The LeaderShares Activist Leaders ETF seeks to generate long-term capital growth. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that employs an investment approach that focuses on equity securities that are the target of shareholder activism. These equity securities are identified using a proprietary quantitative methodology built on the foundation of tracking legally mandated filings known as "13D" filings that are submitted with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Rules adopted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require a shareholder that acquires, with an activist intent, more than 5% of a company's shares to file a form with the SEC known as a Schedule 13D that discloses the investor's identity and the investor’s purpose in acquiring those shares.
