Fund Description: WBI BullBear Global Income ETF, formerly WBI Tactical Income Shares is an actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the Absolute Shares Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The WBI BullBear Global Income ETF seeks current income with the potential for long-term capital appreciation, while also seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified Index. Instead, it uses an active investment strategy to seek to meet its investment objective. WBI Investments, Inc., the Sub-Advisor, subject to the oversight of the Advisor, has discretion on a daily basis to manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. FUND STRATEGY: Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in income producing, debt and equity securities of foreign and domestic issuers, including the securities of foreign and domestic corporate and governmental entities. Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested in foreign and domestic equities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and/or in option strategies to enhance the Fund’s returns or to mitigate risk and volatility, and may be selected without regard to their ability to produce income. Equity option strategies used by the Fund for individual securities include writing (selling) covered calls, buying puts, using combinations of calls and puts, and using combinations of calls and combinations of puts. The Fund may also use options on indices. The Fund may also invest in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment process. The types of debt securities in which the Fund will generally invest include corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, debt securities of foreign issuers, sovereign debt securities, U.S. government agency securities, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), ETFs, ETNs, and variable and floating rate securities. The types of equity securities in which the Fund will generally invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles and master limited partnerships. The Fund may invest in companies of any size market capitalization. The Sub-Advisor’s proprietary portfolio selection process attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be. The selection process includes a buy discipline and a sell discipline. Once securities are purchased, the Sub-Advisor maintains a strict sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each invested position on the Fund’s value. If a security’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the security will remain in the Fund. If a security’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the security will be sold. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested or by raising cash to protect capital. During periods of high market volatility a significant amount of Fund holdings may be sold, resulting in a large allocation to cash in the Fund. The selection process is run daily and cash will remain in the portfolio until a cash equivalent or a new security is purchased. FUND MANAGEMENT: Millington Securities, Inc. is the Fund’s investment advisor and has selected its affiliate WBI Investments, Inc. to act as Sub-Advisor to the Fund and to be responsible for its day-to-day investment management.
