About Infrastructure Capital Advisors
Infrastructure Capital Advisors, LLC (ICA) is an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages exchange traded funds (ETFs) and a series of private funds. The firm was formed in 2012 and is based in New York City. ICA seeks total-return opportunities driven by catalysts, largely in key infrastructure sectors. These sectors include energy, real estate, transportation, industrials and utilities. It often identifies opportunities in entities that are not taxed at the entity level, such as master limited partnerships ("MLPs") and real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). It also looks for opportunities in credit and related securities, such as preferred stocks.
Current income is a primary objective in most, but not all, of ICA's investing activities. Consequently, the focus is generally on companies that generate and distribute substantial streams of free cash flow. This approach is based on the belief that tangible assets that produce free cash flow have intrinsic values that are unlikely to deteriorate over time.

BNDS ETF strategy is to target high yield investments across fixed-income securities, predominately focusing on corporate bonds.

The Fund focuses primarily on the securities of U.S.-listed small cap companies, which is defined as companies with a market capitalization within the range of companies in the Russell 2000 Index. Investments may take the form of common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, debt instruments, equity-linked notes, or other small cap-focused ETFs.
ICAP ETF will primarily invest in equity securities of companies with a strong track record of paying dividends during normal market conditions. The Fund's portfolio of equities will generally be a diversified selection of securities, including a broad cross-section of sectors and sub-sectors, such as REITs, Utilities, Industrials, pipelines, and financials.

DISCLOSURE
Opinions represented are subject to change and should not be considered investment advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results. This data was prepared using sources of information generally believed to be reliable; however, its accuracy is not guaranteed. The Russell 2000 Index is a small-cap U.S. stock market index that makes up the smallest 2,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The term premium is the extra return that investors demand for holding a long-term bond instead of a series of short-term bonds. A credit premium (often called a credit risk premium or default premium) is the excess return or additional yield an investor requires to hold a debt instrument issued by an entity other than a risk-free government. A liquidity premium is the extra return or higher yield that investors demand for holding an asset that cannot be quickly and easily converted into cash at its fair market value. Preferred stock is a unique class of corporate ownership that combines features of both stocks and bonds, giving investors priority over common stockholders for receiving fixed dividend payments and asset distributions. Convertible securities are hybrid financial instruments—usually bonds or preferred shares—that give investors the right to exchange the security for a predetermined number of shares of the issuing company's common stock. An Equity-Linked Note (ELN) is a debt instrument where the principal payment or interest payout is tied to the performance of an underlying equity, such as a single stock, a basket of stocks, or a market index (like the S&P 500). REITs, or real estate investment trusts, are companies that own or finance income-producing real estate across a range of property sectors.

A word about QVOL Risk: Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with no operating history prior to the date of this Prospectus. As a result, prospective investors have no track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Options transactions involve special risks that may make it difficult or impossible to close a position when the Fund desires. The prices of securities the Adviser believes are undervalued may not appreciate as anticipated or may go down, the valuations may never improve or returns on value equity securities may be less than returns on other styles of investing or the overall stock market. Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested. When the Fund borrows money for investment purposes, or when the Fund engages in certain derivative transactions, such as options, the Fund may become leveraged. A high portfolio turnover rate (portfolio turnover in excess of 100% of the average value of the Fund's portfolio) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject you to a higher tax liability.
Please see prospectus for discussion of risks. QVOL fund distributor, Quasar Distributors, LLC.

Small and Medium-capitalization companies, foreign investments and high yielding equity and debt securities may be subject to elevated risks.

An issuer of debt securities may not make timely payments of principal and interest and may default entirely in its obligations. A decrease in the issuer's credit rating may lower the value of debt securities. Interest Rate Risk. Securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise. Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may pose risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in securities, currencies or other investments, including risks relating to leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, high price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. Options Risk. Options transactions involve special risks that may make it difficult or impossible to close a position when the Fund desires.
