Entrepreneur ESG
Entrepreneurial Companies exhibit an approach which tends to have favorable impact from an Environmental, Social and Governance perspective. This unique approach is characterized as the Entrepreneur ESG. - eESG -
Environmental
Governance
Social
Over 65% of Entrepreneurial companies operate in sectors with low environmental impact such as Information Technology, Healthcare and Financials.
Founder-CEO success is derived from their superior commitment and long-term vision. Prior to Founder- CEO departure, company out performance is appreciably higher.
Entrepreneurial companies generate above market job growth over an extended period of time.

Entrepreneur ESG
Environmental – Low Footprint • Sectors that have the most Entrepreneurial presence, such as Technology, Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare, have the ability to provide the highest level of innovation with the lowest environmental impact due to the nature of their end products and services. Social – High Impact • Our Entrepreneurial companies create jobs, at all market cap levels, at a much higher pace than other comparable companies in the same sectors and market capitalizations. • EntrepreneurShares closely monitors Board of Director composition including minority and women Entrepreneurs participation and ownership. Governance – Superior Commitment • Entrepreneurial companies have senior management and BOD teams with low turnover, long, duration, and aligned compensation/ownership incentives. • Many of our holdings feature Founder-CEOs. Our research shows that these companies tend to outperform non-Founder peers over time.

FACTOR ANALYSIS DISCLOSURE
Index performance does not represent actual fund or portfolio performance and such performance does not reflect the actual investment experience of any investor. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. In addition, the results actual investors might have achieved would have differed from those shown because of differences in the timing, amounts of their investments, and fees and expenses associated with an investment in a portfolio invested in accordance with an index. The ER30 Index performance is based on pre-inception index performance. The index was created based on objective, pre-defined rules. The pre-inception index begins on 06/30/2005 and goes until 11/07/2017. Beginning on 11/07/2017 the Index began being tracked by the ERShares Entrepreneur 30 ETF based on the Index’s live performance.
The pre-inception Index performance period is based on criteria applied retroactively with the benefit of hindsight and knowledge of factors that may have positively affected its performance, and cannot account for all financial risk that may be affected the actual performance of the ER30 Index.
The Entrepreneur factor is a new influence that is contributing to the outperformance of publicly traded entrepreneurial companies. In a Bloomberg factor analysis, it is evident how a portfolio of entrepreneurial companies contains an entrepreneur factor which is more significant than all the other traditional factors such as growth or momentum.
The index rules can be found under the Principal Investment Strategies section of the ERShares Entrepreneur 30 ETF Prospectus. The prospectus can be obtained by calling 1-833-368-7383 or visiting our website www.ershares.com. The companies are reviewed on a quarterly basis in order to ensure their adherence to the ER 30 Index rules.
The ERShares Entrepreneur 30 ETF investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the investment company, and it may be obtained by calling 1-833-3687-383 or by visiting our website www.ershares.com .Read it carefully before investing.

Alpha compares the risk-adjusted performance of a portfolio to a benchmark index. A positive alpha means the portfolio has outperformed the index on a risk-adjusted basis. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a portfolio in comparison to a benchmark index. Less than one means the portfolio is less volatile than the index, while greater than one indicates more volatility than the index. Standard deviation measures historical volatility. Higher Standard Deviation implies greater volatility. Sharpe Ratio measures risk-adjusted performance by dividing the portfolio’s excess returns (returns above a "risk-free" rate such as a Treasury bill) by the standard deviation of those returns. The higher the ratio, the better the portfolio’s return per unit of risk. The Up Capture ratio is the statistical measure of an investment manager’s performance in up-markets. The Down Capture ratio is the statistical measure of an investment manager’s performance in down-markets. Information Ratio is a ratio of portfolio returns above the returns of a benchmark compared to the volatility of those returns. The P/E (or Price/Earnings) ratio is the ratio of a company’s share price to its earnings per share. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is a measure of a company's operating performance.
