Robinson Alternative Yield Pre-merger SPAC ETF (SPAX)
About Robinson Alternative Yield Pre-merger SPAC ETF (SPAX)
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF). In pursuing the Funds investment objective, the Fund will invest at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities, specifically units and shares of common stock and warrants, of U.S.-listed Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs). The Fund expects to invest the majority of its assets in SPACs which are small capitalization companies. The Fund considers a company to be a small capitalization company if it has a market capitalization below dollar 2 billion. A SPAC (or blank check company) is a company with no commercial operations that is established solely to raise capital through an initial public offering (IPO) for the purpose of acquiring an existing operating company. A SPAC is publicly traded and is formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more other operating companies. SPACs often have pre-determined time frames to complete a business combination (typically two years) or the SPAC will liquidate. Unless and until a business combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. government securities, money market securities, and cash and such assets are held in a trust account. SPACs generally offer units, each comprised of one share of common stock and a warrant (or portion of a warrant) to purchase common stock upon or after the business combination. A warrant is a security that allows its holder to purchase a specified amount of common stock at a specified price for a specified time. The Fund may seek to sell warrants that it receives in connection with the purchase of a SPACs units in order to generate additional returns for shareholders. The Fund intends to sell any SPAC units, common shares and warrants prior to the completion of a business combination. SPAC common stock shareholders of record have the right to redeem their shares for the pro rata trust account value rather than participating as a shareholder of a successful merger or business combination. SPAC common stock and warrants may each trade separately on an exchange. A SPAC will file a notice with the SEC and inform investors when warrants may be traded separately from common stock.
