AdvisorShares STAR Global Buy-Write ETF
The fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that is primarily a "fund of funds". It invests in ETFs and exchange-traded notes ("ETNs") that seek to track a diversified basket of global indices and investment sectors that meet certain selection criteria established by the sub-advisor. It also may invest, subject to the same selection criteria, in exchange-traded products that invest directly in commodities or currencies and that are registered only pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (collectively with ETFs and ETNs, "ETPs").
