The performance data quoted here represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 888-637-7798.

Prior to close of business on March 27, 2026, the Fund operated as an open-end mutual fund. There were no substantive changes to the investment objective, investment strategy or investment risk profile implemented as part of the reorganization. The NAV return series depicted above includes the performance of the Institutional Shares of the predecessor mutual fund since its inception on November 30, 2012, prior to the reorganization. The Market Price return series reflects the reorganization date of March 30, 2026, as the inception date. Performance may have differed had the predecessor mutual fund been structured as an ETF. Please refer to the current prospectus for additional information.

30-Day Median Bid-Ask Spread is defined as the average difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price the seller is willing to accept, over the past 30 days.

Investment Objective

The Sterling Capital Ultra Short Bond ETF is an actively-managed ETF that seeks to provide current income and a competitive total return.

Philosophy

In managing the portfolio, the portfolio management team uses a “top-down” investment management approach focusing on allocation among sectors, credit risk, and individual securities selection. The team focuses on macro trends in the economy to establish a duration target that reflects the outlook for the future direction of interest rates. For yield curve management, in addition to the trend in interest rates, other factors such as future inflation expectations, supply factors, and future interest rate expectations are considered. Sector weightings are driven by a combination of the team's macro view on interest rates and volatility as well as relative spread analysis. Utilizing fundamental analysis, the team then selects individual securities consistent with the target by looking for the best relative values within particular sectors.

The Premium/Discount shows the difference between the daily market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). Beginning November 2, 2020, market price data will be reflecting the official closing price. Prior to November 2, 2020, market price data is shown as the midpoint price. The midpoint is the average of the bid-ask prices at 4:00 PM ET (when NAV is normally determined for most funds). The table shows the premium or discount of the Mid-Point price as a percentage of the NAV as well as the number of trading days the Fund traded within the given premium/discount range. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
