CHLD Investment Objective and Strategy

LifeGoal Children Investment ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Northern Lights Fund Trust II.

Investment objective

The primary investment objective of the LifeGoal Children Investment ETF (the ?Children Investment Fund?) is to seek to provide current income and some capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Children Investment Fund is designed to assist investors in saving for their children?s needs, including child care and educational expenses. Because the time horizon for such expenses can vary, the Children Investment Fund pursues an asset allocation strategy that is designed to balance growth and downside market protection through different market environments. While the Children Investment Fund may be appropriate for a diverse group of investors with different goals as it is diversified and conservatively managed, there is a component of the Fund that attempts to pace inflation of typical children related expenses by allocating some of the Fund?s assets to companies where child-related expenses may be expected to be spent which may make it attractive to those seeking to invest or save for children-related expenses.

The Children Investment Fund invests in a portfolio of fixed income securities, equity securities and commodities. The Children Investment Fund will gain exposure to such equity securities, fixed income securities and commodities indirectly by investing in both actively and passively managed mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (collectively, the ?underlying funds?). Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, or securities convertible into common stock and may be of issuers of any capitalization. Fixed income securities include debt securities of varying maturities, debt securities paying a fixed or fluctuating rate of interest, and fixed income or debt securities of any kind, including, by way of example, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, by municipalities, by foreign governments or international agencies or supranational entities, or by domestic or foreign private issuers, including corporate loans, debt securities convertible into equity securities and inflation-indexed bonds.

In addition to underlying funds, the Children Investment Fund may only invest directly in U.S. large and mid-cap equity securities, U.S. investment grade corporate and municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries and Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). The Children Investment Fund will typically invest 5 ?15% of its assets in securities of companies where child-related expenses may be expected to be spent including clothing companies, food distributors and entertainment companies. Additionally, the Children Investment Fund may invest through underlying funds in Real Estate Investment Trusts (?REITs?) and securities related to real assets (like real estate- or precious metals-related securities) such as stock, bonds or convertible bonds issued by REITs or companies that mine precious metals as well as underlying funds holding precious metals.

When selecting underlying funds for the Children Investment Fund, the Adviser will consider a variety of factors including, but not limited to, performance, costs and whether an underlying fund discloses that it pursues environmental, social or governance (ESG) objectives or strategies in its prospectus. Under normal market conditions, the Children Investment Fund will invest its assets within the following ranges: 60-95% of its assets in fixed income, 5-35% of its assets in equities, and 0-20% of its assets in a combination of underlying funds providing exposure to commodities, REITs and high yield debt securities. The Adviser will allocate the Children Investment Fund?s assets among fixed income securities (including domestic, international and emerging markets, U.S. inflation-protected debt, and U.S.

long-term treasuries) and equity securities (including domestic, international, and emerging markets equities) to manage the Fund?s risk across asset classes over time. The Children Investment Fund seeks to emphasize exposure to fixed income, in order to avoid excessive volatility of returns. The Adviser may also invest indirectly through underlying funds up to 40% of the Children Investment Fund?s assets in foreign securities and up to 10% of the Fund?s assets in emerging market securities.
