Fund Disclosure
Effective 10/04/2024, the ALPS | Smith Balanced Opportunity Fund changed its name to the ALPS Balanced Opportunity Fund. Additionally, Smith Capital Investors, LLC ceased to serve as sub-adviser to the Fund and ALPS Advisors, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser, assumed all responsibility for selecting the Fund’s investments.
A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the duration of the bonds held by a fund, the more sensitive it will likely be to interest rate fluctuations.
The Fund intends to invest in the securities of affiliated exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), primarily consisting of ETFs advised by the Adviser (each, an "Underlying ETF"). The Adviser intends to gain fixed income exposure through investments in Underlying ETFs, primarily the ALPS | Smith Core Plus Bond ETF ("SMTH"), although the Fund may gain fixed income exposure by investing in other unaffiliated and affiliated ETFs. Individual shares of affiliated and unaffiliated ETFs may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through a broker or dealer at a market price. Shares of SMTH are listed for trading on the NYSE Arca.
The Adviser receives advisory fees from an Underlying ETF for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser (an “AAI ETF”) that are payable to it pursuant to the advisory agreement of such AAI ETF. It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and the AAI ETF could affect how the Adviser fulfills its fiduciary duties to the Fund and the AAI ETF. To seek to mitigate risks of conflicts of interest arising from investments in affiliated investment companies, the Adviser has agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund for any acquired fund fees and expenses payable by the Fund that are attributable to the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in an AAI ETF.
Each Underlying ETF in which the Fund invests will be subject to its own principal risks, depending on the investment objective, investment strategy and other characteristics of such Underlying ETFs. Those Underlying ETF risks may in turn become principal risks of an investment in the Fund. To the extent the Fund invests in other ETFs, including AAI ETFs, the Fund’s shareholders will indirectly incur certain fees and expenses of that ETF, including investment advisory fees. The Adviser has agreed to waive and/or reimburse the Fund for any acquired fund fees and expenses payable by the Fund that are attributable to the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in an AAI ETF. ETFs are investment companies that are bought and sold on a securities exchange. The Fund could lose money by investing in an ETF. ETFs are also subject to potential liquidity risk.
Overall securities market risks may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund or an Underlying ETF invests. The market value of a security or instrument also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
ALPS Advisors, Inc., registered investment adviser with the SEC, is the investment adviser to the Fund. ALPS Advisors, Inc. is affiliated with ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc.
