Castellan Targeted Income ETF (CTIF)

Methodology

The Castellan Targeted Income ETF (CBOE:CTIF) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to provide capital appreciation by investing in equity securities with a history of growing their dividends. In selecting equity securities for the Fund, Castellan employs a proprietary methodology to find equity securities that blends both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Castellan seeks to find companies that have strong balance sheets and earnings growth which have consistently increased their dividends in the past 10 years. In order to seek additional income, Castellan opportunistically trades call options on these equity positions.

Why purchase this ETF?

Targeted Income ETF (CTIF) is built for investors who desire income from high-quality companies, with an added income boost from a slice of covered call options strategy.

CTIF selects companies with strong histories of dividend growth, applying a screen focused on balance sheet strength, earnings growth, and sustainable payout ratios along with a proprietary scoring metric. These are companies that not only pay dividends — they’ve shown the ability to grow them over time. To enhance income further, CTIF sells short-term calls on a portion of its holdings.

Fund Basics

NAV and Market Price

NAV is the sum of all assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Month-End Performance

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.

The fund is adopting the performance of the Bridgeway Funds, Inc., Omni Tax-Managed Small-Cap Value Fund (the “Predecessor Mutual Fund”) since its inception – December 31, 2010, as the result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Mutual Fund into the Fund (the “Reorganization”). Prior to the Reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations.
