Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust Issues Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares and New Notes and Sets Record Date and Date for Annual Meeting of ShareholdersATLANTA — (May 22, 2026) — Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE – FINS) (the “Fund”) has closed a $50 million private offering of Series A Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares, due April 30, 2031 (the “MRPS”). The MRPS are rated A3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
Net proceeds from the offering of the MRPS will be used primarily to refinance the Fund’s existing debt and to make new portfolio investments.
In addition, the Fund has entered into a Notes Purchase Agreement in connection with a private offering of $40 million of Series C Senior Notes, due July 8, 2030 (“Series C Notes”). The Series C Notes are rated A1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.
Net proceeds from the offering of the Series C Notes will be used to redeem the Fund’s 2.35% Series A Senior Notes, which mature July 8, 2026, in accordance with their terms.
The table below summarizes certain key terms of the Fund’s current leverage
*Note the Series C Senior Note has a delayed draw and will replace the maturing Series A Senior Notes in July 2026.
Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak”), the Fund’s investment adviser, anticipates that its strategic use of leverage will be beneficial to income generation due to the positive interest-rate differential between the interest earned and the cost of leverage. Angel Oak further believes that the MRPS and Series C Notes will allow the Fund to continue to seek to drive value for Fund shareholders and take advantage of current market conditions for capital deployment.

The $25B1 investment manager continues to see its ETF offerings surge in popularityATLANTA — (November 19, 2025) — Angel Oak Capital Advisors LLC, a leading investment manager specializing in active fixed income, today announced the three-year anniversary of its ETF platform. Since launching its first ETF in 2022, the firm has grown ETF assets under management to approximately $2.6 billion1 across five actively managed fixed income ETF strategies and subadvisor services.
“We are proud of the progress we’ve made in just three years and see a long runway for further growth,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Co-CEO and Group Chief Investment Officer of Angel Oak. “Investor demand has transformed what was once a niche market for actively managed fixed income ETFs, and we believe Angel Oak is uniquely positioned to lead in delivering differentiated income and total return solutions to institutions and advisors.”
A major driver of the platform’s success is the firm’s disciplined investment approach. Building on this, Angel Oak continues to broaden its offerings, most recently with the launch of the Angel Oak Total Return ETF. TRBF marks a key step in the platform’s expansion, giving investors the ability to utilized Angel Oak’s expertise in their core fixed income allocations.
As of Oct. 31, the Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF surpassed $1.2 billion in AUM and received an overall 5-Star Morningstar rating in the Ultrashort Bond category among 209 funds, based on risk-adjusted returns, reflecting the success of its capital-preservation and income strategy. Angel Oak continues to extend its offerings across the duration spectrum as it builds a one-stop shop for differentiated fixed income ETF solutions.
“As the marketplace for active fixed income ETFs expands, our focus is on aligning investors with the differentiated strategies they want,” said Ward Bortz, ETF Portfolio Manager and Head of U.S. Wealth Distribution at Angel Oak. “Clients are looking for diversified income-generating opportunities historically available only to institutional managers, delivered in the familiar, tax-efficient ETF wrapper. We plan to continue leveraging our specialized expertise to meet that demand.”
Angel Oak remains committed to expanding its ETF platform and expects today’s favorable macroeconomic backdrop will continue creating yield and total return opportunities in its core areas of expertise relative to traditional fixed income offerings.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds.

The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities do. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity, and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from—and in certain cases, greater than—the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lead to losses that are greater than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. The Funds are a recently organized investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.
ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market prices (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is an actively managed ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Morningstar RatingTM (“star rating”) is calculated for funds with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded and open-end mutual funds are combined into a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each fund category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar RatingTM is a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund’s 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar RatingTM metrics.
In the Ultrashort Bond category, the Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF was rated 5 stars among 209 funds for the 3-year period ending 10/31/2025.

ATLANTA — (October 2, 2025) — Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE: FINS) (the “Fund”) today reported that Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. acquired a majority of Angel Oak Companies, LP, the parent of Angel Oak Asset Management Holdings, LLC, itself the parent of Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (“Angel Oak”), the investment adviser of the Fund (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is not expected to result in any material change in the day-to-day management of the Fund.
The closing of the Transaction resulted in a change of control of Angel Oak (the “Change of Control”). Consistent with applicable requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), the previous investment advisory agreement between Angel Oak and the Fund (the “Previous Advisory Agreement”), contained a provision that the Previous Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of an “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act). The Change of Control caused an assignment of the Previous Advisory Agreement and resulted in the automatic termination of the Previous Advisory Agreement.
At a meeting held on April 23, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund considered and approved a new investment advisory agreement between Angel Oak and the Fund (the “New Advisory Agreement”) with the same advisory fee and substantially similar terms and conditions to the Previous Advisory Agreement. At a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund held on September 26, 2025, the Fund’s shareholders approved the New Advisory Agreement. The New Advisory Agreement will not result in any material changes to the Fund’s investment objectives and principal investment strategies.

ATLANTA — (June 18, 2025) — Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE: FINS) (the “Fund”) is pleased to share an update on the Fund’s capital deployment and general performance following the successful completion of its recent rights offering, which was significantly oversubscribed and raised approximately $110.4 million in gross proceeds. Strong demand drove the oversubscription, with robust participation from existing shareholders, which the Fund believes reflects their confidence in the Fund’s management team and investment strategy.
For the period ended May 31, 2025, FINS has outperformed its index on a 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and since-inception basis. Additionally, FINS pays out a distribution of over 10% and has narrowed its discount to 5.6% as of May 31, 2025, one of the largest improvements of its peer group over the past year. The Fund’s management team continues to deploy fresh capital into higher-coupon bank debt, taking advantage of the marked increase in issuance volumes, as community and regional banks seek to refinance or call debt originated during the post-COVID 2020 vintage.
“The banking sector has several notable tailwinds we are seeking to take advantage of, given strong credit fundamentals across the banking system, with expanding net interest margins, stable credit quality and a growing pipeline of M&A activity,” said Johannes Palsson, Portfolio Manager for the Fund. “The success of our recent offering validates our conviction in the opportunities we’re seeing across the financial sector, and we look forward to deploying capital in the current environment.”
“With decades of experience across our management team and nearly $2 billion invested across private and public strategies in regional and community bank debt, Angel Oak is well positioned to deploy capital and deliver value for our investors,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Managing Partner and Group Chief Investment Officer. “Our success in managing through multiple cycles and our established presence in the bank-debt sector for more than a decade bode well for the bullish outlook we expect to maintain over the next six to 12 months.”
NAV PERFORMANCE AND THE RIGHTS OFFERING
Ahead of the rights offering share issuance, FINS’ 2025 year-to-date NAV performance benefitted from the resumption of bank debt primary market issuance with meaningful volume, following a slowdown in 2023 and early 2024 due to rising interest rates and the lingering effects of the regional banking crisis. New investment-grade bank debt is coming to market at highly attractive coupons, and pricing has improved on legacy portfolio positions. Notably, a significant portion of the legacy bank-debt portfolio is approaching its call and floating-rate period within the next 12 months, which the Fund believes will position these holdings to pull to par as deals reset to floating rate or are called. Additionally, select tactical equity positions rebounded sharply post-Liberation Day. Tactical opportunities remain a small portion of the Fund, accounting for less than 10% of overall AUM as of May 31, 2025.
During the recent rights offering period, NAV was affected by heightened volatility surrounding two specific equity and preferred equity positions: KINS and PNBK.
Following the close of the recent rights offering, Angel Oak’s investment team rapidly deployed proceeds into money center and regional bank debt to eliminate cash drag. As the issuance calendar accelerates, the team continues to optimize the portfolio by adding higher-coupon community bank bonds. Approximately one-third of the proceeds have already been redeployed, with an average coupon of 7.65% on new community bank-debt investments (range: 7.00%-8.50%), which is over 100 basis points higher than the Fund’s average coupon of 6.49% as of March 31, 2025. The team believes the near-term pipeline remains strong, with anticipated new issue coupons ranging from 7.50% to 8.75%.

The post Oversubscribed FINS Rights Offering Enables Angel Oak to Deploy Capital into Bank Debt appeared first on Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC..
ATLANTA — (May 15, 2025) — Angel Oak Financial Strategies Income Term Trust (NYSE: FINS) (the “Fund”) today announced the preliminary results of its transferable rights offering (the “Offer”). The Offer commenced on April 21, 2025, and expired on May 14, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”).
The Offer entitled rights holders to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 8,354,213 of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Shares”). The final subscription price of $13.23 per Common Share was determined based upon a formula equal to 90% of the Fund’s net asset value per Common Share at the close of trading on the NYSE on the Expiration Date. As a result of high investor demand, the Offer was over-subscribed. The over-subscription requests exceeded the over-subscription shares available. Accordingly, the shares subscribed for pursuant to the over-subscription privilege of the Offer will be allocated pro rata among those fully exercising record date shareholders who oversubscribed based on the number of rights originally issued to them by the Fund. The Common Shares subscribed for will be issued after completion of the pro rata allocation of over-subscription shares and receipt of all shareholder payments.
The Fund will return to those investors who submitted over-subscription requests the full amount of their excess payments. The Fund will issue all of the 8,354,213 Common Shares offered pursuant to the Offer. The gross proceeds of the Offer are expected to be approximately $110.4 million.
“We are very pleased with the results of the FINS rights offering,” said Johannes Palsson, Portfolio Manager for the Fund. “We continue to see significant opportunities across the capital stack for bank investors. We expect significant debt issuance from community banks over the coming months, as the 2020 post COVID vintage moves into floating rate / call period. The sector should also benefit from a lighter touch regulatory background and increased M&A activity under the new administration,” said Palsson.

Led by Angel Oak’s experienced financial services team, FINS invests predominantly in U.S. financial sector debt as well as selective opportunities across financial sector preferred and common equity. Under normal circumstances, at least 50% of FINS’ portfolio is publicly rated investment grade or, if unrated, judged to be of investment grade quality by Angel Oak.

ATLANTA – (May 14, 2025) – Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC a leading investment manager specializing in structured credit, today announced the completion of its first home equity line of credit securitization, AOMT 2025-HB1, further expanding its market-leading residential mortgage securitization platform. Angel Oak has issued more than 60 securitizations since 2015, comprising more than 50,000 non-agency mortgage loans, for approximately $22 billion in aggregate.
AOMT 2025-HB1, Angel Oak’s sixth securitization of 2025, was rated by Kroll Bond Rating Agency and notably six times oversubscribed at the AAArated tranche, demonstrating strong investor appetite and a reflection of investor confidence in Angel Oak’s leadership and RMBS success over the past decade. The approximately $191 million securitization is backed by HELOCs originated through Angel Oak’s affiliate lending channel and thirdparty channels. The deal has an approximate weighted average coupon of 10.9%, with an average FICO score of 746 and a combined loan-to-value ratio of 63%, reflecting relatively strong borrower credit quality.
“We remain solidly bullish on U.S. housing overall, relative to other areas of credit, and the broader fixed-income landscape,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Co-CEO and Managing Partner at Angel Oak. “We believe that differentiated opportunities like those found through HELOCs present compelling investments, and we’re proud that our first issuance was met with such strong demand, a reflection of our capital markets team’s tenure and trust.”
“Our inaugural HELOC securitization reflects our ability to execute for investors seeking access to high-quality, residential credit exposure,” said Namit Sinha, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Angel Oak. “We’re proud to bring our expertise into the HELOC space, demonstrating our ability to innovate in the market while maintaining the high standards and operational success that investors expect from the AOMT platform.”
As opportunity in the HELOC space grows, Angel Oak intends to continue delivering HELOC securitizations to the market alongside the traditional, non-QM securitizations the firm is known for.

Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities do. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity, and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from—and in certain cases, greater than—the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lead to losses that are greater than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. The Funds are a recently organized investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

Angel Oak’s $1.4B ETF suite continues to gain traction with institutional investors seeking diverse income solutions in liquid strategiesATLANTA — (November 13, 2024) — Angel Oak Capital Advisors, a leading investment management firm focused on active fixed-income investing, announces the continued success of its ETF platform as it reaches its two-year anniversary. Now managing over $1.4 billion in assets through its ETFs and sub-advisory services, Angel Oak has achieved steady asset growth with its suite of distinct credit-focused solutions. Having reached the $1 billion milestone in June of this year, the firm’s four ETFs provide solutions for advisors and institutional investors seeking diversified fixed-income strategies that meet a range of risk-managed needs.
“We’ve been investing in the fixed-income markets for nearly 15 years, and the recent success of our ETFs demonstrates the demand for efficient access to investment strategies like ours,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Co-CEO and Group Chief Investment Officer. “As the appetite for actively managed ETFs grows, we see tremendous potential to capitalize on our ETF market leadership and fixed-income expertise. We look forward to building our platform even further to meet the growing needs of our investor base.”
A primary driver of Angel Oak’s ETF success is the firm’s active investment strategy, which includes a strategic overweight to securitized credit. This approach creates opportunities for the investment team to take advantage of premiums relative to similarly rated corporate bonds, traditionally overweight in fixed-income portfolios. The firm’s ETFs invest primarily in agency and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, as well as consumer asset-backed securities, alongside traditional corporate bonds and cash equivalents. This distinct approach has allowed Angel Oak to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns compared to its peers and respective benchmarks.
“We continue to see strong tailwinds within the fixed-income landscape we invest in, particularly as spreads remain above historical norms, positioning us to deliver yield advantages relative to traditional bond funds,” said Ward Bortz, ETF portfolio manager at Angel Oak Capital Advisors. “As more investors seek to diversify their fixed-income allocations, strategies like ours can offer high credit quality with the potential for strong total return.”
Angel Oak’s suite of ETFs provides investors with unique options that are tailored to various risk-reward profiles (listed below from highest to lowest risk):
Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF (AOHY): Focuses on high-yield income through a unique blend of corporate and structured credit, optimizing for yield with enhanced credit quality
Angel Oak Income ETF (CARY): Aims to provide current income by investing in the best risk-adjusted return opportunities across a diversified basket of U.S. fixed-income instruments
Angel Oak Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (MBS): Targets total return with a diversified portfolio of agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, emphasizing both stable income and price appreciation
Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (UYLD): Designed for capital preservation, this Fund will have a duration of less than one year and seeks to provide current income through high-quality, securitized credit assets
We see no signs of slowing investor demand for unique, actively managed fixed-income ETFs, so we are excited for what 2025 has in store and look forward to potentially bringing additional products to market, providing our clients with an even more diverse set of tools that leverage our market expertise,” said Bortz.

The post 2024 Estimated Capital Gains appeared first on Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC..
ATLANTA — (August 7, 2024) — Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC, a leading structured credit investment management firm, announced today that the Angel Oak Strategic Credit Fund (ASCIX or the Fund) has surpassed $100 million in assets under management. The interval fund, which invests primarily in non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities, has delivered compelling risk-adjusted returns over its six-year lifespan — a span that has included periods of quite volatile investment environments.
“Angel Oak was an early mover on delivering structured credit opportunities in an interval fund. That allows us to be opportunistic in times of volatility while still shielding the Fund from liquidity and redemption risk driven by short-term uncertainty,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Managing Partner and Group Chief Investment Officer for Angel Oak. “We are continuing to see increased interest in ASCIX. In this macroeconomic climate, advisors and institutions seek differentiated fixed-income strategies that align with their risk needs. Angel Oak has an impressive history of offering such strategies.”
The interval fund structure has proven to be a significant advantage during periods of economic fluctuation. Angel Oak’s approach allows the Fund to go further down in credit quality, which results in higher-yielding positions. At a sector level, ASCIX expresses the firm’s best ideas in structured credit with allocations across RMBS, ABS, CLOs, CMBS and corporate debt. The Fund’s strategy includes a distinct overweight to strategic credit assets, offering diversification not typically found in traditional fixed-income funds.
“For more than a decade, investors have been largely under-allocated to key areas of structured credit, but we’re seeing an uptick in interest now as traditional fixed-income assets and passive strategies are struggling to keep up with the changing market dynamics,” said Clayton Triick, CFA, Head of Portfolio Management of Public Strategies at Angel Oak. “We’re really pleased with how the Fund has performed and believe we are well positioned to continue uncovering new opportunities that will drive yield.”
Registered investment advisors and institutional investors have used ASCIX primarily as a diversifier in their fixed-income sleeve while potentially benefiting from the additional yield the Fund seeks to achieve. The interval fund structure provides the flexibility and strategic benefits that enable Angel Oak to hold positions during volatile times while maintaining the liquidity necessary to potentially capitalize on market opportunities as they arise.

The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Strategic Credit Fund is a closed-end Interval Fund. The Fund’s shares will not be listed on an exchange in the foreseeable future, if at all. It is possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, in which case shareholders may only have a portion of their shares repurchased. Quarterly repurchase offers and liquidity are limited. The Fund’s derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying asset, rate, or index, which creates the possibility that the loss on such instruments may be greater than the gain in the value of the underlying asset, rate, or index; the loss of principal; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities and restricted securities. Investments in restricted securities could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund’s assets invested in illiquid securities if qualified institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase these securities. The Fund will be subject to risks associated with adverse political and economic developments in foreign countries, including seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits, the imposition of economic sanctions, different legal systems and laws relating to bankruptcy and creditors’ rights, and the potential inability to enforce legal judgments, all of which could cause the Fund to lose money on its investments in non-U.S. securities. Changes in interest rates generally will cause the value of fixed- income instruments held by the Fund to vary inversely to such changes. Below-investment-grade instruments are commonly referred to as “junk” or high- yield instruments, and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower-grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns. The price paid by the Fund for asset-backed securities, including CLOs; the yield the Fund expects to receive from such securities; and the average life of such securities are based on a number of factors, including the anticipated rate of prepayment of the underlying assets. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to the general risks associated with investing in real estate securities; that is, they may lose value if the value of the underlying real estate to which a pool of mortgages relates declines. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.

Less than two years since inception, the firm’s suite of ETFs continues to grow, finding success in solving for potential gaps in advisor and institutional portfoliosATLANTA — (June 25, 2024) — Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC (Angel Oak), a leading investment management firm focused on securitized credit investing, announced that its exchange-traded fund (ETF) platform, composed of its four actively managed fixed income ETFs and its sub-advisory services, has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) since launching in November 2022.
“Reaching the $1 billion mark in just 20 months is a testament to the trust that our clients place in us and our deep expertise in the securitized credit market,” said Sreeni Prabhu, Managing Partner and Co-CEO at Angel Oak. “Everyone at Angel Oak is proud of this achievement, and we believe our scale will allow us to help even more investors.”
Following the firm’s first ETF launch, Angel Oak UltraShort Income ETF (NYSE: UYLD), Angel Oak also successfully launched Angel Oak Income ETF (NYSE: CARY) and, earlier this year, converted two of its mutual funds into ETFs — Angel Oak High Yield Opportunities ETF (NYSE: AOHY) and Angel Oak Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (NYSE: MBS). The ETF suite is one of the few in the marketplace offering investors significant exposure to non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities, consumer asset-backed securities and other securitized credit assets with an actively managed approach.
This AUM milestone underscores the robust growth and strong market acceptance of Angel Oak’s innovative investment offerings in a marketplace that was previously starved for securitized credit ETF solutions. By effectively addressing the needs of advisors and institutional investors, the platform offers compelling investment opportunities that seek a distinct combination of strong yield potential with diversification away from traditional fixed-income assets.
“We are grateful for the affirming response from advisors and institutional investors. It has been nothing less than remarkable. We continue to have productive conversations about the role these different solutions can play in a portfolio, especially given the significant premium currently offered by securitized credit,” said Ward Bortz, ETF Portfolio Manager and the Head of Distribution for US Wealth. “The asset classes we invest in are often underrepresented in investment portfolios — particularly ETF portfolios. We look forward to helping these investors access securitized credit and the continued growth of our platform.”
Angel Oak continues to increase its reach and influence in the investment community, working closely with advisors and institutional investors across the country to grow its ETF platform and explore broader partnership and sub-advisory opportunities. Angel Oak’s ETFs are currently listed on several platforms, including Baird, LPL, Raymond James, Stifel and UBS.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds.

The Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower-rated and nonrated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities do. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of, including credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity, and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Derivatives involve risks different from—and in certain cases, greater than—the risks presented by more traditional investments. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as illiquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management, and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lead to losses that are greater than the amount invested. The Fund may use leverage, which may exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio or higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in mutual funds, ETFs, and other investment companies. The Funds are a recently organized investment company with limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. For more information on these risks and other risks of the Fund, please see the Prospectus.
ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market prices (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is an actively managed ETF, which is a fund that trades like other publicly traded securities. The Fund is not an index fund and does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The Angel Oak Funds are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.
