SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF
(Cboe – MAGX)
May 1, 2025
Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund’s prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund’s prospectus, reports to shareholders, and other information about the Fund online at https://www.roundhillinvestments.com/etf/magx. You can also get this information at no cost by calling (855) 561-5728 or by sending an email request to etfs@roundhillinvestments.com. The Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, both dated May 1, 2025, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus.
The Fund seeks daily leveraged investment results and is intended to be used as a short-term trading vehicle. The terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next trading day. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The Fund is very different from most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Investors should note that:
1. | The Fund is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund magnifies the performance of the underlying reference asset. |
2. | The pursuit of its daily investment objective means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a full trading day will be the product of a series of leveraged returns, for each trading day during the relevant period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the volatility of the underlying reference asset may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the reference asset. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods less than a full trading day will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated daily leveraged investment objective and the performance of the reference asset for the full trading day. During periods of high volatility, the Fund may not perform as expected and the Fund may have losses when an investor may have expected gains if the Fund is held for a period that is different than one trading day. |
The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Fund should:
1. | understand the risks associated with the use of leveraged strategies; |
2. | understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results; and |
3. | intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. |
Investors who do not understand the Fund, or do not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments, should not buy the Fund.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its daily leveraged investment objective and an investment in the Fund could lose money, including the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day. The Fund is not a complete investment program.
The Fund’s investment adviser will not attempt to position the Fund’s portfolio to ensure that the Fund does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day.
Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF
Important Information About the Fund
The Roundhill Daily 2X Long Magnificent Seven ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2X) the performance of the Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (the “Magnificent Seven ETF”). As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund’s objective is to magnify the daily performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF. The return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of its return for each day compounded over the period. The Fund’s returns for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from 200% of the return of the Magnificent Seven ETF for the same period. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the returns of the Magnificent Seven ETF are positive. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Magnificent Seven ETF, and leveraged exposure each increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods when the Magnificent Seven ETF experiences higher volatility, the Magnificent Seven ETF’s volatility may affect the Fund’s return as much as or more than the return of the Magnificent Seven ETF.
The Fund presents different risks than other types of funds. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the Magnificent Seven ETF loses more than 50% in one day.
Investment Objective
The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of two times (2X) the daily performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a trading day.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund (“Fund Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.
1
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees(1) | 0.95% |
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
Other Expenses | 0.00% |
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses | 0.01% |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.96% |
Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement(2) | (0.01)% |
Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.95% |
(1) | The investment advisory agreement between the Trust and Roundhill Financial Inc. (“Roundhill”) utilizes a unitary fee arrangement pursuant to which Roundhill will pay all operating expenses of the Fund, except Roundhill’s management fees, interest charges on any borrowings (including net interest expenses incurred in connection with an investment in reverse repurchase agreements or futures contracts), dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments (including any net account or similar fees charged by futures commission merchants), accrued deferred tax liability and extraordinary expenses. |
(2) | Pursuant to a contractual agreement, the Fund’s investment adviser has agreed to waive its management fee and reimburse certain expenses to prevent the sum of the Fund’s management fee and acquired fund fees and expenses from exceeding 0.95% until February 28, 2027. This agreement may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Trust at any time, upon 60 days’ prior written notice, or by the Fund’s investment adviser, only after February 28, 2027. |
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, and then sell all of your Fund Shares at the end of those periods. This example assumes that the fee waiver and expense agreement described will be terminated following February 28, 2027. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Year 1 | Year 3 | Year 5 | Year 10 |
$97 | $303 | $525 | $1,166 |
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the period February 28, 2024 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2024, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks daily leveraged investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2X) the performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF over a single trading day. The Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of time different than a trading day. The terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next trading day.

The Magnificent Seven ETF is an actively managed ETF that seeks, as its investment objective, the growth of capital. Roundhill Financial Inc. (“Roundhill” or the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to Magnificent Seven ETF, as well as serving as investment adviser to the Fund. The Magnificent Seven ETF offers exposure to, in equal weight following each rebalance, the seven stocks commonly referred to as “Magnificent Seven.” It is currently anticipated that the Magnificent Seven ETF’s holdings will not change over the course of the year. However, in the event that different securities are understood to comprise the “Magnificent Seven,” the Magnificent Seven ETF’s portfolio may change to reflect that understanding. As of April 1, 2025, the Magnificent Seven ETF’s portfolio was composed of the following securities: Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple Inc., Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation and Tesla Inc. At each portfolio rebalance, the Adviser equally weights each security.
In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest directly in shares of the Magnificent Seven ETF and in derivatives instruments, such as swap agreements and futures contracts, that provide exposure to the returns of the Magnificent Seven ETF. Such derivative instruments may provide the desired exposure by utilizing one or more of the following as their reference asset: (i) the Magnificent Seven ETF; (2) a basket of or the individual securities comprising the Magnificent Seven ETF; or (3) an index of securities that is substantially similar to the holdings of the Magnificent Seven ETF.
The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of the Magnificent Seven ETF. At the close of the markets each trading day, Roundhill rebalances the Fund’s portfolio so that its exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The impact of the Magnificent Seven ETF’s movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if the value of the Magnificent Seven ETF has increased on a given day, net assets of the Fund should increase, meaning that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the Magnificent Seven ETF has decreased in value on a given day, net assets of the Fund should decrease, meaning the Fund’s exposure will need to be decreased. This re-positioning strategy typically results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold ETFs and money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements.
The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all times, consistent with its stated investment objective, but may not always have precise exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF (for instance, if the Fund holds derivatives contracts that reference the securities held by the Magnificent Seven ETF or an index of securities that is substantially similar to the holdings of the Magnificent Seven ETF). While the Fund’s exposure would be substantially similar to direct exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF, the basket of securities or index it uses as the reference asset may assign slightly different weights to the stocks comprising the Magnificent Seven ETF.
The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in the stocks of a particular industry or group of industries) in the industry or group of industries comprising the information technology sector.
3
The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).
Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 2X the return of the Magnificent Seven ETF over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the Magnificent Seven ETF’s volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day.
Principal Risks
As with all investments, there are certain risks of investing in the Fund. Fund Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by real or perceived adverse economic, political, and regulatory factors or market developments, changes in interest rates, disruptions to trade, impositions of tariffs and perceived trends in securities prices. Fund Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, regulatory actions, political changes, diplomatic developments, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of Fund Shares, the liquidity of an investment, and may result in increased market volatility. During any such events, Fund Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to their net asset value, the bid/ask spread on Fund Shares may widen and the returns on investment may fluctuate.
AGGRESSIVE INVESTMENT RISK. The Fund employs investment strategies that involve greater risks than the strategies used by typical funds. The Fund’s use of leverage and derivatives could result in a shareholder losing the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.
LEVERAGE RISK. The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be approximately reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in the market value of shares of the Magnificent Seven ETF, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF declines more than 50% in a single trading day. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with the Magnificent Seven ETF.
Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from two times (2X) the Magnificent Seven ETF’s performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance daily. For a leveraged fund, if adverse daily performance of the reference asset reduces the amount of a shareholder’s investment, any further adverse daily performance will lead to a smaller dollar loss because the shareholder’s investment had already been reduced by the prior adverse performance. Equally, however, if favorable daily performance of the reference asset increases the amount of a shareholder’s investment, the dollar amount lost due to future adverse performance will increase because the shareholder’s investment has increased.
4
The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced as the volatility and holding period of the Fund increases. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of the Magnificent Seven ETF during a shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The chart below provides examples of how the volatility of the Magnificent Seven ETF could affect the Fund’s performance. The chart illustrates the impact of two factors that affect the Fund’s performance – Magnificent Seven ETF volatility and Magnificent Seven ETF returns. The Magnificent Seven ETF returns show the percentage change in the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF over the specified period, while the Magnificent Seven ETF’s volatility is a statistical measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the returns during that time period. As illustrated below, even if returns of the Magnificent Seven ETF over two equal time periods is identical, different volatility in the Magnificent Seven ETF (i.e., fluctuations in the rates of return) during the two time periods could result in drastically different Fund performance for the two time periods because of compounding daily returns during the time periods.
Fund performance for periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: (i) Magnificent Seven ETF volatility; (ii) Magnificent Seven ETF performance; (iii) period of time; (iv) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; (v) other Fund expenses; and (vi) dividends or interest paid by the Magnificent Seven ETF. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of Magnificent Seven ETF volatility and Magnificent Seven ETF performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (a) no dividends were paid by the Magnificent Seven ETF; (b) there were no Fund expenses; and (c) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher Magnificent Seven ETF volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from two times (2X) the performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF.
As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if the Magnificent Seven ETF provided no return over a one-year period during which the Magnificent Seven ETF experienced annualized volatility of 25%. If the Magnificent Seven ETF’s annualized volatility were to rise to 75%, the hypothetical loss for a one-year period widens to approximately 43.1%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s return is flat. For instance, if the Magnificent Seven ETF’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 63.3% of its value, even if the cumulative Magnificent Seven ETF’s return for the year was 0%. The volatility of the instruments that reflect the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Magnificent Seven ETF.

Areas shaded red represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than two times (2X) the performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF and those shaded green represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than two times (2X) the performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF. The Fund’s actual returns may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in the “Daily Correlation/Tracking Risk” below.

The annualized historical volatility rate of the Magnificent Seven ETF for the period from its inception on April 10, 2023 to March 31, 2025 was 34.70%. The annualized performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF for the period from its inception on April 10, 2023 to March 31, 2025 was 37.44%. Historical Magnificent Seven ETF volatility and performance are not necessarily indications of what volatility and performance of the Magnificent Seven ETF will be in the future.
For information regarding the effects of volatility and Magnificent Seven ETF performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Understanding the Risks and Long-Term Performance of Daily Objective Funds – the Impact of Compounding” in the Fund’s statutory prospectus.
Intra-Day Investment Risk. The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market is a function of the difference between the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF at the market close on the first trading day and the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF at the time of purchase. If the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF increases in value, the Fund’s net assets will increase by approximately two times the amount of the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if the market value of the Magnificent Seven ETF declines in value, the Fund’s net assets will decline by approximately two times the amount of the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases Fund Shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the Fund’s stated multiple (2X) of the Magnificent Seven ETF.
6
If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the Magnificent Seven ETF experiences a significant decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its portfolio appropriately.
Daily Correlation/Tracking Risk. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to the Magnificent Seven ETF and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. To achieve a high degree of correlation with the Magnificent Seven ETF, the Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage consistent with its daily leveraged investment objective. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to the Magnificent Seven ETF increases on days when shares of the Magnificent Seven ETF are volatile near the close of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and extreme volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
The Fund may also utilize derivatives that do not use the Magnificent Seven ETF as the reference asset. Under such circumstances, the Fund’s returns may not directly correlate with the returns of the Magnificent Seven ETF. Additionally, the Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective due to fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly, income items, valuation methodology, accounting standards and disruptions or illiquidity in the markets for the securities or derivatives held by the Fund. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to the Magnificent Seven ETF. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions to improve the tax efficiency or to comply with various regulatory restrictions, either of which may negatively impact the Fund’s correlation to the Magnificent Seven ETF.
LIQUIDITY RISK. The market for derivatives that reference the Magnificent Seven ETF may be subject to periods of illiquidity. During such times it may be difficult or impossible to buy or sell a position at the desired price. Market disruptions or volatility can also make it difficult to find a counterparty willing to transact at a reasonable price and sufficient size. Illiquid markets may cause losses, which could be significant. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity, may make its positions more difficult to liquidate, and may increase the losses incurred while trying to do so. Such large positions also may impact the price of derivatives on the Magnificent Seven ETF.
SWAP AGREEMENTS RISK. The Fund will utilize swap agreements to derive its exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF. Swap agreements may involve greater risks than direct investment in securities as they may be leveraged and are subject to credit risk, counterparty risk and valuation risk. A swap agreement could result in losses if the underlying reference or asset does not perform as anticipated. In addition, many swaps trade over-the-counter and may be considered illiquid. It may not be possible for the Fund to liquidate a swap position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses.
MAGNIFICENT SEVEN ETF RISKS. The Fund will have significant exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF through its investments in shares of the Magnificent Seven ETF and investments in financial instruments that provide exposure to the Magnificent Seven ETF and the securities it holds. Accordingly, the Fund will subject to the risks of the Magnificent Seven ETF, set forth below. In addition to these risks, the Magnificent Seven ETF is also subject to the following risks to which the Fund is also subject, which are described within the section entitled “Principal Risks”: Active Management Risk, Active Market Risk, Asset Class Risk, Concentration Risk, Cybersecurity Risk, Information Technology Risk, Operational Risk and Structural ETF Risk.
7
EQUITY SECURITIES RISK. Equity securities are subject to changes in value, and their values may be more volatile than those of other asset classes. Equity securities prices fluctuate for several reasons, including changes in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general condition of the relevant equity market, such as market volatility, or when political or economic events affecting an issuer occur. Common stock prices may be particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, as the cost of capital rises and borrowing costs increase. Common stocks generally subject their holders to more risks than preferred stocks and debt securities because common stockholders’ claims are subordinated to those of holders of preferred stocks and debt securities upon the bankruptcy of the issuer.
ISSUER RISK. The performance of an ETF depends on the performance of individual securities to which the ETF has exposure. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of an issuer of those securities may cause the value of the securities to decline. There is no guarantee that an issuer that paid dividends in the past will continue to do so in the future or will continue paying dividends at the same level.
LARGE CAPITALIZATION COMPANIES RISK. Large capitalization companies may be less able than smaller capitalization companies to adapt to changing market conditions. Large capitalization companies may be more mature and subject to more limited growth potential compared with smaller capitalization companies. During different market cycles, the performance of large capitalization companies has trailed the overall performance of the broader securities markets.
LEGISLATION AND LITIGATION RISK. Legislation or litigation that affects the value of assets or securities held by the Magnificent Seven ETF may reduce the value of the Fund. From time to time, various legislative initiatives are proposed that may have a negative impact on certain assets or securities in which the Magnificent Seven ETF invests. In addition, litigation regarding any of the assets or securities owned by the Magnificent Seven ETF may negatively impact the value of the Shares. Such legislation or litigation may cause the Fund to lose value.
ACTIVE MANAGEMENT RISK. The Fund is actively-managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser makes for the Fund. Such judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and the strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform as compared to other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, or could have negative returns.
ACTIVE MARKET RISK. Although Fund Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Fund Shares will develop or be maintained. Fund Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Fund’s net asset value. Securities, including Fund Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Fund Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments.
8
Asset Class Risk. Securities and other assets in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes.
CONCENTRATION RISK. The Fund may be susceptible to an increased risk of loss, including losses due to adverse events that affect the Fund’s investments more than the market as a whole, to the extent that the Fund’s investments are concentrated in the securities and/or other assets of a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, market segment or asset class.
COUNTERPARTY RISK. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed.
CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS RISK. Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. As a means to fight inflation, which remains at elevated levels, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised interest rates; however, the Federal Reserve has recently lowered interest rates and may continue to do so. U.S. regulators have proposed several changes to market and issuer regulations which would directly impact the Fund, and any regulatory changes could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment strategies or make certain investments. Recent and potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Additionally, challenges in commercial real estate markets, including rising interest rates, declining valuations and increasing vacancies, could have a broader impact on financial markets. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad, have and may continue to have an adverse impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s investments and operations. The change in administration resulting from the 2024 United States national elections could result in significant impacts to international trade relations, tax and immigration policies, and other aspects of the national and international political and financial landscape, which could affect, among other things, inflation and the securities markets generally. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities have and could continue to have a significant impact on certain Fund investments as well as Fund performance and liquidity. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes, including the imposition of tariffs, and other matters. For example, the United States has imposed trade barriers and restrictions on China. In addition, the Chinese government is engaged in a longstanding dispute with Taiwan, continually threatening an invasion. If the political climate between the United States and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt invading Taiwan, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down. A public health crisis and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks may cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects. As the COVID-19 global pandemic illustrated, such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. Additionally, cyber security breaches of both government and non-government entities could have negative impacts on infrastructure and the ability of such entities, including the Fund, to operate properly. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets.

Cybersecurity Risk. Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, sub-adviser, distributor and other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions, negatively impact the Fund’s business operations and/or potentially result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems of the Fun’s other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests.
DERIVATIVES RISK. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet regulatory or contractual requirements for derivatives. The use of derivatives can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on Fund Share price.
ETF RISK. The Fund may invest significantly in ETFs. The value of an ETF held by the Fund will fluctuate over time based on fluctuations in the values of the assets held by the ETF, which may be affected by changes in general economic conditions, expectations for future growth and profits, interest rates and the supply and demand for those assets. When the Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear a proportionate share of the ETF’s expenses. Brokerage, tax and other expenses may negatively impact the performance of the ETF and, in turn, the value of the Fund Shares. An ETF that tracks an index may not exactly match the performance of the index due to cash drag, differences between the portfolio of the ETF and the components of the index, expenses and other factors.
10
FUTURES CONTRACT RISK. The Fund may utilize futures contracts. Risks of futures contracts include: (i) an imperfect correlation between the value of the futures contract and the underlying asset; (ii) possible lack of a liquid secondary market; (iii) the inability to close a futures contract when desired; (iv) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which may be unlimited; (v) an obligation for the Fund to make daily cash payments to maintain its required margin, particularly at times when the Fund may have insufficient cash; and (vi) unfavorable execution prices from rapid selling. Unlike equities, which typically entitle the holder to a continuing stake in a corporation, futures contracts normally specify a certain date for settlement in cash based on the reference asset. As the futures contracts approach expiration, they may be replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” If the market for these contracts is in “contango,” meaning that the prices of futures contracts in the nearer months are lower than the price of contracts in the distant months, the sale of the near-term month contract would be at a lower price than the longer-term contract, resulting in a cost to “roll” the futures contract. The actual realization of a potential roll cost will be dependent upon the difference in price of the near and distant contract. The costs associated with rolling futures contracts may have a significant adverse impact on the performance of the Fund.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES RISK. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments, frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Information technology companies are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action.
Non-Diversification Risk. As a “non-diversified” fund, the Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds. To the extent the Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of the Fund Shares may be more volatile than the values of shares of more diversified funds.
Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.
Structural ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF. Accordingly, it is subject to certain risks associated with its unique structure.
11
Cash Transactions Risk. The Fund expects to effect a portion of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. Paying redemption proceeds in cash rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may require the Fund to dispose of or sell portfolio securities or other assets at an inopportune time to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher or lower annual capital gains distributions than ETFs that redeem in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions will require the Fund to incur brokerage expenses when it buys and sells its portfolio investments and may also cause the Fund’s Shares to trade in the market at greater bid-ask spreads and greater premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV. Furthermore, the Fund may not be able to execute cash transactions for creation and redemption purposes at the same price used to determine the Fund’s NAV. To the extent that the maximum additional charge for creation or redemption transactions is insufficient to cover the execution shortfall, the Fund’s performance could be negatively impacted.
Market Participants Risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those Authorized Participants is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, Fund Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting. The Fund may also rely on a small number of third-party market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Fund Shares but such market makers are under no obligation to do so. Decisions by Authorized Participants or market makers to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers or any issues disrupting the Authorized Participants’ ability to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s net asset value and the price at which Fund Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in value of Fund Shares. This reduced effectiveness could result in Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to net asset value and also in greater than normal intraday bid-ask spreads Fund Shares.
Costs of Buying and Selling Fund Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Fund Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Fund Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Fund Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.
Premium/Discount Risk. As with all ETFs, Fund Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of Fund Shares in the secondary market may differ from the Fund’s daily net asset value per share and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the net asset value per share (premium) or less than the net asset value per share (discount). If a shareholder purchases Fund Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the net asset value or sells Fund Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the net asset value, the shareholder may pay more for, or receive less than, the underlying value of the Fund Shares, respectively. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.
12
Trading Risks. Although Fund Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Fund Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Fund Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Fund Shares. Trading in Fund Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange’s “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.
VALUATION RISK. The Fund may hold securities or other assets that may be valued on the basis of factors other than market quotations. This may occur because the asset or security does not trade on a centralized exchange, or in times of market turmoil or reduced liquidity. There are multiple methods that can be used to value a portfolio holding when market quotations are not readily available. The value established for any portfolio holding at a point in time might differ from what would be produced using a different methodology or if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio holdings that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” assets or securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their valuations from one day to the next than if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell or close out a portfolio position for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio position is sold or closed out at a discount to the valuation established by the Fund at that time. The Fund’s ability to value investments may be impacted by technological issues or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue (or redeem) Fund Shares to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of Fund Shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are conducted in exchange for the deposit or delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash.
Individual Fund Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange, other national securities exchanges, electronic crossing networks and other alternative trading systems through your broker-dealer at market prices. Because Fund Shares trade at market prices rather than at net asset value (“NAV”), Fund Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). When buying or selling Fund Shares in the secondary market, you may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Fund Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Fund Shares (ask) (the “bid-ask spread”). Recent information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available at https://www.roundhillinvestments.com/etf/MAGX.
Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions are expected to be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income and/or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account. Any withdrawals made from such tax-advantaged arrangement may be taxable to you.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase Fund Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, the Fund’s distributor, may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
