Fund Investment Objective

The TrimTabs Donoghue Forlines Tactical High Yield ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the TrimTabs Donoghue Forlines Tactical High Yield Index (the “Underlying Index”).

Where does DFHY fit into a portfolio?

The TrimTabs Donoghue Forlines Tactical High Yield ETF is a strategic allocation to investor portfolios. The fund can be used as a sleeve for the fixed income portion of an overall asset allocation portfolio for investors seeking income and or a total return.

Why invest in DFHY?

Income investors are currently challenged with historically low interest rates.

DFHY seeks to participate in the high yield bond market which offers generally high coupon rates to potentially provide a high level of current income. DFHY aims to capture the majority of the upside and more importantly avoid the majority of the downside of the high yield asset class during a full credit market cycle.

The strategy utilizes proprietary defensive “Tactical” indicators to attempt to mitigate downside volatility and preserve capital by shifting primarily towards intermediate term treasury exposure during market declines.

High Yield bonds have typically been less interest rate sensitive than higher quality fixed income asset classes and not as volatile as dividend paying stocks.

DFHY seeks consistent returns for investors seeking income distribution.

We believe that combining High Yield with Tactical Defensive Risk Management is a differentiator in Index and ETF construction.

Expense Ratio: 0.95%. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will uctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (toll free 800-617-0004). Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of a the fund's future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

There is no guarantee that DFHY will achieve its investment objective. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Because the Fund is an ETF (rather than a mutual fund), shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV, and are not individually redeemable. Owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Fund and tender those shares for redemption to the Fund in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 25,000 shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Investments in the Fund include risks associated with small-and mid-cap securities, which involve limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-cap securities. Because the Fund invests in ETFs, an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the underlying funds, including illiquidity, and an investment in the Fund will entail more costs and expenses than a direct investment in the Underlying ETFs. Index-Based Strategy Risk. Passive funds that seek to track an index may hold the component securities of the underlying index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or relevant market as a whole, which could cause the Fund returns to be lower than if the Fund employed an active strategy. The performance of the Fund may diverge from that of its Index. The Fund may participate in futures markets, which are highly volatile, and the use of futures may increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments by the Fund in high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality are considered to be speculative and are generally subject to a greater risk of loss of principal and interest than investment grade securities. Investment in a fund that utilizes a tactical overlay that seeks to minimize risk may not be appropriate for every investor seeking a particular risk profile. Active and frequent trading of portfolio securities may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund, and may also result in higher taxes if Shares are held in a taxable account.

The TrimTabs Donoghue Forlines Tactical High Yield Index (the “Index”) derives its performance from a rules-based strategy that employs a tactical overlay driven by a technical signal to determine a bullish or defensive posture. The tactical overlay will trigger 80% of the portfolio into a defensive position, should market conditions warrant. When in a defensive position, the Fund will be invested in intermediate-term U.S. Treasury exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). When bullish, the Fund will direct investments into a selection of High Yield Bond ETFs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index
