Is There Still Value in U.S. Equities? Here's What the Fed Model Says

What is the Fed Model? ? The model compares the stock market forward earnings yield to the yield on long-term government

bonds (The U.S. 10 Year Government Bond Yield). ? Stocks and bonds are considered fairly valued when these two yield measures are equal. ? When the earnings yield is higher, stocks are considered attractive relative to bonds. Conversely, when

bond yields are higher than earnings yields, bonds are considered more attractive relative to stocks.

Stocks appear attractive, earnings yield remains higher than bond yields.

Is There Still Value in U.S. Equities? Here's What the Fed Model Says

Before you invest in O'Shares ETF Investments funds, please refer to the prospectus for important information about the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other important information, please visit to view or download a prospectus online. Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. There are risks involved with investing including the possible loss of principal.

Concentration in a particular industry or sector will subject the Funds to loss due to adverse occurrences that may affect that industry or sector. The funds may use derivatives which may involve risks different from, or greater than, those associated with more traditional investments. The funds' emphasis on dividend-paying stocks involves the risk that such stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform the market. Also, a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend after the Fund's purchase of such a company's securities. Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including political, diplomatic, economic, foreign market and trading risks. In addition, unless perfectly hedged, the Fund's investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund's returns. The funds' hedging strategies may not be successful, and even if they are successful, the funds' exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not expected to be fully hedged at all times. See the prospectus for specific risks regarding the Fund.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), are not individually redeemable, and owners of the Shares may acquire those Shares from the Funds and tender those shares for redemption to the Funds in Creation Unit aggregations only, consisting of 50,000 Shares. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Shares are not individually redeemable and can be redeemed only in Creation Units. The market price of shares can be at, below or above the NAV. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market Price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 PM Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

O'Shares ETF Investments funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Foreside Fund Services, LLC is not affiliated with O'Shares ETF Investments or any of its affiliates.
