Reasons to Consider WHITEWOLF Publicly Listed Private Equity ETF (Ticker: LBO)
Fund Objective
WHITEWOLF Publicly Listed Private Equity ETF (the “Fund” or “LBO”) seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income.
Methodology
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and current income. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of U.S. Publicly Listed Private Equity companies including Leverage Finance Providers and Buyout Firms, Sponsors, and Asset Managers. We define Leverage Finance Providers as Business Development Companies (BDCs), finance companies, and direct lenders (excluding banks). BDCs are considered specialty finance companies and primarily make investments in the debt and/or equity of small to mid-size companies predominantly in the U.S. We define Buyout Firms, Sponsors, and Asset Managers as leading publicly traded private equity companies, publicly traded asset managers that invest in private equity sponsors, and other vehicles whose principal business is to invest in or lend capital to privately held companies.
Fund Details
Fees & Expenses
*The Fund’s investment advisory agreement provides that the Adviser will pay substantially all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee payment under the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, payments under the Fund’s Rule 12b-1 Distribution and Service Plan, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expense and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. Additionally, the Fund shall be responsible for its non-operating expenses (see the italicized items in the preceding sentence) and fees and expenses associated with the Fund’s securities lending program, if applicable.
**Other Expenses and Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”) are estimated for the current fiscal year. The Fund’s investments in other funds requires the fund to report a total annual fund operating expense ratio in its prospectus fee table that accounts for both the expenses that a fund pays directly out of its assets (direct expenses), and the expense ratios of the underlying funds, including business development companies (BDCs), in which it invests, which are called AFFEs. AFFEs are indirect expenses. This disclosure is designed to provide investors with a better understanding of the actual costs of investing in a fund that invests in other funds. Accordingly, the prospectus for LBO discloses its AFFEs which are in the table above. However, because these fees are not borne directly by the Fund, they will not be reflected in the expense information in LBO’s financial statements. Information presented in the prospectus table will differ from financial highlights presented in LBO’s reports to shareholders, when available.
