Three reasons to consider VDNI

1. Get Your US All Cap Exposure through an Innovative ETF – VDNI tracks a pioneering index
VDNI provides exposure to large-, mid-, and small-cap U.S. companies that exhibit a broad ethnic and gender representation of directors and Named Executive Officers (NEO). The underlying index displays a correlation1 close to 1 with the Russell 3000 and the S&P500.

2. Unlock the Diversity Value – Research finds that diversity at the top is a catalyst for outperformance
Three of the latest reports from McKinsey2 showed that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to have above-average profitability than companies in the fourth quartile, up from 21% in 2017 and 15% in 2014. The performance gap is widening between fast movers and slow movers in that department.

3. Companies' Leadership Culture Drives Sustainable Corporate Performance – Invest in the first US ETF focused on diversified human capital in leadership positions accounting for both gender and ethnicity
Diversification And Diversity have more in common than their Latin root; they both carry value. Human capital is a capital, a key driving force of any business, that too enjoys the benefits of diversification. Diversity at the senior leadership level is a foreteller of a healthy company culture, which in turn strengthens the levers and drivers of sustainable corporate performance.

Disclosures

The underlying index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted equity index designed to reflect the equity performance of U.S. companies exhibiting broad ethnic and gender representation for Directors and Named Executive Officers (NEO), as determined by the Index Provider, ISS ESG.

The index is rebalanced semi-annually. All returns assume the reinvestment of income and dividends. The index is calculated by an independent third party, Solactive. Additional information regarding the index is available here: https://www.solactive.com/indices/?index=DE000SL0BQB6#detail. Past performance is not indicative of future results. An investment of this nature is subject to risks, including the risk of loss of your entire investment.

The S&P 500® is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. The index includes 500 leading companies and covers approximately 80% of available market capitalization. The Russell 3000® Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 US companies representing approximately 97% of the investable US equity market. The Russell 3000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included.

Before investing you should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. this and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained from www.v-shares.com or by calling 1 844 VSHRETF (1 844 874 7383). please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.

As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility.

Passive Investment Risk. The Fund is not actively managed and therefore the Fund generally will not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector, unless that security is removed from the Underlying Index or the selling of the security is otherwise required upon a rebalancing of the Underlying Index.

Methodology Risks. The Index Provider relies on various sources of information to assess the criteria of issuers included in the Underlying Index, including information that may be based on assumptions and estimates. Neither the Fund nor the Index Provider can offer assurances that Underlying Index's calculation methodology or sources of information will provide an accurate assessment of included issuers or that the included issuers will provide the Fund with the market exposure it seeks.
