Classification
Investment strategy
The Fund is actively managed by Empowered Funds, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Adviser manages the
Fund using proprietary methodology developed by Empirical Finance, LLC, d/b/a Alpha Architect (the Adviser’s parent) and licensed
to the Adviser.
The Adviser employs a multi-step, quantitative, rules-based methodology to identify a portfolio of approximately 50 to 100 undervalued
U.S. equity securities with the potential for capital appreciation. A security is considered to be undervalued when it trades at a price
below the price at which the Adviser believes it would trade if the market reflected all factors relating to the company’s worth.
