SENS-AI conclusion

Prescient Management Company has confirmed that no distribution will be declared for the Prescient Balanced Feeder Actively Managed ETF for the period ended 31 March 2026. The zero-distribution outcome is due to the fund not accruing sufficient income to justify a payout during the period. This is a standard administrative disclosure and does not reflect any broader corporate strategic shift. Investor Takeaway: This is a routine fund administration event, and while income investors receive no payout, it holds no signal for the broader equity market. Rating Context: This is a mechanical liquidity event with no direct equity impact.

Routine mechanical filing. No equity signal. No portfolio action required.
