The Syntax Stratified LargeCap Index™ is the property of Syntax, LLC, which has contracted with S&P Opco, LLC (a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC) to calculate and maintain the Index. The Index is not sponsored by S&P Dow Jones Indices or its affiliates or its third-party licensors (collectively, “S&P Dow Jones Indices”). S&P Dow Jones Indices will not be liable for any errors or omissions in calculating the Index. “Calculated by S&P Dow Jones Indices” and the related stylized mark(s) are service marks of S&P Dow Jones Indices and have been licensed for use by Syntax, LLC, the parent company of Syntax Advisors, LLC.

The Syntax Stratified LargeCap Index™ is the property of Syntax, LLC, the Fund’s index provider. Syntax®, Stratified®, Stratified Indices®, Stratified Weight™, and FIS™ are trademarks or registered trademarks of Locus LP. Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Stratified Weight™ is the weighting methodology by which Syntax diversifies an index’s constituent companies that share “Related Business Risks.” Related Business Risk occurs when two or more companies provide similar products and/or services or share economic relationships such as having common suppliers, customers or competitors. The process of identifying, grouping, and diversifying holdings across Related Business Risk groups within an index is called stratification, and was designed by Syntax to seek to correct for business risk concentrations that regularly occur in capitalization-weighted indices and equal-weighted indices.
The Stratified Defined Risk Strategy combines Stratified Weight™ methodology with the Defined Risk Strategy of Swan Global Investments, LLC. The Fund seeks to reduce market risk by buying S&P 500® Index put options to limit overall portfolio downside loss. In an effort to generate additional returns, the Fund will also buy and sell options on equity indices including different expiration dates and engage in various option spread strategies. Each option strategy includes a hedging element so that the Fund is not exposed to significant losses on written options.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
The S&P 500® Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index of the 500 leading publicly traded companies in the U.S.
