A Focus on Societal Impact
With the help of the OneAscent Elevate Screening methodology, the investment team seeks out those companies around the world that are providing goods or services that advance the flourishing of society. A deep dive into a company’s business model, stakeholder policies, and overall community impact helps to eliminate those companies that do not share our values and thereby allowing the team to focus on companies in which our clients can be proud to own.

Unique Fundamental Framework
The investment team believes companies go through a natural corporate “Life Cycle” and understanding where a company lies along that spectrum is central to the fundamental investment process. With the help of quantitative tools, the team is able to segregate the investment universe into life cycle stages and attempt to more accurately identifying a company’s real asset growth and return on invested capital. Using this lens, the team applies a rigorous fundamental analysis process to help identify those companies more likely to create ongoing shareholder value.

Important Risk Information:
Exchange-traded funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

The Adviser invests in securities only if they meet both the Fund's investment and values-based screening requirements, and as such, the returns may be lower than if the Adviser made decisions based solely on investment considerations.

The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund sharers, losses from trading in secondary markets, and periods of high volatility and disruption in the creation/redemption process of the Fund. These factors may lead to the Fund's shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV.

High conviction is a style of active management that is expressed through portfolio construction. Without deploying a consistent high-conviction approach over time, it is hard for any manager to beat the benchmark or passive fund equivalent for their target sector.

The fund contains international securities that may provide the opportunity for greater return but also have special risks associated with foreign investing including fluctuations in currency, government regulation, differences in accounting standards and liquidity.
