COHEN & STEERS REAL ESTATE ACTIVE ETF

Summary Section
The investment objective of Cohen & Steers Real Estate Active ETF (the “Fund”) is total return through investment in real estate securities.
This table describes the fees and expenses that you could pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

(1)
Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.70%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and 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 funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above; and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after July 31, 2027 (through July 31, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$72
$245
$434
$980
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
3

result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 52% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its objective by investing in publicly traded real estate securities.The Fund is actively managed, and the Advisor and the Fund’s sub-investment advisors, Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (“CNS Asia”) and Cohen & Steers UK Limited (“CNS UK,” together with CNS Asia, the “Subadvisors”), adhere to a bottom-up, relative value investment process when selecting securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, the Advisor and Subadvisors utilize a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on factors including price-to-net asset value, cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a dividend discount model (“DDM”). Analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative considerations in their price-to-net asset value, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models’ output and drive the portfolio managers’ investment decisions. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in income-producing common stocks and other equity securities issued by real estate companies, such as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and similar REIT-like entities. Real estate equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and other equity securities issued by real estate companies. A real estate company is one that (i) derives at least 50% of its revenue from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land; or (ii) has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate. REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. The Fund may invest without limit in shares of REITs. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). Foreign REITs and REIT-like entities are organized outside of the U.S. and have operations and receive tax treatment in their respective countries similar to that of U.S. REITs. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold at least 25% of its net assets) in securities of issuers in the real estate industry. The Fund retains the ability to invest in real estate companies of any market capitalization.
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 5%, and no more than 25%, of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers (including emerging market issuers) which meet the same criteria for investment as domestic companies, including investments in such companies in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”).
4

The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar strategic transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund’s primary use of foreign currency transactions will be to reduce the foreign currency risk inherent in the Fund’s investments.
The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in debt securities issued or guaranteed by real estate and other companies. Such debt securities may be of any maturity or credit rating, including investment grade securities, below investment grade securities and unrated securities. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal.
The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Common Stock Risk
Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.
5

Real Estate Industry Concentration Risk
Since the Fund concentrates its assets in companies engaged in the real estate industry, your investment in the Fund will be closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs.
REIT Risk
In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to expenses of the Fund. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities Risk
Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts (including Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine), instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its net asset value (“NAV”) and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.
The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, including foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency futures
6

contracts, put and call options on foreign currencies and foreign currency swaps. Such transactions may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially. 
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk
Companies in the real estate industry tend to be small- to medium-sized companies in relation to the equity markets as a whole. There may be less trading in a smaller company’s stock, which means that buy and sell transactions in that stock could have a larger impact on the stock’s price than is the case with larger company stocks. Smaller companies also may have fewer lines of business so that changes in any one line of business may have a greater impact on a smaller company’s stock price than is the case for a larger company. Further, smaller company stocks may perform differently in different cycles than larger company stocks. Accordingly, real estate company shares can, and at times will, perform differently than large company stocks.
Debt Securities Risk
Debt securities generally present various risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk, prepayment and extension risk, convertible securities risk, and liquidity risk. High yield securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for high yield securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities, and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.
Preferred Securities Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a “Creation Unit”), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative
7

supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for Fund shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political,
8

regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor and the Subadvisors, and their own service
9

providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of the Fund, the Advisor, a Subadvisor, custodian, transfer agent or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisors may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While each of the Fund, the Advisor and Subadvisors have established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor or Subadvisors, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor, a Subadvisor or an affiliate of the Advisor or a Subadvisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. 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, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the
10

extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.
Because the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, no performance returns are presented in this part of the Prospectus. Performance information for the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, is available in the Financial Highlights section of this Prospectus.Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s returns and comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad measure of market performance.The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for an in-kind basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund’s shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.59%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and 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 funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above; and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after July 31, 2027 (through July 31, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement).

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 48% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its objective primarily by investing in issues of preferred and other income securities believed to be undervalued relative to credit quality and other investment characteristics.In making this determination, the Advisor evaluates the fundamental characteristics of an issuer, including an issuer’s creditworthiness, and also takes into account prevailing market factors. In analyzing credit quality, the Advisor considers not only fundamental analysis, but also an issuer’s corporate and capital structure and the placement of the preferred or other income securities within that structure. In evaluating relative value, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of preferred and other income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including traditional preferred securities; hybrid preferred securities that have investment and economic characteristics of both preferred stock and debt securities; floating rate preferred securities; corporate debt securities; convertible securities; contingent capital securities (“CoCos”); and securities of other investment companies that invest primarily in preferred or other income securities as described herein. To the extent the Fund invests in securities of other investment companies, the Fund will consider the investments of these funds, to the extent known by the Fund, in determining compliance with this policy.
The Fund may also invest in certain restricted securities including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) (referred to as Rule 144A Securities) and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Fund also will invest at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, which is comprised of the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) and insurance industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its net assets invested in any one of these industries. In addition, the Fund also may focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications. The Advisor retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund’s investments across various sectors and industries.
14

The Fund expects to invest at least 40% of its assets in preferred and other income securities issued by companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside of the U.S. The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may be non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund typically intends to hedge currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may invest in preferred and other income securities of any maturity or credit rating, including investment grade securities, below investment grade securities and unrated securities. Although not required to do so, the Fund will generally seek to invest at least 50% of its net assets in securities rated investment grade at the time of purchase and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) (for example minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. In evaluating unrated securities, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes. The maturities of debt securities in which the Fund will invest generally will be longer-term (ten years or more); however, as a result of changing market conditions and interest rates, the Fund may also invest in shorter-term debt securities.
The Fund is authorized to purchase, sell or enter into any derivative contract or option on a derivative contract, transaction or instrument, without limitation (subject to applicable law), including various interest rate transactions such as swaps, caps, floors or collars, and foreign currency transactions such as foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar strategic transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund’s primary uses of derivative contracts will be to enter into interest rate and currency hedging transactions in order to manage the interest rate and foreign currency risk inherent in the Fund’s investments and to enter into total return swaps to manage credit risk.
The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and
15

unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Preferred Securities Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.
Debt Securities Risk
Debt securities generally present various risks, including many of the risks described above under “Preferred Securities Risk.” These include interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk, prepayment and extension risk, convertible securities risk, and liquidity risk.
Below Investment Grade Securities Risk
Below investment grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic condition could disrupt the market for below investment grade securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.
Financials Sector Concentration Risk
Because the Fund typically invests at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition, than a fund that does not concentrate its investments in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk
Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign
16

securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.
Contingent Capital Securities Risk
CoCos are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security for the benefit of the issuer, for example, an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. CoCos may be subject to an automatic write-down (i.e., the automatic write-down of the principal amount or value of the securities, potentially to zero, and the cancellation of the securities) under certain circumstances, which could result in the Fund losing a portion or all of its investment in such securities. In addition, the Fund may not have any rights with respect to repayment of the principal amount of the securities that has not become due or the payment of interest or dividends on such securities for any period from (and including) the interest or dividend payment date falling immediately prior to the occurrence of such automatic write-down. An automatic write-down could also result in a reduced income rate if the dividend or interest payment is based on the security’s par value. If a CoCo provides for mandatory conversion of the security into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as an adverse event, the Fund could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, as a result of the issuer’s common stock not paying a dividend. In addition, a conversion event would likely be the result of or related to the deterioration of the issuer’s financial condition (e.g., such as a decrease in the issuer’s capital ratio) and status as a going concern, so the market price of the issuer’s common stock received by the Fund may have declined, perhaps substantially, and may continue to decline, which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Further, the issuer’s common stock would be subordinate to the issuer’s other security classes and therefore worsen the Fund’s standing in a bankruptcy proceeding. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the issuer’s equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or “junk” securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below investment grade securities. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or
17

government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund. See “Below Investment Grade Securities Risk” above.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a “Creation Unit”), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Cash Transactions Risk
The Fund intends to transact many of its creation and redemption orders for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any such sales by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that satisfies redemptions entirely or primarily in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effected in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”). This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium
18

or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for Fund shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular Fund investments may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity,
19

the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” below.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
The Fund’s use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency or credit risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that jurisdiction or otherwise subject to that jurisdiction’s derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a “limited derivatives user.” If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund’s investment strategy.
Rule 144A Securities Risk
Rule 144A Securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”). Institutional
20

markets for Rule 144A Securities that exist or may develop may provide both readily ascertainable values for such securities and the ability to promptly sell such securities. However, if there are an insufficient number of QIBs interested in purchasing Rule 144A Securities held by the Fund, the Fund will be subject to liquidity risk and thus may not be able to sell the Rule 144A Securities at a desirable time or price.
Regulation S Securities Risk
Regulation S securities are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Because Regulation S securities are generally less liquid than registered securities, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than publicly traded securities or may not be able to sell them at the price desired. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded or otherwise offered in the United States. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in losses to the Fund.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example,
21

climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor) may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund and the Advisor may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While each of the Fund and Advisor have established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. 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, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
22

Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.
Because the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, no performance returns are presented in this part of the Prospectus. Performance information for the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, is available in the Financial Highlights section of this Prospectus.Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s returns and comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad measure of market performance.The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Managers
The Fund’s portfolio managers are:
Elaine Zaharis-Nikas—Executive Vice President of the Advisor. Ms. Zaharis-Nikas has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Jerry Dorost—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Dorost has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Robert Kastoff—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Kastoff has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for cash, but also may be issued and redeemed for an in-kind basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund’s shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.50%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and 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 funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above; and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after July 31, 2027 (through July 31, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$204
$370
$852
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
26

result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 50% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its objective by investing in securities of natural resource companies (as described in greater detail below).The Fund is actively managed by the Advisor, which combines top-down and bottom-up analysis in evaluating particular investments. The Advisor’s portfolio construction process takes into account risk-parity at the sector-level, meaning that the Advisor generally seeks to provide the Fund with similar risk contributions, across the major three natural resource sectors: (i) metals and mining, which includes precious and non-precious metals and minerals; (ii) energy, which includes traditional and renewable sources; and (iii) agriculture, which includes chemicals, timber, farming and related machinery. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, which the Advisor defines as companies which are engaged in the business of holding natural resource assets or earning revenues which are derived from natural resources, or which otherwise form part of the value chain of natural resource industries, which includes the exploration, mining, extraction, production, processing, storage or transportation of natural resources or otherwise developing or providing goods and services that are related to natural resources, such as manufactures of equipment used for the foregoing.The Advisor considers natural resources to include precious metals (e.g., gold, platinum, palladium or silver), non-precious metals (e.g., copper, zinc or iron ore), minerals, traditional energy sources (e.g., oil, natural gas or coal), renewable energy sources (e.g., wind, solar, biomass, geothermal or hydroelectric), timber and forestry products, food and agricultural products (e.g., fertilizer), farm machinery and chemicals.The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold at least 25% of its net assets) in securities of natural resource companies. The Fund may invest in securities of natural resource companies of any market capitalization.
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock and other equity securities, but may also invest in debt securities, preferred securities and other securities or financial instruments. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), European depositary receipts (“EDRs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”), foreign stocks which may be denominated in foreign currencies and traded outside of the U.S., private investments in public equity (“PIPEs”), private placements and master limited partnerships (“MLPs”). The Fund may also invest in commodities and commodity derivatives, whether directly or indirectly through investments in other ETFs or other funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).
The Fund may participate in the initial public offering (“IPO”) market of securities.
The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including companies located in emerging markets.
27

Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Common Stock Risk
Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.
Natural Resources Sector Concentration Risk
Because the Fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector. The Fund’s investments in securities of natural resource companies involve risks. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including natural disasters, inflation and international politics. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in the natural resources sector, there is the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a downturn in that sector. For example, natural events (such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires or disease outbreaks in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as acts of terrorism, coups, wars and other military confrontations, tariffs, sanctions or embargos) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic natural resource companies if they have significant operations or investments in foreign countries. Changes in interest rates and general economic conditions may also affect the demand for natural resources.
28

Agriculture Companies Risk
Economic forces and government policies and regulations affecting agriculture companies could adversely impact the Fund’s investments. Agricultural and livestock production and trade flows are significantly affected by government policies and regulations. Governmental policies affecting agriculture companies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies and import and export restrictions on agricultural equipment, commodities, commodity products and livestock, can influence agriculture company profitability, the decision to plant or raise certain crops/livestock as opposed to others, the location and size of crop and livestock production, whether unprocessed or processed commodity products are traded and the volume and types of imports and exports. In addition, agriculture companies must comply with a broad range of environmental, food safety, worker safety and health laws and regulations. Additional or more stringent laws and regulations may be enacted in the future which could have a material adverse effect on such companies. In addition, agriculture companies may be significantly affected by climate changes, adverse weather, natural disasters, pollution and disease, which could reduce or halt production.
Energy Companies Risk
Issuers in energy-related industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy sources. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to maintain or expand their reserves. Energy exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. Energy-related companies may be at risk of environmental damage claims.
Materials Companies Risk
Companies engaged in the mining production or distribution of goods in the materials sector may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and world events, economic and political conditions, energy conservation and other environmental policies, commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, litigation and government regulations, increased competition, overproduction, depletion of resources and labor relations.
Precious Metal and Related Securities Risk
Prices of precious metals and of securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry have historically experienced high levels of volatility. The high volatility of precious metal prices may adversely affect the financial condition of companies involved with precious metals. The production and sale of precious metals by central banks, governments, or other larger holders of such metals may be adversely affected by various financial, economic, political, and social factors, which are unpredictable and can have a significant negative impact on the prices of precious metals and the securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry. Other factors that may affect the prices of precious metals and securities related to them include changes in inflation, the outlook for inflation and changes in commercial, industrial and consumer demand for such metals.
Gold-Related Investments Risk
Prices of gold or gold-related investments may move up and down rapidly, and have historically offered lower long-term performance than the stock market as a whole. Historically, gold markets have
29

experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices, as well as sharp fluctuations. Gold can be influenced by a variety of economic, financial and political factors, especially inflation: when inflation is low or expected to fall, prices tend to be weak.
Industrial Metals Related Risk
Industrial metals industries may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic and political conditions, environmental regulations, depletion of resources, labor relations, increased competition and changes in industrial and commercial demand for industrial metals. As a result, industrial metals have been and may continue to be subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time.
Timber and Forestry Industry Risk
The timber and forestry industry may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic conditions, interest rates, environmental and weather conditions and natural disasters, and government regulations, among other factors.
Infrastructure Companies Risk
Securities and instruments of infrastructure companies are more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting their industries. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to:
high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs;
difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets;
inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment;
costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations;
regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities;
government regulation of rates charged to customers;
service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps;
the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards;
technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and
general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and utilities assets.
Master Limited Partnership Risk
An investment in MLP units involves some risks that differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control on matters affecting the partnership.
30

Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. MLPs holding credit-related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt issuers. MLPs that concentrate in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector) or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry, sector or region. The benefit derived from the Fund’s investment in MLPs is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
The Fund’s use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that jurisdiction or otherwise subject to that jurisdiction’s derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a “limited derivatives user.” If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund’s investment strategy.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a “Creation Unit”), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
31

Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for Fund shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular Fund investments may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer
32

inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk
Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the
33

Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” above.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
34

Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor) may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund and the Advisor may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While each of the Fund and Advisor have established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
New Fund Risk
The Fund is a newly formed ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and/or at a time that may not be favorable to shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. 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, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
35

Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.
Because the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, no performance returns are presented in this part of the Prospectus. Performance information for the Fund for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, is available in the Financial Highlights section of this Prospectus.Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s returns and comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad measure of market performance.The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Advisor
Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc.
Portfolio Manager
The Fund’s portfolio manager is:
Tyler S. Rosenlicht—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Rosenlicht has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for an in-kind basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund’s shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.49%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and 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 funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above; and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after July 31, 2027 (through July 31, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal period from December 9, 2025 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its objectives primarily by investing in issues of preferred and other income securities, with a focus on short duration investment grade, institutional preferred securities that offer the potential for tax-efficient income.The Advisor evaluates the fundamental characteristics of an issuer, including an issuer’s creditworthiness, and also takes into account prevailing market factors. In analyzing credit quality, the Advisor considers not only fundamental analysis, but also an issuer’s corporate and capital structure and the placement of the preferred or other income securities within that structure. The Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes. In assessing duration, the Advisor considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security’s yield, coupon payments (including the frequency of coupon resets, if applicable), price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of preferred and other income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies, which may be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter (“OTC”) including traditional preferred securities; hybrid preferred securities that have investment and economic characteristics of both preferred stock and debt securities; floating rate preferred securities; corporate debt securities; convertible securities; contingent capital securities (“CoCos”); and securities of other open-end funds, closed-end funds or ETFs that invest primarily in preferred or other income securities, as described herein. To the extent the Fund invests in securities of other investment companies, the Fund will consider the investments of these funds, to the extent known by the Fund, in determining compliance with this policy.
The Fund may also invest in certain restricted securities including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) (referred to as Rule 144A Securities) and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in securities of issuers in the utilities and financials sectors, collectively. The financials sector is comprised of the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) and insurance
39

industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its net assets invested in any one of these industries. The utilities sector is comprised of companies involved in the manufacturing, production, generation, transmission, distribution or sales of gas or electric energy; water supply, waste and sewage disposal; independent power and renewable electricity producers; and companies with public utility operations. In addition, the Fund also may focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, pipelines, health care and telecommunications. The Advisor retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund’s investments across various sectors and industries.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to target a weighted average modified duration of less than three years and is managed to seek to help reduce volatility associated with changes in interest rates. However, the Fund’s duration may be longer than three years depending on market conditions and other factors. For example, extreme market movements could cause the durations of certain securities owned by the Fund to fluctuate, potentially extending the Fund’s duration beyond three years. The Fund may also attempt to manage the Fund’s duration by entering into derivatives transactions, including, among others, interest rate swaps.
Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a fixed-income or preferred security that serves as a measure of the security’s price risk to changes in interest rates (or yields). Modified duration (“duration”) is a more precise measure of a security’s sensitivity to interest rates (or yields) compared to its term to maturity. Prices of securities with higher durations are usually more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. Duration incorporates certain characteristics of a security, such as the security’s yield, coupon payments (including the frequency of coupon resets, if applicable), price and par value, final maturity (if any) and call features, into one measure.
The Fund expects to invest at least 40% of its assets in preferred and other income securities issued by companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside of the U.S. The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may be non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund typically intends to hedge currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may invest in preferred and other income securities of any maturity or credit rating, including investment grade securities, below investment grade securities and unrated securities. Although not required to do so, the Fund will generally seek to invest at least 50% of its net assets in securities rated investment grade at the time of purchase and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) (for example minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. In evaluating unrated securities, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes.
40

The Fund is authorized to purchase, sell or enter into any derivative contract or option on a derivative contract, transaction or instrument, without limitation (subject to applicable law), including various interest rate transactions such as swaps, caps, floors or collars, and foreign currency transactions such as foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar strategic transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund’s primary uses of derivative contracts will be to enter into interest rate and currency hedging transactions in order to manage the interest rate and foreign currency risk inherent in the Fund’s investments and to enter into total return swaps to manage credit risk.
The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Preferred Securities Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that preferred securities and other fixed income investments will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall, and therefore the Fund may underperform during periods of rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is discussed in more detail under “Preferred Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk” and “Debt Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
Duration Risk
Duration is a mathematical calculation of the average life of a fixed-income or preferred security that serves as a measure of the security’s price risk to changes in interest rates (or yields). Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations.
Debt Securities Risk
Debt securities generally present various risks, including many of the risks described above under “Preferred Securities Risk.” These include interest rate risk, credit risk, call risk, prepayment and extension risk, convertible securities risk, and liquidity risk.
41

Below Investment Grade Securities Risk
Below investment grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic condition could disrupt the market for below investment grade securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.
Concentration Risk
Because under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in securities of issuers in the utilities and financials sectors, collectively, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting each of these sectors.
With respect to the financials sector, these include changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition, than a fund that does not concentrate its investments in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financial sector, include the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries.
Companies in the utilities sector may be affected by general economic conditions, supply and demand, financing and operating costs, rate caps, interest rates, liabilities arising from governmental or civil actions, consumer confidence and spending, competition, resource conservation and depletion, human-made or natural disasters, geopolitical events, and environmental and other government regulations. To the extent that the Fund focuses its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, pipelines, health care and telecommunications, the Fund will be subject to the risks associated with these particular sectors and industries. These sectors and industries may be adversely affected by, among others, changes in government regulation, world events and economic conditions.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk
Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments
42

and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.
Contingent Capital Securities Risk
CoCos are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics built into the terms of the security for the benefit of the issuer, for example, an automatic write-down of principal or a mandatory conversion into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as the issuer’s capital ratio falling below a certain level. CoCos may be subject to an automatic write-down (i.e., the automatic write-down of the principal amount or value of the securities, potentially to zero, and the cancellation of the securities) under certain circumstances, which could result in the Fund losing a portion or all of its investment in such securities. In addition, the Fund may not have any rights with respect to repayment of the principal amount of the securities that has not become due or the payment of interest or dividends on such securities for any period from (and including) the interest or dividend payment date falling immediately prior to the occurrence of such automatic write-down. An automatic write-down could also result in a reduced income rate if the dividend or interest payment is based on the security’s par value. If a CoCo provides for mandatory conversion of the security into common stock of the issuer under certain circumstances, such as an adverse event, the Fund could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, as a result of the issuer’s common stock not paying a dividend. In addition, a conversion event would likely be the result of or related to the deterioration of the issuer’s financial condition (e.g., such as a decrease in the issuer’s capital ratio) and status as a going concern, so the market price of the issuer’s common stock received by the Fund may have declined, perhaps substantially, and may continue to decline, which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Further, the issuer’s common stock would be subordinate to the issuer’s other security classes and therefore worsen the Fund’s standing in a bankruptcy proceeding. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the issuer’s equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. In addition, most CoCos are considered to be high yield or “junk” securities and are therefore subject to the risks of investing in below investment grade securities. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund. See “Below Investment Grade Securities Risk” above.
43

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a “Creation Unit”), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Cash Transactions Risk
The Fund intends to typically transact many of its creation and redemption orders for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any such sales by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that satisfies redemptions entirely or primarily in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effected in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements for qualification as a RIC. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund may trade at prices that vary from Fund NAV. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price
44

differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
45

Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” below.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
The Fund’s use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency or credit risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, OTC trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that jurisdiction or otherwise subject to that jurisdiction’s derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a “limited derivatives user.” If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund’s investment strategy.
Rule 144A Securities Risk
Rule 144A securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain QIBs. Institutional markets for Rule 144A securities exist or may develop and may provide both readily ascertainable values for such securities and the ability to promptly sell such securities. However, if there are an insufficient number of QIBs interested in purchasing Rule 144A securities held by the Fund, the Fund will be subject to liquidity risk and thus may not be able to sell the Rule 144A securities at a desirable time or price.
Regulation S Securities Risk
Regulation S securities are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of
46

legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Because Regulation S securities are generally less liquid than registered securities, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than publicly traded securities or may not be able to sell them at the price desired. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded or otherwise offered in the United States. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in losses to the Fund.
Inflation/Deflation Risk
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio and Fund shares. Recently, inflation rates in the U.S. and elsewhere have been relatively high. There can be no assurance inflation rates will not remain high or rise or that efforts to slow or reverse inflation will not harm the economy and asset values. Periods of high or increasing inflation may give rise to higher interest rates, the risks of which are discussed in greater detail under “Preferred Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk” and “Debt Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
47

The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor) may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund and the Advisor may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While each of the Fund and Advisor have established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
New Fund Risk
The Fund is a newly formed ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and/or at a time that may not be favorable to shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time.
48

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, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.

Portfolio Managers
The Fund’s portfolio managers are:
Elaine Zaharis-Nikas—Executive Vice President of the Advisor. Ms. Zaharis-Nikas has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Jerry Dorost—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Dorost has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Robert Kastoff—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Kastoff has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for an in-kind basket of securities. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund’s shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement
50

account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Summary Section
The investment objective of Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Opportunities Active ETF (the “Fund”) is to seek total return.
This table describes the fees and expenses that you could pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples below.

(1)
Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc., the Fund’s investment advisor (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses through July 31, 2027 so that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding payments made under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 distribution and service plan (if or when such fees are imposed), brokerage commissions and other expenses connected to the execution of portfolio transactions, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and, upon approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.65%. This contractual agreement can only be amended or terminated by agreement of the Fund’s Board and the Advisor and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Advisor and 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 funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above; and that the Advisor did not waive its fee and/or reimburse expenses after July 31, 2027 (through July 31, 2027, expenses are based on the net amount pursuant to the fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

$66
$251
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
52

result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the Fund’s most recent fiscal period from December 9, 2025 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 6% of the average value of its portfolio.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that pursues its objective primarily by investing in a high conviction portfolio of global common stocks and other equity securities issued by infrastructure companies.The Fund is actively managed, and the Advisor and the Fund’s sub-investment advisors, Cohen & Steers Asia Limited (“CNS Asia”) and Cohen & Steers UK Limited (“CNS UK,” together with CNS Asia, the “Subadvisors”), rely on a fundamental analysis of each company. Securities are evaluated for their potential to provide an attractive total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Advisor and Subadvisors review each company’s potential for success in light of general economic and industry trends, as well as the company’s quality of management, financial condition, business plan, industry and sector market position and dividend payout ratio. The Advisor and Subadvisors utilize a value-oriented approach, and evaluate each company’s valuation on the basis of relative price/cash flow and price/earnings multiples, earnings growth rate, dividend yield, and price/book value, among other metrics. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to hold a small number of securities. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks and other equity securities issued by infrastructure companies, which consist of companies involved in utilities, transportation, energy, communications, and other infrastructure companies that provide infrastructure-related goods and services, including suppliers and facilitators, which may include digital, social and infrastructure development companies. These equity securities can consist of common stocks; rights or warrants to purchase common stocks; securities convertible into common stocks where the conversion feature represents, in the Advisor’s or a Subadvisor’s view, a significant element of the securities’ value. The Fund may also invest in preferred stocks; equity units; initial public offerings (“IPOs”) of equity securities; and private investments in public equity (“PIPEs”). The Fund may invest in infrastructure securities that in certain instances are structured as Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”).
The Fund may invest without limit in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in developed countries, but may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of companies domiciled in emerging market countries. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. Accordingly, the Fund will hold securities and instruments denominated in non-U.S. currencies, or sponsored and unsponsored depositary receipts for such securities.
Infrastructure companies are companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from, or have at least 50% of their assets committed to, the management, ownership, operation, construction, development, servicing or financing of assets used in connection with: the generation, production, transmission
53

transportation, storage, sale or distribution of electric energy, natural gas, natural gas liquids (including propane), crude oil, refined petroleum products, coal or other energy sources including nuclear and renewables; the distribution, purification and treatment of water and waste management and remediation; provision of communications services, including cable television, internet, wireless voice, data services, video services, satellite, microwave, radio, telephone data centers, cellular networks, fiber optics and cabling and other communications media; or the provision of transportation services, including toll roads, airports, railroads or marine ports; social infrastructure involved in essential services such as healthcare, education and civic systems, facilities and services; and companies involved in the construction, engineering and production of materials. Infrastructure companies also include companies organized as master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and their affiliates.
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock and other equity securities, but may also invest in debt securities, preferred securities and other securities or financial instruments. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, American depositary receipts (“ADRs”), European depositary receipts (“EDRs”), global depositary receipts (“GDRs”), foreign stocks which may be denominated in foreign currencies and traded outside of the U.S., PIPEs, private placements and MLPs. The Fund may also invest in certain restricted securities including securities that are only eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) (referred to as Rule 144A Securities) and securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in preferred securities and other fixed-income securities, including preferred stock, hybrid-preferred securities, corporate debt obligations and debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade securities. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (for example, minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”), respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor or a Subadvisor. Below investment grade quality securities, or securities that are unrated but judged to be below investment grade by the Advisor, are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities.
The Fund has adopted a fundamental policy (which cannot be changed without shareholder approval) whereby the Fund may not invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 25% of its net assets in securities of infrastructure companies, provided that this limitation shall exclude securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
The Fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments to seek to generate returns, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. The Fund may engage in foreign currency transactions, including foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar strategic transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund’s primary use of foreign currency transactions will be to reduce the foreign currency risk inherent in the Fund’s investments.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
54

Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Common Stock Risk
Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.
Infrastructure Companies Risk
Securities and instruments of infrastructure companies are more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting their industries. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to:
high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs;
difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets;
inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment;
costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations;
regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities;
government regulation of rates charged to customers;
55

service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps;
the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards;
technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and
general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and utilities assets.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk
Risks of investing in foreign securities, which can be expected to be greater for investments in emerging markets, include currency risks, future political and economic developments, including but not limited to, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), and possible imposition of foreign withholding or other taxes on income or proceeds payable on the securities (including trading and tariff arrangements and restrictions, sanctions and cybersecurity attacks). In addition, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign issuer than about a domestic issuer, and foreign issuers may not be subject to the same accounting, auditing and financial recordkeeping standards and requirements as domestic issuers.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets, exchanges and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Foreign securities markets and exchanges may be less liquid, more volatile and less subject to governmental supervision than in the United States. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes, exchange controls, the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, restrictions on repatriation of capital invested or from problems in security registration or settlement and custody. Furthermore, custody practices and regulations abroad may offer less protection to investors, such as the Fund, and the Fund may be limited in its ability to enforce contractual rights or obligations. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past experienced substantial market disruptions and may do so in the future. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and have thus been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade.
Master Limited Partnership Risk
An investment in MLP units involves some risks that differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control on matters affecting the partnership. Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. MLPs holding credit-related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt issuers. MLPs that
56

concentrate in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector) or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry, sector or region. The benefit derived from the Fund’s investment in MLPs is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
Small Number of Holdings Risk
Because the Fund intends to hold a small number of securities under normal market conditions, the Fund’s performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single security and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a fund that has a higher number of holdings.
Preferred Securities Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; and special redemption rights.
Credit and Below Investment Grade Securities Risk
Credit risk is the risk that a security in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or the issuer will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. Lower-rated securities, or equivalent unrated securities, which are commonly known as “high-yield bonds” or “junk bonds,” generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic conditions could disrupt the market for lower-rated securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.
REIT Risk
In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to expenses of the Fund. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
The Fund’s use of derivatives, including for the purpose of hedging interest rate or foreign currency or credit risks, presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Among the risks presented are market risk, credit risk, counterparty risk, financial leverage risk, liquidity risk, over-the-counter (“OTC”) trading risk and tracking risk. The use of derivatives can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the
57

underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. In addition, the use of derivatives to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially.
The U.S. government has enacted legislation that provides for regulation of the derivatives market including minimum margin and capital, clearing and trade execution requirements. The European Union, United Kingdom and some other jurisdictions have implemented and continue to implement similar requirements, which affect the Fund when it enters into a derivatives transaction with a counterparty organized in that jurisdiction or otherwise subject to that jurisdiction’s derivatives regulations. These regulations have the potential to increase the costs of using derivatives, may limit the availability of some forms of derivatives or the Fund’s ability to use derivatives, and may adversely affect the performance of some derivative instruments used by the Fund as well as the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective through the use of such instruments.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a “limited derivatives user.” If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund’s investment strategy.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an authorized participant (an “Authorized Participant”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem an aggregation of a specified number of shares (each a “Creation Unit”), Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of Fund shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”). This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Partial Cash Transactions Risk
Unlike certain ETFs that effect creation and redemption transactions entirely or primarily in-kind, the Fund expects to effect some redemptions partially for cash. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions partially for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any such sales by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that satisfies redemptions entirely or primarily in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of part of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effected in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements for qualification as a RIC. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would
58

not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares entirely in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund's use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares.
Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for Fund shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even
59

halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular Fund investments may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise. The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, and such investments are subject to the risks described under “Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk” above.
Rule 144A Securities Risk
Rule 144A Securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain QIBs. Institutional markets for Rule 144A Securities that exist or may develop may provide both readily ascertainable values for such securities and the ability to promptly sell such securities. However, if there are an insufficient number of QIBs interested in purchasing Rule 144A Securities held by the Fund, the Fund will be subject to liquidity risk and thus may not be able to sell the Rule 144A Securities at a desirable time or price.
Regulation S Securities Risk
Regulation S securities are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Because Regulation S securities are generally less liquid than
60

registered securities, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than publicly traded securities or may not be able to sell them at the price desired. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded or otherwise offered in the United States. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in losses to the Fund.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical and market events (including armed conflicts, terrorism, natural disasters, public health emergencies, trade disputes, tariffs, sanctions, and political or economic instability) can cause significant volatility in global markets and may adversely affect the Fund’s investments. Disruptions to supply chains, sharp movements in commodity prices, and changes in investor sentiment or credit conditions may negatively impact issuers, sectors, or entire regions, even those not directly involved in the originating event.
Recent examples include the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, and increasing political polarization around issues such as trade policy, monetary policy and the U.S. debt ceiling. The rapid development and regulation of artificial intelligence technologies may also introduce uncertainty. The scope, severity, and duration of these risks are difficult to predict, but they could materially reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence including machine learning technology and generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT (collectively, “AI Technologies”), and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the
61

Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor and the Subadvisors, and their own service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of the Fund, the Advisor, a Subadvisor, custodian, transfer agent or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisors may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While each of the Fund, the Advisor and Subadvisors have established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
New Fund Risk
The Fund is a newly formed ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and/or at a time that may not be favorable to shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor or Subadvisors, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor, a Subadvisor or an affiliate of the Advisor or a Subadvisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. 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, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
62

Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Your investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency.
Because the Fund has not yet completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, no performance returns are presented in this part of the Prospectus. Performance information for the Fund from December 9, 2025 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2026, is available in the Financial Highlights section of this Prospectus.Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s returns and comparing the Fund’s performance to a broad measure of market performance.The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Portfolio Managers
The Fund’s portfolio managers are:
Benjamin Morton—Executive Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Morton has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Tyler S. Rosenlicht—Senior Vice President of the Advisor. Mr. Rosenlicht has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
Thuy Quynh Dang—Vice President of the Advisor. Ms. Dang has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2025.
The Fund issues and redeems shares only through Authorized Participants (intermediaries, typically broker-dealers who have executed an agreement with Foreside Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”), that governs transactions in Fund creation units) in large blocks of shares called Creation Units. Creation Units are issued and redeemed typically for an in-kind basket of securities plus cash. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on secondary markets through a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or a bank. Because the Fund’s shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount). You may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the ETF (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the ETF (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the bid/ask spread). Information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spread, is available at www.cohenandsteers.com.
The Fund’s distributions may be taxable to you as ordinary income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, and may consist of a non-taxable return of capital. Investments through such tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed upon withdrawal of monies from the tax-advantaged arrangement.
If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and/or its Advisor or Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares
64

and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your individual financial representative to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your individual financial representative or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

COHEN & STEERS REAL ESTATE ACTIVE ETF
The investment objective of the Fund is total return through investment in real estate securities. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks both capital appreciation and current income. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the real estate industry. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may change its investment objective without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is an ETF that is actively managed by the Advisor and the Subadvisors, which adhere to a bottom-up, relative value investment process when selecting publicly traded real estate securities. To guide the portfolio construction process, the Advisor and the Subadvisors utilize a proprietary valuation model that quantifies relative valuation of real estate securities based on factors including price-to-NAV, cash flow multiple/growth ratios and a DDM. Analysts incorporate both quantitative and qualitative considerations in their NAV, cash flow, growth and DDM estimates. The company research process includes an evaluation of commercial real estate supply and demand dynamics, management, strategy, property quality, financial strength and corporate structure. Judgments with respect to risk control, geographic and property sector diversification, liquidity and other factors are considered along with the models’ output and drive the portfolio managers’ investment decisions. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision making.
The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.
Real Estate Companies
For purposes of the Fund’s investment policies, a real estate company is one that:
derives at least 50% of its revenues from the ownership, construction, financing, management or sale of commercial, industrial or residential real estate and land;
or
has at least 50% of its assets invested in such real estate.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in income-producing common stocks and other equity securities issued by real estate companies (including REITs and REIT-like entities).
The equity securities in which the Fund invests can consist of:
common stocks;
66

rights or warrants to purchase common stocks;
securities convertible into common stocks where the conversion feature represents, in the Advisor’s view, a significant element of the securities’ value;
preferred stocks;
PIPEs; and
real estate private placements.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. The Fund may invest without limit in shares of REITs. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). As a result, U.S. REITs tend to pay relatively higher dividends than other types of companies. Generally, dividends paid by U.S. REITs are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction and are not considered “qualified dividend income” (“QDI”) eligible for reduced U.S. federal income tax rates but may be considered “qualified REIT dividends.” Qualified REIT dividends are dividends received from REITs that are neither capital gain dividends nor eligible for treatment as QDI and with respect to which the REIT shareholder meets certain other requirements. The Fund is permitted to pass through qualified REIT dividends to shareholders that meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to their shares. Qualified REIT dividends will be treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers, subject to certain limitations. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI.
REITs can generally be classified as equity REITs or mortgage REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments. The Fund invests primarily in equity REITs.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Real Estate Securities and Depositary Receipts
Under normal conditions, the Fund will invest at least 5%, and no more than 25%, of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. real estate companies, including investments in such companies in the form of ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.
67

Currency Hedging Transactions
Derivatives transactions in which the Fund may engage include currency hedging transactions. In order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies (including to hedge against anticipated future changes which otherwise might adversely affect the prices of securities that the Fund intends to purchase at a later date), the Fund may enter into foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency futures contracts and foreign currency swaps, as well as purchase put or call options on foreign currencies and engage in other similar strategic transactions. The Fund may also conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market.
A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price on a future date which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers. A foreign currency futures contract is an exchange-traded contract for the purchase or sale of a specified foreign currency at a specified price at a future date. A foreign currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange principal and interest payments on a loan made in one currency for principal and interest payments of a loan of equal value in another currency. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency futures contract or foreign currency swap, or purchase a currency option, for example, when it enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency or expects to receive a dividend or interest payment on a portfolio holding, in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar value of the security or payment. In addition, the Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, futures contract or swap or purchase a currency option in respect of a currency which acts as a proxy for a currency in which the Fund’s portfolio holdings or anticipated holdings are denominated. This second investment practice is generally referred to as “cross-hedging.”
The Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or character of the Fund’s distributions. To the extent any derivatives would be deemed to be illiquid, they will be included in the Fund’s maximum limitation of 15% of net assets invested in illiquid securities.
Debt Securities
The Fund may invest a maximum of 20% of its total assets in investment grade and non-investment grade debt securities of companies, including real estate companies. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one NRSRO (for example minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s or S&P, respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. Below investment grade quality securities, are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities.
Preferred Stocks
The Fund may invest in preferred stocks. Preferred stocks are securities that pay dividends at a specified rate and have a preference over common stocks in the payment of dividends and the liquidation of assets. This means that a company must pay dividends on its preferred stock prior to paying dividends on its common stock. In addition, in the event a company is liquidated, preferred
68

shareholders must be fully repaid on their investments before common shareholders can receive any money from the company. Preferred shareholders, however, usually have no right to vote for a company’s directors or on other corporate matters. Preferred stocks pay a fixed stream of income to investors, and this income stream is a primary source of the long-term investment return on preferred stocks. As a result, the market value of preferred stocks is generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates than the market value of common stocks. In this respect, preferred stocks share many investment characteristics with debt securities.

Additional Investment Information
In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.
Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including ETFs, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. ETFs and many closed-end funds trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Many ETFs hold a portfolio of common stocks or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes, but an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF.
The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies). As a stockholder in an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s or vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the fund’s or vehicle’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies or vehicles. In addition, the securities of other investment companies or pooled vehicles may be leveraged and will therefore be subject to leverage risks (in addition to other risks of the investment company’s or pooled vehicle’s strategy). The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs or listed closed-end funds.
Illiquid Securities
Illiquid investments are generally investments that a Fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and real estate private placements.
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program to assess and manage its liquidity risk. Under its program, the Fund is required to classify its investments into specific liquidity categories and monitor compliance with limits on investments in
69

illiquid securities. While the liquidity risk management program attempts to assess and manage liquidity risk, there is no guarantee it will be effective in its operation, and it will not reduce the liquidity risk inherent in the Fund’s investments.
Defensive Position
When the Advisor or a Subadvisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.
Investment Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (866)737-6370 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com in the “Funds” section under “Fund Literature,” generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period.
Each business day, the Fund also posts on its website an uncertified list of portfolio holdings as of the close of business on the prior business day. The Fund’s website also contains information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums/discounts, and bid-ask spreads, among other information.
Please see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risks of Investing in the Funds” for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Fund.

COHEN & STEERS PREFERRED AND INCOME OPPORTUNITIES ACTIVE ETF
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks high current income and capital appreciation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may change its investment objective without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is an ETF that pursues its objective primarily by investing in issues of preferred and other income securities believed to be undervalued relative to credit quality and other investment characteristics. In making this determination, the Advisor evaluates the fundamental characteristics of an issuer, including an issuer’s creditworthiness, and also takes into account prevailing market factors. In analyzing credit quality, the Advisor considers not only fundamental analysis, but also an issuer’s corporate and capital structure and the placement of the preferred or debt securities within that structure. In evaluating relative value, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of preferred and other income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies, which may be either exchange-traded or OTC, including:
traditional preferred securities;
hybrid-preferred securities;
floating rate preferred securities;
corporate debt securities;
CoCos;
convertible securities; and
securities of other open-end funds, closed-end funds or ETFs that invest primarily in preferred or debt securities as described herein.
These preferred and other income securities may be across a wide range of sectors and industries.
The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.
71

Preferred Securities
There are two basic types of preferred securities, traditional preferred securities and hybrid-preferred securities. Traditional preferred securities are perpetual and equity-like in nature. They may be issued by an entity taxable as a corporation and pay fixed or floating rate dividends. “Preference” means that a company must pay dividends on its preferred securities before paying any dividends on its common stock, and the claims of preferred securities holders are ahead of common stockholders’ claims on assets in a corporate liquidation or bankruptcy. However, these claims are subordinated to more senior creditors, including senior debt holders. Holders of preferred securities usually have no right to vote for corporate directors or on other matters. Preferred securities share many investment characteristics with both common stock and bonds; therefore, the risks and potential rewards of investing in the Fund may at times be similar to the risks of investing in both equity funds and bond funds.
Hybrid-preferred securities are debt instruments that have characteristics similar to those of traditional preferred securities. Hybrid preferred securities may be issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated trust or partnership of the corporation, generally in the form of preferred interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The hybrid-preferred securities market consists of both fixed and adjustable coupon rate securities that are either perpetual in nature or have stated maturity dates. Hybrid preferred holders generally have claims to assets in a corporate liquidation that are senior to those of traditional preferred securities but subordinate to those of senior debt holders. Certain subordinated debt and senior debt issues that have preferred characteristics are also considered to be part of the broader preferred securities market.
The Fund intends to invest in both OTC and exchange-traded preferred securities. OTC issues are often referred to in the industry as “capital securities.”
Floating rate preferred securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The terms of such securities provide that interest rates are adjusted periodically based upon an interest rate adjustment index. The adjustment intervals may be regular, and range from daily up to annually, or may be event-based, such as a change in the short-term interest rate. Because of the interest rate reset feature, floating rate securities provide the Fund with a certain degree of protection against rising interest rates, although the interest rates of floating rate securities will participate in any declines in interest rates as well.
Debt Securities
Debt securities in which the Fund may invest include corporate debt securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. corporations and other business entities, including U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or other business entities, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers and debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies. Such debt obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures and variable rate demand notes, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status. Such corporate debt securities are fixed-income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and normally must repay the amount borrowed on or before maturity.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Depositary Receipts
The Fund expects to invest at least 40% of its assets in preferred and other income securities issued by companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside of
72

the U.S. The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries.
Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may be non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund intends typically to hedge currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.
Convertible Securities
Convertible securities are hybrid securities that combine the investment characteristics of bonds and common stocks. Convertible securities typically consist of debt or perpetual preferred securities that may be converted within a specified period of time into a certain amount of common stock or other equity security of the same or a different issuer at a predetermined price. In some cases, conversion may be mandatory. They also include debt securities with warrants or common stock attached and hybrid and synthetic securities combining the features of debt securities and equity securities. Convertible securities entitle the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt, or dividends paid or accrued on preferred stock, until the security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged.
Contingent Capital Securities
Convertible securities also include CoCos. CoCos are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics that provide for an automatic write-down of the principal amount or value of securities or the mandatory conversion into common shares of the issuer under certain circumstances. A mandatory conversion might be automatically triggered, for instance, if a company fails to meet the capital minimum described in the security, the company’s regulator makes a determination that the security should convert, or the company receives specified levels of extraordinary public support. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor (worsening the Fund’s standing in a bankruptcy). In addition, some CoCos provide for an automatic write-down of capital (potentially to zero) under such circumstances.
Concentration in Financials Sector
The Fund also will invest at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, which is comprised of the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its net assets invested in any one of these industries. In addition, the Fund may also focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, utilities, pipelines, health care and telecommunications. The Advisor retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund’s investments across various sectors and industries.
73

Investment Grade and Below Investment Grade Securities
The Fund may invest in preferred and other income securities of any maturity or credit rating, including investment grade securities, below investment grade securities and unrated securities. Although not required to do so, the Fund will generally seek to invest at least 50% of its net assets in securities rated investment grade at the time of purchase and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one NRSRO (for example minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s or S&P, respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. In evaluating unrated securities, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes.
The maturities of debt securities in which the Fund will invest generally will be longer-term (ten years or more); however, as a result of changing market conditions and interest rates, the Fund may also invest in shorter-term debt securities.
Derivative and Hedging Transactions
The Fund is authorized to purchase, sell or enter into any derivative contract or option on a derivative contract, transaction or instrument including, without limitation (subject to applicable law), various interest rate transactions such as swaps, caps, floors or collars, and foreign currency transactions, such as foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund may also enter into short sales. The Fund’s primary uses of derivative contracts will be to enter into interest rate hedging transactions in order to manage the interest rate risk inherent in the Fund’s investments, foreign currency hedging transactions in order to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies (including to hedge against anticipated future changes which otherwise might adversely affect the prices of securities that the Fund intends to purchase at a later date) and total return swaps to manage credit risk. Derivative instruments, or “derivatives,” include instruments and contracts that are derived from and are valued in relation to one or more underlying interest rates, currencies, securities, financial benchmarks or indexes and include, without limitation, swap agreements (including total return swaps), futures contracts, forward contracts, options on futures or forward contracts, and listed or OTC put or call options on, or linked to the value of, any security, index or basket of securities, commodity or index or basket of commodities or other reference asset. Derivatives typically allow an investor to hedge or speculate upon the price movements of a particular interest rate, currency, security, financial benchmark or index at a fraction of the cost of acquiring, borrowing or selling short the underlying asset. The value of a derivative depends largely upon price movements in the underlying asset.
In a total return swap, one party receives a periodic payment equal to the total return of a specified security, basket of securities, index, or other reference asset for a specified period of time. In return, the other party receives a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread.
An interest rate swap involves the exchange of cash flows based on interest rate specifications and a specified principal amount, often a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate. In an interest rate cap, one party receives payments at the end of each period in which a specified
74

interest rate on a specified principal amount exceeds an agreed rate; conversely, in an interest rate floor one party may receive payments if a specified interest rate on a specified principal amount falls below an agreed rate. Interest rate collars involve selling a cap and purchasing a floor, or vice versa, to protect a fund against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price on a future date which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers. A foreign currency futures contract is an exchange-traded contract for the purchase or sale of a specified foreign currency at a specified price at a future date. A foreign currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange principal and interest payments on a loan made in one currency for principal and interest payments of a loan of equal value in another currency. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency futures contract or foreign currency swap, or purchase a currency option, for example, when it enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency or expects to receive a dividend or interest payment on a portfolio holding, in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar value of the security or payment. In addition, the Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, futures contract or swap or purchase a currency option in respect of a currency which acts as a proxy for a currency in which the Fund’s portfolio holdings or anticipated holdings are denominated. This second investment practice is generally referred to as “cross-hedging.” The Fund may also conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market.
The Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or character of the Fund’s distributions. To the extent any derivatives would be deemed to be illiquid, they will be included in the Fund’s maximum limitation of 15% of net assets invested in illiquid securities.
Rule 144A Securities
Certain securities in which the Fund may invest are Rule 144A Securities. Rule 144A Securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain qualified institutional buyers.
Regulation S Securities
The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States. Because Regulation S securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, Regulation S securities may be considered illiquid. If a Regulation S security is determined to be illiquid, the Fund’s maximum limitation of 15% of net assets invested in illiquid securities will apply.
In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.
75

Equity Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks, which represent residual ownership interest in issuers and include rights or warrants to purchase common stocks. Holders of common stocks are entitled to the income and increase in the value of the assets and business of the issuers after all debt obligations and obligations to preferred stockholders are satisfied. Common stocks generally have voting rights. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. The value of equity securities purchased by the Fund could decline if the financial condition of the companies the Fund invests in declines or if overall market and economic conditions deteriorate. The value of such securities also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or an increase in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, their value may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or generally adverse investor sentiment.
Government Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in government debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or a non-U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities include bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as “stripped” or “zero coupon” U.S. Treasury obligations representing future interest or principal payments on U.S. Treasury notes or bonds. Stripped securities are sold at a discount to their “face value,” and may exhibit greater price volatility than interest-bearing securities because investors receive no payment until maturity. Other obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. The U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case, if the issuer were to default, the Fund might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government. The downgrade in the long-term U.S. credit rating by at least two major rating agencies has introduced greater uncertainty about the ability of the U.S. to repay its obligations. Further credit rating downgrade or a U.S. credit default may result in increased volatility or liquidity risk, higher interest rates and lower prices for U.S. government securities and increased costs for all kinds of debt. The value of the Funds' shares may be adversely affected by rating agency downgrades of the U.S. government's credit rating given that the Funds may invest in U.S. government securities.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. Mortgage-related securities include mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBSs”), mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBSs”) and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans on real property. These securities may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its sponsored entities or may be issued by private organizations. One type of SMBS has two classes, with one class
76

receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or IO class), while the other class will receive the entire principal (the principal-only, or PO class). The yield to maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity from these securities.
Other asset-backed securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements and from sales of personal property. Regular payments received in respect of such securities include both interest and principal. Asset-backed securities typically have no U.S. government backing. Additionally, the ability of an issuer of asset-backed securities to enforce its security interest in the underlying assets may be limited.
If the Fund purchases a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security at a premium, that portion may be lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security, whether resulting from changes in interest rates or from prepayments or defaults in the underlying collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. Although the value of a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, because in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages and loans underlying the securities are prone to prepayment, thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received.
When interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the period of time over which income at the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security’s average maturity may be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s return.
The market for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities has in the past experienced high volatility and a lack of liquidity. As a result, the value of many of these securities has significantly declined. There can be no assurance that these markets will become more liquid or less volatile, and it is possible that the value of these securities could decline further.
Municipal Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities, which includes debt obligations of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. Municipal securities are issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which municipal securities may be issued include the refunding of outstanding obligations, obtaining funds for general operating expenses and lending such funds to other public institutions and facilities.
The two major classifications of municipal securities are bonds and notes. Bonds may be further classified as “general obligation” or “revenue” issues. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest.
77

Revenue bonds are payable from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, and in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Most notes are general obligations of the issuing municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. There are, of course, variations in the risks associated with municipal securities, both within a particular classification and between classifications. Although issued by governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, municipal securities are subject to default risk. The Fund does not anticipate meeting the requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) to pass through income from municipal securities as tax free to shareholders.
Investments in municipal securities may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of an issuer to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and a reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations.
Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including RIC ETFs, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. ETFs and many closed-end funds trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Many ETFs hold a portfolio of common stocks or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes, but an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF.
The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies). As a stockholder in an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s or vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the fund’s or vehicle’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies or vehicles. In addition, the securities of other investment companies or pooled vehicles may be leveraged and will therefore be subject to leverage risks (in addition to other risks of the investment company’s or pooled vehicle’s strategy). The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs or listed closed-end funds.
Illiquid Securities
Illiquid investments are generally investments that a Fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and private placements.
Defensive Position
When the Advisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the
78

extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.
Investment Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (866)737-6370 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com in the “Funds” section under “Fund Literature,” generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period.
Each business day, the Fund also posts on its website an uncertified list of portfolio holdings as of the close of business on the prior business day. The Fund’s website also contains information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums/discounts, and bid-ask spreads, among other information.
Please see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risks of Investing in the Funds” for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Fund.

COHEN & STEERS NATURAL RESOURCES ACTIVE ETF
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may change its investment objective without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is an ETF that pursues its objective by investing in securities of natural resource companies (as described in greater detail below). The Fund is actively managed by the Advisor, which combines top-down and bottom-up analysis in evaluating particular investments. The Advisor’s portfolio construction process takes into account risk-parity at the sector-level, meaning that the Advisor generally seeks to provide the Fund with similar risk contributions, across the major three natural resource sectors: (i) metals and mining, which includes precious and non-precious metals and minerals; (ii) energy, which includes traditional and renewable sources; and (iii) agriculture, which includes chemicals, timber, farming and related machinery. In selecting the Fund’s investments in natural resource companies, the Advisor researches countries, industries, sectors and companies to identify potential investment targets. The Advisor applies quantitative and qualitative analysis to a universe of U.S. and non-U.S. natural resource companies of any market capitalization, including those located in emerging market countries. Proprietary screening tools are used to identify quantitative characteristics such as return on capital, cash flows, and balance sheet strength. The Advisor conducts in-depth bottom-up analysis on those companies which meet the initial criteria. The Advisor analyzes financial statements, evaluates management and corporate governance structures and determines an outlook for a particular company or industry. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.
Natural Resources
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, which the Advisor defines as companies which are engaged in the business of holding natural resource assets or earning revenues which are derived from natural resources, or which otherwise form part of the value chain of natural resource industries, which includes the exploration, mining, extraction, production, processing, storage or transportation of natural resources or otherwise developing or providing goods and services that are related to natural resources, such as manufactures of equipment used for the foregoing. The Advisor considers natural resources to include precious metals (e.g., gold, platinum, palladium or silver), non- precious metals (e.g., copper, zinc or iron ore), minerals, traditional energy sources (e.g.,
80

oil, natural gas or coal), renewable energy sources (e.g., wind, solar, biomass, geothermal or hydroelectric), timber and forestry products, food and agricultural products (e.g., fertilizer), farm machinery and chemicals. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold at least 25% of its net assets) in securities of natural resource companies. The Fund may invest in securities of natural resource companies of any market capitalization.
Common Stock and Other Equity Securities
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock and other equity securities. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, ADRs, EDRs, GDRs, foreign stocks which may be denominated in foreign currencies and traded outside of the U.S., PIPEs, private placements and MLPs.
Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average total returns than fixed-income securities over the long term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in those returns and may under-perform relative to fixed-income securities during certain periods. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events which affect the issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which increases borrowing costs and the costs of capital.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Depositary Receipts
The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers, or sponsored and unsponsored depositary receipts for such securities. Depositary receipts may take the form of ADRs, GDRs, and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.
The non-U.S. companies in which the Fund invests may include those located in emerging markets. Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund is not limited in the extent to which it may invest in emerging market companies. See “Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk” below.
Debt Securities
The Fund may invest in the debt securities, including preferred securities and other fixed-income securities, including hybrid-preferred securities, corporate debt obligations and debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Such debt securities may include those that, at the time of investment, are rated below investment grade (below Baa3 or BBB-) by Moody’s, S&P, Fitch or an equivalent rating by an NRSRO or that are unrated but judged to be below investment grade by the Advisor at the time of purchase. Such securities are commonly known as “high yield bonds” or “junk bonds.” A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated
81

as such by one of Moody’s, S&P, Fitch or another NRSRO or, if unrated, are judged to be investment grade by the Advisor at the time of purchase. The rate of interest on a debt obligation may be fixed, floating or variable. The Fund may invest in debt securities without regard to their maturity or credit rating.
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally as to dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similarly stated yield characteristics. The market value of preferred stock will also generally reflect whether (and if so when) the issuer may force holders to sell their preferred shares back to the issuer and whether (and if so when) the holders may force the issuer to buy back their preferred shares. Generally, the right of the issuer to repurchase the preferred stock tends to reduce any premium that the preferred stock might otherwise trade at due to interest rate or credit factors, while the right of the holders to require the issuer to repurchase the preferred stock tends to reduce any discount that the preferred stock might otherwise trade at due to interest rate or credit factors. In addition, some preferred stocks are non-cumulative, meaning that the dividends do not accumulate and need not ever be paid. A portion of the Fund’s portfolio may include investments in non-cumulative preferred securities, whereby the issuer does not have an obligation to make up any arrearages to its shareholders. There is no assurance that dividends or distributions on non-cumulative preferred stocks in which the Fund invests will be declared or otherwise paid. Preferred stock of certain companies offers the opportunity for capital appreciation as well as periodic income. This may be particularly true in the case of companies that have performed below expectations. If a company’s performance has been poor enough, its preferred stock may trade more like common stock than like other fixed income securities, which may result in above average appreciation if the company’s performance improves.
Derivatives Transactions
The Fund may, but is not required to, enter into, without limit (subject to applicable law), various Derivatives Transactions described below to seek to generate return, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. Although the Advisor may seek to use these kinds of transactions to further the Fund’s investment objective, no assurance can be given that it will achieve this result. The Fund may enter into (buy or sell) exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on securities (including securities of investment companies and baskets of securities), indices, and other financial instruments; purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options thereon; enter into various interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, floors or collars or credit transactions; equity index, total return and credit default swaps; forward contracts; and structured investments. In addition, the Fund may enter into various currency transactions, such as forward currency contracts, currency futures contracts, currency swaps or options on currency or currency futures. The Fund also may purchase, sell or enter into derivative instruments that combine features of these instruments. The Fund may invest in other types of derivatives, structured and similar instruments which are not currently available, but which may be developed in the future. Collectively, all of the above are referred to as “Derivatives Transactions.”
82

In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.
Master Limited Partnerships
The natural resources companies in which the Fund may invest may include those organized as MLPs. MLPs are generally publicly traded entities that are organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies and receive partnership or C corporation taxation treatment under the Code. MLPs may derive income and gains from the exploration, development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation (including pipelines transporting gas, oil, or products thereof), or the marketing of any mineral or natural resource. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by one or more of the following: a major energy company, an investment fund, or the direct management of the MLP. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management.
Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including regulated investment company ETFs, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. ETFs and many closed-end funds trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Many ETFs hold a portfolio of common stocks or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes, but an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF.
The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies). As a stockholder in an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s or vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the fund’s or vehicle’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies or vehicles. In addition, the securities of other investment companies or pooled vehicles may be leveraged and will therefore be subject to leverage risks (in addition to other risks of the investment company’s or pooled vehicle’s strategy). The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs or listed closed-end funds.
Illiquid Securities
Illiquid investments are generally investments that a Fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not
83

be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and private placements.
Defensive Position
When the Advisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objective and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objective. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.
Investment Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (866)737-6370 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com in the “Funds” section under “Fund Literature,” generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period.
Each business day, the Fund also posts on its website an uncertified list of portfolio holdings as of the close of business on the prior business day. The Fund’s website also contains information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums/discounts, and bid-ask spreads, among other information.
Please see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risks of Investing in the Funds” for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Fund.
84


COHEN & STEERS SHORT DURATION PREFERRED AND INCOME ACTIVE ETF
The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return, consisting of high current income and capital appreciation. The Fund’s secondary investment objective is capital preservation. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. The Fund may change its investment objectives without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objectives.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund is an ETF that pursues its objectives primarily by investing in issues of preferred and other income securities, with a focus on short duration, investment grade, institutional preferred securities that offer the potential for tax-efficient income. The Advisor evaluates the fundamental characteristics of an issuer, including an issuer’s creditworthiness, and also takes into account prevailing market factors. In analyzing credit quality, the Advisor considers not only fundamental analysis, but also an issuer’s corporate and capital structure and the placement of the preferred or other income securities within that structure. The Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes. In assessing duration, the Advisor considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security’s yield, coupon payments (including the frequency of coupon resets, if applicable), price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a portfolio of preferred and other income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies, which may be either exchange-traded or OTC including:
traditional preferred securities;
hybrid-preferred securities that have investment and economic characteristics of both preferred stock and debt;
floating rate preferred securities;
corporate debt securities;
convertible securities;
CoCos; and
securities of other open-end funds, closed-end funds or ETFs that invest primarily in preferred or other income securities, as described herein.
85

These preferred and other income securities may be across a wide range of sectors and industries. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to this investment policy.
The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.
Preferred Securities
There are two basic types of preferred securities, traditional preferred securities and hybrid-preferred securities. Traditional preferred securities are perpetual and equity-like in nature. They may be issued by an entity taxable as a corporation and pay fixed or floating rate dividends. “Preference” means that a company must pay dividends on its preferred securities before paying any dividends on its common stock, and the claims of preferred securities holders are ahead of common stockholders’ claims on assets in a corporate liquidation or bankruptcy. However, these claims are subordinated to more senior creditors, including senior debt holders. Holders of preferred securities usually have no right to vote for corporate directors or on other matters. Preferred securities share many investment characteristics with both common stock and bonds; therefore, the risks and potential rewards of investing in the Fund may at times be similar to the risks of investing in both equity funds and bond funds.
Hybrid-preferred securities are debt instruments that have characteristics similar to those of traditional preferred securities. Hybrid preferred securities may be issued by corporations, generally in the form of interest-bearing notes with preferred securities characteristics, or by an affiliated trust or partnership of the corporation, generally in the form of preferred interests in subordinated debentures or similarly structured securities. The hybrid-preferred securities market consists of both fixed and adjustable coupon rate securities that are either perpetual in nature or have stated maturity dates. Hybrid preferred holders generally have claims to assets in a corporate liquidation that are senior to those of traditional preferred securities but subordinate to those of senior debt holders. Certain subordinated debt and senior debt issues that have preferred characteristics are also considered to be part of the broader preferred securities market.
The Fund intends to invest in both OTC and exchange-traded preferred securities. OTC issues are often referred to in the industry as “capital securities.”
Floating rate preferred securities provide for a periodic adjustment in the interest rate paid on the securities. The terms of such securities provide that interest rates are adjusted periodically based upon an interest rate adjustment index. The adjustment intervals may be regular, and range from daily up to annually, or may be event-based, such as a change in the short-term interest rate. Because of the interest rate reset feature, floating rate securities provide the Fund with a certain degree of protection against rising interest rates, although the interest rates of floating rate securities will participate in any declines in interest rates as well.
Debt Securities
Debt securities in which the Fund may invest include corporate debt securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. corporations and other business entities, including U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. corporations or other business entities, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of foreign issuers and debt obligations denominated in foreign currencies. Such debt
86

obligations include, among others, bonds, notes, debentures and variable rate demand notes, with the primary difference being their maturities and secured or unsecured status. Such corporate debt securities are fixed-income securities issued by businesses to finance their operations. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or variable rate of interest and normally must repay the amount borrowed on or before maturity.
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Depositary Receipts
The Fund expects to invest at least 40% of its assets in preferred and other income securities issued by companies organized or located outside the U.S. or doing a substantial amount of business outside of the U.S. The Fund considers a company that derives at least 50% of its revenue from business outside the U.S. or has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S. as doing a substantial amount of business outside the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in securities issued by companies domiciled in emerging market countries.
Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may be non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund intends typically to hedge currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.
Convertible Securities
Convertible securities are hybrid securities that combine the investment characteristics of bonds and common stocks. Convertible securities typically consist of debt or perpetual preferred securities that may be converted within a specified period of time into a certain amount of common stock or other equity security of the same or a different issuer at a predetermined price. In some cases, conversion may be mandatory. They also include debt securities with warrants or common stock attached and hybrid and synthetic securities combining the features of debt securities and equity securities. Convertible securities entitle the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt, or dividends paid or accrued on preferred stock, until the security matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged.
Contingent Capital Securities
Convertible securities also include CoCos. CoCos are debt or preferred securities with loss absorption characteristics that provide for an automatic write-down of the principal amount or value of securities or the mandatory conversion into common shares of the issuer under certain circumstances. A mandatory conversion might be automatically triggered, for instance, if a company fails to meet the capital minimum described in the security, the company’s regulator makes a determination that the security should convert, or the company receives specified levels of extraordinary public support. Since the common stock of the issuer may not pay a dividend, investors in these instruments could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, and conversion would deepen the subordination of the investor (worsening the Fund’s standing in a bankruptcy). In addition, some CoCos provide for an automatic write-down of capital (potentially to zero) under such circumstances.
87

Concentration in Utilities and Financials Sectors
In normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 25% of its assets in securities of issuers in the utilities and financials sectors, collectively. The financials sector is comprised of the bank, diversified financials, real estate (including REITs) and insurance industries. From time to time, the Fund may have 25% or more of its net assets invested in any one of these industries. The utilities sector is comprised of companies involved in the manufacturing, production, generation, transmission, distribution or sales of gas or electric energy, water supply, waste and sewage disposal; independent power and renewable electricity producers; and companies with public utility operations. In addition, the Fund may also focus its investments in other sectors or industries, such as (but not limited to) energy, industrials, pipelines, health care and telecommunications. The Advisor retains broad discretion to allocate the Fund’s investments across various sectors and industries.
Investment Grade and Below Investment Grade Securities
The Fund may invest in preferred and other income securities of any maturity or credit rating, including investment grade securities, below investment grade securities and unrated securities. Although not required to do so, the Fund will generally seek to invest at least 50% of its net assets in securities rated investment grade at the time of purchase and may invest up to 50% of its net assets in securities rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one NRSRO (for example minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s or S&P, respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor. Below investment grade quality securities are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. In evaluating unrated securities, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directions of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes.
Derivative and Hedging Transactions
The Fund is authorized to purchase, sell or enter into any derivative contract or option on a derivative contract, transaction or instrument including, without limitation (subject to applicable law), various interest rate transactions such as swaps, caps, floors or collars, and foreign currency transactions, such as foreign currency forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and other similar transactions in connection with its investments in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund may also enter into short sales. The Fund’s primary uses of derivative contracts will be to enter into interest rate hedging transactions in order to manage the interest rate risk inherent in the Fund’s investments, foreign currency hedging transactions in order to manage foreign currency exchange rate risks from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies (including to hedge against anticipated future changes which otherwise might adversely affect the prices of securities that the Fund intends to purchase at a later date) and total return swaps to manage credit risk. Derivative instruments, or “derivatives,” include instruments and contracts that are derived from and are valued in relation to one or more underlying interest rates, currencies, securities, financial benchmarks or indexes and include, without limitation, swap agreements (including total return swaps), futures contracts, forward contracts, options on futures or forward contracts, and listed or OTC put or call options on, or linked to the value of, any security, index or basket of securities, commodity or index or basket of commodities or other reference asset. Derivatives typically allow an investor to hedge or
88

speculate upon the price movements of a particular interest rate, currency, security, financial benchmark or index at a fraction of the cost of acquiring, borrowing or selling short the underlying asset. The value of a derivative depends largely upon price movements in the underlying asset.
In a total return swap, one party receives a periodic payment equal to the total return of a specified security, basket of securities, index, or other reference asset for a specified period of time. In return, the other party receives a fixed or variable stream of payments, typically based upon short-term interest rates, possibly plus or minus an agreed upon spread.
An interest rate swap involves the exchange of cash flows based on interest rate specifications and a specified principal amount, often a fixed payment for a floating payment that is linked to an interest rate. In an interest rate cap, one party receives payments at the end of each period in which a specified interest rate on a specified principal amount exceeds an agreed rate; conversely, in an interest rate floor one party may receive payments if a specified interest rate on a specified principal amount falls below an agreed rate. Interest rate collars involve selling a cap and purchasing a floor, or vice versa, to protect a fund against interest rate movements exceeding given minimum or maximum levels.
A foreign currency forward contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed price on a future date which is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers. A foreign currency futures contract is an exchange-traded contract for the purchase or sale of a specified foreign currency at a specified price at a future date. A foreign currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange principal and interest payments on a loan made in one currency for principal and interest payments of a loan of equal value in another currency. The Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency futures contract or foreign currency swap, or purchase a currency option, for example, when it enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency or expects to receive a dividend or interest payment on a portfolio holding, in order to “lock in” the U.S. dollar value of the security or payment. In addition, the Fund may enter into a foreign currency forward contract, futures contract or swap or purchase a currency option in respect of a currency which acts as a proxy for a currency in which the Fund’s portfolio holdings or anticipated holdings are denominated. This second investment practice is generally referred to as “cross-hedging.” The Fund may also conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange market.
The Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or character of the Fund’s distributions. To the extent any derivatives would be deemed to be illiquid, they will be included in the Fund’s maximum limitation of 15% of net assets invested in illiquid securities.
Rule 144A Securities
Certain securities in which the Fund may invest are Rule 144A Securities. Rule 144A Securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain QIBs.
Regulation S Securities
The Fund may invest in the securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers that are issued through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Offerings of Regulation S securities may be conducted outside of the United States. Because Regulation
89

S securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, Regulation S securities may be considered illiquid. If a Regulation S security is determined to be illiquid, the Fund’s maximum limitation of 15% of net assets invested in illiquid securities will apply.
In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.
Equity Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in common stocks, which represent residual ownership interest in issuers and include rights or warrants to purchase common stocks. Holders of common stocks are entitled to the income and increase in the value of the assets and business of the issuers after all debt obligations and obligations to preferred stockholders are satisfied. Common stocks generally have voting rights. Common stocks fluctuate in price in response to many factors including historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of the issuer’s assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. The value of equity securities purchased by the Fund could decline if the financial condition of the companies the Fund invests in declines or if overall market and economic conditions deteriorate. The value of such securities also may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or an increase in production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. In addition, their value may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a company or industry, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or generally adverse investor sentiment.
Government Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in government debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or a non-U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. Obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities include bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, as well as “stripped” or “zero coupon” U.S. Treasury obligations representing future interest or principal payments on U.S. Treasury notes or bonds. Stripped securities are sold at a discount to their “face value,” and may exhibit greater price volatility than interest-bearing securities because investors receive no payment until maturity. Other obligations of certain agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. The U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government-sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case, if the issuer were to default, the Fund might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government. The downgrade in the long-term U.S. credit rating by at least two major rating agencies has introduced greater uncertainty about the ability of the U.S. to repay its obligations. Further credit rating downgrade or a U.S. credit default may result in increased volatility or liquidity risk, higher interest rates and lower prices for U.S. government securities and increased costs for all kinds of debt. The value of the Funds’ shares may be adversely affected by rating agency downgrades of the U.S. government’s credit rating given that the Funds may invest in U.S. government securities.
90

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. Mortgage-related securities include mortgage pass-through securities, CMOs, CMBSs, mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals, SMBSs and other securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in or are secured by and payable from mortgage loans on real property. These securities may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its sponsored entities or may be issued by private organizations. One type of SMBS has two classes, with one class receiving all of the interest from the mortgage assets (the interest-only, or IO class), while the other class will receive the entire principal (the principal-only, or PO class). The yield to maturity on an IO class is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgage assets, and a rapid rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s yield to maturity from these securities.
Other asset-backed securities are structured like mortgage-backed securities, but instead of mortgage loans or interests in mortgage loans, the underlying assets may include such items as motor vehicle installment sales or installment loan contracts, leases of various types of real and personal property, and receivables from credit card agreements and from sales of personal property. Regular payments received in respect of such securities include both interest and principal. Asset-backed securities typically have no U.S. government backing. Additionally, the ability of an issuer of asset-backed securities to enforce its security interest in the underlying assets may be limited.
If the Fund purchases a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security at a premium, that portion may be lost if there is a decline in the market value of the security, whether resulting from changes in interest rates or from prepayments or defaults in the underlying collateral. As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are inversely affected by changes in interest rates. Although the value of a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not necessarily true, because in periods of declining interest rates the mortgages and loans underlying the securities are prone to prepayment, thereby shortening the average life of the security and shortening the period of time over which income at the higher rate is received.
When interest rates are rising, the rate of prepayment tends to decrease, thereby lengthening the period of time over which income at the lower rate is received. For these and other reasons, a mortgage-backed or other asset-backed security’s average maturity may be shortened or lengthened as a result of interest rate fluctuations and, therefore, it is not possible to predict accurately the security’s return.
The market for mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities has in the past experienced high volatility and a lack of liquidity. As a result, the value of many of these securities has significantly declined. There can be no assurance that these markets will become more liquid or less volatile, and it is possible that the value of these securities could decline further.
Municipal Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in municipal securities, which includes debt obligations of states, territories or possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities. Municipal securities are issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including the construction of a wide range of public facilities such as airports, bridges,
91

highways, housing, hospitals, mass transportation, schools, streets and water and sewer works. Other public purposes for which municipal securities may be issued include the refunding of outstanding obligations, obtaining funds for general operating expenses and lending such funds to other public institutions and facilities.
The two major classifications of municipal securities are bonds and notes. Bonds may be further classified as “general obligation” or “revenue” issues. General obligation bonds are secured by the issuer’s pledge of its full faith, credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. Revenue bonds are payable from the revenues derived from a particular facility or class of facilities, and in some cases, from the proceeds of a special excise or other specific revenue source, but not from the general taxing power. Most notes are general obligations of the issuing municipalities or agencies and are sold in anticipation of a bond sale, collection of taxes or receipt of other revenues. There are, of course, variations in the risks associated with municipal securities, both within a particular classification and between classifications. Although issued by governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, municipal securities are subject to default risk. The Fund does not anticipate meeting the requirements under the Code to pass through income from municipal securities as tax free to shareholders.
Investments in municipal securities may be affected significantly by economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of an issuer to pay interest or repay principal. Certain issuers have experienced serious financial difficulties in the past and a reoccurrence of these difficulties may impair the ability of certain issuers to pay principal or interest on their obligations.
Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including ETFs, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. ETFs and many closed-end funds trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Many ETFs hold a portfolio of common stocks or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes, but an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF.
The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies). As a stockholder in an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s or vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the fund’s or vehicle’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies or vehicles. In addition, the securities of other investment companies or pooled vehicles may be leveraged and will therefore be subject to leverage risks (in addition to other risks of the investment company’s or pooled vehicle’s strategy). The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs or listed closed-end funds.
Illiquid Securities
Illiquid investments are generally investments that a Fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more
92

than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and private placements.
Defensive Position
When the Advisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objectives and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objectives. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.
Investment Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (866)737-6370 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com in the “Funds” section under “Fund Literature,” generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period.
Each business day, the Fund also posts on its website an uncertified list of portfolio holdings as of the close of business on the prior business day. The Fund’s website also contains information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums/discounts, and bid-ask spreads, among other information.
Please see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risks of Investing in the Funds” for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Fund.

COHEN & STEERS INFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITIES ACTIVE ETF
The investment objective of the Fund is total return. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund seeks both capital appreciation and current income. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund may change its investment objective without shareholder approval, although it has no current intention to do so. Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to the Fund’s investment objective.
The Fund is an ETF that pursues its objective by investing in a high conviction portfolio of global common stocks and other equity securities issued by infrastructure companies. The Fund is actively managed, and the Advisor and the Fund’s Subadvisors rely on a fundamental analysis of each company. Securities are evaluated for their potential to provide an attractive total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Advisor and Subadvisors review each company’s potential for success in light of general economic and industry trends, as well as the company’s quality of management, financial condition, business plan, industry and sector market position and dividend payout ratio. The Advisor and Subadvisors utilize a value-oriented approach, and evaluate each company’s valuation on the basis of relative price/cash flow and price/earnings multiples, earnings growth rate, dividend yield, and price/book value, among other metrics. Under normal market conditions, the Fund intends to hold a small number of securities. The Fund will not seek to achieve specific ESG outcomes through its portfolio of investments, nor will it pursue an overall impact or sustainable investment strategy. However, the Advisor may incorporate consideration of relevant ESG factors into its investment decision-making.
The Fund has adopted a fundamental policy (which cannot be changed without shareholder approval) whereby the Fund may not invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any one industry, except that the Fund will, under normal circumstances, invest at least 25% of its net assets in securities of infrastructure companies, provided that this limitation shall exclude securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
The following are the Fund’s principal investment strategies. A more detailed description of the Fund’s investment policies and restrictions and more detailed information about the Fund’s investments are contained in the Fund’s SAI.
Infrastructure Companies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. and non-U.S. common stocks and other equity securities issued by infrastructure companies, which consist of companies involved in utilities, transportation, energy, communications and other infrastructure companies that provide infrastructure related goods and services, including suppliers and facilitators, which may include digital, social and infrastructure development companies.
These equity securities can consist of:
Common stocks;
94

Rights or warrants to purchase common stocks;
Securities convertible into common stocks where the conversion feature represents in the Advisor’s or a Subadvisor’s view, a significant element of the securities’ value;
Preferred stocks;
Equity units;
IPOs of equity securities; and
PIPEs.
Infrastructure companies are companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from, or have at least 50% of their assets committed to, the management, ownership, operation, construction, development, servicing or financing of assets used in connection with: the generation, production, transmission transportation, storage, sale or distribution of electric energy, natural gas, natural gas liquids (including propane), crude oil, refined petroleum products, coal or other energy sources including nuclear and renewables; the distribution, purification and treatment of water and waste management and remediation; provision of communications services, including cable television, internet, wireless voice, data services, video services, satellite, microwave, radio, telephone data centers, cellular networks, fiber optics and cabling and other communications media; or the provision of transportation services, including toll roads, airports, railroads or marine ports; social infrastructure involved in essential services such as healthcare, education and civic systems, facilities and services; and companies involved in the construction, engineering and production of materials. Infrastructure companies also include companies organized as MLPs and their affiliates.
Shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any change to this investment policy.
Common Stock and Other Equity Securities
The Fund will invest primarily in common stock and other equity securities. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, ADRs, EDRs, GDRs, foreign stocks which may be denominated in foreign currencies and traded outside of the U.S., PIPEs, private placements and MLPs.
Common stock generally represents an equity ownership interest in an issuer. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average total returns than fixed-income securities over the long term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in those returns and may under-perform relative to fixed-income securities during certain periods. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by the Fund. Also, prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in the stock market and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks to which the Fund has exposure. Common stock prices fluctuate for several reasons including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events which affect the issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which increases borrowing costs and the costs of capital.
95

Foreign (Non-U.S.) Securities and Depositary Receipts
The Fund may invest without limit in securities of non-U.S. companies. The Fund will invest substantially in companies in developed countries, but may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of companies domiciled in emerging market countries.
Typically, emerging markets are in countries that are in the process of industrialization, with lower gross national products per capita than more developed countries. The Fund’s investments in securities of non-U.S. companies may be non-U.S. dollar denominated. The Fund intends typically to hedge currency exposure back to the U.S. dollar.
The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies in the form of ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. Generally, ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets, which represent and may be converted into an underlying foreign security. GDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use outside the United States. EDRs, in bearer form, are designed for use in the European securities markets. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in both developed and emerging markets.
Master Limited Partnerships
The Fund may invest in energy-related companies organized as MLPs and their affiliates. MLPs are generally publicly traded entities that are organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies and receive partnership or C corporation taxation treatment under the Code. MLPs may derive income and gains from the exploration, development, mining or production, processing, refining, transportation (including pipelines transporting gas, oil, or products thereof), or the marketing of any mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by one or more of the following: a major energy company, an investment fund, or the direct management of the MLP. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management.
Real Estate Investment Trusts
The Fund may invest in REITs. REITs are companies that own interests in real estate or in real estate related loans or other interests, and their revenue primarily consists of rent derived from owned, income producing real estate properties and capital gains from the sale of such properties. A REIT in the U.S. is generally not taxed on income distributed to shareholders so long as it meets certain tax related requirements, including the requirement that it distribute substantially all of its taxable income to such shareholders (other than net capital gains for each taxable year) (other than net capital gains for each taxable year). As a result, U.S. REITs tend to pay relatively higher dividends than other types of companies. Dividends paid by U.S. REITs generally will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and are generally not considered QDI eligible for reduced rates of taxation for U.S. federal income tax purposes but may be considered to be “qualified REIT dividends” eligible for a 20% deduction for non-corporate taxpayers. Until the end of 2025, “Qualified REIT dividends” are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. Qualified REIT dividends are dividends received from REITs that are neither capital gain dividends nor are eligible for treatment as QDI, and
96

with respect to which the REIT shareholder meets certain other requirements. The Fund is permitted to pass through qualified REIT dividends to its shareholders, provided the shareholders meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to their shares. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI.
REITs can generally be classified as equity REITs or mortgage REITs. Equity REITs, which invest the majority of their assets directly in real property, derive their income primarily from rents. Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling properties that have appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs, which invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages, derive their income primarily from interest payments.
Below Investment Grade Securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below investment grade securities. A security will be considered to be investment grade if it is rated as such by one nationally recognized statistical rating organization (for example, minimum Baa3 or BBB- by Moody’s or S&P, respectively) or, if unrated, is judged to be investment grade by the Advisor or a Subadvisor. Below investment grade quality securities, or securities that are unrated but judged to be below investment grade by the Advisor, are commonly referred to as “high yield” or “junk” securities and are regarded as having more speculative characteristics with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal. In evaluating unrated securities, the Advisor also takes into account call, conversion and other structural security features, in addition to such factors as the likely directors of credit ratings and relative value versus other income security classes.
Preferred Stock
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in preferred securities and other fixed-income securities, including preferred stock, hybrid-preferred securities, corporate debt obligations and debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.
Preferred stock has a preference over common stock in liquidation (and generally as to dividends as well) but is subordinated to the liabilities of the issuer in all respects. As a general rule, the market value of preferred stock with a fixed dividend rate and no conversion element varies inversely with interest rates and perceived credit risk, while the market price of convertible preferred stock generally also reflects some element of conversion value. Because preferred stock is junior to debt securities and other obligations of the issuer, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer will cause greater changes in the value of a preferred stock than in a more senior debt security with similarly stated yield characteristics. The market value of preferred stock will also generally reflect whether (and if so when) the issuer may force holders to sell their preferred shares back to the issuer and whether (and if so when) the holders may force the issuer to buy back their preferred shares. Generally, the right of the issuer to repurchase the preferred stock tends to reduce any premium that the preferred stock might otherwise trade at due to interest rate or credit factors, while the right of the holders to require the issuer to repurchase the preferred stock tends to reduce any discount that the preferred stock might otherwise trade at due to interest rate or credit factors. In addition, some preferred stocks are non-cumulative, meaning that the dividends do not accumulate and need not ever be paid. A portion of the Fund’s portfolio may include investments in non-cumulative preferred securities, whereby the issuer does not have an obligation to make up any arrearages to its shareholders. There is no assurance that dividends or distributions on non-cumulative preferred stocks in which the Fund invests will be
97

declared or otherwise paid. Preferred stock of certain companies offers the opportunity for capital appreciation as well as periodic income. This may be particularly true in the case of companies that have performed below expectations. If a company’s performance has been poor enough, its preferred stock may trade more like common stock than like other fixed income securities, which may result in above average appreciation if the company’s performance improves.
Derivatives Transactions
The Fund may, but is not required to, enter into, without limit (subject to applicable law), various Derivatives Transactions described below to seek to generate return, facilitate portfolio management and mitigate risks. Although the Advisor may seek to use these kinds of transactions to further the Fund’s investment objective, no assurance can be given that it will achieve this result. The Fund may enter into (buy or sell) exchange-listed and OTC put and call options on securities (including securities of investment companies and baskets of securities), indices, and other financial instruments; purchase and sell financial futures contracts and options thereon; enter into various interest rate transactions, such as swaps, caps, floors or collars or credit transactions; equity index, total return and credit default swaps; forward contracts; and structured investments. In addition, the Fund may enter into various currency transactions, such as forward currency contracts, currency futures contracts, currency swaps or options on currency or currency futures. The Fund also may purchase, sell or enter into derivative instruments that combine features of these instruments. The Fund may invest in other types of derivatives, structured and similar instruments which are not currently available, but which may be developed in the future. Collectively, all of the above are referred to as “Derivatives Transactions.”
In addition to the principal investment strategies described above, the Fund has other investment practices that are described here and in the SAI. These investment practices may subject the Fund to additional risks. Please review this section and the SAI for more information about the additional investment practices and their associated risks.
Other Investment Companies
The Fund may invest in securities of other open- or closed-end investment companies, including ETFs, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. ETFs and many closed-end funds trade on a securities exchange and their shares may, at times, trade at a premium or discount to their NAV. Many ETFs hold a portfolio of common stocks or bonds designed to track the performance of a securities index, including industry, sector, country and region indexes, but an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF.
The Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in pooled investment vehicles (other than investment companies). As a stockholder in an investment company or other pooled vehicle, the Fund will bear its ratable share of that investment company’s or vehicle’s expenses, and would remain subject to payment of the fund’s or vehicle’s advisory and administrative fees with respect to assets so invested. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment companies or vehicles. In addition, the securities of other investment companies or pooled vehicles may be leveraged and will therefore be subject to leverage risks (in addition to other risks of the investment company’s or pooled vehicle’s strategy). The Fund will also incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs or listed closed-end funds.
98

Illiquid Securities
Illiquid investments are generally investments that a Fund cannot reasonably expect to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven (7) calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the instrument. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Restricted securities, which are securities that may not be resold to the public without an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or, if they are unregistered, may be sold only in a privately negotiated transaction or pursuant to an exemption from registration, may be illiquid. Such investments may include private investments in public equity and private placements.
Defensive Position
When the Advisor or a Subadvisor believes that market or general economic conditions justify a temporary defensive position, the Fund may deviate from its investment objectives and invest all or any portion of its assets in short-term debt instruments, government securities, cash or cash equivalents. When and to the extent the Fund assumes a temporary defensive position, it may not pursue or achieve its investment objectives. In addition, the Fund may be required to hold more cash than anticipated to support its derivative positions, which could have a negative impact on returns.
Investment Restrictions
Except as otherwise stated, all percentage restrictions referenced in this Prospectus or the SAI are measured at the time of investment. If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from market movements will not be considered a violation of the restriction.
Portfolio Holdings
A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s SAI. The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year as an exhibit to its reports on Form N-PORT, which is available to the public 60 days after the end of the quarter. The Fund’s Form N-PORT is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling (866)737-6370 or (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s full portfolio holdings are published semi-annually in reports filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR and such reports are made available at www.cohenandsteers.com in the “Funds” section under “Fund Literature,” generally within 70 days after the end of each semi-annual period.
Each business day, the Fund also posts on its website an uncertified list of portfolio holdings as of the close of business on the prior business day. The Fund’s website also contains information on the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums/discounts, and bid-ask spreads, among other information.
Please see the section of this Prospectus entitled “Risks of Investing in the Funds” for more information regarding the risks of investing in the Fund.
This section contains a discussion of the general risks of investing in each of the Cohen & Steers Real Estate Active ETF (the “Real Estate ETF”), Cohen & Steers Preferred and Income Opportunities Active
99

ETF (the “Preferred and Income Opportunities ETF”), Cohen & Steers Natural Resources Active ETF (the “Natural Resources ETF”), Cohen & Steers Short Duration Preferred and Income Active ETF (the “Short Duration ETF”) and Cohen & Steers Infrastructure Opportunities Active ETF (the “Infrastructure Opportunities ETF”). The principal risks of each Fund are discussed in the relevant summary section of this Prospectus. The following section provides additional information on the risks that apply to a Fund, which may result in a loss of your investment. The risks applicable to the Funds are presented below in alphabetical order, and not in the order of importance or potential exposure. As with any fund, there can be no guarantee that a Fund will meet its investment objective or that a Fund’s performance will be positive for any period of time. An investment in a Fund is not a deposit in any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or by any bank or governmental agency.

Active Management Risk
As an actively managed portfolio, the value of the Fund’s investments could decline because the financial condition of an issuer may change (due to such factors as management performance, reduced demand or overall market changes), financial markets may fluctuate or overall prices may decline, or the Advisor’s or, if applicable, a Subadvisor’s, investment techniques could fail to achieve the Fund’s investment objective or negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Agriculture Companies Risk
Economic forces, including forces affecting agricultural markets, such as energy and labor costs, commodity prices and financial markets, as well as government policies and regulations affecting agriculture companies, could adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments. Agricultural and livestock production and trade flows are significantly affected by government policies and regulations. Governmental policies affecting agriculture companies, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies and
101

import and export restrictions on agricultural equipment, commodities, commodity products and livestock, can influence agriculture company profitability, the decision to plant or raise certain crops or livestock as opposed to others, the location and size of crop and livestock production, whether unprocessed or processed commodity products are traded and the volume and types of imports and exports. In addition, agriculture companies must comply with a broad range of environmental, food safety, worker safety and health laws and regulations. Additional or more stringent laws and regulations may be enacted in the future which could have a material adverse effect on the profitability of such companies. In addition, agriculture companies may be significantly affected by climate changes, adverse weather, natural disasters, pollution and disease, which could reduce or halt production.
Authorized Participant Concentration Risk
Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants, none of which are or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these institutions exit the business or are unable or unwilling to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able or willing to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. Additionally, the Fund could possibly face trading halts and/or delisting from the Exchange. This risk is heightened in times of market stress, including at both the Fund share level and at the Fund holdings level.
Below Investment Grade Securities Risk
Below investment grade securities, or equivalent unrated securities, generally involve greater volatility of price and risk of loss of income and principal, and may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than higher grade securities. It is reasonable to expect that any adverse economic condition could disrupt the market for below investment grade securities, have an adverse impact on the value of those securities and adversely affect the ability of the issuers of those securities to repay principal and interest on those securities.
Cash Transactions Risk
The Fund intends to typically transact many of its creation and redemption orders for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any such sales by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that satisfies redemptions entirely or primarily in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effected in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements for qualification as a RIC. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its
102

shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund’s use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Common Stock Risk
Common stocks are subject to special risks. Although common stocks have historically generated higher average returns than fixed-income securities over the long-term, common stocks also have experienced significantly more volatility in returns. Common stocks may be more susceptible to adverse changes in market value due to issuer specific events or general movements in the equities markets. A drop in the stock market may depress the price of common stocks held by the Fund. Common stock prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes to investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or economic events affecting issuers. For example, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of common stock in which the Fund has invested; the price of common stock of an issuer may be particularly sensitive to general movements in the stock market; or a drop in the stock market may depress the price of most or all of the common stocks held by the Fund. Also, common stock of an issuer in the Fund’s portfolio may decline in price if the issuer fails to make anticipated dividend payments because, among other reasons, the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial condition. The common stocks in which the Fund will invest are typically subordinated to preferred securities, bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and assets, and, therefore, will be subject to greater risk than the preferred securities or debt instruments of such issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be sensitive to rising interest rates as the costs of capital rise and borrowing costs increase.
Concentration Risk
Because under normal market conditions Short Duration ETF will invest at least 25% of its assets in securities of issuers in the utilities and financials sectors, collectively, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting each of these sectors.
Financials Sector
With respect to the financials sector, these include changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition, than a fund that does not concentrate its investments in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including:
Banking Industry Risk. Banks depend upon being able to obtain funds at reasonable costs and upon liquidity in the capital and credit markets to finance their lending and other operations which makes banks sensitive to changes in money market and general economic conditions. When a bank’s borrowers have financial trouble, their failure to repay the bank will adversely affect the bank’s financial situation. Banks are also highly regulated. Decisions by regulators may limit the loans banks make and the interest rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank profitability.
Real Estate Industry Risk. Investments in real estate are closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents
103

resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs.
Insurance Industry Risk. The insurance industry is subject to extensive government regulation and can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, price and market competition, the imposition of premium rate caps or other changes in government regulation or tax law. Certain segments of the insurance industry can be significantly affected by mortality and morbidity rates, environmental clean-up costs and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist acts.
Utilities Sector
Companies in the utilities sector may be affected by general economic conditions, supply and demand, financing and operating costs, rate caps, interest rates, liabilities arising from governmental or civil actions, consumer confidence and spending, competition, technological progress, energy prices, resource conservation and depletion, human-made or natural disasters, geopolitical events, and environmental and other government regulations. The value of securities issued by companies in the utilities sector may be negatively impacted by variations in exchange rates, domestic and international competition, energy conservation, and governmental limitations on rates charged to customers. Although rate changes of a regulated utility usually vary in approximate correlation with financing costs, due to political and regulatory factors rate changes usually happen only after a delay after the changes in financing costs. Deregulation may subject utility companies to increased competition and can negatively affect their profitability as it permits utility companies to diversify outside of their original geographic regions and customary lines of business, causing them to engage in more uncertain ventures. Deregulation can also eliminate restrictions on the profits of certain utility companies, but can simultaneously expose these companies to an increased risk of loss. Current and future regulations or legislation can make it more difficult for utility companies to operate profitably.
Contingent Capital Securities Risk
CoCos may be subject to an automatic write-down (i.e., the automatic write-down of the principal amount or value of the securities, potentially to zero, and the cancellation of the securities) under certain circumstances, which could result in the Fund losing a portion or all of its investment in such securities. In addition, the Fund may not have any rights with respect to repayment of the principal amount of the securities that has not become due or the payment of interest or dividends on such securities for any period from (and including) the interest or dividend payment date falling immediately prior to the occurrence of such automatic write-down. An automatic write-down could also result in a reduced income rate if the dividend or interest payment is based on the security’s par value. If a CoCo provides for mandatory conversion of the security into common shares of the issuer under certain circumstances and such conversion event occurs, the Fund could experience a reduced income rate, potentially to zero, as a result of the issuer’s common shares not paying a dividend. In addition, a conversion event would likely be the result of or related to the deterioration of the issuer’s financial condition (e.g., such as a decrease in the issuer’s capital ratio) and status as a going concern, so the market price of the issuer’s common shares received by the Fund may have declined, perhaps substantially, and may continue to decline, which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV. Further, the
104

issuer’s common shares would be subordinate to the issuer’s other security classes and therefore worsen the Fund’s standing in a bankruptcy proceeding. In March 2023, a Swiss regulator required a write-down of outstanding CoCos to zero notwithstanding the fact that the issuer’s equity shares continued to exist and have economic value. It is currently unclear whether regulators of issuers in other jurisdictions will take similar actions. It will often be difficult to predict when, if at all, an automatic write-down or conversion event will occur. Accordingly, the trading behavior of CoCos may not follow the trading behavior of other types of debt and preferred securities. Any indication that an automatic write-down or conversion event may occur can be expected to have a material adverse effect on the market price of the CoCos. CoCos are a relatively new form of security and the full effects of an automatic write-down or conversion event have not been experienced broadly in the marketplace. The occurrence of an automatic write-down or conversion event may be unpredictable and the potential effects of such event on the Fund’s yield, NAV and/or market price may be adverse. Finally, CoCo issuers can, at their discretion, suspend dividend distributions on their CoCo securities and are more likely to do so in response to negative economic conditions and/or government regulation. Omitted distributions are typically non-cumulative and will not be paid on a future date. Any omitted distribution may negatively impact the returns or distribution rate of the Fund.
Cyber Security Risk
With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and AI Technologies, and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, the Fund and its service providers (including the Advisor and, if applicable, Subadvisors), and their own service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website or company system, misappropriating or releasing confidential information without authorization (including personal data), gaining unauthorized access to digital systems for purposes of misappropriating assets and causing operational disruption. Cyber-attacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as causing denial-of-service. New ways to carry out cyber-attacks continue to develop. There may be an increased risk of cyber-attacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflict, and geopolitical tensions may increase the scale and sophistication of deliberate cyber security attacks, particularly those from nation-states or from entities with nation-state backing. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Advisor, a Subadvisor (if applicable), or a custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Each of the Fund and the Advisor and, if applicable, the Subadvisors may have limited ability to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber-attacks or security or technology breakdowns affecting the Fund’s third-party service providers. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and systems designed to detect, prevent or reduce the impact of cyber-attacks, such plans and systems are subject to inherent limitations.
Debt Securities Risk
There are special risks associated with investing in debt securities, including:
Credit/Counterparty Risk. Credit/counterparty risk refers to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security will not be able or willing to make payments of interest and principal when
105

due because the issuer or guarantor of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. 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.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that debt securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall, and therefore the Fund may underperform during periods of rising interest rates. Interest rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy (or expectations that domestic or global economic policies will change). Debt securities with longer periods before maturity may be more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Prepayment and Extension Risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that changes in interest rates, credit spreads or other factors will result in the call (repayment) of a debt security more quickly than expected, such that the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, or that expectations of such early call will negatively impact the market price of the security. Extension risk is the risk that changes in the interest rates or credit spreads may result in diminishing call expectations, which can cause prices to fall.
Call Risk. Call risk 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.
Liquidity Risk. Certain debt securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities. Illiquid securities involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired by the Fund or at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is carrying the securities on its books. During periods of high volatility, the Fund may experience increased redemptions, requiring it to liquidate securities when it is difficult to do so.
Convertible Securities Risk. The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the issuer’s creditworthiness. Because it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risk as apply to the underlying common stock.
Derivatives and Hedging Transactions Risk
Many of the risks applicable to trading the underlying asset are also applicable to derivatives trading. However, there are a number of additional risks associated with derivatives trading. Transactions in certain derivatives are subject to clearance on a U.S. national exchange and to regulatory oversight, while other derivatives are subject to risks of trading in the OTC markets or on non-U.S. exchanges.
Additional risks associated with derivatives trading include:
Counterparty Risk. Because some of the derivative transactions in which the Fund may engage may involve instruments that are not traded on an exchange but are instead traded between counterparties based on contractual relationships, the Fund is subject to increased risk that a
106

counterparty will not perform its obligations under the related contracts. Although the Fund intends to enter into transactions only with counterparties which the Advisor and, if applicable, the Subadvisors, believe to be creditworthy, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will not default and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result. This risk will be heightened to the extent the Fund enters into derivative transactions with a single counterparty (or affiliated counterparties that are part of the same organization), causing the Fund to have significant exposure to such counterparty. For centrally cleared derivatives, such as cleared swaps, futures and many options, the primary credit/counterparty risk is the creditworthiness of the Fund’s clearing broker and the central clearing house itself.
Some types of cleared derivatives are required to be (or are capable of being) executed on an exchange or on a swap execution facility. A swap execution facility is a trading platform where multiple market participants can execute derivatives by accepting bids and offers made by multiple other participants in the platform. While trading on a swap execution facility can increase transparency and liquidity in the cleared derivatives market, trading on a swap execution facility can create additional costs and risks for the Fund.
In the event of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency, the Fund’s collateral may be subject to the conflicting claims of the counterparty’s creditors, and the Fund may be exposed to the risk of the Fund being treated as a general unsecured creditor of the counterparty, rather than as the owner of the collateral.
The Fund is subject to the risk that the counterparties to its derivative transactions may default on their obligations under those instruments, and that certain events may occur that have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of those instruments. There can be no assurance that a counterparty to the Fund’s derivative transactions will not default, or that an event that has an immediate and significant adverse effect on the value of an instrument will not occur, and that the Fund will not sustain a loss on a transaction as a result.
Liquidity Risk. Derivative instruments, especially when traded in large amounts, may not be liquid in all circumstances, so that in volatile markets the Fund may not be able to close out a position without incurring a loss. In addition, daily limits on price fluctuations and speculative position limits on exchanges on which the Fund may conduct its transactions in derivative instruments may prevent profitable liquidation of positions, subjecting the Fund to the potential of greater losses.
Financial Leverage Risk. Trading in derivative instruments can result in large amounts of financial leverage. Thus, the leverage offered by trading in derivative instruments will magnify the gains and losses experienced by the Fund and could cause the value of the Fund’s net assets to be subject to wider fluctuations than would be the case if the Fund did not use the leverage feature of derivative instruments.
Over-the-Counter Trading Risk. Derivative instruments, such as swap agreements, that may be purchase or sold by the Fund may include instruments not traded on an exchange. The risk of nonperformance by the counterparty to an instrument may be greater than, and the ease with which the Fund can dispose of or enter into closing transactions with respect to an instrument may be less than, the risk associated with an exchange traded instrument. In addition, significant disparities may exist between “bid” and “ask” prices for derivative instruments that are not traded
107

on an exchange. Derivative instruments not traded on exchanges also are not subject to the same type of government regulation as exchange traded instruments, and many of the protections afforded to participants in a regulated environment may not be available in connection with the transactions.
Tracking Risk. The value of the derivatives that the Fund uses to gain exposure to an underlying instrument, such as a commodity, may not correlate to the values of the underlying instrument. When used for hedging purposes, an imperfect or variable degree of correlation between price or rate movements of the derivative instrument and the underlying investment sought to be hedged may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended hedging effect or expose the Fund to risk of loss.
Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act requires that, among other things, the Fund limit its use of derivatives to maintain its status as a “limited derivatives user.” If the Fund were not able to maintain such status, it would be required to apply a value-at-risk based limit to its use of derivative instruments and financing transactions, comply with other requirements, and adopt and implement a derivatives risk management program. Rule 18f-4 may curtail the Fund’s ability to use derivative instruments as part of the Fund’s investment strategy and could ultimately prevent the Fund from being able to achieve its investment goals.
Duration Risk
Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate (or yield) changes than securities with shorter durations. For example, the value of a portfolio of fixed income securities with an average duration of three years would generally be expected to decline by approximately 3% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. Duration differs from maturity in that it considers potential changes to interest rates, and a security’s coupon payments, yield, price and par value and call features, in addition to the amount of time until the security matures. Various techniques may be used to shorten or lengthen the Fund’s duration. The duration of a security will be expected to change over time with changes in market factors and time to maturity.
Energy Companies Risk
Issuers in energy-related industries can be significantly affected by fluctuations in energy prices and supply and demand of energy sources. Markets for various energy-related commodities can have significant volatility and are subject to control or manipulation by large producers or purchasers. Companies in the energy sector may need to make substantial expenditures, and to incur significant amounts of debt, in order to maintain or expand their reserves. Energy exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters as well as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events and economic conditions. Energy-related companies may be at risk of environmental damage claims.
Financials Sector Concentration Risk
Because the Fund invests at least 25% of its net assets in the financials sector, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector, such as changes in interest rates, loan concentration and competition, than a fund that does not concentrate its investments in the financials sector. In addition, the Fund will also be subject to the risks of investing in the individual industries and securities that comprise the financials sector, including:
Banking Industry Risk. Banks depend upon being able to obtain funds at reasonable costs and upon liquidity in the capital and credit markets to finance their lending and other operations which
108

makes banks sensitive to changes in money market and general economic conditions. When a bank’s borrowers have financial trouble, their failure to repay the bank will adversely affect the bank’s financial situation. Banks are also highly regulated. Decisions by regulators may limit the loans banks make and the interest rates and fees they charge, and may reduce bank profitability.
Real Estate Industry Risk. Investments in real estate are closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological developments. Real estate company prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to pay their loans and poor management, and residential developers, in particular, could be negatively impacted by falling home prices, slower mortgage origination and rising construction costs.
Insurance Industry Risk. The insurance industry is subject to extensive government regulation and can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, general economic conditions, price and market competition, the imposition of premium rate caps or other changes in government regulation or tax law. Certain segments of the insurance industry can be significantly affected by mortality and morbidity rates, environmental clean-up costs and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, hurricanes and terrorist acts.
Foreign Currency and Currency Hedging Risk
Although the Fund will report its NAV and pay dividends in U.S. dollars, foreign securities often are purchased with and make any dividend and interest payments in foreign currencies. Therefore, the Fund’s investments in foreign securities will be subject to foreign currency risk, which means that the Fund’s NAV could decline solely as a result of changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. In particular, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has weakened a number of Euro-area currencies and increased volatility of currencies in general. Certain foreign countries may impose restrictions on the ability of issuers of foreign securities to make payment of principal, dividends and interest to investors located outside the country, due to blockage of foreign currency exchanges or otherwise.
The Fund may, but is not required to, engage in various investments that are designed to hedge the Fund’s foreign currency risks, including foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency futures contracts, put and call options on foreign currencies and foreign currency swaps. Such transactions may reduce returns or increase volatility, perhaps substantially. 
Foreign currency forward contracts, OTC options on foreign currencies and foreign currency swaps are subject to the risk of default by the counterparty and can be illiquid. These currency hedging transactions, as well as the futures contracts and exchange-listed options in which the Fund may invest, are subject to many of the risks of, and can be highly sensitive to changes in the value of, the related currency or other reference asset. As such, a small investment could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Whether or not the Fund engages in currency hedging transactions, the Fund may experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities, in U.S. dollar terms, due solely to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Use of currency hedging transactions may cause the Fund to experience losses greater than if the Fund had not engaged in such transactions.
The Fund’s transactions in foreign currencies may increase or accelerate the Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or character of the Fund’s distributions.
109

Foreign (Non-U.S.) and Emerging Market Securities Risk
Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not involved in domestic investments, including, but not limited to:
foreign economic, financial, political and social developments, such as, international wars or conflicts, instability in regions such as Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, terrorism, natural disasters and public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics);
different legal systems;
the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions;
less governmental supervision;
regulation changes;
less publicly available information about foreign companies due to less rigorous disclosure and accounting standards or regulatory practices;
high and volatile rates of inflation;
foreign currency devaluation;
fluctuating interest rates; and
different accounting, auditing and financial record-keeping standards and requirements.
Investments in foreign securities, especially in emerging market countries, will expose the Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social or economic changes in the countries that issue the securities or in which the issuers are located. Political developments in foreign countries or the United States may at times subject such countries to sanctions from the U.S. government, foreign governments and/or international institutions that could negatively affect the Fund’s investments in issuers located in, doing business in or with assets in such countries. Certain countries in which the Fund may invest, especially emerging market countries, have historically experienced, and may continue to experience, high rates of inflation, high interest rates, exchange rate fluctuations, large amounts of external debt, balance of payments and trade difficulties and extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of these countries are also characterized by political uncertainty and instability. The cost of servicing external debt will generally be adversely affected by rising international interest rates because many external debt obligations bear interest at rates which are adjusted based upon international interest rates. In addition, with respect to certain foreign countries, there is a risk of:
the possibility of expropriation of assets;
confiscatory taxation;
difficulty in obtaining or enforcing a court judgment;
economic, political or social instability; and
diplomatic developments that could affect investments in those countries.
In addition, individual foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as:
growth of gross domestic product;
110

rates of inflation;
capital reinvestment;
resources;
self-sufficiency; and
balance of payments position.
To the extent the Fund’s investments are focused in a geographic region or country, the Fund will be subject, to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were less geographically focused, to the risks of adverse changes in that region or country. In addition, certain investments in foreign securities also may be subject to foreign withholding or other taxes, which would reduce the Fund’s return on those securities.
Securities of companies in emerging markets may be more volatile than those of companies in more developed markets. Emerging market countries generally have less developed markets and economies and, in some countries, less mature governments and governmental institutions. Investing in securities of companies in emerging markets may entail special risks relating to potential economic, political or social instability and the risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscation, trade sanctions or embargoes or the imposition of restrictions on foreign investment, the lack of hedging instruments, and repatriation of capital invested. The securities and real estate markets of some emerging market countries have in the past sometimes experienced substantial market disruptions and, accordingly, may do so in the future. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited. The economies of many emerging market countries may be heavily dependent on international trade and, accordingly, have been, and may continue to be, adversely affected by trade barriers, foreign exchange controls and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they wish to trade. These economies also have been and may continue to be adversely affected by economic conditions of their international trading partners (including the United States). The reduction of foreign investment in the local economies or general declines in the international securities markets could have a significant adverse effect upon the securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, the relatively high level of indebtedness of many emerging market countries and dependence on foreign borrowing also adds to the level of macroeconomic risk.
Certain non-U.S. companies in which the Fund invests may constitute “passive foreign investment companies.” See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI. This may subject the Fund to U.S. federal tax and interest charges, or may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income without a corresponding receipt of cash. The Fund may be required to liquidate other investments (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to meet its distribution requirements for qualification as a RIC.
111

Fund Shares Liquidity Risk
Although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active, liquid or otherwise orderly trading market for shares will be established or maintained by market makers or Authorized Participants, particularly in times of stressed market conditions. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to attract market makers and Authorized Participants. There is no obligation for market makers to make a market in the Fund’s shares or for Authorized Participants to submit purchase or redemption orders for creation units. Accordingly, if such parties determine not to perform their respective functions, this could, such as during times of market stress, in turn, lead to variances between the market price of the Fund’s shares and the underlying value of those shares and bid/ask spreads could widen. Trading in Fund shares on the Exchange also may be disrupted or even halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund shares on the Exchange may be subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There also can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund’s shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
Gold-Related Investments Risk
Prices of gold or gold-related investments may move up and down rapidly, and have historically offered lower long-term performance than the stock market as a whole. Historically, gold markets have experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices, as well as sharp fluctuations. Gold can be influenced by a variety of economic, financial and political factors, especially inflation: when inflation is low or expected to fall, prices tend to be weak.
Industrial Metals Related Risk
Industrial metals industries may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic and political conditions, increased competition and changes in industrial and commercial demand for industrial metals. Mining operations have varying expected life spans, which may affect the volatility of the securities issued by the owners of such mines. In particular, some mining companies are in their early stages and may ultimately never produce any precious metals. Mining operations are also affected by natural disasters, industrial hazards, labor relations and governmental intervention, including environmental laws and trade policy. As a result, industrial metals have been and may continue to be subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time.
Inflation/Deflation Risk
Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from the Fund’s investments will be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of payments at future dates. As inflation increases, the real value of the Fund’s portfolio could decline. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund’s portfolio and Fund shares. Recently, inflation rates in the U.S. and elsewhere have been relatively high. There can be no assurance inflation rates will not remain high or rise or that efforts to slow or reverse inflation will not harm the economy and asset values. Periods of high or increasing inflation may give rise to higher interest rates, the risks of which are discussed in greater detail under “Preferred Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk” and “Debt Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
Infrastructure Companies Risk
Securities and instruments of infrastructure companies are more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting their industries. Infrastructure companies may be subject to a variety
112

of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs, high leverage, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies and other factors. Infrastructure companies may also be affected by or subject to:
high interest costs in connection with capital construction and improvement programs;
difficulty in raising capital in adequate amounts on reasonable terms in periods of high inflation and unsettled capital markets;
inexperience with and potential losses resulting from a developing deregulatory environment;
costs associated with compliance with and changes in environmental and other regulations;
regulation or adverse actions by various government authorities;
government regulation of rates charged to customers;
service interruption due to environmental, operational or other mishaps;
the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies and accounting standards;
technological innovations that may render existing plants, equipment or products obsolete; and
general changes in market sentiment towards infrastructure and utilities assets.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that preferred securities and other fixed income investments will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall, and therefore the Fund may underperform during periods of rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is discussed in more detail under “Preferred Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk” and “Debt Securities Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest.
Large Shareholder Risk
Certain shareholders, including other funds advised by the Advisor or, if applicable, a Subadvisor, may from time to time own a large amount of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Advisor, a Subadvisor or an affiliate of the Advisor or Subadvisor, an authorized participant, a lead market maker, seed investor or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment solely to facilitate commencement of the Fund or to facilitate the Fund’s achieving a specified size or scale. Any such investment may be held for a limited length of time. 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
113

shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund, including on the Fund’s liquidity. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a significant percentage of the trading volume on the Exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. The effects of taxable income and/or gains resulting from large shareholder transactions would particularly impact non-redeeming shareholders who do not hold their Fund shares in an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged plan. To the extent that such transactions result in short-term capital gains, such gains will generally be taxed at the ordinary income tax rate for shareholders who hold Fund shares in a taxable account.
Leveraging Risk
The Fund’s use of derivatives may create leverage (i.e., the Fund’s investment exposures exceed its NAV). Leverage increases the magnitude of the Fund’s losses when the value of its investments declines. Because many derivatives have a leverage component (i.e., investment exposure in excess of the assets needed to establish or maintain the derivative position), adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, rate or index may result in a loss substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. The use of leverage is considered to be a speculative investment practice and may result in substantial and potentially unanticipated losses to the Fund. Some derivatives, such as derivatives that provide for short exposure, have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment. The Fund may manage some of its derivative exposure by offsetting derivative positions against one another or against other assets. To the extent offsetting positions do not behave in relation to one another as expected, the Fund may perform as if it were leveraged to a greater extent than intended.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that particular investments of the Fund may become difficult to sell or purchase. The market for certain investments may become less liquid or illiquid due to adverse changes in the conditions of a particular issuer or due to adverse market or economic conditions. In addition, dealer inventories of certain securities, which provide an indication of the ability of dealers to engage in “market making,” are at, or near, historic lows in relation to market size, which has the potential to increase price volatility in the fixed income markets in which the Fund invests. Federal banking regulations may also cause certain dealers to reduce their inventories of certain securities, which may further decrease the Fund’s ability to buy or sell such securities. As a result of this decreased liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash, or give up an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on performance. Further, transactions in less liquid or illiquid securities may entail transaction costs that are higher than those for transactions in liquid securities.
Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk
Geopolitical events, such as war (including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, including the Iranian conflict that began in February 2026, and recent political and military developments in Venezuela), terrorist attacks, natural or environmental disasters (including hurricanes, wildfires and flooding), country instability, public health emergencies (including epidemics and pandemics), market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers and other governmental trade or market control programs, the potential exit of a country from its respective union and related geopolitical events, have led and may in the future lead to market
114

volatility and may have long-lasting impacts on U.S. and global economies and financial markets. Supply chain disruptions or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, sectors, companies or industries. Events occurring in one region of the world may negatively impact industries and regions that are not otherwise directly impacted by the events. Additionally, those events, as well as other changes in foreign and domestic political and economic conditions, could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers, securities markets, interest rates, secondary trading, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments.
Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine significantly amplified already existing geopolitical tensions. The United States and many other countries have instituted various economic sanctions against Russia, Russian individuals and entities and Belarus. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions imposed and other punitive actions taken (including any Russian retaliatory responses to such sanctions and actions), and resulting disruptions in Europe and globally cannot be predicted, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the global economy, securities markets and commodities markets globally, including through global supply chain disruptions, increased inflationary pressures and reduced economic activity.
Ongoing conflicts in the Middle East could have similar negative impacts. The possibility of a prolonged conflict and the potential expansion of the conflict in the surrounding areas and the involvement of other nations in such conflict could further destabilize the Middle East region and introduce new uncertainties in global markets, including the oil and natural gas markets.
Systemic risk events in the financial sectors and/or resulting government actions can negatively impact investments held by the Fund. For example, issues with certain regional U.S. banks and other financial institutions in March 2023 raised economic concerns over disruption in the U.S. banking system. These risks also may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which the Fund interacts. There can be no certainty that any actions taken by the U.S. government to strengthen public confidence in the U.S. banking system or financial markets will be effective in mitigating the effects of financial institution failures on the economy and restoring or maintaining public confidence. In addition, raising the U.S. Government debt ceiling 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. A default or a threat of default by the U.S. Government would be highly disruptive to the U.S. and global securities markets and could significantly reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.
The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies may, among other things, adversely affect the Fund’s investments denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. 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.
The rapid development and increasingly widespread use and regulation of AI Technologies may pose risks to the Fund. For instance, the rapid advanced development of AI Technologies and efforts to regulate or control its use and advancement may have significant positive or negative impacts on a wide range of different industries and the global economy. It is not possible to predict which companies, sectors, or economies may benefit or be disadvantaged by such developments, or is it possible to determine the full extent of current or future risks related thereto.
115

Some political leaders around the world (including in the U.S. and certain European nations) have been and may be elected on protectionist platforms, raising questions about the future of global free trade. 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 the Fund and its investments.
Market Price Relative to NAV Risk
Shares of the Fund may trade at prices that vary from Fund NAV. Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and are bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices that may differ, in some cases significantly, from their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in response to changes in NAV, as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, Fund shares on the Exchange. Fund shares may trade at a greater premium or discount between the market price and the NAV of the Fund’s shares and/or wider bid/ask spreads than those experienced by other ETFs. The Advisor cannot predict whether Fund shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may result because of, among other factors, supply and demand forces in the secondary trading market for Fund shares. It is expected that these forces generally will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the Fund’s holdings. In this regard, if a shareholder purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV or sells shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses. Different investment strategies or techniques, including those intended to be defensive in nature, including, for example, stop loss orders to sell an ETF’s shares in the secondary market during negative market events or conditions, such as a “flash crash” or other market disruptions, may not work as intended and may produce significant losses to investors. Investors should consult their financial intermediary prior to using any such investment strategies or techniques, or before investing in the Fund.
Market Risk
Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account any reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions.
Master Limited Partnership Risk
An investment in MLP units involves some risks that differ from an investment in the common stock of a corporation. Holders of MLP units have limited control on matters affecting the partnership. Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. MLPs holding credit-related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt issuers. MLPs that concentrate in a particular industry or industry sector (for example, the energy sector) or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry, sector or region. The benefit derived from the Fund’s investment in MLPs is largely dependent on the MLPs being treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes.
Materials Companies Risk
Companies engaged in the mining, production or distribution of goods in the materials sector may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and world events, economic and political conditions, energy
116

conservation and other environmental policies, commodity price volatility, changes in exchange rates, imposition of import controls, litigation and government regulations, increased competition, overproduction, depletion of resources and labor relations.
Natural Resources Sector Concentration Risk
Because the Fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of natural resource companies, it will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting this sector. The Fund’s investments in securities of natural resource companies involve risks. The market value of securities of natural resource companies may be affected by numerous factors, including natural disasters, inflation and international politics. Because the Fund concentrates its investments in the natural resources sector, there is the risk that the Fund will perform poorly during a downturn in that sector. For example, natural events (such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, fires or disease outbreaks in prime natural resource areas) and political events (such as acts of terrorism, coups, wars and other military confrontations, tariffs, sanctions or embargos) can affect the overall supply of a natural resource and the value of companies involved in such natural resource. Political risks and the other risks to which foreign securities are subject may also affect domestic natural resource companies if they have significant operations or investments in foreign countries. Changes in interest rates and general economic conditions may also affect the demand for natural resources.
New Fund Risk
The Fund is a newly formed ETF. Accordingly, investors in the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful, which could result in the Fund being liquidated at any time without shareholder approval and/or at a time that may not be favorable to shareholders. Such liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders.
Non-Diversification Risk
As a “non-diversified” investment company, the Fund can invest in fewer individual companies than a diversified investment company. As a result, the Fund is more susceptible to any single political, regulatory or economic occurrence and to the financial condition of individual issuers in which it invests. The Fund’s relative lack of diversity may subject investors to greater risk of loss than a fund that has a diversified portfolio.
Other Investment Companies Risk
To the extent the Fund invests a portion of its assets in investment companies, including open-end funds, closed-end funds, ETFs and other types of pooled investment funds, those assets will be subject to the risks of the purchased investment funds’ portfolio securities, and a shareholder in the Fund will bear not only his or her proportionate share of the Fund’s expenses, but also indirectly the expenses of the purchased investment funds. Shareholders would therefore be subject to duplicative expenses to the extent the Fund invests in other investment funds. Risks associated with investments in closed-end funds also generally include market risk, leverage risk, risk of market price discount from NAV, risk of anti-takeover provisions, risk of a premature liquidity event initiated by activist shareholders and non-diversification risk. In addition, restrictions under the 1940 Act may limit the Fund’s ability to invest in other investment companies to the extent desired. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded derivative products that are not registered under the 1940 Act.
117

Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other applicable rules under Section 12(d)(1) permit an investment company to invest in other investment companies beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. Reliance on these conditions could affect the Fund’s ability to redeem its investments in other investment companies, make such investments less attractive, cause the Fund to incur losses, realize taxable gains distributable to shareholders, incur greater or unexpected expenses or experience other adverse consequences.
In addition, investments in other investment companies may be subject to the following risks:
Manager Risk. The Fund’s investments in other funds are subject to the ability of the managers of those funds to achieve the funds’ investment objectives.
ETF Risk. An ETF that is based on a specific index, whether securities, commodities or a combination of the two, may not be able to replicate and maintain exactly the composition and relative weighting of securities in the index. An ETF also incurs certain expenses not incurred by its applicable index. The market value of an ETF share may differ from its NAV; the share may trade at a premium or discount to its NAV, which may be due to, among other things, differences in the supply and demand in the market for the share and the supply and demand in the market for the underlying assets of the ETF. In addition, certain securities that are part of the index tracked by an ETF may, at times, be unavailable, which may impede the ETF’s ability to track its index. An ETF that utilizes leverage can, at times, be relatively illiquid, which can affect whether its share price approximates NAV. As a result of using leverage, an ETF is subject to the risk of failure in the futures and options markets it uses to obtain leverage and the risk that a counterparty will default on its obligations, which can result in a loss to the Fund.
Partial Cash Transactions Risk
Unlike certain ETFs that effect creation and redemption transactions entirely or primarily in-kind, the Fund expects to effect some redemptions partially for cash. As a result, an investment in the Fund is expected to be less tax-efficient than an investment in an ETF that effects its transactions in Creation Units primarily on an in-kind basis. A fund that effects redemptions partially for cash may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Any such sales by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize a gain it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gain sooner than would otherwise be required as compared to an ETF that satisfies redemptions entirely or primarily in-kind. The Fund intends to distribute gains that arise by virtue of part of the issuance and redemption of Creation Units being effected in cash to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gain at the fund level and otherwise comply with applicable tax requirements for qualification as a RIC. This may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains to which they would not otherwise be subject, or at an earlier date than if they had made an investment in another ETF. Brokerage fees, which will be higher than if the Fund sold and redeemed its shares entirely in-kind, will be passed on to those purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees. In addition, these factors may result in wider spreads between the bid and ask prices of Fund shares than for ETFs that receive and distribute portfolio securities in-kind. The Fund's use of cash for creations and redemptions could also result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Precious Metal and Related Securities Risk
Prices of precious metals and of securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry have historically experienced high levels of volatility. The high volatility of prices of platinum, gold, silver,
118

palladium and other precious metals may significantly and adversely affect the financial condition of companies involved with precious metals. The production and sale of precious metals by central banks, governments, or other larger holders of such metals may be adversely affected by various financial, economic, political, and social factors, which are unpredictable and can have a significant negative impact on the prices of precious metals and the securities of companies engaged in the precious metals industry. Mining operations have varying expected life spans, which may affect the volatility of the securities issued by the owners of such mines. In particular, some mining companies are in their early stages and may ultimately never produce any precious metals. Mining operations are also affected by natural disasters, industrial hazards, labor relations and governmental intervention, including environmental laws and trade policy. Other factors that may affect the prices of precious metals and securities related to them include changes in inflation, the outlook for inflation and changes in commercial, industrial and consumer demand for such metals.
Preferred Securities Risk
There are various risks associated with investing in preferred securities. These risks include deferral and omission of distributions; credit risk; subordination to bonds and other debt securities in a company’s capital structure; interest rate risk; prepayment and extension risk; call, reinvestment and income risk; liquidity risk; limited voting rights; special redemption rights and regulatory risk.
Deferral and Omission Risk. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, at its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a stated period without any adverse consequences to the issuer. In certain cases, deferring or omitting distributions may be mandatory. If the Fund owns a preferred security that is deferring its distributions, the Fund may be required to report income for tax purposes although it has not yet received such income. In addition, recent changes in bank regulations may increase the likelihood for issuers to defer or omit distributions.
Credit and Subordination Risk. Credit risk is the risk that a preferred security in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or the issuer of the security will fail to make dividend, interest or principal payments when due because the issuer experiences a decline in its financial status. Preferred securities are generally subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in a company’s capital structure in terms of having priority to corporate income, claims to corporate assets and liquidation payments, and therefore will be subject to greater credit risk than more senior debt instruments.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that preferred securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. When market interest rates rise, the market value of such securities generally will fall, and therefore the Fund may underperform during periods of rising interest rates. Interest rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors, including unexpected shifts in the domestic or global economy (or expectations that domestic or global economic policies will change). Preferred securities with longer periods before maturity may be more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Prepayment and Extension Risk. Prepayment risk is the risk that changes in interest rates, credit spreads or other factors will result in the call (repayment) of a preferred security more quickly than expected, such that the Fund may have to invest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, or that expectations of such early call will negatively impact the market price of the security. Extension risk is the risk that changes in the interest rates or credit spreads may result in diminishing call expectations, which can cause prices to fall.
119

Call, Reinvestment and Income Risk. During periods of declining interest rates, an issuer may be able to exercise an option to redeem its issue at par earlier than scheduled which is generally known as call risk. Recent regulatory changes may increase call risk with respect to certain types of preferred securities. If this occurs, the Fund may be forced to reinvest in lower yielding securities. This is known as reinvestment risk. Preferred securities frequently have call features that allow the issuer to repurchase the security prior to its stated maturity. An issuer may redeem preferred securities if the issuer can refinance the preferred securities at a lower cost due to declining interest rates or an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer, or in the event of regulatory changes affecting the capital treatment of a security. Another risk associated with a declining interest rate environment is that the income from the Fund’s portfolio may decline over time when the Fund invests the proceeds from new share sales at market rates that are below the portfolio’s current earnings rate.
Liquidity Risk. Certain preferred securities may be substantially less liquid than many other securities, such as common stocks or U.S. government securities. Illiquid securities involve the risk that the securities will not be able to be sold at the time desired by the Fund or at prices approximating the value at which the Fund is carrying the securities on its books. During periods of high volatility, the Fund may experience increased redemptions, requiring it to liquidate securities when it is difficult to do so.
Limited Voting Rights Risk. Generally, traditional preferred securities offer no voting rights with respect to the issuer unless preferred dividends have been in arrears for a specified number of periods, at which time the preferred security holders may elect a number of directors to the issuer’s board of directors. Generally, once all the arrearages have been paid, the preferred security holders no longer have voting rights. Hybrid-preferred security holders generally have no voting rights.
Special Redemption Rights. In certain varying circumstances, an issuer of preferred securities may redeem the securities prior to a specified date. For instance, for certain types of preferred securities, a redemption may be triggered by a change in U.S. federal income tax or securities laws. As with call provisions, a redemption by the issuer may have a negative impact on the return of the security held by the Fund. See “Preferred Securities Risk—Call, Reinvestment and Income Risk” above and “Regulatory Risk” below.
New Types of Securities. From time to time, preferred securities, including hybrid-preferred securities, have been, and may in the future be, offered having features other than those described herein. The Fund reserves the right to invest in these securities if the Advisor or, if applicable, a Subadvisor believes that doing so would be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies. Since the market for these instruments would be new, the Fund may have difficulty disposing of them at a suitable price and time. In addition to limited liquidity, these instruments may present other risks, such as high price volatility.
Real Estate Market Risk
The Fund will not invest in real estate directly, but will invest in securities issued by real estate companies. However, because the Fund invests in securities of companies in the real estate industry,
120

the Fund is also subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. These risks include:
declines in the value of real estate;
risks related to general and local economic conditions;
possible lack of availability of mortgage funds;
overbuilding;
extended vacancies of properties;
increased competition;
increases in property taxes and operating expenses;
changes in zoning laws;
losses due to costs resulting from the clean-up of environmental problems;
liability to third parties for damages resulting from environmental problems;
casualty or condemnation losses;
limitations on rents;
changes in neighborhood values and the appeal of properties to tenants;
changes in interest rates;
falling home prices;
failure of borrowers to pay their loans;
early payment or restructuring of mortgage loans;
slower mortgage origination; and
rising construction costs.
REIT Risk
In addition to the risks of securities linked to the real estate industry, REITs are subject to certain other risks related to their structure and focus. REITs generally are dependent upon management skills and may not be diversified. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers and self-liquidation. By investing in REITs through the Fund, a shareholder will bear expenses of the REITs in addition to expenses of the Fund. In addition, REITs could possibly fail to (i) qualify for favorable tax treatment under applicable tax law, or (ii) maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. The above factors may also adversely affect a borrower’s or a lessee’s ability to meet its obligations to the REIT. In the event of a default by a borrower or lessee, the REIT may experience delays in enforcing its rights as a mortgagee or lessor and may incur substantial costs associated with protecting its investments.
Regulatory Risk
Legal and regulatory developments may adversely affect the Fund. The regulatory environment for the Fund is evolving, and changes in the regulation of investment funds and other financial institutions or
121

products (such as banking or insurance products), and their trading activities and capital markets, or a regulator’s disagreement with the Fund’s interpretation of the application of certain regulations, may adversely affect the ability of the Fund to pursue its investment strategy, its ability to obtain leverage and financing, and the value of investments held by the Fund. The U.S. government has proposed and adopted multiple regulations that could have a long-lasting impact on the Fund and on the fund industry in general. These regulations or any laws and regulations that may be adopted in the future may restrict the Fund’s ability to engage in transactions or raise additional capital and/or increase overall expenses of the Fund.
Additional legislative or regulatory actions may alter or impair certain market participants’ ability to utilize certain investment strategies and techniques.
The Fund and the instruments in which it invests may be subject to new or additional regulatory constraints in the future. These regulations and actions may adversely affect both the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund invests and its ability to execute its investment strategy. For example, climate change regulation (such as decarbonization legislation, other mandatory controls to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, or related disclosure requirements) could significantly affect the Fund or its investments by, among other things, increasing compliance costs or underlying companies’ operating costs and capital expenditures. Similarly, regulatory developments in other countries may have an unpredictable and adverse impact on the Fund.
Regulation S Securities Risk
Regulation S securities are offered through private offerings without registration with the SEC pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. Regulation S securities may be relatively less liquid as a result of legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Because Regulation S securities are generally less liquid than registered securities, the Fund may take longer to liquidate these positions than publicly traded securities or may not be able to sell them at the price desired. Furthermore, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that would be applicable if their securities were publicly traded or otherwise offered in the United States. Accordingly, Regulation S securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in losses to the Fund.
Rule 144A Securities Risk
Rule 144A securities are considered restricted securities because they are not registered for sale to the general public and may only be resold to certain QIBs. Institutional markets for Rule 144A securities exist or may develop and may provide both readily ascertainable values for such securities and the ability to promptly sell such securities. However, if there are an insufficient number of QIBs interested in purchasing Rule 144A securities held by the Fund, the Fund will be subject to liquidity risk and thus may not be able to sell the Rule 144A securities at a desirable time or price.
Secondary Market Trading Risk
Investors buying or selling Fund shares will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for Fund shares (the bid price) and the price at which an investor
122

is willing to sell Fund shares (the ask price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid/ask spread.” The bid/ask spread varies over time for Fund shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Fund’s shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund’s shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause widening of bid/ask spreads.
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk
The Fund can invest in companies of any market capitalization including small- to medium-sized companies. There may be less trading in a smaller company’s stock, which means that buy and sell transactions in that stock could have a larger impact on the stock’s price than is the case with larger company stocks. Smaller companies also may have fewer lines of business so that changes in any one line of business may have a greater impact on a smaller company’s stock price than is the case for a larger company. Further, smaller company stocks may perform differently in different cycles than larger company stocks. Accordingly, smaller company stocks can, and at times will, perform differently than large company stocks.
Small Number of Holdings Risk
The Fund’s performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a fund that has a higher number of holdings. At times, the performance of shares of particular companies will lag the performance of other sectors or the market as a whole. The risk is magnified when a fund has a small number of holdings. Generally, the more broadly a fund invests, the more it spreads its risks and potentially reduces the risk of loss and volatility.
Tax Risk
The Fund’s ability to make direct and indirect investments in certain asset classes described herein, including commodities, gold and other precious metals, and certain related investments, is limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code; if the Fund does not appropriately limit such investments or if such investments are recharacterized for U.S. tax purposes, the Fund’s status as a RIC may be jeopardized. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a RIC in any taxable year, and were ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, and all distributions from earnings and profits, including any distributions of net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as dividend income. See “Additional Information—Tax Considerations” in this Prospectus and “Taxation” in the SAI.
Timber and Forestry Industry Risk
The timber and forestry industry is highly cyclical and the market value of companies engaged in the ownership, management or upstream supply chain of forests and timberlands may be adversely affected by changes in U.S. and international economic conditions, interest rates, weather and environmental conditions and natural disasters, and government regulations, among other factors. For example, the value and volume of timber that can be harvested from timberlands may be significantly reduced due to the effects of forest fires, tree disease outbreaks, insect infestation, snow and ice storms, windstorms, flooding, landslides, volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters or similar events. Climate conditions could intensify the effects of any of these factors. Many companies in the timber and forestry industry do not insure against damages to their timberlands. Companies in this industry are also subject to stringent federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
123

Redeemability
Traditional mutual fund shares may be bought from, and redeemed with, the issuing fund for cash at NAV, typically calculated once at the end of each business day. Shares of an ETF, by contrast, cannot be purchased from or redeemed with the ETF except by or through Authorized Participants. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the shares of each Fund are not redeemable securities of the Fund. In addition, ETFs issue and redeem shares, generally on a continuous basis, only in large blocks of shares called Creation Units.
Exchange Listing
Unlike traditional mutual fund shares, each Fund’s shares are listed for trading on the Exchange. Investors can purchase and sell shares on the secondary market through a broker or other financial intermediary (collectively, “financial intermediary(ies)”). There can be no assurance that a Fund’s shares will continue to trade on the Exchange or that the Fund’s shares will continue to meet the requirements for listing or trading on the Exchange. Investors purchasing shares in the secondary market through a brokerage account or with the assistance of a financial intermediary may be subject to brokerage commissions and charges. Secondary-market transactions do not occur at NAV, but at market prices that change throughout the day, based on the supply of, and demand for, shares and on changes in the prices of a Fund’s portfolio holdings. The market price of shares may differ from the NAV of the Fund. The difference between market price of shares and the NAV of a Fund is called a premium when the market price is above the reported NAV and called a discount when the market price is below the reported NAV. The market price of a Fund’s shares may deviate significantly from the NAV of the shares, for example, in times of extreme market volatility or other conditions.
Tax Treatment
To the extent a Fund redeems its shares in kind, the distribution of portfolio securities to meet such redemption requests may mitigate certain adverse tax consequences associated with traditional mutual funds to continuing Fund shareholders. This is because traditional mutual funds typically sell portfolio securities to obtain cash to meet redemptions and, as necessary, may recognize taxable gains in connection with such sales. By contrast, to the extent a Fund redeems its shares in kind, as opposed to in cash, the Fund’s in-kind redemption mechanism will potentially reduce, relative to a traditional mutual fund, taxable gains resulting from redemptions. However, a Fund cannot predict to what extent, if any, it will redeem its shares in kind rather than in cash, particularly during the Fund’s growth stages when portfolio changes are more likely to be implemented within the Fund rather than through the in-kind redemption mechanism. Nor can a Fund predict the extent to which any such in-kind redemptions will reduce the taxable gain recognized in connection therewith.
Because a Fund may effect redemptions partly or entirely in cash, rather than in-kind distributions, it may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Such sales may cause the Fund to recognize gains it might not otherwise have recognized, or to recognize such gains sooner than would otherwise be required if it were to distribute portfolio securities in-kind. Each Fund generally intends to distribute these gains to shareholders to avoid being taxed on this gains at the Fund level and otherwise comply with the requirements for qualification as a
124

RIC under the Code. This strategy may cause shareholders to be subject to tax on gains they would not otherwise be subject to, or at an earlier date than, if they had made an investment in a different ETF. Moreover, cash transactions may have to be carried out over several days if the securities market is relatively illiquid and may involve considerable brokerage fees and taxes. These brokerage fees and taxes, which will be higher than if a Fund sold and redeemed its shares principally in-kind, will be passed on to purchasers and redeemers of Creation Units in the form of creation and redemption transaction fees.
The Preferred and Income Opportunities ETF and Short Duration Active ETF expect to meet redemption requests primarily in cash.
The Advisor, a registered investment advisor located at 1166 Avenue of the Americas, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10036, was formed in 1986 and its clients include pension plans, endowment funds and investment companies, including each of the open-end and closed-end Cohen & Steers funds and the Cohen & Steers ETFs.

Under its investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, the Advisor furnishes a continuous investment program for the Fund’s portfolio, makes the day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund and generally manages the Fund’s investments
125

in accordance with the stated policies of the Fund, subject to the general supervision of the Board. The Advisor also performs certain administrative services for each Fund and provides persons satisfactory to the Board to serve as officers of each Fund. Such officers, as well as certain Trustees of the Trust, may also be directors, officers, or employees of the Advisor. The Advisor and Subadvisors also select brokers and dealers to execute the Funds’ portfolio transactions.
For its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor a monthly investment advisory fee at the annual rate, expressed as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Management Fee”). The Management Fee is accrued at a daily rate and paid monthly in arrears from the assets of each Fund. The Management Fee that each Fund pays pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement is set forth in the table below. In addition, the Advisor has made contractual commitments to the Funds to waive the Management Fee and/or reimburse such Funds for expenses to the extent necessary to maintain those Funds’ total annual operating expenses at or below certain levels. Such waiver/reimbursement arrangements are also set forth in the table below and were most recently approved by the Board on June 16, 2026.

Each Fund calculates its NAV per share as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading.
Investments in securities that are listed on the NYSE are valued, except as indicated below, at the last sale price reflected at the close of the NYSE on the business day as of which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask prices on such day or, if no ask price is available, at the bid price. Futures contracts traded on an exchange are valued at their settlement price at the close of trading on their primary exchange. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily at the prevailing forward exchange rate. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service. OTC interest rate swaps are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service. Exchange-traded options are valued at their last sale price as of the close of options trading on applicable exchanges on the valuation date, when supported by sufficient trading volume, or otherwise based on prices provided by a third-party pricing service. OTC options are valued based upon prices provided by a third-party pricing service or counterparty. Short-term debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV.
Securities not listed on the NYSE but listed on other domestic or foreign securities exchanges are valued in a similar manner. Securities traded on more than one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price reflected at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities on the business day as of which such value is being determined.
Readily marketable securities traded in the OTC market, including listed securities whose primary market is believed by the Advisor to be OTC, are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the Advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board, to reflect the fair value of such securities.
Fixed-income securities are valued on the basis of prices provided by a third-party pricing service or third-party broker-dealers when such prices are believed by the Advisor, pursuant to delegation by the Board, to reflect the fair value of such securities. The pricing services or broker-dealers use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity exists, the
128

pricing services or broker-dealers may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market makers are used to determine fair value. In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the pricing services or broker-dealers also utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining fair value and/or characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security features which are then used to calculate the fair values.
The Board has designated the Advisor as each Fund’s “Valuation Designee” under Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. As Valuation Designee, the Advisor is authorized to make fair valuation determinations, subject to the oversight of the Board. The Advisor has established a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) to administer, implement and oversee the fair valuation process according to the policies and procedures approved annually by the Board. Among other things, these procedures allow a Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
Securities for which market prices are unavailable, or securities for which the Advisor determines that the bid and/or ask price or a counterparty valuation does not reflect market value, will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Circumstances in which market prices may be unavailable include, but are not limited to, when trading in a security is suspended or the exchange on which the security is traded is subject to an unscheduled close or disruption. In these circumstances, a Fund determines fair value in a manner that fairly reflects the market value of the security on the valuation date based on consideration of any information or factors it deems appropriate. These may include, but are not limited to, recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security and developments in the markets.
A Fund’s use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of Fund shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market quotations. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.
Since a Fund may hold securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or days when the Fund does not price its shares, the value of securities held in the Fund may change on days when you will not be able to buy and sell Fund shares.
Each Fund issues or redeems its shares at NAV per share only in Creation Units and only to Authorized Participants (or APs). Most investors will buy and sell shares in secondary market transactions through brokers or other financial intermediaries and therefore must have an account with them to buy and sell shares. Shares can be bought or sold through your financial intermediary throughout the trading day like shares of any publicly traded issuer. When buying or selling shares through a financial intermediary, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or
129

all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market for shares. The price at which you buy or sell shares (i.e., the market price) may be more (a premium to) or less than (a discount to) the NAV of the shares. Unless imposed by your financial intermediary, there is no minimum dollar amount you must invest in a Fund and no minimum number of shares you must buy. Each Fund accommodates frequent purchases and redemptions of Creation Units by Authorized Participants and does not place a limit on purchases or redemptions of Creation Units by these investors. A Fund reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject any purchase at any time.

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 registered owner of all outstanding shares of each Fund and is recognized as the owner of all shares. Participants in DTC 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 Fund share 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 on the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any stocks that you hold in book entry or “street name” through your brokerage account. Your account information will be maintained by your financial intermediary, which will provide you with account statements, confirmations of your purchases and sales of shares, and tax information. Your financial intermediary also will be responsible for distributing income dividends and capital gain distributions and for ensuring that you receive shareholder reports and other communications from a Fund.
Continuous Offering
Authorized Participants should be aware of certain legal risks unique to investors purchasing Creation Units directly from a Fund. Because shares may be issued on an ongoing basis, a “distribution” of shares could occur at any time. Certain activities that Authorized Participants perform with respect to
130

the sale of shares could, depending on the circumstances, result in an Authorized Participant being deemed to be a participant in the distribution, in a manner that could render the Authorized Participant a statutory underwriter and subject the Authorized Participant to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act. For example, an Authorized Participant could be deemed a statutory underwriter if the Authorized Participant purchases Creation Units from a Fund, break them down into the constituent shares, and sell those shares directly to customers, or if the Authorized Participant chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for shares. Whether a person is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act depends upon all of the facts and circumstances pertaining to that person’s activities, and the examples mentioned here should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could cause an Authorized Participant to be deemed an underwriter.
Broker-dealer firms should also note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are effecting transactions in shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act is not available in respect of such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. As a result, broker-dealer firms should note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are participating in a distribution (as opposed to engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions), and thus dealing with shares as part of an unsold allotment within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(c) of the Securities Act will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act. For delivery of prospectuses to exchange members, the prospectus delivery mechanism of Rule 153 under the Securities Act is only available with respect to transactions on a national exchange.
The Board has determined not to adopt policies and procedures designed to prevent or monitor for frequent purchases and redemptions of a Fund’s shares because investors primarily transact in Fund shares on the secondary market. Frequent trading of shares on the secondary market does not disrupt portfolio management, increase a Fund’s trading costs, lead to realization of capital gains or otherwise harm Fund shareholders because these trades do not involve the issuance or redemption of Fund shares.
Each Fund sells and redeems its shares at NAV only in Creation Units pursuant to the terms of a Participant Agreement between an Authorized Participant and the Distributor, and accepted by State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s transfer agent. With respect to such trades directly with a Fund to the extent effected in-kind (i.e., for securities), they generally would not cause the harmful effects that may result from frequent cash trades.
The Board recognizes that to the extent that a Fund allows or requires trades to be effected in whole or in part in cash, those trades could result in dilution to the Fund and increased transaction costs, which could negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. The Board also recognizes, however, that direct trading by Authorized Participants is critical to ensuring that a Fund’s shares trade at or close to NAV. Moreover, a Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Creation Units reflecting the fact that the Fund’s costs increase in those circumstances. Each Fund reserves the right to impose additional restrictions on disruptive, excessive or short-term purchases.
131

[The Board has approved, and each Fund has adopted, a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution and/or shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides such services, a Fund may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by any Fund, however, and there are no current plans to impose these fees. Future payments may be made under the Plan without any further shareholder approval. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in a Fund.]
The Advisor and the Distributor may make payments from their own resources to dealers and other financial intermediaries for distribution, administrative or other services. These payments may be significant to the dealers and the financial intermediaries and may create an incentive for a dealer or financial intermediary or their representatives to recommend or sell shares of a particular fund over other funds. Additionally, these payments may result in a Fund receiving certain marketing or servicing advantages that are not generally available to funds that do not make such payments, including placement on a sales list, such as a preferred or select sales list, or in other sales programs. These payments, which are in addition to any amounts you may pay your dealer or other financial intermediary, create potential conflicts of interest between an investor and a dealer or other financial intermediary who is recommending a particular fund over other funds. Please contact your dealer or financial intermediary for details about payments it may receive. For further details, please consult the SAI.
The Preferred and Income Opportunities ETF and Short Duration ETF each intends to declare and pay distributions from its investment income monthly, and the Real Estate ETF, Natural Resources ETF and Infrastructure Opportunities ETF each intends to declare and pay distributions from its investment income quarterly. Each Fund intends to distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least once each year, normally in December.
Brokers may make available to their customers who own shares the DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service. To determine whether the dividend reinvestment service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using this service, consult your broker. Brokers may require Fund shareholders to adhere to specific procedures and timetables. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and net realized gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares of a Fund purchased in the secondary market. Without this service, investors would receive their distributions in cash.
The following tax discussion offers only a brief outline of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in a Fund, does not address any non-U.S., state or local tax consequences, and is based on the
132

federal tax laws in effect on the date hereof. Such tax laws are subject to change by legislative, judicial or administrative action, possibly with retroactive effect. Further, this discussion does not address tax consequences to specific types of shareholders such as tax-advantaged retirement plans or non-U.S. shareholders (defined below). In the SAI, we have provided more detailed information regarding the tax consequences of investing in a Fund. Investors should consult their own tax advisors for more detailed information and for information regarding the impact of state, local and non-U.S. taxes on an investment in a Fund.
Dividends paid to you out of a Fund’s investment income will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long a Fund owned (or is deemed to have owned) the investments that generated them, rather than how long you have owned your shares. Distributions attributable to the excess of net long-term capital gains from the sale of investments that a Fund owned (or is deemed to have owned) for more than one year over net short-term capital losses from the sale of investments that a Fund owned (or is deemed to have owned) for one year or less, and that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends (“Capital Gain Dividends”) generally are taxable to you as long-term capital gains includible in net capital gain and taxed to individuals at reduced rates. Distributions attributable to the excess of net short-term capital gains from the sale of investments that a Fund owned (or is deemed to have owned) for one year or less over net long-term capital losses from the sale of investments that the Fund owned (or is deemed to have owned) for more than one year, are taxable to you as ordinary income.
If a portion of a Fund’s income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations, a portion of the dividends paid by the Fund may be eligible for the corporate dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, distributions of investment income properly reported by the Fund as derived from QDI will be taxed in the hands of individuals at the reduced rates applicable to net capital gain, provided certain holding period and other requirements are met by both the shareholder and the Fund. Dividend income that a Fund receives from U.S. REITs will generally not be treated as QDI and will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction. It is unclear the extent to which distributions a Fund receives from investments in certain preferred securities will be eligible for treatment as QDI or for the corporate dividends-received deduction. A Fund cannot predict at this time what portion, if any, of its dividends will qualify for the corporate dividends-received deduction or be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation applicable to QDI.
“Qualified REIT dividends” are treated as eligible for a 20% deduction by non-corporate taxpayers. Qualified REIT dividends are dividends received from REITs that are neither Capital Gain Dividends nor are eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, and with respect to which the REIT shareholder meets certain other requirements. A Fund is permitted to pass through qualified REIT dividends to its shareholders, provided the shareholders meet certain holding period and other requirements with respect to their shares.
A 3.8% Medicare contribution tax is imposed on the net investment income of certain individuals, trusts and estates to the extent their income exceeds certain threshold amounts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends paid by a Fund, including any Capital Gain Dividends, and net gains recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of the Fund. Shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this additional tax on their investment in a Fund.
133

Because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, the cash flow of a REIT that owns properties may exceed its taxable income. The REIT, and in turn a Fund, may distribute this excess cash to shareholders. Such a distribution may be classified as a return of capital. Return of capital distributions generally are not taxable to you. Your cost basis in your Fund shares will be decreased by the amount of any return of capital. Any return of capital distributions in excess of your cost basis will be treated as capital gains.
The tax treatment of your dividends and distributions will be the same regardless of whether they were paid to you in cash or reinvested in additional Fund shares. If you buy shares of a Fund when the Fund has realized but not yet distributed income or capital gains, you will be “buying a dividend” by paying the full price for the shares and then receiving a portion back in the form of a taxable distribution. Such distributions are likely to occur in respect of shares purchased at a time when a Fund’s NAV reflects gains that are either unrealized or realized but not distributed.
A distribution will be treated as paid to you on December 31 of the current calendar year if it is declared by a Fund in October, November or December with a record date in such a month and paid during January of the following year.
Each year, we will notify you of the tax status of dividends and other distributions.
Each Fund intends to elect to be treated as, and intends to qualify each year to be treated as, a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify and be treated as a RIC, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income” as defined in the Code and meet requirements with respect to diversification of assets and distribution of income and gains. If a Fund does so, the Fund generally will not be required to pay federal income taxes on any income it timely distributes to shareholders. If a Fund were to fail to meet any one of these requirements, the Fund could in some cases cure such failure, including by paying a Fund-level tax, paying interest, making additional distributions, or disposing of certain assets. If a Fund were ineligible to or otherwise did not cure such failure for any year, the Fund would be subject to tax on its taxable income and net capital gains at corporate rates, and all distributions from earnings and profits, including any distributions of net tax-exempt income and net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Any transaction by a Fund in non-U.S. currencies, non-U.S. currency-denominated debt securities or certain non-U.S. currency options, futures contracts or forward contracts (or similar instruments) may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the value of the non-U.S. currency concerned. Such ordinary income treatment may accelerate Fund distributions to shareholders and increase the distributions taxed to shareholders as ordinary income.
Certain of a Fund’s investments, including investments in certain debt instruments and certain derivatives, could affect the amount, timing and character of distributions you receive and could cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in excess of the cash generated by such investments, which may require the Fund to liquidate other investments (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to meet its distribution requirements or otherwise qualify for treatment as a RIC.
If you sell or otherwise dispose of your Fund shares, you will generally realize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between your adjusted tax basis in the shares and the amount received. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a shareholder on a sale or other taxable disposition of Fund
134

shares generally will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder held the shares for more than one year, and as short-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder held the shares for one year or less, assuming in each case that the shareholder held the shares as capital assets. Short-term capital gains generally are taxed at the rates applicable to ordinary income. Any loss realized upon a disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, capital loss to the extent of any Capital Gain Dividends received by the shareholder with respect to the shares. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Additionally, any loss realized on a sale or other disposition of shares of a Fund may be disallowed under “wash sale” rules to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced with other shares of the Fund within a period of 61 days beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition, including pursuant to a dividend reinvestment in shares of the Fund. If disallowed, the loss will be reflected in an adjustment to the basis of the shares acquired.
A Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding or other taxes. In that case, the Fund’s yield on those securities would be decreased. If a Fund invests more than 50% of its assets in non-U.S. securities, it generally may elect to permit shareholders to claim a credit or deduction on their income tax returns with respect to non-U.S. taxes paid by the Fund. In addition, a Fund’s investments in non-U.S. securities and non-U.S. currency may be subject to special tax rules that have the effect of increasing or accelerating the Fund’s recognition of ordinary income and may affect the timing or amount of the Fund’s distributions to shareholders. Because each Fund may invest in non-U.S. securities, shareholders should consult their tax advisers about the consequences of their investments under non-U.S. laws.
We may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax on all taxable distributions and redemption proceeds payable if you:
fail to provide us with your correct taxpayer identification number;
fail to make required certifications; or
have been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability.
Fund distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes. You should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the particular consequences of investing in a Fund.
Non-resident alien individuals, non-U.S. trusts or estates, non-U.S. corporations or non-U.S. partnerships (non-U.S. shareholders) are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in a Fund.
The foregoing discussion is based on the federal tax laws in effect on the date hereof. Such tax laws are subject to change by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, possibly with retroactive effect. Such changes may have a negative impact on a Fund or its investors. You should consult with your own tax advisor regarding potential consequences of changes in tax laws for investors in a Fund.
Please see the SAI for more detailed tax information. You should consult your tax adviser for more information on your own situation, including possible U.S. federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other applicable taxes.

Authorized Participant Taxes on Creations and Redemptions of Creation Units
Authorized Participants should consult their tax advisors about the U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of purchasing and redeeming Creation Units in each Fund.
The Trust’s SAI contains a discussion of the significant provisions of the Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration”). By becoming a shareholder of a Fund, each shareholder is expressly held to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Declaration and any other governing instrument of the Trust. The Declaration provides that shareholders waive the right to a jury trial. The Declaration also provides that no provision of the Declaration will be effective to require a waiver of compliance with any provision of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the 1940 Act, or of any valid rule, regulation or order of the SEC thereunder.
