Investing involves risk, including potential loss of principal. There is no assurance that the fund will meet its objective. Investments in securities in general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time, and the Fund's investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or to individual fund holdings. The value of investments in fixed income securities and securities in which the underlying investments are fixed income securities are expected to fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Investments in options involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities, including leverage risk, tracking risk and, in the case of over the counter options, counterparty default risk. Option positions may expire worthless exposing the Fund to potentially significant losses.
Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.
Horizon ETFs are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
