Strategy Overview

Objective

The Congress SMid Growth ETF (the “SMid Fund” or “Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Risks of Investing in the SMid Fund

There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the SMid Fund. The following risks are considered principal to the SMid Fund and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:

Investing involves risk. Loss of principal is possible. The Fund invests in small- and mid-cap companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-cap companies. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which will involve political, economic and currency risks, differences in accounting methods, and greater volatility. The Fund’s investment in Growth stocks may lose value or fall out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the prices of other stocks.

The Russell 2500 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2500 Index© companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The performance data includes reinvested dividends. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Free Cash Flow is a measure of financial performance calculated as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; represents the cash that a company is able to generate after laying out the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.

Congress Asset ETFs are bought and sold through exchange trading at market price, not Net Asset Value (NAV), and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Shares maytrade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Congress Asset ETFs (the “Funds”) are registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC, member FINRA.
