AMPLIUS AGGRESSIVE ASSET ALLOCATION ETF

Methodology

Amplius Asset Management (AAM) was founded by experienced investment professionals with deep roots in the wealth management industry. With a focus on individual investors, AAM emphasizes an asset allocation–driven framework as the foundation for long-term investment success.

Our investment philosophy is built on two core principles:

1. Asset allocation is the most important driver of sustainable, long-term returns.

2. Investor behavior is critical to realizing those returns over time.

AAM employs a disciplined, top-down investment process:

– Step 1: Asset class selection (equities vs. fixed income)

– Step 2: Sub-allocation (U.S. vs. International, Large Cap vs. Small Cap, Growth vs. Value, etc.)

– Step 3: Security selection

The fund maintains predefined allocation ranges to support consistent investor behavior and enable long-term adherence to a capital appreciation strategy. To manage volatility and enhance risk-adjusted returns, the strategy may incorporate a defensive sleeve and a proprietary active duration overlay.

AAM leverages research from both large institutions and boutique firms to inform its asset class and security selection. The ETF is designed for investors seeking a tax-efficient, growth-oriented core holding with better downside characteristics than traditional all-equity strategies.

Why purchase this ETF?

This ETF is designed for investors seeking capital appreciation through a tax-efficient, growth-oriented core holding that offers broad diversification with less volatility than traditional all-equity strategies. Grounded in the belief that long-term success depends on an investor’s ability to stay the course, the fund incorporates volatility-limiting features to help deliver strong capital appreciation with a smoother, more durable investment experience.

Our belief is simple: the best investment strategy is the one investors can stick with.

NAV and Market Price

Quarter-End Performance

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so shares may be worth more or less when redeemed or sold. Current performance may be lower or higher than that quoted.

Market price returns are based upon the closing composite market price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Returns are average annualized total returns, except those for periods of less than one year, which are cumulative. YTD is year-to-date and ITD is inception-to-date.
