Volatility Weighted Index
Russell 2000 Index
The Fund inception is August 1, 2014. Performance figures will be available after 9/30/14.
Performance represents
past performance. Past
performance does not
guarantee future results.

principal value will fluctuate with changing market
conditions so that when
redeemed, shares may be
worth more or less than
their original cost. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To

Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Strategies intended
to hedge risk may be partly or wholly unsuccessful. The ETF has the same risks as the underlying securities traded on the exchange
throughout the day. Redemptions are limited and often commissions are charged on each trade, and ETFs may trade at a premium or
discount to their net asset value. The ETF may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds”. Such securities are speculative investments
that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. In general the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise.
Investing in medium cap companies involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than large companies. The ETF
is not actively managed and may be affected by a general decline in market segments related to the index. The ETF invests in securities
included in, or representative of securities included in, the index, regardless of their investment merits. The performance of the ETF may
diverge from that of the Index.
Standard Deviation is applied to the annual rate of return of an investment to measure the investment’s volatility. Standard deviation is
also known as historical volatility and is used by investors as a gauge for the amount of expected volatility. Price-Earnings (P/E) Ratio is
a valuation ratio of a company’s current share price compared to its per-share earnings. Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how
much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gain, the dividend yield is the
return on investment for a stock. 30-Day SEC Yield (standardized yield), developed by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), is
based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. It reflects the dividends and interest earned during
the period, after the deduction of the fund’s expenses.
The CEMP U.S. Small Cap 500 Volatility Weighted Index consists of 500 of the largest U.S. small cap stocks $3 Billion or less with consistent positive earnings and with an equal weighting of risk among all 500 stocks.
The CEMP U.S. Small Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted Index is based on the daily price of CEMP U.S. Small Cap 500 Volatility
Weighted Index. If the underlying index declines from its daily highest value, the CEMP U.S. Small Cap 500 Long/Cash Volatility Weighted
Index will follow a predefined hedging and dollar cost averaging schedule based on the size of the decline of the underlying index. The
Russell 2000 Index is a market-cap weighted index composed of 2000 U.S. small-cap common stocks.
Indexes are unmanaged statistical composites and their returns do not include payment of any sales charges or fees an investor would
pay to purchase the securities they represent. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.+
Please consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. This and other
important information about the Compass EMP Funds can be found in the Fund’s current prospectus, which may be obtained by calling your Financial Advisor or shareholder services at 1-866-376-7890. Please read the prospectus carefully
