EA Bridgeway Ultra-Small Company Market ETF

Investment Objective

The EA Bridgeway Ultra-Small Company Market ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide long-term total return on capital, primarily through capital appreciation.

Investment Strategy

The Fund invests in a portfolio of common stocks of ultra-small companies selected by the Fund’s sub-adviser, Bridgeway Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in ultra-small companies. For purposes of the Fund’s 80% policy, the Fund considers ultra-small companies to be those with a market capitalization of less than $1 billion at the time of purchase.

The Sub-Adviser generally seeks to construct a portfolio with similar sector and size composition as the universe of the smallest 10% of U.S.-listed stocks. However, the Sub-Adviser may exclude companies that it views as likely to underperform the ultra-small company market universe.

The Sub-Adviser’s investment process incorporates material environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) information, when available, as a consideration in the ongoing assessment of potential portfolio securities. The Sub-Adviser uses ESG research and/or ratings information provided by third parties in performing this analysis and considering ESG risks. As with any consideration used in assessing portfolio securities, the Sub-Adviser may, at times, utilize ESG information to increase the weighting of an issuer with a good ESG record or decrease the weighting of an issuer with a poor ESG record. However, as ESG information is just one investment consideration, ESG considerations are not solely determinative in any investment decision made by the Sub-Adviser. ESG information for ultra-small companies may be limited, although the Sub-Adviser’s investment process incorporates this information when available.

Although the Fund seeks investments across a number of sectors, from time to time the Fund may have significant positions in particular sectors.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

The Morningstar RatingTM (“star rating”) is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history.

Overall Morningstar Rating for BUSM is based on risk adjusted total return out of 453 Small Cap Value Funds.

Exchange-traded and open-end mutual funds are combined into a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance.

The top 10% of funds in each fund category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM is a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund’s 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics. 

In the Small Cap Value category, BUSM Fund was rated 4 stars among 453 funds for the 3-year period ending 6/30/2026, 1 star among 432 funds for the 5-year period ending 6/30/2026, and 3 stars among 362 funds for the 10-year period ending 6/30/2026.

Star ratings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean the fund had high or positive total returns. Morningstar updates its star ratings monthly. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

NAV and Market Price

NAV is the sum of all assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Month-End Performance

Quarter-End Performance

The performance data quoted represents past performance and there is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Returns are average annualized total returns, except those for periods of less than one year, which are cumulative. Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the Fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on returns.

The Fund is the successor to the Ultra-Small Company Market Fund, a series of Bridgeway Funds, Inc., which operated as a mutual fund (the “Predecessor Mutual Fund”), as a result of the reorganization of the Predecessor Mutual Fund into the Fund, which is expected to take place on July 24, 2026. Accordingly, any performance information for periods prior to July 24, 2026 is that of the Predecessor Mutual Fund. The Fund’s net expense ratio is lower than that of the Predecessor Mutual Fund at the time of the Reorganization. As a result, the performance returns of the Fund for the periods shown would have been different than those of the Predecessor Mutual Fund. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had not yet commenced operations.

Market Price Return is calculated using the price that investors buy and sell ETF shares in the market. The market returns in the table are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4 p.m. EST and do not represent the returns you would have received if you traded shares at other times.

NAV return represents the closing price of the underlying securities.

Historical Premium / Discount

Basis Points (bps): A unit of measure used in quoting yields, changes in yields or differences between yields. One basis point equals 0.01%, or one-hundredth of a percent of yield and 100 basis points equals 1%.

The Premium/Discount shows the difference between the daily market price of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”). 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. 

The amount that the fund’s Market Price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the fund’s Market Price is below the reported NAV is called the discount.
