The Fund’s Rule 12b‑1 Plan is authorized but inactive, such that no related fees accrue to the Fund.
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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
One Year     Three Years     Five Years     Ten Years  
$ 87     $ 271     $ 471     $ 1,049  
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 of the Fund are held in a taxable account as compared to shares of investment companies that hold investments for a longer period. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
Because amounts relating to derivatives and securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less are excluded from the portfolio turnover calculation and these are the only types of instruments held by the Fund, the Fund did not report a portfolio turnover rate during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Principal Strategies
 
The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its objective by: (i) investing its assets pursuant to a managed futures strategy (described below); (ii) allocating up to 20% of its total assets in its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”); and (iii) investing directly in select debt instruments for cash management and other purposes. The Subsidiary, which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is advised by the Fund’s sub‑advisor, Dynamic Beta investments (“DBi” or the “Sub‑Advisor”), and will comply with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies .
The Fund’s managed futures strategy employs long and short positions in derivatives, primarily futures contracts and forward contracts, across the broad asset classes of equities, fixed income, currencies and, through the Subsidiary, commodities. Fund positions in those contracts are determined based on a proprietary, quantitative model – the Dynamic Beta Engine – that seeks to identify the main drivers of performance by approximating the current asset allocation of a selected pool of the largest commodity trading hedge fund managers (the “Target”), which are managers that use futures or forward contracts to achieve their investment objectives. The Dynamic Beta Engine analyzes recent (i.e., trailing 60‑day) performance of the Target in order to identify a portfolio of liquid financial instruments that closely reflects the Target’s estimated current asset allocation with the goal of simulating the performance, but not the underlying positions, of the Target.
The Sub‑Advisor relies exclusively on the Dynamic Beta Engine and does not have discretion to override the model-determined asset allocation or portfolio weights. The Sub‑Advisor will periodically review whether instruments should be added to or removed from the model in order to improve the model’s efficiency. The model’s asset allocation is limited to asset classes that are traded on U.S.-based exchanges. Based on this analysis, the Fund will invest in an optimized portfolio of long and short positions in domestically-traded, liquid derivative contracts selected from a pool of the most liquid derivative contracts, as determined by the Sub‑Advisor.
Futures contracts and forward contracts are contractual agreements to buy or sell a particular currency, commodity or financial instrument at a pre‑determined price in the future. The Fund takes long positions in derivative contracts that provide exposure to various asset classes, sectors and/or markets that the Fund expects to rise in value, and takes short positions in asset classes, sectors and/or markets that the Fund expects to fall in value. Agreeing to buy the underlying instrument is called buying a futures contract or taking a long position in the contract. Likewise, agreeing to sell the underlying instrument is called selling a futures contract or taking a short position in the contract.
The Fund may have gross notional exposure, which is defined as the sum of the notional exposure of both long and short derivative positions across the Fund, that approximates the current asset allocation and the risk profile of a diversified pool of the largest Commodity Trading Advisors (“CTAs”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and
 
 
2       Litman Gregory Funds Trust

interpretations thereunder, impose certain limitations on the Fund’s ability to use leverage. Under normal market conditions, the Sub‑Advisor will seek to achieve Fund volatility of 8‑10% on an annual basis, which refers to the approximate maximum amount of expected gains or losses during a given year expressed as a percentage of value.
The Sub‑Advisor will, in an effort to reduce certain risks (e.g., volatility of returns), limit the Fund’s gross notional exposure on certain futures contracts whose returns are expected to be particularly volatile. In addition to these specific exposure limits, the Sub‑Advisor will use quantitative methods to assess the level of risk for the Fund.
The Fund intends to gain exposure to commodities through its investments in the Subsidiary and may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity futures, but it may also invest in financial futures, fixed income securities, pooled investment vehicles, including those that are not registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivative instruments; however, the Subsidiary complies with the same 1940 Act requirements with respect to its investments in commodity-linked derivatives that are applicable to the Fund’s transactions in derivatives. In addition, to the extent applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will be subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions and will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is the sole investor in the Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors.
In addition to its use of futures and investment in the Subsidiary, the Fund expects, under normal circumstances, to invest a large portion of the portfolio in debt securities in order to collateralize its derivative investments, for liquidity purposes, or to enhance yield. The Fund may hold fixed income instruments of varying maturities, but that have an average duration of less than one year. In particular, the Fund may hold government money market instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency discount notes and bonds with maturities of two years or less.
The Fund will not invest in cryptocurrency or digital assets or cryptocurrency or digital asset derivatives.
Principal Risks
 
As with any investment, it is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, government authority or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The following risks could affect the value of your investment. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of
the order in which it appears. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), total return and/or ability to meet its objective.
 
  Managed Futures Strategy Risk. In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will utilize various investment strategies that involve the use of complex investment techniques, and there is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed. The use of such strategies and techniques may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss. There can be no assurance that utilizing a certain approach or model will achieve a particular level of return or reduce volatility and loss.
 
  Futures Contracts Risk. Futures contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. There is an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying instrument or reference assets with respect to such contracts. Futures contracts pose the risk of a possible lack of a liquid secondary market, resulting in the potential inability to close a futures contract when desired. Futures contracts are also subject to risks related to possible market disruptions or other extraordinary events, including but not limited to, governmental intervention, and potentially unlimited losses caused by unanticipated market movements. Futures contracts are subject to the possibility that the counterparties to the contracts will default in the performance of their obligations. If the Fund has insufficient cash, it may either have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements with respect to its futures contracts, or close certain positions at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Sub‑Advisor’s skill and experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk considerations.
The use of futures contracts, which are derivative instruments, will have the economic effect of financial leverage. Financial leverage magnifies exposure to the swings in prices of an asset class underlying an investment and results in increased volatility, which means the Fund will have the potential for greater losses than if the Fund did not employ leverage in its investment activity. Leveraging tends to magnify, sometimes significantly, the effect of any increase or decrease in the Fund’s exposure to an asset class and may cause the value of the Fund’s securities or related derivatives instruments to be volatile. There is no assurance that the Fund’s investment in a futures contract with leveraged exposure to certain investments and markets will enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
 
  Market Risk. The value of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, tariffs, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.
 
 
Fund Summary         3

  Geopolitical Events Risk. The interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, trade disputes, supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, cybersecurity events, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.
 
  Derivatives Risk. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on, and are valued in relation to, one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks or indices, such as futures swap agreements and forward contracts. Derivatives typically have economic leverage inherent in their terms. The primary types of derivatives in which the Fund or the Subsidiary invest are futures contracts and forward contracts. Futures contracts and forward contracts can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and changes in the value of such instruments held directly or indirectly by the Fund may not correlate with the underlying instrument or reference assets, or the Fund’s other investments. Although the value of futures contracts and forward contracts depends largely upon price movements in the underlying instrument or reference asset, there are additional risks associated with futures contracts and forward contracts that are possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying instruments or reference assets, including illiquidity risk, leveraging risk and counterparty credit risk. A small position in futures contracts or forward contracts could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and forward contracts.
 
  Commodities Risk. Exposure to the commodities markets (including financial futures markets) may subject the Fund, through its investment in the Subsidiary, to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including changes in interest rates, supply and demand relationships and balances of payments and trade; weather and natural disasters; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies, public health crises and trade or price wars among commodity producers or buyers. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions and other disruptions. U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices.
  Equity Securities Risk. The Fund may have exposure to equity securities. Equity securities tend to be more volatile than other investment choices, such as debt and money market instruments. The value of your investment may decrease in response to overall stock market movements or the value of individual securities.
 
  Currency Risk. The Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency that the Fund is short. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for any number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.
 
  Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the security or a counterparty in respect of a derivative instrument will not be able to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Securities rated in the four highest categories by the rating agencies are considered investment grade but they may also have some speculative characteristics. Investment grade ratings do not guarantee that bonds will not lose value or default. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes.
 
  ETF Risks. The 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 Limitation 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 of the 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.
 
  ¡    Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in‑kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in‑kind redemption process was used.
 
  ¡    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 and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, 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. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
 
  ¡    Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, 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.
 
  Leverage Risk. Although the Fund will not borrow funds for trading, the Fund should be considered highly leveraged and is suitable for investors with high tolerance for investment risk. Leverage embedded in the various derivative instruments traded may result in the Fund or its Subsidiary holding positions whose face or notional value may be many times the Fund’s NAV. As a result of this leveraging, even a small movement in the price of a commodity can cause a correspondingly large profit or loss. Losses incurred on leveraged investments increase in direct proportion to the degree of leverage employed. Furthermore, derivative instruments and futures contracts are highly volatile and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial fluctuations. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the variations of returns of a security or fund or index over time. Higher volatility generally indicates high risk. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund should the Fund’s trading positions suddenly turn unprofitable.
 
  Debt Securities and Fixed-Income Risk. Fixed income securities, such as U.S. Treasuries, or derivatives based on fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk, as described more fully above, refers to the possibility that the issuer of a debt security will be unable to make interest payments or repay principal when it becomes due. Interest rate risk, as described more fully below, refers to fluctuations in the value of a debt security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Prices of fixed income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed income security prices and, accordingly, the Fund’s returns and share price. In addition, the Fund may be subject to “call” risk, which is the risk that during a period of falling interest rates the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early (which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at
   
lower interest rates), and “extension” risk, which occurs during a rising interest rate environment because certain obligations will be paid off by an issuer more slowly than anticipated (causing the value of those securities held by the Fund to fall).
 
  Interest Rate Risk. Prices of fixed income securities generally increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates increase. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by the Sub‑Advisor. The Fund may be subject to heightened interest rate risk due to rising rates as the current period of historically low interest rates may be ending. Interest rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, but increasing interest rates may have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investment portfolio as a whole, as investors and markets adjust expected returns relative to such increasing rates. The negative impact on fixed income securities from the resulting rate increases for that and other reasons could be swift and significant.
 
  Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.
 
  Models and Data Risk. This is the risk that one or all of the proprietary systematic and quantitative models may fail to identify profitable opportunities at any time. Furthermore, the models may incorrectly identify opportunities and these misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses for the Fund. Models may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. Data used in the construction of models may prove to be inaccurate or stale, which may result in losses for the Fund.
 
  Government Securities and Agency Risk. Direct obligations of the U.S. Government such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds are supported by its full faith and credit. Indirect obligations issued by Federal agencies and government-sponsored entities generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Accordingly, while U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities may be chartered or sponsored by Acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Some of these indirect obligations may be supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; others are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations; still others are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality.
 
  Liquidity Risk. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk primarily due to its investments in derivatives. Investments in derivative instruments involve the risk that the Fund may be unable to sell the derivative instrument or sell it at a reasonable price.
 
  Short Position Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.
 
 
Fund Summary         5

iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF — (Continued)
 
  Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund.
 
  Forward Contracts Risk. Forward contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract as agreed by the parties in an amount and at a price set at the time of the contract. At the maturity of a forward contract, a fund may either accept or make delivery of the currency specified in the contract or, at or prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. The Fund may invest in non‑deliverable forwards, which are cash-settled, short-term forward contracts on foreign currencies that are non‑convertible and that may be thinly traded or illiquid. The use of forward contracts involves various risks, including the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk that the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligations.
 
  Tax Risk. The federal income tax treatment of the Fund’s income from the Subsidiary may be negatively affected by future legislation, Treasury Regulations (proposed or final), and/or other Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance or authorities that could affect the character, timing of recognition, and/or amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains and, therefore, the distributions it makes. If the Fund failed the source of income test for any taxable year but was eligible to and did cure the failure, it could incur potentially significant additional federal income tax expenses. If, on the other hand, the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure the failure, it would be subject to federal income tax at the fund-level on its taxable income at the regular corporate tax rate (without reduction for distributions to shareholders), with the consequence that its income available for distribution to shareholders would be reduced and distributions from its current or accumulated earnings and profits would generally be taxable to its shareholders as dividend income.
Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands
taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.
 
  Inflation Risk. At any time, the Fund may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time.
 
  Cybersecurity Risk. With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. Cyber incidents affecting the Fund or its service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of 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.
 
  Operational Risk. Operational risks include human error, changes in personnel, system changes, faults in communication, and failures in systems, technology, or processes. Various operational events or circumstances are outside the Advisor’s or Sub‑Advisor’s control, including instances at third parties. The Fund, the Advisor and the Sub‑Advisor 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 these risks.
 
  Regulatory Risk. Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by the Fund or its Subsidiary or that could adversely impact the Fund’s performance.
Performance
 
Simultaneous with the Fund’s commencement of operation on September 20, 2021, the Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the iM DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Predecessor Fund”), in a reorganization (the “Reorganization”). The Fund assumed the performance and accounting history of the Predecessor Fund on the date of the Reorganization. Performance prior to September 20, 2021 is that of the Predecessor Fund.
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year. The table below shows how the Fund’s average annual total returns for the 1-year, 5-year, and since inception periods compare to those of a broad-based market index. Past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.imgp.com.

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 of the Fund are held in a taxable account as compared to shares of investment companies that hold investments for a longer period. 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, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 30% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Strategies
 
The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of U.S. companies that pay dividends annually, with an emphasis on stocks that have a strong track record of paying
quarterly dividends or that are expected to increase their dividends over the next one to five years. The Fund seeks to generate a growing stream of equity income by investing in a select portfolio of high-quality businesses that the Fund’s sub‑advisor, Berkshire Asset Management LLC (“Berkshire” or the “Sub‑Advisor”), believes generally have a high, stable, and growing dividend. The Sub‑Advisor focuses on a company’s regular, periodic dividends in its analysis of dividend growth, but may also take into account past payments of special dividends, meaning a non‑recurring, one‑time dividend distributed to a company’s stockholders. The Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher at the time of initial purchase.
The Fund seeks to invest in companies that have a current dividend yield that is at least as high as the S&P 500 Index average yield. The Fund may invest in companies with a lower dividend yield, however, if the Sub‑Advisor believes that those companies have a clear path to paying higher dividends.
In selecting investments for the Fund, the Sub‑Advisor considers the amount of a company’s current dividend yield, the stability of the dividend, and the growth of the dividend. The Sub‑Advisor evaluates a company’s balance sheet as it relates to the stability of the dividend, including how the amount of a company’s leverage could potentially impact that dividend. In addition, the Sub‑Advisor looks for companies that have a history of dividend growth, as well as prospects for future dividend growth. In assessing dividend growth, the Sub‑Advisor looks for companies with strong return on equity, which is a measure of a company’s profitability in relation to its stockholders’ equity.
The Fund’s portfolio is comprised of 30 to 40 high-quality companies that the Sub‑Advisor views as reasonably priced, where the companies are paying and growing dividends over a period of time of one to five years. The Fund seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted returns when compared to both the Russell 1000 Value Index and S&P 500 Index. The Fund may focus its investments from time to time in one or more sectors of the economy or stock market as a result of the implementation of its principal investment strategies, but sector focus is not a principal investment strategy of the Fund.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign equity securities, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued in connection with a U.S. or foreign bank or trust company that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation.
The Fund will not invest in cryptocurrency or digital assets or cryptocurrency or digital asset derivatives.
Securities may be sold if they underperform or to implement a revised allocation based on a modified view of market conditions. The Fund may also sell a security when the Sub‑Advisor believes that the security is overvalued or better investment opportunities are available, to invest in cash and cash equivalents, or to meet redemptions.

Principal Risks
 
As with all exchange-traded funds, it is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, government authority or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The following risks could affect the value of your investment. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), total return and/or ability to meet its objective.
 
  Dividend Paying Securities Risk. The Fund’s emphasis on dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other stocks, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. In addition, issuers of dividend-paying stocks typically have discretion to defer or stop paying dividends. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected.
 
  Equity Securities Risk. This is the risk that the value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors affecting the general market, an entire industry or sector, or particular companies. These factors include, without limitation, adverse changes in economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates or investor sentiment; increases in production costs; and significant management decisions.
 
  Mid‑Sized Companies Risk. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in the securities of midsized companies. Securities of these companies are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large‑cap companies. This is because mid‑cap companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel than large‑cap companies, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management.
 
  Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks, as a group, may be out of favor with the market and underperform value stocks or the overall equity market. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their prices are based heavily on the future expectations of the economy and the stock’s issuing company.
 
  Large-Capitalization Investing Risk. The Fund may invest in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected if securities of these companies underperform securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may adapt more slowly to new competitive challenges and be subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.
 
  Market Risk. The value of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate based
   
on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, tariffs, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.
 
  Geopolitical Events Risk. The interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, trade disputes, supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, cybersecurity events, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.
 
  ETF Risks. The 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 Limitation 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 of the 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.
 
  ¡    Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in‑kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in‑kind redemption process was used.
 
  ¡    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
 
 
Fund Summary         9

iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF — (Continued)
 
    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 and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, 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. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
 
  ¡    Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, 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.
 
  Management Risk. The Fund is actively-managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund.
 
  Investment Selection Risk. The Sub‑Advisor’s portfolio managers may select investments that underperform and investors’ Fund shares may decline in value. This risk may be more significant when the Sub‑Advisor invests the Fund’s holdings in a limited number of securities, as may be the case with the Fund, because an individual holding can magnify the potential for gains and losses due to its proportional impact on the value of the Fund’s shares.
 
  Foreign Investing Risk. This is the risk that an investment in foreign (non‑U.S.) securities may cause the Fund to experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to, among other factors, less publicly available information, less stringent and less uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, less liquid and more volatile markets, higher transaction and custody costs, additional taxes, less investor protection, delayed or less frequent settlement, political or social instability, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, regional economic volatility, and the imposition of sanctions, confiscations, trade restrictions (including tariffs) and other government restrictions by the United States and/or other governments.
 
  Cybersecurity Risk. With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. Cyber incidents affecting the Fund or its service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value, impediments to trading, the inability of 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.
 
  Large Shareholder Risk. Certain shareholders may from time to time own a substantial amount of the shares of the Fund. In addition, a third party investor, the advisor or an affiliate of the advisor, an authorized participant, a market maker, or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment for a limited period of time solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem its investment, that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels or that the Fund would continue to meet applicable listing requirements. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a large percentage of the trading volume on the NYSE Arca and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.
 
  Operational Risk. Operational risks include human error, changes in personnel, system changes, faults in communication, and failures in systems, technology, or processes. Various operational events or circumstances are outside the Advisor’s or the Sub‑Advisor’s control, including instances at third parties. The Fund, the Advisor and the Sub‑Advisor 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 these risks.
 
  Regulatory Risk. Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by the Fund or its Subsidiary or that could adversely impact the Fund’s performance.
 
  Securities Lending Risk: The Fund may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. The Fund could also lose money if the value of the collateral decreases. As a result, the value of the Fund’s shares may fall.

Summary of Other Important Information Regarding the Funds
 
Purchase and Sale of Shares
 
Shares of each Fund (“Shares”) are listed and trade on the NYSE Arca (the “Exchange”). Individual Shares may only be bought and sold on the Exchange through a broker or dealer at market prices, rather than at NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than at NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than at NAV (premium) or less than at NAV (discount). Investors may also 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”).
Each Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units,” which only Authorized Participants (“APs”) (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Each Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a designated amount of U.S. cash and/or a portfolio of securities closely approximating the holdings of the Fund (the “Deposit Securities”).
Information on each Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts to NAV, and bid‑ask spreads is available on the Fund’s website www.imgp.com.
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 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.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
 
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an “Intermediary”), iM Global, the Fund’s investment 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.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies
 
Each Fund’s investment objective has been adopted as a non‑fundamental investment policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.
iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF
 
The Fund is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its objective by: (i) investing its assets pursuant to a managed futures strategy (described below); (ii) allocating up to 20% of its total assets in its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”), which is organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, is advised by the Fund’s sub‑adviser, Dynamic Beta investments (“DBi” or the “Sub‑Advisor”), and will comply with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies; and (iii) investing directly in select debt instruments for cash management and other purposes.
The Fund’s managed futures strategy employs long and short positions in derivatives, primarily futures contracts and forward contracts, across the broad asset classes of equities, fixed income, currencies and, through the Subsidiary, commodities. Fund positions in those contracts are determined based on a proprietary, quantitative model – the Dynamic Beta Engine – that seeks to identify the main drivers of performance by approximating the current asset allocation of a selected pool of the largest commodity trading hedge fund managers (the “Target”), which are managers that use futures or forward contracts to achieve their investment objectives. The Dynamic Beta Engine analyzes recent (i.e., trailing 60‑day) performance of the Target in order to identify a portfolio of liquid financial instruments that closely reflects the Target’s estimated current asset allocation with the goal of simulating the performance, but not the underlying positions, of the Target.
The Sub‑Advisor relies exclusively on the Dynamic Beta Engine and does not have discretion to override the model-determined asset allocation or portfolio weights. The Sub‑Advisor will periodically review whether instruments should be added to or removed from the model in order to improve the model’s efficiency. The model’s asset allocation is limited to asset classes that are traded on U.S.-based exchanges. Based on this analysis, the Fund invests in an optimized portfolio of long and short positions in domestically-traded, liquid derivative contracts selected from a pool of the most liquid derivative contracts, as determined by the Sub‑Advisor.
Futures contracts and forward contracts are contractual agreements to buy or sell a particular currency, commodity or financial instrument at a pre‑determined price in the future. The Fund takes long positions in derivative contracts that provide exposure to various asset classes, sectors and/or markets that the Fund expects to rise in value, and takes short positions in asset classes, sectors and/or markets that the Fund expects to fall in value. Agreeing to buy the underlying instrument is called buying a futures contract or taking a long position in the contract. Likewise, agreeing to sell the underlying instrument is called selling a futures contract or taking a short position in the contract.
The Fund may have gross notional exposure, which is defined as the sum of the notional exposure of both long and short derivative
positions across the Fund, that approximates the current asset allocation and matches the risk profile of a diversified pool of the largest CTAs. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and interpretations thereunder, impose certain limitations on the Fund’s ability to use leverage. Under normal market conditions, the Sub‑Advisor seeks to achieve Fund volatility of 8‑10% on an annual basis, which refers to the approximate maximum amount of expected gains or losses during a given year expressed as a percentage of value.
In an effort to reduce certain risks (e.g., volatility of returns), the Sub‑Advisor limits the Fund’s gross notional exposure on certain futures contracts whose returns are expected to be particularly volatile. In addition to these specific exposure limits, the Sub‑Advisor uses quantitative methods to assess the level of risk for the Fund.
The Fund intends to gain exposure to commodities through its investments in the Subsidiary and may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest primarily in commodity futures, but it may also invest in financial futures, fixed income securities, pooled investment vehicles, including those that are not registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act, and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for the Subsidiary’s derivative positions. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in commodity-linked derivative instruments; however, the Subsidiary complies with the same 1940 Act asset coverage requirements with respect to its investments in commodity-linked derivatives that are applicable to the Fund’s transactions in derivatives. In addition, to the extent applicable to the investment activities of the Subsidiary, the Subsidiary is subject to the same fundamental investment restrictions and follows the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. Unlike the Fund, the Subsidiary will not seek to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Fund is the sole investor in the Subsidiary and does not expect shares of the Subsidiary to be offered or sold to other investors.
In addition to its use of futures and investment in the Subsidiary, the Fund expects, under normal circumstances, to invest a large portion of the portfolio in debt securities in order to collateralize its derivative investments, for liquidity purposes, or to enhance yield. The Fund may hold fixed income instruments of varying maturities, but that have an average duration of less than one year. In particular, the Fund may hold government money market instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency discount notes and bonds with maturities of two years or less.
The Fund will not invest in cryptocurrency or digital assets or cryptocurrency or digital asset derivatives.

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek dividend income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment objective has been adopted as a non‑fundamental investment policy and

may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of U.S. companies that pay dividends annually, with an emphasis on stocks that have a strong track record of paying quarterly dividends or that are expected to increase their dividends over the next one to five years. The Fund seeks to generate a growing stream of equity income by investing in a select portfolio of high-quality businesses that the Fund’s sub‑advisor, Berkshire Asset Management LLC (“Berkshire” or the “Sub‑Advisor”) believes generally have a high, stable, and growing dividend. The Sub‑Advisor focuses on a company’s regular, periodic dividends in its analysis of dividend growth, but may also take into account past payments of special dividends, meaning a non‑recurring, one‑time dividend distributed to a company’s stockholders. The Fund invests primarily in large-capitalization U.S. companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or higher at the time of initial purchase.
In analyzing potential investments, the Sub‑Advisor does not simply consider the highest yielding names in the Fund’s investment universe. The Sub‑Advisor also analyzes three aspects of the company’s dividend: (1) the amount of the current dividend, (2) stability of the dividend, and (3) the growth of the dividend. In considering the amount of the current dividend, the Sub‑Advisor seeks to invest in companies that have a current dividend yield (that is, the percentage of a company’s share price that it pays out in dividends each year) that is at least as high as the S&P 500 Index average yield. The Sub‑Advisor compares a company’s dividend yield to the average yield of the S&P 500 Index in order to identify companies that can provide current return to offset market volatility. The Fund may invest in companies with a lower dividend yield, however, if the Sub‑Advisor believes that those companies have a clear path to paying higher dividends.
In considering the stability of a company’s dividend, the Sub‑Advisor evaluates the company’s balance sheet, including how the amount of the company’s leverage could potentially impact that dividend. Too much debt, when combined with certain business models, can result in dividends being cut or suspended. Equity investors are at the bottom of the capital structure, and so the Sub‑Advisor evaluates all of a company’s more senior claims as a means of estimating the ongoing stability of the dividend. The Sub‑Advisor also considers the historic volatility of a company’s operating margins and the consistency of its underlying business and end markets in order to evaluate the stability of its dividend.
The Sub‑Advisor also seeks to identify companies that have a history of dividend growth, as well as prospects for future dividend growth. In assessing the potential for future dividend growth, a key metric the Sub‑Advisor considers is the return on equity for a business in order to understand how the company generates free cash flow that could be available for future dividend payments. The Sub‑Advisor analyzes a company’s return
on equity using the Dupont formula, which focuses on three separate elements: net profit margin (how much profit the company obtains from its revenues), asset turnover (how effectively the company makes use of its assets) and equity multiplier (a measure of how much the company is leveraged). The Sub‑Advisor uses this analysis to model a company’s future income statement, balance sheet and free cash flow and determine its future dividend payout ratio to assess its dividend growth potential. The Sub‑Advisor seeks to identify companies that have above average cash flow, as compared to the companies in the Fund’s investment universe, and a trajectory of increasing cash flow over time as a means of identifying companies with the potential to grow dividends.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s portfolio is comprised of 30 to 40 high-quality companies at prices the Sub‑Advisor views as reasonably priced, where the companies are paying and growing dividends over a period of time of one to five years. In determining whether a security is reasonably priced, the Sub‑Advisor conducts a fundamental analysis of a company’s financials in order to determine its intrinsic value (as opposed to its market value) and seeks to purchase securities at or below this intrinsic value. The Sub‑Advisor seeks to provide superior risk-adjusted returns when compared to both the Russell 1000 Value Index and S&P 500 Index through its focus on identifying large cap companies with dividend growth potential, based on its proprietary analysis of a company’s fundamentals and forward-looking modeling process. The Fund also seeks to provide downside protection in times of market volatility, in that the dividend-paying securities in which the Fund invests can provide current return to offset market volatility. However, in periods of strong up markets, the portfolio is unlikely to exhibit greater upside compared to the indexes. Over the course of a full market cycle, the Fund’s investment strategy seeks to have a lower risk profile than the general market. A “market cycle” is the movement from a period of increasing prices and strong performance, or bull market, through a period of weak performance and falling prices, or bear market, and back again to new strength. The term of a full market cycle can vary from three to five years or as long as five to ten years.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in foreign equity securities, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). Depositary Receipts are receipts typically issued in connection with a U.S. or foreign bank or trust company that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation.
The Fund will not invest in cryptocurrency or digital assets or cryptocurrency or digital asset derivatives.
The Sub‑Advisor has discretion to actively manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective. Securities may be sold if they underperform or to implement a revised allocation based on a modified view of market conditions. The Fund may also sell a security when the Sub‑Advisor believes that the security is overvalued or better investment opportunities are available, to invest in cash and cash equivalents, or to meet redemptions.

Evaluation and Selection of Sub‑Advisors by the Advisor
 
iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (“iM Global” or the “Advisor”), as the Funds’ investment adviser, is responsible for hiring and removing sub‑advisors. iM Global and its parent company, iM Global Partner, perform extensive due diligence to identify what they consider to be the most talented firms and form long-lasting partnerships to bring high-quality investment solutions and strategic research insights to investors in the Funds. In evaluating potential partners to serve as sub‑advisors of the Funds, the Advisor and iM Global Partner seek complementary, entrepreneurial firms that have exceptional investment teams with proven capabilities in withstanding adverse market conditions, and that have built consistent and well-articulated investment processes and manage scalable strategies with strong and repeatable track records.
iM Global’s investment philosophy and rigorous due‑diligence process are based on more than 20 years of experience analyzing hundreds of investment teams. iM Global assesses each potential
sub‑advisor across seven key pillars spanning corporate structure and governance, investment philosophy and process, performance consistency, business strategy and growth potential, operational and regulatory robustness, financial strength and alignment, and approach to environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations. iM Global is responsible for the general overall supervision of the sub‑advisors. Once selected, sub‑advisors are subject to continuous monitoring, including regular reviews and transparent reporting.
In the event a sub‑advisor ceases to manage a Fund’s portfolio, iM Global will select a replacement sub‑advisor. The securities that were held in the departing sub‑advisor’s portfolio may be retained by the replacement sub‑advisor of the Fund or will be liquidated in an orderly manner, taking into account various factors, which may include but are not limited to the market for the security and the potential tax consequences.

Description of Principal Investment Risks
 
All ETFs carry a certain amount of risk. The returns of each Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) will vary, and you could lose money on your investment in the Funds. An investment in a Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by any financial institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. The principal risks for each Fund are identified in the Funds’ Summary Sections and are described in further detail below. Additional information about the principal risks is included in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”).
Investors should be aware that in light of the current uncertainty, volatility and distress in economies and financial markets around the world, the risks described below are heightened significantly compared to normal conditions and therefore subject a Fund’s investments and a shareholder’s investment in a Fund to sudden and substantial losses.
The following table summarizes the principal risks of investing in each Fund. Your investment may be subject (in varying degrees) to these risks as well as other risks. Each Fund may be more susceptible to some of these risks than others. Risks not marked for a particular Fund may, however, still apply to some extent to that Fund at various times.

Commodities Risk   Exposure to the commodities markets (including financial futures markets) may subject the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, through its investment in the Subsidiary to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. Prices of commodities and related contracts may fluctuate significantly over short periods for a variety of reasons, including changes in interest rates, supply and demand relationships and balances of payments and trade; weather and natural disasters; governmental, agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies, public health crises and trade or price wars among commodity producers or buyers. The commodity markets are subject to temporary distortions and other disruptions. U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices which may occur during a single business day. Limit prices have the effect of precluding trading in a particular contract or forcing the liquidation of contracts at disadvantageous times or prices.
Credit Risk   Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the security or a counterparty in respect of a derivative instrument will not be able to satisfy its payment obligations to a Fund when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of a Fund’s investment in that issuer. Securities rated in the four highest categories by the rating agencies are considered investment grade but they may also have some speculative characteristics. Investment grade ratings do not guarantee that bonds will not lose value or default. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes.
Currency Risk   A Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency that the Fund is short. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for any number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad.
Cybersecurity Risk   As the use of technology, including cloud-based technology, and the frequency of cyber attacks in the market have become more prevalent, the Funds have become potentially more susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from breaches in cyber security that may lead to financial losses. Information and technology systems relied upon by the Funds, iM Global, the sub‑advisors, the Funds’ service providers (including, but not limited to, Fund accountants, custodians, transfer agents, administrators, distributors and other financial intermediaries) and/or the issuers of securities in which a Fund invests may be vulnerable to damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons, security breaches, usage errors, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. Geopolitical tensions have increased the scale and sophistication of deliberate cybersecurity attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Although iM Global has implemented measures to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, significant investment may be required to fix or replace them. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster recovery plans could cause significant interruptions in the operations of the Funds, iM Global, the sub‑advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests and may result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of sensitive data, including personal information relating to investors (and the beneficial owners of investors). Such a failure could also harm the reputation of the Funds, iM Global, the sub‑advisors, the Funds’ service providers and/or issuers of securities in which a Fund invests, subject such entities and their respective affiliates to legal claims or otherwise affect their business and financial performance.

Debt Securities and Fixed-Income Risk   Fixed income securities, such as U.S. Treasuries, or derivatives based on fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk, as described more fully above, refers to the possibility that the issuer of a debt security will be unable to make interest payments or repay principal when it becomes due. Interest rate risk, as described more fully below, refers to fluctuations in the value of a debt security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. Prices of fixed income securities tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect fixed income security prices and, accordingly, a Fund’s returns and share price. In addition, a Fund may be subject to “call” risk, which is the risk that during a period of falling interest rates the issuer may redeem a security by repaying it early (which may reduce the Fund’s income if the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates), and “extension” risk, which occurs during a rising interest rate environment because certain obligations will be paid off by an issuer more slowly than anticipated (causing the value of those securities held by the Fund to fall).
Derivatives Risk   The Funds may invest in derivatives. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on, and are valued in relation to, one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks or indices, such as futures swap agreements and forward contracts. Derivatives typically have economic leverage inherent in their terms. The primary types of derivatives in which the Funds invest are futures contracts and forward contracts. Futures contracts and forward contracts can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and changes in the value of such instruments held directly or indirectly by a Fund may not correlate with the underlying instrument or reference assets, or the Fund’s other investments. Although the value of futures contracts and forward contracts depends largely upon price movements in the underlying instrument or reference asset, there are additional risks associated with futures contracts and forward contracts that are possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying instruments or reference assets, including illiquidity risk, leveraging risk and counterparty credit risk. A small position in futures contracts or forward contracts could have a potentially large impact on a Fund’s performance. Trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and forward contracts.
Dividend Paying Securities Risk   The iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF invests in dividend-paying securities. Securities that pay dividends, as a group, may be out of favor with the market and underperform the overall equity market or stocks of companies that do not pay dividends. In addition, changes in the dividend policies of the companies held by the Fund (which may be due to forces outside of a company’s control, such as political, social or other pressures) or the capital resources available for such company’s dividend payments may adversely affect the Fund. In the event a company reduces or eliminates its dividend, the Fund may not only lose the dividend payout but the stock price of the company may also fall. Dividend paying equities may also underperform or outperform based on the overall level of interest rates, as well as changes in the tax treatment of dividends.
Equity Securities Risk   The value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unexpectedly, due to various factors, including factors affecting the general market, such as adverse changes in economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates or investor sentiment. Equity securities may also lose value because of factors affecting an entire industry or sector, such as increases in production costs, and factors directly related to a specific company, such as significant decisions made by its management. Certain equity securities may decline in value even during periods when the prices of equity securities in general are rising, or may not perform as well as the market in general. The prices of equity securities may also experience greater volatility during periods of challenging market conditions such as the one that the market experienced in April 2025. This risk is greater for small- and medium‑sized companies, which tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments than larger companies. See also “Additional Investment Risks – Additional Risks Related to U.S. Equity Securities” below.

ETF Risks  
Each 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 Limitation Risk. Each 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 of a 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.
 
Cash Redemption Risk. A Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. A Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in‑kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gain distributions than if the in‑kind redemption process was used.
 
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 and volatility in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, 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. If an investor purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
 
Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, 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 a Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares.

Foreign Investing Risk  
Investing in foreign (non‑U.S) securities may expose a Fund to risks not typically associated with U.S. investments. These risks include, among others, adverse fluctuations in currency conversion rate, currency blockages, and adverse political, social and economic developments affecting a foreign country. Recently, the wars between Russia and Ukraine and among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, as well as recent military action by the U.S. in Iran, have increased tensions in the Middle East and has caused and could continue to cause market disruptions in the region and globally. In addition, foreign securities may have less publicly available information and may be more volatile and/or less liquid. Investments in foreign securities could also be affected by factors such as differences in financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, smaller and less-strict regulation of securities markets, restrictions on receiving investment proceeds from a foreign country, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations. Economies in foreign countries may also be more susceptible to natural and man‑made disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, or adverse changes in climate or weather. In addition, many foreign countries with less established health care systems have experienced outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases from time to time, including, but not limited to, COVID‑19, Ebola, Zika, avian flu, severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. The risks of such phenomena and resulting social, political, economic and environmental damage cannot be quantified. These events can exacerbate market volatility as well as impair economic activity, which can have both short- and immediate-term effects on the valuations of the companies and issuers in which a Fund invests.
 
The recent implementation of trade tariffs by the U.S. has intensified concerns about a potential trade war between the U.S. and certain foreign countries, including China, Mexico and Canada, among others. These consequences may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, shortages or oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price increases or decreases of goods, inflationary pressures, and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of the foreign export industry with a potentially negative impact to the Funds.
Forward Contracts Risk   Forward contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract as agreed by the parties in an amount and at a price set at the time of the contract. At the maturity of a forward contract, a fund may either accept or make delivery of the currency specified in the contract or, at or prior to maturity, enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. The Funds may invest in non‑deliverable forwards, which are cash-settled, short-term forward contracts on foreign currencies that are non‑convertible and that may be thinly traded or illiquid. The use of forward contracts involves various risks, including the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency and the risk that the counterparty will fail to fulfill its obligations.
Futures Contracts Risk  
Futures contracts have a high degree of price variability and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial changes. There is an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying instrument or reference assets with respect to such contracts. Futures contracts pose the risk of a possible lack of a liquid secondary market, resulting in the potential inability to close a futures contract when desired. Futures contracts are also subject to risks related to possible market disruptions or other extraordinary events, including but not limited to, governmental intervention, and potentially unlimited losses caused by unanticipated market movements. Futures contracts are subject to the possibility that the counterparties to the contracts will default in the performance of their obligations. If a Fund has insufficient cash, it may either have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements with respect to its futures contracts, or close certain positions at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so. The successful use of futures contracts draws upon a Sub‑Advisor’s skill and experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk considerations.
 
The use of futures contracts, which are derivative instruments, will have the economic effect of financial leverage. Financial leverage magnifies exposure to the swings in prices of an asset class underlying an investment and results in increased volatility, which means a Fund will have the potential for greater losses than if the Fund did not employ leverage in its investment activity. Leveraging tends to magnify, sometimes significantly, the effect of any increase or decrease in a Fund’s exposure to an asset class and may cause the value of a Fund’s securities or related derivatives instruments to be volatile. There is no assurance that a Fund’s investment in a futures contract with leveraged exposure to certain investments and markets will enable the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

Geopolitical Events 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 a Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, trade disputes, supply chain disruptions, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, cybersecurity events, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, territorial invasions and global economic sanctions implemented in response, 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. For example, military conflicts and wars, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the war among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, as well as recent military action by the U.S. in Iran, have increased tensions in Europe and the Middle East and have caused and could continue to cause market disruptions in the regions and globally. 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 a Fund’s portfolio. The recent implementation of trade tariffs by the U.S. has intensified concerns about a potential trade war between the U.S. and certain foreign countries, including China, Mexico and Canada, among others. These consequences may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, shortages or oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price increases or decreases of goods, inflationary pressures, and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of the foreign export industry with a potentially negative impact to the Funds. In addition, the novel coronavirus (COVID‑19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, had severe negative impacts on markets worldwide, and any pandemics that could occur in the future could have similar impacts and result in a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your investment in the Funds.
 
Therefore, the Funds 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.
Government Securities and Agency Risk   Direct obligations of the U.S. Government such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds are supported by its full faith and credit. Indirect obligations issued by Federal agencies and government-sponsored entities generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Accordingly, while U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities may be chartered or sponsored by Acts of Congress, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Some of these indirect obligations may be supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; others are supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations; still others are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. From time to time, a high national debt level, and uncertainty regarding negotiations to increase the U.S. government’s debt ceiling and periodic legislation to fund the government, could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on its obligations and/or lead to a downgrade of the credit rating of the U.S. government. Such an event could adversely affect the value of investments in securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, cause a Fund to suffer losses and lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and global markets. In addition, raising the ceiling on U.S. government debt has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. Government obligations, with unpredictable consequences for economies and markets in the United States and elsewhere.
 
 
Description of Principal Investment Risks         21

Description of Principal Investment Risks — (Continued)
 
Growth Investing Risk   Growth stocks, as a group, may be out of favor with the market and underperform value stocks or the overall equity market. Growth stocks generally are priced higher than non‑growth stocks, in relation to the issuer’s earnings and other measures, because investors believe they have greater growth potential, but there is no guarantee that their growth potential will be realized. Growth stocks are generally more sensitive to market movements than other types of stocks primarily because their prices are based heavily on future expectations. If investors believe an issuing company’s future earnings expectations will not be met, growth stock prices can decline rapidly and significantly. An investment in growth stocks may also be susceptible to rapid price swings during periods of economic uncertainty.
Inflation Risk   At any time, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time.
Interest Rate Risk   Prices of fixed income securities generally increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates increase. The Funds may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by a Sub‑Advisor. The Funds may be subject to heightened interest rate risk due to rising rates as the current period of historically low interest rates may be ending. Interest rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, but increasing interest rates may have an adverse effect on the value of a Fund’s investment portfolio as a whole, as investors and markets adjust expected returns relative to such increasing rates. The negative impact on fixed income securities from the resulting rate increases for that and other reasons could be swift and significant. Potential future changes in government and/or central bank monetary policy and action may also affect the level of interest rates. There have been inflationary price movements, which have caused the fixed income securities markets to experience heightened levels of interest volatility and liquidity risk. Monetary policy measures have in the past, and may in the future, exacerbate risks associated with rising interest rates. A wide variety of factors can cause interest rates to rise (e.g., central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, or general economic conditions).
Investment Selection Risk   A Sub-Advisor’s portfolio managers may select investments that underperform, and investors’ Fund shares may decline in value. This risk may be more significant when the Sub‑Advisor invests a Fund’s holdings in a limited number of securities, as may be the case with the Funds, because an individual holding can magnify the potential for gains and losses due to its proportional impact on the value of a Fund’s shares. The specific investments held in a Fund’s investment portfolio may underperform other funds in the same asset class or benchmarks that are representative of the general performance of the asset class because of a portfolio manager’s choice of securities.
Large Capitalization Investing Risk   The securities of large-capitalization companies may underperform securities of smaller 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. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.
Large Shareholder Risk   Certain shareholders may from time to time own a substantial amount of the shares of the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF. In addition, a third party investor, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, an authorized participant, a market maker, or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment for a limited period of time solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem its investment, that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels or that the Fund would continue to meet applicable listing requirements. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a large percentage of the trading volume on the NYSE Arca and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares.

Leverage Risk   Leverage is implicit in the iMGP DBi Managed Futures ETF’s use of long and short positions in the derivatives instruments it trades. The implicit leverage may result in the Fund holding positions whose face or notional value may be greater than the Fund’s NAV. As a result of this leveraging, even a small movement in the price of an instrument can cause a correspondingly large profit or loss. Losses incurred on leveraged investments increase in direct proportion to the degree of leverage employed. Furthermore, derivative instruments and futures contracts are highly volatile and are subject to occasional rapid and substantial fluctuations. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the variation of returns of a security or fund or index over time. Higher volatility generally indicates higher risk. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund should the Fund’s trading positions suddenly turn unprofitable.
Liquidity Risk   The Funds are subject to liquidity risk primarily due to their investments in derivatives. Investments in derivative instruments involve the risk that a Fund may be unable to sell the derivative instrument or sell it at a reasonable price.
Managed Futures Risk   In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF will utilize various investment strategies that involve the use of complex investment techniques, and there is no guarantee that these strategies will succeed. The use of such strategies and techniques may subject the Fund to greater volatility and loss. There can be no assurance that utilizing a certain approach or model will achieve a particular level of return or reduce volatility and loss.
Management Risk  
The Funds are actively managed and may not meet their investment objectives based on the portfolio managers’ success or failure to implement the Funds’ investment strategies.
 
A Sub‑Advisor’s objective judgments about the attractiveness and potential appreciation or dividend growth of particular investments may prove incorrect, and there is no guarantee that the Sub‑Advisor’s investment strategies will produce the desired results.
Market Risk   The market prices of securities owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Securities may decline in value or become illiquid due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets. The value or liquidity of a security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. For instance, in recent years failures in the banking sector, tariffs and inflationary pressures have caused significant disruption and volatility in U.S. and global markets. In addition, military conflicts and wars, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the war among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, as well as recent military action by the U.S. in Iran, have increased tensions in Europe and the Middle East and have caused and could continue to cause market disruptions in those regions and globally. Securities may also decline or become illiquid due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline or become illiquid in value simultaneously. Natural disasters, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics), terrorism and other global unforeseeable events may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to increased volatility, and may have adverse long-term effects. The Funds cannot predict the effects of such unforeseeable events in the future on the economy, the markets or the Funds’ investments.
Mid‑Sized Companies Risk   Securities of companies with mid‑sized market capitalizations are generally more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large-capitalization companies. Mid‑sized companies may be more reliant on a few products, services or key personnel, which can make it riskier than investing in larger companies with more diverse product lines and structured management. Mid‑sized companies may have relatively short operating histories or may be newer public companies. Some of these companies have more aggressive capital structures, including higher debt levels, than large‑cap companies, or are involved in rapidly growing or changing industries and/or new technologies, which pose additional risks.
Models and Data Risk   This is the risk that one or all of the proprietary systematic and quantitative models may fail to identify profitable opportunities at any time. Furthermore, the models may incorrectly identify opportunities and these misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses for a Fund. Models may be predictive in nature and such models may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. Data used in the construction of models may prove to be inaccurate or stale, which may result in losses for a Fund.
 
 
Description of Principal Investment Risks         23

Description of Principal Investment Risks — (Continued)
 
Operational Risk   Operational risks include human error, changes in personnel, system changes, faults in communication, and failures in systems, technology, or processes. Various operational events or circumstances are outside the Advisor’s or Sub‑Advisors’ control, including instances at third parties. The Funds, the Advisor and the Sub‑Advisors 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 these risks.
Regulatory Risk   Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by a Fund that could adversely impact a Fund’s performance. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments. Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation, and may in some instances contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.
Securities Lending Risk   The Funds may engage in securities lending. Securities lending involves possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. A Fund could also lose money if the value of the collateral decreases. As a result, the value of a Fund’s shares may fall. The value of a Fund’s shares could also fall if a loan is called and the Fund is required to liquidate reinvested collateral at a loss or if the Fund is unable to reinvest cash collateral at rates which exceed the costs involved.
Short Position Risk   A Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrument increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position. Short positions may be considered speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security or instrument. A Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short position transaction.
Subsidiary Risk   By investing in the Subsidiary, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to continue to operate as it does currently and could adversely affect the Fund.
Tax Risk  
The federal income tax treatment of the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF’s income from the Subsidiary may be negatively affected by future legislation, Treasury Regulations (proposed or final), and/or other Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidance or authorities that could affect the character, timing of recognition, and/or amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income and/or net capital gains and, therefore, the distributions it makes. If the Fund failed the source of income test for any taxable year but was eligible to and did cure the failure, it could incur potentially significant additional federal income tax expenses. If, on the other hand, the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and was ineligible to or otherwise did not cure the failure, it would be subject to federal income tax at the fund-level on its taxable income at the regular corporate tax rate (without reduction for distributions to shareholders), with the consequence that its income available for distribution to shareholders would be reduced and distributions from its current or accumulated earnings and profits would generally be taxable to its shareholders as dividend income.
 
Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result in the inability of the Fund and/or the Subsidiary to operate as described in this Prospectus and the SAI and could adversely affect the Fund. For example, the Cayman Islands does not currently impose any income, corporate or capital gains tax or withholding tax on the Subsidiary. If Cayman Islands law changes such that the Subsidiary must pay Cayman Islands taxes, Fund shareholders would likely suffer decreased investment returns.

Description of Additional Investment Risks
 
The following are additional or non‑principal risks that also apply to investments in the Funds.
 
Risks Associated with U.S. Presidential Elections   The impact of past and future U.S. presidential and other elections could create significant uncertainty with respect to legal, tax and regulatory regimes in which the Funds, as well as iM Global, will operate. Changes in U.S. policy resulting from a new administration could result in a number of changes to U.S. and non‑U.S. economic, national security, fiscal, tax and other policies, as well as the global financial markets generally. Any significant changes in, among other things, economic policy (including with respect to interest rates, foreign trade and regulatory changes leading to greater availability of bank debt), the regulation of the asset management industry, tax law, immigration policy and/or government entitlement programs could have a material adverse impact on a Fund and its investments.
Additional Risks Related to U.S. Equity Securities   Although U.S. stocks have enjoyed many years of favorable returns, they have more recently experienced volatility based on political and economic events such as trade disputes and military action. In addition, interest rate increases in the U.S. may adversely affect stocks. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates several times, and it is uncertain whether and when additional rate cuts or rate increases will occur. Changing interest rate environments (whether downward or upward) impact various sectors of the economy and asset classes in different ways. For example, low interest rate environments tend to be positive for the equity markets, whereas high interest rate environments tend to apply downward pressure on earnings and equity prices. In addition, raising the ceiling on U.S. government debt has become increasingly politicized. Any failure to increase the total amount that the U.S. government is authorized to borrow could lead to a default on U.S. government obligations, with unpredictable consequences for economies and markets in the United States and elsewhere.
U.S. Trade Policy Risk  
The U.S. presidential administration has recently enacted significant new tariffs, and proposed to enact additional tariffs, on imports from certain countries. Additionally, there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs. There continues to exist significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and other countries with respect to such trade policies, treaties and tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict a portfolio company’s access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operations, which in turn could negatively impact a Fund. Some foreign governments have in the past instituted retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. goods and have indicated a willingness to impose additional tariffs on U.S. products in the future. In recent years, the U.S. and China have each been implementing increased tariffs on imports from each other, and the U.S. has also adopted certain targeted measures such as export controls or sanctions implicating Chinese companies and officials. There remains uncertainty as to whether the trade negotiations between the U.S. and China will be successful and how the trade dispute between the U.S. and China will progress. If the trade dispute between the U.S. and China continues or escalates, or if additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S., China or other countries in connection with a global trade dispute or “trade war,” there could be material adverse effects on the global economy, and the Funds and their investments could be materially and adversely affected.
 
In addition, other countries have implemented or threatened retaliatory tariffs on certain U.S. products. Global trade disruption, significant introductions of trade barriers and bilateral trade frictions, together with any future downturns in the global economy resulting therefrom, could adversely affect the financial performance of a Fund and its investments. While certain countries may agree to trade deals to address disputes, continued trade disputes between countries may remain unresolved which would result in an ongoing source of instability, potentially resulting in significant currency fluctuations, and/or have other adverse effects on international markets, international trade agreements and/or other existing cross-border cooperation arrangements (whether economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory or otherwise), which could present similar and/or additional potential risks and consequences for a Fund and its investments.

Fund Management and Investment Styles
 
The Advisor, Multi-Manager Issues & Fees
The Advisor
 
The Funds are managed by iM Global Partner Fund Management, LLC (“iM Global”), 2301 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 2150, El Segundo, California 90245. iM Global is wholly-owned by iM Global Partner SAS (France), which is beneficially owned by iM Square SAS, a Paris-based asset management business. iM Global has overall responsibility for assets under management, recommends the selection of managers as sub‑advisors of the Funds (each, a “manager” or “sub‑advisor”) to the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Litman Gregory Funds Trust (the “Trust”), evaluates the performance of the managers, monitors changes at the managers’ organizations that may impact their abilities to deliver superior future performance, determines when to rebalance the managers’ assets (for those series of the Trust that have multiple managers) and the amount of cash equivalents (if any) that may be held in addition to cash in each of the managers’ portfolios or sub‑portfolios, as applicable coordinates with the managers with respect to diversification and tax issues and oversees the operational aspects of the Funds.
Temporary Defensive Positions and Related Risks. To respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in a temporary defensive manner by holding all or a substantial portion of its assets in cash, cash equivalents, or other high quality short-term investments. Temporary defensive investments generally may include short-term U.S. government securities, commercial paper, bank obligations, repurchase agreements, money market fund shares, and other money market instruments. The Sub‑Advisors also may invest in these types of securities or hold cash while looking for suitable investment opportunities or to maintain liquidity. In these circumstances, the Funds may be unable to achieve their investment objectives.
Multi-Manager Exemptive Order: The Trust and iM Global have obtained an exemptive order from the SEC (the “Order”) that permits iM Global, subject to certain conditions, to hire, terminate and replace sub‑advisors with the approval of the Board only and without shareholder approval. iM Global has ultimate responsibility for the performance of the Funds due to its responsibility to oversee the Funds’ sub‑advisors and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. Within 60 days of the hiring of any new sub‑advisors or the implementation of any proposed material change in a sub‑advisory agreement with an existing sub‑advisor, shareholders will be furnished information about the new sub‑advisor or sub‑advisory agreement that would be included in a proxy statement. Each Fund is currently managed by a single sub‑advisor. When there are multiple sub‑advisors to a Fund, the Order also permits the Fund to disclose sub‑advisory fees only in the aggregate in its registration statement. Pursuant to the order, shareholder approval is required before iM Global enters into any sub‑advisory agreement with a sub‑advisor that is affiliated with the Funds or iM Global.
Portfolio Holdings Information
 
A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures regarding disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings can be found in the SAI, which can be obtained free of charge by contacting the Funds’ transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) at 1‑800‑960‑0188.
Advisory Fees
 
For the services it provides to the Funds, each Fund pays the Advisor a unified management fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.85% for the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF and 0.55% for the iMGP Berkshire Dividend Growth ETF, of the applicable Fund’s average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each Fund paid its investment adviser the full amount of the advisory fee.
iM Global, not the Funds, is responsible for payment of the sub‑advisory fees to the Sub‑Advisors, which are compensated monthly on the basis of the applicable Fund’s net assets. The Advisor also is responsible for each Fund’s ordinary operating expenses other than taxes, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, and extraordinary expenses.
A discussion regarding the Board’s basis for approving the Funds’ investment advisory agreements with iM Global and each Sub‑Advisor will be included in the Form N‑CSR for the period ended June 30, 2026.

Founded in 2012, DBi is an SEC‑registered investment advisory firm with over $4 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, and is engaged in the business of offering investment trading advice to registered investment companies, private funds and other separately managed accounts. iM Square Holding 4, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor, owns a minority interest in the Sub‑Advisor. The Sub‑Advisor is also registered with the CFTC as a CPO and CTA.
Management of the Subsidiary (iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF only). DBi also serves as the investment adviser to the Subsidiary, a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company, pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Agreement”). The Sub‑Advisor does not receive additional compensation for its services to the Subsidiary. The investment advisory agreement between the Sub‑Advisor and the Subsidiary was approved by the Board. However, because the Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, it is not subject to the regulatory protections of the 1940 Act and the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF, as an investor in the Subsidiary, will not have all of the protections offered to investors in registered investment companies. Because the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary, and the Sub‑Advisor is subject to the oversight of the Board, it is unlikely that the Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF or its shareholders. Additionally, as part of the Board’s consideration of the sub‑advisory agreement between the Advisor and the Sub‑Advisor, the Board also considers the Sub‑Advisor’s performance with regard to the Subsidiary.
The Subsidiary Agreement continues indefinitely, subject to annual renewal by the Board. However, the Subsidiary may terminate the Subsidiary Agreement if iM Global terminates its sub‑advisory agreement with the Sub‑Advisor, or if the SEC takes any action that would prohibit the Sub‑Advisor from providing its sub‑advisory services to the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF. In addition, the Subsidiary or the Sub‑Advisor may terminate the Subsidiary Agreement by giving at least 90 days’ written notice to the other party.
In addition, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF complies with applicable requirements of the 1940 Act relating to investment policies, capital structure, and leverage on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary, and the Subsidiary will comply with applicable requirements of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody of assets.

* The net returns for the composite are shown net of all actual fees and expenses, including sales loads. The fees and expenses of accounts included in the composite are lower than the anticipated
operating expenses of the Fund and, accordingly, the Fund would have lower performance results than those shown for the composite. Berkshire is an SEC‑registered investment advisory firm founded in 1986. Berkshire has prepared and presented the foregoing reports in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®), which differs from the SEC method of calculating performance. The GIPS are a set of standardized, industry wide principles that provide investment firms with guidance on how to calculate and report their investment results. The GIPS total return is calculated by using a methodology that incorporates the time-weighted rate of return concept for all assets, which removes the effects of cash flows. The SEC standardized total return is calculated using a standard formula that uses the average annual total return assuming reinvestment of dividends and distributions and deduction of sales loads or charges.
The net of fees composite returns are net of management fees, trading commissions, transaction costs and any applicable sales loads and reflect the reinvestment of all income. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable management fee schedule and portfolio size. The Standard Institutional Investment Fee Schedules are as follows:

Shareholder Services
 
How to Buy and Sell Shares
 
The Funds issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in Creation Units. Only Authorized Participants (“APs”) may acquire Shares directly from the Funds, and only APs may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Funds, at NAV. APs must be a member or participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC and 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.
Most investors buy and sell individual Shares in secondary market transactions through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded securities.
When buying or selling 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 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 Shares on the Exchange may differ from a 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 not involved in or 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 and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash, 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 a Fund’s current portfolio at a particular point in time and does not include a reduction for the fees, operating expenses, or transaction costs incurred by such Fund. The IIV should not be viewed as a “real-time” update of each 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
Each Fund imposes no restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions of Shares. In determining not to adopt a policy restricting frequent trading in the Funds, the Board evaluated the risks of market timing activities by each Fund’s 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, frequent purchases and redemptions for cash may increase tracking error and portfolio transaction costs and may lead to the realization of capital gains. To minimize these potential consequences of frequent purchases and redemptions, the Funds employ fair value pricing and may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by each Fund in effecting trades. In addition, the Funds and iM Global reserve the right to reject any purchase order at any time.
Determination of NAV
Each Fund’s NAV is calculated as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, each day the NYSE is open for business. The NAV is calculated by dividing each Fund’s net assets by its Shares outstanding.
In calculating its NAV, each 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 a Fund or is determined to be unreliable, the security will be valued at fair value estimates under guidelines established by the Board (as described below).
Applicable federal tax requirements generally limit the degree to which the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF may invest in the Subsidiary to an amount not exceeding 25% of its total assets. The Subsidiary prices its portfolio investments pursuant to the same pricing and valuation methodologies and procedures employed by the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF. The Subsidiary offers to redeem all or a portion of its shares at the current NAV per share every day the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF is open for business. The value of shares of the Subsidiary will fluctuate with the value of the Subsidiary’s portfolio investments.

Fair Value Pricing
The Board has approved procedures and methodologies by which the Advisor, as the Funds’ “valuation designee” for purposes of Rule 2a‑5 under the 1940 Act, fair values each Fund’s securities whose market prices are not “readily available” or are deemed to be unreliable. For example, such circumstances may arise when: (i) a security has been de‑listed or has had its trading halted or suspended; (ii) a security’s primary pricing source is unable or unwilling to provide a price; (iii) a security’s primary trading market is closed during regular market hours; or (iv) a security’s value is materially affected by events occurring after the close of the security’s primary trading market. Generally, when fair valuing a security, the Advisor will take into account all reasonably available information that may be relevant to a particular valuation including, but not limited to, fundamental analytical data regarding the issuer, information relating to the issuer’s business, recent trades or offers of the security, general and/or specific market conditions and the specific facts giving rise to the need to fair value the security. Fair value determinations are made in good faith and in accordance with the fair value methodologies included in the Board-approved valuation procedures. Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, there can be no assurance that the Advisor will be able to obtain the fair value assigned to the security upon the sale of such security.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents – Householding
Householding is an option available to certain investors of the Funds. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Householding for the Funds is available through certain broker-dealers. If you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, please contact your broker-dealer. If you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status, please contact your broker-dealer.
Dividends, Distributions, and Taxes
 
Dividends and Distributions
Each Fund intends to pay out dividends and interest income, if any, quarterly and distribute net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at least annually. Each Fund will declare and pay income and capital gain distributions in cash. Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole Shares only if the broker through whom you purchased Shares makes such option available. Your broker is responsible for distributing the income and capital gain distributions to you.
Taxes
The following discussion is a summary of some important U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investments in the Funds. Your investment in a Fund may have other tax implications. Please consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of an investment in Shares, including the possible application of foreign, state, and local tax laws.
Each Fund intends to qualify each year for treatment as a RIC under the Code. As long as each Fund qualifies for treatment as a RIC and meets certain minimum distribution requirements, then it generally is not subject to federal income tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, a Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in fund-level taxation as a regular corporation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
Unless your investment in Shares is made through a tax‑exempt entity or tax‑advantaged account, such as an IRA or 401(k) plan, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when a Fund makes distributions, when you sell your Shares listed on the Exchange, and when you purchase or redeem Creation Units (institutional investors only).
Taxes on Distributions. Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long a Fund owned the investments that generated such capital gains, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her Shares. 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 federal tax at reduced rates of up to 20% (lower rates apply to individuals in lower tax brackets). 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.
Distributions reported by a Fund as “qualified dividend income” are generally taxed to non‑corporate shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gains under federal law, provided holding period and other requirements are met. “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 received 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.
Shortly after the close of each calendar year, you will be informed of the character of any distributions received from a Fund.
In addition to the federal income tax, certain individuals, trusts and estates may be subject to a net investment income (“NII”) tax of 3.8%. The NII tax is imposed on the lesser of: (i) the taxpayer’s investment income, net of deductions properly allocable to such income; or (ii) the amount by which the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($250,000 for married individuals filing jointly, $200,000 for unmarried individuals and $125,000 for married individuals filing separately). Each Fund’s distributions are includable in a shareholder’s
 
 
30       Litman Gregory Funds Trust

investment income for purposes of this NII tax. In addition, any capital gain realized by a shareholder upon a sale or redemption of Shares is includable in such shareholder’s investment income for purposes of this NII tax.
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).
You may wish to avoid investing in a Fund shortly before a dividend or other distribution, because such a distribution will generally be taxable even though it may economically represent a return of a portion of your investment.
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) 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. A 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.
The Funds (or a financial intermediary, such as a broker, through which a shareholder owns Shares) generally are 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 withholding.
Taxes When Shares are Sold on the Exchange. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares generally is treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if Shares have been held for more than one year and as a short-term capital gain or loss if Shares have been held for one year 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 with respect to such Shares. Your ability to deduct capital losses may be limited.
Taxes on Purchases and Redemptions of Creation Units. An AP having the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes 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 value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the exchanging AP’s aggregate basis in the securities delivered plus the amount of any cash paid for the Creation Units. An AP who exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanging AP’s basis in the Creation Units and the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of the securities received, plus any cash received for such Creation Units. The IRS may assert, however, that a loss that is realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units may not be currently deducted under
the rules governing “wash sales” (for an AP who does not mark‑to‑market their holdings), or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Persons exchanging securities should consult their own tax advisor with respect to whether wash sale rules apply and when a loss might be deductible.
Any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if Shares comprising the Creation Units have been held for more than one year and as a short-term capital gain or loss if such Shares have been held for one year or less.
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. 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.

The investment of up to 25% of a fund’s assets in a controlled foreign corporation (a “CFC”), such as the Subsidiary, is a structure that has been used by a number of RICs as a way of indirectly making commodities-related investments that would not generate qualifying income if they were made directly by a RIC (as a further precaution, the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF intends to invest only up to 20% of its assets in the Subsidiary). Code Section 851(b) generally provides that income earned by a CFC, such as the Subsidiary, will be treated as qualifying income for a RIC provided that the CFC actually distributes those earnings out to the RIC each year. During the time period from 2006 through 2011, the IRS issued a number of private letter rulings to other funds (which the iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF cannot legally rely upon or cite as precedent) in which the IRS ruled that income derived from a fund’s investment in a CFC such as the Subsidiary would generally constitute qualifying income for the fund, even if the CFC engaged in transactions that would not generate qualifying income if they were engaged in by the fund itself and even if the earnings of the CFC were not distributed to the fund each year. In 2011, however, the IRS suspended the issuance of such private letter rulings pending further review of the subject. In September 2016, the IRS issued Proposed Treasury Regulations which would treat income derived by the Fund from the Subsidiary as qualifying income only to the extent that such income is currently distributed to the Fund. However, in 2019, the IRS issued final Treasury Regulations which treat income derived by the Fund from the Subsidiary as qualifying income regardless of whether such amounts are distributed.
Taxation of the Subsidiary (iMGP DBi Managed Futures Strategy ETF only). There is, at present, no direct taxation in the Cayman Islands and interest, dividends and gains payable to the Subsidiary will be received free of all Cayman Islands taxes. The Subsidiary is registered as an “exempted company” pursuant to the Companies Law (as amended). The Subsidiary has received an

undertaking from the Governor in Cabinet of the Cayman Islands to the effect that, for a period of twenty years from the date of the undertaking, no law that thereafter is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax or duty to be levied on profits, income or on gains or appreciation, or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, will apply to any property comprised in or any income arising under the Subsidiary, or to the shareholders thereof, in respect of any such property or income.
Taxation of Foreign Shareholders. If you are a nonresident alien individual or a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, please see the Funds’ SAI for information on how you will be taxed as a result of holding Shares.
The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current U.S. federal tax law of an investment in the Funds. 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. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in Shares under all applicable tax laws. For more information, please see the section entitled “Taxation” in the SAI.
Distribution
 
ALPS Distributors, Inc. is a broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Distributor distributes Creation Units for each Fund 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 1290 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203.
The Board has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Rule 12b‑1 Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b‑1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Rule 12b‑1 Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Shares.
No fees are currently paid by the Funds pursuant to the Rule 12b‑1 Plan, and such fees are not expected to be imposed. However, in the event fees are charged pursuant to the Rule 12b‑1 Plan in the future, because the fees are ongoing, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain other types of sales charges.
The Advisor, out of its own resources and legitimate profits and without additional cost to the Funds or their shareholders, may
provide cash payments to certain intermediaries, sometimes referred to as revenue sharing. These payments are in addition to or in lieu of any amounts payable to financial intermediaries under the Rule 12b‑1 Plan. The Advisor may make revenue sharing payments to intermediaries for shareholder services or distribution-related services, such as: marketing support services; access to third party platforms; access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the intermediary; and inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, and in other sales programs. The Advisor may also pay cash compensation in the form of finder’s fees that vary depending on the dollar amount of the Shares sold. From time to time, and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, the Advisor may also provide non‑cash compensation to representatives of various intermediaries who sell Shares or provide services to a Fund’s shareholders.
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 per Share is available, free of charge, on the Funds’ website at www.imgp.com.
Additional Notices
 
Shares are not sponsored, endorsed, or promoted by the Exchange. The Exchange is not responsible for, nor has it participated in the determination of, the timing, prices, or quantities of Shares to be issued, nor in the determination or calculation of the equation by which Shares are redeemable. The Exchange has no obligation or liability to owners of Shares in connection with the administration, marketing, or trading of Shares.
Without limiting any of the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange have any liability for any lost profits or indirect, punitive, special, or consequential damages even if notified of the possibility thereof.
The Advisor and each Fund make no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of Shares or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in a Fund particularly.
