The Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in Flexible Exchange Options (FLEX Options) that reference the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (the Underlying ETF). FLEX Options are exchange-traded option contracts with uniquely customizable terms. Although guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the OCC), FLEX Options are still subject to counterparty risk with the OCC and may be less liquid than more traditional exchange-traded option contracts. Due to the unique mechanics of the Funds strategy, the return an investor can expect to receive from an investment in the Fund has characteristics that are distinct from many other investment vehicles. It is important that an investor understands these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund.

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.
Technological advances have allowed us to book a trip around the world in minutes, access bank accounts, transfer funds, check investments and buy stocks with a few clicks.
But there are still several industries that could be considered behind the curve in implementing digital technology. Buying a home in many cases is a physical paperwork jungle as is the healthcare industry, which is still reliant on fax machines, paper scripts and physical file cabinets.
At least in the healthcare industry, change is coming, and several companies are looking to establish themselves as the go-to provider of the new wave of digital healthcare technology. Companies including Accolade Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/accd#NASDAQ">ACCD</a>), Inovalon Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/inov#NASDAQ">INOV</a>), Health Catalyst Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hcat#NASDAQ">HCAT</a>) and Phreesia Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/phr#NYSE">PHR</a>) are investing millions on emerging digital healthcare solutions that medical groups and their patients are finally embracing. It&rsquo;s a potentially lucrative <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/">sector</a>, with the healthcare cloud computing market alone expected to reach $64.7 billion by 2025.
That increased embrace is being spurred on by a global pandemic that laid bare the problems the health <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/">sector</a> has been dealing with for decades. From increased bed occupancy to overworked healthcare workers, outdated systems put healthcare systems in critical care, drastically seeking technological data transformation to rescue it.&nbsp;
Public and institutional reluctance to adopt data transformation in the heavily regulated healthcare industry is now slowly shifting. The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME), an organization created to serve the professional development needs of chief information officers working in the healthcare industry, recently presented survey information showing that change is coming.
In the survey, more than 60% of healthcare IT executives say their organization is taking a hybrid approach to cloud operations &mdash; part cloud, part on-premise &mdash; with just under 18% saying they are not yet ready to make a move to the cloud. Nearly 10% say they are all in on the public cloud.&nbsp; Another 11% supported adopting the private cloud approach.
California-based Healthcare Triangle Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hcti#NASDAQ">HCTI</a>), a provider of cloud and data transformation solutions in healthcare and life sciences, says it is jumping on the digital movement by providing expertise in digital transformation, which encompasses the cloud, security and compliance, data lifecycle management, healthcare interoperability and clinical and business performance optimization.&nbsp;
&ldquo;With the healthcare cloud computing market growing, from selecting a cloud provider to managing the cloud platform, the healthcare industry is looking to solve key challenges,&rdquo; Healthcare Triangle Vice President for Client Success, Jason Polli said. &ldquo;Capturing the expected value from the move to the cloud requires healthcare IT leaders to manage their cloud platforms differently than they would do in a data center, combining best practices in software development and IT operations. They must also staff their transition to the cloud with the right talent.&quot;
Increased use of application program interfaces (APIs) can help meet patients&rsquo; goals on their data, with doctors gaining access to more information about their medical status while only sharing data necessary for their treatment.
Healthcare Triangle believes that the healthcare industry is just starting to see the real benefits of modern APIs and translation tools bringing health data together in a typical fashion with rapid adoption and integration of advanced cloud tools and analytics. Most importantly, the company is betting on a move toward true interoperability of health data shared seamlessly between organizations, without barriers, whether technological or geographical.

Transaction consideration totaled&nbsp;$15.0 million, consisting of:&nbsp;$10.0 million&nbsp;in cash; 57,587 Inotiv common shares having a value of&nbsp;$2.0 million&nbsp;based on the weighted average closing price of Company shares as reported by NASDAQ for the twenty trading-day period ending on September 29, 2021; and&nbsp;$3.0 million&nbsp;in unsecured promissory notes. 
&nbsp;
Inotiv expects PBI to bolster the Company&#39;s growing Boulder, Colorado, discovery operations, noting that PBI is currently expanding its facility space to accommodate approximately double their current business to support the growing demand for services.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&quot;The acquisition of PBI marks another milestone for Inotiv as we continue to execute on our strategy to build a complete range of contract research services that spans the entire drug discovery and preclinical development continuum,&quot; said John Sagartz, DVM, Ph.D., DACVP, Inotiv&#39;s Chief Strategy Officer. &quot;PBI&#39;s expertise and integrative approach to functional and physiological measurements, histological evaluations and biomarker analyses is complementary to our existing suite of services. This addition allows us to support and accelerate PBI&#39;s growth plans, while further expanding into more physiologic and pharmacologic offerings, enabling a wider range of clients to make informed decisions with confidence as they move toward their first-in-human clinical goals.&quot;
Craig Plato, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Plato BioPharma, added, &quot;We look forward to joining the team and broadening Inotiv&#39;s service offering with our decades of pharmaceutical, biotech industry and academic research experience. Our core values and collaborative approach align well, and our focus on rigorous scientific execution and dedication to delivering exceptional client experience will continue to be paramount. With Inotiv&#39;s support, we are excited to provide our current and future clients an even more robust level of service and support to their preclinical drug discovery and development programs.&quot;
The Company expects to retain all thirty-four existing PBI employees after transaction close.
A Current Report on Form 8-K containing further details regarding the transaction will be filed by Inotiv and made available on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission&#39;s EDGAR website.

Rumors

Inovalon Shares Hire Premarket; Bloomberg Reported Late Wednesday the Co Was Near a Sale to Nordic Capital, Insight Partners

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">After pulling data from Benzinga Pro</a> it seems like during Q2, Inovalon Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INOV#NASDAQ">INOV</a>) earned $24.24 million, a 3.89% increase from the preceding quarter. Inovalon Holdings also posted a total of $190.44 million in sales, a 7.49% increase since Q1. In Q1, Inovalon Holdings earned $23.33 million, and total sales reached $177.18 million. 
<h3>What Is Return On Capital Employed?</h3>
Return on Capital Employed is a measure of yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Changes in earnings and sales indicate shifts in a company's ROCE. A higher ROCE is generally representative of successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. A low or negative ROCE suggests the opposite. In Q2, Inovalon Holdings posted an ROCE of 0.03%.
Keep in mind, while ROCE is a good measure of a company's recent performance, it is not a highly reliable predictor of a company's earnings or sales in the near future. 
Return on Capital Employed is an important measurement of efficiency and a useful tool when comparing companies that operate in the same industry. A relatively high ROCE indicates a company may be generating profits that can be reinvested into more capital, leading to higher returns and growing EPS for shareholders. 
For Inovalon Holdings, the return on capital employed ratio shows the number of assets can actually help the company achieve higher returns, an important note investors will take into account when gauging the payoff from long-term financing strategies. 
<h3>Upcoming Earnings Estimate</h3>
Inovalon Holdings reported Q2 earnings per share at $0.19/share, which beat analyst predictions of $0.17/share.
