Vaughan Nelson Global Equity SMID ETF - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to outperform the MSCI ACWI SMID Cap Index (after fees and expenses and before taxes) on a rolling five-year basis.
Fund Strategy
The Fund invests primarily in global SMID cap stocks that the Investment Manager believes can generate capital growth. The Investment Manager seeks an asymmetric risk-profile when adding securities to the Fund. The Investment Manager's bottom-up investment process leads to the selection of approximately 40 to 80 equity securities that generally fall within the market cap range of the MSCI ACWI SMID Cap Index at time of purchase. The Fund does not use derivatives.
