Strategy Overview
OBJECTIVE
The Clough Hedged Equity ETF (the "ETF") the seeks long-term capital appreciation while minimizing volatility. The ETF also strives to generate positive alpha via both the long and short portfolios over the course of an entire investment cycle. The ETF has the potential to enhance an investor’s return profile while reducing risk.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) managed by Clough Capital Partners L.P. (the “Adviser”). The ETF seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing securities the Adviser believes to have above-average financial characteristics, be undervalued and/or have growth potential, and by taking short positions in securities and the use of derivatives the Adviser believes will decline in price. The ETF will generally have net exposure of between 30%-70% of the ETF’s net assets. The ETF intends to employ other investment techniques, including purchases of put and call options and options on stock indices, to hedge against fluctuations in the price of portfolio securities, to enhance total return or to provide a substitute for the purchase or sale of securities.
Research Process
We believe that attractive investment returns can be achieved when key, proprietary insights into industry or economic trends are discovered, and their significance understood, before they become obvious to other investors. Within this context, the investment process will focus on investing in a number of major global investment themes. Once attractive themes are identified, the Adviser generally utilizes a “bottom-up” research process to identify companies it believes are best positioned to benefit from those specific themes, as well as companies that the Adviser believes may be vulnerable considering these themes.

Performance represents past performance and does not guarantee future
results. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will
fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less
than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the

NAV returns are based on the ETF’s net asset value, which represents the market
value of the ETF’s underlying investments minus liabilities divided by the ETF’s
outstanding shares. Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask
spread at 4:00pm Eastern Time, when the NAV is normally calculated. Performance
information for each listed index is for illustrative purposes only and does not
represent actual fund performance. Indexes do not charge management fees or
brokerage expenses, and no such fees or expenses were deducted from the performance
shown. Indexes are unmanaged and an investor cannot invest directly in an index.

The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the ETF and the ETF's reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the ETF's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the ETF's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the ETF's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in percentages. The horizontal axis indicates the trading days in the period covered by the chart.
