***Toews Agility Shares Managed Risk ETF***

**MRSK**

**Primary Listing Exchange for the Fund: NYSE Arca, Inc.**

**Summary Prospectus**

**August 28, 2025**

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's Prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. The Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, both dated August 28, 2025, along with the Fund's Annual Report dated April 30, 2025, are incorporated by reference into this Summary Prospectus. You can obtain these documents and other information about the Fund online at https://toewsetfs.com. You can also obtain these documents at no cost by calling 1-800-511-9270 or by sending an email request to OrderToews@ultimusfundsolutions.com.

**Investment Objectives:** The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital and income, while limiting risk.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund:** This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries,

which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Shareholder Fees** <br> *(fees paid directly from your investment)* | |
| Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases |  |
| Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) |  |
| Maximum Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Reinvested Dividends and Other Distributions |  |
| Redemption Fee |  |
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br> *(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* |  |
| Management Fees | 0.85% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.17% |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses<sup>(1)</sup> | 0.03% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.05% |
| Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement<sup>(2)</sup> | (0.07)% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement | 0.98% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, which are estimated
for the Fund's current fiscal year, are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. The operating expenses in
this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund's financial highlights because the financial statements include
only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Fund's adviser has contractually agreed
to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Fund, through at least August 31, 2026, to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
After Fee Waiver and/or Reimbursement (exclusive of any (i) front-end or contingent deferred loads;<br>
(ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) taxes; or (v) extraordinary expenses such as litigation
(which may include indemnification of Fund officers and Trustees or contractual indemnification of Fund service providers (other than
the adviser)) will not exceed 0.95%; subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three year basis (within
the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed), if such recoupment can be achieved within the foregoing expense limits.
This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days' written notice to the adviser.

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

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

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>1 Year</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>3 Years</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>5 Years</u>** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>10 Years</u>** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;$100 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$327 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$573 | &nbsp;&nbsp;$1276 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover:** The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, may adversely affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal period, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 6% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies:** 

The Fund seeks exposure to the large-cap U.S. equity market primarily through investment in S&P 500 Index futures contracts, ETFs that track the S&P 500 Index, and/or the component stocks of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund buys put options against these positions to offset the risk of adverse price movements, and buys and writes call and/or put options against the same positions to reduce volatility and to receive income from written call options.

The Fund's adviser (the "Adviser") seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing in: 1) equity and equity index futures, 2) equity index options, 3) options on equity index futures, 4) options on exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), 5) ETFs that invest primarily in common stocks, 6) ETFs that invest primarily in fixed income securities, 7) common stocks, 8) fixed income securities and 9) cash or cash equivalents.

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

* *Allocation Risk:* The risk that if the Fund's strategy for allocating
assets among different assets classes does not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objective or may underperform other funds
with the same or similar investment strategy.

* *Derivatives Risk:* The Fund's use of derivatives involves
risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.
These risks include leverage risk and correlation or tracking risk.

* *Equity 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 the Fund's portfolio
or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. To the extent that the Fund has investment exposure
to large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when large cap company securities are out of favor.

* *ETF Underlying Fund Risk:* ETFs are subject to investment advisory
fees and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than
the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other exchange-traded funds that invest directly in securities. Each ETF
is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments. Investment in the Fund should be made with the understanding that the ETFs
in which the Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track because the total return generated
by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs incurred in adjusting the actual balance of the securities. The market value of
the ETF shares may differ from their net asset value. Accordingly, there may be times when an ETF share trades at a premium or discount
to its net asset value.

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Not Individually Redeemable. Shares are not individually redeemable and
may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units." You may incur brokerage costs purchasing
enough Shares to constitute a Creation Unit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Trading Issues. Trading in Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market
conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility.
There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. An active trading market for the
Fund's shares may not be developed or maintained. If the Fund's shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system,
the number of financial institutions that can act as authorized participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which
may limit the market for the Fund's shares. To the extent that those authorized participants exit the business or are unable to
process creation or redemption orders and no other authorized participants are able to step forward to do so, there may be a significantly
diminished trading market for the Fund's shares. This could lead to differences between market price and underlying value of shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Liquidity Risk. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's
shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the market for the Fund's underlying holdings. This adverse
effect on the liquidity of the Fund's shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the Fund's shares
and the Fund's net asset value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Cash Transaction Risk. Purchases and redemptions of creation units that
are made primarily with cash, rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may cause the Fund to incur additional costs
including brokerage costs and taxable capital gains or losses that the Fund may not have incurred if the Fund had made redemptions in-kind.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Market Price Variance Risk. Individual Shares of the Fund that are listed
for trading on the Exchange can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of Shares will fluctuate
in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly
and you may pay more than NAV when buying Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive less than NAV when you sell those Shares.
The market price of Shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes a "bid-ask spread" charged by the
exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the particular security. In times of severe market disruption, the
bid-ask spread often increases significantly. This means that Shares may trade 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 Fund's investment
results are measured based upon the daily NAV of the Fund over a period of time. Investors purchasing and selling Shares in the secondary
market may not experience investment results consistent with those experienced by those creating and redeeming directly with the Fund.

* *Fixed Income Risk:* When the Fund invests in fixed income securities,
the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline
in the value of fixed income securities. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease
more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default)
and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the
value of a particular investment, possibly causing the Fund's share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than
other types of investments.

* *Fluctuation of Net Asset Value Risk:* The NAV of the Fund's
shares will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The market prices of the shares will generally
fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of and demand for the shares on the Exchange. The Adviser cannot
predict whether the shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply
and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for the shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces
influencing the prices of the Fund's holdings trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. In addition, unlike
conventional ETFs, the Fund is not an index fund. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified
index. Index based ETFs have generally traded at prices which closely correspond to NAV per share. Actively managed ETFs have a limited
trading history and, therefore, there can be no assurance as to whether and/or the extent to which the shares will trade at premiums or
discounts to NAV.

* *Futures Risk:* The Fund's use of futures contracts involves
risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments.
These risks include leverage risk and correlation or tracking risk. Because futures require only a small initial investment in the form
of a deposit or margin, they involve a high degree of leverage. Under certain market conditions, futures contracts may become illiquid.
As a result, the Fund may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous or take an offsetting defensive
position, potentially resulting in significant losses for the Fund.

* *Issuer Risk:* Fund value might decrease in response to the activities
and financial prospects of an individual company or issuer in the Fund's portfolio. The value of an individual issuer can be more
volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of certain types of
companies or issuers can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

* *Large Capitalization Stock Risk:* Large-capitalization companies
may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large-capitalization companies may be more
mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the
performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.

* *Management Risk:* The ability of the Fund to meet its investment
objective is directly related to the adviser's investment model. The models used by the adviser to determine or guide investment
decisions may not achieve the objectives of the Fund. The adviser's assessment of the attractiveness and potential appreciation
of particular investments or markets in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the adviser's
investment strategy will produce the desired results. The returns generated by the Fund's strategy may be volatile and may result
in material losses for the Fund.

* *Market and Geopolitical Risk:* The increasing interconnectivity
between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may
adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund may underperform due to inflation
(or expectations for inflation), interest

rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change or climate -related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as a worldwide pandemic, terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund. For example, the COVID-19 global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.

* *Options Risk:* Options are subject to changes in the underlying
securities or index of securities on which such instruments are based. Typically, the seller (writer) of a covered put or call option
assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the strike price of the underlying security less the
premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option and the buyer
of a put or call option, risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if it does not exercise the option.

* *Portfolio Turnover Risk:* Portfolio turnover results in higher
brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs and may result in taxable capital gains. Higher costs associated with
increased portfolio turnover may offset gains in the Fund's performance.

**Performance:** The bar chart and performance table below show the variability of the Fund's returns, which is some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

\* CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index is a benchmark index designed to show the hypothetical performance of a portfolio that engages in a buywrite strategy using S&P 500 index call options. Investor cannot invest directly in an index.

The Fund's primary benchmark index has been changed to the S&P 500 Total Return Index because it is a more appropriate index given the Fund's strategy and portfolio holdings. The S&P 500 Total Return Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index which is comprised of 500 of the largest U.S. domiciled companies and includes the reinvestment of all dividends. Investors cannot invest directly in an index or benchmark. CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index is a benchmark index designed to show the hypothetical performance of a portfolio that engages in a buywrite strategy using S&P 500 index call options. Investor cannot invest directly in an index.

After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rate and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder's tax situation and may differ from those shown. The after-tax returns are not relevant if you hold your Fund shares in tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts ("IRA").

**Adviser:** Toews Corporation is the Fund's investment adviser.

**Portfolio Managers:** Phillip Toews, President, Randall Schroeder, Chief Operating Officer, Jason Graffius, Head of Research, and Charles Collins, Head of Trading, of the adviser, serve as the Fund's Co-Portfolio Managers and are jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Messrs. Toews, Schroeder, Graffius and Collins have each served the Fund in this capacity since the Fund commenced operations in June 2020.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares:** The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at net asset value per Share ("NAV") only in large blocks of 25,000 Shares (each block of Shares is called a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed for cash and/or in-kind for securities. Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange") and trade at market prices rather than NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV.

**Tax Information:** Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you are investing through a tax-free plan. If you are investing through a tax-free plan, you will be taxed upon withdrawal from your account.

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