Important Risks
Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund(s). ETFs are subject to issuer risks and other risks specific to the Fund(s). There is no guarantee the Fund(s) will meet their investment objectives.
Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund(s). Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund(s) may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors.
The Sterling Capital Enhanced Core Bond ETF is new and has a limited history of operations.
Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.
The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as "junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal.
Fixed income investments are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuation in interest rates, credit risk, and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income prices will fall.
An investment in Sterling Capital ETFs is not an deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
Investment-grade bonds are those deemed by credit rating agencies to have a lower risk of default, typically rated BBB- (or Baa3 by Moody's) or higher, and are often preferred by institutional investors.
High-yield bonds are debt securities that pay higher interest rates because they are deemed more likely to default.
