Important Disclosures
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other information, call 1-866-759-5679 or visit www.alpsfunds.com . Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemable.
All investments are subject to risks, including the loss of money and the possible loss of the entire principal amount invested. Additional information regarding the risks of this investment is available in the prospectus.
The Fund is new and has limited operating history.
The Fund is an actively managed portfolio and is therefore subject to management risk. The Fund’s strategy, which includes the use of call and put options and other derivatives, exposes it to derivatives and liquidity risk and may limit its ability to respond quickly to changing market conditions, particularly during periods of heightened volatility. In addition, the Fund does not guarantee that distributions will be paid or that they will be paid at a stable level.
The Fund is also exposed to sector- and theme-specific risks. Investments in non‑US issuers involve risks not typically associated with US securities, including political, economic and regulatory uncertainties. The Fund’s performance may be particularly sensitive to conditions affecting nuclear companies, which may face significant operational, regulatory and technological risks. Investments in companies involved in or exposed to artificial intelligence may be subject to intense competition, rapid technological change, limited resources and dependence on end‑user demand across multiple industries. To the extent the Fund invests in utilities sector companies, it is subject to risks related to regulation, environmental and civil liabilities, operating costs, supply and demand dynamics, and rate caps or changes, all of which may adversely affect stock prices.
The Fund is considered nondiversified and as a result may experience greater volatility than a diversified fund.
Beta: a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market or a benchmark.
