QVAL ValueShares U.S. Quantitative Value ETF

Seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Alpha Architect Quantitative Value Index. The process consists of 5 sequential steps: 1. Identify Investable Universe: The Index universe generally consists of mid to large capitalization U.S. exchange traded stocks. 2. Forensic Accounting Screens: The Index algorithm uses statistical models to avoid firms that may incur financial distress or are at risk for financial statement manipulation. 3. Valuation Screens: The Index screens for stocks with low enterprise values relative to operating earnings. 4. Quality Screens: The Index ranks the cheapest stocks on their long-term business fundamentals and current financial strength. 5. Invest.

Prior to January 31, 2017, the Fund was actively-managed using a quantitative strategy substantially similar to the methodology of the Index.
