The March 12, 2021, merger of the Adaptive Growth Opportunities Fund, a series of the Starboard Investment Trust, into the Adaptive Growth Opportunities ETF, a series of the trust that was created for that purpose, illustrates what this may entail. The fund’s adviser, Cavalier Investments (doing business as Adaptive Investments), continues as the ETF’s adviser. The shareholders received a Form N-14 information statement, prospectus, statement of additional information, president’s letter, and Q&A describing the conversion and the ETF. Shareholders had an opportunity to redeem or exchange their shares in the fund if they did not want to continue as shareholders of the ETF.
