Investment Objective
The investment objective of RiverNorth Active Income ETF (the “Fund”) is to provide long-term capital appreciation and income.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses | |
| (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.89% |
| Other Expenses1 | 0.00% |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses2 | 2.47% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 3.36% |
| 1 | Other Expenses are estimated for the initial fiscal year. |
| 2 | Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses 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. |
Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| $339 | $1,033 | $1,749 | $3,644 |
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 Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year of the Predecessor Fund (as defined below) ended September 30, 2024, when it operated as a mutual fund, the Predecessor Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund’s adviser, TrueMark Investments, LLC (“TrueMark” or the “Adviser”), will allocate the Fund’s investments among international and domestic equities, fixed income securities, and cash and cash equivalents. The Adviser may allocate to the various asset classes either through the purchase of closed-end investment companies (including business development companies (“BDCs”)), exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other registered investment companies (collectively, “Underlying Funds”) or through direct investment in the various securities. The Adviser considers a number of factors when making these allocations, including fundamental and technical analysis to assess the relative risk and reward potential throughout the financial markets. As a result, the percentages allocated to equities, fixed income securities and cash and cash equivalents will vary. The Fund may invest in fixed-income securities of any maturity and does not expect to directly invest in securities rated below Baa3 by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) (securities rated below BBB by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Baa3 by Moody’s are commonly referred to as “junk bonds”), although it may invest in Underlying Funds that hold securities rated below Baa3 or that are in default.
To achieve exposure to the asset classes discussed above, the Fund will typically invest more than 50% of its assets in Underlying Funds. The remaining portion of the Fund’s assets will be invested in individual equity and fixed income securities and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), limited partnerships and structured securities, such as collateralized mortgage and debt obligations. REITs are companies that invest in real estate either directly or through mortgage securities. Collateralized mortgage obligations are securities that are backed by a pool of mortgage instruments and collateralized debt obligations are securities backed by a pool of bonds, debt or other assets. The Fund may invest directly in exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are debt securities whose returns are linked to a particular index. The Fund may also invest in structured notes, which are debt securities whose returns are linked to the performance of a single equity security, a basket of equity securities, or an equity index.
The Fund also may invest directly in the equity and debt securities of U.S. corporate issuers, and U.S. government securities. Equity securities purchased by the Fund may be of companies of any market capitalization and may include, but are not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants to buy common stocks. Fixed income securities purchased by the Fund may include corporate bonds, U.S. Treasury securities and municipal bonds. In addition, the Fund may invest without limitation in foreign securities, including securities issued in emerging market countries, either directly or by purchasing sponsored or unsponsored American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Unsponsored ADRs are generally established by banks or brokers and may not share in the benefits or voting rights of sponsored ADRs. The Fund may also invest in Underlying Funds that hold foreign securities or ADRs. The Fund may also seek to realize additional gains or hedge investments by selling a security short. When the Fund engages in a short sale, it sells a security it does not own and, to complete the sale, borrows the same security from a broker or other institution. The Fund may liquidate positions in order to change the Fund’s asset allocation or to generate cash to invest in more attractive opportunities, which may result in a larger portion of any net gains being realized as short-term capital gains. In addition, a negative change in the fundamental or qualitative characteristics of the issuer may cause the Adviser to sell a security. Finally, the Adviser may sell a security when its price approaches, meets or exceeds the Adviser’s target price.
The Fund may enter into total return swaps. Total return swaps are agreements that provide the Fund with a return based on the performance of an underlying asset (called a “reference asset”), in exchange for fee payments to a counterparty based on a specific rate of return. The difference in the value of these income streams is recorded daily by the Fund, and is settled in cash at the end of each month. The fee paid by the Fund will typically be determined by multiplying the face value of the swap agreement by an agreed upon interest rate. In addition, if the reference asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Fund would also be required to pay the dollar value of that decline to the counterparty. The Fund may use its own net asset value (“NAV”) or the NAV of a similar fund as the reference asset in a total return swap. This strategy serves to reduce “cash drag” (the impact of uninvested cash on the Fund’s overall return) by replacing it with the total return of the Fund’s own, or a similar fund’s investment holdings. The Fund records fluctuations in the value of open swap contracts on a daily basis as unrealized gains or losses.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund.”
| ● | Closed-End Fund Risk. The Fund invests in closed-end investment companies or funds. The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the NAV per share, the difference representing the “market discount” of such shares. This market discount may be due in part to the investment objective of long-term appreciation, which is sought by many closed-end funds, as well as to the fact that the shares of closed-end funds are not redeemable by the holder upon demand to the issuer at the next determined NAV, but rather, are subject to supply and demand in the secondary market. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers of closed-end fund shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a discount to their NAV. |
The Fund may invest in shares of closed-end funds that are trading at a discount to NAV or at a premium to NAV. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the Fund will ever decrease. In fact, it is possible that this market discount may increase and the Fund may suffer realized or unrealized capital losses due to further decline in the market price of the securities of such closed-end funds, thereby adversely affecting the NAV of the Fund’s shares. Similarly, there can be no assurance that any shares of a closed-end fund purchased by the Fund at a premium will continue to trade at a premium or that the premium will not decrease subsequent to a purchase of such shares by the Fund.
Closed-end funds may issue senior securities (including preferred stock and debt obligations) for the purpose of leveraging the closed-end fund’s common shares in an attempt to enhance the current return to such closed-end fund’s common shareholders. The Fund’s investment in the common shares of closed-end funds that are financially leveraged may create an opportunity for greater total return on its investment, but at the same time may be expected to exhibit more volatility in market price and NAV than an investment in shares of investment companies without a leveraged capital structure.
| ● | Market Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may increase or decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by the Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets, unexpected trading activity among retail investors, market disruptions caused by local or regional events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other public health issues, geopolitical events, recessions or other events or adverse investor sentiment or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. |
3
| ● | ETF Risk. The Fund is an ETF and thus is subject to the risks of being structured as an ETF including certain risks noted below. |
| ○ | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants (“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. |
| ○ | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and 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. |
| ○ | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. 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 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, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. |
| ○ | Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, 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 Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares, and this could lead to differences between the market price of the Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. |
| ● | Swap Risk. The Fund may invest in total return swap agreements. The degree to which the Fund may invest in these instruments is not limited, although maximum notional amounts are generally set by counterparties. These agreements are considered derivatives. Total return swaps could result in losses if the reference index, security, or investments do not perform as anticipated. The use of swaps may not always be successful; using swaps could lower Fund total return, their prices can be highly volatile, and the potential loss from the use of swaps can exceed the Fund’s initial investment in such instruments. Also, the other party to a swap agreement could default on its obligations or refuse to cash out the Fund’s investment at a reasonable price, which could turn an expected gain into a loss. |
4
| ● | Borrowing Risk. The Fund may borrow amounts up to one-third of the value of its total assets, but it will not borrow more than 5% of the value of its total assets except to satisfy redemption requests or for other temporary purposes. Such borrowings would result in increased expense to the Fund and, while they are outstanding, would magnify increases or decreases in the value of Fund shares. The Fund will not purchase additional portfolio securities while outstanding borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets. |
| ● | Convertible Security Risk. Convertible securities are subject to fixed-income securities risks and conversion value-related equity risks. The market value of convertible securities and other debt securities tends to fall when prevailing interest rates rise. The value of convertible securities also tends to change whenever the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock fluctuates. |
| ● | Correlation Risk. Because the Fund allocates its investments among different asset classes, the Fund is subject to correlation risk. Although the prices of equity securities and fixed-income securities, as well as other asset classes, often rise and fall at different times so that a fall in the price of one may be offset by a rise in the price of the other, in down markets the prices of these securities and asset classes can also fall in tandem. |
| ● | Emerging Markets Risk. Investment in emerging market securities involves greater risk than that associated with investment in securities of issuers in developed foreign countries. These risks include volatile currency exchange rates, periods of high inflation, increased risk of default, greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability, less governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets, weaker auditing and financial reporting standards, lack of liquidity in the markets, and the significantly smaller market capitalizations of emerging market issuers. |
| ● | Equity Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, rights and warrants, it will be exposed to equity risk. Equity markets may experience volatility and the value of equity securities may move in opposite directions from each other and from other equity markets generally. Preferred stocks often behave more like fixed income securities. If interest rates rise, the value of preferred stocks having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall. The value of convertible securities fluctuates with the value of the underlying stock. Convertible stocks can also fluctuate based on the issuer’s credit rating or creditworthiness and may be subject to call or redemption by the issuer. Rights and warrants do not necessarily move in parallel with the price of the underlying stock and the market for rights and warrants may be limited. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer. |
5
| ● | ETF Risks. ETFs may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities and frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses. ETFs do not sell individual shares directly to investors and only issue their shares in large blocks known as “creation units.” The investor purchasing a creation unit may sell the individual shares on a secondary market. Therefore, the liquidity of ETFs depends on the adequacy of the secondary market. Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly be subject to the fees and expenses of the individual ETFs in which the Fund invests and these fees and expenses are in addition to the fees and expenses that Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. |
| ● | Exchange-Traded Note Risk. The Fund may invest in ETNs, which are notes representing unsecured debt of the issuer. ETNs are typically linked to the performance of an index plus a specified rate of interest that could be earned on cash collateral. The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect the referenced index. There may be restrictions on the Fund’s right to redeem its investment in an ETN, and there may be limited availability of a secondary market. |
| ● | Fixed Income Risk. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, through Underlying Funds in fixed income securities, including high yield securities, also known as “junk bonds.” Fixed income securities increase or decrease in value based on changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of the Fund’s fixed income securities generally declines. On the other hand, if interest rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Junk bonds are not considered to be investment grade. Junk bonds may provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. The issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due. With regard to junk bond issuers, the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation may be more at risk. Some of the related risks of fixed income securities include: |
| ○ | Credit Risk. The risk that the issuer of a fixed income security may not be able to make interest and principal payments when due. The Fund could also be delayed or hindered in its enforcement of rights against an issuer, guarantor or counterparty. |
| ○ | High Yield Securities/Junk Bond Risk. High yield securities may provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. The market for such securities may not be liquid at all times. In a relatively illiquid market, the Fund may not be able to acquire or dispose of such securities quickly and, as such, the Fund may experience adverse price movements upon liquidation of its investments. |
| ○ | Government Risk. The U.S. government’s guarantee of ultimate payment of principal and timely payment of interest on certain U.S. government securities owned by the Fund does not imply that the Fund’s shares are guaranteed or that the price of the Fund’s shares will not fluctuate. All U.S. government obligations are subject to interest rate risk. |
| ○ | Interest Rate Risk. The risk that the Fund’s share price and total return will vary in response to changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of the Fund’s investments generally will decline, as will the value of your investment in the Fund. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. Any future declines in interest rates could cause the Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s share price. Securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields, but are more sensitive to changes in interest rates and are subject to greater fluctuations in value. |
6
| ○ | Sovereign Obligation Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in sovereign debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Underlying Funds may have limited recourse in the event of a default. |
| ● | Foreign Investing Risk. Investments in foreign securities may be affected by currency controls and exchange rates, different accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and legal standards and practices, expropriation, changes in tax policy, greater market volatility, less publicly available information, less stringent investor protections, differing securities market structures, higher transaction costs, and various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions or in receiving payment of dividends. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging or developing countries. |
| ● | Investment Style Risk. The Fund is managed by allocating the Fund’s assets to Underlying Funds. Underlying Funds charge their own management and operating fees. This may cause the Fund to underperform funds that do not allocate their assets to Underlying Funds. |
| ● | Large Shareholder Purchase and Redemption Risk. The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell its securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s NAV and liquidity. Similarly, large purchases of the Fund’s shares may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio. |
| ● | Liquidity Risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of investments, it can become more difficult to sell the investments in a timely manner at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such investments and the Fund’s share price may fall dramatically, even during periods of declining interest rates. Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value. Investments in foreign securities tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities. Liquidity risk also may refer to the risk that the Fund will not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the allowable time period stated in this Prospectus because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high volume of redemption requests, or other reasons. To meet redemption requests, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, which may adversely affect the Fund’s share price. |
| ● | Management Risk. The risk that the Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or individual security in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the Adviser’s judgment will produce the desired results. |
| ● | Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stock represents the senior residual interest in the assets of an issuer after meeting all claims, with priority to corporate income and liquidation payments over the issuer’s common stock. As such, preferred stock is inherently more risky than the bonds and other debt instruments of the issuer, but less risky than its common stock. There is no assurance that dividends on preferred stocks in which the Fund invests will be declared or otherwise made payable. When interest rates fall below the rate payable on an issue of preferred stock or for other reasons, the issuer may redeem the preferred stock, generally after an initial period of call protection in which the stock is not redeemable. Preferred stocks may be significantly less liquid than many other securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate debt and common stock. |
7
| ● | REIT Risk. The value of equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value and vacancy rate of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while the value of mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. Investment in REITs involves risks similar to those associated with investing in small capitalization companies, and REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are subject to interest rate risks. Mortgage REITs are also subject to prepayment risk. Because REITs incur expenses like management fees, investments in REITs also add an additional layer of expenses. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). |
| ● | Security Risk. The risk that the value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of individual securities in the Fund’s portfolio. |
| ● | Short Sale Risk. Positions in shorted securities are speculative and more risky than long positions (purchases) in securities. Short selling will also result in higher transaction costs (such as interest and dividends), and may result in higher taxes, which reduce the Fund’s return. Generally, the short sales in which the Fund may invest will not be “against the box,” meaning the Fund will not own the shorted security, so theoretically the potential loss resulting from short sales is unlimited. |
| ● | Smaller Company Risk. The Fund, directly or indirectly through Underlying Funds, may invest in smaller capitalization companies (companies with market capitalizations of $1 billion or less). The earnings and prospects of smaller companies are more volatile than those of larger companies. Smaller companies also may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. In addition, the securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than the securities of larger companies, which may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies. Finally, smaller companies may have limited markets, product lines or financial resources and may lack management experience. |
| ● | Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes are subject to a number of fixed income risks including general market risk, interest rate risk, and the risk that the issuer on the note may fail to make interest and/or principal payments when due, or may default on its obligations entirely. In addition, as a result of the imbedded derivative features, structured notes generally are subject to more risk than investing in a simple note or bond issued by the same issuer. |
| ● | Tax Risk. With respect to federal income taxes, any distributions to shareholders that represent income from taxable securities will generally be taxable as ordinary income, while other distributions, such as capital gains, are taxable to the same extent they would be for any mutual fund. Distributions also are generally subject to state taxes with certain exceptions (e.g. some states may have an exception where a portion of the Fund’s income is attributable to municipal securities issued in the state in which you reside). New federal or state governmental action could adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal securities held by the Fund, resulting in higher tax liability for shareholders and potentially hurting Fund performance as well. |
8
| ● | Underlying Fund Risk. The Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses, including advisory fees, when it invests in Underlying Funds. There is also the risk that the Fund may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the Underlying Funds (such as the use of derivatives). The ETFs in which the Fund invests that attempt to track an index may not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track, due to transaction costs and other expenses of the ETFs. The shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to their NAV. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the Fund will ever decrease, and it is possible that the discount may increase. In addition, certain closed-end funds utilize leverage in their portfolios. This use of leverage could subject the Underlying Fund, and indirectly, the Fund, to increased risks including increased volatility in the price of the Underlying Fund shares. |
| ● | Valuation Risk. Unlike publicly traded common stock that trades on national exchanges, there is no central exchange for loans or fixed-income instruments to trade. Loans and fixed-income instruments generally trade on an “over-the-counter” market, which may be anywhere in the world where the buyer and seller can settle on a price. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the valuation of loans or fixed-income instruments may carry more risk than that of common stock. Additionally, fair valuation of the Fund’s investments involves subjective judgment, and the Fund’s ability to value its investments may be impacted by technological issues and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers. |
Performance
The Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the RiverNorth Core Opportunity Fund, a series of RiverNorth Funds (the “Predecessor Fund”), in a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Predecessor Fund on August 1, 2025. The Fund has adopted the financial statements of the Predecessor Fund, as the accounting survivor of the Reorganization. Performance results shown in the bar chart and the performance table below reflect the performance of the Class R shares of the Predecessor Fund. Note that the Fund is managed by a new investment adviser using substantially the same investment strategies as employed for the Predecessor Fund. The Fund’s current sub-adviser was the adviser to the Predecessor Fund. In addition, the Fund is an exchange-traded fund, while the Predecessor Fund, prior to the Reorganization, was a mutual fund.
The bar chart and table that follow provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing how the Predecessor Fund’s performance has varied overtime and by showing how the Predecessor Fund’s average annual total returns for the one-year, five-year, ten-year, and since inception periods compare with those of a broad-based securities market index. The bar chart and table show the performance of the Predecessor Fund’s Class R shares. How the Predecessor Fund has performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is also available on the Fund’s website at www.RiverNorth.com.

Average Annual Total Returns (as of December 31, 2024)
| 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Since Inception (12/27/06) | |
| Return Before Taxes | 13.47% | 6.54% | 6.69% | 7.46% |
| Return After Taxes on Distributions | 10.97% | 3.27% | 3.17% | 4.71% |
| Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares | 7.94% | 3.75% | 3.93% | 5.00% |
| S&P 500 Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes) | 25.02% | 14.53% | 13.10 | 13.33% |
| Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses, or taxes) | 1.25% | -0.33% | 1.35% | 1.46% |
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates during the period covered by the table above and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans, an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or other tax-advantaged accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Purchase and Sale of Shares
Shares are listed on the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers 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).
The 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. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/ or a designated amount of U.S. cash.
Investors 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”). Recent information about the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available on the Fund’s website at www.RiverNorth.com.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an 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 Adviser or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the 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 Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary’s website for more information.
