CONSIDER THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE, RISK FACTORS, AND CHARGES AND EXPENSES BEFORE INVESTING. THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN THE FUNDS’ PROSPECTUS WHICH CAN BE OBTAINED BY CALLING 1-844-SYM-FUND (844-796-3863). PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.

RISK CONSIDERATIONS – Higher potential return generally involves greater risk, short-term volatility is not uncommon when investing in various types of funds including but not limited to: sector, emerging markets, small and mid-cap funds. International investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, political and economic uncertainties, and differences in accounting standards. Risks of foreign investing are generally intensified for investments in emerging markets. Risks for emerging markets include risks relating to the relatively smaller size and lesser liquidity of these markets, high inflation rates and adverse political developments. Risks for investing in international equity include foreign currency risk, as well as, fluctuation due to economic or political actions of foreign governments and/or less regulated or liquid markets. Risks for smaller companies include business risks, significant stock price fluctuation and illiquidity. Investing in real estate entails certain risks, including changes in: the economy, supply and demand, laws, tenant turnover, interest rates (including periods of high interest rates), availability of mortgage funds, operation expenses and cost of insurance. Some real estate investments offer limited liquidity options. Investing in higher-yielding, lower-rated bonds has a greater risk of price fluctuation and loss of principal income than U.S. government securities, such as U.S. Treasury bond and bills. Treasuries and government securities are guaranteed by the government for repayment of principal and interest if held to maturity. Investors should carefully assess the risks associated with an investment in the fund.

ETFs are exposed to the following risks:

Trading Risk – ETFs are exchange traded and shares of the Fund may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. In addition, although the Fund’s shares are currently listed, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable.

Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk – Only a limited number of institutional investors (known as “Authorized Participants”) are authorized to purchase and redeem ETF shares directly from the Fund. 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, Fund shares may trade at a material premium or discount to net asset value (“NAV”) and possibly face delisting if: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants 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

Momentum Style Risk – Investing in or having exposure to securities with positive momentum entails investing in securities that have had above-average recent returns. These securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of the Fund using a momentum strategy may suffer.

Quantitative Investing Risk – The risk that the value of securities or other investments selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. This may be as a result of the momentum metrics used in building the quantitative model, the accuracy of historical data supplied by third parties, and changing sources of market returns.

Sector Risk – From time to time, the Fund may focus its investments in one or more particular sectors. Sector risk is the risk that if the Fund invests a significant portion of its total assets in certain issuers within the same economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development affecting that sector may affect the value of the Fund’s investments more than if the Fund’s investments were not so focused.

Non-Diversified Risk – The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or political occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers and may experience increased volatility due to its investmentsin those securities.

Model Portfolio Risks

Investing in a model portfolio involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. Model portfolios are constructed based on certain assumptions and investment strategies that may not be appropriate for all investors. While model portfolios are designed to achieve specific investment objectives (such as income, growth, or balanced outcomes), there is no guarantee that those objectives will be met.

As part of certain investment model portfolios, we may recommend or allocate a portion of client assets to proprietary investment products, such as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that are managed by our firm (“Proprietary ETFs”).

As part of certain investment model portfolios, we may recommend or allocate a portion of client assets to proprietary investment products, such as Funds that are managed by our firm (“Proprietary Funds”). When client assets are invested in a Proprietary Fund, Symmetry Partners, LLC will receive a management fee for managing that Fund that is distinct from the fees assessed for managing the investment model portfolio. This creates a potential conflict of interest, as we have a financial incentive to include the Proprietary Funds in your portfolio in order to earn additional compensation beyond the advisory fee you pay directly to us.

Diversification seeks to reduce volatility by spreading your investment dollars into various asset classes to add balance to your portfolio. Using this methodology, however, does not guarantee a profit or protection from loss in a declining market. Rebalancing assets can have tax consequences. If you sell assets in a taxable account you may have to pay tax on any gain resulting from the sale. Please consult your tax advisor.

Symmetry Partners’ investment approach seeks enhanced returns by overweighting assets that exhibit characteristics that tend to be in accordance with one or more “factors” identified in academic research as historically associated with higher returns. Please be advised that adding these factors may not ensure increased return over a market weighted investment and may lead to underperformance relative to the benchmark over the investor’s time horizon. The factors Symmetry seeks to capture may change over time at its discretion. Currently, the major factors in equity markets used by Symmetry and some associated academic research are: market (Sharpe, William F. “Capital Asset Prices: A Theory of Market Equilibrium under Conditions of Risk,” Journal of Finance, Vol. 19, No. 3 (Sept. 1964), 425-442.); market, size, value profitability, and investment (Fama, Eugene and Ken French. “A Five-factor Asset Pricing Model,” Journal of Financial Economics, Vol. 116, (Apr. 2015), 1-22.); size (Asness, Clifford., Andrea Frazzini, Ronen Israel, Tobias Moskowitz, and Lasse Pedersen “Size Matters, If You Control Your Junk,” Journal of Financial Economics, Vol. 129 (Sept. 2018), 479-509); profitability (Novy-Marx, Robert. “The Other Side of Value: The Gross Profitability Premium,” Journal of Financial Economics, Vol. 108 (Apr. 2013), 1-28); quality (Asness, Clifford S., Andrea Frazzini, and Lasse H. Pedersen. “Quality Minus Junk,” Review of Accounting Studies, Vol. 24 (Nov. 2018), 34-112); momentum (Jegadeesh, Narasimhan and Sheridan Titman. “Returns to Buying Winners and Selling Losers: Implications for Stock Market Efficiency,” Journal of Finance, Vol. 48, (March 1993), 65-91); minimum volatility (Ang, Andrew., Robert J. Hodrick, Yuhang Xing and Xiaoyan Zhang. “The Cross-Section of Volatility and Expected Returns,” Journal of Finance, Vol. 61 (Feb. 2006), 259-299.) In the bond markets, the major factors used by Symmetry are: maturity and credit (Ilmanen, Antti. “Expected Returns: An Investor’s Guide to Harvesting Market Rewards,” Wiley Finance (2011), 157-158 and 183-185.); value, quality, and momentum (Brooks Jordan., Diogo Palhares, and Scott Richardson. “Style Investing in Fixed Income,” Journal of Portfolio Management, Vol. 44 (Third Edition 2018), 127-139.); low volatility (de Carvalho, Raul Leote., Patrick Dugnolle, Xiao Lu, and Pierre Moulin, “Low-Risk Anomalies in Global Fixed Income: Evidence from Major Broad Markets,” Journal of Fixed Income Vol. 23 (2014), pp. 51-70).
