Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives and risks as well as charges and expenses of the Clough Hedged Equity ETF and Clough Select Equity ETF (each a ETF and collectively, the “Clough Capital ETFs” or the “ETFs”), which are managed by Clough Capital Partners L.P. ("Clough Capital" or the “Firm”), before investing. This and other information are contained in the ETFs’ prospectuses, which may be obtained by clicking here. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
An investment in the ETFs is subject to risks and you can lose money on your investment in a Clough Capital ETF. There can be no assurance that the ETFs will achieve their investment objectives. Clough Capital ETFs are more volatile than broad market averages. Clough Capital ETFs also have specific risks, which are described in the ETFs’ prospectuses.
Shares of the ETFs may be bought or sold throughout the day at their market price on the exchange on which they are listed. The market price of a ETF’s shares may be at, above or below a ETF’s net asset value ("NAV") and will fluctuate with changes in the NAV as well as supply and demand in the market for the shares. The market price of a ETF’s shares may differ significantly from their NAV during periods of market volatility. Shares of the ETFs may only be redeemed directly at NAV by Authorized Participants, in very large creation units. There can be no guarantee that an active trading market for the ETFs’ shares will develop or be maintained, or that their listing will continue or remain unchanged. Buying or selling shares of the ETFs on an exchange may require the payment of brokerage commissions and frequent trading may incur brokerage costs that detract significantly from investment returns.
Risk Factors
Short selling involves the sale of securities borrowed from a third party. The short seller profits if the borrowed security’s price declines. If a shorted security increases in value, a higher price must be paid to buy the stock back to cover the short sale, resulting in a loss. The Clough Capital ETFs may incur expenses related to short selling, including compensation, interest or dividends, and transaction costs payable to the security lender, whether the price of the shorted security increases or decreases. The amount the Clough Capital ETFs could lose on a short sale is theoretically unlimited. Short selling also involves counterparty risk – the risk associated with the third-party ceasing operations or failing to sell the security back.
Hedging Risk. Options used by the ETFs to reduce volatility and generate returns may not perform as intended. There can be no assurance that the ETF’s option strategy will be effective. It may expose the ETF to losses, e.g., option premiums, to which it would not have otherwise been exposed. Further, the option strategy may not fully protect the ETF against declines in the value of its portfolio securities.
The Clough Capital ETFs are distributed by Vigilant Distributors, LLC. Clough Capital Partners L.P. is not affiliated with Vigilant Distributors, LLC.

Performance
Gross performance is defined as the performance results of a portfolio before the deduction of all fees and expenses. Net performance is defined as the performance results of a portfolio after the deduction of all fees and expenses that a client or investor has paid or would have paid in connection with the adviser’s services to the relevant portfolio, including, if applicable, advisory fees, advisory fees paid to underlying investment vehicles, and payments by the investment adviser for which the client or investor reimburses the investment adviser. Custodian fees paid to a bank or other third-party organization for safekeeping ETFs and securities may be excluded from the calculation of net performance. Actual client portfolios are subject to the deduction of various fees and expenses which would lower returns. Advisory fees charged to Clough Capital clients, whether directly or indirectly through an ETF, are described in Clough Capital's Form ADV Part 2 and Part 3 available at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/131257.
This website includes historical performance information from various stock market indices. Market performance information is included on this site solely to demonstrate the potential benefits historically associated with diversification of asset classes and does not represent or suggest results Clough Capital would or may have achieved when managing client portfolios. Investors cannot invest in a market index directly, and the performance of an index does not represent any actual ETF performance. The performance of an index does not include the deduction of various fees and expenses which would lower returns. Historical stock market information is obtained from U.S. Bank.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Performance information presented was obtained from Morningstar Direct. Morningstar's calculation of total return is determined by taking the change in price, reinvesting, if applicable, all income and capital gains distributions during the period, and dividing by the starting price. Unless otherwise noted, Morningstar does not adjust total returns for sales charges (such as front-end loads, deferred loads, and redemption fees), preferring to give a clearer picture of performance. Total returns do account for the expense ratio, which includes management, administrative, 12b-1 fees, and other costs that are taken out of assets. Total returns for periods longer than one year are expressed in terms of compounded average annual returns (also known as geometric total returns), affording a more meaningful picture of fund performance than nonannualized figures. The ETFs managed by Clough Capital do not charge any loads, nor do they have redemption fees. In this instance, total return would equate to net return.
Morningstar Category Averages are designed to represent the average return of funds within their category over time. Morningstar creates a category average daily total return index series, as well as monthly, quarterly, and annual averages of return and non-return data. Morningstar Category Averages are equal-weighted category returns. The calculation is simply the average of the returns for all the funds in a given category. The standard average calculation is based on constituents of the category at the end of the period.
The Morningstar Global Small/Mid Stock Category includes funds whose portfolios invest in a variety of international stocks that are smaller. Global-stock portfolios have a few geographical limitations. It is common for these portfolios to invest the majority of their assets in developed markets, with the remainder divided among the globe’s smaller markets. These portfolios are not significantly overweight in US equity exposure relative to the Morningstar Global Market Index and maintain at least a 20% absolute US exposure .The ETF was categorized in the Morningstar Category of Global Small/Mid Stock by Morningstar. Morningstar assigns categories based on funds’ average holdings statistics over the past three years. When necessary, Morningstar may change a category assignment based on recent changes to the portfolio.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each 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. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. As of November 30, 2024, Clough Select Equity ETF was rated against the following number of Global Small/Mid Stock funds over the following time periods: 155 investments in the last three years.
