This and other information can be found in the Fund's full or summary prospectus which may be obtained by calling 855-383-4636 (ETF INFO) or visiting our website at www.cambriafunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money. The Cambria ETFs are distributed by ALPS Distributors Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1000, Denver, CO 80203, which is not affiliated with Cambria Investment Management, LP, the Investment Adviser for the Fund. Investing involves risk, including potential loss of capital. Cambria does not provide tax advice, please consult your tax professional for tax advice. TAX: There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment goal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund will invest in stocks that have lower dividend distributions, which are generally taxed as ordinary income. The Fund’s tax aware strategy may reduce an investor’s taxable income from the Fund but will not eliminate it. Even though a tax aware strategy is being used, it may not reduce the amount of taxable income and capital gains distributed by the Fund to shareholders, or the amount of Fund distributions that are taxable at ordinary income rates. Narrowly focused funds typically exhibit higher volatility. Diversification may not protect against market losses. TAX is actively managed. Learn more about your ad choices.
