WE NEED YOUR HELP
July 17, 2023
Dear Shareholder,
We need your help. On Friday, July 14th, we adjourned the joint special meeting of shareholders for one of our three Funds, Rayliant Quantamental China Equity ETF, to provide shareholders who have yet to cast their proxy vote with more time to do so. Our records indicate that we do not yet have your proxy voting instructions. Please take just a moment to cast your important proxy vote now so that we may proceed with the business of the Funds and avoid any further delay. We have set up the voting methods listed below for your convenience. The adjourned meeting is scheduled for Friday, August 11th.
PLEASE take a moment to cast your vote TODAY.
Rayliant Investment Research currently serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Shareholders are being asked to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Rayliant. The New Agreement has the same advisory fee, and otherwise does not materially differ from, the prior investment advisory agreement. As discussed in more detail in the proxy statement, you are being asked to approve the Proposal as a result of a transaction involving a change in the ownership of Rayliant Global Advisors Limited, Rayliant’s parent company. The Board of Trustees of the Trust recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.
For more information, please refer to the proxy statement at https://vote.proxyonline.com/aic/docs/rayliant.pdf If you have any proxy related questions, please call 1-866-898-1688 for assistance. Representatives are available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time.
Voting your shares today will prevent the need to call you and solicit your voting instructions. We very much appreciate your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Michael Beattie
President
