Disclosures

For prospectus, click here: TSPY Prospectus

The Fund’s shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objectives. The Fund invests in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index, including SPX and XSP options. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of companies that comprised the Index, even though it does not own shares of companies in the Index. The Fund will have exposure to declines in the Index. The Fund is subject to potential losses if the Index loses value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund. By virtue of the Fund’s investments in options contracts that are based on the value of the Index, the Fund may also be subject to an indirect investment risk, an index trading risk & an S&P 500 Index Risk.

Due to the short time until their expiration, 0DTE options are more sensitive to sudden price movements and market volatility than options with more time until expiration. Because of this, the timing of trades utilizing 0DTE options becomes more critical. Even a slight delay in the execution of 0DTE trades can significantly impact the outcome of the trade. 0DTE options may also suffer from low liquidity, making it more difficult for the Fund to enter into its positions each morning at desired prices. The bid-ask spreads on 0DTE options can be wider than with traditional options, increasing the Fund's transaction costs and negatively affecting its returns. These risks may negatively impact the performance of the fund.

The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the Fund and is not a representation of the Fund's total return. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying the most recent distribution by 12 in order to annualize it, and then dividing by the Fund's NAV.

30-day SEC Yield is based on a formula mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that calculates a fund's hypothetical annualized income, as a percentage of its assets. A security's income, for the purposes of this calculation, is based on the current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or projected dividend yield (for stocks) of the fund's holdings over a trailing 30-day period. This hypothetical income will differ (at times, significantly) from the fund's actual experience; as a result, income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Return of Capital (ROC) refers to a portion of a distribution that an ETF, mutual fund, or other investment may pay to investors that comes from the original principal (or initial investment) rather than from earnings, profits, or capital gains. The return of capital for this most recent distribution was estimated to be 100%.

A final determination of the tax character of distributions paid by the Funds will not be known until the completion of the Funds’ fiscal year and there can be no assurance as to the portions of each Fund’s distributions that will constitute return of capital and/or dividend income. The final determination of the tax character of distributions paid by the Funds in 2024 will be reported to shareholders in January 2025 on Form 1099-DIV.

Investing in securities involves risk including the loss of principal.
