Investment Objective
The SoFi Enhanced Yield ETF (the “Fund”) seeks current income.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the 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.
Annual Fund Operating Expenses(1) (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | (1) | |
Management Fees | 0.49% | |
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% | |
Other Expenses (includes broker fee expenses)(2) | 0.12% | |
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.61% |
(1) | The Fund’s investment adviser, Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal” or the “Adviser”), a Tidal Financial Group company, will pay, or require a third-party to pay, all expenses incurred by the Fund (except for advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, as the case may be) excluding interest charges on any borrowings, 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, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and litigation expenses, and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses (collectively, the “Excluded Expenses”). | |
(2) | Other Expenses are attributable to broker fee expense. |
Expense 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 redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
$62 | $195 | $340 | $762 |
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 Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in total annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 330% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by combining a strategy of holding U.S. Treasury Bills and/or U.S. Treasury Bonds, with a “credit spread” option strategy to seek to generate enhanced yield. The Fund’s net asset holdings will generally be invested as follows:
● | 2-5% Cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills) |
● | 95-100% Treasury securities. |
● | Up to 90% Credit Spreads (using the Fund’s holdings of Treasury securities as collateral for the Fund’s investments in options). |
1
The Fund will invest in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury Bills and/or U.S. Treasury Bonds with a targeted portfolio duration of approximately one year and that the Adviser believes will generate annual interest income and capital gains. At the same time, the Fund will purchase (buys) and write (sells) put or call options on the following three major equity indexes: the S&P 500® Index, the NASDAQ 100 Index, and the Russell 2000 Index. This strategy is referred to as a “credit spread” or “vertical credit spread” strategy (described more below) and acts as an overlay on the Fund’s portfolio of U.S. government securities.
For the Fund’s credit spread strategy, the Fund enters into credit put spreads or credit call spreads based on the Adviser’s return versus risk assessment with respect to the broad stock market and the options market. The Adviser manages the Fund using its High Probability Options Strategy (“HiPOS” or the “Strategy”), by which it seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns for the Fund that are uncorrelated to both equity and fixed income markets by using an alternative trading strategy, and reducing the need to predict future market movements. For more information about HiPOS, see the section of the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds.”
Credit Spread Strategy Overview: The Fund employs a strategy referred to as a “credit spread” or “vertical credit spread.” More specifically, the strategy entails the simultaneous purchase and sale of options of the same type (puts or calls) with respect to the same index and with the same expiration date, but at different exercise (“strike”) prices. The Fund will pay premiums on options (puts or calls) that it purchases and will receive premiums when writing options (puts or calls) for a net credit (meaning the premium received is more than what is spent).
To enter into a credit spread, the Fund will sell a put or call (or both) contract and buy a put or call (or both) contract at the same time. These positions will have the same expiration dates and the same contract amounts. The Fund will enter into the same number of contracts for the long and short legs of each spread with the same expiration dates. However, the positions will have different strike prices, which creates a difference in the price of each option (i.e., a “credit”).
The maximum gain for the Fund on any given credit spread is equal to the net premium the Fund receives. The maximum potential loss for the Fund for any given credit spread is equal to the difference between the strike prices of the options on the same index multiplied by the number of contracts or units subject to the option minus net premiums received.
Options Terminology:
In-the-money options are where the price of the underlying asset is above the strike price for calls and below the strike price for puts.
Out-of-the-money (“OTM”) options are where the price of the underlying asset is below the strike price for calls and above the strike price for puts.
For more information on credit spreads and additional options terminology, see the section of the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund.”
The Fund’s returns will be driven by the interest and capital gains derived from its portfolio of U.S. government securities and its credit spread strategy (e.g., by the difference between the premiums received and paid on these options).
The Adviser analyzes market data to decide when and at what levels to place spread trades for the Fund. The Fund’s holdings may include bullish, bearish, or neutral credit spreads. Due to the Fund’s design, when appropriate, it can hold neutral positions that lean both bullish and bearish simultaneously. For more information about the Fund’s positions during bullish, bearish, and neutral stances, see the section of the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds.”
The Adviser constructs a portfolio for the Fund that it believes is not highly dependent on broad stock market fluctuations. This is because the Fund uses OTM credit spreads, which can yield positive returns even when an underlying index doesn’t move much. The strategy also proves beneficial if, at expiration, the strike price of these credit spreads remains OTM. In a “bullish” stance, the Fund typically sees positive returns unless the stock market value nears or falls below the strike price. Conversely, in a “bearish” stance, it benefits unless the stock market value nears or exceeds the strike price.
All option positions held by the Fund are exchange-traded and collateralized with cash or cash equivalents (for example, U.S. Treasury Bills, U.S. Treasury Bonds and money market fund shares).
The Adviser seeks to provide returns for the Fund by employing the credit spread strategy to construct a portfolio of options that the Adviser considers moderately OTM and which it believes have a high probability of successfully expiring worthless. The Adviser determines the Fund’s exposure to each credit spread by first evaluating the risk metrics associated with the relevant position, including the effects of market volatility on equity indexes. The Adviser then calculates potential returns. The Fund will not establish a credit spread position unless the Adviser concludes that the potential rate of return exceeds the probability of a potential loss.
The Adviser employs proprietary analysis techniques to continually monitor the Fund’s credit spreads for potential exit triggers (e.g., the increased probability of an option being exercised in the money) to ascertain if a buyback of a written option is needed. In addition, if markets move favorably early enough in the lifecycle of a trade, the Adviser may exit one or both sides of the relevant position to secure a gain and redeploy the capital at the next market opportunity. For more information about the Adviser’s analysis techniques, see the section of the Fund’s prospectus titled “Additional Information about the Funds”.
2
Notwithstanding the Fund’s investment in options, the Adviser intends to create a risk-defined options portfolio by simultaneously purchasing and selling options of the same type in order to limit the Fund’s exposure to traditional leverage risks associated with investing in options.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in U.S. government securities. In pursuing the credit spread strategy, the Fund will also invest in put and call options on major equity indexes that generally have an exposure of up to 90% of the Fund’s net assets. For more information about the Fund’s allocation to credit spreads, see the section of the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information about the Funds.”
The Fund is “non-diversified” for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which means that the Fund may invest in fewer issuers at any one time than a diversified fund.
Principal Investment Risks
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its investment objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund — Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund.”
Written Options Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of writing (selling) options (also referred to as a short position) if the price of the written option instrument increases in value between the date the Fund writes the option and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position. The Fund’s losses are potentially large in a written put transaction and potentially unlimited in a written call transaction.). Because of the Fund’s strategy of coupling written and purchased puts and call options with the same expiration date and different strike prices, the Fund expects that the maximum potential loss for the Fund for any given credit spread is equal to the difference between the strike prices minus any net premium received. Nonetheless, because up to 90% of the Fund’s portfolio may be subject to this risk - the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters or events, pandemic diseases, terrorism, regulatory events, and government controls.
Options Risk. Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks. The Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on an option if changes in its value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the underlying securities. If the Fund is not able to sell an option held in its portfolio, it would have to exercise the option to realize any profit and would incur transaction costs upon the purchase or sale of the underlying securities. Ownership of options involves the payment of premiums, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
Fixed Income Securities Risk. The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to changes in an issuer’s credit rating or market perceptions about the creditworthiness of an issuer. Generally, fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, and longer-term and lower rated securities are more volatile than shorter-term and higher rated securities.
Interest Rate Risk. Generally fixed income securities decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall, with longer-term securities being more sensitive than shorter-term securities. For example, the price of a security with a one-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 1% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Generally, the longer the maturity and duration of a bond or fixed rate loan, the more sensitive it is to this risk. Falling interest rates also create the potential for a decline in the Fund’s income. These risks are greater during periods of rising inflation.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives include instruments and contracts that are based on and valued in relation to one or more underlying securities, financial benchmarks, indices, or other reference obligations or measures of value. Major types of derivatives include options. Depending on how the Fund uses derivatives and the relationship between the market value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, the use of derivatives could increase or decrease the Fund’s exposure to the risks of the underlying instrument. Using derivatives can have a leveraging effect if the Adviser is unable to set an appropriate spread between two options held by the Fund and increase Fund volatility. In that event, a small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Derivatives transactions can be highly illiquid and difficult to unwind or value, and changes in the value of a derivative held by the Fund may not correlate with the value of the underlying instrument or the Fund’s other investments. Many of the risks applicable to trading the instruments underlying derivatives are also applicable to derivatives trading. Financial reform laws have changed many aspects of financial regulation applicable to derivatives. Once implemented, new regulations, including margin, clearing, and trade execution requirements, may make derivatives more costly, may limit their availability, may present different risks or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of these instruments. The extent and impact of these regulations are not yet fully known and may not be known for some time.
3
Credit Risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a debt security held by the Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Fund defaults or is downgraded or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of the Fund’s portfolio will typically decline.
The remaining principal risks are presented in alphabetical order. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
ETF Risks.
◦ | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. | |
◦ | Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund’s investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund (e.g., options contracts). In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may have less cash efficiency and pay out higher annual capital gain distributions to shareholders than if the in-kind redemption process was used. | |
◦ | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. | |
◦ | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. Because securities held by the Fund may trade on foreign exchanges that are closed when the Fund’s primary listing exchange is open, the Fund is likely to experience premiums and discounts greater than those of ETFs holding only domestic securities. | |
◦ | Trading. Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings. These adverse effects on liquidity for Shares, in turn, could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. |
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the securities in its portfolio. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.
4
Implied Volatility Risk. When the Fund sells an option, it gains the amount of the premium it receives, but also incurs a liability representing the value of the option it has sold until the option is either exercised and finishes “in the money,” meaning it has value and can be sold, or the option expires worthless, or the expiration of the option is “rolled,” or extended forward. The value of the options in which the Fund invests is based partly on the volatility used by market participants to price such options (i.e., implied volatility). Accordingly, increases in the implied volatility of such options will cause the value of such options to increase (even if the prices of the options’ underlying stocks do not change), which will result in a corresponding increase in the liabilities of the Fund under such options and thus decrease the Fund’s NAV.
Index Risk. If a derivative is linked to the performance of an index, the derivative will be subject to the risks associated with changes in that index.
Leveraging Risk. Derivative instruments held by the Fund involve inherent leverage, whereby small cash deposits allow the Fund to hold contracts with greater face value, which may magnify the Fund’s losses. Adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset, reference rate or index can result in loss of an amount substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative. In addition, 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 redemption obligations.
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of the Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing the Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring the Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations.
Management and Strategy Risk. The value of your investment depends on the judgment of the Adviser about the value and risks associated with its credit spread strategy, including its ability to correctly analyze the impact of volatility on the underlying equity indexes. The Adviser may be incorrect in its assessment of the potential rate of return of one or more credit spreads or may incorrectly forecast the outlook for an index or the markets in general with regard to whether make a credit put spread (bullish position) or a credit call spread (bearish position). The Adviser’s proprietary techniques to monitor the Fund’s credit spreads for potential exit triggers may not work as expected, thereby increasing the risks to the Fund of maintaining these positions through expiration. Like all managers, the Adviser activities are subject to operational risks, which may adversely impact the management of the Fund.
Newer Fund Risk. The Fund is newer with a limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.
Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified,” which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund will generally have up to 15 credit spreads at any given time, with up to 25% exposure to a single equity index credit spread. Investment in a limited number of equity indexes exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential losses than if its assets were diversified among a greater number of indexes.
Recent Market Events Risk. U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, armed conflict, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite efforts to address market disruptions.
Regulatory Risk. Changes in the laws or regulations of the United States or other countries, including any changes to applicable tax laws and regulations, could impair the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective and could increase the operating expenses of the Fund.
U.S. Government Securities Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates during the period covered by the table above and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Shares through tax-deferred or other tax-advantaged arrangements, such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”). In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return figures for the same period due to a capital loss that occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Purchase and Sale of Shares
The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units,” which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities (the “Deposit Securities”) and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.
Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (the “bid” price) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (the “ask” price) when buying or selling Shares in the secondary market. This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “bid-ask spread.”
Recent information regarding the Fund’s NAV, market price, how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a premium or discount, and bid-ask spreads can be found on the Fund’s website at www.sofi.com/invest/etfs/thta.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an “Intermediary”), the Adviser or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training, or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary’s website for more information.
