Effects of 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 da’'s returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of CRCL’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 and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.

The chart below provides examples of how CRCL volatility and its return could affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following factors: a) CRCL volatility; b) CRCL performance; c) period of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to CRCL. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of CRCL volatility and CRCL performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to CRCL; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) 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 volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of CRCL.

During periods of higher CRCL volatility, the volatility of CRCL may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of CRCL. The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL during a shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.

As shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if CRCL provided no return over a one-year period during which CRCL experienced annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if CRCL’s return is flat. For instance, if CRCL’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was 0%. Areas shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return less than 200% of the performance of CRCL and those shaded green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to return more than 200% of the performance of CRCL. The table below is not a representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk” below. 

For information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment Techniques and Policies.”

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

The Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity, valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of theinancnt initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates rise.

Call Options. The use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, is actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts inIch the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument. However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.

Counterparty Risk. A counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective.

In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the daily performance of CRCL, it is important for investors to understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps may negatively impact investment results after fees and expenses.

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 value of CRCL at the market close on the first trading day and the value of CRCL at the time of purchase. If CRCL gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if CRCL declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the Fund’s stated multiple of CRCL.

If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”) prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant losses.

Market Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

Underlying Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

Financial Technology Sector Risk. FinTech companies may face competition from larger and more established firms, and a FinTech company may not currently or in the future derive any revenue from disruptive technologies. In addition, FinTech companies may not be able to capitalize on their disruptive technologies if they face political and/or legal attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national governments.

Money Market Instrument Risk. The Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments may lose money.

Liquidity Risk. Holdings of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains, or achieving a high correlation with CRCL. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that CRCL value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the CRCL. Under such circumstances, the market for CRCL may lack sufficient liquidity for all market partici’ants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securiinancenancial instruments and the Fund's transactions could exacerbate the price changes of CRCL and may impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.

In certain cases, the market for CRCL and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity for all market partici’ants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts. Further, the’Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price of CRCL and correlated derivative instruments.

Equity Securities Risk. Publicly issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in common stock of CRCL does not provide leveraged exposure to CRCL and, as a result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of CRCL to a greater extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment objective.

Tax Risk. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of Additional Information for more information.
