TCTL Investment Objective and Strategy

Premise Capital Diversified Tactical ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by ETF Series Solutions.

Investment objective

The Premise Capital Frontier Advantage Diversified Tactical ETF (the Fund) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Premise Capital Frontier Advantage Diversified Tactical Index (the Index).

Principal investment strategy

The Fund is a fund of funds that employs a passive managementor indexinginvestment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The rules-based Index measures the performance of a diversified portfolio of exchange traded funds (ETFs) representing common global equity, fixed income, and cash asset classes. The Index The Index consists of an investible portfolio of ETFs (Underlying ETFs) with exposure to major U.S. and non-U.S. asset classes. The weighting of each Underlying ETF is adjusted to (i) reduce exposure to individual asset classes determined to be in a downward trend (the Trend Adjustment) and (ii) reduce overall exposure to equity asset classes (and increase exposure to fixed income asset classes) as the aggregate size of equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend grows (the Risk Adjustment).

The Index universe consists of cash and Underlying ETFs that each principally track the performance of one of the following assets classes: Fixed Income Asset Classes Equity Asset Classes Short Term U.S. Large Cap Developed International Intermediate Term U.S. Mid Cap Developed International Small Cap Long Term U.S. Small Cap Emerging Market High Yield (Junk Bonds) Real Estate Inflation Protected The Underlying ETFs used by the Index are generally the largest, most liquid ETF tracking the performance of the applicable asset class. Construction of the Index begins by determining the expected rate of return for each asset class (the Market Expected Return) using a mathematical model (the Allocation Model) designed to calculate such returns based on the standard deviation of each asset class and correlation of each asset class to the other asset classes over the past five years and the current market capitalization of each asset class.

In other words, the model uses the amount investors currently have invested in each asset class (as measured by the market capitalizations of the constituents of each asset class), plus the historical performance of each asset class, to calculate the expected return for each asset class, rather than the particular views of the Funds investment adviser. The Index then utilizes a proprietary intermediate trend following algorithm (the Trend Algorithm) to determine whether each asset class is in an upward or downward trend. The Trend Algorithm considers a number of trend-related data points such as the direction of an asset class performance, the extent to which any trend in such performance is accelerating or decelerating, and the degree of variability in performance to determine whether an asset class performance trend is upward or downward over an intermediate time frame.

The intermediate time frame is generally 1-3 years, however the Trend Algorithm can cause trades more often, even frequently, if market conditions warrant. The Trend Adjustment is then implemented by optimizing the Indexs weighting of each asset class using the Allocation Model. If the Trend Algorithm determines an asset class is in an upward trend, the Allocation Model assumes the expected rate of return of the asset class is the Market Expected Return. If the Trend Algorithm determines an asset class is in a downward trend, the Allocation Model assumes the expected rate of return of the asset class is 0%, causing the asset class to be underweighted. The Index may weight one or more asset classes at 0% from time to time depending on the outcome of the Trend Adjustment and Allocation Model.

The Risk Adjustment is then implemented based on the aggregate size of the equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend by the Trend Algorithm. When all equity asset classes are determined to be in an upward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will reflect the Indexs most aggressive posture (i.e., maximum allocation to equity asset classes). As one or more equity asset classes is determined to be in a downward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will shrink as the aggregate size of the equity asset classes determined to be in a downward trend grows. When all equity asset classes are determined to be in a downward trend, the Indexs allocation to equity asset classes will reflect its most conservative posture (i.e., maximum allocation to fixed income asset classes).

Additionally, the Indexs weighting of certain asset classes is limited such that the following weights will not be exceeded at the time of each rebalance: High Yield Fixed Income (20%), Inflation Protected Fixed Income (20%), U.S. Mid Cap Equity (12.5%), U.S. Small Cap Equity (12.5%), Developed International Equity (35%), Developed International Small Cap Equity (10%), Emerging Markets Equity (15%), and Real Estate (15%). The Allocation Model will determine how to optimally redistribute any amounts exceeding the above constraints to the remaining asset classes. The Index is rebalanced annually in March and any time the Trend Algorithm determines that the trend for one or more asset classes has changed from upward to downward, or vice versa. At the time of each rebalance, the Indexs Risk Adjustment will determine the proportion of the Index allocated to equity asset classes and to fixed income asset classes.

The weight for each individual asset class is calculated at the time of the annual rebalance based on the expected rate of return for each asset class (i.e., either the Market Expected Return or 0%, depending on the asset class trend) and the market capitalization, five-year standard deviation, and correlation of each asset class to each other asset class. At the time of each rebalance other than the annual rebalance, the weight for each individual asset class is calculated based on the expected rate of return for each asset class (i.e., either the Market Expected Return or 0%, depending on the asset class trend) and the market capitalization, five-year standard deviation, and correlation of each asset class to each other asset class determined at the time of the annual rebalance. Asset classes with an upward trend and the largest market capitalizations will generally receive the largest weightings in the Index.

The Index is owned by Premise Capital, LLC, the Funds investment adviser (Premise or the Adviser), and was developed in 2016 for the purpose of launching the Fund. The Funds Investment Strategy The Fund attempts to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the securities that make up the Index. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Index, but may, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund, use a representative sampling strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics are expected to closely resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in the component securities of the Index. The Adviser expects that, over time, the correlation between the Funds performance and that of the Index, before fees and expenses, will be 95% or better. To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index.
