================================================================================================ DRAFT — HYPOTHETICAL MODEL PORTFOLIO — NOT A REGISTERED FUND, NOT AN OFFER TO SELL SECURITIES, NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. ================================================================================================ Cash-Based Profitability by Size (FCBP) Summary Prospectus · November 2026 · Dated 2026-11-14 Issuer: ETF Foundry Research (hypothetical) | Listing: Not listed (hypothetical) | CUSIP: Not applicable (hypothetical model portfolio) Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's full (draft) Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, which contain more information about the Fund. This is a hypothetical model portfolio, not a registered fund: no shares are offered or sold, and the figures below are illustrative. Not listed (hypothetical). ## Investment Objective The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by tracking a rules-based model built on one stock-ranking signal (cash-based operating profitability), before the placeholder expense ratio and trading costs. ## Fees and Expenses of the Fund This table describes the placeholder fees and expenses you would pay if you bought, held, and sold shares of the Fund, if it were a real fund. Investors do not actually pay these fees because the Fund is hypothetical. ## Annual Fund Operating Expenses (% of the value of your investment, per year) Item | Amount -----------------------------------------+------- Management Fee | 0.35% Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% Other Expenses | 0.00% Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.35% ## Example This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund. It assumes you invest $10,000, earn a 5% return each year, and that the Fund's placeholder operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, your costs would be: Period | Cost ---------+----- 1 Year | $37 3 Years | $115 5 Years | $202 10 Years | $454 ## Portfolio Turnover The Fund's model is rebuilt monthly, which in a real fund would cause it to buy and sell securities frequently. During the sample, on average 9.90% of the stocks on the long side were new each month (about 119% a year). Higher turnover would generate transaction costs and taxable gains that are not reflected in the hypothetical performance shown. ## Principal Investment Strategies The hypothetical Fund seeks to track a rules-based model that ranks stocks on one signal, cash-based operating profitability, and rebuilds its portfolio monthly. The stocks are U.S. common stocks listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ or NYSE American, with a share price of at least $5 and a market value of at least $50 million. Each month every signal is signed so that higher values are the ones the model buys, and turned into a percentile among the eligible stocks that have a value for it. Stocks are sorted the Fama-French 2×3 way on cash-based operating profitability. Each month stocks are split at the median market value of the NYSE stocks among them into small and big companies and, independently, at the 30th and 70th NYSE percentiles of the score into low, middle and high (all eligible stocks set the breakpoints when fewer than 20 are on the NYSE). The long side is half small-high and half big-high. A month is used only when each of the four corner groups has at least 5 stocks. The bucket setting does not apply. Within each corner group, stocks are weighted toward low market beta: each stock's beta is estimated from its last 36 monthly returns (at least 24 needed), and only the stocks whose beta ranks below the average rank among them get weight, the lowest-beta stocks the most. A stock that gets no weight under this rule is not held. The model is long-only: it holds the long side alone, and its returns in this document are measured in excess of the 1-month U.S. Treasury bill rate. The portfolio is rebuilt at the end of every month from data known at that date and held through the following month. The model uses point-in-time Sharadar fundamentals and split- and dividend-adjusted total- return prices. It is a research backtest, not a live trading record. Because this is a hypothetical model portfolio and not a registered investment company, the Fund does not actually hold securities, accept investments, or transact; all figures are illustrative. ## Signals Signal | Share | What it buys on its own -----------------------------------+-------+---------------------------------------------------- Cash-based operating profitability | 100% | Buys firms with high cash operating profit relativ… ## Principal Risks You could lose money if this were a real fund. The principal risks of the strategy are: - Not a Registered Fund Risk. This is a hypothetical model portfolio, not a registered fund or an investment company. No shares exist, nothing is offered or sold, and no one can buy or redeem. Nothing here is investment advice. - Model and Signal Risk. The strategy depends entirely on one quantitative signal and fixed rules. The signals may not persist, may be arbitraged away, or may underperform the broad market for long periods. - Hypothetical Performance Risk. All performance is a backtest computed with hindsight, gross of the placeholder expense ratio and of trading costs, taxes, and slippage. It is not what any investor earned. The signals and settings were chosen by the person who built this fund, possibly after seeing backtests, which tends to overstate future results. - Market Risk. Equity prices can fall due to company, industry, market, or economic conditions. - Small-Capitalization Risk. Half of each side is invested in companies below the NYSE median market value, whose shares are more volatile and less liquid than large-cap stocks. - Portfolio Turnover Risk. Monthly rebuilding implies high turnover that, in a real fund, would create transaction costs and taxable distributions not reflected in the backtest. ## Performance The following performance is HYPOTHETICAL and BACKTESTED — it was calculated by applying the model to historical data with the benefit of hindsight, is gross of the placeholder expense ratio and trading costs, and does not represent the results of any actual account. Past (hypothetical) performance does not guarantee or predict future results. Returns are those of the long side, in excess of the 1-month U.S. Treasury bill rate. ## Hypothetical Calendar-Year Returns (long side, over T-bills) Year | Hypothetical Return -----+-------------------- 2017 | 20.23% 2018 | 1.88% 2019 | 18.56% 2020 | 17.94% 2021 | 9.80% 2022 | -15.23% 2023 | 7.28% 2024 | 3.48% 2025 | 7.57% 2026 | 12.06% ## Average Annual Returns (hypothetical, as of the most recent sample month) Period | Hypothetical Avg. Annual Return ------------------------------------+-------------------------------- 1 Year | 12.62% 3 Years | 10.13% 5 Years | 3.11% 10 Years | 8.11% Since Model Inception (full sample) | 11.30% ## Management Investment Adviser (hypothetical): ETF Foundry Research (hypothetical). Portfolio Managers: Quantitative Model (rules-based) — the portfolio is constructed entirely by automated rules with no discretionary manager. ## Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares Illustrative only. If the Fund were a real ETF, shares would trade on an exchange at market prices, and large institutions (Authorized Participants) would create and redeem shares in Creation Units. Because the Fund is hypothetical, no shares are issued and none can be bought or sold. ## Tax Information Illustrative only. A real fund's distributions would generally be taxable as ordinary income or capital gains, except in a tax-advantaged account. The Fund makes no distributions. ## Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries If you purchased shares of a real fund through a broker-dealer or other intermediary, the fund and its distributor might pay the intermediary for the sale of shares and related services, which could create a conflict of interest. No such payments are made because the Fund is hypothetical. ================================================================================================ DRAFT — HYPOTHETICAL MODEL PORTFOLIO — NOT A REGISTERED FUND, NOT AN OFFER TO SELL SECURITIES, NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. ================================================================================================
