes offer the best overall potential for long-term growth of capital.

The Multi-Factor Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Multi-Factor Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund.

The Multi-Factor Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Multi-Factor Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Multi-Factor Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Multi-Factor Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Multi-Factor Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Multi-Factor Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Multi-Factor Fund's principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Multi-Factor Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Active Management Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio. The Adviser's investment approach may fail to produce the intended results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Multi-Factor Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Multi-Factor Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Multi-Factor Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Multi-Factor Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Multi-Factor Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Multi-Factor Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Multi-Factor Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Multi-Factor Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Multi-Factor Fund. The Multi-Factor Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Multi-Factor Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Multi-Factor Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Multi-Factor Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Multi-Factor Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Multi-Factor Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Multi-Factor Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Multi-Factor Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Multi-Factor Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Multi-Factor Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Multi-Factor Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Multi-Factor Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Multi-Factor Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Multi-Factor Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Multi-Factor Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Multi-Factor Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Smart Volatility Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods.

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Smart Volatility Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Smart Volatility 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 Smart Volatility Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Smart Volatility Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Smart Volatility Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Smart Volatility Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Smart Volatility Fund.

*The Motley Fool Smart Volatility Index* 

The Smart Volatility Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the performance of the highest scoring stocks of U.S. companies, measured by the attractiveness of a stock's priced risk, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Volatility investing refers to strategies that target specific volatility ranges and/or characteristics at the portfolio level. The Motley Fool Smart Volatility Fund seeks investments in stocks with elevated levels of risk based on measures like beta and residual volatility while maintaining high risk-adjusted returns based on measures like Sharpe ratios and information ratios.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Smart Volatility Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity and for calculating the Smart Volatility Composite Score. Specifically, the liquidity requirements mandate that at least $1 million worth of a company's shares trade daily, on average, during the preceding three months. With respect to calculating crowdsourced attractiveness, a stock must be assigned numerical values for each of the three component scores that comprise the Smart Volatility Composite Score.

The Index Provider's proprietary Smart Volatility Composite Score is a composite score that incorporates The Motley Fool's proprietary risk model to identify sources of priced risk and assess a company's composite smart volatility attractiveness. To determine final index membership, candidate stocks are first ranked based on their composite scores. The top 100 stocks are then selected based on index continuity rules. If fewer than 100 stocks remain after liquidity screens are applied, then all eligible securities are included in the index.

Each selected company's share of the Smart Volatility Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Smart Volatility Index companies' aggregate market value multiplied by their respective Smart Volatility Composite Scores. A maximum position size limit of 4.8% is also enforced (tested at the time of rebalancing and subject to index continuity rules). The Smart Volatility Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Smart Volatility Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Smart Volatility Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Smart Volatility Index and the percentage of the Smart Volatility Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Smart Volatility Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Smart Volatility Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Smart Volatility Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Smart Volatility Fund. Additional information regarding the Smart Volatility Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Smart Volatility Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Smart Volatility Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Smart Volatility Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Smart Volatility Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Smart Volatility Fund's performance and that of the Smart Volatility Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Smart Volatility Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Smart Volatility Index. However, the Smart Volatility Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Smart Volatility Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Smart Volatility Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Smart Volatility Fund (e.g., when replicating the Smart Volatility Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Smart Volatility Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Smart Volatility Fund but not to the Smart Volatility Index).

The Smart Volatility Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Smart Volatility Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Smart Volatility Fund track the Smart Volatility Index. For example, the Smart Volatility Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Smart Volatility Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Smart Volatility Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Smart Volatility Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Smart Volatility Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Smart Volatility Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Smart Volatility Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Smart Volatility Index.

The Smart Volatility Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Smart Volatility Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Smart Volatility Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Smart Volatility Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Smart Volatility Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Smart Volatility Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Smart Volatility Fund's principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Smart Volatility Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Smart Volatility Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Smart Volatility Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Smart Volatility Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Smart Volatility Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Smart Volatility Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Smart Volatility Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Smart Volatility Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Smart Volatility Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Smart Volatility Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Smart Volatility Fund. The Smart Volatility Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Smart Volatility Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Smart Volatility Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Smart Volatility Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Smart Volatility Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Smart Volatility Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Smart Volatility Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Smart Volatility Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Smart Volatility Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Smart Volatility Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Smart Volatility Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Smart Volatility Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Smart Volatility Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Smart Volatility Index reflects such errors, the Smart Volatility Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Smart Volatility Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Smart Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Smart Volatility Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Smart Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Smart Volatility Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Smart Volatility Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Smart Volatility Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Smart Volatility Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Smart Volatility Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Smart Volatility Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Smart Volatility Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Smart Volatility Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Smart Volatility Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Smart Volatility Fund and Smart Volatility Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Smart Volatility Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Smart Volatility Index. In addition, the Smart Volatility Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Smart Volatility Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Smart Volatility Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Smart Volatility Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Smart Volatility Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Smart Volatility Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Smart Volatility Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Smart Volatility Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Smart Volatility Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Smart Volatility Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Smart Volatility Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Smart Volatility Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Smart Volatility Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Smart Volatility Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Smart Volatility Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fool 100 Equal Weight 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 Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund.

*The Motley Fool 100 Equal Weight Index* 

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of the 100 largest U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Equal weight investing strategies maintain equivalent nominal exposure to all stocks in a selection pool, reducing portfolio concentrations of larger-capitalization stocks while increasing concentrations to smaller-capitalization stocks.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Each selected company's share of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index (or "weighting") receives an identical portfolio weight on the weighting date. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index and the percentage of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund. Additional information regarding the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's performance and that of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. However, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund (e.g., when replicating the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Fool 100 Equal Weight Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund but not to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index).

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund track the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. For example, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index.

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equal Weighting Risk .** Equal weight strategies do not apply risk- or conviction-based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies. Additionally, equal weight strategies place more weight on smaller capitalization stocks, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger capitalization stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index reflects such errors, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund and Fool 100 Equal Weight Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. In addition, the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Next Equal Weight Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Next Equal Weight Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Next Equal Weight Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Next Equal Weight Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Next Equal Weight 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 Next Equal Weight Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Next Equal Weight Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Fool 100 Equal Weight Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund.

*The Motley Fool Next Equal Weight Index* 

The Next Equal Weight Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of mid- and small-capitalization U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Equal weight investing strategies maintain equivalent nominal exposure to all stocks in a selection pool, reducing portfolio concentrations of larger-capitalization stocks while increasing concentrations to smaller-capitalization stocks.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Next Equal Weight Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Once the eligible universe is determined, inclusion in the Next Equal Weight Index is determined based on the same market capitalization and index continuity rules that apply to the Motley Fool 100 Index and the Motley Fool Next Index (the standard indexes). A buffer of 30% of the Motley Fool 100 Index membership target - or 30 stocks - is used to prevent frequent turnover around the Motley Fool 100 Index/Next Index cutoff. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 70 positions based on firm-level market capitalization (70% of the 100-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe for the Motley Fool 100 Index. Additionally, companies that were previously included in the Motley Fool 100 Index will still be included as long as their market capitalization rank is equal to or better than 130 (130% of the 100-stock target). Stocks are then added to the Motley Fool 100 Equal Weight Index based on market capitalization rank until the 100-stock target is reached. The remaining stocks are included in the Fool Next Equal Weight Index

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Each selected company's share of the Next Equal Weight Index (or "weighting") receives an identical portfolio weight on the weighting date. The Next Equal Weight Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Next Equal Weight Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Next Equal Weight Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Next Equal Weight Index and the percentage of the Next Equal Weight Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Next Equal Weight Index will typically include 100-400 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Next Equal Weight Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Next Equal Weight Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Next Equal Weight Fund. Additional information regarding the Next Equal Weight Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Next Equal Weight Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Fool Next Equal Weight Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Next Equal Weight Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Next Equal Weight Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Next Equal Weight Fund's performance and that of the Next Equal Weight Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Next Equal Weight Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Next Equal Weight Index. However, the Next Equal Weight Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Next Equal Weight Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Next Equal Weight Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Next Equal Weight Fund (e.g., when replicating the Next Equal Weight Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Next Equal Weight Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Next Equal Weight Fund but not to the Next Equal Weight Index).

The Next Equal Weight Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Next Equal Weight Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Next Equal Weight Fund track the Next Equal Weight Index. For example, the Next Equal Weight Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Next Equal Weight Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Next Equal Weight Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Next Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Next Equal Weight Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Next Equal Weight Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Next Equal Weight Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Next Equal Weight Index.

The Next Equal Weight Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Next Equal Weight Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Next Equal Weight Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Next Equal Weight Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Next Equal Weight Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Next Equal Weight Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Next Equal Weight Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Next Equal Weight Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Next Equal Weight Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Next Equal Weight Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Next Equal Weight Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Next Equal Weight Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Next Equal Weight Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Next Equal Weight Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Next Equal Weight Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to

prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Next Equal Weight Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Next Equal Weight Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Next Equal Weight Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Next Equal Weight Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equal Weighting Risk.** Equal weight strategies do not apply risk- or conviction-based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies.Additionally, equal weight strategies place more weight on smaller capitalization stocks, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger capitalization stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Next Equal Weight Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Next Equal Weight Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Next Equal Weight Fund. The Next Equal Weight Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Next Equal Weight Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Next Equal Weight Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Next Equal Weight Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Next Equal Weight Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Next Equal Weight Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Next Equal Weight Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Next Equal Weight Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Next Equal Weight Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected

in the Next Equal Weight Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Next Equal Weight Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Next Equal Weight Index reflects such errors, the Next Equal Weight Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Next Equal Weight Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Next Equal Weight Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Next Equal Weight Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Next Equal Weight Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Next Equal Weight Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Next Equal Weight Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Next Equal Weight Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Next Equal Weight Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Next Equal Weight Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Next Equal Weight Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Next Equal Weight Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Next Equal Weight Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker- dealers. The Next Equal Weight Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Next Equal Weight Fund and Next Equal Weight Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Next Equal Weight Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Next Equal Weight Index. In addition, the Next Equal Weight Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Next Equal Weight Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Next Equal Weight Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Next Equal Weight Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Next Equal Weight Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Next Equal Weight Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Next Equal Weight Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Next Equal Weight Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Next Equal Weight Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Next Equal Weight Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Next Equal Weight Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fool 100 Minimum Volatility 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 Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

*The Motley Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index* 

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of the 100 largest U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Minimum Volatility investing strategies utilize risk optimization techniques to reduce the realized volatility of fund performance. These strategies typically target an exact, maximum-allowable, or minimum-achievable level of volatility.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Each selected company's share of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index (or "weighting") receives a portfolio weight on the weighting date determined by a risk minimization process. That is, weights are assigned using a modeling process that produces the index with the lowest forecast volatility. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index and the percentage of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index will typically include 70-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. Additional information regarding the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's performance and that of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index. However, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund (e.g., when replicating the Fool

100 Minimum Volatility Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund but not to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index).

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund track the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index. For example, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index.

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial

losses to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk**. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index reflects such errors, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Managed Volatility Risk.** Minimum volatility strategies apply risk--based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies.Additionally, minimum volatility strategies place more weight on stocks that are more stable, and therefore subject to the risk of underperformance during periods of rapid market expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker- dealers. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index. In addition, the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index.

**Performance Information:**Performance information for the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Next Minimum Volatility Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund.

*The Motley Fool Next Minimum Volatility Index* 

The Next Minimum Volatility Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of mid- and small-capitalization U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Minimum Volatility investing strategies utilize risk optimization techniques to reduce the realized volatility of fund performance. These strategies typically target an exact, maximum-allowable, or minimum-achievable level of volatility.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Next Minimum Volatility Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Once the eligible universe is determined, inclusion in the Next Minimum Volatility Index is determined based on the same market capitalization and index continuity rules that apply to the Motley Fool 100 Index and the Motley Fool Next Index (the standard indexes). A buffer of 30% of the Motley Fool 100 Index membership target - or 30 stocks - is used to prevent frequent turnover around the Motley Fool 100 Index/Next Index cutoff. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 70 positions based on firm-level market capitalization (70% of the 100-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe for the Motley Fool 100 Index. Additionally, companies that were previously included in the Motley Fool 100 Index will still be included as long as their market capitalization rank is equal to or better than 130 (130% of the 100-stock target). Stocks are then added to the Motley Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index based on market capitalization rank until the 100-stock target is reached. The remaining stocks are included in the Fool Next Minimum Volatility Index

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Each selected company's share of the Next Minimum Volatility Index (or "weighting") receives a portfolio weight on the weighting date determined by a risk minimization process. That is, weights are assigned using a modeling process that produces the index with the lowest forecast volatility. The Next Minimum Volatility Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Next Minimum Volatility Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Next Minimum Volatility Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Next Minimum Volatility Index and the percentage of the Next Minimum Volatility Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Next Minimum Volatility Index will typically include 100-400 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Next Minimum Volatility Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Next Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund. Additional information regarding the Next Minimum Volatility Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Next Minimum Volatility Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Next Minimum Volatility Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Next Minimum Volatility Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's performance and that of the Next Minimum Volatility Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Next Minimum Volatility Index. However, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Next Minimum Volatility Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Next Minimum Volatility Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund (e.g., when replicating the Next Minimum Volatility Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Next Minimum Volatility Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund but not to the Next Minimum Volatility Index).

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Next Minimum Volatility Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Next Minimum Volatility Fund track the Next Minimum Volatility Index. For example, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Next Minimum Volatility Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Next Minimum Volatility Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Next Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Next Minimum Volatility Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Next Minimum Volatility Index.

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Next Minimum Volatility Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Next Minimum Volatility Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Next Minimum Volatility Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

● **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Next Minimum Volatility Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Next Minimum Volatility Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's assets, Next Minimum Volatility Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Next Minimum Volatility Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Next Minimum Volatility Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Next Minimum Volatility Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Next Minimum Volatility Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Next Minimum Volatility Fund. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Next Minimum Volatility Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Next Minimum Volatility Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Next Minimum Volatility Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Next Minimum Volatility Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Next Minimum Volatility Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Next Minimum Volatility Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Next Minimum Volatility Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Next Minimum Volatility Index reflects such errors, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Managed Volatility Risk .** Minimum volatility strategies apply risk--based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies.Additionally, minimum volatility strategies place more weight on stocks that are more stable, and therefore subject to the risk of underperformance during periods of rapid market expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of mid-capitalization companies may involve greater risks than do investments in larger, more established companies. The prices of securities of mid-cap companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments specific to a company or its industry, or the securities markets generally, than are securities of larger capitalization companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk**. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Next Minimum Volatility Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Next Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Next Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Next Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Next Minimum Volatility Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Next Minimum Volatility Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Next Minimum Volatility Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk .** The Next Minimum Volatility Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker- dealers. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund and Next Minimum Volatility Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Next Minimum Volatility Index. In addition, the Next Minimum Volatility Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Next Minimum Volatility Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Next Minimum Volatility Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Next Minimum Volatility Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Next Minimum Volatility Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Next Minimum Volatility Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Next Minimum Volatility Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Next Minimum Volatility Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Next Minimum Volatility Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Next Minimum Volatility Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Next Minimum Volatility Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Next Minimum Volatility Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Next Minimum Volatility Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

**Motley Fool Rising 100 ETF** 

**Summary Section** 

**Investment Objective** 

The Motley Fool Rising 100 ETF (the "Rising 100 Fund") seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the total return performance of the Motley Fool Rising 100 Index (the "Rising 100 Index" – for more on this, see the "Principal Investment Strategies" section).

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Rising 100 Fund ("Shares"). **This table and the Example below do not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of Rising 100 Fund Shares.** 

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment):**  |  |
| Management Fees | 0.50% |
| Distribution (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Rising 100 Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Rising 100 Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Rising 100 Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Rising 100 Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Rising 100 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 Rising 100 Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Rising 100 Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Rising 100 Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Rising 100 Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Rising 100 Fund.

*The Motley Fool Rising 100 Index* 

The Rising 100 Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of the 100 smallest U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Small-capitalization investing strategies assume positions in stocks with low market capitalizations, which may offer more growth opportunities relative to larger-capitalization stocks and whose performance may deviate from the broad market.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Rising 100 Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Once the eligible universe is determined, inclusion in the Rising 100 Index is determined based on market capitalization and index continuity rules. The smallest 100 companies by market capitalization are identified within the universe. A buffer of 30% of the Rising 100 Index membership target - or 30 stocks - is used to prevent frequent turnover around the Rising 100 Index. Specifically, companies that were previously included in the Rising 100 Index will still be included as long as their reverse market capitalization rank is equal to or lower than 130 (130% of the 100-stock target). Stocks are then added to the Rising 100 Index based on reverse market capitalization rank until the 100-stock target is reached.

Each selected company's share of the Rising 100 Index (or "weighting") is set to equal the company's share of all Rising 100 Index companies' aggregate market value. The Rising 100 Index will typically include 90-100 companies at any time. The Rising 100 Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Rising 100 Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Rising 100 Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Rising 100 Index and the percentage of the Rising 100 Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Rising 100 Index will typically include 90-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Rising 100 Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Rising 100 Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Rising 100 Fund. Additional information regarding the Rising 100 Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Rising 100 Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Rising 100 Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Rising 100 Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Rising 100 Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Rising 100 Fund's performance and that of the Rising 100 Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Rising 100 Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Rising 100 Index. However, the Rising 100 Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Rising 100 Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Rising 100 Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Rising 100 Fund (e.g., when replicating the Rising 100 Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Rising 100 Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Rising 100 Fund but not to the Rising 100 Index).

The Rising 100 Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Rising 100 Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Rising 100 Fund track the Rising 100 Index. For example, the Rising 100 Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Rising 100 Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Rising 100 Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Rising 100 Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Rising 100 Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Rising 100 Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Rising 100 Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Rising 100 Index.

The Rising 100 Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Rising 100 Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Rising 100 Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Rising 100 Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Rising 100 Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Rising 100 Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Rising 100 Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Rising 100 Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Rising 100 Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Rising 100 Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Rising 100 Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Rising 100 Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Rising 100 Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Rising 100 Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Rising 100 Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Rising 100 Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Rising 100 Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Rising 100 Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Rising 100 Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Rising 100 Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Rising 100 Fund

invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Rising 100 Fund. The Rising 100 Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Rising 100 Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Rising 100 Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Rising 100 Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Rising 100 Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Rising 100 Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Rising 100 Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Rising 100 Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Rising 100 Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Rising 100 Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Rising 100 Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Rising 100 Index reflects such errors, the Rising 100 Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Micro-Capitalization Companies Risk .** The securities of micro-capitalization companies, which typically have market capitalizations below $250 million, present greater risks than those of small-capitalization companies. Micro-capitalization companies may be in the earliest stages of development, may have extremely limited operating histories, and may depend on niche or unproven products and services. Their securities often trade in very low volumes, which can result in limited liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater price volatility. Due to their size, these companies are more susceptible to adverse developments such as business setbacks, reduced access to capital markets, changes in market conditions, or unfavorable regulatory developments. Micro-capitalization companies typically provide less public information than larger companies, which can make it more difficult for investors to evaluate their prospects. The combination of these factors can make investments in micro-capitalization companies more speculative and more likely to result in losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Rising 100 Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Rising 100 Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Rising 100 Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Rising 100 Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Rising 100 Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Rising 100 Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Rising 100 Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Rising 100 Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Rising 100 Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Rising 100 Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Rising 100 Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Rising 100 Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker- dealers. The Rising 100 Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Rising 100 Fund and Rising 100 Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Rising 100 Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Rising 100 Index. In addition, the Rising 100 Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Rising 100 Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Rising 100 Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Rising 100 Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Rising 100 Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Rising 100 Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Rising 100 Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Rising 100 Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Rising 100 Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Rising 100 Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Rising 100 Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Rising 100 Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Rising 100 Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Rising 100 Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Rising 100 Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

*Example* 

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that: (1) your investment has a 5% return each year, and (2) the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $51 | $160 |

---

*Portfolio Turnover* 

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Rising 100 Minimum Volatility 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 Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's performance. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies** 

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and employs a "passive management" – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index. Motley Fool Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") serves as the investment adviser to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

*The Motley Fool Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index* 

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index was established in 2025 by Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC (the "Index Provider"), and is a proprietary, rules-based index designed to track the stock performance of mid- and small-capitalization U.S. companies, measured by a stock's issuer-level market cap, that have been recommended by the analysts and newsletters of The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF") and that also meet certain liquidity requirements. Both the Index Provider and TMF are affiliates of the Adviser.

Minimum volatility investing strategies utilize risk optimization techniques to reduce the realized volatility of fund performance. These strategies typically target an exact, maximum-allowable, or minimum-achievable level of volatility. Small-capitalization investing strategies assume positions in stocks with low market capitalizations, which may offer more growth opportunities relative to larger-capitalization stocks and whose performance may deviate from the broad market.

The Index Provider's "recommendation universe" includes all companies domiciled in the United States that are either active recommendations of a newsletter published by TMF or are among the 150 highest rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. With respect to universe continuity, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index is constructed utilizing a buffering methodology. The buffer is intended to reduce index turnover from movements in constituent weightings that could result in a company dropping out of the index only to be added back with the next rebalance. Specifically, stocks ranked in the top 105 positions based on TMF's analyst opinion database (70% of the 150-stock target) are automatically included in the candidate universe. Additionally, companies that were previously eligible based on their TMF analyst ratings will still be included as long as their rank is equal to or better than 195 (130% of the 150-stock target). Stocks are then added based on conviction score rank until the 150-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Once the eligible universe is determined, and consistent with the treatment for the Rising 100 Index, inclusion in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index is determined based on market capitalization and index continuity rules. The smallest 100 companies by market capitalization are identified within the universe. A buffer of 30% of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index membership target - or 30 stocks - is used to prevent frequent turnover around the Rising 100 Index. Specifically, companies that were previously included in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index will still be included as long as their reverse market capitalization rank is equal to or lower than 130 (130% of the 100-stock target). Stocks are then added to the Rising 100 Minimum Index based on reverse market capitalization rank until the 100-stock target is reached.

Companies that meet the requirements for universe inclusion must also meet the minimum requirements for liquidity. Each selected company's share of the Fool Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index (or "weighting") receives a portfolio weight on the weighting date determined by a risk minimization process. That is, weights are assigned using a modeling process that produces the index with the lowest forecast volatility. The Fool Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly.

The index methodology for the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index applies an enhanced calculation logic to reconstitutions and special month-end rebalances as needed to keep the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index constituent weights in conformity with tax code diversification requirements for registered investment companies. When applicable, position weights will be adjusted during a reconstitution or special rebalance to ensure that no individual position exceeds 24% of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index and the percentage of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index comprised of individual positions in excess of 4.8% does not cumulatively exceed 48%.The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index will typically include 90-100 companies at any one time and may contain companies of any size capitalization. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index is calculated and administered by VettaFi, LLC (the "Index Calculation Agent"), which is not affiliated with the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. The Index Provider also serves as the Adviser to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. Additional information regarding the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index, including its value, is available on the websites of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index at www.foolindices.com and the Index Calculation Agent, at www.vettafi.com.

*The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Investment Strategy* 

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, if it has sufficient assets, the correlation between the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's performance and that of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better.

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will generally use a "replication" strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index. However, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may use a "representative sampling" strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund (e.g., when replicating the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, a Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund but not to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index).

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund generally may invest up to 20% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) in securities or other investments not included in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index, but which the Adviser believes will help the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund track the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index. For example, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in securities that are not components of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index to reflect various corporate actions and other changes to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index (such as reconstitutions, additions and deletions).

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which means that the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund. To the extent the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index.

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may also seek to increase its income by lending securities.

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

**Principal Investment Risks** 

The value of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following are the principal risks that could affect the value of your investment.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** The Fund tracks the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index (the "Underlying Index"), which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Fund and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise the Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of the Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and the Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes the Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause the Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company (such as poorer-than-expected earnings or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, or a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services). A variety of factors including economic, political, financial, public health crises (such as epidemics or pandemics), threatened or actual imposition of tariffs, or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests more heavily in a particular issue, issuer or issuers, country, market segment, industries, project types, or asset class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or the Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The equity securities held in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stocks and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, it is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an authorized participant ("AP") may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are institutional investors and may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted. During periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index methodology. Moreover, the methodology and the calculation of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index reflects such errors, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Managed Volatility Risk.** Minimum volatility strategies apply risk--based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies.Additionally, minimum volatility strategies place more weight on stocks that are more stable, and therefore subject to the risk of underperformance during periods of rapid market expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Micro-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of micro-capitalization companies, which typically have market capitalizations below $250 million, present greater risks than those of small-capitalization companies. Micro-capitalization companies may be in the earliest stages of development, may have extremely limited operating histories, and may depend on niche or unproven products and services. Their securities often trade in very low volumes, which can result in limited liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater price volatility. Due to their size, these companies are more susceptible to adverse developments such as business setbacks, reduced access to capital markets, changes in market conditions, or unfavorable regulatory developments. Micro-capitalization companies typically provide less public information than larger companies, which can make it more difficult for investors to evaluate their prospects. The combination of these factors can make investments in micro-capitalization companies more speculative and more likely to result in losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund utilizes proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve its investment objective. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company with a limited operating history. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund will grow to, or maintain, an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Directors (the "Board") of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company") may determine to liquidate the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. Since the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser does not attempt to take defensive positions in any market conditions, including adverse markets. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and its Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index as addressed in the Index methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** In seeking to replicate the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index, which is adjusted and rebalanced quarterly, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may incur relatively high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in increased transaction costs and may lower Fund performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may lend portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker- dealers. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index. In addition, the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index.

**Performance Information:** Performance information for the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is not included because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus. Performance information will be available once the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund has at least one calendar year of performance. Updated performance information will be available on the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's website at fooletfs.com.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares** 

Shares are listed on the Exchange, and investors can only buy and sell Shares through brokers or dealers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). 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 in the secondary market (the "bid-ask spread"). Once available, information on the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads, will be provided at www.fooletfs.com.

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Creation Units generally consist of 10,000 Shares, though this may change from time to time. The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.

**Tax Information** 

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is made through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

**Financial Intermediary Compensation** 

If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's Adviser, or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

**Additional Investment Strategies – Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund** 

The Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, using an "indexing" investment approach, each seeks to track the investment results, before fees and expenses, of the Innovative Growth Index, Crowdsource Index, Value Index, Income Index, Momentum Index, Smart Volatility Index, Fool 100 Equal Weight Index, Next Equal Weight Index, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Index, Next Minimum Volatility Index, Rising 100 Index, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index (each, an "Index"), respectively. A number of factors may affect a Fund's ability to achieve a high correlation with its Index, including a Fund's expenses, differences between the securities held in a Fund's portfolio and those included in its respective Index, the timing or magnitude of changes to the composition of its Index, regulatory policies, and high portfolio turnover rate. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation with its Index.

The Adviser may sell securities that are represented in an Index or purchase securities not yet represented in an Index if the Adviser believes such securities are appropriate to substitute for certain securities in that Fund's Index. The Adviser may utilize various combinations of other available investment techniques in seeking to track an Index.

As a result of its investments, a Fund's distributions for any taxable year may exceed its earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For a given taxable year, fund distributions, if any, that exceed earnings and profits may be treated as a return of capital to shareholders.

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of each of the Innovative Growth Fund's, Crowdsource Fund's, Value Fund's, Income Fund's, Momentum Fund's, Smart Volatility Fund's, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund's, Next Equal Weight Fund's, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's, Next Minimum Volatility Fund's, Rising 100 Fund's, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund's total assets (exclusive of any collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of its respective Index. These policies are non-fundamental and can be changed by the Board upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders.

**Risk Information** 

The value of a Fund's investments may decrease, which will cause the value of the Fund's Shares to decrease. As a result, you may lose money on your investment in a Fund, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in a Fund is subject to one or more of the principal risks identified in the following table. The principal risks identified are discussed in more detail in the disclosure that immediately follows the table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Active Management Risk.** If the Adviser actively manages a Fund's investments, then consequently, a Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Adviser may not produce the desired results. This could cause a Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives. Additionally, legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser in connection with managing a Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment goal.

**●** **Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel Risk.** Each of the Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund tracks its respective Underlying Index, which is owned by the Index Provider, an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser and the Index Provider share common personnel: who are both portfolio managers of the Funds and also responsible for the design, maintenance, and periodic reconstitution of each Underlying Index. An Underlying Index's methodology relies on investment signals published in TMF newsletters and TMF analyst's opinion database ("Publications"). While the portfolio managers do not have influence over the content of these Publications, they are responsible for interpreting the Publications' signals to determine the specific list of securities (the "Index Constituents") that will comprise an Underlying Index. This process can involve subjective judgment.

Because the portfolio managers determine the Index Constituents, they are in possession of material non-public information regarding Underlying Index changes prior to the public release of an Underlying Index value. There is no "firewall" between the Index Provider and a Fund's trading desk.

This structure exposes a Fund to the risk that the portfolio managers could interpret the Publications signals to benefit the Fund's trading execution. For example, the portfolio managers might avoid including a less liquid security recommended by a newsletter because it would be difficult for the Fund to buy, or they might delay a rebalance to assist the Fund's tax management strategies. Such actions could cause an Underlying Index to deviate from the investment thesis of the Publications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Company and Market Risk.** The common stock of a company may not perform as well as expected, and may decrease in value, because of factors related to the company. Among these factors are adverse developments regarding the company's business or management decisions, changes in the industry in which the company is engaged, and a reduction in the demand for a company's products or services. In this regard, there is a risk that the judgments of the Adviser about the value and appreciation potential of particular securities will be incorrect. In addition, if a company becomes insolvent, owners of the company's common stock will have the lowest priority among owners of that company's different classes of securities as to the distribution of the company's assets.

General market and economic factors may adversely affect securities markets generally, which could adversely affect the value of a Fund's investments in common stocks. In addition, the rights of holders of common stock are subordinate to the rights of preferred shares and debt holders.

A Fund's NAV and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its investments. There is no assurance that a Fund will realize its investment objective, and an investment in a Fund is not, by itself, a complete or balanced investment program. You could lose money on your investment in a Fund, or a Fund could underperform other investments. <br>

Periods of unusually high financial market volatility and restrictive credit conditions, at times limited to a particular sector or geographic area, have occurred in the past and may be expected to recur in the future. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted or have signaled protectionist trade measures, relaxation of the financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/or reductions to corporate taxes. The scope of these policy changes is still developing, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, particularly if a resulting policy runs counter to the market's expectations. The outcome of such changes cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infections illness or other public health threats, may add to instability in the world economy and markets generally. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of a Fund's investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region, regardless of whether the Fund invests in issuers located in or with significant exposure to such country or region. <br>

The outbreak of COVID-19 and its variants resulted in closing international borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general public concern and uncertainty. This outbreak negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. On May 5, 2023, the World Health Organization declared the end of the global emergency status for COVID-19. The United States subsequently ended the federal COVID-19 public health emergency declaration effective May 11, 2023. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are widely available, it is unknown how long certain circumstances related to the pandemic will persist, whether they will reoccur in the future, and what additional implications may follow from the pandemic. The impact of these events and other epidemics or pandemics in the future could adversely affect a Fund's performance. <br>

Additionally, climate change poses long-term threats to physical and biological systems. Potential hazards and risks related to climate change for a State or municipality include, among other things, wildfires, rising sea levels, more severe coastal flooding and erosion hazards, and more intense storms. Storms in recent years have demonstrated vulnerabilities in a State's or municipality's infrastructure to extreme weather events. Climate change risks, if they materialize, can adversely impact a State's or municipality's financial plan in current or future years. In addition, economists and others have expressed increasing concern about the potential effects of global climate change on property and security values. A rise in sea levels, an increase in powerful windstorms and/or a climate-driven <br>

increase in sea levels or flooding could cause coastal properties to lose value or become unmarketable altogether. Economists warn that, unlike previous declines in the real estate market, properties in affected coastal zones may not ever recover their value. Large wildfires driven by high winds and prolonged drought may devastate businesses and entire communities and may be very costly to any business found to be responsible for the fire. Regulatory changes and divestment movements tied to concerns about climate change could adversely affect the value of certain land and the viability of industries whose activities or products are seen as accelerating climate change. A Fund cannot predict the effects of or likelihood of such events on the U.S. and world economies. A Fund could be materially impacted by such events which may, in turn, negatively affect the value and performance of a Fund.

Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of a Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. As the use of technology grows, liquidity and market movements may be affected. As artificial intelligence is used more widely, the profitability and growth of Fund holdings may be impacted, which could significantly impact the overall performance of a Fund. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Concentration Risk.** A Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund's investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fund's investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, project types, group of project types, sector, market segment or asset class. A Fund may be more adversely affected by the underperformance of those securities and/or other assets, may experience increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting those securities and/or other assets than a fund that does not concentrate its investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Currency Risk.** Currency risk results from changes in the rate of exchange between the currency of the country in which a foreign company is domiciled or keeps its books and the U.S. dollar. Whenever a Fund holds securities valued in a foreign currency or holds the currency itself in connection with its purchases and sales of foreign securities, changes in the exchange rate add to or subtract from the value of the investment in U.S. dollars. The International Opportunities Fund generally does not seek to hedge currency risk, and although the Adviser considers currency risks as part of its investment process, its judgments in this regard may not always be correct.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Cyber Security Risk.** With the increased use of technologies such as the internet to conduct business, each Fund is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through "hacking" or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber security failures or breaches by the Adviser and other service providers (including, but not limited to, the Funds' accountant, custodian, transfer agent and administrator), and the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with a Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, impediments to trading, the inability of a Fund's shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans in the event of, and risk management systems to prevent, such cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Furthermore, a Fund cannot control the cyber security plans and systems put in place by service providers to the Fund and issuers in which the Fund invests. A Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Depositary Receipts Risk.** A Fund may purchase depositary receipts, including ADRs, EDRs, GDRs, and NVDRs to facilitate its investments in foreign securities. By investing in ADRs rather than investing directly in the securities of foreign issuers, the Fund can avoid currency risks during the settlement period for purchase and sales.

However, ADRs do not eliminate all the risks inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. However, ADRs do not eliminate all the risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers. The information available for ADRs, EDRs, GDRs, and NVDRs is subject to the accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards of the market or exchange on which they are traded, and those standards may be more uniform and more exacting than those to which many foreign issuers may be subject. <br>

Depositary receipts may be issued in a sponsored program, in which an issuer has made arrangements to have its securities traded in the form of depositary receipts, or in an unsponsored program, in which the issuer may not be directly involved. The holders of depositary receipts that are unsponsored generally bear various costs associated with the facilities, while a larger portion of the costs associated with sponsored depositary receipts are typically borne by the foreign issuers. <br>

The depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited securities or to pass through the voting rights to facility holders with respect to the deposited securities. Available information concerning the issuers may not be as current for unsponsored depositary receipts and the prices of unsponsored depositary receipts may be more volatile than would be the case if the receipts were sponsored by the issuers. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Dividend-Paying Stock Risk.** While the Income Fund holds stocks of companies directly or through ETFs that have historically paid a high dividend yield, those companies may reduce or discontinue their dividends, reducing the yield of the Income Fund. Past dividend payments are not a guarantee of future dividend payments. Also, the market return of high dividend yield stocks, in certain market conditions, may perform worse than other investment strategies or the overall stock market. The Income Fund's emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend. Depending upon market conditions, dividend-paying stocks that meets the Income Fund's investment criteria may not be widely available and/or may be highly concentrated in only a few market sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Emerging Market Countries Risk.** Investing in emerging market countries involves risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. In many less developed markets, there is less governmental supervision and regulation of business and industry practices, stock exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than there is in more developed markets. The securities markets of certain countries in which the International Opportunities Fund may invest may also be smaller, less liquid, and subject to greater price volatility than those of more developed markets. In the event of a default on an investment in a foreign debt obligation, it may be more difficult for a Fund to obtain or to enforce a judgment against the issuer of that security. The International Opportunities Fund may also be subject to emerging markets risk to the extent that it invests in companies that are not domiciled in an emerging market but have customers, products, or transactions associated with emerging markets. The International Opportunities Fund seeks to invest no more than 20% of its net assets in emerging market countries.

In addition, emerging markets countries may have more or less government regulation and generally do not impose as extensive and frequent accounting, auditing, financial and other reporting requirements as the securities markets of more developed countries. As a result, there could be less information available about issuers in emerging and frontier market countries, which could negatively affect the Adviser's ability to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the International Opportunities Fund's performance. Further, investments in securities of issuers located in certain emerging countries involve the risk of loss resulting from problems in share registration, settlement or custody, substantial economic, political and social disruptions and the imposition of exchange controls (including repatriation restrictions). The legal remedies for investors in emerging and frontier markets may be more limited than the remedies available in the U.S., and the ability of U.S. authorities (e.g., SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice) to bring actions against bad actors may be limited. <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equal Weighting Risk.** Equal weighting is a method of weighting index stocks whereby the same exposure is provided to both the smallest and largest companies included in the index. Equal weight strategies do not apply risk- or conviction-based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies. Additionally, equal weight strategies place more weight on smaller capitalization stocks, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger capitalization stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Equity Markets Risk.** The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a Fund or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to "stock market risk" meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the types of securities in which a Fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a Fund's securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk that other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors including: expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic, and banking crises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **ETF Risk.** Each Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF's structure, each Fund is exposed to the following risks:

● *Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.* Only an AP may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. A Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. These events, among others, may lead to a Fund's Shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than the NAV when you buy Shares of a Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive less (or more) than NAV when you sell those Shares in the secondary market. A diminished market for an ETF's shares substantially increases the risk that a shareholder may pay considerably more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. In periods of market volatility, APs, market makers and/or liquidity providers may be less willing to transact in Fund Shares.

● *Secondary Market Trading Risk.* Although each Fund's Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in a Fund's Shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to Exchange "circuit breaker" rules, which temporarily halt trading on the Exchange. Additional rules applicable to the Exchange may halt trading in Shares when extraordinary volatility causes sudden, significant swings in the market price of Shares. There can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of a Fund's Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund's underlying holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than the Fund's Shares. In addition, during periods of market stress, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

● *Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV Risk.* As with all ETFs, Shares of each Fund may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate a Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. The market price of Shares during the trading day, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a "bid/ask" spread charged by the exchange specialist, market makers or other participants that trade Shares. In times of severe market disruption, the bid/ask spread can increase significantly. At those times, Shares are most likely to be traded at a discount to NAV, and the discount is likely to be greatest when the price of Shares is

falling fastest, which may be the time that you most want to sell your Shares. The Adviser believes that, under normal market conditions, large market price discounts or premiums to NAV will not be sustained because of arbitrage opportunities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Foreign Investments Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund invests in the securities of foreign companies. including companies located in both developed and emerging market countries. A significant portion of the International Opportunities Fund's investments in foreign companies may be made through the purchase of depositary receipts that represent indirect interests in the securities of foreign companies. Investing in securities of foreign companies involves risks generally not associated with investments in the securities of U.S. companies. These risks may relate to those associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, more or less foreign government regulation; less public information; less stringent investor protections; less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards; and less economic, political and social stability in the countries in which the International Opportunities Fund invests. Securities of foreign issuers generally trade and thus may be purchased and sold by the International Opportunities Fund in foreign markets. The principal risks generally associated with foreign investing include the following: Country risk arises from political, social, economic, and other conditions that are unique to a particular country or region. These conditions may relate to the existence of less publicly available information, inferior regulatory oversight (for example, less demanding accounting, auditing, corporate governance, investor relations, and financial reporting standards), the possibility of government-imposed restrictions, and even the nationalization of assets. The liquidity of foreign investments may be more limited than for comparable U.S. investments. Therefore, at times, it may be difficult to sell foreign securities at favorable prices. Foreign securities in which the International Opportunities Fund invests may be traded in markets that close before the time that the International Opportunities Fund calculates its NAV. Furthermore, certain foreign securities in which the International Opportunities Fund invests may be listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the International Opportunities Fund does not calculate its NAV. As a result, the value of the International Opportunities Fund's holdings may change on days when shareholders are not able to purchase or redeem the Fund's shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Growth Investing Risk.** The prices of growth stocks are based largely on projections of the issuer's future earnings and revenues. If a company's earnings or revenues fall short of expectations, its stock price may fall dramatically. Growth stocks may be volatile and may also be more expensive, relative to their earnings or assets, compared to value or other stocks. In addition, growth stocks as a group may fall out of favor and underperform the overall equity market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Index Rankings and Methodology Risk.** Factors used by TMF's analysts in their qualitative and quantitative analysis of companies included in an Index, and the weight placed on those factors, may not be predictive of a security's value and, thus, have an adverse effect on a Fund. In addition, changes in TMF's recommendations or rankings methodologies may have an adverse effect on a Fund. Factors that affect a security's value can change over time, and these changes may not be reflected in an Index's methodology. In addition, the following risks result from TMF's business operations:

● There are no assurances that TMF will continue to provide stock recommendations to the degree currently provided by it, or that it will continue to provide newsletter and/or other services at all. TMF may decrease the number of equity analysts that it employs, or the number of covered companies and/or industries.

● Analysts may leave TMF or cease providing recommendations, in which case any securities covered by that analyst may no longer be included in the universe of stocks covered by TMF. In such case, those securities may be removed from an Index during the next rebalance of the Index, despite the fact that expectations regarding such security's performance may be unchanged. Similarly, changes in analysts could result in changes to the composition of an Index and, thus, could result in increased portfolio turnover for a Fund.

● TMF's members who subscribe to its recommendation services and others who have access to that information will have advance knowledge of information that will be reflected in an Index. While TMF's recommendations can change on any given day, an Index will only be rebalanced quarterly.

In addition to the risks inherent in TMF's operations and the compilation of an Index, the methodology and the calculation of an Index could be subject to errors. If the composition of an Index reflects such errors, a Fund's portfolio can be expected to reflect the errors, too.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Investment Style Risk.** Quality growth style investing focuses on companies that appear attractively priced in light of factors such as the quality of management, sustainability of competitive advantage, or growth potential of cash flow. If the Adviser's assessment of a company's quality or intrinsic value or its prospects for exceeding earnings expectations or market conditions is inaccurate, a Fund could suffer losses or produce poor performance relative to other funds. In addition, the stocks of quality companies can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. As a consequence of its investing style a Fund may underperform the market and its peers over short timeframes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** Large capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, large capitalization companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. As a result, a Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Managed Volatility Risk.** Minimum volatility strategies apply risk-based weights to their holdings and as such may deviate materially from cap-weighted strategies.Additionally, minimum volatility strategies place more weight on stocks that are more stable, and therefore subject to the risk of underperformance during periods of rapid market expansion. Techniques used by the Adviser to manage the volatility of the Fund's investments carry the risks that such techniques may not protect against market declines. The techniques may also limit the Fund's participation in market gains, particularly during periods where market values are increasing but market volatility is high.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Micro-Capitalization Companies Risk.** The securities of micro-capitalization companies, which typically have market capitalizations below $250 million, present greater risks than those of small-capitalization companies. Micro-capitalization companies may be in the earliest stages of development, may have extremely limited operating histories, and may depend on niche or unproven products and services. Micro-capitalization companies are subject to substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, because their earnings and revenues tend to be less predictable. Their securities often trade in very low volumes, which can result in limited liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater price volatility. Due to their size, these companies are more susceptible to adverse developments such as business setbacks, reduced access to capital markets, changes in market conditions, or unfavorable regulatory developments. Micro-capitalization companies typically provide less public information than larger companies, which can make it more difficult for investors to evaluate their prospects. The combination of these factors can make investments in micro-capitalization companies more speculative and more likely to result in losses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Mid-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The value of securities of mid-cap companies may be more volatile than the value of securities of companies with larger capitalizations and also tend to be more adversely affected by issuer-specific events and political, market and economic developments than the securities of larger companies. Mid capitalization companies often have narrower commercial markets and more limited operating histories, product lines, and managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a Fund's portfolio. Additionally, mid-capitalization companies may have less market liquidity than larger capitalization companies, and they can be sensitive to changes in interest rates, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Model Risk.** Each of the Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Multi-Factor Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund utilize proprietary models based on quantitative analysis to achieve their investment objectives. However, there is no guarantee that the Adviser's use of these models will result in effective investment decisions. The performance of investments selected by these models may not align with predictions due to various factors, including the specific factors incorporated, their respective weightings, deviations from historical trends, or issues in the models' construction and implementation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Momentum Securities Risk.** Securities that previously exhibited greater momentum characteristics than other securities may not continue to experience positive momentum, and such a change could occur quickly. Momentum securities may experience more volatility than the market as a whole, and their returns may be less than the returns of other styles of investing or the overall stock market. The Momentum Fund may experience significant losses if momentum stops, reverses or otherwise behaves differently than predicted. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style of investing is out of favor, and the investment performance of the Momentum Fund may suffer during such period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **New Fund Risk.** Each Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified management investment company and has no operating history. There is a risk that the Fund will not grow or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund's market exposure for limited periods of time. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of market movement during the period affected. If the Fund fails to attract a large amount of assets, shareholders of the Fund may incur higher expenses as the Fund's fixed costs would be allocated over a smaller number of shareholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Non-Diversification Risk.** Each Fund is non-diversified, which means that they may invest a high percentage of their assets in a limited number of securities. Since each Fund is non-diversified, its NAV, market price and total returns may fluctuate or fall more than a diversified fund. Gains or losses on a single stock may have a greater impact on a Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Operational Risk.** Each Fund is exposed to operational risks arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of a Fund's service providers, counterparties, or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. Each Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures. However, these measures do not address every possible risk and may be inadequate to address significant operational risks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Passive Investment Risk.** Each of the Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund is not actively managed and the Adviser will not sell shares of an equity security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry, or sector, unless that security is removed from a Fund's Index or the selling of shares of that security is otherwise required upon a reconstitution of a Fund's Index as addressed in a Fund's Index methodology. Each Fund invests in securities included in, or representative of securities included in, its Index, regardless of investment merit. The Funds do not take defensive positions under any market conditions, including conditions that are adverse to the performance of the Funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** A Fund may trade all or a significant portion of the securities in its portfolio in connection with each rebalance and reconstitution of its Index, or due to its actively-managed trading strategy. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase a Fund's expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in a Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Securities Lending Risk.** Each Fund may seek to increase its income by lending portfolio securities to institutions, such as certain broker-dealers. Portfolio securities loans are secured continuously by collateral maintained on a current basis at an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the securities loaned by a Fund will not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. A Fund may experience a loss or delay in the recovery of its securities if the borrowing institution breaches its agreement with the Fund. Lending a Fund's portfolio securities involves the risk of delay in receiving additional collateral if the value of the securities goes up while they are on loan. A Fund may lose money from securities lending if, for example, it is delayed in or prevented from selling the collateral or from recovering the securities loaned or if it incurs losses on the reinvestment of cash collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Small-Capitalization Investing Risk**. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of larger-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than larger capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. Some small capitalization companies have limited product lines, markets, and financial and managerial resources and tend

to concentrate on fewer geographical markets relative to larger capitalization companies. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies. Small-capitalization companies also may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, government regulation, borrowing costs and earnings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Tracking Error Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of each of the Innovative Growth Fund, Crowdsource Fund, Value Fund, Income Fund, Momentum Fund, Smart Volatility Fund, Fool 100 Equal Weight Fund, Next Equal Weight Fund, Fool 100 Minimum Volatility Fund, Next Minimum Volatility Fund, Rising 100 Fund, and Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund and its respective Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by its respective Index. In addition, a Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;● **Value Securities Risk.** The Value Fund may invest in value securities. Securities issued by companies that may be perceived as undervalued may fail to appreciate for long periods of time and may never realize their full potential value. The Adviser may be unsuccessful in identifying undervalued securities. Value securities have generally performed better than non-value securities during periods of economic recovery (although there is no assurance that they will continue to do so). Value securities may go in and out of favor over time. The Adviser cannot guarantee that it will be able to identify and select investments that will result in the Value Fund meeting its investment objective.

**Additional Information About Non-Principal Risks of the Funds.** This section provides additional information regarding certain non-principal risks of investing in the Funds. The risk listed below could have a negative impact on a Fund's performance and trading prices.

● **Activities of Affiliates of the Adviser Risk.** Companies affiliated with the Adviser, including TMF, publish information, opinions, and recommendations regarding the purchase and sale of securities, possibly including securities that are held by or being considered for purchase or sale by the Funds. These opinions and recommendations may be consistent with, or opposed to, the views of the Adviser and may adversely affect the prices of securities held by the Funds or the prices at which the Funds can purchase or sell a security. The Funds, the Adviser, and the Adviser's publishing affiliates have adopted procedures designed to prevent personnel of the publishing affiliates from obtaining or using nonpublic information about each Fund's holdings or the Adviser's strategy or actual or potential portfolios. These procedures are also designed to prevent the Adviser and its personnel from using pre-publication information obtained from the publishing affiliates and to assure that investment decisions for the Funds are consistent with what the Adviser believes to be in the Funds' best interest. Additionally, the members of the Adviser's Investment Committee provide advisory services on behalf of another affiliate, Motley Fool Wealth Management, LLC ("MFWM"), particularly for MFWM's separately managed accounts. The advice given on behalf of MFWM, consistently with the mandates of its various strategies, may also be consistent with or opposed to the views of the Adviser in relation to the Funds and may adversely affect the prices of securities held by the Funds or the prices at which they can purchase or sell a security. MFWM and the Adviser have adopted procedures to assure that neither MFWM nor the Adviser (or their respective clients) can benefit from any informational or trading advantage over the other. A description of the Funds' policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of information regarding their portfolio securities and the procedures designed to minimize conflicts between the Funds, the Adviser, MFWM, and the Adviser's publishing affiliates is contained in the statement of additional information ("SAI").

● **Closed-End Funds Risk.** A Fund may invest in publicly traded shares of closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and business development companies to indirectly access particular types of investments (such as private equity investments), markets, or industry sectors in which it would otherwise be difficult or costly for the Fund to invest. Shares of these companies may trade at a discount from or premium to their net asset values per share, which change from time to time and may be significant. Closed-end investment companies and business development companies incur various expenses, including investment advisory fees (which, in the case of a business development company, may be performance-based compensation). The Fund will bear these expenses when it invests in such companies, which are in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund.

● **Convertible Securities Risk.** A Fund may purchase convertible debt obligations and convertible preferred stock. The holders of these securities are entitled to exchange the securities for common stock (or other equity securities) of a company, typically at a fixed price within a specified period of time. Until conversion, the holder is entitled to interest (in the case of convertible debt) or dividends (in the case of preferred stock). These instruments have risks that are similar to debt securities because of their interest or dividend features and have risks that are similar to equity securities because of their conversion features.

● **Costs of Buying or Selling Shares Risk.** Investors buying or selling Shares of each Fund in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers, as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of a Fund's Shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price at which an investor is willing to buy Shares (the "bid" price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell Shares (the "ask" price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the "spread" or "bid/ask spread." The bid/ask spread varies over time for Shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if Shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if Shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, a relatively small investor base in a Fund, asset swings in a Fund and/or increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

● **Debt Securities Risk.** A Fund may invest in non-convertible debt securities on a temporary basis to earn income pending investment of its assets in common stocks and equity-related securities or to seek capital appreciation when the Adviser believes an issuer's debt securities are undervalued based on its fundamental analysis. These securities include bonds and other debt obligations, including obligations issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, the U.S. government or foreign governments or their agencies, and municipal governments. The securities may pay fixed, variable, or floating rates of interest and may include zero-coupon obligations. The Fund may invest in both investment grade debt securities and non-investment grade debt securities (known as high-yield bonds or junk bonds). Investment grade debt securities are those securities rated BBB or better by S&P Global Ratings or Baa or better by Moody's Investors Service, or that are unrated and have been determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality to these rated securities. Except during periods of adverse market or economic conditions, when the Fund may assume a defensive investment position, the Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in non-convertible debt securities.

All debt securities are subject to certain risks. One risk is that the issuer may not be able to meet its principal or its interest-payment obligations. Another risk is that the value of debt securities generally declines as interest rates rise. The value of debt securities may also decline as a result of a change in market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and a change in general market liquidity. Any decline in the value of debt securities as a result of changes in credit quality or future interest rates will generally be greater for securities having longer maturities. Non-investment grade securities, especially high-yield bonds, which are speculative investments, are more sensitive to these risks, particularly credit risk. In addition, the markets for non-investment grade securities may be thinner and less active than are the markets for investment grade securities. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities and do not invest in debt securities that are in default as to payment of interest or principal. <br>

● **ETF Investing Risk.** A Fund may purchase shares of ETFs that are registered as investment companies under the 1940 Act and shares of similar investment vehicles that are not registered under the 1940 Act (together with the ETFs, "Traded Funds") to gain exposure to the general market, individual countries or regions, or industry sectors. The Fund may use these instruments to allocate their assets to markets or industry sectors the Adviser deems attractive while it pursues investment in the securities of companies in those markets or sectors.

The Traded Funds in which the Fund invests hold portfolios of investments may seek to track the performance of a particular index (or group of securities having specified characteristics) or of a "basket" of stocks from within a particular industry sector or group. Their shares are traded on securities exchanges. Traded Funds involve risks generally associated with investments in securities, including the risk that the general level of prices, or that the prices of securities within a particular sector, may increase or decline and thereby affect the value of the shares <br>

of the Traded Funds. To the extent that Traded Funds incur various expenses, including investment advisory fees, the Fund, when investing in Traded Funds, will bear duplicative fees and expenses, which shareholders of the Fund will bear indirectly. The Fund does not invest in actively managed Traded Funds.

The market for an ETF's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the ETF's underlying portfolio holdings, which could lead to differences between the market price of the ETF's shares and the underlying value of those shares. An ETF's market price may deviate from the value of the ETF's underlying portfolio holdings, particularly in times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or receive significantly less than the underlying value of the ETF shares bought or sold. An active trading market for shares of the ETF may not develop or be maintained. In times of market stress, market makers or authorized participants may step away from their respective roles in making a market in shares of the ETF and in executing purchase or redemption orders, which could also lead to variances between the market price of the ETF's shares and the underlying value of those shares. <br>

● **Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Risk.** The International Opportunities Fund may (but is not required to) enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates pending their purchase and sale of foreign securities. These contracts represent obligations to purchase or to sell a specified amount of currency at a future date and at a specified price agreed to by the parties at the time they enter into the contracts and allow the Fund to "lock in" the U.S. dollar prices of securities. However, there may be an imperfect correlation between the securities being purchased or sold and the forward contracts entered into, and there is a risk that a counterparty will be unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligation under a forward contract.

● **Illiquid Investments Risk.** The Funds invest primarily in publicly traded securities and do not generally purchase securities that have legal or contractual restrictions on resale or that are illiquid. However, total return swaps entered into by a Fund may be illiquid. In addition, liquid securities purchased by the Fund may become illiquid because of issuer-specific events or changes in market conditions. Illiquid investments are subject to the risk that the Funds will not be able to sell the investments when desired or at favorable prices. The Fund will not purchase an illiquid investment if, as a result, more than 15% of the value of the Fund's net assets would be so invested.

● **Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) Risk.** While a Fund has no limit on the amount of its assets that can be invested in IPOs, seeking investments in IPOs is not part of the Fund's principal investment strategy. By definition, securities issued in IPOs have not traded publicly until the time of their offerings. Special risks associated with IPOs may include, among others, the fact that there may be only a limited number of shares available for trading. The market for those securities may be unseasoned. The issuer may have a limited operating history. These factors may contribute to price volatility. The limited number of shares available for trading in some IPOs may also make it more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. In addition, some companies initially offering their shares publicly are involved in relatively new industries or lines of business, which may not be widely understood by investors. Some of the companies involved in new industries may be regarded as developmental stage companies, without revenues or operating income, or the near-term prospects of them. Many IPOs are by small- or micro-cap companies that are undercapitalized.

● **Legal and Regulatory Change Risk.** The regulatory environment for investment companies is evolving, and changes in regulation may adversely affect the value of a Fund's investments and its ability to pursue its trading strategy. In addition, the securities markets are subject to comprehensive statutes and regulations. The SEC and other regulators and self-regulatory organizations and exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of market emergencies. The effect of any future regulatory change on a Fund could be substantial and adverse.

● **Preferred Stock Risk.** A Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Like common stock, preferred stock represents equity ownership interests in a company and participates in a company's earnings. However, unlike common stocks, preferred stocks are entitled to stated dividends. These dividends are sometimes "cumulative," which means that if previous stated dividends have not been paid, the dividends payable on the preferred stock will have a priority over distributions to holders of common stock and a preference on the distribution of a

company's assets in the event of the company's dissolution. Preferred stock may also be "participating," which means that its holders are entitled to dividends in excess of stated dividends in certain cases. A Fund does not require a minimum credit rating for its preferred stock. The Adviser considers a company's liquidity and credit condition as well as the position of the security in the company's capital structure in assessing preferred stock it considers for the Fund. The risks of preferred stock are similar to the risks associated with common stock.

● **Real Estate Investment Trusts Risk.** Each Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). REITs are pooled investment vehicles that manage a portfolio of real estate or real estate-related loans to earn profits for their shareholders. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs, or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, such as shopping centers, nursing homes, office buildings, apartment complexes, and hotels, and derive income primarily from the collection of rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments. REITs can be subject to extreme volatility because of fluctuations in the demand for real estate, changes in interest rates, and adverse economic conditions. Similar to regulated investment companies, REITs generally are not subject to federal income tax on income distributed to shareholders, provided they comply with certain requirements. The failure of a REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT for tax purposes can materially affect its value. A fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of any expenses paid by a REIT in which it invests. REITs often do not provide complete tax information until after the end of the calendar year. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for a fund investing in REITs to request permission to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV beyond January 31. In the alternative, amended Forms 1099-DIV may be sent.

● **RIC Compliance Risk.** Each Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a RIC under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code. To continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a RIC, each Fund must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. If for any taxable year a Fund fails to qualify for the special federal income tax treatment afforded to RICs, all of that Fund's taxable income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates (without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders) and its income available for distribution will be reduced. Under certain circumstances, a Fund could cure a failure to qualify as a RIC, but in order to do so, the Fund could incur significant Fund-level taxes and could be forced to dispose of certain assets.

● **Short-Term Investments Risk.** During periods of adverse market or economic conditions, the Income Fund, International Opportunities Fund, and Large Cap Growth Fund may temporarily invest all or a substantial portion of their assets in high quality, fixed-income securities, money market instruments, and shares of money market mutual funds, or it may hold cash. At such times, to preserve capital, the Funds would not be pursuing their stated investment objective with its usual investment strategies. The Funds may also hold these investments for liquidity purposes.

● **Total Return Swaps and Participatory Notes Risk.** A Fund may enter into total return swaps and participatory notes to gain exposure to foreign securities markets or foreign securities that might otherwise be difficult or costly to access or purchase because of foreign regulatory restrictions or foreign tax laws. A total return swap is an individually negotiated agreement through which the Fund can, in exchange for a specified fixed or floating payment, derive an investment return that is based on the investment performance of a specified index or basket of securities or that is based on changes in the price of a specific foreign security. A participatory note is a financial instrument used by foreign investors to invest in a particular country's securities. Securities brokerages in the country buy the securities, then issue to foreign investors participatory notes that derive their value from the underlying securities. Any dividends or capital gains collected from the underlying securities are passed through to the foreign investors. Use of these instruments involves various risks. These include the risks that the Fund may not be able to terminate or offset their positions at the time they wish to do so or at a favorable price and that, as a result of the failure of a counterparty or legal or operational issues, the Fund may not receive payments required to be made to them under the terms of a swap or participatory note. Total return swaps also may involve leverage and the related risk of loss. When the Fund enters into a total return swap transaction, a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, or liquid securities equal to the value of the

swap transaction is established and maintained. The Fund will not enter into a total return swap or participatory note if, as a result, the value of its positions in illiquid investments would exceed 15% of the value of the Fund's net assets, respectively.

● **Warrants and Rights Risk.** Rights are similar to warrants but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Warrants and rights are not dividend-paying investments and do not have the voting rights of common stock. They also do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. As a result, warrants and rights may be considered more speculative than direct equity investments. In addition, the values of warrants and rights do not necessarily change with the values of the underlying securities, and these instruments may cease to have value if not exercised before their expiration dates. The use of warrants and rights can increase the volatility of the Funds' portfolio. If a Fund invests in these instruments at unfortunate times or judges market conditions incorrectly, it may incur substantial losses. Changes in the liquidity of the secondary markets in which these instruments trade can result in significant, rapid, and unpredictable changes in their prices, and these conditions could also cause losses to the Funds.

● **When-Issued, Delayed-Delivery, and Forward-Commitment Transactions Risk.** A Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell securities on a "delayed-delivery" or "forward-commitment" basis to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates or securities prices. These transactions involve a commitment by the Fund to purchase or sell securities at a future date (ordinarily one or two months later). The price of the underlying securities, which is generally expressed in terms of yield, is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities takes place at a later date. No income accrues on securities that have been purchased pursuant to a when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward-commitment basis before delivery to the Fund. When-issued, delayed-delivery, and forward-commitment securities may be sold before the settlement date. If the Fund dispose of the right to acquire a when-issued security before their acquisition or dispose of their right to deliver or receive against a delayed delivery or forward commitment, they may incur a gain or loss. When the Fund enter into such a transaction, a segregated account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, or liquid securities equal to the value of the when-issued, delayed-delivery, or forward-commitment transaction is established and maintained. Purchasing securities on a forward-commitment, when-issued, or delayed-delivery basis when the Fund is fully or almost fully invested may result in greater potential fluctuation in the value of the Fund's net assets. There is a risk that securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may not be delivered and that the purchaser of securities sold by the Fund on a forward basis will not honor its purchase obligation. In these cases, the Fund may incur a loss.

**Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings** 

Each Fund's entire portfolio holdings are publicly disseminated each day the Fund is open for business through the Funds' website located at www.fooletfs.com and may be made available through financial reporting and news services or any other medium, including publicly available internet web sites. Additional information regarding the Funds' policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds' portfolio securities is available in the Funds' SAI.

**Management of the Funds** 

The Board of The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Company"), of which each Fund is a series, is responsible for supervising the operations and affairs of the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the daily management and administration of each Fund's operations.

**Investment Adviser** 

The Adviser is a wholly owned subsidiary of Motley Fool Investment Management, LLC, a subsidiary of The Motley Fool Holdings Inc. ("TMF Holdings"), a multimedia financial-services holding company that also owns The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF"), which publishes investment information and analysis across a wide range of media, including investment-newsletter services, websites, and books. TMF Holdings is controlled by David Gardner and Tom Gardner. The Adviser is located at 2000 Duke Street, Suite 300, Alexandria, Virginia 22314.

The Adviser is a separate legal entity and all discretionary asset management services for the Funds are made independently by portfolio managers at the Adviser. Neither Messrs. David Gardner or Tom Gardner, nor any TMF analyst is involved in the investment decision-making or daily operations of the Adviser. With respect to its actively-managed Funds, the Adviser does not attempt to track any TMF services and, as such, actively-managed Funds may diverge completely from TMF's services.

Subject to the overall supervision of the Board, the Adviser manages the overall investment operations of the Funds in accordance with each Fund's investment objective and policies and formulates a continuing investment strategy for each Fund pursuant to the terms of investment advisory agreements between the Company and the Adviser (each, an "Advisory Agreement" and together, the "Advisory Agreements"). Under the terms of its Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee that is computed and paid monthly. From the unitary management fees, the Adviser pays most of the expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. However, under each Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is not responsible for interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, fees and expenses of the independent directors and their independent legal counsel, taxes and other extraordinary costs such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business.

The Adviser receives an advisory fee from each Fund at an annual rate of each Fund's average daily net assets as indicated in the following table.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Contractual Advisory Fee** |
| Innovative Growth Fund | 0.50% |

The SAI provides additional information about the compensation of each Portfolio Manager, other accounts managed by them, and their ownership of Shares of the Funds.

**How to Buy and Sell Shares** 

Each Fund issues and redeems its Shares at NAV only in Creation Units. Only APs may acquire Shares directly from a Fund, and only APs may tender their Shares for redemption directly to a Fund, at NAV. APs must be (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, a clearing agency that is registered with the SEC; or (ii) a DTC participant (as discussed below). In addition, each AP must execute a Participant Agreement that has been agreed to by the Distributor, and that has been accepted by the Transfer Agent, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units. Once created, Shares trade in the secondary market in quantities less than a Creation Unit.

Investors can only buy and sell Shares in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on the secondary market on an Exchange and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded securities.

When buying or selling a Fund's Shares through a broker, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offer price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction. In addition, because secondary market transactions occur at market prices, you may pay more than NAV when you buy Shares, and receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares.

**Book Entry** 

Shares are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares.

Investors owning a Fund's Shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for all Shares. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. As a beneficial owner of Shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have Shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a registered owner of Shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of Shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other securities that you hold in book entry or "street name" through your brokerage account.

**Share Trading Prices on the Exchange** 

Trading prices of a Fund's Shares on the Exchange may differ from the Fund's daily NAV. Market forces of supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors may affect the trading prices of Shares. To provide additional information regarding the indicative value of Shares, the Exchange or a market data vendor disseminates information every 15 seconds through the facilities of the Consolidated Tape Association, or other widely disseminated means, an updated "intraday indicative value" ("IIV") for Shares as calculated by an information provider or market data vendor. The Funds are neither involved in nor responsible for any aspect of the calculation or dissemination of the IIVs and make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the IIVs. If the calculation of the IIV is based on the basket of Deposit Securities, such IIV may not represent the best possible valuation of a Fund's portfolio because the basket of Deposit Securities does not necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current Fund portfolios at a particular point in time. The IIV should not be viewed as a "real-time" update of a Fund's NAV because the IIV may not be calculated in the same manner as the NAV, which is computed only once a day, typically at the end of the business day. The IIV is generally determined by using both current market quotations and/or price quotations obtained from broker-dealers that may trade in the Deposit Securities.

**Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares** 

The Funds impose no restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions of Shares. In determining not to approve a written, established policy, the Board evaluated the risks of market timing activities by Fund shareholders. Purchases and redemptions by APs, who are the only parties that may purchase or redeem Shares directly with the Funds, are an essential part of the ETF process and help keep share trading prices in line with NAV. As such, the Funds accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions by APs. However, the Board has also determined that frequent purchases and redemptions for cash may increase tracking error and portfolio transaction costs and may lead to the realization of capital gains or loses. To minimize these potential consequences of frequent purchases and redemptions, the Funds employ fair value pricing and impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. In addition, the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase order at any time.

**Determination of Net Asset Value** 

Each Fund's NAV is calculated as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The NAV for a Fund is calculated by dividing the Fund's net assets by its Shares outstanding.

In calculating its NAV, a Fund generally values its assets on the basis of market quotations, last sale prices, or estimates of value furnished by a pricing service or brokers who make markets in such instruments. If such information is not available for a security held by the Fund or is determined to be unreliable, the security will be valued at fair value estimates under guidelines established by the Board.

**Fair Value Pricing** 

If market quotations are unavailable or deemed unreliable by the Funds' administrator, in consultation with the Adviser, securities will be fair valued by the Adviser, as the Funds' valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee"), in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board and under the Board's ultimate supervision. Relying on prices supplied by pricing services or dealers or using fair valuation involves the risk that the values used by a Fund to price its investments may be higher or lower than the values used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate each Fund's NAV and the prices used by the respective Index. For example, this may result in a difference between the Innovative Growth Fund's performance and the performance of the Innovative Growth Index. The Board has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by each Fund and its Valuation Designee in calculating the Fund's NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has designated the Adviser as its "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.

**Dividends, Distributions, and Taxes** 

**Dividends and Distributions** 

Each Fund, other than the Income Fund, intends to pay out dividends, if any, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually. The Income Fund intends to pay out dividends, if any, at least monthly, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually.

**Dividend Reinvestment Service** 

Brokers may make the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service available to their customers who own Shares. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and capital gains will automatically be reinvested in additional whole Shares of a Fund purchased on the secondary market. Without this service, investors would receive their distributions in cash. In order to achieve the maximum total return on their investments, investors

are encouraged to use the dividend reinvestment service. To determine whether the dividend reinvestment service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using this service, consult your broker. Brokers may require a Fund's shareholders to adhere to specific procedures and timetables.

**Taxes** 

Each Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a RIC under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code.

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in shares of a Fund will be taxed. The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information about certain U.S. tax considerations relevant under current law, which may be subject to change in the future. Such tax information does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances, including if you are subject to special tax treatment. Except where otherwise indicated, the discussion relates to investors who are "United States persons" (within the meaning of the Code) holding Shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, for investment). You should consult your own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment in Shares of a Fund.

Unless your investment in Shares of a Fund is made through a tax-exempt entity or tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA plan, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when: (i) a Fund makes distributions; (ii) you sell your shares listed on the Exchange; and (iii) you purchase or redeem Creation Units.

**Taxes on Distributions** 

Each Fund intends to distribute, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains income. For federal income tax purposes, distributions of investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividend income (as discussed below). Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long a Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her Shares of a Fund. Sales of assets held by a Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by a Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses. Distributions of a Fund's net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that are reported by such Fund as capital gain dividends ("Capital Gain Dividends") will be taxable as long-term capital gains, which for non-corporate shareholders are subject to tax at reduced rates. Distributions of short-term capital gain will generally be taxable as ordinary income. Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional Shares of a Fund.

Distributions reported by a Fund as "qualified dividend income" are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met by both such Fund and the shareholder. "Qualified dividend income" generally is income derived from dividends paid by U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. In addition, dividends that a Fund receives in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations may be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. The amount of a Fund's distributions that qualify for this favorable treatment may be reduced as a result of such Fund's securities lending activities, if any. Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction for the portion of dividends they receive from a Fund that are attributable to dividends received by such Fund from U.S. corporations, provided holding period and other requirements are met by both such Fund and the shareholder. The amount of the dividends qualifying for this deduction may, however, be reduced as a result of a Fund's securities lending activities, if any.

If a Fund were to retain any net capital gain, such Fund may designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice to shareholders who, if subject to U.S. federal income tax on long-term capital gains, (i) will be required to include in income as long-term capital gain, their proportionate share of such undistributed amount, and (ii) will be entitled to credit their proportionate share of the U.S. federal income tax paid by such Fund on the undistributed amount against their U.S. federal income tax liabilities, if any, and to claim refunds to the extent the credit exceeds such liabilities. If such an event occurs, the tax basis of Shares owned by a shareholder of a Fund will, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, generally be increased by the difference between the amount of undistributed net capital gain included in the shareholder's gross income and the tax deemed paid by the shareholder.

Each Fund may make distributions that are treated as a return of capital. Such distributions are generally not taxable but will reduce the basis of your Shares. To the extent that the amount of any such distribution exceeds the basis of your Shares, however, the excess will be treated as gain from a sale of the Shares.

Shortly after the close of each calendar year, you will be informed of the character of any distributions received from a Fund.

U.S. individuals with income exceeding specified thresholds are subject to a 3.8% Medicare contribution tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which includes interest, dividends, and certain capital gains (including capital gains distributions and capital gains realized on the sale of Shares of a Fund). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts.

In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax for the year in which they are paid. Certain distributions paid in January, however, may be treated as paid on December 31 of the prior year. Distributions are generally taxable even if they are paid from income or gains earned by a Fund before your investment (and thus were included in the Shares' NAV when you purchased your Shares of a Fund). Distributions paid from any interest income and from any short-term or long-term capital gains will be taxable whether you reinvest those distributions or receive them in cash. Distributions paid from a Fund's net long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held your Shares.

You may wish to avoid investing in a Fund shortly before a dividend or other distribution, because such a distribution will generally be taxable to you even though it may economically represent a return of a portion of your investment. This adverse tax result is known as "buying into a dividend."

**Taxes When Shares are Sold** 

For federal income tax purposes, any gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares of a Fund generally is treated as a capital gain and as a long-term capital gain or loss if those Shares have been held for more than 12 months and as a short-term capital gain or loss if those Shares have been held for 12 months or less. However, any capital loss on a sale of Shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of Capital Gain Dividends paid or undistributed capital gains deemed paid with respect to such Shares of a Fund. Any loss realized on a sale will be disallowed to the extent Shares of a Fund are acquired (or the shareholder enters into a contract or option to acquire Shares of a Fund), including through reinvestment of dividends, within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the sale of Shares. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an increase to the basis of the Shares acquired.

**IRAs and Other Tax-Qualified Plans** 

The one major exception to the preceding tax principles is that distributions on and sales of Shares of a Fund held in an IRA (or other tax-qualified plan) will not be currently taxable unless it borrowed to acquire the Shares.

**U.S. Tax Treatment of Foreign Shareholders** 

If you are neither a resident nor a citizen of the United States or if you are a foreign entity, distributions (other than Capital Gain Dividends or returns of capital) paid to you by a Fund will generally be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless a lower treaty rate applies. Each Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an "interest-related dividend" or a "short-term capital gain dividend," which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. For these purposes, interest-related dividends and short-term capital gain dividends generally represent distributions of interest or short-term capital gains that would not have been subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at the source if received directly by a foreign shareholder, and that satisfy certain other requirements.

Properly reported distributions by a Fund that are received by foreign shareholders are generally exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax when they (a) are paid by a Fund in respect of such Fund's "qualified net interest income" (i.e., such Fund's U.S. source interest income, subject to certain exceptions, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income), or (b) are paid by a Fund in connection with such Fund's "qualified short-term gains" (generally, the excess of such Fund's net short-term capital gains over such Fund's long-term capital losses for such tax year). However, depending on the circumstances, a Fund may report all, some or none of such Fund's potentially eligible

distributions as derived from such qualified net interest income or from such qualified short-term gains, and a portion of such distributions (e.g., distributions attributable to interest from non-U.S. sources or any foreign currency gains) would be ineligible for this potential exemption from withholding.

If a Fund were to retain any net capital gain and designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice to shareholders, foreign shareholders would be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return in order to claim refunds of their portion of the tax paid by such Fund on deemed capital gain distributions.

Foreign shareholders will generally not be subject to U.S. tax on gains realized on the sale of Shares in a Fund, except that a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in a calendar year will be taxable on such gains and on Capital Gain Dividends from a Fund.

However, if a foreign investor conducts a trade or business in the United States and the investment in a Fund is effectively connected with that trade or business, then the foreign investor's income from such Fund will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at graduated rates in a manner similar to the income of a U.S. citizen or resident.

Each Fund is generally required to withhold 30% on certain payments to shareholders that are foreign entities and that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements.

The tax consequences to a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may differ from those described herein. All foreign investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences in their country of residence of an investment in a Fund.

**Backup Withholding** 

Each Fund (or a financial intermediary, such as a broker, through which a shareholder owns Shares of a Fund) generally is required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of the taxable distributions and sale or redemption proceeds paid to any shareholder who fails to properly furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, who has underreported dividend or interest income, or who fails to certify that he, she or it is not subject to such backup withholding. A foreign investor can generally avoid such backup withholding by certifying his or her foreign status under penalties of perjury. The current backup withholding rate is 24%.

**Taxes on Purchases and Redemptions of Creation Units** 

An AP who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally recognizes a gain or a loss. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the sum of the AP's aggregate basis in the securities surrendered plus the amount of cash paid for such Creation Units. The Internal Revenue Service, however, may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units cannot be deducted currently under the rules governing "wash sales," or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Any gain or loss realized by an AP upon a creation of Creation Units will be treated as capital gain or loss if the AP holds the securities exchanged therefor as capital assets, and otherwise will be ordinary income or loss. Any capital gain or loss realized upon the creation of Creation Units will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the securities exchanged for such Creation Units have been held by the AP for more than 12 months, and otherwise will be short-term capital gain or loss.

The Company on behalf of each Fund has the right to reject an order for a purchase of Creation Units if the AP (or a group of APs) would, upon obtaining the Creation Units so ordered, own 80% or more of the outstanding Shares of a Fund and if, pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, such Fund would have a basis in the securities different from the market value of such securities on the date of deposit. The Company also has the right to require information necessary to determine beneficial share ownership for purposes of the 80% determination. If a Fund does issue Creation Units to an AP (or group of APs) that would, upon obtaining the Creation Units so ordered, own 80% or more of the outstanding Shares of such Fund, the AP (or group of APs) may not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of securities for Creation Units.

An AP who redeems Creation Units will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the sum of the aggregate market value of any securities received plus the amount of any cash received for such Creation Units and the AP's basis in the Creation Units. Any gain or loss realized by an AP upon a redemption of Creation Units will be treated as capital gain or loss if the AP holds the Shares comprising the Creation Units as capital assets, and

otherwise will be ordinary income or loss. Any capital gain or loss realized upon the redemption of Creation Units will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares comprising the Creation Units have been held by the AP for more than 12 months, and otherwise will generally be short-term capital gain or loss. Any capital loss realized upon a redemption of Creation Units held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions to the applicable AP of long-term capital gains with respect to the Creation Units (including any amounts credited to the AP as undistributed capital gains). However, any loss realized upon a redemption of Creation Units will be disallowed to the extent Shares of a Fund are acquired (or the AP enters into a contract or option to acquire Shares of a Fund), including through reinvestment of dividends, within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the redemption. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an increase to the basis of the Shares acquired.

Each Fund may include a payment of cash in addition to, or in place of, the delivery of a basket of securities upon the redemption of Creation Units. A Fund may sell portfolio securities to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind, which would generally not give rise to a taxable gain or loss for a Fund. As a result, a Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment in the proceeds paid upon the redemption of Creation Units.

Persons purchasing or redeeming Creation Units should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the tax treatment of any creation or redemption transaction.

*The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current federal tax law of an investment in a Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. You also may be subject to state and local tax on a Fund's distributions and sales of Shares of a Fund. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in Shares of a Fund under all applicable tax laws. For more information, please see the section entitled "DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES" in the SAI.* 

**Distribution** 

The Distributor, Quasar Distributors, LLC, is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC. The Distributor distributes Creation Units for the Funds on an agency basis and does not maintain a secondary market in Shares. The Distributor has no role in determining the policies of the Funds or the securities that are purchased or sold by the Funds. The Distributor's principal address is 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, Maine 04101.

**Additional Considerations** 

**Payments to Financial Intermediaries** 

The Adviser, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders, may pay intermediaries, including affiliates of the Adviser, for the sale of Fund Shares and related services, including participation in activities that are designed to make intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products. Payments are generally made to intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing and related sales support, educational training or support, or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the intermediary. Payments may also be made to intermediaries for making Shares of a Fund available to their customers generally and in investment programs. The Adviser may also reimburse expenses or make payments from its own resources to intermediaries in consideration of services or other activities the Adviser believes may facilitate investment in the Funds.

The possibility of receiving, or the receipt of, the payments described above may provide intermediaries or their salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of Shares of the Funds, and other funds whose affiliates make similar compensation available, over other investments that do not make such payments. Investors may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to the Funds and other ETFs.

**Premium/Discount Information** 

Information regarding how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a price above (i.e., at a premium) or below (i.e., at a discount) the NAV is available, free of charge, on the Funds' website at www.fooletfs.com.

**Continuous Offering** 

The method by which Creation Units are purchased and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. Because new Creation Units are issued and sold by the Funds on an ongoing basis, at any point a "distribution," as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may occur. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which could render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the Prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act.

For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client may be deemed a statutory underwriter if it takes Creation Units after placing an order with the Distributor, breaks them down into individual Shares, and sells such Shares directly to customers, or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new Shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for Shares. A determination of whether one is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the particular case, and the examples mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could lead to categorization as an underwriter.

Broker-dealer firms should also note that dealers who are not "underwriters" but are effecting transactions in Shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of Shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act is not available with respect to such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. As a result, broker dealer-firms should note that dealers who are not underwriters but are participating in a distribution (as contrasted with ordinary secondary market transactions) and thus dealing with Shares that are part of an over-allotment within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(a) of the Securities Act would be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act. Firms that incur a prospectus delivery obligation with respect to Shares of a Fund are reminded that under Rule 153 of the Securities Act, a prospectus delivery obligation under Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act owed to an exchange member in connection with a sale on the Exchange is satisfied by the fact that such Fund's Prospectus is available on the SEC's electronic filing system. The prospectus delivery mechanism provided in Rule 153 of the Securities Act is only available with respect to transactions on an exchange.

**Additional Information** 

The Funds enter into contractual arrangements with various parties, including among others the Funds' investment adviser, who provide services to the Funds. Shareholders are not parties to, or intended (or "third party") beneficiaries of, those contractual arrangements.

The Prospectus and the SAI provide information concerning the Funds that you should consider in determining whether to purchase Shares of a Fund. The Funds may make changes to this information from time to time. Neither this Prospectus nor the SAI is intended to give rise to any contract rights or other rights in any shareholder, other than any rights conferred explicitly by federal or state securities laws that may not be waived.

**NO PERSON HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS NOT CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS OR IN THE FUNDS' SAI INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING MADE BY THIS PROSPECTUS AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE COMPANY OR ITS DISTRIBUTOR. THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING BY THE COMPANY OR BY THE DISTRIBUTOR IN ANY JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE MADE.**

**FUND HISTORY**

The Company is an open-end management investment company currently consisting of 95 separate portfolios. The Company is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and was organized as a Maryland corporation on February 29, 1988. This SAI pertains to shares of the Funds.

The Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Fund seeks investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the total return performance of the Motley Fool Rising 100 Minimum Volatility Index.

Each Fund offers and issues shares at its net asset value per share ("NAV") only in aggregations of a specified number of shares (each a "Creation Unit"). Each Fund also generally offers and issues shares in exchange for a basket of securities ("Deposit Securities") together with the deposit of a specified cash payment ("Cash Component"). The Company reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of a "cash in lieu" amount ("Deposit Cash") to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security. The shares of each Fund are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the "Exchange") and trade on the Exchange at market prices. These prices may differ from the shares' NAVs. The shares are also redeemable only in Creation Unit aggregations, and generally in exchange for portfolio securities and a specified cash payment. A Creation Unit of each Fund consists of at least 10,000 Shares.

Shares of each Fund may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Company cash at least equal to a specified percentage of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities as set forth in the Participant Agreement (as defined below). The Company may impose a transaction fee for each creation or redemption (the "Transaction Fee"). In all cases, such fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities. Each Fund may charge, either in lieu or in addition to the fixed creation or redemption Transaction Fee, a variable fee for creations and redemptions in order to cover certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction, up to a maximum of 2.00% of the NAV per Creation Unit, inclusive of any Transaction Fees charged (if applicable).

The Funds are non-diversified series of the Company.

**INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES**

Each Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies is described in the Prospectus. To the extent an investment policy is discussed in this SAI but not in the Prospectuses, such policy is not a principal policy of the Funds. The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, the Prospectus.

With respect to each Fund's investments, unless otherwise noted, if a percentage limitation on investment is adhered to at the time of investment or contract, a subsequent increase or decrease as a result of market movement or redemption will not result in a violation of such investment limitation.

**Types of Equity Securities**

In addition to common stock, the equity securities that the Funds may purchase include preferred and convertible preferred stocks, and securities having equity characteristics, such as rights, warrants, and convertible debt securities. The Funds may invest in securities having equity characteristics, such as rights and warrants. Preferred stocks represent equity ownership interests in a corporation and participate in the corporation's earnings through dividends that the corporation may declare. Unlike common stocks, preferred stocks are entitled to stated dividends payable from the corporation's earnings, which in some cases may be "cumulative" if previous stated dividends have not been paid. Dividends payable on preferred stock have priority over distributions to holders of common stock, and preferred stocks generally have preferences on the distribution of assets in the event of the corporation's liquidation. Preferred stocks may be "participating," which means that they may be entitled to dividends in excess of the stated dividend, in certain cases. The rights of preferred stocks are generally subordinate to rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.

**Convertible Securities**

Convertible securities include convertible debt obligations and convertible preferred stock. A convertible security entitles the holder to exchange it for a fixed number of shares of common stock (or other equity security), usually at a fixed price within a specified period of time. Until conversion, the holder receives the interest paid on a convertible bond or the dividend preference of a preferred stock.

Convertible securities have an "investment value," which is the theoretical value determined by the yield it provides in comparison with similar securities without the conversion feature. The investment value changes are based on prevailing interest rates and other factors. They also have a "conversion value," which is the worth in market value if the security were exchanged for the underlying equity security. Conversion value fluctuates directly with the price of the underlying security. If conversion value is substantially below investment value, the price of the convertible security is governed principally by its investment value. If the conversion value is near or above investment value, the price of the convertible security generally will rise above investment value and may represent a premium over conversion value because of the combination of the convertible security's right to interest (or dividend preference) and the possibility of capital appreciation from the conversion feature. A convertible security's price, when price is influenced primarily by its conversion value, will generally yield less than a senior non-convertible security of comparable investment value. Convertible securities may be purchased at varying price levels above their investment values or conversion values. However, there is no assurance that any premium above investment value or conversion value will be recovered, because prices change, and, as a result, the ability to achieve capital appreciation through conversion may never occur.

**Derivative Investments**

As part of their non-principal investment strategies, the Funds may use certain derivative instruments in connection with their investment activities. Described below are the types of derivatives in which the Funds may invest, as well as information regarding the risks associated with Funds' use of derivatives.

<u>Derivatives, Generally</u>

The Funds may invest in derivatives for a variety of reasons, including to gain access to certain securities, to provide a substitute for purchasing or selling particular securities, to hedge currency risk, or to seek capital appreciation. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risk, depending upon the characteristics of the particular derivative and the Funds' portfolio as a whole. Derivatives may permit the Funds to increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, to which its portfolio is exposed, in much the same way as the Funds can increase or decrease the level of risk, or change the character of the risk, of its portfolio by making investments in specific securities or currencies. Derivatives may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in derivatives could have a large potential impact on the Funds' performance.

Derivatives may be purchased on established exchanges or over the counter ("OTC") through privately negotiated transactions. Exchange-traded derivatives generally are guaranteed by the clearing agency that is the issuer or counterparty to such derivatives. This guarantee usually is supported by a daily payment system (*i.e.,* variation margin requirements) operated by the clearing agency in order to reduce settlement risks. As a result, unless the clearing agency defaults, there is relatively little counterparty credit risk associated with derivatives purchased on an exchange. By contrast, no clearing agency guarantees OTC derivatives. Therefore, each party to an OTC derivative bears the risk that the counterparty will default. Accordingly, the Adviser will consider the creditworthiness of counterparties to OTC derivatives in the same manner as it would review the credit quality of a security to be purchased by the Funds. OTC derivatives are less liquid than exchange-traded derivatives, since the other party to the transaction may be the only investor with sufficient understanding of the derivative to be interested in bidding for it. Variable rate and floating-rate securities may also be considered a type of derivative.

To the extent a Fund invests in derivatives subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"), it will do so in accordance with Regulation 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Company, on behalf of the Funds, has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" ("CPO") under the CEA, and the regulations of the CFTC promulgated thereunder, with respect to the Funds' operation. The Company is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO. However, the CFTC has adopted certain rule amendments that significantly affect the continued availability of this exclusion and may subject advisers to mutual funds to regulation by the CFTC. Although the Company has concluded that the Funds should be able to operate within the exclusion from CFTC regulation, there is no certainty that the Funds or the Company will be able to continue to rely on an exclusion from CFTC regulation in the future. The Funds may determine not to use investment strategies that trigger CFTC regulation or may determine to operate subject to CFTC regulation, if applicable. If a Fund operates subject to CFTC regulation, it may incur additional expenses.

Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act provides for the regulation of a registered investment company's use of derivatives and related instruments. Rule 18f-4 prescribes specific value-at-risk leverage limits for certain derivatives users and requires certain derivatives users to adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program (including the appointment of a derivatives risk manager and the implementation of certain testing requirements), and prescribes reporting requirements in respect of derivatives. Subject to certain conditions, if a fund qualifies as a "limited derivatives user," as defined in Rule 18f-4, it is not subject to the full requirements of Rule 18f-4. With respect to reverse repurchase agreements or other similar financing transactions in particular, including certain tender option bonds, Rule 18f-4 permits a fund to enter into such transactions if the fund either (i) complies with the asset coverage requirements of Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and combines the aggregate amount of indebtedness associated with all reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions with the aggregate amount of any other senior securities representing indebtedness when calculating the relevant asset coverage ratio, or (ii) treats all reverse repurchase agreements or similar financing transactions as derivatives transactions for all purposes under Rule 18f-4. The Funds have adopted procedures for investing in derivatives and other transactions in compliance with Rule 18f-4. Limits or restrictions applicable to the counterparties or issuers, as applicable, with which a Fund may engage in derivative transactions could also limit or prevent the Fund from using certain instruments.

The use of derivatives is also subject to operational and legal risks. Operational risks generally refer to risks related to potential operational issues, including documentation issues, settlement issues, system failures, inadequate controls, and human error. Legal risks generally refer to risks of loss resulting from insufficient documentation, insufficient capacity or authority of a counterparty, or legality or enforceability of a contract.

<u>Forward Foreign Currency Contracts</u>

The Funds are authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts. These contracts represent agreements to exchange an amount of currency at an agreed-upon future date and rate. The rate can be higher or lower than the spot rate between the currencies that are the subject of the contract*.* A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and such transactions do not involve commissions. By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency invested in an equity or fixed-income security of a foreign issuer (a "foreign security"), a Fund can hedge against possible variations in the value of the dollar versus the subject currency either between the date the foreign security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received ("transaction hedging"), or during the time the Fund holds the foreign security ("position hedging"). Hedging against a decline in the value of a currency through the use of forward contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of securities or prevent losses if the prices of securities decline. Hedging transactions precludes the opportunity for gain if the value of the hedged currency should rise. A Fund will not speculate in forward currency contracts. If a Fund enters into a position-hedging transaction, which is the sale of forward non-U.S. currency with respect to a security held by it and denominated in such foreign currency, the Company's custodian will place cash or liquid securities in a separate account in an amount equal to the value of the Fund's total assets committed to the consummation of such forward contract. If the value of the securities placed in the account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the account so that the value of cash or securities in the account will equal the amount of the Funds' commitments with respect to such contracts. Forward contracts will not be used in all cases and, in any event, cannot completely protect the Funds against all changes in the values of foreign securities resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

<u>Warrants and Rights</u>

These securities are forms of derivative instruments that have equity-like characteristics. Warrants are instruments that give the Funds the right to purchase certain securities from an issuer at a specific price (the "strike price") for a limited period of time. The strike price of warrants typically is much lower than is the current market price of the underlying securities, yet they are subject to similar price fluctuations. As a result, warrants may be more volatile investments than are the underlying securities and may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss. Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying securities and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. In addition, the value of the warrant does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities, and a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised before the expiration date. These factors may make warrants more speculative than other types of investments. Rights are similar to warrants but normally have a short duration (usually two to four weeks) and are distributed directly by the issuer to its existing shareholders.

<u>Total Return Swaps and Participatory Notes</u>

The Funds may enter into total return swaps and participatory notes, which are very similar to swaps but specific to a particular foreign market. A swap is a contract under which two parties agree to make payments to each other based on specified interest rates or the value of an index or other instrument, applied to a stated or "notional" amount. A Fund may use total return swaps and participatory notes to increase its investment exposure to particular foreign securities markets and foreign securities. These instruments are subject to various types of risks, including market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty credit risk, legal risk, and operations risk. In addition, they can involve significant economic leverage and risks of loss.

**Exchange-Traded Funds and Other Similar Instruments**

Each Fund may purchase shares of exchange-traded funds that are registered under the 1940 Act ("ETFs") and shares of similar investment vehicles that are not registered under the 1940 Act (together with the ETFs, "Traded Funds"). Typically, a Traded Fund holds a portfolio of common stocks designed to track the performance of a particular index or a "basket" of stocks of companies within a particular industry sector or group. Traded Funds sell and redeem their shares at NAV in large blocks (typically at least 25,000 shares) called "creation units." Shares representing fractional interests in these creation units are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and can be purchased and sold in the secondary market in lots of any size at any time during the trading day.

Investments in Traded Funds involve certain inherent risks generally associated with investments in a broadly based portfolio of stocks, including risks that the general level of stock prices may decline and thereby adversely affect the value of each unit of the Traded Fund. In addition, a Traded Fund may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the Traded Fund and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or number of stocks held.

Because Traded Funds bear various fees and expenses, a Fund's investment in these instruments will involve certain indirect costs, as well as transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions. The Adviser will consider the expenses associated with an investment in determining whether to invest in a Traded Fund.

**Foreign Custody Risk**

The International Opportunities Fund may hold foreign securities and cash with foreign banks, agents, and securities depositories appointed by the Fund's custodian (each a "Foreign Custodian"). Some Foreign Custodians may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business. In some countries, Foreign Custodians may be subject to little or no regulatory oversight over or independent evaluation of their operations. Further, the laws of certain countries may place limitations on the International Opportunities Fund's ability to recover its assets if a Foreign Custodian enters bankruptcy. Investments in emerging markets may be subject to even greater custody risks than investments in more developed markets. Custody services in emerging market countries are very often undeveloped and may be considerably less well-regulated than in more developed countries, and thus may not afford the same level of investor protection as would apply in developed countries.

**Foreign Securities**

The International Opportunities Fund may invest in equity and fixed-income securities of foreign companies, including companies located in both developed and emerging-market countries. Investment in foreign securities may include the purchase of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and other depositary receipts (European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and Non-Voting Depositary Receipts) that represent indirect interests in securities of foreign issuers. A significant portion of a Fund's exposure to foreign investments may be composed of such investments. Investments in foreign securities are affected by risk factors generally not associated with investments in the securities of U.S. companies in the U.S. With respect to such securities, there may be more limited information publicly available concerning the issuer than would be the case with respect to domestic securities, foreign issuers may use different accounting standards, and foreign trading markets may not be as liquid as are U.S. markets*.* Foreign securities also involve such risks as currency risks, possible imposition of withholding or confiscatory taxes, possible currency transfer restrictions, expropriation or other adverse political or economic developments, and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. These risks may be greater in emerging-market countries and in less developed countries.

The purchase of securities denominated in foreign currencies will subject the value of the Fund's investments in those securities to fluctuations caused by changes in foreign exchange rates. To hedge against the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, the Funds may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts ("forward contracts"). These contracts represent agreements to exchange an amount of currency at an agreed-upon future date and rate. The Fund will generally use forward contracts only to "lock in" the price in U.S. dollars of a foreign security that the Fund plans to purchase or to sell, but in certain limited cases, they may use such contracts to hedge against an anticipated substantial decline in the price of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar that would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of foreign securities held by the Fund. Forward contracts will not be used in all cases and, in any event, cannot completely protect the Fund against all changes in the values of foreign securities resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Fund will not enter into a forward contract if, as a result, forward contracts would represent more than 20% of the Funds' total assets. For hedging purposes, the Funds may also use options on foreign currencies, which expose the Funds to certain risks. See "DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS — Options on Foreign Currency" and "INVESTMENT POLICIES AND PRACTICES — Forward Contracts."

Some foreign securities are traded in the U.S. in the form of ADRs. ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of the underlying securities of foreign issuers. European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs") and Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") are receipts typically issued by foreign banks or trust companies, evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by either a foreign or U.S. issuer. Non-Voting Depositary Receipts ("NVDRs") are listed securities through which investors receive the same financial benefits as those who invest directly in a company's ordinary shares; however, unlike ordinary shareholders, NVDR holders cannot be involved in proxy voting if the company solicits votes from shareholders. Investments in NVDRs involve certain risks unique to foreign investments. Generally, depositary receipts in registered form are designed for use in the U.S. and depositary receipts in bearer form are designed for use in securities markets outside the U.S. Depositary receipts may not necessarily have the same currency denomination as the underlying securities into which they may be converted. Depositary receipts generally involve the same risks as do other investments in foreign securities. However, holders of ADRs and other depositary receipts may not have all the legal rights of shareholders and may experience difficulty in receiving shareholder communications.

European countries can be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the European Economic and Monetary Union ("EMU") imposes for membership. Europe's economies are diverse, its governments are decentralized, and its cultures vary widely. Several European Union ("EU") countries have faced budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries. There is continued concern about national-level support for the euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among EMU member countries. Member countries are required to maintain tight control over inflation, public debt, and budget deficit to qualify for membership in the EMU. These requirements can severely limit the ability of EMU member countries to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions.

In June 2016, the United Kingdom (the "UK") approved a referendum to leave the EU. The withdrawal, known colloquially as "Brexit", was agreed to and ratified by the UK Parliament, and the UK left the EU on January 31, 2020. It began an 11-month transition period in which to negotiate a new trading relationship for goods and services that ended on December 31, 2020. The UK and the EU signed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement ("TCA") on December 30, 2020, which was applied provisionally as of January 1, 2021 and entered into force on May 1, 2021. The TCA is an agreement on the terms governing certain aspects of the relationship between the EU and the UK following the end of the transition period. Further discussions are to be held between the UK and the EU in relation to matters not covered by the trade agreement, such as financial services. Brexit may have significant political and financial consequences for the Eurozone markets, including greater volatility in the global stock markets and illiquidity, fluctuations in currency and exchange rates, and an increased likelihood of a recession in the UK. At this time, the impact of Brexit cannot be predicted, however, market disruption in the EU and globally may have a negative effect on the value of the Funds' investments. Additionally, the risks related to Brexit could be more pronounced if one or more additional EU member states seek to leave the EU.

Recently, various countries have seen significant internal conflicts and in some cases, civil wars may have had an adverse impact on the securities markets of the countries concerned. In addition, the occurrence of new disturbances due to acts of war or terrorism or other political developments cannot be excluded. Nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes, government regulation, political, regulatory or social instability or uncertainty or diplomatic developments, including the imposition of sanctions or other similar measures, could adversely affect the Funds' investments.

Recent examples of the above include conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and Hamas and Israel in the Middle East. The extent, duration and impact of these conflicts, related sanctions and retaliatory actions are difficult to ascertain, but could be significant and have severe adverse effects on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities and commodities. These impacts could negatively affect the Funds' investments in securities and instruments that are economically tied to the applicable region, and include (but are not limited to) declines in value and reductions in liquidity. In addition, to the extent new sanctions are imposed or previously relaxed sanctions are reimposed (including with respect to countries undergoing transformation), complying with such restrictions may prevent the Funds from pursuing certain investments, cause delays or other impediments with respect to consummating such investments or divestments, require divestment or freezing of investments on unfavorable terms, render divestment of underperforming investments impracticable, negatively impact the Funds' ability to achieve their investment objectives, prevent the Funds from receiving payments otherwise due, increase diligence and other similar costs to the Funds, render valuation of affected investments challenging, or require the Funds to consummate an investment on terms that are less advantageous than would be the case absent such restrictions. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect the Funds' performance with respect to such investments, and thus the Funds' performance as a whole.

Each Fund may invest a portion of its total assets in securities of companies that may be involved in special corporate situations, the occurrence of which would favorably affect the values of the companies' equity securities. Such situations could include, among other developments, a change in management or management policies; the acquisition of a significant equity position in the company by an investor or investor group; a merger, a reorganization, or the sale of a division; the spinoff of a subsidiary, division, or other substantial assets; or a third-party or issuer tender offer. The primary risk of this type of investing is that if the contemplated event does not occur or if a proposed transaction is abandoned, revised, or delayed or becomes subject to unanticipated uncertainties, the market price of the securities may decline below the purchase price the Fund paid.

In general, securities that are the subject of a special corporate situation sell at a premium to their market prices immediately following the announcement of the situation. However, the increased market price of these securities may nonetheless represent a discount from what the stated or appraised value of the security would be if the contemplated transaction were approved or consummated. These investments may be advantageous when the following occur: (1) the discount significantly overstates the risk of the contingencies involved; (2) the discount significantly undervalues the securities, assets, or cash to be received by shareholders of the prospective portfolio company as a result of the contemplated transactions; or (3) the discount fails adequately to recognize the possibility that the offer or proposal may be replaced or superseded by an offer or proposal of greater value. The evaluation of these contingencies requires unusually broad knowledge and experience on the part of the Adviser, which must appraise not only the value of the issuer and its component businesses as well as the assets or securities to be received as a result of the contemplated transaction, but also the financial resources and business motivation of the offer or, as well as the dynamics of the business climate when the offer or proposal is in progress.

A Fund's special corporate situation investments may tend to increase its portfolio turnover ratio and thereby increase brokerage commissions and other transaction expenses. However, the Adviser attempts to select investments of the type described that, in its view, also have a reasonable prospect of significant capital appreciation over the long term.

**Types of Fixed-Income Securities**

Each Fund may invest in bonds and other types of debt obligations of U.S. issuers. Fixed-income securities purchased by a Fund may include, among others, bonds, notes, and debentures issued by corporations; debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities ("U.S. Government Securities"); municipal securities; mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities; and debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments, their agencies, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, or by government-owned, -controlled, or -sponsored entities, including central banks. These investments also include money market instruments and other types of obligations. Investors should recognize that, although securities ratings issued by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Services<sup>©</sup>, Inc. ("Moody's"), provide a generally useful guide as to credit risks, they do not offer any criteria to evaluate interest rate risk. A description of the ratings that the Adviser deems most relevant to a Fund is set forth in <u>Appendix A</u> to this SAI. Changes in interest rate levels generally cause fluctuations in the prices of fixed-income securities and will, therefore, cause fluctuations in the NAV per share of a Fund. Subsequent to the purchase of a fixed-income security by a Fund, the ratings or credit quality of such security may deteriorate. Any such subsequent adverse changes in the rating or quality of a security held by the Fund would not require the Fund to sell the security.

<u>Zero-Coupon Securities</u>

Fixed-income securities purchased by a Fund may include zero-coupon securities. These securities do not pay any interest until maturity, and for this reason, zero-coupon securities of longer maturities may trade at a deep discount from their face or par values and may be subject to greater fluctuations in market value than would ordinary debt obligations of comparable maturity. Current federal tax law requires the holder of a zero-coupon security to accrue a portion of the discount at which the security was purchased as income each year, even though the holder receives no interest payment that year.

<u>Variable- and Floating-Rate Securities</u>

Fixed-income securities purchased by a Fund may also include variable- and floating-rate securities. The interest rates payable on these securities are adjusted either at pre-designated periodic intervals or whenever there is a change in an established market rate of interest. Other features may include a right whereby a Fund may demand prepayment of the principal amount before the stated maturity (a "demand feature") and the right of an issuer to prepay the principal amount before maturity. One benefit of variable- and floating-rate securities is that because of interest rate adjustments on the obligation, changes in market value that would normally result from fluctuations in prevailing interest rates are reduced. One benefit of a demand feature is enhanced liquidity.

<u>Non-Investment-Grade Debt Securities</u>

Each Fund may invest in both investment-grade and non-investment-grade debt securities (including high-yield bonds). Non-investment-grade debt securities (typically called "junk bonds") are securities considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

Companies that issue these securities often are highly leveraged and may not have available to them more traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risks associated with acquiring the securities of such issuers generally are greater than is the case with higher-grade securities*.* For example, during an economic downturn or a sustained period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers of these securities may not have sufficient revenues to meet their interest payment obligations. The issuer's ability to service its debt obligations also may be affected adversely by specific corporate developments, forecasts, or the unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss because of default by the issuer is significantly greater for the holders of these securities, because such securities generally are unsecured and often are subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

Because there is no established retail secondary market for many of these securities, each Fund anticipates that such securities could be sold only to a limited number of dealers or institutional investors. To the extent a secondary trading market for these securities does exist, it generally is not as liquid as is the secondary market for higher-grade securities. The lack of a liquid secondary market may have an adverse impact on market price and yield, as well as on a Fund's ability to dispose of particular issues when necessary to meet a Fund's liquidity needs or in response to a specific economic event such as a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer. The lack of a liquid secondary market for certain securities also may make it more difficult for a Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing a Fund's portfolio and calculating its NAV*.* Adverse publicity and investor perceptions may decrease the values and liquidity of these securities. In such cases, judgment may play a greater role in valuation, because of a lack of reliable, objective data.

These securities may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns. It is likely that an economic recession could severely disrupt the market for such securities and may have an adverse impact on the value of such securities. In addition, it is likely that any such economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such securities to repay principal and pay interest thereon and increase the incidence of default for such securities.

Each Fund may acquire these securities during an initial offering. Such securities may involve special risks because they are new issues. None of the Funds have any arrangement with any person concerning the acquisition of such securities, and the Adviser will review the credit and other characteristics pertinent to such new issues.

**Real Estate Investment Trusts**

Each Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), which are pooled investment vehicles that manage a portfolio of real estate or real estate-related loans to earn profits for their shareholders. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs, or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs. Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to the risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, and mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of the borrower on any credit extended. REITs are dependent on management skills, may not be diversified geographically or by property type, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers, and self-liquidation. REITs must also meet certain requirements under the Code, to avoid entity-level tax and be eligible to pass through certain tax attributes of their income to shareholders. REITs are consequently subject to the risk of failing to meet these requirements for favorable tax treatment and of failing to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. REITs are also subject to the risks of changes in the Code that could affect their tax status.

REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to decline. In contrast, as interest rates on adjustable-rate mortgage loans are reset periodically, yields on a REIT's investments in such loans will gradually align themselves to reflect changes in market interest rates, and as a result, the value of such investments will fluctuate less dramatically in response to interest rate fluctuations than would investments in fixed-rate obligations.

The management of a REIT may be subject to conflicts of interest with respect to the operation of the business of the REIT and may be involved in real estate activities competitive with the REIT. REITs may own properties through joint ventures or in other circumstances in which a REIT may not have control over its investments. REITs may use significant amounts of leverage.

REITs often do not provide complete tax information until after the end of the calendar year. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for the Funds, if invested in REITs, to request permission to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV. Alternatively, amended Forms 1099-DIV may be sent.

The REIT investments of a Fund may not provide complete tax information to the Fund until after the calendar year-end. Consequently, because of the delay, it may be necessary for the Fund to request permission to extend the deadline for issuance of Forms 1099-DIV beyond January 31. Also, under current provisions of the Code, distributions attributable to operating income of REITs in which a Fund invests are not eligible for favorable tax treatment as long-term capital gains and will be taxable to you as ordinary income. Through 2025, a Fund may designate such distributions as "section 199A dividends" to the extent of the excess of the ordinary REIT dividends, other than capital gain dividends and portions of REIT dividends designated as qualified dividend income, that the Fund receives from a REIT for a taxable year over the Fund's expenses allocable to such dividends. Section 199A dividends may be taxed to individuals and other non-corporate shareholders at a reduced effective federal income tax rate, provided you have satisfied a holding period requirement for the Fund's shares and satisfied certain other conditions. Section 199A is currently set to expire after 2025.

**Securities of Other Investment Companies**

The Funds may invest in securities of other investment companies, including shares of money market funds. As stated above, the Funds may invest in ETF shares. A Fund's investment in securities of other investment companies (other than shares of money market funds and of certain ETFs) may be subject to certain limitations imposed by the 1940 Act -- generally, a prohibition on acquiring more than 3 percent of the outstanding voting stock of another investment company. Investment companies such as ETFs and money market funds pay investment advisory and other fees and incur various expenses in connection with their operations. When a Fund invest in another investment company, shareholders of the Fund will indirectly bear these fees and expenses, which will be in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund.

The SEC has adopted revisions to the rules permitting funds to invest in other investment companies in excess of the limits described above. While new Rule 12d1-4 permits more types of fund of fund arrangements without reliance on an exemptive order or no-action letters, it imposes new conditions, including limits on control and voting of acquired funds' shares, evaluations and findings by investment advisers, fund investment agreements, and limits on most three-tier fund structures. Rule 12d1-4 went into effect on January 19, 2021. The rescission of the applicable exemptive orders and the withdrawal of the applicable no-action letters was effective on January 19, 2022.

**Master Limited Partnerships**

Each Fund may invest in master limited partnerships ("MLPs"), which are publicly traded companies organized as limited partnerships or limited liability companies and treated as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes. MLPs combine the tax advantages of a partnership with the liquidity of a publicly traded stock. MLP income is generally not subject to entity-level tax. Instead, an MLP's income, gain, loss, deductions, and other tax items pass through to common unitholders. If tax were to be required to be paid by the MLP at the entity level, the value of the MLP interests held by a Fund would be expected to decrease.

MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount ("MQD"). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent that the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD. However, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD paid to both common and subordinated units is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner that causes distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions. A common arrangement provides that the general partner can reach a tier at which it receives 50% of every incremental dollar paid to common and subordinated unit holders. These incentive distributions encourage the general partner to streamline costs, increase capital expenditures, and acquire assets in order to increase the partnership's cash flow and raise the quarterly cash distribution in order to reach higher tiers. Such results benefit all security holders of the MLP.

**Illiquid Investments**

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (the "Liquidity Rule"), each of the Funds may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. An illiquid investment as defined in Rule 22e-4 is an investment that a Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within 7 calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. These investments may include restricted securities and repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. Restricted securities are securities that may not be sold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and thus may be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to an exemption from registration. Subject to the adoption of guidelines by the Board of Directors of the Company ("Board"), certain restricted securities that may be sold to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act and non-exempt commercial paper may be determined to be liquid by the Adviser. Illiquid investments involve the risk that the investments will not be able to be sold at the time the Adviser desires or at prices approximating the value at which a Fund is carrying the investments. To the extent an investment held by a Fund is deemed to be an illiquid investment or a less liquid investment, the Fund will be exposed to a greater liquidity risk.

The Company has implemented a liquidity risk management program and related procedures to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4. If the limitation on illiquid investments is exceeded, the condition will be reported to the Board and, when required by the Liquidity Rule, to the SEC.

**Temporary Investments**

During periods of adverse market or economic conditions, each Fund may temporarily invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in high-quality, fixed-income securities, money market instruments, and shares of money market mutual funds, or it may hold cash. At such times, a Fund would not be pursuing its stated investment objective with its usual investment strategies. Each Fund may also hold these investments for liquidity purposes. Fixed-income securities will be deemed to be of high quality if they are rated "A" or better by S&P or Moody's or, if unrated, are determined to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term fixed-income obligations (which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less) and may include U.S. Government Securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and banker's acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and repurchase agreements for U.S. Government Securities. In lieu of purchasing money market instruments, each Fund may purchase shares of money market mutual funds that invest primarily in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements involving those securities, subject to certain limitations imposed by the 1940 Act. Each Fund, as an investor in a money market fund, will indirectly bear that fund's fees and expenses, which will be in addition to the fees and expenses of the Fund. Repurchase agreements involve certain risks not associated with direct investments in debt securities.

**Non-Diversification Risk**

Non-diversification risk is the risk that a Fund may be more susceptible to adverse financial, economic or other developments affecting any single issuer, and more susceptible to greater losses because of these developments. A "non-diversified" classification means that the Funds are not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. The securities of a particular issuer may dominate a Fund and consequently, the Fund's investment portfolio.

Each of the Funds intends to maintain the required level of diversification and otherwise conduct its respective operations so as to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the Code, and to relieve the respective Fund of any liability for federal income tax to the extent that its respective earnings are distributed to shareholders. Compliance with the diversification requirements of the Code may limit the ability of each Fund to track its underlying Index, and may make it less likely that the Funds will meet their investment objectives.

**Portfolio Turnover**

Although the Funds generally do not intend to engage in short-term trading, portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the time they have been held when investment considerations warrant such action. It is expected that each Fund's portfolio turnover rate will not exceed 100%*.* A higher portfolio turnover rate would result in higher brokerage costs to a Fund and could also result in the realization of larger amounts of capital gains, including short-term capital gains. Capital gains are generally taxable when distributed to shareholders, and distributions of short-term capital gains are generally taxable at ordinary income tax rates. No portfolio turnover rate is provided for the Funds because the Funds had not commenced operations prior to the date of this SAI.

**Repurchase Agreements**

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements involving the types of securities eligible for purchase by the Fund. However, there is no limitation on the maturity of the securities underlying the repurchase agreements. A Fund may use repurchase agreements in lieu of purchasing money market instruments.

Repurchase agreements, which may be viewed as a type of secured lending by a Fund, typically involves the acquisition by the Fund of U.S. Government Securities or other securities from a selling financial institution such as a bank, savings and loan association, or broker-dealer. The agreement provides that a Fund will sell back to the institution, and that the institution will repurchase, the underlying security ("collateral") at a specified price and at a fixed time in the future, usually not more than seven days from the date of purchase. The Fund will receive interest from the institution until the time the repurchase is to occur*.* Although such date is deemed to be the maturity date of a repurchase agreement, the maturities of securities subject to repurchase agreements are not subject to any limits and may exceed one year.

Repurchase agreements involve certain risks not associated with direct investments in debt securities. If the seller under a repurchase agreement becomes insolvent, a Fund's right to dispose of the securities may be restricted, or the value of the securities may decline before the Fund is able to dispose of them. In the event of the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the seller of the securities before the repurchase of the securities under a repurchase agreement is accomplished, a Fund may encounter delay and incur costs, including a decline in the value of the securities, before being able to sell the securities. If the seller defaults, the value of such securities may decline before a Fund is able to dispose of them. If a Fund enters into a repurchase agreement that is subject to foreign law and the other party defaults, a Fund may not enjoy protections comparable to those provided to certain repurchase agreements under U.S. bankruptcy law and may suffer delays and losses in disposing of the collateral as a result.

Each Fund has adopted procedures designed to minimize the risks of loss from repurchase agreement transactions. These procedures include a requirement that the Adviser effect repurchase transactions only with large, well-capitalized U.S. financial institutions that the Adviser approves as creditworthy based on periodic review under guidelines established and monitored by the Board. In addition, the value of the collateral underlying the repurchase agreement, which the Company's custodian will hold on behalf of a Fund, will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. In the event of a default or bankruptcy by a selling financial institution, a Fund will seek to liquidate such collateral. However, the exercise of a Fund's right to liquidate such collateral could involve certain costs or delays and, to the extent that proceeds from any sale upon a default of the obligation to repurchase were less than the repurchase price, a Fund could suffer a loss.

**Lending Portfolio Securities**

Each Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. These loans will be secured by collateral (consisting of cash, U.S. Government Securities, or irrevocable letters of credit) maintained in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value, determined daily, of the loaned securities. Each Fund may, subject to certain notice requirements, at any time call the loan and obtain the return of the securities loaned. The Funds will be entitled to payments equal to the interest and dividends on the loaned securities and may receive a premium for lending the securities. The advantage of such loans is that a Fund continues to receive the income on the loaned securities while earning interest on the cash amounts deposited as collateral, which will be invested in short-term investments.

A loan may be terminated by the borrower on one business day's notice, or by the Company on two business days' notice. If the borrower fails to deliver the loaned securities within four days after receipt of notice, the Company may use the collateral to replace the securities while holding the borrower liable for any excess of replacement cost exceeding the collateral. As with any extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in recovery and, in some cases, even loss of rights in the collateral, should the borrower of the securities fail financially. In addition, securities lending involves a form of leverage, and a Fund may incur a loss if securities purchased with the collateral from securities loans decline in value or if the income earned does not cover the Fund's transaction costs. However, loans of securities will be made only to companies the Board deems to be creditworthy (such creditworthiness will be monitored on an ongoing basis) and when the income that can be earned from such loans justifies the attendant risks. Upon termination of the loan, the borrower is required to return the securities. Any gain or loss in the market price during the loan period would inure to the Funds.

When voting or consent rights that accompany loaned securities pass to the borrower, the Company will follow the policy of calling the loaned securities, to be delivered within one day after notice, to permit the exercise of such rights if the matters involved would have a material effect on the investment in such loaned securities. The Funds will pay reasonable finder's, administrative, and custodial fees in connection with loans of securities. The Funds may lend foreign securities consistent with the foregoing requirements.

**Special Note Regarding Market Events**

Periods of unusually high financial market volatility and restrictive credit conditions, at times limited to a particular sector or geographic area, have occurred in the past and may be expected to recur in the future. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted or have signaled protectionist trade measures, relaxation of the financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/or reductions to corporate taxes. The scope of these policy changes is still developing, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, particularly if a resulting policy runs counter to the market's expectations. The outcome of such changes cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats may add to instability in the world economy and markets generally. As a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of a Fund's investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region, regardless of whether a Fund invests in issuers located in or with significant exposure to such country or region.

Disease outbreaks that affect local economies or the global economy may materially and adversely impact a Fund and/or the Adviser's business. For example, uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 outbreak have resulted in serious economic disruptions across the globe. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are available, the full impacts of a pandemic or disease outbreaks are unknown and the pace of recovery may vary from market to market. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could adversely affect national and global economies, individual companies and the market in general in a manner and for a period of time that cannot be foreseen at the present time. Health crises caused by a disease outbreak may heighten other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in a country or region. Governmental authorities and regulators throughout the world, such as the U.S. Federal Reserve, have in the past responded to major economic disruptions with changes to fiscal and monetary policy, including but not limited to, direct capital infusions, new monetary programs, and interest rate changes. Such policy changes may adversely affect the value, volatility and liquidity of dividend and interest paying securities. In certain cases, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securities or even the entire market, which may result in a Fund being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or to accurately price its investments. In the event of a pandemic or an outbreak, there can be no assurance that the Funds and their service providers will be able to maintain normal business operations for an extended period of time or will not lose the services of key personnel on a temporary or long-term basis due to illness or other reasons. A pandemic or disease could also impair the information technology and other operational systems upon which the Adviser relies, and could otherwise disrupt the ability of the Funds' service providers to perform essential tasks. Although multiple asset classes may be affected by a market disruption, the duration and effects may not be the same for all types of assets. To the extent a Fund may overweight its investments in certain countries, companies, industries or market sectors, such position will increase the Fund's exposure to risk of loss from adverse developments affecting those countries, companies, industries or sectors. These conditions could result in a Fund's inability to achieve its investment objectives, cause the postponement of reconstitution or rebalance dates for benchmark indices, adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests, negatively impacting the Fund performance, and cause losses on your investments in the Fund. You should also review the Funds' Prospectus and this SAI to understand the Funds' discretion to implement temporary defensive measures, as well as the circumstances in which a Fund may satisfy redemption requests in-kind.

Additionally, U.S. and global markets recently have experienced increased volatility, including the recent failures of certain U.S. and non-U.S. banks, which could be harmful to the Funds, underlying funds, and issuers in which they invest. Conditions in the banking sector are evolving, and the scope of any potential impacts to the Funds, underlying funds, and issuers, both from market conditions and also potential legislative or regulatory responses, are uncertain. Continued market volatility and uncertainty and/or a downturn in market and economic and financial conditions, as a result of developments in the banking industry or otherwise (including as a result of delayed access to cash or credit facilities), could have an adverse impact on the Funds, underlying funds, and issuers in which they invest.

**Cyber Security Risk**

Each Fund and its service providers may be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause a Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption, or lose operational capacity. Breaches in cyber security include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information or various other forms of cyber-attacks. Cyber security breaches affecting a Fund or the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, intermediaries and other third-party service providers may adversely impact the Funds. For instance, cyber security breaches may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, impact a Fund's ability to calculate its NAVs, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential business information, impede trading, subject a Fund to regulatory fines or financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Each Fund may also incur additional costs for cyber security risk management purposes. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities in which each Fund may invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause a Fund's investment in such companies to lose value. While each Fund and its service providers have established IT and data security programs and have in place business continuity plans and other systems designed to prevent losses and mitigate cyber security risk, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified or that cyber-attacks may be highly sophisticated. Furthermore, the Funds have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Funds or the Adviser.

**RIC Compliance Risk**

Each Fund intends to elect to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code. To qualify for federal income tax treatment as a RIC, each Fund must meet certain source-of-income, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. If for any taxable year a Fund fails to qualify for the special federal income tax treatment afforded to RICs, all of such Fund's taxable income will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates (without any deduction for distributions to its shareholders) and its income available for distribution will be reduced. Under certain circumstances, a Fund could cure a failure to qualify as a RIC, but in order to do so, such Fund could incur significant Fund-level taxes and could be forced to dispose of certain assets.

**INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS**

The Company has adopted the following investment restrictions as fundamental policies with respect to each Fund. These restrictions cannot be changed with respect to each Fund without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. For the purposes of the 1940 Act, a "majority of outstanding shares" means the vote of the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present at the meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

**Except with the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, each Fund may not:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Concentrate its investments (*i.e.*, hold more than 25% of its total assets) in any industry or group
 of related industries, except that a Fund will concentrate to approximately the same extent as its respective Index concentrates in the
 securities of such particular industry or group of related industries. For purposes of this limitation, securities of the U.S. government
 (including its agencies and instrumentalities), repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, and tax-exempt securities
 of state or municipal governments and their political subdivisions are not considered to be issued by members of any industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Borrow money or issue senior securities (as defined under the 1940 Act), except to the extent permitted under
 the 1940 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Make loans, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments,
 except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. This shall not prevent a Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed
 by real estate, real estate investment trusts or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments,
 except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. This shall not prevent each Fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts
 or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

Group of related industries is defined as three or more industries based on the Adviser's classification for the purpose of this section.

Notwithstanding any restrictions relating to entering into reverse repurchase agreements, selling securities short, purchasing or selling financial futures contracts, or writing covered put and call options on securities, stock indices, and foreign currencies, the International Opportunities Fund does not engage in these types of activities.

Each Fund has adopted the following additional investment restrictions, which are not fundamental and which the Board may change. Under these restrictions, a Fund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Invest in the securities of a company for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, this limitation
 shall not be deemed to prohibit the Fund from exercising voting rights with respect to its portfolio securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Pledge, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber its assets, except in an amount not to exceed 33 1/3%
 of the value of the Funds' total assets to secure permitted borrowings and to implement collateral and similar arrangements incident
 to permitted investment practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Purchase securities that are illiquid, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days, if,
 as a result, more than 15% of the value of a Fund's net assets would be so invested.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Purchase securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

and the Large Cap Growth Fund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Make any change in its policy to invest 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment

and the Multi-Factor Fund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Make any change in its policy to invest 80% of its total assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment

 certain liquidity requirements under normal market conditions unless it provides its shareholders with at least 60 days prior written
 notice.

and the Innovative Growth Fund may not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Make any change in its policy to invest 80% of its total assets (exclusive of any collateral held

If a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time of investment or contract, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from any change in value or total or net assets will not result in a violation of such restriction, except that the percentage limitations with respect to the borrowing of money and illiquid investments will be observed continuously. If the percentage of a Fund's net assets invested in illiquid investments exceeds 15% due to market activity or changes in a Fund's portfolio, the Fund will take appropriate measures to reduce its holdings of illiquid investments as soon as reasonably practicable, in a manner consistent with prudent management and the interests of the Fund.

**EXCHANGE LISTING AND TRADING**

Shares are listed for trading and trade throughout the day on the Exchange.

There can be no assurance that any Fund will continue to meet the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of shares. The Exchange will consider the suspension of trading in, and will initiate delisting proceedings of, the shares of a Fund under any of the following circumstances: (i) if any of the requirements set forth in the Exchange rules are not continuously maintained; (ii) if the Exchange files separate proposals under Section 19(b) of the 1940 Act and any of the statements regarding (a) the description of the Fund; (b) limitations on the Fund's portfolio holdings or reference assets; (c) dissemination and availability of the intraday indicative values; or (d) the applicability of the Exchange listing rules specified in such proposals are not continuously maintained; (iii) if, following the initial 12-month period beginning at the commencement of trading of the Fund, there are fewer than 50 beneficial owners of shares of the Fund; (iv) if the value of a Fund's underlying Index is no longer calculated or available or an interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred or the underlying Index is replaced with a new index, unless the new underlying index meets certain Exchange requirements; (v) if the intraday indicative value is no longer disseminated at least every 15 seconds during the Exchange's regular market session and the interruption to the dissemination persists past the trading day in which it occurred; or (vi) such other event shall occur or condition shall exist that, in the opinion of the Exchange, makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable. The Exchange will remove the shares from listing and trading upon termination of a Fund.

The Company reserves the right to adjust the price levels of its shares in the future to help maintain convenient trading ranges for investors. Any adjustments would be accomplished through stock splits or reverse stock splits, which would have no effect on the net assets of the Funds.

To provide additional information regarding the indicative value of shares, the Exchange or a market data vendor disseminates information every 15 seconds through the facilities of the Consolidated Tape Association, or other widely disseminated means, an updated "intraday indicative value" ("IIV") for a Fund as calculated by an information provider or market data vendor. The Company is not involved in or responsible for any aspect of the calculation or dissemination of the IIVs and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the IIVs.

**MANAGEMENT OF THE COMPANY**

The business and affairs of the Company are managed under the oversight of the Board, subject to the laws of the State of Maryland and the Company's Charter. The Directors are responsible for deciding matters of overall policy and overseeing the actions of the Company's service providers. The officers of the Company conduct and supervise the Company's daily business operations.

Directors who are not deemed to be "interested persons" of the Company (as defined in the 1940 Act) are referred to as "Independent Directors." Directors who are deemed to be "interested persons" of the Company are referred to as "Interested Directors." The Board is currently composed of five Independent Directors and two Interested Directors. The Board has selected Arnold M. Reichman, an Independent Director, to act as Chair. Mr. Reichman's duties include presiding at meetings of the Board and interfacing with management to address significant issues that may arise between regularly scheduled Board and Committee meetings. In the performance of his duties, Mr. Reichman will consult with the other Independent Directors and the Company's officers and legal counsel, as appropriate. The Chair may perform other functions as requested by the Board from time to time.

The Board meets as often as necessary to discharge its responsibilities. Currently, the Board conducts regular, in-person meetings at least four times a year, and holds special in-person or telephonic meetings as necessary to address specific issues that require attention prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. The Board also relies on professionals, such as the Company's independent registered public accounting firms and legal counsel, to assist the Directors in performing their oversight responsibilities.

The Board has established seven standing committees — Audit, Contract, Executive, Nominating and Governance, Product Development, Regulatory Oversight, and Valuation Committees. The Board may establish other committees, or nominate one or more Directors to examine particular issues related to the Board's oversight responsibilities, from time to time. Each Committee meets periodically to perform its delegated oversight functions and reports its findings and recommendations to the Board. For more information on the Committees, see the section entitled "Standing Committees."

The Board has also established an Advisory Board whose members are not "interested persons" of the Company (as defined in the 1940 Act) and who serve in a consultative capacity to the Board, providing non-binding advice to the Board regarding the oversight of the affairs of the Company (each, an "Advisory Board Member"). An Advisory Board Member participates in Board discussions and reviews Board materials relating to the Funds, but is not a Trustee, has no power to vote on any matter presented to the Board, and has no power to act on behalf of or otherwise bind the Board, the Directors or any committee of the Board. The Board appointed Eugene Podsiadlo as an Advisory Board Member effective October 1, 2025.

The Board has determined that the Company's leadership structure is appropriate because it allows the Board to effectively perform its oversight responsibilities.

The Valuation Committee convened four times during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025.

**Risk Oversight**

The Board performs its risk oversight function for the Company through a combination of (1) direct oversight by the Board as a whole and Board committees and (2) indirect oversight through the Company's investment advisers and other service providers, Company officers and the Company's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The Company is subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to investment risk, compliance risk, operational risk, reputational risk, credit risk and counterparty risk. Day-to-day risk management with respect to the Company is the responsibility of the Company's investment advisers or other service providers (depending on the nature of the risk) that carry out the Company's investment management and business affairs. Each of the investment advisers and the other service providers have their own independent interest in risk management and their policies and methods of risk management will depend on their functions and business models and may differ from the Company's and each other's in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls.

The Board provides risk oversight by receiving and reviewing on a regular basis reports from the Company's investment advisers or other service providers, receiving and approving compliance policies and procedures, periodic meetings with the Company's portfolio managers to review investment policies, strategies and risks, and meeting regularly with the Company's CCO to discuss compliance reports, findings and issues. The Board also relies on the Company's investment advisers and other service providers, with respect to the day-to-day activities of the Company, to create and maintain procedures and controls to minimize risk and the likelihood of adverse effects on the Company's business and reputation.

Board oversight of risk management is also provided by various Board Committees. For example, the Audit Committee meets with the Company's independent registered public accounting firms to ensure that the Company's respective audit scopes include risk-based considerations as to the Company's financial position and operations. The Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts risk oversight. The Board's oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Company's investments or activities.

After the initial two year-term, each Advisory Agreement may be continued in effect from year to year with the approval of (1) the Board or (2) vote of a majority (as defined by the 1940 Act) of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance must also be approved by a majority of the Independent Directors by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

The Adviser also provides such additional administrative services as the Company may require beyond those furnished by the Administrator and furnishes, at its own expense, such office space, facilities, equipment, clerical help, and other personnel and services as may reasonably be necessary in connection with the operations of the Company. In addition, the Adviser pays the salaries of officers of the Company who are employees of the Adviser and any fees and expenses of Directors of the Company who are also officers, directors, or employees of the Adviser or who are officers or employees of any company affiliated with the Adviser and bears the cost of telephone service, heat, light, power, and other utilities associated with the services it provides.

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreements, in consideration of the services provided by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee that is computed and paid as shown in the following table. From the unitary management fee, the Adviser pays most of the expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services. However, under the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser is not responsible for interest expenses, brokerage commissions and other trading expenses, taxes and other extraordinary costs such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business.

**Portfolio Manager Compensation**

Each portfolio manager's base salary is determined by the Adviser based on his level of responsibility at the Adviser. In determining the amount of the base salary, the Adviser considered compensation levels in the mutual fund industry and in the geographic area of the Adviser, as well as compensation levels generally at the Adviser and its affiliates. Portfolio managers also are eligible for an incentive bonus, which is subjective. The bonus takes into consideration a number of factors including, but not limited to, performance, client satisfaction and service, and the profitability of the Adviser's business.

**Material Conflicts of Interest**

Real, potential, or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or account. The portfolio managers manage or provide investment advisory services for other accounts with investment strategies similar to the Funds, including other pooled investment vehicles, separately managed accounts and proprietary accounts of its affiliates, and some of the Adviser's personnel, including the members of its investment committee, provide advisory services on behalf of the Adviser's affiliate, Motley Fool Wealth Management ("MFWM"), particularly for MFWM's separately managed accounts. Fees earned by the Adviser may vary among these accounts, and the Adviser's affiliates and/or the portfolio managers may personally invest in these accounts. These factors could create conflicts of interest because portfolio managers have potential incentives to favor certain accounts over others (including the Funds), with the result that other accounts could outperform the Funds.

A conflict may also exist if the portfolio managers identify a limited investment opportunity that may be appropriate for more than one account but the Funds are unable to take full advantage of that opportunity because of the need to allocate that opportunity among multiple accounts. In addition, the portfolio managers may execute transactions or make recommendations for another account, including proprietary accounts of affiliates, that may adversely affect the value of securities held by the Funds. However, the Adviser believes that these risks are mitigated by the fact that accounts with like investment strategies managed or advised by the portfolio managers are generally managed in a similar fashion and that the Adviser has a policy that seeks to allocate opportunities on a fair and equitable basis.

The Adviser and the portfolio managers may carry on investment activities for their own accounts and for those of their families and other clients, including those of MFWM, in which the Funds have no interest and thus may have certain additional conflicts of interest. In addition, the Adviser or MFWM may act as the investment adviser to accounts pursuing a range of traditional and alternative investment strategies. As a consequence of managing multiple investment products with varying investment programs, securities may be purchased or sold for some accounts but not others, and securities that are being sold for some accounts may be purchased for others. Factors that could lead to differences in trading decisions for various investment strategies include, among others, in the case of conflicting positions: differing portfolio manager analyses, different investment horizons, implementation of a particular hedging strategy, and differing desired market exposures. When making allocations, portfolio managers may also consider a number of factors, such as cash flow situations, tax considerations, different investment horizons, and different investment strategies. All portfolio managers are aware that trades may not be made in one client account for the purpose of benefiting another client or proprietary account. Investment decisions must be made only on the basis of the investment considerations relevant to the particular account for which a trade is being made.

The Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics and Best Execution Guidelines, among other policies and procedures, that seek to ensure that clients' accounts are not harmed by potential conflicts of interests. The Adviser also has procedures to assure that fair and appropriate allocation of investments purchased and sold is made among all clients and proprietary accounts, and MFWM and the Adviser have adopted procedures to assure that neither MFWM nor the Adviser (or their respective clients) can benefit from an informational or trading advantage over the other. Generally, trades for the Funds, MFWM separately managed accounts and proprietary accounts are executed through MFWM's trading desk in accordance with all these procedural safeguards, which includes (among other things) the Funds use of dedicated traders to separately place trades on behalf of the Funds. If a portfolio manager decides to trade a security for multiple clients (including the Funds), the portfolio manager will simultaneously send trade instructions to the traders dedicate to and responsible for trading their respect covered accounts.

Motley Fool Investment Analytics, LLC ("MFIA" or the "Index Provider"), an affiliate of the Adviser and The Motley Fool, LLC ("TMF"), develops and manages rules-based indexes, quantitative research, and related analytics for the Adviser's passively managed funds. MFIA serves as the Index Provider for the Motley Fool Innovative Growth Fund, Motley Fool Value Fund, Motley Fool Momentum Fund (individually a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds").

MFIA makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the shareholders of the Funds or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Funds particularly, or regarding the ability of the Funds to track their respective indices. MFIA has no obligation to take the needs of the Funds or the Funds' shareholders into consideration in determining, composing, or calculating the indices. MFIA does not make any express or implied warranties, and expressly disclaims all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or use with respect to the indices or any data included therein. MFIA does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or performance of any index or the data included therein and shall have no liability in connection with any index calculation, errors, omissions, or interruptions of any index or data included therein. Without limiting any of the foregoing, in no event shall MFIA have any liability for any special, punitive, direct, indirect, or consequential damages (including lost profits) arising out of matters relating to the use of the indices, even if notified of the possibility of such damages.

The indices tracked by the Funds are proprietary, rules-based indices designed to track the performance of U.S. companies that have been recommended by TMF analysts and newsletters and meet certain liquidity and market capitalization requirements.

The Adviser, the Index Provider, and TMF are affiliated entities under common control. This structure presents inherent conflicts of interest. TMF provides a broad range of information, commentary, and investment recommendations via its newsletters and services. The diverse opinions of TMF's staff may result in recommendations regarding specific securities that differ from, or are contradictory to, the rules-based methodology used by the Index Provider to construct the indices tracked by the Funds.

Consequently, TMF may issue negative recommendations or sell ratings on securities currently held by a Fund, or positive recommendations on securities not included in a Fund, based on the specific timing and rules of the Index methodology. Furthermore, TMF's dissemination of opinions and recommendations may affect the market price of securities held by a Fund or considered for purchase or sale by a Fund. To the extent TMF's recommendations drive the price of a security up or down, such recommendations could theoretically benefit or harm the performance of the Funds or the execution prices obtained by the Adviser.

To manage these conflicts, the Funds, the Adviser, the Index Provider, and TMF (collectively, the "Affiliates") have adopted policies and procedures designed to prevent the misuse of material non-public information. The implementation of "firewalls" effectively segregating the personnel and operations of the Adviser and Index Provider from TMF. This includes physical segregation of offices, controls on physical access, and strict restrictions on electronic access to proprietary information. Policies prohibit TMF's personnel from obtaining non-public information regarding the Funds' holdings, the Adviser's trading strategies, or the Index Provider's rebalancing data prior to public dissemination. Conversely, personnel of the Adviser and Index Provider are prohibited from using pre-publication information from the TMF to front-run recommendations. The procedures will require monitoring by the Adviser, Index Provider, and TMF through the review of transactions, rebalances, and publications, with the goal of identifying possible use of information by the Adviser, Index Provider, or TMF or their respective personnel in violation of applicable policies. Furthermore, MFIA has contracted with a third-party, independent calculation agent to calculate and maintain the daily values of the indices, further reducing the risk of manipulation. Despite these controls, conflicts may nonetheless be deemed to exist. The Adviser's investment decisions are made based on its judgment and the application of the Index methodology, consistent with the best interests of each Fund, and are not solely based on the analysis published by the TMF.

*Affiliated Index Provider and Shared Personnel*

The Adviser and Index Provider are affiliates and share personnel. Certain portfolio managers serve dual roles as the managers of a Fund and its underlying index. The Adviser and Index Provider have determined that the risk of manipulation of the Underlying Index is mitigated by the nature of the Index methodology. The Underlying Indexes are reconstituted based on data derived active recommendations of newsletters published by TMF or are among the 150 highest-rated U.S. companies in TMF's analyst opinion database, subject to universe continuity rules. The Portfolio Managers have no control, influence, or advance access to this information ("Reference Publications").

Therefore, the portfolio managers do not possess "Material Non-Public Information" regarding the content of the Reference Publications before they are published. However, once the Reference Publications are published, the portfolio managers perform the calculations per each respective index methodology to update the indexes. During the window between the publication and the official reconstitution of the indexed, the portfolio managers possess knowledge of the upcoming Index changes. The Adviser has established compliance procedures to ensure that the portfolio managers strictly adhere to the mathematical methodology of each index and do not deviate from the signals provided by the Reference Publications for the benefit of a Fund.

**Ownership of Fund Shares by the Portfolio Managers**

The portfolio managers do not own any shares of the Funds as no shares of the Funds were outstanding prior to the date of this SAI.

**UNDERWRITER**

The Company has entered into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Quasar Distributors, LLC (the "Distributor"), 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, Maine 04101, pursuant to which the Distributor acts as each Fund's principal underwriter and distributes shares. Shares are continuously offered for sale by the Distributor only in Creation Units. Each Creation Unit is made up of at least 10,000 shares. The Distributor will not distribute Shares in amounts less than a Creation Unit.

Under the Distribution Agreement, the Distributor, as agent for the Company, will receive orders for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units, provided that any subscriptions and orders will not be binding on the Company until accepted by the Company. The Distributor will deliver prospectuses and, upon request, Statements of Additional Information to persons purchasing Creation Units and will maintain records of orders placed with it. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Distributor may also enter into agreements with securities dealers ("Soliciting Dealers") who will solicit purchases of Creation Units of shares. Such Soliciting Dealers may also be Authorized Participants (as discussed in "Procedures for Creation of Creation Units" below) or DTC Participants.

The Distribution Agreement will continue in effect only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities and, in either case, by a majority of the Independent Directors. The Distribution Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Company, on behalf of the Fund, on 60 days' written notice when authorized either by a majority vote of the Fund's shareholders or by vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not "interested persons" (as defined under the 1940 Act) of the Company, or by the Distributor on 60 days' written notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment," as defined in the 1940 Act.

**PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS**

**Purchase and Issuance of Creation Units**

The Company issues and sells shares of the Funds only: (i) in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without a sales load (but subject to transaction fees), at their NAV next determined after receipt of an order, on any Business Day, in proper form pursuant to the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement ("Participant Agreement"); or (ii) pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Service (defined below). The NAV of each Fund's shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The Funds will not issue fractional Creation Units. A Business Day is any day on which the Exchange is open for business.

FUND DEPOSIT. The consideration for purchase of a Creation Unit of the Funds generally consists of the in kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities (the "Deposit Securities") per each Creation Unit, constituting a substantial replication, or a portfolio sampling representation, of the securities included in each Fund's Index and the Cash Component (defined below), computed as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of a "cash in lieu" amount ("Deposit Cash") to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security. When accepting purchases of Creation Units for all or a portion of Deposit Cash, each Fund may incur additional costs associated with the acquisition of Deposit Securities that would otherwise be provided by an in-kind purchaser. These additional costs associated with the acquisition of Deposit Securities ("Non-Standard Charges") may be recoverable from the purchaser of creation units.

Together, the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, and the Cash Component constitute the "Fund Deposit," which represents the minimum initial and subsequent investment amount for a Creation Unit of each Fund. The "Cash Component" is an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the shares (per Creation Unit) and the market value of the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable. If the Cash Component is a positive number (*i.e.*, the NAV per Creation Unit exceeds the market value of the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable), the Cash Component will be such positive amount. If the Cash Component is a negative number (*i.e.*, the NAV per Creation Unit is less than the market value of the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable), the Cash Component shall be such negative amount and the creator will be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the Cash Component. The Cash Component serves the function of compensating for any differences between the NAV per Creation Unit and the market value of the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable. Computation of the Cash Component excludes any stamp duty or other similar fees and expenses payable upon transfer of beneficial ownership of the Deposit Securities, if applicable, which will be the sole responsibility of the Authorized Participant (as defined below).

Each Fund, through the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC"), makes available on each Business Day, immediately prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern time), the list of the names and the required number of shares of each Deposit Security or the required amount of Deposit Cash, as applicable, to be included in the current Fund Deposit (based on information at the end of the previous Business Day) for a Fund. Such Fund Deposit is subject to any applicable adjustments as described below, in order to effect purchases of Creation Units of a Fund until such time as the next-announced composition of the Deposit Securities or the required amount of Deposit Cash, as applicable, is made available.

The identity and number of shares of the Deposit Securities or the amount of Deposit Cash, as applicable, required for a Fund Deposit for a Fund changes as rebalancing adjustments and corporate action events are reflected from time to time by the Adviser with a view to the investment objectives of a Fund. The composition of the Deposit Securities for the Funds may also change in response to adjustments to the weighting or composition of the component securities of the respective Fund's Index.

The Company reserves the right to permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash (*i.e.,* a "cash in lieu" amount) to replace any Deposit Security, which will be added to the Deposit Cash, if applicable, and the Cash Component, including, without limitation, in situations where the Deposit Security: (i) may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery; (ii) may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC for corporate securities and municipal securities; (iii) may not be eligible for trading by an Authorized Participant (as defined below) or the investor for which it is acting; (iv) would be restricted under the securities laws or where the delivery of the Deposit Security to the Authorized Participant would result in the disposition of the Deposit Security by the Authorized Participant becoming restricted under the securities laws; or (v) in certain other situations (collectively, "custom orders"). The Company also reserves the right to include or remove Deposit Securities from the basket for the Funds in anticipation of the respective Fund's Index rebalancing changes. The adjustments described above will reflect changes, known to the Adviser on the date of announcement to be in effect by the time of delivery of the Fund Deposit, in the composition of the respective Fund's Index or resulting from certain corporate actions.

CASH PURCHASE METHOD. The Company may at its discretion permit full or partial cash purchases of Creation Units of the Funds in instances permitted by the exemptive relief the Adviser is relying on in offering each Fund. When full or partial cash purchases of Creation Units are available or specified for the Funds, they will be effected in essentially the same manner as in-kind purchases thereof. In the case of a full or partial cash purchase, the Authorized Participant must pay the cash equivalent of the Deposit Securities it would otherwise be required to provide through an in-kind purchase, plus the same Cash Component required to be paid by an in-kind purchaser together with a Creation Transaction Fee and Non-Standard Charges, as may be applicable.

PROCEDURES FOR PURCHASE OF CREATION UNITS. To be eligible to place orders with the Distributor to purchase a Creation Unit of a Fund, an entity must be (i) a "Participating Party", *i.e.*, a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (the "Clearing Process"), a clearing agency that is registered with the SEC; or (ii) a DTC Participant. In addition, each Participating Party or DTC Participant (each, an "Authorized Participant" or "AP") must execute a Participant Agreement that has been agreed to by the Distributor, and that has been accepted by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services ("Transfer Agent" or "Fund Services") and the Company, with respect to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units. Each AP will agree, pursuant to the terms of a Participant Agreement, on behalf of itself or any investor on whose behalf it will act, to certain conditions, including that it will pay to the Company an amount of cash sufficient to pay the Cash Component together with the Creation Transaction Fee (defined below) and any other applicable fees and taxes. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the Transaction Fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Company in connection with the purchase of a Creation Unit, which the Transaction Fee is designed to cover.

All orders to purchase shares directly from a Fund must be placed for one or more Creation Units in the manner set forth in the Participant Agreement (the "Cut-Off Time"). The date on which an order to purchase Creation Units (or an order to redeem Creation Units, as set forth below) is received and accepted is referred to as the "Order Placement Date."

An AP may require an investor to make certain representations or enter into agreements with respect to the order (e.g., to provide for payments of cash, when required). Investors should be aware that their particular broker may not have executed a Participant Agreement and that, therefore, orders to purchase shares directly from a Fund in Creation Units have to be placed by the investor's broker through an AP that has executed a Participant Agreement. In such cases there may be additional charges to such investor. At any given time, there may be only a limited number of broker-dealers that have executed a Participant Agreement and only a small number of such APs may have international capabilities.

On days when the Exchange closes earlier than normal, a Fund may require orders to create Creation Units to be placed earlier in the day. In addition, if a market or markets on which a Fund's investments are primarily traded is closed on any day, a Fund will not accept orders on such day. Orders must be transmitted by an AP by telephone or other transmission method acceptable to the Distributor pursuant to procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement and in accordance with the AP Handbook. With respect to a Fund, the Distributor will notify the Custodian of such order. The Custodian will then provide such information to the appropriate local sub-custodian(s). Those placing orders through an AP should allow sufficient time to permit proper submission of the purchase order to the Distributor by the Cut-Off Time on the Business Day on which the order is placed. Economic or market disruptions or changes, or telephone or other communication failure may impede the ability to reach the Distributor or an AP.

Fund Deposits must be delivered by an AP through the Federal Reserve System (for cash) or through DTC (for corporate securities), through a subcustody agent (for foreign securities) and/or through such other arrangements allowed by the Company or its agents. With respect to foreign Deposit Securities, the Custodian will cause the subcustodian of such Fund to maintain an account into which the AP will deliver, on behalf of itself or the party on whose behalf it is acting, such Deposit Securities (or Deposit Cash for all or a part of such securities, as permitted or required), with any appropriate adjustments as advised by the Company. Foreign Deposit Securities must be delivered to an account maintained at the applicable local subcustodian. The Fund Deposit transfer must be ordered by the AP in a timely fashion so as to ensure the delivery of the requisite number of Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, to the account of a Fund or its agents by no later than the Settlement Date. All questions as to the number of Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash to be delivered, as applicable, and the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) for the deposit of any tendered securities or cash, as applicable, will be determined by the Company, whose determination will be final and binding. The amount of cash represented by the Cash Component must be transferred directly to the Custodian through the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer system in a timely manner so as to be received by the Custodian no later than the Settlement Date. If the Cash Component and the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, are not received in a timely manner by the Settlement Date, the creation order may be cancelled. Upon written notice to the Distributor, such canceled order may be resubmitted the following Business Day using the Fund Deposit as newly constituted to reflect the then current NAV of the Fund.

The order will be deemed to be received on the Business Day on which the order is placed provided that the order is placed in proper form prior to the Cut-Off Time and the federal funds in the appropriate amount are deposited by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, with the Custodian on the Settlement Date. If the order is not placed in proper form as required, or federal funds in the appropriate amount are not received by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time on the Settlement Date, then the order may be deemed to be rejected and the AP will be liable to the Fund for losses, if any, resulting therefrom. A creation request is considered to be in "proper form" if all procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement, AP Handbook and this SAI are properly followed.

ISSUANCE OF A CREATION UNIT. Except as provided herein, Creation Units will not be issued until the transfer of good title to the Company of the Deposit Securities or payment of Deposit Cash, as applicable, and the payment of the Cash Component have been completed. When the subcustodian has confirmed to the Custodian that the required Deposit Securities (or the cash value thereof) have been delivered to the account of the relevant subcustodian or subcustodians, the Distributor and the Adviser will be notified of such delivery, and the Company will issue and cause the delivery of the Creation Units. The delivery of Creation Units so created generally will occur no later than the third Business Day following the day on which the purchase order is deemed received by the Distributor. However, each Fund reserves the right to settle Creation Unit transactions on a basis other than the third Business Day following the day on which the purchase order is deemed received by the Distributor in order to accommodate foreign market holiday schedules, to account for different treatment among foreign and U.S. markets of dividend record dates and ex-dividend dates (that is the last day the holder of a security can sell the security and still receive dividends payable on the security), and in certain other circumstances. The AP will be liable to a Fund for losses, if any, resulting from unsettled orders.

Creation Units may be purchased in advance of receipt by the Company of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities as described below. In these circumstances, the initial deposit will have a value greater than the NAV of the shares on the date the order is placed in proper form since in addition to available Deposit Securities, cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Component, plus (ii) an additional amount of cash equal to a percentage of the market value as set forth in the Participant Agreement, of the undelivered Deposit Securities (the "Additional Cash Deposit"), which will be maintained in a separate non-interest bearing collateral account. An additional amount of cash will be required to be deposited with the Company, pending delivery of the missing Deposit Securities to the extent necessary to maintain the Additional Cash Deposit with the Company in an amount at least equal to the applicable percentage, as set forth in the Participant Agreement, of the daily marked to market value of the missing Deposit Securities. The Participant Agreement will permit the Company to buy the missing Deposit Securities at any time. APs will be liable to the Company for the costs incurred by the Company in connection with any such purchases. These costs will be deemed to include the amount by which the actual purchase price of the Deposit Securities exceeds the market value of such Deposit Securities on the day the purchase order was deemed received by the Distributor plus the brokerage and related transaction costs associated with such purchases. The Company will return any unused portion of the Additional Cash Deposit once all of the missing Deposit Securities have been properly received by the Custodian or purchased by the Company and deposited into the Company. In addition, a Transaction Fee as set forth below under "Creation Transaction Fee" will be charged in all cases, unless otherwise advised by the Funds, and Non- Standard Charges may also apply. The delivery of Creation Units so created generally will occur no later than the Settlement Date.

ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS OF CREATION UNITS. The Company reserves the right to reject an order for Creation Units transmitted to it by the Distributor in respect of a Fund including, without limitation, if (a) the order is not in proper form; (b) the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, delivered by the Participant are not as disseminated through the facilities of the NSCC for that date by the Custodian; (c) the investor(s), upon obtaining the shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding shares of the Fund; (d) the acceptance of the Fund Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; or (e) the acceptance or receipt of the order for a Creation Unit would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, be unlawful.

CREATION TRANSACTION FEE. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units, and investors will be required to pay a Creation Transaction Fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. A Fund may adjust the creation transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a Fund may impose a Non-Standard Charge of up to 2% of the value of the creation transactions for cash creations, non- standard orders, or partial cash purchases for the Fund. A Fund may adjust the Non-Standard Charge from time to time based upon actual experience. Investors who use the services of an AP, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services, which may include an amount for the Creation Transaction Fee and Non-Standard Charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Deposit Securities to the account of the Company. The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the Transaction Fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Company in connection with the purchase of a Creation Unit, which the Transaction Fee is designed to cover. The standard Creation Transaction Fee for each Fund is $300.

RISKS OF PURCHASING CREATION UNITS. There are certain legal risks unique to investors purchasing Creation Units directly from a Fund. Because each Fund's shares may be issued on an ongoing basis, a "distribution" of shares could be occurring at any time. Certain activities that a shareholder performs as a dealer could, depending on the circumstances, result in the shareholder being deemed a participant in the distribution in a manner that could render the shareholder a statutory underwriter and subject to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. For example, a shareholder could be deemed a statutory underwriter if it purchases Creation Units from a Fund, breaks them down into the constituent shares, and sells those shares directly to customers, or if a shareholder chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary-market demand for shares. Whether a person is an underwriter depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person's activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could cause a shareholder to be deemed an underwriter.

Dealers who are not "underwriters" but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary-market transactions), and thus dealing with each Fund's shares as part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act.

**Redemption of Creation Units**

Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at their NAV next determined after receipt of a redemption request in proper form by a Fund through the Transfer Agent and only on a Business Day. EXCEPT UPON LIQUIDATION OF A FUND, THE COMPANY WILL NOT REDEEM SHARES IN AMOUNTS LESS THAN CREATION UNITS. Investors must accumulate enough shares in the secondary market to constitute a Creation Unit in order to have such shares redeemed by the Company. There can be no assurance, however, that there will be sufficient liquidity in the public trading market at any time to permit assembly of a Creation Unit. Investors should expect to incur brokerage and other costs in connection with assembling a sufficient number of shares to constitute a redeemable Creation Unit.

With respect to each Fund, the Custodian, through the NSCC, makes available immediately prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern time) on each Business Day, the list of the names and share quantities of the Fund's portfolio securities that will be applicable (subject to possible amendment or correction) to redemption requests received in proper form (as defined below) on that day ("Fund Securities"). Fund Securities received on redemption may not be identical to Deposit Securities.

Redemption proceeds for a Creation Unit are paid either in-kind or in cash, or combination thereof, as determined by the Company. With respect to in-kind redemptions of a Fund, redemption proceeds for a Creation Unit will consist of Fund Securities -- as announced by the Custodian on the Business Day of the request for redemption received in proper form -- plus cash in an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the shares being redeemed, as next determined after a receipt of a request in proper form, and the value of the Fund Securities (the "Cash Redemption Amount"), less any fixed redemption transaction fee as set forth below and any Non-Standard Charges. If the Fund Securities have a value greater than the NAV of the shares, a compensating cash payment equal to the differential is required to be made by or through an AP by the redeeming shareholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Company's discretion, an AP may receive the corresponding cash value of the securities in lieu of the in-kind securities value representing one or more Fund Securities.

CASH REDEMPTION METHOD. Although the Company does not ordinarily permit full or partial cash redemptions of Creation Units of the Funds, when full or partial cash redemptions of Creation Units are available or specified for a Fund, they will be effected in essentially the same manner as in-kind redemptions thereof. In the case of full or partial cash redemptions, the AP will receive the cash equivalent of the Fund Securities it would otherwise receive through an in-kind redemption, plus the same Cash Amount to be paid to an in-kind redeemer.

REDEMPTION TRANSACTION FEES. A redemption transaction fee may be imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the redemption of Creation Units, and APs will be required to pay a Redemption Transaction Fee regardless of the number of Creation Units created in the transaction. The redemption transaction fee is the same no matter how many Creation Units are being redeemed pursuant to any one redemption request. A Fund may adjust the redemption transaction fee from time to time based upon actual experience. In addition, a Fund may impose a Non-Standard Charge of up to 2% of the value of a redemption transaction for cash redemptions, non-standard orders, or partial cash redemptions for the Fund. Investors who use the services of an AP, broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services which may include an amount for the Redemption Transaction Fees and Non-Standard Charges. Investors are responsible for the costs of transferring the securities constituting the Fund Securities to the account of the Company. The Non-Standard Charges are payable to the Fund as it incurs costs in connection with the redemption of Creation Units, the receipt of Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount and other transactions costs. The standard Redemption Transaction Fee for each Fund is $300.

PROCEDURES FOR REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS. Orders to redeem Creation Units must be submitted in proper form to the Transfer Agent prior to the time as set forth in the Participant Agreement. A redemption request is considered to be in "proper form" if (i) an AP has transferred or caused to be transferred to the Company's Transfer Agent the Creation Unit(s) being redeemed through the book- entry system of DTC so as to be effective by the time as set forth in the Participant Agreement and (ii) a request in form satisfactory to the Company is received by the Transfer Agent from the AP on behalf of itself or another redeeming investor within the time periods specified in the Participant Agreement. If the Transfer Agent does not receive the investor's shares through DTC's facilities by the times and pursuant to the other terms and conditions set forth in the Participant Agreement, the redemption request will be rejected.

The AP must transmit the request for redemption, in the form required by the Company, to the Transfer Agent in accordance with procedures set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement. Investors should be aware that their particular broker may not have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement, and that, therefore, requests to redeem Creation Units may have to be placed by the investor's broker through an AP which has executed an Authorized Participant Agreement. Investors making a redemption request should be aware that such request must be in the form specified by such AP. Investors making a request to redeem Creation Units should allow sufficient time to permit proper submission of the request by an AP and transfer of the shares to the Company's Transfer Agent; such investors should allow for the additional time that may be required to effect redemptions through their banks, brokers or other financial intermediaries if such intermediaries are not APs.

In connection with taking delivery of shares of Fund Securities upon redemption of Creation Units, a redeeming shareholder or AP acting on behalf of such Shareholder must maintain appropriate custody arrangements with a qualified broker-dealer, bank or other custody providers in each jurisdiction in which any of the Fund Securities are customarily traded, to which account such Fund Securities will be delivered. Deliveries of redemption proceeds generally will be made within three business days of the trade date.

ADDITIONAL REDEMPTION PROCEDURES. In connection with taking delivery of shares of Fund Securities upon redemption of Creation Units, the AP must maintain appropriate custody arrangements with a qualified broker-dealer, bank or other custody providers in each jurisdiction in which any of the Fund Securities are customarily traded, to which account such Fund Securities will be delivered. Deliveries of redemption proceeds generally will be made within three Business Days of the trade date. However, due to the schedule of holidays in certain countries, the different treatment among foreign and U.S. markets of dividend record dates and dividend ex-dates (that is the last date the holder of a security can sell the security and still receive dividends payable on the security sold), and in certain other circumstances, the delivery of in-kind redemption proceeds may take longer than three Business Days after the day on which the redemption request is received in proper form. If neither the redeeming Shareholder nor the AP acting on behalf of such redeeming Shareholder has appropriate arrangements to take delivery of the Fund Securities in the applicable foreign jurisdiction and it is not possible to make other such arrangements, or if it is not possible to effect deliveries of the Fund Securities in such jurisdiction, the Company may, in its discretion, exercise its option to redeem such shares in cash, and the redeeming shareholder will be required to receive its redemption proceeds in cash.

If it is not possible to make other such arrangements, or it is not possible to effect deliveries of the Fund Securities, the Company may in its discretion exercise its option to redeem such shares in cash, and the redeeming investor will be required to receive its redemption proceeds in cash. In addition, an investor may request a redemption in cash that each Fund may, in its sole discretion, permit. In either case, the investor will receive a cash payment equal to the NAV of its shares based on the NAV of shares of the relevant Fund next determined after the redemption request is received in proper form (minus a redemption transaction fee and additional charge for requested cash redemptions specified above, to offset the Company's brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the disposition of Fund Securities). The Funds may also, in their sole discretion, upon request of a shareholder, provide such redeemer a portfolio of securities that differs from the exact composition of the Fund Securities but does not differ in NAV.

Redemptions of shares for Fund Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the Fund (whether or not it otherwise permits cash redemptions) reserves the right to redeem Creation Units for cash to the extent that the Company could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the Fund Securities under such laws. An AP or an investor for which it is acting subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security included in the Fund Securities applicable to the redemption of Creation Units may be paid an equivalent amount of cash. The AP may request the redeeming investor of the shares to complete an order form or to enter into agreements with respect to such matters as compensating cash payment. Further, an AP that is not a "qualified institutional buyer," ("QIB") as such term is defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, will not be able to receive Fund Securities that are restricted securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A. An AP may be required by the Company to provide a written confirmation with respect to QIB status in order to receive Fund Securities.

Because the portfolio securities of the Funds may trade on the relevant exchange(s) on days that the Exchange is closed or are otherwise not Business Days for such Fund, shareholders may not be able to redeem their shares of a Fund, or to purchase or sell shares of such Fund on the Exchange, on days when the NAV of such Fund could be significantly affecting by events in the relevant foreign markets.

The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed with respect to each Fund (1) for any period during which the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) for any period during which trading on the Exchange is suspended or restricted; (3) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the shares of the Fund or determination of the NAV of the shares is not reasonably practicable; or (4) in such other circumstance as is permitted by the SEC.

**PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION**

The Company has adopted, on behalf of each Fund, a policy relating to the selective disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings by the Adviser, Board, officers, or third party service providers, in accordance with regulations that seek to ensure that disclosure of information about portfolio holdings is in the best interest of the Fund's shareholders. The policies relating to the disclosure of a Fund's portfolio holdings are designed to allow disclosure of portfolio holdings information where necessary to each Fund's operation without compromising the integrity or performance of the Fund. It is the policy of the Company that disclosure of a Fund's portfolio holdings to a select person or persons prior to the release of such holdings to the public ("selective disclosure") is prohibited, unless there are legitimate business purposes for selective disclosure.

The Company discloses portfolio holdings information as required in regulatory filings and shareholder reports, discloses portfolio holdings information as required by federal and state securities laws and may disclose portfolio holdings information in response to requests by governmental authorities. As required by the federal securities laws, including the 1940 Act, the Company will disclose each Fund's portfolio holdings in applicable regulatory filings, including shareholder reports, reports on Form N-CSR, Form N-CEN, and Form N-PORT, or such other filings, reports or disclosure documents as the applicable regulatory authorities may require.

Each Fund's entire portfolio holdings are publicly disseminated each business day and may be available through financial reporting and news services including publicly available internet websites.

The Company may distribute or authorize the distribution of information about a Fund's portfolio holdings that is not publicly available to its third-party service providers, which include U.S. Bank, N.A., the custodian; Fund Services, the administrator, accounting agent and transfer agent; Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm; Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, legal counsel; FilePoint, the financial printer; the Funds' proxy voting service(s); and the Company's liquidity classification agent. These service providers are required to keep such information confidential, and are prohibited from trading based on the information or otherwise using the information except as necessary in providing services to a Fund. Such holdings are released on conditions of confidentiality, which include appropriate trading prohibitions. "Conditions of confidentiality" include confidentiality terms included in written agreements, implied by the nature of the relationship (e.g. attorney-client relationship), or required by fiduciary or regulatory principles (e.g., custody services provided by financial institutions). Portfolio holdings may also be provided earlier to shareholders and their agents who receive redemptions in kind that reflect a pro rata allocation of all securities held in a Fund's portfolio.

Portfolio holdings may also be disclosed, upon authorization by a designated officer of the Adviser, to (i) certain independent reporting agencies recognized by the SEC as acceptable agencies for the reporting of industry statistical information and, (ii) financial consultants to assist them in determining the suitability of the Fund as an investment for their clients, in each case in accordance with the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws and the Company's and Adviser's fiduciary duties to Fund shareholders. Disclosures to financial consultants are also subject to a confidentiality agreement and/or trading restrictions. The foregoing disclosures are made pursuant to the Company's policy on selective disclosure of portfolio holdings. The Board or a committee thereof may, in limited circumstances, permit other selective disclosure of portfolio holdings subject to a confidentiality agreement and/or trading restrictions.

The Adviser reserves the right to refuse to fulfill any request for portfolio holdings information from a shareholder or non-shareholder if it believes that providing such information will be contrary to the best interests of a Fund.

The Board provides ongoing oversight of the Company's policies and procedures and compliance with such policies and procedures. As part of this oversight function, the Board receives from the Company's CCO as necessary, reports on compliance with these policies and procedures. In addition, the Board receives an annual assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the policies and procedures with respect to a Fund, and any changes thereto, and an annual review of the operation of the policies and procedures. Any violation of the policy set forth above as well as any corrective action undertaken to address such violation must be reported by the Adviser, director, officer or third party service provider to the Company's CCO, who will determine whether the violation should be reported immediately to the Board or at its next quarterly Board meeting.

**DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE**

The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the sections in the Funds' Prospectus titled "HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES."

NAV is determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) each day the NYSE is open, except that no computation need be made on a day on which no orders to purchase or redeem shares have been received. The NYSE currently observes the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day (third Monday in January), Presidents Day (third Monday in February), Good Friday (Friday before Easter), Memorial Day (last Monday in May), Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas Day.

NAV per share is computed by dividing the value of each Fund's net assets (*i.e.*, the value of its assets less its liabilities) by the total number of the Fund's shares outstanding. In computing NAV, securities are valued at market value as of the close of trading on each business day when the NYSE is open. Securities, other than stock options, listed on the NYSE or other exchanges are valued on the basis of the last reported sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded. However, if the last sale price on the NYSE is different from the last sale price on any other exchange, the NYSE price will be used. If there are no sales on that day, then the securities are valued at the bid price on the NYSE or other primary exchange for that day. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market are valued on the basis of the last sales price as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations ("NASDAQ"). If there are no sales on that day, then the securities are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices as reported by NASDAQ. Stock options and stock index options traded on national securities exchanges or on NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked prices for such options. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and other assets are valued at fair value by the Adviser, as the Funds' valuation designee, as determined pursuant to procedures adopted in good faith by the Board. Debt securities that mature in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost (unless the Board determines that this method does not represent fair value), if their original maturity was 60 days or less or by amortizing the value as of the 61st day before maturity, if their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. A pricing service may be used to determine the fair value of securities held by the Funds. Any such service might value the investments based on methods that include consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The service may also employ electronic data-processing techniques, a matrix system, or both to determine valuation. The Board will review and monitor the methods such services use to assure itself that securities are valued at their fair values.

The values of securities held by each Fund and other assets used in computing NAV are determined as of the time at which trading in such securities is completed each day. That time, in the case of foreign securities, generally occurs at various times before the close of the NYSE. Trading in securities listed on foreign securities exchanges will be valued at the last sale or, if no sales are reported, at the bid price as of the close of the exchange, subject to possible adjustment as described in the Prospectus. Foreign currency exchange rates are also generally determined before the close of the NYSE. On occasion, the values of such securities and exchange rates may be affected by events occurring between the time as of which determinations of such values or exchange rates are made and the close of the NYSE. When such events materially affect the value of securities held by a Fund or its liabilities, such securities and liabilities will be valued at fair value in accordance with procedures adopted in good faith by the Board. The values of any assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollars based on exchange rates supplied by a quotation service.

**DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES** 

The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the section in the Funds' Prospectus titled "DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES." In addition, the following is only a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that generally affect the Funds and their shareholders. No attempt is made to present a comprehensive explanation of the tax treatment of a Fund or its shareholders, and the discussion here and in the Prospectus is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax situations, including their state, local, and foreign tax liabilities.

It is the policy of the Company each fiscal year to distribute substantially all of each Fund's net investment income (*i.e.,* generally, the income that it earns from dividends and interest on its investments, and any short-term capital gains, net of Fund expenses) and net capital gains (i.e., the excess of the Fund's net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses), if any, to its shareholders.

**Dividend Reinvestment Service** 

The Funds will not make the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service available for use by beneficial owners for reinvestment of their cash proceeds, but certain individual broker-dealers may make available the DTC book-entry Dividend Reinvestment Service for use by beneficial owners of the Funds through DTC Participants for reinvestment of their dividend distributions. Investors should contact their brokers to ascertain the availability and description of these services. Beneficial owners should be aware that each broker may require investors to adhere to specific procedures and timetables in order to participate in the dividend reinvestment service and investors should ascertain from their brokers such necessary details. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and realized gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares issued by a Fund at NAV. Distributions reinvested in additional shares of each Fund will nevertheless be taxable to beneficial owners acquiring such additional shares to the same extent as if such distributions had been received in cash.

**Taxes – General** 

The discussions of the federal tax consequences in the Prospectus and this SAI are based on the Code and the regulations issued under it, and court decisions and administrative interpretations, as in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this SAI, respectively. Future legislative or administrative changes or court decisions may significantly alter the statements included herein, and any such changes or decisions may be retroactive. Each Fund has elected to be, and intends to qualify each year for treatment as, a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, of the Code. As such, each Fund generally will be exempt from federal income tax on its net investment income and realized capital gains that it distributes to shareholders. To qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company, each Fund must meet three important tests each year.

First, each Fund must derive with respect to each taxable year at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies, other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities, or currencies, or net income derived from interests in qualified publicly traded partnerships.

Second, generally, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, at least 50% of the value of each Fund's assets must consist of cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers (as to which such Fund has not invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of such issuer and as to which such Fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer), and no more than 25% of the value of each Fund's total assets may be invested in the securities (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies) of (1) any one issuer, (2) two or more issuers that such Fund controls and that are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or (3) one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships.

Third, each Fund must distribute an amount equal to at least the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income (net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) before taking into account any deduction for dividends paid, and 90% of its tax-exempt income, if any, for the year.

Each Fund intends to comply with these requirements. If a Fund were to fail to make sufficient distributions, it could be liable for corporate income tax (which may include interest or penalties) and for excise tax (as discussed below) in respect of the shortfall or, if the shortfall is large enough and such Fund does not satisfy the 90% distribution requirement described above, such Fund could be disqualified as a regulated investment company. If for any taxable year a Fund were not to qualify as a regulated investment company, all its taxable income would be subject to tax at regular corporate rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders. In that event, taxable shareholders would recognize dividend income on distributions, including distributions of capital gains, to the extent of a Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits, and corporate shareholders could be eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

The Code imposes a nondeductible 4% excise tax on regulated investment companies that fail to distribute each year an amount equal to specified percentages of their ordinary taxable income and capital gain net income (excess of capital gains over capital losses). Each Fund intends to make sufficient distributions or deemed distributions each year to avoid liability for this excise tax.

Each Fund may elect to retain its net capital gain or a portion thereof for investment and be taxed at corporate rates on the amount retained. In such case, a Fund may designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a written notice to its shareholders, who will be treated as if each received a distribution of its pro rata share of such gain, with the result that each shareholder will (i) be required to report its pro rata share of such gain on its tax return as long-term capital gain, (ii) receive a refundable tax credit for its pro rata share of tax paid by such Fund on the gain and (iii) increase the tax basis for its shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

Each Fund's hedging and derivatives transactions are subject to special and complex U.S. federal income tax provisions that may, among other things, (i) disallow, suspend or otherwise limit the allowance of certain losses or deductions, (ii) convert lower-taxed long-term capital gain into higher-taxed short-term capital gain or ordinary income, (iii) convert an ordinary loss or a deduction into a capital loss (the deductibility of which is more limited), (iv) cause a Fund to recognize income or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash, (v) adversely affect the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock or securities is deemed to occur, (vi) adversely alter the intended characterization of certain complex financial transactions and (vii) produce income that will not be treated as qualifying income for purposes of the 90% gross income test described above. These rules could therefore affect the character, amount and timing of distributions to shareholders and a Fund's status as a regulated investment company. Each Fund will monitor its transactions and may make certain tax elections in order to mitigate the effect of these provisions.

Each Fund's investment in non-U.S. securities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes. In that case, such Fund's yield on those securities would be decreased. Shareholders will generally not be entitled to claim a credit or deduction with respect to any non-U.S. taxes paid by a Fund.

**Loss Carryforwards**

For federal income tax purposes, each Fund is generally permitted to carry forward a net capital loss in any year to offset its own capital gains, if any, during subsequent years.

**State and Local Taxes**

Although each Fund expects to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and to be relieved of all or substantially all federal income taxes, depending upon the extent of its activities in states and localities in which its offices are maintained, in which its agents or independent contractors are located or in which it is otherwise deemed to be conducting business, a Fund may be subject to the tax laws of such states or localities.

**PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE**

Subject to the general supervision of the Board, the Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for each Fund, the selection of brokers and dealers to effect the transactions, and the negotiation of brokerage commissions, if any. Purchases and sales of securities on a stock exchange are effected through brokers who charge a commission for their services. In the OTC market, securities are generally traded on a "net" basis, with dealers acting as principal for their own accounts without a stated commission, although the price of the security usually includes a profit to the dealer. In underwritten offerings, securities are purchased at a fixed price, which includes an amount of compensation to the underwriter, generally referred to as the underwriter's concession or discount. Certain money market instruments may be purchased directly from an issuer, in which case no commission or discounts are paid.

The Adviser may serve as an investment adviser to other clients, including private investment companies, and the Adviser may in the future act as an investment adviser to other registered investment companies. It is the practice of the Adviser to cause purchase and sale transactions to be allocated among a Fund and others whose assets are managed by the Adviser in such manner as it deems equitable. In making such allocations, the main factors considered are the respective investment objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment, the size of investment commitments generally held, and the opinions of the persons responsible for managing each Fund and the other client accounts. This procedure may, under certain circumstances, have an adverse effect on each Fund.

The policy of the Funds regarding purchases and sales of securities is that primary consideration will be given to obtaining the most favorable prices and efficient executions of transactions. Consistent with this policy, when securities transactions are effected on a stock exchange, the Funds' policy is to pay commissions that are considered fair and reasonable without necessarily determining that the lowest possible commissions are paid in all circumstances. The Adviser believes that a requirement always to seek the lowest commission cost could impede effective management and preclude the Adviser from obtaining high-quality brokerage and research services. In seeking to determine the reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid in any transaction, the Adviser relies on its experience and knowledge regarding commissions generally charged by various brokers and on its judgment in evaluating the brokerage and research services received from the broker effecting the transaction.

In seeking to implement the Funds' policies, the Adviser, through a brokerage or an outsourced trading desk, conducts trades on behalf of the Funds and effects transactions with brokers and dealers that it believes provide the most favorable prices and are capable of providing efficient executions. The Adviser may place portfolio transactions with a broker or dealer that furnishes research and other services to the Adviser and may pay higher commissions to brokers in recognition of research provided (or direct the payment of commissions to such brokers). Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: (1) information as to the availability of securities for purchase or sale, (2) statistical or factual information or opinions pertaining to investments, (3) wire services, (4) and appraisals or evaluations of portfolio securities. The information and services received by the Adviser from brokers and dealers may be of benefit in the management of accounts of other clients and may not in all cases benefit the Company directly. While such services are useful and important in supplementing its own research and facilities, the Adviser believes the value of such services is not determinable and does not significantly reduce its expenses.

No brokerage commission information is provided since the Funds had not commenced operations prior to the date of this SAI.

**Brokerage Selection**

The Company does not expect to use one particular broker or dealer, and when one or more brokers is believed capable of providing the best combination of price and execution, the Adviser may select a broker based upon brokerage or research services provided to the Adviser. The Adviser may pay a higher commission than otherwise obtainable from other brokers in return for such services only if a good faith determination is made that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, permits an investment adviser, under certain circumstances, to cause a fund to pay a broker or dealer a commission for effecting a transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting the transaction in recognition of the value of brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer. In addition to agency transactions, the Adviser may receive brokerage and research services in connection with certain riskless principal transactions, in accordance with applicable SEC guidance. Brokerage and research services include: (1) furnishing advice as to the value of securities, the advisability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities, and the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities; (2) furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities, economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and the performance of accounts; and (3) effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance, settlement, and custody). In the case of research services, the Adviser believes that access to independent investment research is beneficial to their investment decision-making processes and, therefore, to the Funds.

To the extent research services may be a factor in selecting brokers, such services may be in written form or through direct contact with individuals and may include information as to particular companies and securities as well as market, economic, or institutional areas and information which assists in the valuation and pricing of investments. Examples of research-oriented services for which the Adviser might utilize Fund commissions include research reports and other information on the economy, industries, sectors, groups of securities, individual companies, statistical information, political developments, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance and other analysis. The Adviser may use research services furnished by brokers in servicing all client accounts and not all services may necessarily be used in connection with the account that paid commissions to the broker providing such services. Information so received by the Adviser will be in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. Any advisory or other fees paid to the Adviser are not reduced as a result of the receipt of research services.

In some cases, the Adviser may receive a service from a broker that has both a "research" and a "non-research" use. When this occurs, the Adviser makes a good faith allocation, under all the circumstances, between the research and non-research uses of the service. The percentage of the service that is used for research purposes may be paid for with client commissions, while the Adviser will use its own funds to pay for the percentage of the service that is used for non-research purposes. In making this good faith allocation, the Adviser faces a potential conflict of interest, but the Adviser believes that its allocation procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that it appropriately allocates the anticipated use of such services to their research and non-research uses.

**SECURITIES LENDING**

U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as securities lending agent for the Funds and in that role administers the Funds' securities lending program pursuant to the terms of a Master Securities Lending Agreement entered into between the Funds and U.S. Bank, N.A.

As securities lending agent, U.S. Bank, N.A. is responsible for marketing to approved borrowers available securities from the Funds' portfolio. U.S. Bank, N.A. is responsible for the administration and management of the Funds' securities lending program, including the preparation and execution of a participant agreement with each borrower governing the terms and conditions of any securities loan, ensuring that securities loans are properly coordinated and documented with the Funds' custodian, ensuring that loaned securities are daily valued and that the corresponding required cash collateral of at least 102% of the current market value of the loaned securities is delivered by the borrower(s), using best efforts to obtain additional collateral on the next business day if the value of the collateral falls below the required amount, and arranging for the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers in accordance with the Funds' investment guidelines.

U.S. Bank, N.A. receives as compensation for its services a portion of the amount earned by the Funds for lending securities.

No securities lending information is provided since the Funds had not commenced operations prior to the date of this SAI.

**PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES** 

The Board has delegated the responsibility of voting proxies with respect to the portfolio securities purchased and/or held by the Funds ("portfolio proxies") to the Adviser, subject to the Board's continuing oversight. The Adviser's proxy voting policies are summarized below.

**Policies of the Funds' Adviser**

In exercising its voting obligations, the Adviser is guided by its general fiduciary duty to act prudently and in the interest of the Funds. The Adviser will consider factors affecting the value of each Fund's investments and the rights of shareholders in its determination on voting portfolio securities.

The Adviser generally undertakes to vote portfolio proxies with a view to enhancing the value of the company's stock held by the Funds. The Adviser has retained an independent, third party proxy voting agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with guidelines described in the Adviser's Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and to maintain records of such portfolio proxy voting. The Adviser's Proxy Voting Committee is responsible for monitoring the third party proxy voting agent.

A summary of the Adviser's Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for the Funds is as follows:

● Because each Fund is an index-based product, it is the general policy of the Adviser to vote proxies in accordance with the recommendation of a proxy voting agent.

● The Adviser retains the power to vote contrary to the recommendation of a proxy voting agent at its discretion, so long as the reasons for doing so are well documented and subject to the Adviser's controls regarding conflicts of interest.

● In certain situations there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies between the interests of a Fund and its shareholders and those of the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser's Proxy Voting Committee will address any such conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Generally, if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the proxy voting guidelines, the Adviser will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the guidelines. If such proposal is not specifically addressed in the guidelines, or if the guidelines provide discretion to the Adviser (i.e., on a case-by-case basis), the Proxy Voting Committee will determine how to vote the portfolio proxy in the best interests of a Fund.

● All proxies will be voted in accordance with any applicable investment restrictions of a Fund and, to the extent applicable, any resolutions or other instructions approved by the Fund's Board.

● The Adviser may determine not to vote a particular proxy, if the costs and burdens exceed the benefits of voting.

**Conflicts of Interest**

In certain situations there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies between the interests of a Fund and its shareholders and those of the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser. The Adviser's Proxy Voting Committee will address any such conflicts on a case-by-case basis. Generally, if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the proxy voting guidelines, the Adviser will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the guidelines. If such proposal is not specifically addressed in the guidelines, or if the guidelines provide discretion to the Adviser (i.e., on a case-by-case basis), the Proxy Voting Committee will determine how to vote the portfolio proxy in the Funds' best interests.

**More Information**

Each year, the Funds will make available the actual voting records relating to portfolio securities held by each Fund during the 12-month period ending June 30 without charge, upon request by calling 1-703-302-1100, or by accessing the SEC's website at www.sec.gov*.* In addition, a copy of the Adviser's proxy-voting policies and procedures is available by calling 1-703-302-1100 and will be sent within three business days of receipt of a request.

**PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES**

The Adviser and/or its affiliates, at their discretion, may make payments from their own resources and not from Fund assets to affiliated or unaffiliated brokers, dealers, banks (including bank trust departments), trust companies, registered investment advisers, financial planners, retirement plan administrators, insurance companies, and any other institution having a service, administration, or any similar arrangement with a Fund, its service providers or their respective affiliates, as incentives to help market and promote a Fund and/or in recognition of their distribution, marketing, administrative services, and/or processing support.

These additional payments may be made to financial intermediaries that sell Fund shares or provide services to a Fund, the Distributor or shareholders of a Fund through the financial intermediary's retail distribution channel and/or fund supermarkets. Payments may also be made through the financial intermediary's retirement, qualified tuition, fee-based advisory, wrap fee bank trust, or insurance (e.g., individual or group annuity) programs. These payments may include, but are not limited to, placing a Fund in a financial intermediary's retail distribution channel or on a preferred or recommended fund list; providing business or shareholder financial planning assistance; educating financial intermediary personnel about a Fund; providing access to sales and management representatives of the financial intermediary; promoting sales of Fund shares; providing marketing and educational support; maintaining share balances and/or for sub-accounting, administrative or shareholder transaction processing services. A financial intermediary may perform the services itself or may arrange with a third party to perform the services.

The Adviser and/or its affiliates may also make payments from their own resources to financial intermediaries for costs associated with the purchase of products or services used in connection with sales and marketing, participation in and/or presentation at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs, client and investor entertainment and other sponsored events. The costs and expenses associated with these efforts may include travel, lodging, sponsorship at educational seminars and conferences, entertainment and meals to the extent permitted by law.

Revenue sharing payments may be negotiated based on a variety of factors, including the level of sales, the amount of Fund assets attributable to investments in a Fund by financial intermediaries' customers, a flat fee or other measures as determined from time to time by the Adviser and/or its affiliates. A significant purpose of these payments is to increase the sales of Fund shares, which in turn may benefit the Adviser through increased fees as Fund assets grow.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING COMPANY SHARES**

The Company has authorized capital of 100 billion shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share. Currently, 97.823 billion shares have been classified into 285 classes. However, the Company only has approximately 86 active share classes that have begun investment operations. Under the Company's charter, the Board has the power to classify and reclassify any unissued Shares of common stock from time to time.

Each share that represents an interest in a Fund has an equal proportionate interest in the assets belonging to that Fund with each other share that represents an interest in that Fund, even where a share has a different class designation than another share representing an interest in that Fund. Shares of the Company do not have preemptive or conversion rights. When issued for payment as described in the Prospectus, shares of the Company will be fully paid and non-assessable.

The Company does not currently intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders except as required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law. The Company's amended By-Laws provide that shareholders owning at least ten percent of the outstanding shares of all classes of Common Stock of the Company have the right to call for a meeting of shareholders to consider the removal of one or more directors. To the extent required by law, the Company will assist in shareholder communication in such matters.

Holders of shares of each class of the Company will vote in the aggregate on all matters, except where otherwise required by law. Further, shareholders of the Company will vote in the aggregate and not by portfolio except as otherwise required by law or when the Board determines that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular portfolio or class of shares. Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act provides that any matter required to be submitted by the provisions of such Act or applicable state law, or otherwise, to the holders of the outstanding voting securities of an investment company such as the Company shall not be deemed to have been effectively acted upon unless approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each portfolio affected by the matter. Rule 18f-2 further provides that a portfolio shall be deemed to be affected by a matter unless it is clear that the interests of each portfolio in the matter are identical or that the matter does not affect any interest of the portfolio. Under Rule 18f-2 the approval of an investment advisory agreement or distribution agreement or any change in a fundamental investment objective or fundamental investment policy would be effectively acted upon with respect to a portfolio only if approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such portfolio. However, the Rule 18f-2 also provides that the ratification of the selection of independent public accountants and the election of directors are not subject to the separate voting requirements and may be effectively acted upon by shareholders of an investment company voting without regard to a portfolio. Shareholders of the Company are entitled to one vote for each full share held (irrespective of class or portfolio) and fractional votes for fractional shares held. Voting rights are not cumulative and, accordingly, the holders of more than 50% of the aggregate shares of common stock of the Company may elect all of the Directors.

Notwithstanding any provision of Maryland law requiring a greater vote of shares of the Company's common stock (or of any class voting as a class) in connection with any corporate action, unless otherwise provided by law (for example by Rule 18f-2 discussed above), or by the Company's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, the Company may take or authorize such action upon the favorable vote of the holders of more than 50% of all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock voting without regard to class (or portfolio).

**<u>APPENDIX A</u>**

**DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES RATINGS**

**<u>Short-Term Credit Ratings</u>**

An ***S&P Global Ratings*** short-term issue credit rating is generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. The following summarizes the rating categories used by S&P Global Ratings for short-term issues:

"A-1" – A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

"A-2" – A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is satisfactory.

"A-3" – A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken an obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"B" – A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as vulnerable and has significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments.

"C" – A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"D" – A short-term obligation rated "D" is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within any stated grace period. However, any stated grace period longer than five business days will be treated as five business days. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to "D" if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring.

Local Currency and Foreign Currency Ratings – S&P Global Ratings' issuer credit ratings make a distinction between foreign currency ratings and local currency ratings. A foreign currency rating on an issuer can differ from the local currency rating on it when the obligor has a different capacity to meet its obligations denominated in its local currency, versus obligations denominated in a foreign currency.

"NR" – This indicates that a rating has not been assigned or is no longer assigned.

***Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's")*** short-term ratings are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less and reflect both on the likelihood of a default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment.

Moody's employs the following designations to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

"P-1" – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-1 reflect a superior ability to repay short-term obligations.

"P-2" – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-2 reflect a strong ability to repay short-term obligations.

"P-3" – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Prime-3 reflect an acceptable ability to repay short-term obligations.

"NP" – Issuers (or supporting institutions) rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

"NR" – Is assigned to an unrated issuer, obligation and/or program.

***Fitch, Inc. / Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch")*** short-term issuer or obligation rating is based in all cases on the short-term vulnerability to default of the rated entity and relates to the capacity to meet financial obligations in accordance with the documentation governing the relevant obligation. Short-term deposit ratings may be adjusted for loss severity. Short-term ratings are assigned to obligations whose initial maturity is viewed as "short-term" based on market convention.<sup>1</sup> Typically, this means up to 13 months for corporate, sovereign, and structured obligations and up to 36 months for obligations in U.S. public finance markets. The following summarizes the rating categories used by Fitch for short-term obligations:

"F1" – Securities possess the highest short-term credit quality. This designation indicates the strongest intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments; may have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

"F2" – Securities possess good short-term credit quality. This designation indicates good intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. A long-term rating can also be used to rate an issue with short maturity.

"F3" – Securities possess fair short-term credit quality. This designation indicates that the intrinsic capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate.

"B" – Securities possess speculative short-term credit quality. This designation indicates minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus heightened vulnerability to near term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

"C" – Securities possess high short-term default risk. Default is a real possibility.

"RD" – Restricted default. Indicates an entity that has defaulted on one or more of its financial commitments, although it continues to meet other financial obligations. Typically applicable to entity ratings only.

"D" – Default. Indicates a broad-based default event for an entity, or the default of a short-term obligation.

"NR" – Is assigned to an issue of a rated issuer that are not and have not been rated.

The ***Morningstar DBRS® Ratings Limited ("Morningstar DBRS")*** short-term obligation ratings provide Morningstar DBRS's opinion on the risk that an issuer will not meet its short-term financial obligations in a timely manner. The obligations rated in this category typically have a term of shorter than one year. The R-1 and R-2 rating categories are further denoted by the subcategories "(high)", "(middle)", and "(low)".

The following summarizes the ratings used by Morningstar DBRS for commercial paper and short-term debt:

"R-1 (high)" - Short-term debt rated "R-1 (high)" is of the highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is exceptionally high. Unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

"R-1 (middle)" – Short-term debt rated "R-1 (middle)" is of superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is very high. Differs from "R-1 (high)" by a relatively modest degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

"R-1 (low)" – Short-term debt rated "R-1 (low)" is of good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is substantial. Overall strength is not as favorable as higher rating categories. May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

"R-2 (high)" – Short-term debt rated "R-2 (high)" is considered to be at the upper end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

"R-2 (middle)" – Short-term debt rated "R-2 (middle)" is considered to be of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events or may be exposed to other factors that could reduce credit quality.

"R-2 (low)" – Short-term debt rated "R-2 (low)" is considered to be at the lower end of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events. A number of challenges are present that could affect the issuer's ability to meet such obligations.

"R-3" – Short-term debt rated "R-3" is considered to be at the lowest end of adequate credit quality. There is a capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due. May be vulnerable to future events, and the certainty of meeting such obligations could be impacted by a variety of developments.

"R-4" – Short-term debt rated "R-4" is considered to be of speculative credit quality. The capacity for the payment of short-term financial obligations as they fall due is uncertain.

"R-5" – Short-term debt rated "R-5" is considered to be of highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet short-term financial obligations as they fall due.

"D" – A downgrade to "D" may occur when the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding-up statute, or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods. Morningstar DBRS may also use "SD" (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange".

**<u>Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings</u>**

The following summarizes the ratings used by ***S&P Global Ratings*** for long-term issues:

"AAA" – An obligation rated "AAA" has the highest rating assigned by S&P Global Ratings. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is extremely strong.

"AA" – An obligation rated "AA" differs from the highest-rated obligations only to a small degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is very strong.

"A" – An obligation rated "A" is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation is still strong.

"BBB" – An obligation rated "BBB" exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to weaken the obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"BB," "B," "CCC," "CC" and "C" – Obligations rated "BB," "B," "CCC," "CC" and "C" are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. "BB" indicates the least degree of speculation and "C" the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposure to adverse conditions.

"BB" – An obligation rated "BB" is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions that could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"B" – An obligation rated "B" is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated "BB", but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"CCC" – An obligation rated "CCC" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitments on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitments on the obligation.

"CC" – An obligation rated "CC" is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "CC" rating is used when a default has not yet occurred but S&P Global Ratings expects default to be a virtual certainty, regardless of the anticipated time to default.

"C" – An obligation rated "C" is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment, and the obligation is expected to have lower relative seniority or lower ultimate recovery compared with obligations that are rated higher.

"D" – An obligation rated "D" is in default or in breach of an imputed promise. For non-hybrid capital instruments, the "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due, unless S&P Global Ratings believes that such payments will be made within the next five business days in the absence of a stated grace period or within the earlier of the stated grace period or the next 30 calendar days. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions. A rating on an obligation is lowered to "D" if it is subject to a distressed debt restructuring

Plus (+) or minus (-) – Ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

"NR" – This indicates that a rating has not been assigned, or is no longer assigned.

Local Currency and Foreign Currency Ratings - S&P Global Ratings' issuer credit ratings make a distinction between foreign currency ratings and local currency ratings. A foreign currency rating on an issuer can differ from the local currency rating on it when the obligor has a different capacity to meet its obligations denominated in its local currency, versus obligations denominated in a foreign currency.

***Moody's*** long-term ratings are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations with an original maturity of eleven months or more. Such ratings reflect both on the likelihood of default or impairment on contractual financial obligations and the expected financial loss suffered in the event of default or impairment. The following summarizes the ratings used by Moody's for long-term debt:

"Aaa" – Obligations rated "Aaa" are judged to be of the highest quality, subject to the lowest level of credit risk.

"Aa" – Obligations rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very low credit risk.

"A" – Obligations rated "A" are judged to be upper-medium grade and are subject to low credit risk.

"Baa" – Obligations rated "Baa" are judged to be medium-grade and subject to moderate credit risk and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.

"Ba" – Obligations rated "Ba" are judged to be speculative and are subject to substantial credit risk.

"B" – Obligations rated "B" are considered speculative and are subject to high credit risk.

"Caa" – Obligations rated "Caa" are judged to be speculative of poor standing and are subject to very high credit risk.

"Ca" – Obligations rated "Ca" are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near, default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.

"C" – Obligations rated "C" are the lowest rated and are typically in default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.

Note: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category.

"NR" – Is assigned to unrated obligations, obligation and/or program.

The following summarizes long-term ratings used by ***Fitch***:

"AAA" – Securities considered to be of the highest credit quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in cases of exceptionally strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

"AA" – Securities considered to be of very high credit quality. "AA" ratings denote expectations of very low credit risk. They indicate very strong capacity for payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

"A" – Securities considered to be of high credit quality. "A" ratings denote expectations of low credit risk. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

"BBB" – Securities considered to be of good credit quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that expectations of credit risk are currently low. The capacity for payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity.

"BB" – Securities considered to be speculative. "BB" ratings indicates an elevated vulnerability to credit risk, particularly in the event of adverse changes in business or economic conditions over time; however, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met.

"B" – Securities considered to be highly speculative. "B" ratings indicate that material credit risk is present

"CCC" – A "CCC" rating indicates that substantial credit risk is present.

"CC" – A "CC" rating indicates very high levels of credit risk.

"C" – A "C" rating indicates exceptionally high levels of credit risk.

Defaulted obligations typically are not assigned "RD" or "D" ratings but are instead rated in the "CCC" to "C" rating categories, depending on their recovery prospects and other relevant characteristics. Fitch believes that this approach better aligns obligations that have comparable overall expected loss but varying vulnerability to default and loss.

Plus (+) or minus (-) may be appended to a rating to denote relative status within major rating categories. Such suffixes are not added to the "AAA" obligation rating category, or to corporate finance obligation ratings in the categories below "CCC".

"NR" – Is assigned to an unrated issue of a rated issuer.

The Morningstar DBRS long-term obligation ratings provide Morningstar DBRS's opinion on the risk that investors may not be repaid in accordance with the terms under which the long-term obligation was issued. The obligations rated in this category typically have a term of one year or longer. All rating categories from AA to CCC contain subcategories "(high)" and "(low)". The absence of either a "(high)" or "(low)" designation indicates the rating is in the middle of the category. The following summarizes the ratings used by Morningstar DBRS for long-term debt:

"AAA" – Long-term debt rated "AAA" is of the highest credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is exceptionally high and unlikely to be adversely affected by future events.

"AA" – Long-term debt rated "AA" is of superior credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered high. Credit quality differs from "AAA" only to a small degree. Unlikely to be significantly vulnerable to future events.

"A" – Long-term debt rated "A" is of good credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is substantial, but of lesser credit quality than "AA." May be vulnerable to future events, but qualifying negative factors are considered manageable.

"BBB" – Long-term debt rated "BBB" is of adequate credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is considered acceptable. May be vulnerable to future events.

"BB" – Long-term debt rated "BB" is of speculative, non-investment grade credit quality. The capacity for the payment of financial obligations is uncertain. Vulnerable to future events.

"B" – Long-term debt rated "B" is of highly speculative credit quality. There is a high level of uncertainty as to the capacity to meet financial obligations.

"CCC", "CC" and "C" – Long-term debt rated in any of these categories is of very highly speculative credit quality. In danger of defaulting on financial obligations. There is little difference between these three categories, although "CC" and "C" ratings are normally applied to obligations that are seen as highly likely to default or subordinated to obligations rated in the "CCC" to "B" range. Obligations in respect of which default has not technically taken place but is considered inevitable may be rated in the "C" category.

"D" – A downgrade to "D" may occur when the issuer has filed under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or winding up statute or there is a failure to satisfy an obligation after the exhaustion of grace periods. Morningstar DBRS may also use "SD" (Selective Default) in cases where only some securities are impacted, such as the case of a "distressed exchange".

**<u>Municipal Note Ratings</u>**

An ***S&P Global Ratings*** U.S. municipal note rating reflects S&P Global Ratings' opinion about the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to the notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes with an original maturity of more than three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. In determining which type of rating, if any, to assign, S&P Global Ratings' analysis will review the following considerations:

● Amortization schedule - the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and

● Source of payment - the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

Municipal Short-Term Note rating symbols are as follows:

"SP-1" – A municipal note rated "SP-1" exhibits a strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue determined to possess a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a plus (+) designation.

"SP-2" – A municipal note rated "SP-2" exhibits a satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

"SP-3" – A municipal note rated "SP-3" exhibits a speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

"D" – This rating is assigned upon failure to pay the note when due, completion of a distressed debt restructuring, or the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of similar action and where default on an obligation is a virtual certainty, for example due to automatic stay provisions.

***Moody's*** uses the global short-term Prime rating scale (listed above under Short-Term Credit Ratings) for commercial paper issued by U.S. municipalities and nonprofits. These commercial paper programs may be backed by external letters of credit or liquidity facilities, or by an issuer's self-liquidity.

For other short-term municipal obligations, Moody's uses one of two other short-term rating scales, the Municipal Investment Grade ("MIG") and Variable Municipal Investment Grade ("VMIG") scales provided below.

Moody's uses the MIG scale for U.S. municipal cash flow notes, bond anticipation notes and certain other short-term obligations, which typically mature in three years or less.

MIG Scale

"MIG-1" – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by established cash flows, highly reliable liquidity support, or demonstrated broad-based access to the market for refinancing.

"MIG-2" – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Margins of protection are ample, although not as large as in the preceding group.

"MIG-3" – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Liquidity and cash-flow protection may be narrow, and market access for refinancing is likely to be less well-established.

"SG" – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Debt instruments in this category may lack sufficient margins of protection.

"NR" – Is assigned to an unrated obligation, obligation and/or program.

In the case of variable rate demand obligations ("VRDOs"), Moody's assigns both a long-term rating and a short-term payment obligation rating. The long-term rating addresses the issuer's ability to meet scheduled principal and interest payments. The short-term payment obligation rating addresses the ability of the issuer or the liquidity provider to meet any purchase price payment obligation resulting from optional tenders ("on demand") and/or mandatory tenders of the VRDO. The short-term payment obligation rating uses the VMIG scale. Transitions of VMIG ratings with conditional liquidity support differ from transitions of Prime ratings reflecting the risk that external liquidity support will terminate if the issuer's long-term rating drops below investment grade.

Moody's typically assigns the VMIG rating if the frequency of the payment obligation is less than every three years. If the frequency of the payment obligation is less than three years but the obligation is payable only with remarketing proceeds, the VMIG short-term rating is not assigned and it is denoted as "NR".

"VMIG-1" – This designation denotes superior credit quality. Excellent protection is afforded by the superior short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

"VMIG-2" – This designation denotes strong credit quality. Good protection is afforded by the strong short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

"VMIG-3" – This designation denotes acceptable credit quality. Adequate protection is afforded by the satisfactory short-term credit strength of the liquidity provider and structural and legal protections.

"SG" – This designation denotes speculative-grade credit quality. Demand features rated in this category may be supported by a liquidity provider that does not have a sufficiently strong short-term rating or may lack the structural and/or legal protections.

"NR" – Is assigned to an unrated obligation, obligation and/or program.

**<u>About Credit Ratings</u>**

An ***S&P Global Ratings*** issue credit rating is a forward-looking opinion about the creditworthiness of an obligor with respect to a specific financial obligation, a specific class of financial obligations, or a specific financial program (including ratings on medium-term note programs and commercial paper programs). It takes into consideration the creditworthiness of guarantors, insurers, or other forms of credit enhancement on the obligation and takes into account the currency in which the obligation is denominated. The opinion reflects S&P Global Ratings' view of the obligor's capacity and willingness to meet its financial commitments as they come due, and this opinion may assess terms, such as collateral security and subordination, which could affect ultimate payment in the event of default.

Ratings assigned on ***Moody's*** global long-term and short-term rating scales are forward-looking opinions of the relative credit risks of financial obligations issued by non-financial corporates, financial institutions, structured finance vehicles, project finance vehicles, and public sector entities.

***Fitch's*** credit ratings are forward-looking opinions on the relative ability of an entity or obligation to meet financial commitments. Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) are assigned to corporations, sovereign entities, financial institutions such as banks, leasing companies and insurers, and public finance entities (local and regional governments). Issue-level ratings are also assigned and often include an expectation of recovery, which may be notched above or below the issuer-level rating. Issue ratings are assigned to secured and unsecured debt securities, loans, preferred stock and other instruments. Credit ratings are indications of the likelihood of repayment in accordance with the terms of the issuance. In limited cases, Fitch may include additional considerations (i.e., rate to a higher or lower standard than that implied in the obligation's documentation).

***Morningstar DBRS*** offers independent, transparent, and innovative credit analysis to the market. Credit ratings are forward-looking opinions about credit risk that reflect the creditworthiness of an issuer, rated entity, security and/or obligation based on Morningstar DBRS's quantitative and qualitative analysis in accordance with applicable methodologies and criteria. They are meant to provide opinions on relative measures of risk and are not based on expectations of, or meant to predict, any specific default probability. Credit ratings are not statements of fact. Morningstar DBRS issues credit ratings using one or more categories, such as public, private, provisional, final(ized), solicited, or unsolicited. From time to time, credit ratings may also be subject to trends, placed under review, or discontinued. Morningstar DBRS credit ratings are determined by credit rating committees.

| **<u>Item 30.</u>** | **INDEMNIFICATION** |

Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Article VIII of Registrant's Articles of Incorporation, as amended, incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits (a)(1) and (a)(3), provide as follows:

Section 1. To the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, no director or officer of the Corporation shall have any liability to the Corporation or its shareholders for damages. This limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a person serves as a director or officer of the Corporation whether or not such person is a director or officer at the time of any proceeding in which liability is asserted.

Section 2. The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to its currently acting and its former directors to the fullest extent that indemnification of directors is permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law. The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law. The Board of Directors may by law, resolution or agreement make further provision for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation law.

Section 3. No provision of this Article shall be effective to protect or purport to protect any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation or its security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Section 4. References to the Maryland General Corporation Law in this Article are to the law as from time to time amended. No further amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation shall decrease, but may expand, any right of any person under this Article based on any event, omission or proceeding prior to such amendment. Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

## Exhibit 99.28

**<u>INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT</u>**

AGREEMENT made as of September 11<sup>th</sup>, 2025 between THE RBB FUND, INC, a Maryland corporation (herein called the "Fund"), and MOTLEY FOOL ASSET MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (herein called the "Investment Adviser").

WHEREAS, the Fund is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), and currently offers or proposes to offer shares representing interests in separate investment portfolios; and

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to retain the Investment Adviser to render certain investment advisory services to the Fund with respect to the Fund's portfolios listed on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the "Portfolios" and each, a "Portfolio"), effective as of the dates specified on Exhibit A, and the Investment Adviser is willing to so render such services; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Fund and the shareholder(s) of each Portfolio have approved this Agreement, and the Investment Adviser is willing to furnish such services upon the terms and conditions herein set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, it is agreed between the parties hereto as follows:

SECTION 1. APPOINTMENT. The Fund hereby appoints the Investment Adviser to act as investment adviser for the Portfolios for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Investment Adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services herein set forth for the compensation herein provided.

SECTION 2. DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS. The Fund has furnished the Investment Adviser with copies properly certified or authenticated of each of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund authorizing the appointment of the Investment Adviser and the execution and delivery of this Agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A prospectus and statement of additional information relating to each class of shares representing interests in each Portfolio of the Fund in effect under the Securities Act of 1933 (such prospectus and statement of additional information, as presently in effect and as they shall from time to time be amended and supplemented, are herein collectively called the "Prospectus" and "Statement of Additional Information," respectively).

The Fund will promptly furnish the Investment Adviser from time to time with copies, properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or supplements to the foregoing, if any.

In addition to the foregoing, the Fund will also provide the Investment Adviser with copies of the Fund's Charter and Bylaws, and any registration statement or service contracts related to the Portfolios, and will promptly furnish the Investment Adviser with any amendments of or supplements to such documents.

SECTION 3. MANAGEMENT.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to the supervision of the Board of Directors of the Fund and subject to Section 3(b) below, the Investment Adviser will provide for the overall management of the Portfolios including (i) the provision of a continuous investment program for each Portfolio, including investment research and management with respect to all securities, investments, cash and cash equivalents in each Portfolio, (ii) the determination from time to time of the securities and other investments to be purchased, retained, or sold by the Fund for each Portfolio, (iii) the placement from time to time of orders for all purchases and sales made for each Portfolio, (iv) in connection with its management of each Portfolio, monitoring and assistance with anticipated purchases and redemptions of creation units by shareholders and new investors, (v) the determination of the amount of the cash component, the identity and number of shares of the securities to be accepted in exchange for "Creation Units" for each Portfolio and the securities that will be applicable that day to redemption requests received for each Portfolio (and may give directions to the Fund's custodian with respect to such designations), (vi) the coordination of each Portfolio's compliance with rules of the applicable securities exchange, and (vii) the establishment, monitoring and keeping up-to-date of each Portfolio's website to comply with applicable law. The Investment Adviser shall have a limited power-of-attorney to execute any trading and/or subscription documents necessary in order to carry out its duties under this Section 3. The Investment Adviser will provide the services rendered by it hereunder in accordance with each Portfolio's investment objective, restrictions and policies as stated in the applicable Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, provided that the Investment Adviser has actual notice or knowledge of any changes by the Board of Directors to such investment objectives, restrictions or policies. The Investment Adviser further agrees that it will render to the Fund's Board of Directors such periodic and special reports regarding the performance of its duties under this Agreement as the Board may reasonably request. The Investment Adviser agrees to provide to the Fund (or its agents and service providers) prompt and accurate data with respect to each Portfolio's transactions and, where not otherwise available, the daily valuation of securities in each Portfolio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *Sub-Advisers.* The Investment Adviser may delegate certain of its responsibilities hereunder with respect to provision of the investment advisory services set forth in Section 3(a) above to one or more other parties (each such party, a "Sub-Adviser"), pursuant in each case to a written agreement with such Sub-Adviser that meets the requirements of Section 15 of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder applicable to contracts for service as investment adviser of a registered investment company (including without limitation the requirements for approval by the Board of Directors of the Fund and the shareholders of each Portfolio), subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission upon application or by rule. Such Sub-Adviser may (but need not) be affiliated with the Investment Adviser.

Any delegation of services pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be subject to the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Any fees or compensation payable to any Sub-Adviser shall be paid by the Investment Adviser and no additional obligation may be incurred on the Fund's behalf to any Sub-Adviser; except that any Fund expenses that may be incurred by the Investment Adviser and paid by the Fund to the Investment Adviser directly may be incurred by the Sub-Adviser and paid by the Fund to the Sub-Adviser directly, so long as such payment arrangements are approved by the Fund and the Investment Adviser prior to the Sub-Adviser's incurring such expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. If the Investment Adviser delegates its responsibilities to more than one Sub- Adviser, the Investment Adviser shall be responsible for assigning to each Sub- Adviser that portion of the assets of each Portfolio for which the Sub-Adviser is to act as Sub-Adviser, subject to the approval of the Fund's Board of Directors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. To the extent that any obligations of the Investment Adviser or any Sub-Adviser require any service provider of the Fund or any Portfolio to furnish information or services, such information or services shall be furnished by the Fund's or the Portfolio's service providers directly to both the Investment Adviser and any Sub- Adviser.

SECTION 4. BROKERAGE. Subject to the Investment Adviser's obligation to obtain best price and execution, the Investment Adviser shall have full discretion to select brokers or dealers to effect the purchase and sale of securities. When the Investment Adviser places orders for the purchase or sale of securities for a Portfolio, in selecting brokers or dealers to execute such orders, the Investment Adviser is expressly authorized to consider the fact that a broker or dealer has furnished statistical, research or other information or services for the benefit of the Portfolio directly or indirectly. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investment Adviser is authorized to cause each Portfolio to pay brokerage commissions which may be in excess of the lowest rates available to brokers who execute transactions for the Portfolio or who otherwise provide brokerage and research services utilized by the Investment Adviser, provided that the Investment Adviser determines in good faith that the amount of each such commission paid to a broker is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker viewed in terms of either the particular transaction to which the commission relates or the Investment Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to accounts as to which the Investment Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Investment Adviser may aggregate securities orders so long as the Investment Adviser adheres to a policy of allocating investment opportunities to the Portfolios over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis relative to other clients. In no instance will a Portfolio's securities be purchased from or sold to the Fund's principal underwriter, the Investment Adviser, or any affiliated person thereof, except to the extent permitted by SEC exemptive order or by applicable law.

The Investment Adviser shall report to the Board of Directors of the Fund at least quarterly with respect to brokerage transactions that were entered into by the Investment Adviser, pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and shall certify to the Board that the commissions paid were reasonable in terms either of that transaction or the overall responsibilities of the Investment Adviser to the Fund and the Investment Adviser's other clients, that the total commissions paid by the Fund were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Fund over the long term, and that such commissions were paid in compliance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

SECTION 5. CONFORMITY WITH LAW; CONFIDENTIALITY. The Investment Adviser further agrees that it will comply with all applicable rules and regulations of all federal regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations having jurisdiction over each Portfolio and/or the Investment Adviser in the performance of its duties hereunder. The Investment Adviser will treat confidentially and as proprietary information of the Fund all records and other information relating to the Fund and prior, present, or potential shareholders (except with respect to clients of the Investment Adviser) and will not use such records and information for any purpose other than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where the Investment Adviser may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Fund. Where the Investment Adviser may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply with a request for records or other information relating to the Fund, the Investment Adviser may comply with such request prior to obtaining the Fund's written approval, provided that the Investment Adviser has taken reasonable steps to promptly notify the Fund, in writing, upon receipt of the request.

SECTION 6. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The Investment Adviser and its officers may act and continue to act as investment managers for others, and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to restrict the right of the Investment Adviser to perform investment management or other services for any other person or entity, and the performance of such services for others shall not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to the Portfolios or the Fund.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the Investment Adviser or any of its directors, officers, affiliates or employees from buying, selling or trading in any securities for its or their own account. The Fund acknowledges that the Investment Adviser and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees and other clients may, at any time, have, acquire, increase, decrease, or dispose of positions in investments which are at the same time being acquired or disposed of for the Portfolios. The Investment Adviser shall have no obligation to acquire for the Portfolios a position in any investment which the Investment Adviser, its directors, officers, affiliates or employees may acquire for its or their own accounts or for the account of another client, so long as it continues to be the policy and practice of the Investment Adviser not to favor or disfavor consistently or consciously any client or class of clients in the allocation of investment opportunities so that, to the extent practical, such opportunities will be allocated among clients over a period of time on a fair and equitable basis.

The Investment Adviser agrees that this Section 6 does not constitute a waiver by the Fund of the obligations imposed upon the Investment Adviser to comply with Sections 17(d) and 17(j) of the 1940 Act, and the rules thereunder, nor constitute a waiver by the Fund of the obligations imposed upon the Investment Adviser under Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder. Further, the Investment Adviser agrees that this Section 6 does not constitute a waiver by the Fund of the fiduciary obligation of the Investment Adviser arising under federal or state law, including Section 36 of the 1940 Act. The Investment Adviser agrees that this Section 6 shall be interpreted consistent with the provisions of Section 17(i) of the 1940 Act.

SECTION 7. BOOKS AND RECORDS. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Investment Adviser hereby agrees that all records which it maintains for the Portfolios are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund's request. The Investment Adviser further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act.

SECTION 8. EXPENSES. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser will pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement. In addition, for no additional compensation, the Investment Adviser shall pay all of the other operating expenses of each Portfolio, excluding: (i) its advisory fees payable under this Agreement; (ii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (iii) interest expenses; (iv) brokerage expenses, trading expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (v) tax expenses (including any income or franchise taxes) and governmental fees; and (vi) extraordinary expenses, such as litigation costs and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business.

General expenses of the Fund not readily identifiable as belonging to an investment portfolio of the Fund shall be allocated among all investment portfolios by or under the direction of the Fund's Board of Directors in such manner as the Board determines to be fair and equitable and such expenses will be borne by the Investment Adviser or Portfolios in accordance with this Section 8.

SECTION 9. VOTING. The Investment Adviser shall have the authority to vote as agent for each Portfolio, either in person or by proxy, tender and take all actions incident to the ownership of all securities in which such Portfolio's assets may be invested from time to time, subject to such policies and procedures as the Board of Directors of the Fund may adopt from time to time.

SECTION 10. RESERVATION OF NAME. The Investment Adviser shall at all times have all rights in and to each Portfolio's name and all investment models used by or on behalf of such Portfolio. The Investment Adviser may use each Portfolio's name or any portion thereof in connection with any other investment company or business activity without the consent of any shareholder and the Fund shall execute and deliver any and all documents required to indicate the consent of the Fund to such use. The Fund hereby agrees that in the event that neither the Investment Adviser nor any of its affiliates acts as investment adviser to a Portfolio, the name of the Portfolio will be changed to one that does not suggest an affiliation with the Investment Adviser.

SECTION 11. COMPENSATION.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant to this Agreement with respect to each Portfolio, the Fund will pay the Investment Adviser from the assets of such Portfolio and the Investment Adviser will accept as full compensation therefor a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate specified in Exhibit A for the Portfolio of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. For any period less than a full month during which this Agreement is in effect, the fee shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to a full month.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The fee attributable to each Portfolio shall be satisfied only against the assets of such Portfolio and not against the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund. The Investment Adviser may from time to time agree not to impose all or a portion of its fee otherwise payable hereunder (in advance of the time such fee or portion thereof would otherwise accrue) and/or undertake to pay or reimburse a Portfolio for all or a portion of its expenses not otherwise required to be borne or reimbursed by the Investment Adviser.

SECTION 12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Investment Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Investment Adviser in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under this Agreement ("disabling conduct"). Each Portfolio will indemnify the Investment Adviser against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit not resulting from disabling conduct by the Investment Adviser. Indemnification shall be made only following: (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Investment Adviser was not liable by reason of disabling conduct by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors of the Portfolio who are neither "interested persons" of the Fund nor parties to the proceeding ("disinterested non-party directors") or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Investment Adviser shall be entitled to advances from the Portfolio for payment of the reasonable expenses incurred by it in connection with the matter as to which it is seeking indemnification in the manner and to the fullest extent permissible under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. The Investment Adviser shall provide to the Portfolio a written affirmation of its good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Portfolio has been met and a written undertaking to repay any such advance if it should ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. In addition, at least one of the following additional conditions shall be met: (a) the Portfolio is insured against losses arising by reason of the advance; or (b) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party directors, or independent legal counsel, in a written opinion, shall have determined, based upon a review of facts readily available to the Portfolio at the time the advance is proposed to be made, that there is reason to believe that the Investment Adviser will ultimately be found to be entitled to indemnification. Any amounts payable by a Portfolio under this Section shall be satisfied only against the assets of the Portfolio and not against the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund.

The limitations on liability and indemnification provisions of this Section 12 shall not be applicable to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arising from the Investment Adviser's rights to a Portfolio's name. The Investment Adviser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each Portfolio for any claims arising from the use of the term "Motley Fool" in the name of the Portfolio.

SECTION 13. DURATION AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Portfolio as of the date first above written and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, shall continue with respect to each Portfolio until August 16, 2027. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue with respect to each Portfolio for successive annual periods ending on August 16, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of those members of the Board of Directors of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) by the Board of Directors of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Portfolio by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio, on 60 days' prior written notice to the Investment Adviser, or by the Investment Adviser at any time, without payment of any penalty, on 60 days' prior written notice to the Fund. This Agreement will immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. (As used in this Agreement, the terms "majority of the outstanding voting securities," "interested person" and "assignment" shall have the same meaning as such terms have in the 1940 Act).

SECTION 14. AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, discharged or terminated orally, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, discharge or termination is sought, and, unless otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act, no amendment of this Agreement affecting a Portfolio shall be effective until approved by vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

The Amendment seeks to register an indefinite number of Shares.

We have reviewed the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended and supplemented; By-Laws, as amended; resolutions of its Board of Directors; and such other legal and factual matters as we have deemed appropriate. This opinion is based exclusively on the Maryland General Corporation Law and the federal law of the United States of America.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued for payment as described in the Company's prospectuses offering the Shares and in accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended and supplemented, for not less than $0.001 per share, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Amendment to the Company's Registration Statement.

A. Introduction

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| **10.01 *Overview*** | **10.01 *Overview*** |
| This code of ethics ("**Code**") is based on the principle that Access Persons:<br> 1. Have a duty to place the interests of Clients ahead of their own interests; and<br> 2. Must always act with integrity and good faith, but particularly when their personal interests may conflict with the interests of Clients.<br>Further, Access Persons must:<br> ● Not take inappropriate advantage of their position with Altair; and<br> ● Conduct all personal securities transactions in full compliance with this Code. | See section 10.19 for definitions of select capitalized terms used throughout this Code.<br>Please see Compliance if you are unsure of how to apply a term defined within this Code, or if you have general questions regarding this Code.<br>This policy excludes individuals who receive complimentary unbilled services without an investment management agreement, such as Client Entourage Accounts, from the definition of "Client".<br>Receipt of this Code represents notification of your reporting obligations under the Advisers Act and Investment Company Act of 1940. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| **10.02 *Standards of Conduct*** | **10.02 *Standards of Conduct*** |
| When engaging Clients, prospective Clients or their representatives, Access Persons must not knowingly:<br> 1. Make any inaccurate or misleading oral or written statements;<br> 2. Falsify a material fact to any Client;<br> 3. Omit a material fact necessary for the communication to not be misleading in light of the circumstances;<br> 4. Engage in any manipulative practice; or | To comply with these important requirements, you should adhere to:<br> ● Altair's Compliance Policy Manual; and<br> ● Communications provided by Management and the Chief Compliance Officer ("**CCO**").<br>Altair expects you to follow the Standards of Conduct in this Code, which are consistent with Altair's culture of dealing with Clients honestly, openly and in good faith. |

|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| 5. Engage in any act, practice or course of conduct which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit.<br>Further, Access Persons must comply with applicable laws, including relevant federal and state securities laws and regulations and stock exchange rules. |  |
| **10.03 *Personal Gain*** | **10.03 *Personal Gain*** |
| Access Persons should not exert influence in any business transaction where their personal interests could compete with the best interests of or they could gain at the expense of:<br> ● any Client;<br> ● Altair; or<br> ● any of their affiliates. | In connection with your role with Altair, you must always place the interests of Clients above your own interests. Again, this is consistent with Altair's culture and core expectations when working with clients. |
| **10.04 *Outside Employment, Business Activities and Directorships*** | **10.04 *Outside Employment, Business Activities and Directorships*** |
| As described in the Employee Handbook, Access Persons are prohibited from undertaking additional or outside employment, including self-employment, business ventures and employment with other companies. Any exceptions to this prohibition must be pre-approved in writing by Compliance.<br>Any service as a director or trustee of governmental, commercial or not-for-profit organizations must also be pre-approved in writing by Compliance. | Engaging in outside for-profit work is generally prohibited, as described in the Employee Handbook.<br>Err on the side of caution, and request approval from Compliance for any outside activity, including any board activity. It is important for Altair to ascertain whether any outside business activities present a conflict with Altair's business. As an extreme example, an employee selling insurance products on the side would be viewed as a conflict to Altair's core business and therefore would not be permitted. |

Altair Advisers LLC Policy Number: 10 <br> Code of Ethics Revised: July 2025

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| This Code is designed to reduce the potential for conflicts or an appearance of impropriety. |  |
| **10.06 *Restrictions*** | **10.06 *Restrictions*** |
| The following restrictions apply to all Access Person and his or her Immediate Family:<br> 1. Any transaction in a Reportable Security in anticipation or with knowledge of an order from or on behalf of a Client (i.e., front running). This restriction does not include transactions:<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Of shares of index-based Exchange-Traded Funds ("**ETFs**");<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Of shares of diversified target-date funds; and<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Made through an Automatic Investment Plan (changes to an existing Automatic Investment Plan, however, are subject to the front-running restrictions outlined above).<br> 2. Any transaction of a Reportable Security included on the Restricted List, maintained within the MyComplianceOffice ("**MCO**") platform.<br> 3. Any transaction in an Initial Public Offering ("**IPO**").<br> 4. Any Short Sale transaction.<br> 5. Trading in a manner which mimics or closely adheres to the trading activity of any third-party money manager used by Altair. | Follow these restrictions carefully and consult them before placing any trade. As Altair does not require preclearance for most trades, it is your responsibility to understand whether you are able to execute a trade. Of course, you may confer with Compliance before placing a trade.<br>Altair's inherent business model may result in Access Persons receiving material nonpublic information. It is critical that you consult the Restricted List before placing a trade in any Reportable Security and avoid trading in Reportable Securities included on the Restricted List. Contact Compliance if you need to sell a holding of a Reportable Security included on the Restricted List.<br>You are expected not to use information provided by third-party money managers used by Altair in connection with your personal trading activities. Please see Compliance with questions related to this general expectation.<br>Third-party money managers used by Altair are required to adopt and implement a Code of Ethics and Personal Trading Policy and should not share anticipated trading information with Altair personnel. Contact Compliance if any third-party money manager shares trading information with you ahead of the third-party money manager's trades. |
| **10.07 *Preclearance*** | **10.07 *Preclearance*** |
| Access Persons are not required to preclear trades in Reportable Securities, with the exception transactions within Limited Offerings as described below.<br>Access Persons or their Immediate Family that desire to purchase or sell Limited Offerings, including private funds or investments in private companies, must receive written preclearance from Compliance via MCO. | Altair has determined its business model presents a sufficiently low risk to not require preclearance of most Reportable Security trades within Personal Accounts. However, Compliance retains the right to require preclearance of trades as it deems appropriate.<br>Preclearance of a trade is valid and in effect only for the time period allotted by Compliance (generally 30 days for Limited Offerings). If, after receiving preclearance for a trade, you become aware of facts or circumstances that would prevent the proposed transaction from being precleared by Compliance, you must advise Compliance and seek their direction prior to taking any action with respect to the proposed transaction. |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| No Access Person may approve his or her own preclearance requests.<br>A request for preclearance may be declined at Compliance's discretion, including if Compliance determines that the:<br> ● Access Person may potentially benefit from the transaction; or<br> ● The transaction conflicts with or appears to conflict with, a position of a Client. | The CCO or his/her designee will approve preclearance requests, and a member of Altair's Compliance Committee will approve a preclearance request of the CCO.<br>After an Access Person has formally requested preclearance, the Access Person will receive notification through MCO whether the requested transaction has been cleared. |
| **10.08 *Automatic Investment Plans*** | **10.08 *Automatic Investment Plans*** |
| Purchasing Reportable Securities under an "**Automatic Investment Plan**" does not require preclearance or reporting of these transactions on a quarterly basis. However:<br> 1. All holdings are required to be included within the Access Persons' annual holdings reports; and<br> 2. The initial transaction(s) following changes to an Automatic Investment Plan must be reported through MCO. | The policy is intended to make it easier for employees to engage in Automatic Investment Plan activity, including automatic purchases of securities within Altair's 401k plan.<br>Do not forget to report the following through MCO:<br> ● Holdings annually of all Reportable Securities purchased within an Automatic Investment Plan.<br> ● Initial transaction(s) quarterly following changes to an Automatic Investment Plan. |

D. Reporting Requirements

Reports are required to be submitted via the MCO. See Compliance if you are not able to manually input your holdings, Personal Accounts or Reportable Securities transactions directly into MCO.

| **10.09 *Limited Personal Brokerages*** | **10.09 *Limited Personal Brokerages*** |
| Unless approved by Compliance, employees are required to transfer their Personal Accounts to Charles Schwab ("**Schwab**") to improve Altair's compliance monitoring processes.<br>Access Persons maintaining their Personal Accounts at Schwab must authorize Schwab to electronically download their Reportable Securities holdings, Reportable Securities transactions and Personal Accounts (including accounts over which they have Beneficial Interest and accounts of their Immediate Family) periodically to Compliance via MCO. | You are required to hold your Personal Accounts at Schwab unless otherwise approved by Compliance.<br>As an additional option, you may elect to convert such non-Schwab accounts to a Managed Account (a discretionary account managed by a third-party adviser), thereby eliminating potential reporting and monitoring issues. |

|:---|:---|
| **Policy/Practices** | **Employee Implementation Commentary** |
| As described throughout this policy, any Personal Account which is not retained at Schwab will require the Access Person to manually input relevant holdings and account activity and attach a copy of relevant statements directly into MCO. | Reporting requirements under this Code are intended to identify conflicts of interest that could arise and to promote compliance with this Code.<br>The reporting requirements of this Code apply to you and to members of your Immediate Family. |
| **10.10 *Personal Accounts*** | **10.10 *Personal Accounts*** |
| The Policy covers Personal Accounts in which the Access Person has a Beneficial Interest, which include:<br> 1. Personal Accounts of Access Persons;<br> 2. Personal Accounts of Immediate Family members; and<br> 3. All other accounts for which the Access Person has Investment Authority. | You are required to report via Schwab all Personal Accounts which are eligible to invest in Reportable Securities, whether or not you choose to invest in Reportable Securities. For example, you are required to report a Personal Account which only holds open-end mutual funds, as that Personal Account may invest in other Reportable Securities.<br>See the definition of "Investment Authority" at section 10.19 for further clarification. |
| **10.11 *Holdings and Accounts Report* – Initial and Annual** | **10.11 *Holdings and Accounts Report* – Initial and Annual** |
| Access Persons are required to submit reports listing all Reportable Securities in which the Access Person or their Immediate Family has a Beneficial Interest, including securities held in all Personal Accounts:<br> 1. The Initial Holdings Report must be submitted via MCO within 10 calendar days upon becoming an Access Person.<br> 2. The Annual Holdings Report must be submitted via MCO by February 14 following year-end.<br>Alternatively, Access Persons may manually input the necessary information along with a scanned copy of the relevant statements directly into MCO. | Refer to the Personal Securities Transactions Chart included as Appendix A to identify which instruments require reporting.<br>Practically speaking, if you do not have an existing Schwab account, you will likely not be able to open a Schwab account before your start of employment.

| B. Automatic Investment Plan<br> A program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) Personal Accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. | Automatic Investment Plans typically include:<br> ● Dividend reinvestment plans; and<br> ● 401k/other company-sponsored retirement plans with an automatic investment option. |
| C. Beneficial Interest<br> The opportunity through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, to directly or indirectly profit or share in any profit derived from a Reportable Security.

Immediate Family includes adoptive relationships, and any other relationship (whether or not recognized by law) which Compliance determines could lead to possible conflicts of interest, diversions of corporate opportunity, or appearances of impropriety which this Code is intended to prevent. | As a general rule, any family member living within your household is subject to the Code's personal trading restrictions and reporting. Please see Compliance if you are unsure whether another family member should be subject to the Code. |
| H. Initial Public Offering ("**IPO**")<br> An offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by an issuer who immediately before the registration of such securities was not subject to the reporting requirements of sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |  |

| O. Reportable Security<br> A security as defined in Section 202(a)(18) of the Advisers Act, including all financial instruments covered under this policy, regardless of their classification of a "security" under applicable law. Reportable Securities include:<br> ● Stocks, notes, bonds, debentures, and other evidence of indebtedness (including loan participations and assignments), limited partnership interests, investment contracts, and all derivative instruments of the foregoing, such as options and warrants; | If you are interested in maintaining an investment portfolio without the need to report your activity to Compliance, you should consider investing in instruments specifically excluded from the definition of Reportable Security within Personal Accounts which are not eligible to hold Reportable Securities. An open-end mutual fund account opened directly with the mutual fund family may serve this purpose. |

## Exhibit 99.28

**Driehaus Capital Management LLC Driehaus Mutual Funds**

**Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC**

**<u>CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT</u>**

**<u>Statement of General Policy and Business Principles</u>**

This Code of Ethics and Business Conduct ("Code") has been adopted under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Rule 17j-1") and Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Rule 204A-1"). Rule 17j-1 is applicable because Driehaus Capital Management LLC (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Driehaus Mutual Funds (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"), a registered investment company. The Code also applies to any registered investment company for which the Adviser may serve as an investment adviser or sub-adviser. The Code covers all Employees of the Adviser and Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC (collectively the "Firm," "we" or "us"); the Funds' Disinterested Trustees and Advisory Board Members; and others as may be designated from time to time by the Firm (each such individual an "Access Person" and collectively "Access Persons").<sup>1</sup> Our Employees are also subject to the Firm's policies and procedures, including the compliance manuals and employee handbooks that are readily accessible on our Firm's intranet, which may impose additional restrictions on their conduct, including personal securities transactions.

The Code is specifically and reasonably designed for how we conduct our activities and addresses the particular types of conflicts of interest that we may encounter. A long-standing core business principle of our Firm is our commitment to maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards in the conduct of our business consistent with our fiduciary duty to place the interest of our Clients first at all times. We have built our reputation for excellence on Client trust and confidence in our professional abilities and integrity. The Code seeks to prevent Employee misuse of material non-public information regarding current and prospective investments we make for our Clients, investment research we perform for our Clients and actual and proposed trading on behalf of our Clients. Together with this Code, we have adopted and implemented various internal policies and procedures to detect and prevent the misuse of material non-public information. Compliance with this Code as well as additional policies and procedures is monitored and enforced by our legal and compliance professionals, who are supported by our strong "culture of compliance." Failure to comply with this Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment.

Integral to our investment management process is "real time" internal sharing of information by the Adviser's portfolio managers and research analysts ("Investment Personnel"). Investment Personnel are required to systematically enter research information about long-only equity securities held by or under consideration for purchase or sale for a Client, in our Internal Research Notes database ("IRN") before placing any orders in our Order Management System ("OMS") for execution. The data in the IRN is accessible to, among others, Employees and Investment Personnel responsible for the Firm's investment and trading activities on behalf of our Clients. Investment Personnel are not required to use the IRN for other types of securities, such as bonds, options and swaps, as they cannot be entered into this system. However, information sharing occurs on a regular and continuous basis among the portfolio management teams. The Adviser believes that no strategy is disadvantaged despite this limitation because of the marked differences between the portfolio holdings of the equity-only strategies and those that utilize other types of securities, such as bonds, options and swaps. Transactions are monitored by the Legal and Compliance Department for potential conflicts of interest with our Clients and the results of such monitoring are reported to the Ethics Committee.

<sup>1</sup> Capitalized terms used in the Code are defined when first used or in Section 1 of the Code.

We believe that these information sharing and trading procedures, along with comprehensive Employee education and training, personal securities transaction reporting, compliance monitoring and the imposition of sanctions, where appropriate, work collectively to ensure that, as fiduciaries, we and all Access Persons do not place our interests above our Clients' interests and comply with the applicable Federal securities laws, rules and regulations.

Any questions regarding the Code's operation should be directed to the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). Throughout the Code, there are also specific references to the assistance that the CCO can provide to Access Persons. The CCO shall act in accordance with the Firm's policies and procedures, the Code, guidance from the Ethics Committee and in consultation with counsel.

Access Persons are required at all times to comply with the Federal Securities Laws as applicable in conducting the business of the Firm or the Fund. Accordingly, a violation of the Federal Securities Laws will be a violation of this Code and may subject an Access Person to sanctions or other appropriate remedial action under the Code.

In addition, as a SEC registered investment adviser subject to the Advisers Act, the Adviser has fiduciary obligations to its Clients. Further, the Code requires that the conduct of Access Persons comply with the fundamental principles of integrity, honesty and trust.

The Code is designed to ensure that Access Persons understand and comply with their fiduciary obligations and to protect Clients by deterring misconduct. The Code also educates Access Persons about the expectations of the Firm and the Fund regarding their behavior and the Federal Securities Laws that govern their conduct, as applicable.

The Code and related policies and procedures contain provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from engaging in acts in violation of the Code. Access Persons are required to report any violations of the Code to the CCO. The CCO is primarily responsible for monitoring compliance with the Code and reporting material violations of the Code to the Ethics Committee to ensure the Code's enforcement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>TRANSACTIONS WITH A FUND</u> 

No Access Person shall sell to, or purchase from, a Fund any security or other property (except merchandise in the ordinary course of business), in which such Access Person has or would acquire a Beneficial Interest, unless such purchase or sale involves shares of that Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION</u> 

No Access Person shall discuss with or otherwise inform others of any security held or to be acquired by a Client except in the performance of employment duties or in an official capacity and then only for the benefit of the Client, and in no event for Personal Benefit or for the benefit of others.

No Access Person shall release information to dealers or brokers or others (except to those concerned with the execution and settlement of a transaction) as to any changes in a Client's investments, proposed or in process, except (i) upon the completion of such changes, or (ii) when the disclosure results from the publication of a prospectus or pursuant to the Funds' or any Sub-Advised Funds' Selective Disclosure of Fund Holdings Policy or (iii) in conjunction with a regular report to shareholders or to any governmental authority resulting in such information becoming public knowledge, or (iv) in connection with any report to which shareholders are entitled by reason of provisions of the declaration of trust, by-laws, rules and regulations, contracts or similar documents governing the operations of the Client.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT, GIFTS AND BUSINESS ENTERTAINMENT</u> 

As fiduciaries to the Firm's Clients, Employees must always place the Firm's Clients' interests first and Employees are prohibited from allowing gifts or entertainment opportunities to influence the actions they take on behalf of the Firm's Clients. Employees are prohibited from soliciting, seeking, or accepting favors, preferential treatment, gifts, entertainment opportunities, charitable or political contributions for themselves, on behalf of Clients, prospects, or others, or from receiving any other Personal Benefit arising from their association with the Firm or a Client.

*Gifts and Business Entertainment from Broker-Dealers*. Employees are prohibited from accepting from any source, including broker-dealers, any compensation, including gifts or entertainment, for the purchase or sale of any property, including securities and other portfolio holdings, to or for a Client. This includes compensation, including gifts or entertainment, from companies in which Clients may invest.

● This includes, but is not limited to, receipt of all gifts from broker-dealers (not including branded promotional items of de minimis value, i.e., less than $25), attendance at dinners hosted by broker-dealers that do not serve a valid and direct business purpose or benefit to a Client, and <u>all</u> concerts, sporting events, cocktail parties, golf outings and other similar events or performances hosted by broker-dealers.

● This prohibition does <u>not</u> include on- or off-site meetings and conferences that serve a valid and direct business purpose or benefit to a Client (e.g., road shows, meetings with investment strategists, economists, company management, etc.) that may also include incidental meals hosted by a broker-dealer as such incidental meals are not provided by the broker-dealer as compensation for the purchase or sale of any property to or for a Client.

*Gifts from all other non-broker-dealer vendors*. Employees may only accept gifts of nominal value (i.e., less than $100) from current or prospective vendors that are not engaged in the business of purchasing or selling property to or for Clients, (i.e., vendors that are not broker-dealers). Employees may only accept such gifts when the value involved clearly will not place the Employee under any real or perceived obligation to the gift-giver or raise any question of impropriety.

● Under no circumstances may an Employee accept a gift of cash, including a cash equivalent such as a gift certificate or a security, regardless of the amount.

● If an Employee receives a gift that violates the Code, they must return the gift or consult with the CCO to determine appropriate action under the circumstances, which can include donating such gift to charity.

*Business entertainment from all other non-broker-dealer vendors*. In addition to the receipt of gifts, attendance at dinners, cocktail parties, golf outings, sporting events, theater and other similar events or performances also may create or appear to create a conflict of interest between the Firm and its Clients. Attendance at such events where the person offered the invitation and the person extending the invitation are both in attendance and discuss business benefitting a Client (e.g., the purpose of the outing is relationship building or is otherwise business-related) is considered "business entertainment."

● No Employee shall seek or accept any business entertainment from any person or entity that does business with the Firm or a Client or that is seeking to do business with the Firm or a Client other than usual and customary business entertainment that is not excessive in value.

● If an Employee is unsure as to whether something might be considered excessive in value, he or she must check with the CCO or another member of the Firm's Legal and Compliance Department prior to accepting the usual and customary business entertainment.

*Reporting*. Employees are required to promptly report all gifts and business entertainment to the CCO no later than thirty days after the calendar quarter during which the business entertainment took place. Such reporting should be made through ComplianceAlpha. The CCO shall report any exceptions to the gifts and business entertainment policy to the Ethics Committee for appropriate action consistent with enforcement of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>CONFLICTS OF INTEREST</u> 

The Adviser, as a fiduciary, has an affirmative duty of care, loyalty, honesty and good faith to act in the best interests of its Clients. This duty includes fully disclosing all material facts concerning any conflicts that arise with respect to any Client. If any Access Person is aware of a personal interest that is, or might be, in conflict with the interest of a Client, that Access Person should disclose the situation or transaction and the nature of the conflict to the CCO for appropriate consideration by the Ethics Committee. The Ethics Committee may consult with counsel with respect to any appropriate action that should be taken. Employees should refer to the Adviser's Conflicts of Interest Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR</u> 

Employees are prohibited from serving on the boards of directors of unaffiliated for-profit or not-for-profit corporations, business trusts or similar business entities, whether or not their securities are publicly traded, absent prior written approval by the Ethics Committee, based upon a determination that the board service would not be inconsistent with the interests of the Firm and its Clients. Copies of all written approvals obtained under this paragraph must be provided to and maintained by the CCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION</u> 

Securities laws and regulations prohibit the misuse of material non-public information when trading or recommending securities.

Material non-public information obtained by any Access Person from any source must be kept strictly confidential. All material non-public information should be kept secure, and access to files and computer files containing such information should be restricted. Access Persons shall not act upon or disclose material non-public information except as may be necessary for legitimate business purposes on behalf of a Client or the Firm as appropriate. Questions and requests for assistance regarding material non-public information should be promptly directed to the CCO.

Material non-public information may include, but is not limited to, knowledge of pending orders or research recommendations, corporate finance activity, mergers or acquisitions, and other material non-public information that could reasonably be expected to affect the price of a security.

Client account information and Fund shareholder account information are also confidential and must not be discussed with any individual whose responsibilities do not require knowledge of such information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL SECURITY TRANSACTIONS</u> 

No Access Person shall knowingly take unlawful advantage of his or her position with the Firm or with its Clients, for Personal Benefit, or take action inconsistent with such Access Person's obligations to the Firm, or any Client. All personal securities transactions must be consistent with this Code and must be conducted in a manner designed to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of any Access Person's position of trust and responsibility. Any transaction effected with the purpose of profiting as a result of one or more transactions effected or anticipated for a Client ("scalping" or "frontrunning") is prohibited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>All Employees</u>:

Employees are prohibited in transacting in Covered Securities absent an exception. Employees are not required to close out existing individual equity securities positions held at the commencement of their employment. However, any Employee wishing to sell a Covered Security, other than Permitted Investments, owned prior to employment must first request and receive preclearance through the ComplianceAlpha system. Transactions receiving approval must be executed the same day preclearance is granted. No Employee shall sell a Covered Security within seven calendar days before or after a Client trade in that Covered Security. The fifteen day blackout restriction shall not apply to the following unless the Ethics Committee determines that the conduct is inconsistent with the Code or the Federal Securities Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. "Permitted Investments"
Transactions may be effected in U.S. Government and government agency securities, municipal bonds, foreign currency, index, commodity
and currency based futures contracts, bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high quality
short-term debt instruments including repurchase agreements and shares of U.S. registered open-end investment companies, closed-end funds,
non-single stock ETFs, ETNs and ETCs, all digital assets (cryptocurrency and cryptoassets).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. "Investment Companies" Transactions may be effected
in U.S. registered closed-end investment companies and foreign registered open-end and closed-end investment companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. "Managed Accounts" Transactions may be effected in a
Managed Account as long as the account is managed on a discretionary basis and/or that you (or, if applicable, your spouse or domestic
partner) do not exercise investment discretion or otherwise have direct or indirect influence or control over investment decisions. Managed
Accounts must receive pre-approval from and be reported to the Legal and Compliance Department along with written confirmation from the
manager, investment adviser or trustee managing the account, who may not be affiliated with the Firm or the Fund, that it is managed
on a discretionary basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)  **<u>Limited Offerings and Initial Public Offerings</u>:** No Employee shall directly or indirectly
acquire a Beneficial Interest in Limited Offering securities or securities in an Initial Public Offering without the prior consent of
the Ethics Committee. Consideration will be given to whether the opportunity should be reserved for a Client. The Ethics Committee will
review these proposed investments on a case-by-case basis except for those circumstances in which advance general approval may be appropriate
because it is clear that conflicts are very unlikely to arise due to the nature of the opportunity for investing in the Initial Public
Offering or Limited Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)  **<u>Related Instruments</u>:** When anything in this section 9 prohibits the purchase or sale of a
security, it also prohibits the purchase or sale of any related securities, such as puts, calls, other options or rights in such securities
and securities-based futures contracts and any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)  **<u>Spousal and Domestic Partner Accounts:</u>** An Employee's spouse or domestic partner is
not prohibited from buying or selling Covered Securities for his or her own account. However, the Employee may **not** participate
in the investment decisions of his/her spouse or domestic partner, either directly or indirectly.  **<u>The Employee's spouse or domestic partner must provide the Adviser with trade confirmations and quarterly account statements.</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)  **<u>Disinterested Trustees and Advisory Board Members</u>:** No Disinterested
Trustee or Advisory Board Member of a Fund shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any Covered Security in which he or
she has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership or interest when the Disinterested Trustee
or Advisory Board Member knows that securities of the same class are being purchased or sold or are being considered for purchase or sale
by the Fund, until such time as the Fund's transactions have been completed or consideration of such transaction is abandoned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)  **<u>Sanction Guidelines</u>:** Unless an exception exists, if an Access Person trades in violation
of this section 9, the Ethics Committee will determine the appropriate sanction consistent with the Sanction Guidelines of the Code, which
may include disgorgement of profits to a charity selected by the Ethics Committee. A copy of the Sanction Guidelines will be provided
to the Fund's Board of Trustees annually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. <u>PRECLEARANCE AND REPORTING PROCEDURES</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Preclearance Requirement. All Employees must receive prior approval for all purchases and sales of shares of Driehaus Mutual Funds
and Sub-Advised Funds, initial purchases of all Limited Offerings other than Firm-affiliated limited partnerships, and the sale of all
Covered Securities held prior to employment with the Firm that are not Permitted Investments. All preclearance approvals shall be valid
for the same day preclearance is granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)  **<u>Reports - All Access Persons</u>:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) <u>Brokerage confirmations and statements</u>: Each Access Person must provide to the Firm's CCO
identifying information for  **<u>all securities or commodities brokerage accounts in which that Access Person has a Beneficial Interest (including Spousal and Domestic Partner accounts) including in any Managed Accounts. This includes accounts that hold shares of the Fund or a Sub-Advised Fund, other than holding of such funds in the Driehaus 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan.</u>** Before opening any brokerage
account, including a Managed Account, each Access Person shall enter the account information into the ComplianceAlpha system or otherwise
provide the information required to the CCO of the Firm. The CCO will arrange to receive trade confirmations and monthly/quarterly account
statements from the Access Person's broker-dealer, bank and/or financial institution directly through ComplianceAlpha. If a direct
feed is not available in ComplianceAlpha, Access Persons are required to upload paper statements into the ComplianceAlpha system.

To the extent that a security transaction in which an Access Person has any Beneficial Interest or ownership is not reported on brokerage confirmations and statements either in hard copy or through ComplianceAlpha such transaction must be reported to the Firm's CCO as part of the quarterly transactions report set forth in section 10(b)(2).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) <u>Initial and Annual Holdings Reports and Quarterly Transactions Reports</u>: Each Access Person must
provide a holdings report for Covered Securities and shares of the Fund and Sub-Advised Funds within 10 days after becoming an Access
Person (an "Initial Holdings Report") and annually thereafter (an "Annual Holdings Report"). The Annual Holdings
Report must be current within 45 days of the date of the report, and should be made through ComplianceAlpha. Any supplemental supporting
documentation should be submitted to the CCO in hard copy, if necessary. This requirement includes Spousal and Domestic Partner Accounts,
Managed Accounts and any account in which an Access Person has a Beneficial Interest, other than the Driehaus 401(k) and Profit Sharing
Plan.

Each Access Person must also provide a quarterly transaction report within 30 days after the close of a quarter for each transaction during the quarter in a Covered Security and shares of the Fund and Sub-Advised Funds other than transactions in the Driehaus 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, in which the Access Person had any Beneficial Interest, including Spousal and Domestic Partner Accounts and Managed Accounts, and provide information for any account established by the Access Person, Spouse or Domestic Partner during the quarter that holds Covered Securities or shares of the Fund or Sub-Advised Funds other than accounts established in the Driehaus 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. The quarterly transaction reports and new account disclosure should be made through ComplianceAlpha. Any supplemental supporting documentation should be submitted to the CCO in hard copy, if necessary.

Each report must state the title, number of shares and principal amount of each Covered Security in which the Access Person had any Beneficial Interest, the broker/dealer, bank and/or financial institution maintaining the account for the Access Person in which any securities were held for the benefit of the Access Person, and the date that the report is submitted by the Access Person. In addition, the quarterly transaction report must state the date of the transaction, the interest rate and maturity date of the Covered Security (if applicable), the nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or other), the purchase or sale price, and the date the account was established if established in the current reporting quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Exceptions to Reporting</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Access Persons need not file a quarterly transaction report if the information would duplicate information
that the CCO received in a broker's confirmation or account statement or that is contained in the records of the Firm, including
within ComplianceAlpha.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) An Access Person need not make a quarterly transaction report hereunder with respect to transactions effected
pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Access Persons are not required to provide initial or annual holdings reports, or quarterly brokerage
confirmations and statements on digital assets (cryptocurrency and cryptoassets).

Access Persons are not required to provide initial or annual holdings reports or quarterly confirmations and statements for the Driehaus Companies 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, or for Driehaus Mutual Funds held directly at Northern Trust, the Fund's Transfer Agent.

Disinterested Trustee or Advisory Board Member who would be required to make a report referenced in Section 10(b) solely by virtue of being a Trustee or Advisory Board Member is not required to make a report unless Section 10(d)(1) applies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) An Access Person who is not an Employee of the Firm may provide required reports to the CCO in hard copy
in lieu of using ComplianceAlpha.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Reports - Disinterested Trustees and Advisory Board Members</u>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) A Disinterested Trustee or Advisory Board Member must provide a quarterly report to the Ethics Committee
of any purchase or sale of any Covered Security in which such person has, or by virtue of such transaction acquires, any Beneficial Interest
if at the time of the transaction the Disinterested Trustee or Advisory Board Member knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his
or her official duties as a Trustee or Advisory Board Member of a Fund should have known that, on the date of the transaction or within
15 days before or after the transaction, purchase or sale of that class of security was made or considered for the Fund. The form of the
report must conform to the provisions of subsection (b)(2) above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) This subsection (d) shall not apply to non-volitional purchases and sales, such as dividend reinvestment
programs or "calls" or redemptions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Review of Reports</u>:

The CCO of the Firm or a designee of the CCO will review reports submitted by Access Persons, except no person shall be permitted to review his or her own reports. Any report required to be filed shall not be construed as an admission by the person making such report that he/she has any direct or indirect Beneficial Interest in the security to which the report relates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. <u>ETHICS COMMITTEE</u> 

The Ethics Committee will take whatever action it deems necessary and appropriate, consistent with its Sanction Guidelines, with respect to any Access Person of the Firm or the Fund other than as noted below who violates any provision of this Code, and will inform the Fund's Board of Trustees as to the nature of such violation and the action taken by the Committee. However, any information received by the Ethics Committee relating to questionable practices or transactions by a Disinterested Trustee or an Advisory Board Member of a Fund shall immediately be forwarded to the Audit Committee of the Fund for that committee's consideration and such action as it, in its sole judgment, shall deem warranted.

At least once a year, each Fund, the Adviser must provide a written report prepared by the Ethics Committee to the Fund's Board of Trustees that describes any issues arising under the Code or procedures since the last report to the Board of Trustees, including, but not limited to, information about material violations of the Code or procedures and sanctions imposed in response to the material violations. The report will also certify to the Board of Trustees that each Fund and the Firm each have adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code. The Report should also address any significant conflicts of interest that arose involving the Fund and Firm's personal investment policies, even if the conflicts have not resulted in a violation of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. <u>WAIVERS</u> 

The Ethics Committee may, in its discretion, waive compliance with any provision of the Code after considering whether the waiver (i) is necessary or appropriate to alleviate undue hardship, or in view of unforeseen circumstances, (ii) will not be inconsistent with the purposes and policies of the Code; (iii) will not adversely affect the interests of any Client or the interests of the Firm and/or (iv) will not result in a transaction or conduct that would violate provisions of applicable laws or rules. Normally, all waiver applications must be made in advance and in writing. A written record shall be kept of all waivers granted by the Ethics Committee, including a brief summary of the reasons for the waiver.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. <u>CODE REVISIONS</u> 

Any material changes to this Code will be approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees prior to the effective date of such changes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. <u>RECORD KEEPING REQUIREMENTS</u> 

The Firm shall maintain records, at its principal place of business, of the following: a copy of each Code in effect during the past five years; a record of any violation of the Code and any action taken as a result of the violation for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the violation occurs; a copy of each report made by Access Persons as required in this Code, including any information provided in place of the reports during the past five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the report is made or the information is provided; a copy of each Fund trustee report made during the past five years; a copy of each Acknowledgment of the Code made by Access Persons during the past five years; a record of all Access Persons required to make reports currently and during the past five years; a record of all who are or were responsible for reviewing these reports during the past five years; and, for at least five years after approval, a record of any decision and the reasons supporting that decision, to approve an Access Person's purchase of a New Issue or a Limited Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. <u>CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE</u> 

All Access Persons shall conduct themselves at all times in the best interests of Clients. Compliance with the Code is a condition of employment or continued affiliation with a Fund or the Firm. Conduct not in accordance with the Code is grounds for sanctions which may include, but are not limited to, a reprimand, a restriction on activities, disgorgement, termination of employment or removal from office. All Access Persons shall certify initially upon employment and annually thereafter to the Ethics Committee that they have read and agree to comply in all respects with this Code and that they have disclosed or reported all personal securities transactions, holdings and accounts required to be disclosed or reported by this Code.

Effective: September 10, 2025

| **Chapter 1:** | **About Code of Ethics** |

---

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Rule 204A-1, issued under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, requires all SEC registered investment advisers to establish, maintain and enforce a written Code of Ethics (the Code).

At a minimum, the Code must include provisions about standards of conduct, compliance with federals securities laws, reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings, duty to report violations, and the Firm's obligation to periodically distribute the Code.

**The Purpose of the Code**

***…the Code must include provisions about:***

●  ***standards of conduct*** 

●  ***compliance with federals securities laws*** 

●  ***reporting of personal securities transactions and holdings*** 

●  ***duty to report violations*** 

●  ***the Firm's obligation to periodically distribute the Code*** 

As an SEC Registered Investment Adviser <sup>(\*)</sup>, Pier Capital, LLC (Pier) is required to adopt a written Code of Ethics to ensure the Firm's supervised persons understand and follow their regulatory responsibilities and obligations that arise, or may arise, because of their employment at a regulated financial institution.

From a very high level, the Code of Ethics provides Pier's staff information regarding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Expected ethical conduct and fiduciary duty obligation to clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Applicable federal securities laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Firm's policy regarding personal securities transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The Firm's requirements to monitor personal activities of
its staff that may conflict with fiduciary duty obligations.

Finally, the Code of Ethics, and its amendments, must be designed to promote the fiduciary standards which are required of investment firms and their personnel.

*<sup>(\*)</sup>* *Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training.*

 

**Persons Covered by the Code**

Most of the Code of Ethics regulation applies to "supervised persons" of an investment advisory firm. However, the regulation also sets forth additional requirements for "access persons" of an investment advisory firm to report their personal securities and holdings.

Page 5 of 57

It is important to understand the definitions of these terms, as they are used in the regulation and in this document:

● *A supervised person is* any officer, partner, director (or a person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or an employee of an investment adviser, or any other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the firm and is subject to the firm's supervision or control.

● *An access person is* a "supervised person" who has access to non-public client information or information regarding client securities transactions, or is involved in making securities recommendations, or who is an owner or a control person of the firm.

Pier recognizes that its staff has a broad scope of responsibilities with a need to access various systems to perform their job functions. As such, barriers to and control of sensitive client and securities information are difficult to establish to cover every circumstance. Therefore, all supervised persons at Pier are also considered to be access persons. This means that the entire staff at Pier is bound by and must comply with all the provisions of the Firm's Code of Ethics, including the Personal Trading policy, which is outlined in detail in the later sections of this document.

***All supervised persons at Pier are also considered to be access persons.***

 ****

***This means that the entire staff at Pier must comply with the Firm's Personal Trading policy.***

**Review and Enforcement of the Code** 

The Code of Ethics regulation requires that advisers maintain and enforce their Codes of Ethics. At Pier, the Firm's CCO has the primary responsibility for the enforcement of the Code. Enforcement of the Code includes, among other things:

o Annually providing supervised persons of the Firm with a copy of the Code (and any subsequent amendments to it) and obtaining a written
acknowledgement that it was received, understood, and is, and will continue to be, complied with.

o Requiring that the Firm's CCO periodically reviews the Code as well as any reports made by the Firm's staff pursuant to
it, which includes personal securities investments held and made by the Firm's supervised persons.

o Require access persons to provide a complete list of personal investment accounts.

o Evaluating and responding to pre-clearance requests for activities that create an actual or potential conflict of interests, as outlined
in the Code.

o Providing staff with periodic education and training about the Code.

o Ensuring that the Code is described in the Firm's Form ADV 2A, Item 11 and includes an offer to provide, upon request, a complete
copy of its Code to an investment advisory client.

o Maintaining records related to the Code for the required period (typically five years) such as: lists of access persons, reports and
certifications made by supervised persons, violations and corrective actions, decisions and supporting reasons to approve an investment
in an IPO or private placements.

***Annually providing a copy of the Code and obtaining a written acknowledgement that it was received, understood, and is and will be complied with.***

| **Chapter 2:** | **Standards of Conduct and Compliance with the Law** |

---

Pier places the utmost importance on ethical conduct and challenges all its supervised persons to live up not only to the letter of the law, but also to the high ethical standards required by the Firm.

**Standards of Conduct**

One of the underlying themes of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 is ethics and fiduciary duty. Likewise, Pier requires that the Firm's supervised persons avoid situations that involve or appear to involve conflicts of interest. All supervised persons at Pier are required to behave ethically, always placing the interests of the clients ahead of their own personal interests.

***All supervised persons at Pier are required to conduct themselves in an ethical and honest manner, always placing the interests of the Firm's clients ahead of their own personal interests.***

This is accomplished by preclearing and reporting of personal activities that may be viewed as conflicting with the best interests of the Firm's clients. Examples of such activities are listed in the subsequent sections of this document; however, these are not all exhausting and the Firm expects all supervised persons to use their training and judgement in identifying and reporting any other personal activity that is not specifically listed in this document but may be conflicting with the best interests of Pier's clients.

A major theme of the Code of Ethics regulation is the requirement to monitor personal investment activities of access persons to ensure that these individuals do not utilize information obtained because of their position at the Firm to influence a price of a security purchased or sold in their personal accounts.

As such, Pier requires that investment opportunities must be first made available to the Firm's clients (subject to client suitability or investment guidelines) before access persons may act on them for their personal benefit. Specifically, prior to purchasing or selling a security for their own accounts (or for the accounts of their immediate family members), access persons must obtain an advanced approval, as specified in the Code, that the company is not in the process of buying or selling such securities for clients' portfolios. Pier's Personal Trading policy, which is listed later in this document, outlines the required procedures for pre-clearance and reporting of personal transactions.

It is important to note that this fiduciary standard of conduct is expected of Pier's supervised persons not just during business hours but also in non-business activities. Pier requires that all supervised persons act ethically and honestly while at work and report violations of the Code or of the Firm's compliance policies, whether observed or self-executed. Information on reporting rules and obligations is explained in detail in the last section of this document.

Page 8 of 57

***Failure to comply with the Firm's standards of conduct will be taken very seriously and can lead to an immediate termination of employment.***

Pier also expects that all its staff members conduct themselves with professionality, honesty, and fairness when dealing with each other, the Firm's clients, vendors, and even competitors and adhere to the Firm's regulations and policies as outlined in the various business policy manuals.

Failure to comply with the Firm's standards of conduct will be taken very seriously and can lead to an immediate termination of employment. Some examples of prohibited conduct are listed below. Supervised persons should note that this list is not meant to be all inclusive.

1. Acts of dishonesty, including but not limited to, theft or misappropriation of money, supplies, information, equipment, or time.

2. Any act which calls into question the integrity, such as falsification of business records and documents, competing in business with
Pier, divulging trade secrets or confidential information, or engaging in any unethical conduct which may affect Pier or its reputation.

3. Any act which may create a dangerous situation, such as carrying a weapon on Pier 's premises, assaulting another individual
or disregarding safety standards.

4. The use, possession or sale of intoxicating beverages, illicit narcotics, drugs or controlled substances while at work, or reporting
to work under the influence or in a condition not fit for work.

5. Unreasonable refusal to perform a job assignment, insubordination or discourteous conduct toward customers, associates, or supervisors.

6. Failure to adhere to attendance or time-keeping regulations, including excessive absenteeism or tardiness.

7. Violations of Pier 's harassment policy.

8. Criminal conviction related to job duties.

**Fiduciary Duty**

The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act") lays out the two basic fiduciary duties that all investment advisers owe to their clients: 1) the duty of care, and 2) the duty of loyalty. It is important to understand that the adviser's fiduciary duty cannot be waived and is enforceable through section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act. The intent behind an advisers' fiduciary duty requirement is to eliminate or to mitigate conflicts of interest which might cause an adviser to provide investment advice that may not be impartial, whether the adviser acted consciously or not.

As an investment adviser, Pier and Pier's supervised persons have an obligation to comply with fiduciary duty requirements and provide clients with a duty of care and loyalty.

Page 9 of 57

**Duty of Care:**

An investment adviser is a fiduciary that owes its clients a duty of care, which includes three main components summarized below.

1. The duty to provide disinterested advice that is in the best interest of the client:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers must have a reasonable understanding and make a reasonable inquiry into the client's financial objectives, by initially
meeting or discussing with the client and documenting the client's investment objectives, goals, and financial situation and periodically
inquiring to assess changes in the client's financial situation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers must reasonably believe that the investment advice rendered is in the best interest of the client.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers must conduct a reasonable investigation into the investment.

2. The duty to seek best execution of a client's transactions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers must seek the most favorable execution terms reasonably available given the specific circumstances of each trade.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers should analyze the value of research provided as well as execution capability, commission rate, financial responsibility,
responsiveness to the adviser, and other applicable circumstances.

3. The duty to provide ongoing monitoring:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers should "periodically and systematically" evaluate their execution methods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Advisers must provide advice and monitoring at a frequency that is in the best interest of the client, considering the scope of the
agreed relationship.

***Fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care imposed by the law.***

***A breach of fiduciary duty is the most serious transgression an adviser can commit.***

 

***Even an inadvertent breach of fiduciary duty can result in serious legal, financial, or regulatory consequences to the Firm and to the supervised person(s) committing the breach.***

**Duty of Loyalty:**

Another component of the adviser's fiduciary obligation is a duty of loyalty. The duty of loyalty requires that an adviser always puts the client's interest ahead of its own interests. To meet the duty, the adviser must make full and fair disclosures to clients about all material facts that could affect the advisory relationship, to refrain from fraud and misconduct, as well as from making false or misleading statements.

This is accomplished through the written disclosures of potential or actual conflicts of interest as listed in the Firm's Form ADV and/or in the investment advisory agreement with the client. When providing full and fair disclosure about conflicts, the disclosure should be specific enough so that a client is able to understand the material fact or conflict of interest to be able to make an informed decision on whether to consent to the conflict. Additionally, investment advisers owe clients their duty to maintain strict confidentiality and to refrain from fraud and misconduct.

To summarize, a fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care imposed by the law. A breach of fiduciary duty is the most serious transgression an adviser can commit. Even an inadvertent breach of fiduciary duty can result in serious legal, financial, or regulatory consequences to the Firm and to the supervised person(s) committing the breach.

**Compliance with Federal Securities Laws**

***Follow these common-sense ethics principles:***

 ****

o  ***Never defraud a client in any manner.*** 

o  ***Never mislead a client, including by making a statement that omits a material fact.*** 

o  ***Never engage in any act, practice that could result in a fraud or deceit upon a client.*** 

o  ***Never engage in any manipulative practice with respect to a client or securities.*** 

The Code of Ethics regulations requires that all supervised persons comply with applicable federal securities laws which are listed below. All supervised persons are required to comply with the applicable federals securities laws and may not do anything indirectly that would result in a violation of law if done directly.

o The Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a-aa)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Often referred to as the "truth in securities" law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Has two basic objectives: 1) require that investors receive financial and other significant information concerning securities being
offered for public sale; and 2) prohibit deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraud in the sale of securities.

o The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a-mm)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Created the Securities and Exchange Commission empowered with broad authority over all aspects of the securities industry and disciplinary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Enhances required financial disclosures and combats corporate and accounting fraud.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Created the "Public Company Accounting Oversight Board," also known as the PCAOB.

o The Investment Company Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Regulates companies, including mutual funds, that engage in investing, reinvesting, and trading in securities, and whose own securities
are offered to the investing public.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Requires companies to disclose their financial condition and investment policies to investors when stock is initially sold and, subsequently,
on a regular basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Focuses on the disclosure of information about the fund and its investment objectives, as well as on investment company structure
and operations.

o The Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (15 U.S.C. 80b)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Regulates investment advisers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Requires that firms compensated for advising others about securities investments to register with the SEC and conform to regulations
designed to protect investors.

Page 11 of 57

o Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106-102, 113 Stat. 1338 (1999)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Defines "nonpublic personal information" to include personally identifiable financial information (excluding publicly available
information).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Requires financial institutions to establish and maintain a comprehensive information security program.

o The Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. 5311-5314; 5316-5332) as it applies to funds and investment advisers:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Requires financial institutions to establish anti-money laundering programs, which at a minimum must include the development of internal
policies, procedures and controls, designation of a compliance officer, an ongoing employee training program, and an independent audit
function to test programs.

o Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Reshapes the U.S. regulatory system in several areas such as consumer protection, trading restrictions, credit ratings, regulation
of financial products, corporate governance and disclosure, and transparency.

o Any other rules adopted by the SEC or the Department of the Treasury

Pier understands that federal securities laws are vast and wide, and that Pier's supervised persons may have difficulties with understanding these laws in detail. However, this does not nullify the requirements imposed by the Code of Ethics regulation regarding the need to comply with the federal securities laws. Absent the full knowledge of these regulations, Pier's supervised persons are required to adhere to the below, common-sense principles of ethics, which are found in majority of the federal securities laws.

In connection with a purchase or sale of a security, supervised persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly:

o Defrauding a client in any manner.

o Misleading a client, including by making a statement that omits material fact.

o Engaging in any act, practice which would cause fraud or deceit upon a client.

o Engaging in any manipulative practice with respect to a client or securities, including price manipulation.

In addition, all supervised persons must make themselves familiar with the Firm's compliance policies and procedures, and specifically paying attention to policies regarding client privacy, confidentially and anti-money laundering policies as these policies include applicable federal laws.

| **Chapter 3:** | **Protection of Material Nonpublic Information** |

---

**Prohibiting the Use of Material Nonpublic Information**

In 1988, Congress enacted legislation expanding liability for insider trading and "tipping" of inside information. Additionally, the federal securities laws prohibit the use of material nonpublic information (MNPI) by any person in purchasing or selling securities, as well as in the communication of such information to any other person for such use. Furthermore, section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act requires advisers to enforce policies and procedures designed to prevent misuse of material nonpublic information.

***The use of material nonpublic information in purchasing or selling of securities, as well as in the communication of such information is <u>prohibited</u>.***

***<u>Material</u>: information that a reasonable investor would consider important in determining whether to buy, sell or hold securities.***

 

***<u>Non-public</u>: information that has not been effectively disseminated to the investing public.***

A determination as to whether information is material or whether it is nonpublic depends on all the related facts and circumstances. The below definitions should be used in understanding if the information should be considered material or nonpublic information or both.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Material* information is any information that a reasonable
investor would consider important in determining whether to buy, sell or hold securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o *Non-public* information is information that has not been effectively
disseminated to the investing public.

Examples of information that should be considered material include, but is not limited to, dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously related earnings estimates, significant merger, acquisition or divestiture proposals or agreements, major litigation, significant product news and extraordinary management developments.

In addition, material non-public information does not have to relate to just the above-listed types of data points. For example, information about the contents of a forthcoming publication in the financial press that is expected to affect the market price of a security could well be material.

Furthermore, the SEC views the term "material non-public information" as related not only to issuers but also to the adviser's securities recommendations and client securities holdings and transactions. Therefore, information about securities holdings and investment activities in the accounts of Pier's clients is also considered MNPI and it must always be kept confidential.

Accordingly, no supervised person at Pier may use directly or indirectly MNPI in purchasing or selling securities on behalf of the Firm's clients or for their own personal accounts and may not communicate this information to anyone outside or inside of the Firm, unless it is done for the sole purpose of reporting the receipt of MNPI to the Firm's CCO.

Page 14 of 57

Supervised persons are required to report the receipt of actual or suspected material non-public information to the Firm's CCO. Supervised persons should not act on or disclose the suspected material nonpublic information unless they receive an approval from the Firm's CCO. Should it be necessary to clarify if the obtained suspected MNPI meets the materiality definition, the Firm's CCO will conduct and document due diligence review of relevant facts and circumstances to make the determination. If required, due to the complexities associated with determining the "materiality" of nonpublic information, the CCO may require consultation with an independent counsel to make this determination.

 ****

***Supervised persons are required to report the receipt of actual or suspected material non-public information to the Firm's CCO.***

Additional MNPI requirements applicable to Pier's investment research process are outlined in detail in the Firm's Compliance Policies and Procedures manual. Very generally, these requirements include a reporting notification to the Firm's CCO regarding certain types of meetings/calls with insiders of a publicly traded companies and/or research analyst, which must also include a brief comment as to whether any material nonpublic information was discussed or obtained. All supervised persons involved in Pier's investment research process must be familiar with and adhere to the requirements of that policy.

**Confidentiality Requirement**

***Confidential information must be safeguarded from unauthorized disclosure or receipt.***

 

***Confidential information includes information about:***

 ****

o  ***The Firm*** 

o  ***Firm's clients*** 

o  ***Firm's investment decisions*** 

o  ***Security issuers*** 

All confidential information concerning Pier, Pier's clients, Pier's investment decisions that are either considered or made, as well as information about security issuers obtained by Pier's personnel in the course of their employment must be kept strictly confidential and should not be discussed with any person inside or outside of the Firm, except to the extent necessary to perform work for the Firm.

This information should also not be discussed within the company under circumstances where it could be overheard by unauthorized staff members or third parties. Similarly, written confidential information of said nature should be appropriately safeguarded and should not be left where it may be seen by people not authorized to access such information.

Additionally, confidential information may not be disclosed when responding to external inquiries. For example, when disclosing information to the press, or to financial analysts, or other members of the financial community, or to any other third party. It is important that responses to such inquiries made on behalf of Pier are conducted only by authorized individuals. Accordingly, Pier's personnel should not respond to such inquiries unless expressly authorized to do so. To verify authority level, supervised persons should contact the Firm's President or Chief Compliance Officer.

Supervised persons should refer to the Firm's "Whistleblower / Reporting Violations" policy regarding disclosing of information to the regulators. All supervised persons must also be familiar with Pier's Privacy Policy. This document can be found in the Firm's Compliance Policies and Procedures manual, or it can be obtained by request from the Firm's CCO.

Page 15 of 57

Pier expects that all supervised persons comply with the above listed confidentiality policy. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information could result in serious legal or financial consequences for the Firm, even if no improper trading took place as a result. Depending on facts and circumstances, a violation in maintaining confidentiality may constitute grounds for disciplinary action, leading up to and including termination of employment.

The obligation to safeguard sensitive client information does not preclude the Firm from providing necessary information to, for example, persons providing services to the Firm or the account such as brokers, accountants, custodians, and fund transfer agents, or in other circumstances when the client consents.

| **Chapter 4:** | **Personal Trading Policy** |

---

**About the Personal Trading Policy**

The purpose of this policy is to ensure that the Firm's access persons do not benefit from the knowledge about Pier's trading on behalf of its clients, or in any way profit from purchases or sales of securities where the Firm's clients should have benefited first (by trading ahead of or contra clients or preempt an eligible client investment).

Additionally, as defined in Chapter 3 of the Code, supervised persons at Pier are prohibited from using material nonpublic information in personal securities transactions and from disclosing, without prior authorization, of confidential information about the Firm, Firm's clients, and investment decisions, or about the issuing companies Pier is investing in or researching.

**Who Must Comply with Personal Trading Policy**

***Personal Trading policy applies to all employees and owners of the Firm as well as their immediate family members who share their household.***

As discussed in Chapter 1, the Code of Ethics regulation requires that personal investment transactions and holdings of the Firm's access persons be monitored and reviewed. However, the intimate business structure at Pier makes it difficult to completely wall off access to investment information from non-access persons at the Firm.

As a result, for the purposes of the Personal Trading Policy, the Firm decided to treat all staff members as access persons. As such, this Personal Trading policy applies to everyone at Pier -- to all employees and all owners of the Firm. Additionally, per a regulatory requirement, the Firm's Personal Trading policy must also apply to securities investments of the immediate family members sharing the household with Pier's access persons.

Access persons at Pier are required to have duplicates of monthly or quarterly personal investment account statements sent directly to the Firm's CCO. Duplicate statements are also required for all immediate family members who share the same household as Pier's access person, as well as for any account over which Pier's access person is providing advice, such as extended family members or if providing community services involving investment advisory.

*Important definitions:*

 

o *Immediate family members* include: a spouse, domestic partner, children (adopted or fostered), stepchildren, grandchildren,
parents, grandparents, stepparents, siblings, in-laws, and other relatives, as well as trusts or estates in which any immediate family
member has a beneficial interest in or control over.

o *Household members* (referred to above as those with whom Pier's access person shares his or her household) include individuals
residing at the same home address as the Firm's access person.

Page 18 of 57

**Required Holdings Reports**

All access persons are required to provide the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer a complete report of their securities holdings:

o at the time the person becomes an access person, (which can be no later than 10 days after the person becomes an access person)

o at least once a year thereafter

The holdings reports must be current as of a date not more than 45 days prior to the individual becoming an access person (initial report) or the date the report is submitted (annual report). Generally, ongoing annual holdings reports are collected by Pier's Chief Compliance Officer as of December 31<sup>st</sup> of each year.

Initial and annual holdings reports are used to facilitate the assessment of whether an individual's personal securities holdings present a conflict of interest.

***All access persons are required to provide:***

 ****

o  ***a complete report of their securities <u>holdings</u> (initially and annually thereafter)*** 

 ****

o  ***listing all reportable personal securities <u>transaction</u> (no later than 30 days after the close of each calendar quarter)*** 

**Required Transaction Reports**

All access persons are required to provide the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer on at least quarterly basis reports listing all reportable personal securities transactions. These reports are due no later than 30 days after the close of each calendar quarter.

Access persons are exempt from having to provide transaction reports that would duplicate the information contained the account statements that the Firm already holds in its records, provided the Firm has received those statements not later than 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter in which the transaction took place.

**Reportable Securities**

All access persons must submit to the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer holdings and transaction reports for reportable securities. A list of reportable security types is provided below.

Page 19 of 57

1. Securities in which the access person has direct or indirect beneficial ownership.

**Definition:**<br> Rule 204A-1 provides that beneficial ownership is to be interpreted in the same manner as for purposes of rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.<br> The term ***beneficial owner*** shall mean any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares a direct or indirect financial interest in equity securities. Additional exceptions or restrictions may apply. See full rule 16a-1(a)(2) for details,<br>

2. Transactions in mutual funds advised or sub-advised by Firm. This is required by the Code of Ethics regulation to identify abusive
trading by personnel with access to information about a mutual fund's portfolio. Currently Pier sub-advises the following mutual funds:
Adara Smaller Companies Fund (U.S.), Dunham Small Cap Growth Fund (U.S.), and SEB North America Small Cap Fund (foreign).

3. Transactions and holdings in shares of closed-end investment companies are reportable regardless of affiliation with the Firm. The
exception extends only to open-end funds registered in the U.S.; therefore, transactions and holdings in offshore funds is reportable.

4. Any transaction that overrides the pre-set schedule or allocations of the automatic investment plan must be included in a quarterly
transaction report.

5. Access persons mut obtain approval before investing in an initial public offering ("IPO") and all other limited offerings.
Most individuals rarely have an opportunity to invest in these types of securities. Therefore, an access person's IPO or private placement
purchase raises concerns as to whether the employee is misappropriating an investment opportunity that should first be offered to eligible
clients, or whether the person is receiving a personal benefit for directing client business to the brokerage firm facilitating the IPO
or the limited offering. As a result, participation in IPOs (initial public offerings prior to public listing) or in other limited offering
is generally not allowed; however, upon the Firm's management approval, exceptions can be made in cases of family at the issuing
company or in the case of Pier's private fund, the Pier Capital Commingled Small Cap Growth Fund.

***Securities exempt from the reporting requirement:***

 ****

***1) Direct obligations of the Government of the United States.***

***2) Money market instruments***

***3) Mutual funds, only if unaffiliated***

***4) Unit investment trust, investing exclusively investing in unaffiliated mutual funds***

***5) U.S. registered open-ended funds, if unaffiliated***

**Securities Exempt from the Reporting Requirement**

The Code of Ethics regulation (Rule 204A-1) treats all securities as reportable securities, with the below listed five exceptions that present little opportunity improper trading:

1. Transactions and holdings in direct obligations of the Government of the United States.

Page 20 of 57

2. Money market instruments - bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and other high
quality short-term debt instruments.

3. Transactions and holdings in shares of mutual funds unless the Firm acts as the investment adviser or principal underwriter for the

4. Transactions in units of a unit investment trust if the unit investment trust is invested exclusively in unaffiliated mutual funds.

5. U. S. registered open-end funds unless the Firm acts as the investment adviser or sub-adviser.

**Personal Transactions Exempt from the Reporting Requirement**

The Code of Ethics regulations permit three exceptions to personal securities reporting, which are listed below. As such no reporting is required for these specific situations.

1. Transactions effected pursuant to an automatic investment plan.

2. Securities held in accounts over which the access person had no direct or indirect influence or control, such as professionally managed
accounts.

Access persons with professionally managed investment accounts must provide the Firm's CCO a periodic proof and/or certification that they had no direct involvement in the investment transactions made in these accounts.

3. An advisory firm with only one access person.

**Personal Securities Transactions Requiring Prior Approval**

Generally, personal trades in equity securities or debt securities of issuing companies (or derivatives of such securities) require prior approval (pre-clearance) from the person(s) designated in this policy, unless the security is listed in the "Securities Exempt from Reporting" section above in the "Personal Securities Transactions Exempt from Prior Approval" section below.

Specifically, personal transactions in the following securities or security types must receive prior approval and must be reported by the access person via email to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u> as well as in the required quarterly personal tractions reports.

***Generally, personal trades in equity securities or debt securities of issuing companies (or derivatives of such securities) <u>require prior approval</u>.***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o SEB North America Small Cap Fund

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Single sub-sector ETFs

(Note: An example of a single sub-sector ETF is Pharmaceutical HOLDRs traded under a ticker PPH because it focuses only on pharmaceutical companies within the broad Health Care sector.)

**Personal Securities Transactions Exempt from Prior Approval**

Transactions in securities or security types listed in the "Securities Exempt from Reporting" section above as well as those listed below, must be reported on the quarterly personal tractions reports but do not need to be pre-cleared and communicated via email to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Currency transactions, including crypto currencies, and foreign exchange transactions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Commodities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o ETFs based on commodities or currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Diversified or broad sector ETFs or indices

(Note: To qualify for an exemption from pre-clearance, an ETF must be based on a broad securities index or industry sector and be open-ended. Broad-based ETFs have as their underlying tracking instrument an index or other financial product comprised of well diversified stocks and industries.)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Derivatives of the above

**Rules on Shorting in Personal Trading**

Pier's staff members are not allowed to short securities owned by Pier's clients.

Pier's Trader may approve personal trades shorting a security that is <u>not</u> currently owned by Pier's.

Buying back shares that have been shorted requires the same approval process as "regular" personal securities trades.

Page 22 of 57

**Rules on Personal Trading of Equity Options**

All pre-clearance requests for personal options transactions must clearly state that the transaction is an option, specifying option type, and identifying the underlying security symbol.

Personal transactions to purchase an option need an approval just like regular trading AND needs another approval when exercising:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o buying calls = approval to buy a security

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o buying puts = approval to sale a security

Personal transactions to sale an option already owned (selling an option is not the same as writing an option) requires approval:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o selling calls = approval to sell a security

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o selling puts = approval to buy a security

Writing options:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o is not allowed inside Pier's investment universe (within the market cap of Pier's investment strategies)

Exercising options:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o requires prior approval

**Restricted Period Rule**

"***Restricted Period Rule" is implemented to ensure those who are directly involved in investment research do not benefit from new investment ideas ahead of Pier's clients.***

Pier implemented the following restricted period lockout rule, which is appliable only to the access persons who are directly involved in investment research (currently this includes the Research Analysts and the Portfolio Manager), to ensure these investment professionals do not benefit from new investment ideas ahead of Pier's clients.

*<u>Note</u>*: The "Restricted Period Rule" applies only to securities, which are not owned by Pier's client(s) at the time of a personal purchase and are sold from the personal accounts of access persons directly involved in investment research. Additionally, for the purpose of this rule, there is no difference whether Pier's purchased the security (the access person is attempting to sell from their personal account) for the first time or if the security was owned by Pier's client(s) in the past, subsequently sold and then repurchased again.

Page 23 of 57

A request to sell a security from a personal account by Pier's access person directly involved in research will be denied if the security was first purchased by the access person before Pier purchased the same security for its client(s) until (whichever comes first):

o Ninety (90) days passes from the time Pier' client account(s) first entered or reenter the positions in the security, or

o Pier has sold the security from all client accounts.

If the above situation were to occur, and the access person is aware that Pier is exiting the position, the access person may request an exception to "Same-Day Trading Prohibition" (as detailed in below subsections of Personal Trading policy) and be granted an approval to sell the security on the same day Pier is selling it on behalf of its clients. However, the personal sell must be done <u>after</u> Pier has fully exited the position. Additionally, the access person must clearly describe this occurrence in his/her trade comment sent to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u> and include a proof of the timing to evidence that the personal trade occurred after Pier's client accounts no longer held the security.

To facilitate compliance with the Restricted Period Rule, investment team members must follow the below procedure when requesting pre-clearance to a sale personally owned security that is also currently held in the account(s) of Pier's clients.

1. Send an e-mail to the Trader asking for a permission sell the security and <u>include information to document compliance with the Restricted Period Rule</u>, which can be either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Restricted period has expired (provide the date it expired), or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The security was purchased by the supervised person more than 90 days prior Pier's purchase (provide the date it was purchased).

*or*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Access person can send an e-mail to the Trader with the date he/she purchased the security personally and ask the Trader to look up
Pier's first purchase/repurchase date in the Restricted Period worksheet to determine if the personal trade meets the approval requirements
detailed in the Restricted Period Rule.

Access persons should be aware that the Trader's first responsibility is to work client trade orders, therefore the timing of the response will depend on the Traders workload that day.

2. If Pier's clients do not own the stock, approval will be granted.

3. If Pier's clients own the stock, the Trader will request an employee to refer to the Restricted
Period worksheet and provide the required information as detailed in item 1a or 1b above to determine if the access person is eligible
to receive an approval to sell the security.

Page 24 of 57

**Personal Trade Comment Requirement**

***Individuals directly involved research must include an explanation when requesting a pre-approval to purchase a security for their own account specifying why Pier is not or should not be investing in the same security on behalf of its clients.***

**Applicable to access persons Directly involved in research:**

All access persons directly involved in the research process (currently this includes the Research Analysts and the Portfolio Manager) must include an explanation <u>when requesting a pre-approval to purchase a security</u> for their own account specifying why Pier is not or should not be investing in the same security on behalf of its clients.

The person deciding whether to approve this personal security purchase transaction, may grant an approval only if Pier is not actively considering investing in this security, or is not currently, interested in the security, or if the security falls outside the suitable market capitalizations limits of the investment strategies of the Firm.

**Applicable to access persons NOT directly involved in research:**

All other access persons, besides those directly involved in the research process (currently all roles not listed above, including the Trader), are not required to provide additional explanations when requesting a pre-approval to purchase a security for their own account.

Furthermore, the person deciding whether to approve this personal security purchase transaction, need only to give approval based on the knowledge that Pier is currently not considering purchasing the same security for its clients and there are no other conflicts of interests.

**Same-Day Trading Prohibition**

Personal trading in a security on the same day as Pier is trading the same security for client account(s) is not allowed.

Permissible exceptions to the same-day trading prohibitions are:

o Pier's rules require that the access person to sell the security.

o Pier's decision to execute "program/rebalance" trades for client account(s) was made <u>after</u> the access person
received pre-approval and has already executed the trade.

o Securities which do not require pre-clearance are exempt from the same day rule.

***Personal trading in a security on the same day as Pier is trading the same security for clients is not allowed.***

Page 25 of 57

o Access person is subscribing or redeeming form Pier's private fund.

o Access person received an exception directly related to "Restricted Period Rule" as detailed above.

o Other exceptions may be granted by the Firm's President or Chief Compliance Officer but must result from an unexpected circumstance
and must be clearly documented.

**Approval Rules**

Absent a rare or unforeseen circumstance, Pier will approve a request from an access person to trade a personal security transaction based on the following objective rules.

If Pier's client(s) own the security:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Approval may be given, absent any other reason to deny, if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Pier is not currently considering trading the security, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The "Restricted Period Rule" requirements have been met.

If Pier's client(s) do not own the security:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Sales may be approved, absent any other reason to deny.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Purchases will be approved if Pier is not currently considering purchasing the security, absent any other reason to deny.

**Personal Trading Approval and Reporting Process**

**Step 1 – Read and Understand Pier's Personal Trading Policy in Full**

Access persons wishing to trade a personal security transaction must first read and understand the Firm's Personal Trading policy in full to avoid violating the policy and possibly incurring financial losses and/or their position at the Firm. Pier's Personal Trading policy covers various requirements, including:

o Designating all of Pier's staff as access persons and expanding the applicability of the policy to the immediate family members
who share the same household as the Firm's access person(s).

o Explaining the reporting requirements and exemptions of personal securities holdings and transactions.

o Listing securities and security types which require prior approval and those that are exempt from it.

o Explaining the Firm's rules on shorting in personal securities transactions and for trading options.

o Prohibiting personal trades in the same security on the same day as done for client accounts.

o Describing special rules applicable to access persons who are directly involved in research, such as the restricted period rule and
the personal trade comment requirement.

o Explaining how the Firm objectively determines whether to approve personal securities transactions.

o Designating Pier's staff who can approve personal securities transactions.

Page 26 of 57

o Outlining the process to obtain approval and the action required after personal trade has been executed.

o Explaining the review process of process of personal security transactions.

o Describing various levels of penalties access persons may incur if they violate the policy.

**Step 2 – Submit an Electronic Request for Pre-clearance to the Designated Person**

All requests for pre-approval of personal security transactions must be e-mailed to Pier's Trader (currently Natalie Wright or "NW").

If NW is out of the office or does not respond within a reasonable time, the following individuals, listed a chronologically approved order, have been authorized to serve as NW backup for personal trading approval purposes:

o Pier's Portfolio Manager (currently Alex Yakirevich or "AY")

o Pier's Backup Portfolio Manager (currently Andrew Hokenson "AH")

o Pier's Chief Compliance Officer (currently Kathy Mienko or "KM")

Every effort will be made to grant or deny the request within 15 minutes of its receipt. However, is important for access persons to understand that the Trader's first responsibility and obligation is to work client trade orders and perform other trading related functions. Therefore, the response time to a personal trading pre-clearance approval request is of secondary importance and will depend on the Trader's workload that day. Similarly, the response timing from the designated backup persons will vary depending on their availability and workload.

*The pre-approval request email, must include below listed information:*

 

1. <u>All access</u> persons must include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The side of the personals trade (buy or sell)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The security ticker symbol

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Current market capitalization dollar amount for common stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o All pre-clearance requests for personal options transactions must clearly state that the transaction is an option, specifying the
option type, and identifying the underlying security symbol. See applicable section for additional required details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Helpful, but not required, security type (common stock, ETF, bond, private fund, etc.)

Note: writing options is not allowed for securities withing Pier's investment universe.

2. <u>Access persons who are directly involved in research</u>, must also include:

o If requesting pre-clearance for a sale: information about their compliance with the Restricted Period Rule

o If requesting pre-clearance for a buy: the required trade comment, if applicable.

Note: shorting securities owned by Pier's clients is not allowed.

Page 27 of 57

**Step 3 – Obtain an Email Reply Approving the Personal Trade Request**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Provided all required information is included in the preclearance
request (see #2 above), NW is allowed to independently grant approval or deny the approval (without involving AY/AH/KM) under the conditions
described below but must include an explanation of why AY/ AH /KM involvement was not needed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o For securities with current market capitalization dollar amounts
outside Pier's investment strategies limits:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Too large: securities with market capitalization above the largest
market cap in the Russell Mid Cap Index as of the most recent June 30<sup>th</sup>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Too small: at or below $100 million

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o For closed-end mutual funds, ETFs provided they are not currently
held in any client accounts, and for securities or security types listed in the "Personal Securities Transactions Exempt from Prior
Approval" and "Personal Transactions Exempt from the Reporting Requirement" sections above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o For sales of securities Pier's clients do not currently own.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o For transactions to short a security not currently owned by Pier's
clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Provided all required information is included in the preclearance
request (see #2 above), NW must forward the access person's request for approval to AY/AH (or to KM, if both AY and AH are inaccessible),
based on the conditions listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o For approval in all other cases (except as listed in #1 above),
NW shall forward the access person's original email request for pre-clearance to AY/AH/KM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o AY/AH/KM will in turn reply, using the same email trail, directly
to the access person with a carbon copy to NW approving or denying pre-clearance request. Alternatively, AY/AH /KM may also reply to
NW with the approval or denial and NW will forward that message to the access person requesting the pre-clearance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Access persons are not allowed to short securities currently owned
by Pier's clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Personal trades pre-clearance requests from NW need approval from
AY. If AY is absent, approval can be obtained from AH. If both AY and AH are absent, approval can be sought from KM.

Page 28 of 57

**Step 4 – Place and Execute the Personal Trade**

Except for personal investments in the Firm's private fund, or in other limited offerings, personal trading approvals are valid only on the day they are given. Therefore, access persons should act promptly to place and execute a personal trade once they receive an approval to do so.

**Step 5 - Report the Personal Trade Via Email to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u>**

Immediately after the personal security transaction is completed, but no later than 24 hours, access persons must:

o Forward the approval email, with the full history/without deleting or changing any of the past communication details, directly to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u>.

o The forwarded email must include a brief message from the access person stating the date, the side, and the ticker symbol of the completed
personal security transaction.

In the even personal trade pre-clearance was requested or granted verbally, the access person must ensure that this information memorized electronically by is emailing the following details to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u> with a carbon copy to all persons involved in the verbal approval process:

o The date and time (or the approximate time) verbal pre-clearance was requested.

o The date and time (or the approximate time) verbal approval was granted.

o The names of all the of all person(s) involved in granting of the approval.

o The requirements which are listed in Step 4 above.

**Personal Trading Review**

All access persons are required to provide the Firm' CCO with a copy of their monthly or quarterly brokerage statements, which should include, whenever possible, both security holdings and transactions information.

***All access persons are required to provide the Firm' CCO a copy of their monthly or quarterly brokerage statements.***

Pier requires that, whenever possible, these periodic statements are mailed directly to the Firm's Compliance Department by the brokage houses. The CCO can provide the access persons an official request form for this purpose and the access person can complete it and submit it to their brokerage. If the brokerage houses do not provide statements by mail, access persons are responsible for delivering copies of these statements directly to the Firm's CCO either via email or in paper form.

Page 29 of 57

The CCO conducts a periodic, typically quarterly, review of all access persons' trading activities. During this process, personal trading activity is cross-referenced with transactions in the company's portfolio management system and with the established pre-clearance procedures and personal trading approval emails submitted by Pier's staff to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u> inbox.

The CCO utilizes two separate excel worksheets for the review of personal trading: one to log personal security transactions and verify them against the Firm's established procures and the other to track if the personal investment statements for all account reported by the Firm's access persons have been received. Personal investment statements of the Firm's access persons are kept in paper form under the lock and key.

Material or repeated immaterial violations of the Personal Trading policy are reported by the CCO to the Firm's President to decide if any corrective or a punitive action needs to be taken by the Firm as a result.

Personal securities transactions and statements of the Firm's CCO are reviewed by and signed off on by the Firm's President.

**Violations of the Personal Trading Policy**

If there are any questions as to whether a personal securities transaction violated the Firm's policy, Pier expects the individual to reverse the trade. This should be done promptly and before Pier trades the same security for its clients, even if the transaction occurs on the same day as Pier's trading for its clients.

 **

***After a second offence/warning within six months for <u>materially</u> violating the Firm's personal trading policy, the access person will be prohibited from personal trading for three (3) months.***

 

***A third material offence/warning within a six (6) month period will lead to an exponentially more severe penalty and may lead to a demotion or a termination of employment.***

 ****

***Continued repeated immaterial violations occurring after four warnings within six months will be treated as material violations.***

Pier reserves the right to ask any access person to reverse any transaction it deems inappropriate, and expects the individual to follow such instructions, and accept any losses that might be incurred.

If a person has traded inappropriately, any profits from such a trade will be donated to 501(c)(3) charity selected by the Firm's CCO, while the losses must remain in the access person's account.

Repeated material violations of the Personal Trading policy (for example failures to obtain required pre-clearance, executing personal trade after approval was denied, withholding required information about investment accounts or holdings positions, etc.) are serious offences. After a second offence/warning within six (6) months, the access person committing the repeated violation will be prohibited from personal trading for three (3) months. A third material offence/warning within a six (6) month period will lead to an exponentially more severe penalty and depending on the facts and circumstance may lead to a demotion or a termination of employment.

Page 30 of 57

Repeated immaterial violations (for example a late submission of personal transaction statements or holdings reports or a failure to timely report pre-clearance of personal trades to <u>mytrade@piercap.com</u>, etc.) will result in a warning and depending on the severity may require a mandatory retaining. Continued repeated immaterial violations occurring after four (4) warnings within six (6) months will be considered material and will result in penalties applicable to material violations of the Personal Trading policy as outlined in the paragraph above.

**About Conflicts of Interests**

To maintain a business culture of ethics and compliance as well as client confidence in the Firm's integrity, it is important that all supervised persons avoid activities, interests and relationships that might interfere, or appear to interfere, with their ability to act in the best interests of the Firm's clients.

As discussed in the earlier section of the Code, the Firm and the Firm's supervised persons have a fiduciary duty to ensure that in any area where there may be a conflict between the interests of the Firm or the Firm's supervised persons and those of a client, the client's interests must always come first. Investment advisers are required to not just avoid conflicts of interests, but also to avoid situations that might be perceived as creating a conflict of interest, even if none exists.

Because it is impossible to describe every potential conflict, Pier relies upon the commitment of its supervised persons to exercise sound judgment, to seek advice when appropriate, and to adhere to the highest ethical standards of conduct in relationships with each other, the Firm, its clients, and the public.

***Supervised persons must avoid activities, interests and relationships that might interfere, or appear to interfere, with their ability to act in the best interests of the Firm's clients.***

**Outside Business Activities and Investments**

Any time a supervised person engages in activities that fall outside of business functions on behalf of Pier or makes investment away from the Firm there is a potential risk to the Firm and its clients. Some activities or investments may conflict, or appear to conflict, with Pier's interests, while others may carry the risk of confusing the public or the Firm's clients that Pier is somehow involved in a business activity conducted independently by a supervised person of the Firm. Moreover, various regulatory agencies require that employees of financial companies dealing with securities obtain prior permission from their employers for many outside activities and investments.

***Supervised persons may not engage in any outside business activity or investments without prior written prior approval.***

Therefore, supervised persons of the Firm may not engage in any outside business activity or investments without prior written prior approval from Firm's CCO, unless such activities are explicitly stated to be exempt from the pre-clearance requirement in the Firm's Code of Ethics.

This means that supervised persons at Pier, besides their regular employment salary or fixed partner compensation, are not authorized to receive, without a prior approval from the Firm's CCO, any money or thing of value, directly or indirectly, from any corporation or business, or through any personal relationship.

Page 33 of 57

**Examples of outside activities and investments**

o Engaging in any business activities other than those on behalf of Pier.

o Being employed or compensated by any entity or person other than Pier.

o Serving as an officer, director, employee, member or consultant for a business or organization (profit or non-profit), or other entity,
other than Pier.

o Investing in financial products, businesses, partnerships, or investment clubs, (other than securities described as exempted in the
Firm's Personal Trading policy) or soliciting others to invest in such securities.

o Providing or offering to provide investment advisory type or related advice or guidance to any entity or person.

**Prohibited Outside Activities**

No supervised person of the Firm is allowed to knowingly compete, or aid or advise any person, business or corporation in competing, with Pier, or engage in any activity in which his/her personal interests conflict in any way, or might conflict, with those of the Firm. Below are two examples of such activities.

**Kindred Business:**

Supervised person at Pier are prohibited from becoming associated (whether compensated or otherwise) with any venture that is or plans to operate as "kindred business," such as investment adviser, investment company, hedge fund, broker-dealer, venture capital business, financial consulting business, family office, or any other business in any way involving securities or other financial products. Such an association would create a conflict of interest and confusion for clients that no amount of disclosure, integrity, or honorable practice could relieve.

**Selling Away:**

Supervised persons at Pier are prohibited from soliciting anyone to purchase or participate in investments away from the Firm, whether compensated for this activity or not. These prohibited activities include the solicitation of clients, potential clients, Pier's employees, or the public to invest in non-Pier sponsored financial products and/or services.

**Finder's Fees and Financial Relationships**

***Supervised persons are not allowed to accept or request any favor or thing of value from any person, Firm, corporation that is or may be negotiating, contracting or in any way dealing with Pier.***

No supervised person of the Firm is allowed to accept or request, directly or indirectly, any favor or thing of value from any person, Firm, corporation negotiating, contracting or in any way dealing with Pier or with one that is likely to negotiate, contract or deal with the Pier. A supervised person who is offered any such favor or thing of value, directly or indirectly by any such person, Firm or a corporation must immediately report such offer to the Firm's CCO.

Page 34 of 57

**Rebates, Referral or Finder's Fees**

No supervised person may, directly or indirectly, pay or receive any rebate, referral fee, finder's fee or any other sort of fee or compensation other than as permitted by Pier's normal compensation structure. Notwithstanding this, there may be a few narrow exceptions which would require prior written approval from the Firm's CCO.

**Financial Relationships with Clients**

Having personal financial relationships with clients that fall outside the terms listed in Pier's Investment Management Agreements with clients, immediately creates a direct conflict of interest between the interests of the client and those of the supervised person. As a result, such financial relationships with the client are prohibited. Any exceptions to this prohibition must be approved in writing in advance by the Firm's CCO in consultation with any of the executive members at Pier.

Other examples of prohibited financial relationships with clients may include, but is not limited to:

o Extending credit or loans to clients.

o Endorsing or guaranteeing loans to clients.

o Acting as agent for a client in arranging a bank loan or for any other purpose.

o Receiving loans or credit from clients, except in the ordinary course of the client's business.

o Sharing, or agreeing to share, in the profits or losses of any client's account or any transaction effected therein.

o Guaranteeing, or in any way representing that you or the Firm will guarantee, a client against loss in any account or on any transaction.

o Pooling funds with the client for investment purposes, except for the Firm's sponsored investments.

**Giving and Accepting Gifts and Gratuities**

***All gifts and gratuities given must be reported in detail to the Firm's CCO.***

 ****

***Any given gift or gratuity valued at $250 or more, must receive prior approval from the Firm's CCO.***

Supervised persons at Pier are not allowed to, directly or indirectly, give or receive any favor or a thing of value or to engage in the entertainment with any person or a business that is negotiating, contracting, or in any way dealing with the Pier, except as it may be consistent with generally acceptable ethical standards or with accepted business practices that are not in violation of any applicable law.

**Giving Gifts or Gratuities**

Pier or Pier's supervised person may not give, directly or indirectly, a gift or gratuity (including Pier's promotional merchandise) that exceeds an aggregate of $250 (or foreign currency equivalent) per person, per year, to any person or entity doing or seeking business with the without prior approval form the Firm's CCO.

Page 35 of 57

All gifts and gratuities given by the Pier or by supervised persons at Pier that relate to Pier's business must pre-approved by the Firm's CCO and reported in detail to the Firm's CCO.

Charitable donations to qualified non-profit organizations made by the Firm are not considered gifts and are excluded from the "Giving Gifts and Gratuities" policy. Pier's "Charitable Contribution" policy is listed in the later section of this document.

**Accepting Gifts or Gratuities**

A supervised person may not solicit or encourage another person or entity to give him/her gifts or gratuities that are related, in any way, to business activities conducted by the supervised person on behalf of the Pier. Supervised persons may not represent or suggest that any service or business will be given in exchange for a gift or gratuity.

Supervised persons generally may not accept gifts or gratuities reasonably valued at $250 (or foreign currency equivalent) or more (including vendor promotional merchandise), aggregated annually from any other person or entity that:

o Does or seeks to do business with Pier.

o Gives the gift or gratuity because of the supervised person's position at the Firm.

Any gift or gratuity received by supervised persons under either of the above circumstances valued at $250 (or foreign currency equivalent) or more, either alone or aggregated annually, must be reported to and pre-approved by the Firm's CCO.

Permitted exceptions to receiving gifts pre-clearance requirement are listed below; however, these types of gifts receipts must still be reported to the Firm's CCO.

o Promotional merchandise from any vendor, including brokers, valued at or below $25 (if received once a
year).

o Promotional merchandise from vendors, including brokers, valued at or below $100 shared with the Firm's
staff.

o Holiday gifts received from vendors, including brokers, valued at or below $50 shared with the office.

The gift-reporting requirement was established for the purpose of helping Pier to monitor the activities of its supervised persons. However, the reporting of a gift does not relieve supervised persons from their obligations defined in this policy or specified in other areas of the Firm's Code of Ethics.

***Generally, supervised persons may not accept gifts or gratuities reasonably valued at $250 or more from any entity or person that does or seeks to do business with Pier or is giving the gift because of the supervised person position at Pier.***

 ****

***Any gift or gratuity received under either of the above circumstances valued at $250 must be reported to and pre-approved by the Firm's CCO.***

In certain instances where state mandated limits are exceeded, Pier may be required to register, including at times a supervised person, as a lobbyist.

The statutory entertainment limits set by each state can be found by visiting this website: <u>https://www.ncsl.org/ethics/lobbyist-registration-requirements</u>.

Supervised persons may sign or initial on behalf of another member of the Firm only upon receiving an explicit written approval (which can be received via email) from that person to do so. The authorization to sign on behalf of another member of the team must be obtained for each instance it is used. The supervised person who is signing on behalf of another after receiving the explicit authorization to do so, must retain the authorization in the business records related to that matter. Signing on behalf of another member of the Firm should be a rare occurrence. The Firm expects Pier's supervised persons to first exhaust all reasonable options to avoid having to sign on behalf of another team member, before proceeding to seek approval to do so.

**Political Contributions Pay to Play Rules**

**Summary of the Pay to Play Rule**

Under the Rule 206(4)-5, if an adviser or a covered associate of the adviser makes a contribution to an official of a government entity who is in a position to influence the award of the government entity's business, then the adviser is prohibited from receiving compensation for providing advisory services to that government entity for two (2) years thereafter (this is referred to as "time-out" period). The time-out period does not change even if the covered associate leaves the employment of the adviser.

Page 45 of 57

The Rule also prohibits funneling of political contributions through third parties, including, for example, consultants, attorneys, family members, friends or companies affiliated with the adviser as a means to circumvent the Rule. In addition, the Rule restricts advisers from "bundling" a large number of small employee contributions to influence an election or making contributions (or payments) indirectly through a state or local political party.

*Important Rule Definitions:*

1. Instead of a two-year time out period, there is a six-month look-back provision for "new" covered persons who do not solicit
clients. The two-year timeout remains for new covered persons who solicit clients.

2. The de minimis exception allows a covered associate of an adviser that is a natural person to contribute:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o up to $350 to an official per election (with primary and general elections counting separately) if the covered associate was entitled
to vote for the official at the time of the contribution, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o up to $150 to an official per election (with primary and general elections counting separately) if the covered associate was not entitled
to vote for the official at the time of the contribution.

3. Exception for certain returned contributions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The investment adviser must have discovered the contribution which resulted in the prohibition within four months of the date of such
contribution; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Such contribution must not have exceeded $350; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The contributor must obtain a return of the contribution within 60 calendar days of the date of discovery of such contribution by
the investment adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o There are strict limitations on how many times during a year the adviser is allowed to use the returned contribution exception.

or indirect payments made to a political party or PAC.

o The name and business address of each regulated person to which the adviser agrees to provide direct or indirect payment to solicit

**Required Pay to Play Preapprovals and Certifications**

1. All supervised persons must request a preapproval from the Firm's CCO before making any direct or indirect political contributions.

2. All supervised persons must certify annually if they have or have not made any direct or indirect political contributions and that
they have not funneled any political contributions through third parties to circumvent the Rule.

3. If political contribution was made, supervised persons must disclose to the Firm the exact:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) The date the contribution was made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) The amount of the contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) The person or party who received the contribution.

| **Chapter 6:** | **Violations of the Code of Ethics** |

---

**Requirement to Report Violations**

The Code of Ethics regulation requires prompt internal reporting of any violations of the Firm's Code of Ethics. These violations must be reported directly to the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer. All supervised persons are expected to report committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy. All reported violations will be promptly investigated and addressed by the Firm's CCO and/or the management.

Supervised persons can report these violations or suspected violations without fear of retaliation using any method they feel most comfortable with, which can be by calling, emailing, writing, or speaking to the Firm's CCO directly. The Firm also provides an anonymous way to report violations which is detailed in the "Whistleblower Protection" policy outlined in the subsequent section of this document. Supervised persons wishing to report committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy committed by the Firm's CCO, should contact the Firm's President.

***The Code of Ethics regulation requires prompt internal reporting of any violations of the Firm's Code of Ethics.***

As fiduciaries to clients, each supervised person has an absolute obligation to place the interests of the client ahead of those of the Firm or any individual associated with it. A cornerstone of Pier's business is the Firm's unconditional commitment to conduct all our activities ethically and to adhere to the guiding principles at the heart of the Investment Adiser's Act: ***ethics and full disclosure***. Any action that calls into question the Firm's integrity can jeopardize the Firm's success or even viability.

Pier recognizes that mistakes and errors happen and that everyone makes them at one time or another. Therefore, the management of the Firm expects all staff members to resolve issues that arise during their tenure at Pier honestly and openly and never attempt to cover up or hide them. The Firm's management welcomes self-reporting and values staff members with the courage to admit when they were at a wrong. Openly acknowledging mistakes made is the ultimate proof of commitment to ***ethics and full disclosure***. The Firm will help all staff members to resolve mistakes and errors promptly and correctly and will provide retraining when needed.

Similarly, the Firm's management recognizes that alerting those in charge about observed mistakes made by co-workers may be a difficult decision for some people. To that effect, supervised persons should understand that improper conduct on the part of any person at the Firm puts the entire Firm and all its personnel at risk. The Firm's management cannot stop or remedy misconduct unless they know about it. Accordingly, all supervised persons are not only expected to, but are required by law to report their concerns about potentially illegal conduct as well as violations of the Firm's policies.

Page 49 of 57

**Materiality of Violations**

The Firm recognizes that all violations are not equal, and materiality can depend on facts and circumstances in each case. Regardless, it is important that all supervised persons understand how the Firm defines what is a material violation to the Code.

A material code of ethics violation means a breach of the Code that raises relatively serious issues that suggest the possibility of a violation of the securities laws, particularly Section 17(j) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rule 17j-1 thereunder or Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The triggering event can vary based on the specific facts and circumstances of a situation, but may include issues such as insider trading, front running, short-term trading, market timing or other circumstances or patterns of incidents or transactions or a series of minor violations which in their aggregate may constitute a serious violation. Likewise, repeated immaterial violations will be considered material.

Each violation will be taken seriously by the Firm. Depending on materiality as well as the facts and circumstances, a violation of the Firm's Code of Ethics can result in a serious consequence to the supervised person who breaches the Firm's Code, and in most serious cases can lead up and including the termination of employment at Pier.

Please also note that additional rules about violations to the Firm's personal trading policy are outlined in Chapter 4 of this document.

**The Firm's Commitment to Non-Retaliation**

As discussed in the "Standard of Conduct" section of the Code, Pier expects the highest standards of conduct from every employee and owner of the Firm. It is critical to the Firm's success that all supervised persons adhere to the regulatory requirements outlined in the Code of Ethics and the Firm's Compliance Policies and Procedures manual. When everyone respects these obligations, it helps the Firm to maintain and foster a culture of ethics and compliance and be able to provide a cooperative and supportive work environment for everyone.

The "Violations of the Code of Ethics" section above outlines the importance and of reporting violations or suspected violations, explains why doing so is critical to the Firm's viability, and advises who at Pier is responsible for receiving, investing, and resolving violations.

Pier values comments, suggestions, and observation from all staff members report committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy because this information helps the Firm to uphold the high ethical standard of conduct it sets for itself and for all its supervised persons. Furthermore, when supervised persons report possible legal or compliance issues at the Firm, it can help the Firm's management to remedy problems they were not aware of and even prevent a more serious problem from developing.

As such, supervised persons should not fear retaliation or persecution for reporting committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy. Pier strictly prohibits retaliation in response to such communications when it is made in good faith.

***Supervised persons should not fear retaliation or persecution for reporting committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy.***

 ****

***Pier strictly prohibits retaliation in response to such communications when it is made in good faith.***

**Reporting Anonymously**

While the Firm's Chief Compliance Officer is always ready to discuss report committed, observed, or suspected instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law or the Firm's policy issues in person, and to keep the reporting person's name confidential if requested, the Firm recognizes that sometimes in-person reporting can be uncomfortable or intimidating. Therefore, the Firm provides a way to report anonymously using the process listed below. Supervised persons who elect to use this method to report misconduct, fraud, violations or suspected violations of the Firm's policy or the law will not be able to be identified.

Page 52 of 57

**To report anonymously:**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Use an anonymous Gmail account created for this purpose at <u>https://accounts.google.com</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Log in with the following credentials:

o E-mail account address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

o Password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. After logging in with using the above credentials, but cannot locate the email portal, go to: <u>https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Compose the message and send it to Pier's CCO at: <u>kathy.mienko@piercap.com</u>.

If the anonymous report is regarding the CCO, send the email to the Firm's President at: <u>alex.yakirevich@piercap.com</u>

Remember, to keep the message anonymous do not disclose your name in the email message.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. If you wish, you can delete the email from the "Sent" folder. If you do not, the email recipient will delete it.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. When done, sign-out of Gmail account. Do not just simply close the browser.

**Responsibility of the Whistleblower**

To receive Whistleblower protection, a person must be acting in good faith in reporting a complaint or concern under this policy and must have reasonable grounds for believing a deliberate misrepresentation has been made regarding the issue that is being reported.

A malicious allegation known to be false is considered a serious offense and will be subject to disciplinary action that may include termination of employment.

Page 53 of 57

**Handling Reported Improper Activity**

***The Firm will take seriously any report regarding a potential violation of the Firm's policy or other improper or illegal activity.***

The Firm will take seriously any report regarding a potential violation of the Firm's policy or other improper or illegal activity and recognizes the importance of keeping the identity of the reporting person from being widely known. Supervised persons are to be assured that the Firm will appropriately manage all such reported concerns or suspicions of improper activity in a timely and professional manner, confidentially and without retaliation.

To protect the confidentiality of the individual submitting such a report and to enable to conduct a comprehensive investigation of reported misconduct, supervised persons should understand that those individuals responsible for conducting any investigation are generally precluded from communicating information pertaining to the scope and/or status of such reviews.

**No Retaliation Policy**

It is the Firm's policy that no supervised person who submits a complaint made in good faith will experience retaliation, harassment, or unfavorable or adverse employment consequences.

A supervised person who retaliates against a person reporting a complaint will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include termination of employment.

A supervised person who believes s/he has been subject to retaliation or reprisal because of reporting a concern or making a complaint is to report such action to the CCO or to the Firm's other senior management in the event the concern pertains to the CCO.

Furthermore, any employment contract or agreement used by the Firm that contains retaliatory provisions or otherwise requires the reporting of instances of impropriety, fraud, or violations of law at the Firm exclusively to the Firm and its senior management and/or otherwise prohibits the reporting, either directly or indirectly, to any regulatory body, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, shall be deemed null and void. The provisions of this Whistleblower policy, particularly with respect to non-retaliation, shall supersede any employment or other agreements, either written or verbal, regardless of the execution date of any such agreement.

**Reporting Violations to Regulatory Bodies**

Neither this policy nor any other company policy prevents any supervised persons (or formerly supervised persons) from voluntarily communicating with the SEC or other authorities regarding possible violation of law or from recovering a SEC Whistleblower award.

Supervised persons at Pier are reminded that the Firm's CCO is always ready to discuss these issues in person, and to keep the reporting person's name confidential if requested. Supervised persons can also report anonymously as per the process outlined above.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I. INTRODUCTION

The Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted Rule 204A-1, under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Advisers Act"), requiring all registered investment advisers to adopt a written code of ethics. The rule requires an adviser's code of ethics to set forth standards of conduct and require compliance with Federal securities laws.

F/m Investments LLC ("F/m", "Adviser" or "Firm") is committed to maintaining the highest legal and ethical standards. These values are codified in the Adviser's Code of Ethics (the "Code").

The Code sets out basic principles to guide the day-to-day business activities of all employees, directors and officers of the Adviser. The overall policy underlying this Code is that the Adviser expects its directors, officers and employees ("Supervised Persons") will follow the highest standards of honest conduct and business ethics in all aspects of their activities on behalf of the Adviser and that they will not cheat, lie to or steal from the Adviser, its members, clients, vendors or fellow directors, officers or employees. In addition, all Supervised Persons are expected to comply with the spirit and letter of all applicable laws, regulations and Adviser policies, and be sensitive to, and act appropriately in, situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest or violations of this Code.

This Code operates in conjunction with the Adviser's policies and procedures. When this Code conflicts with another policy or procedure, the more restrictive provision shall apply. This Code is not intended to cover every ethical issue that a Supervised Person may confront while working for F/m. Supervised Persons are expected to use sound judgment and act in accordance with the highest ethical standards when confronted with ethical issues that are not covered by this Code and with the Adviser's other policies and procedures applicable to the Supervised Person's department.

All Supervised Persons (including temporary employees and outside investment consultants) must familiarize themselves with the information, guidelines and procedures contained in this Code. Any questions regarding these issues should be directed to the Compliance Department.

The Exhibits to the Code, located at the end of this document, are part of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;II. APPLICABILITY

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IV. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS

The financial services industry is governed by numerous laws and regulations adopted by a variety of governments, government agencies, regulators and other entities. The Adviser, as a participant in the financial services industry, is subject to many of these laws and regulations.

Obeying both the letter and spirit of all applicable laws and regulations is critical to the Adviser's ability to accomplish its objectives. In everything that they do on behalf of the Adviser, Supervised Persons must use care not to violate any law or regulation. Supervised Persons are responsible to know, understand and follow the law and regulations that apply to their responsibilities on behalf of the Adviser. While no Supervised Person is expected to be an expert on all applicable laws and regulations, they are expected to know the laws and regulations well enough to recognize when an issue arises and to seek the advice of the Adviser's Compliance Department.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;V. PROHIBITIONS ON INSIDER TRADING

The Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 imposes stiff criminal and civil penalties upon persons who trade while in possession of "inside information" or who communicate such information to others in connection with a securities transaction.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. What Constitutes Insider Trading?

"Inside information" is defined as Material nonpublic information about an issuer or Security. Such information typically originates from an "insider" of the issuer, such as an officer, director, or controlling shareholder. However, insider trading prohibitions also extend to trading while in possession of certain "market information." "Market information" is Material nonpublic information which affects the market for an issuer's Securities but which comes from sources outside the issuer. A typical example of market information is knowledge of an impending tender offer.

In order to assess whether a particular situation runs afoul of the prohibition against insider trading, keep in mind the following:

Information is deemed "material" if there is a substantial likelihood that reasonable investors would consider it important in making their investment decisions. Among the types of information which should be deemed Material is information relating to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ increases or decreases in dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ declarations of stock splits and stock dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ financial announcements including periodic results and forecasts,
especially earnings releases and estimates of earnings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ changes in previously disclosed financial information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ mergers, acquisitions or takeovers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ proposed issuances of new securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant changes in operation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant increases or declines in backlog orders or the award
or loss of a significant contract;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant new products to be introduced or significant discoveries
of oil and gas, minerals or the like;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ extraordinary borrowings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ major litigation (civil or criminal);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ financial liquidity problems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant changes in management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the purchase or sale of substantial assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ significant regulatory actions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. What is nonpublic?

Information is considered "nonpublic" if it has not been released through appropriate public media in such a way as to achieve a broad dissemination to the investing public generally, without favoring any special person or group. Unfortunately, the question of publicity is very fact-specific; there are no hard and fast rules.

F/m Code of Ethics

The selective disclosure of Material nonpublic information by corporate insiders may lead to violations by an outsider of §10 (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10 (b) 5) thereunder under the following conditions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the insider intentionally breached a duty of confidentiality
owed to the issuer's shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the insider received some personal benefit from this breach,
either by way of pecuniary gain or a reputational benefit that could translate into future earnings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the outsider knew or should have known that the insider breached
a duty by disclosing the information; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ the outsider acts with scienter -- i.e., a mental state showing
an intent to deceive, manipulate or defraud.

An outsider might also run afoul of the prohibition against insider trading under a "misappropriation" theory. This theory applies to those who trade on information they have taken in breach of some fiduciary duty, even though that may not be a duty to the issuer's shareholders. An example of this would be newspaper reporters who misappropriate information they have received in the course of their job writing articles for their employer, and then trades before that information becomes public. Another example would be an employee of an investment adviser who trades while in possession of Material nonpublic information they learn of in the course of their advisory duties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VI. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Adviser stands in a fiduciary relationship to its clients; consequently, all Supervised Persons shall carry out their duties with utmost fidelity to the client and solely in the client's best interests. In this regard, the professional judgment of all Supervised Persons shall be exercised free of all compromising influences and loyalties.

Supervised Persons must scrupulously avoid serving their own personal interests ahead of the interests of the Adviser's clients. An employee may not induce or cause a client to take action, or not to take action for the employee's personal benefit, rather than for the benefit of the client. For example, Supervised Persons would violate the Code by causing a client to purchase a Security they owned for the purpose of increasing the price of that Security.

Supervised Persons may not cause or attempt to cause any client to purchase, sell or hold any Security in a manner calculated to create any personal benefit to the Supervised Person. If a Supervised Person stands to benefit materially from an investment decision for a client, and the Supervised Person is making or participating in the investment decision, then the Supervised Person must disclose the potential benefit to independent persons with authority to make investment decisions for the client (or, if the Supervised Person in question is the sole person with authority to make investment decisions for the client, to the Compliance Department). The person to whom the client reports the interest, in consultation with the Compliance Department, must determine whether or not the Supervised Person will be restricted in making or participating in the investment decision.

Supervised Persons shall treat all information received from clients or information relating to client accounts with utmost confidentiality and shall not, without the prior written consent of the client, disclose such information to any other person except as necessary to perform their duties on behalf of the Adviser or as required by law. In no case may information about a client be used for the personal benefit of any person other than the client.

F/m Code of Ethics

Supervised Persons shall treat all personal information received from employees with utmost confidentiality and shall not, without the prior written consent of the employee, disclose such information to any other person except as required to perform Adviser business or as required by law. In no case may information about an employee be used for the personal benefit of any person other than the employee.

Supervised Persons shall not use their knowledge of client portfolio transactions to profit by the market effect of such transactions. Receipt of investment opportunities, perquisites, or gifts from persons seeking business with a client could call into question the exercise of a Supervised Person's independent judgment.

No Supervised Person shall accept any orders or directions with respect to a client's account from any non-client source without the prior written authorization of the client.

No Supervised Person shall warrant or guarantee the present or future value or price of, or return on, any Securities, or that any Adviser or issuer will fulfill its representations, promises or obligations.

No Supervised Person shall act, or agree to act as the personal custodian, trustee, personal representative or other fiduciary for a client or with respect to the securities, funds or other property of a client, unless expressly permitted by the Adviser.

No Supervised Person shall lend or borrow money or securities to or from a client or a client's account.

No Supervised Person shall forward, or agree to forward, original confirmations, statements of account, recommendations or other communications from the Adviser to a client to any address other than the client's official post office address or email address, if the client has agreed to receive Adviser communications electronically.

No Supervised Person shall accept or hold in their individual name discretionary authority or a discretionary power of attorney for a client or a client's account.

No Supervised Person may take personal advantage of any opportunity properly belonging to any client. This includes, but is not limited to, acquiring a Beneficial Interest in a Security of limited availability.

No Supervised Person may engage in any Securities Transaction intended to raise, lower, or maintain the price of any Security or to create a false appearance of active trading.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VII. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Supervised Persons must act in the best interests of the Adviser. A "conflict of interest" may occur when a Supervised Person's personal interests interfere with, or appear to interfere with, the interests of the Adviser, its members or its clients. Similarly, a conflict of interest may also occur when a person's personal interests interfere with that person's ability to objectively and effectively perform their services for the Adviser. The overarching conflicts of interest principle is that the personal interests of a Supervised Person must not be placed improperly before the interests of the Adviser, its members or its clients. In adhering to this principle, Supervised Persons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ may not use personal influence or personal relationships improperly
to influence financial reporting by the Adviser;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ may not improperly cause the Adviser to take action, or fail
to take action, for the personal benefit of the Supervised Person rather than for the benefit of the Adviser;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ may not improperly use their positions with the Adviser, or information
that belongs to the Adviser or its clients, for personal gain;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ may not bind the Adviser to any agreement or arrangement with
an entity in which the Supervised Person, directly or through family members, has any Material economic interest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ must disclose to the Compliance Department any situation of which
they become aware in which the Adviser are entering into an arrangement or agreement with an entity in which the Supervised Person, directly
or through family members, has any Material economic interest; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ should avoid any activities, interests or associations outside
the Adviser that could impair their ability to perform their work for the Adviser objectively and effectively, or that could give the
appearance of interfering with their responsibilities on behalf of the Adviser.

Although it is not possible to foresee every potential conflict of interest that may arise, Supervised Persons must be sensitive to actual or potential conflicts and bring them to the attention of management of their department, and management should solicit the advice of the Adviser's Compliance Department when confronted with potential conflict of interest issues. Wherever possible, situations in which a potential conflict of interest exists, or appears to exist, should be avoided. Where potential conflicts of interest cannot be avoided, they must be disclosed to management and handled in an ethical way as to avoid any perception of impropriety.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VIII. FAIR DEALING

It is the Adviser's policy to compete aggressively in each business in which it is engaged, but to compete ethically, fairly and honestly. The Adviser seeks to succeed through superior performance, service, diligence, effort and knowledge, not through unfair advantage. To this end, the Adviser is committed to dealing fairly with its clients, customers, vendors, competitors and employees. No Supervised Person may take unfair advantage of any other person or business through any unfair business practice, including through improper coercion, manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information or misrepresentation of Material fact.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;IX. SAFEGUARDING ASSETS AND PROPERTY

F/m's assets and properties represent a key portion of F/m's value as an enterprise and are very important to F/m's ability to conduct its business. The Adviser's assets and properties include both physical assets such as cash, securities, physical property and equipment and intangible assets such as business strategies and plans, intellectual property, services and products. Supervised Persons are responsible for safeguarding the Adviser's assets and properties that are under their control. Theft of, or fraudulently obtaining Adviser assets or property is misappropriation of the Firm's assets or property and should be reported to the Firm's management or Compliance Department immediately for investigation. Furthermore, except where permitted by the Adviser, Supervised Persons should not use Adviser assets for their personal benefit. In addition to protecting Adviser assets and property from theft or misuse, Supervised Persons should be careful not to needlessly waste any Adviser asset or property.

As part of its business, the Adviser routinely comes into possession of property of clients, vendors and other third parties. It is vitally important to the Adviser's business and reputation that all client property that comes into the Adviser's possession is protected and maintained. Supervised Persons are responsible for safeguarding property belonging to clients, vendors and other third parties, that are under their control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;X. REPORTING PROCEDURES FOR SUPERVISED PERSONS

F/m requires Supervised Persons to complete the following reporting through MCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Initial Code of Ethics Acknowledgement

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Acknowledge receipt of this Code. It is the responsibility of
Supervised Persons to read, understand and abide by all aspects of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Annual Code of Ethics Acknowledgement

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Annually certify having read and understood the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. New Hire Questionnaire

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Respond to questions identifying potential conflicts of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Quarterly Political Contributions Certification

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Certify all personal political contributions have been reported
in the previous quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Annual Certification of Outside Business Activities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Annually certify all outside business
activities have been accurately disclosed and remain current.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. Annual Disclosure Questionnaire

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Confirm or update responses regarding potential conflicts of
interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;XI. PERSONAL TRADING POLICY

This Code's Personal Trading Policy applies to Access Persons. Access Persons are Supervised Persons who also have access to nonpublic information regarding Adviser's clients' purchases or sales of securities, are involved in making securities recommendations to clients or who have access to such recommendations that are nonpublic. You will be notified at hire if you are an Access Person under this Code.

While Supervised Persons who are not also Access Persons will not be required to regularly disclose information related to their personal trading activities, the Adviser reserves the right to request the personal trading information of Supervised Persons.

F/m understands that, due to the nature of the markets, personal trades may be placed during business hours. The Adviser, however, strongly discourages frequent trading which may adversely affect an employee's attention to their responsibility for clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Fraudulent or Deceptive Practices

No Access Person shall, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person of a security held or to be acquired by the Adviser's clients:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Adviser's
clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Make to the Adviser any untrue statement of a Material fact or
omit to the Adviser a Material fact necessary in order to make the statement made, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Engage in any act, practice or course of business which would
operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Adviser or the Adviser's clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Trade while in possession of Material nonpublic information for
personal or client investment accounts or disclosing such information to others in or outside the Adviser who have no need for this information.

It is a violation of federal securities laws to buy or sell securities while in possession of Material nonpublic information and illegal to communicate such information to a third-party who buys or sells securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Basic Restriction on Investing Activities

If a purchase or sale order is pending or under active consideration for any client, neither the same Security nor any Related Security (such as an option, warrant or convertible security) may be bought or sold for any Reportable Personal Account.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Initial Public Offerings

No Access Person shall acquire Beneficial Interest in any security in an Initial Public Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Blackout Period

No Security or Related Security, unless otherwise specified, may be bought or sold for the account of any Access Person during the period commencing three (3) calendar days prior to and ending three (3) calendar days after the initiation of a new (as opposed to a transaction necessitated by a client's cash flow) purchase or sale (or entry of an order for the purchase or sale) of that Security or any Related Security for the account of any new or existing client with respect to which such person has been designated an Access Person. A Security under active consideration must not be traded in Reportable Personal Accounts.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Holding Period

To mitigate concerns over short-term trading, there is a 30-day holding period for most transactions (see Exhibit A). Short-term trading by Access Persons in accounts for which they have any beneficial ownership is prohibited.

unless the Access Person submits a Trade Pre-Clearance request via MCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Compliance will review the transaction and approve or deny the
request via MCO as soon as practicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Approved transactions must be completed on the same day approval
is received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Employees should review Exhibit A for a complete list of securities
and their associated pre-clearance and reporting requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Securities that are not reported on an employee's brokerage
statement, but are otherwise reportable, must be reported in the Quarterly Transaction Report.

Private Securities Transactions represent their own unique risks to the Adviser. Private Securities Transactions include investments in private placements (hedge funds or private equity funds), a privately placed security, private investment partnerships, interests in oil and gas ventures, real estate syndications, participations in tax shelters and other investment vehicles and shares issued prior to a public distribution.

Access Persons wishing to transact in Private Securities are required to submit a Private Security Transactions Form in MCO where the Access Person will be required to provide full details of the proposed transaction (including written certification that the investment opportunity did not arise by virtue of such person's activities on behalf of any Reportable Fund). The Compliance Department will provide approval via MCO if the private security transaction does not pose a conflict with a client or unmanageable risk to the Adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;XIII. OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Supervised Persons may be granted permission to engage in Outside Business Activities with public or private corporations, partnerships, not-for-profit institutions, investments clubs and other entities. However, such activities can create conflicts of interest with the Adviser and its clients which is why the Compliance Department reviews proposed Outside Business Activities on a case-by-case basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Authorization for Outside Business Activities

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Supervised Persons are required to request authorization to participate
in an Outside Business Activity via MCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Approval will be based on potential conflicts regarding the nature
of the entity associated with the Outside Business Activity. Particularly if the entity is a current or potential client of the Adviser
or if the entity is a current or potential third party vendor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Conflicts will be considered where the activity is related to
the financial services industry.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Potential conflicts may exist even where the outside activity
is for a charitable organization or non-profit where the Supervised Person's proposed role may involve investment decisions on
behalf of the organization individually or as the member of an investment committee for the charity or non-profit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The Adviser will consider the potential time commitment of the
activity in addition to potential compensation received.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Outside Business Activities will be disclosed for Supervised
Persons disclosed on the Adviser's Brochure Supplement (Form ADV Part 2B)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Personal Loans

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Borrowing from or becoming indebted to any person, business or

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;XIV. GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

F/m holds its Supervised Persons to high ethical standards and strictly prohibits any giving or receipt of things of value that are designed to improperly influence the recipient. Anti-bribery and anti-corruption statutes in the U.S. are broadly written, so Supervised Persons should consult with Compliance if there is even an appearance of impropriety associated with the giving or receipt of anything of value. Supervised Persons may generally give and receive Gifts and Entertainment, so long as such Gifts and Entertainment are ordinary or accepted business practices and do not appear lavish or excessive.

For purposes of the policies and procedures related to Gifts and Entertainment, an event where the giver and recipient attend together is considered *Entertainment*. An event to which tickets or other access is provided, but at which the giver is not present, is considered a *Gift*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Gifts

The following types of Gifts are prohibited and may not be given by a Supervised Person Similarly, if a Supervised Person receives any of the below, they must return the Gift or refuse the offer. If return or refusal is not practicable, please contact the Compliance Department for additional options which may include distribution among an entire office or forwarding the gift to a charity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Gifts of cash, or cash equivalents (gift cards or gift certificates)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Travel or lodging associated with a conference, research trip
or other business-related activity.

The following types of Gifts are not prohibited and are exempt from reporting in MCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Holiday baskets or lunches delivered to one of F/m's offices
received on behalf of F/m.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Promotional items valued at less than $100 that clearly display
the giver's company logo.

In general, F/m restricts Gifts (both giving and receiving) to no more than $250 within a calendar year per third-party. Gifts given under $250 do not require approval but are required to be reported in MCO. If a Supervised Person wishes to give a Gift to a third-party where the value exceeds $250, approval for the Gift should be requested via MCO. Gifts proposed to be given over $250 require approval by both F/m's Compliance Department and CFO.

All Gifts received, regardless of value, require reporting in MCO.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Entertainment

Supervised Persons may attend business meals, sporting events and other Entertainment events at the expense of a third-party. The Entertainment must be attended by the giver, provided for a bona fide business purpose, and may not be perceived to be lavish or extravagant in nature. All Entertainment received, regardless of value, must be reported via MCO.

Supervised Persons are permitted to provide Entertainment to third parties with which F/m does, or seeks to do, business with, including third party vendors. Entertainment expected to exceed $250 requires pre-authorization via MCO. The pre-authorization request must include the names of the individuals expected to participate and the third-party they represent, as applicable.

Entertainment less than $250, such as business lunches or coffee, does not require pre-authorization but does require reporting subsequent to the event. Entertainment reporting requires names of the individuals entertained and the name of the third-party they represent, as applicable.

Excessive or lavish is not specifically defined for purposes of the policy. Excessive or lavish is determined on a case-by-case basis by the Compliance Department and/or CEO depending on the specific facts and circumstances. F/m's CFO may request evidence of compliance with this policy prior to processing expense reports.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Union Officials or ERISA Plan Fiduciaries

Gifts or Entertainment to or from a labor union or a union official in excess of $250 per fiscal year must be reported on Department Labor Form LM-10 within 90 days following the end of the Adviser's fiscal year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Foreign Governments and "Government Instrumentalities"

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") prohibits the direct or indirect giving of, or a promise to give, "things of value" in order to corruptly obtain a business benefit from an officer, employee, or other "instrumentality" of a foreign government. Companies that are owned, even partly, by a foreign government may be considered an "instrumentality" of that government. In particular, government investments in foreign financial institutions may make the FCPA applicable to those institutions. Individuals acting in an official capacity on behalf of a foreign government or a foreign political party may also be "instrumentalities" of a foreign government.

The FCPA includes provisions that may permit the giving of Gifts and Entertainment under certain circumstances, including certain Gifts and Entertainment that are lawful under the written laws and regulations of the recipient's country, as well as bona-fide travel costs for certain legitimate business purposes. However, the availability of these exceptions is limited and is dependent on the relevant facts and circumstances.

F/m Code of Ethics

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Supervised Persons must receive authorization from the F/m via
MCO  ***prior to giving anything of value*** that might be subject to the FCPA

and that is clearly not lavish or excessive is exempt from authorization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Corporate Sponsorships

F/m's sponsorship of events is consistent with F/m's bona fide business purposes. Sponsorships should not be excessive or so frequent as to raise questions of their propriety. Such sponsorships require authorization from F/m via MCO prior to distribution of F/m's funds securing the Adviser's place as a sponsor. Sponsorships are subject to approval by both the Compliance Department and CFO. F/m's CFO may request evidence of compliance with this policy prior to processing payment or reimbursement for the sponsorship.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. Charitable Giving

Supervised Persons may not make contributions to charities with the intention of influencing such charities to become clients.

Charitable contributions on behalf of F/m that exceed $250 require authorization from the Firm via MCO prior to the contribution. Charitable contributions on behalf of F/m less than $250 only require reporting in MCO and contribute to an annual limit of $250 per third-party. F/m's CFO may request evidence of compliance with this policy prior to processing or reimbursing the charitable contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;XV. POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Rule 206(4)-5 (the "Pay-to-Play Rule") limits political contributions to state and local government officials, candidates, and political parties by registered investment advisers such as F/m. F/m and its Covered Associates are prohibited from making political contributions with the intention of influencing its recipient for business purposes. For purposes of Rule 206(4)-5 all Supervised Persons and their spouses are considered Covered Associates.

Violations of the Pay-to-Play Rule may prohibit receipt of compensation from a government entity for advisory services for two years following a contribution to any official of that government entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Prior to Employment with F/m:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Prospective F/m employees must complete a questionnaire disclosing
political contributions by themselves and their spouse within the previous 24 months.

potential conflicts under Rule 206(4)-5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. Pre-Clearance of Political Contributions

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Rule 206(4)-5 broadly defines political contributions to include
any gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money or anything of value made for the purpose of influencing any election for
state or local office. This includes the payment of a debt incurred in connection with any such election. It also includes transition
or inaugural expenses of the successful candidate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Covered Associates may not participate in any indirect action
that would be prohibited if the same action was done directly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Covered Associates wishing to make a political contribution to
any state or local government entity, official, candidate, political party, or political action committee must seek pre-clearance from
MCO prior to the contribution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Total contributions to any state or local government entity,
official, candidate, political party, or political action committee may not exceed $150 in a single election cycle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ The $150 contribution limit is increased to $350 for Covered
Associates who are eligible to vote in the election of the candidate or official.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;▪ Pre-clearance authorization is valid for seven days from the
request date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. Restrictions on the Coordination or Solicitation of Contributions

Covered Associates are prohibited from coordinating or soliciting any person or political action committee to make contributions to an official of a government entity to which F/m is providing or seeks to provide investment advisory services. Similarly, Covered Associates are prohibited from making payment to a political party of a state or locality where F/m is providing or seeks to provide investment advisory services to a government entity.

F/m will only compensate third parties for referrals of clients or investors that are affiliated with government entities if the solicitor is an eligible "regulated person," as defined by Rule 206(4)-5 under the Advisers Act, and if the solicitor and its Covered Associates have not made any disqualifying contributions during the past two years. The Compliance Department, in consultation with Legal Counsel as needed, is responsible for reviewing the eligibility of all solicitation arrangements that involve, or are expected to involve, government entities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. Public Office

Covered Associates must obtain written pre-approval from the Compliance Department and CEO prior to running for any public office. Covered Associates may not hold a public office if it presents any actual or apparent conflict of interest with the Firm's business activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. Political Contributions Related to Outside Business Activities

If a Covered Associate serves as an officer or director of an entity as part of a disclosed outside business activity, the Covered Associate should recuse himself from any decisions regarding that entity's political contributions. If the Employee believes that the outside business' political contributions could give even the appearance of being related to F/m's advisory activities or marketing initiatives, the Employee must discuss the matter with a Compliance representative.

A Supervised Person has violated the Code when they have not complied with the requirements of this Code. Violations may be determined to be Material or nonmaterial. A Material Code violation is a breach of the Code that raises relatively serious issues that suggest the possibility of a violation of the securities laws, particularly Section 17(j) of the 1940 Act and Rule 17j-1 thereunder or Section 206 of the Advisers Act. The triggering event can vary based on the specific facts and circumstances of a situation, but may include issues such as insider trading, front running, short-term trading, market timing or other circumstances or patterns of incidents or transactions or a series of minor violations which in their aggregate may constitute a serious violation.
