Investment Strategy
The Small Cap Value Fund employs a quantitatively driven, factor-based investment strategy. Particularly, the Advisor selects, from the U.S. publicly traded stock universe, securities that Acclivity Investment Research considers to be small capitalization value stocks. The two requirements for companies to be considered as small capitalization value stocks are: (i) be in the lowest 8% of U.S. aggregate market capitalization; and (ii) exhibit a low market value relative to its book value. Within the defined universe, the strategy aims to systematically exploit select academically proven and empirically tested sources of higher expected returns in the market. The factor premia targeted by the strategy include: market, size, value, profitability, investment, and momentum.

Pursuant to an operating expense limitation agreement between Innealta Capital, LLC (the “Adviser”) and the Small Cap Value Fund, the Adviser has agreed to waive its fees and/or absorb expenses of the Small Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding any brokerage fees and commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short), taxes and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) for the Small Cap Value Fund do not exceed 0.48% or 0.73% of the Small Cap Value Fund’s average net assets, for Class I or Class N shares, respectively, through April 30, 2024.

Price-to-Book compares a company’s market value to its book value. The market value of a company is its share price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares. The book value is the net assets of a company, In other words, if a company liquidated all of its assets and paid off all its debt, the value remaining would be the company’s book value. Weighted Average Market Cap refers to a stock market index in which larger companies (i.e. with higher market capitalization) have more influence on the index’s performance.
Percentage in Top 10 Holdings is meant to be a measure of portfolio risk. Specifically, the higher the percentage, the more concentrated the fund is in a few companies or issues, and the more the fund is susceptible to the market fluctuations in these few holdings.

Used in combination with the total number of holdings, it can indicate how concentrated a fund is. Number of Holdings is the total number of holdings within the portfolio.

As of 12/31/2023, Morningstar rated the Acclivity Small Cap Value Fund as 4 stars overall, 5 stars over a three-year period, and 4 stars over a five-year period. The overall and three-year rankings reflect a comparison against 456, 456, and 427 funds, respectively, within the Small Value category. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.
