The Polen Capital China Growth ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital.
Overview
PCCE aims for long-term capital growth through investment in an actively managed portfolio, primarily invests in common stock of companies that have either the predominant part of their assets in, their revenues derived from, or substantial business in, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and/or Hong Kong.
We believe that consistent earnings growth is the primary driver of intrinsic value and long-term stock appreciation. We seek to invest in companies with a durable earnings profile driven by a sustainable competitive advantage, financial strength, sound ESG practices, proven management teams, and powerful products/services. By thinking and investing like a business owner and taking a long-term investment approach, we believe we can preserve capital and provide stability across market cycles.

The value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Polen Capital China Growth ETF compared with the MSCI China All Shares Index, and Morningstar China Region Category.
The hypothetical $10,000 investment at fund inception includes changes due to share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The chart does not imply future performance. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur fees, expenses or taxes, and cannot be invested in directly.
Performance quoted does not include a deduction for taxes that a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Short term performance is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance and should not be the sole basis for investing in the fund. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur fees, and cannot be invested in directly. Returns less than one year are not annualized.
Fund holdings and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security.
Two additional ETFs are planned for the near future and will bolster an extensive suite of funds in response to client demand for accessing these strategies within an active ETF framework. MORE

Polen Capital China Growth ETF Risks: Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The Fund invests in Chinese securities. There is a risk that the value of the Fund’s investments in China may decline due to nationalization, expropriation and confiscation of assets or property. Losses may also occur due to new or expanded restrictions on foreign investments or repatriation of capital.
The Fund invests in emerging market and foreign securities. Investment in foreign (non‑U.S.) securities and emerging market securities may cause the Fund to experience more rapid and extreme changes in value due to economic, political and social instability of such countries.
The value of equity securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, due to factors affecting the general market, an entire industry or sector, or particular companies.
Because the Fund is “non‑diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer.
Because the Fund may take into consideration the environmental, social and governance characteristics of portfolio companies in which it may invest, the Fund may select or exclude securities of certain issuers for reasons other than potential performance.
The Fund is newly formed and has no operating history.
A commission may apply when buying or selling an ETF.
