Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Affirm Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AFRM) (“AFRM” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to AFRM regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of AFRM, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of AFRM increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of AFRM,

  current income from the option premiums, and
  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of AFRM.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of AppLovin Corporation (Nasdaq: APP) (“APP” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to APP regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of APP, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of APP increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of APP,

  current income from the option premiums, and

  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of APP.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract. 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

 

 

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

Prospectus [Line Items]  
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of the ADR of ARM Holdings plc (Nasdaq: ARM) (“ARM” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to ARM regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of ARM, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of ARM increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of ARM,

  current income from the option premiums, and

  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of ARM.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.
  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

    1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of AVGO,

  current income from the option premiums, and

  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of AVGO.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.

  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

YieldMax(R) CRWD Option Income Strategy ETF  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRWD) (“CRWD” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to CRWD regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of CRWD, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of CRWD increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of CRWD,

  current income from the option premiums, and

  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of CRWD.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  und shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) (“GME” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to GME regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of GME, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of GME increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of GME,

  current income from the option premiums, and

  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of GME.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.

 

  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

 

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.
  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).
  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.
  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

Prospectus [Line Items]  
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Hims & Hers Health Inc. (NYSE: HIMS) (“HIMS” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to HIMS regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of HIMS, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of HIMS increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of HIMS,

  current income from the option premiums, and
  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of HIMS.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.

  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.

  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.

  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.

  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).

  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.

  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.

  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.

  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.

  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).

  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.

  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.

  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

YieldMax(R) LLY Option Income Strategy ETF  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) (“LLY” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to LLY regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of LLY, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of LLY increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of LLY,
  current income from the option premiums, and
  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of LLY.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.
  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.
  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.
  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.
  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.
  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.
  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.
  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).
  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.
  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.
  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) (“RDDT” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to RDDT regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of RDDT, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of RDDT increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of RDDT,
  current income from the option premiums, and
  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of RDDT.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.
  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.
  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.
  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.
  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.
  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.
  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.
  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).
  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.
  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.
  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

Prospectus [Line Items]  
Strategy [Heading] Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks current income while providing indirect exposure to the share price (i.e., the price returns) of Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE: SPOT) (“SPOT” or the “Underlying Security”), which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains. The Fund will employ its investment strategy as it relates to SPOT regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not take temporary defensive positions during such periods. As further described below, the Fund primarily uses either a synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to provide income and indirect exposure to the share price returns of SPOT, which is generally subject to a limit on potential investment gains as a result of the nature of the options strategy it employs. The Fund not only seeks to generate income from its options investments but also aims to derive gains when the value of SPOT increases. The Fund’s options contracts provide:

 

  indirect exposure to the share price returns of SPOT,
  current income from the option premiums, and
  at most times, a limit on the Fund’s participation in gains, if any, of the share price returns of SPOT.

 

For more information, see sections “The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts,” “Synthetic Covered Call Strategy” and “SyntheticCovered Call Spread Strategy” below.

 

Why invest in the Fund?

 

  The Fund seeks to generate monthly income, which is not dependent on the price appreciation of the Underlying Security.
  The Fund seeks to participate in a portion of the gains experienced by the Underlying Security.

 

That is, although the Fund may not fully participate in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price, the Fund’s portfolio is designed to generate income.

 

While the Fund seeks to provide current income pursuant to its investment objective, a portion (sometimes significant) of the Fund’s distributions may be classified as return of capital (“ROC”) for financial or tax reporting purposes. Generally speaking, ROC refers to the portion of a distribution from an investment that represents a return of the original investment (principal) rather than income or profit. Accordingly, such distributions do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s income or yield. For more information, see the section of the Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Funds - Options Premiums & Technical Return of Capital Classifications (Not Economic Returns of Capital).”

 

An Investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Underlying Security.

 

  The Fund’s strategy will capture only a portion of its potential gains if the Underlying Security’s stock price increases in value.
  The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if the Underlying Security’s stock price decrease in value, which may not be offset by income received by the Fund.
  The Fund may invest directly in the Underlying Security, but expects to gain its Underlying Security exposure primarily through its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy.
  Fund shareholders are not entitled to any Underlying Security dividends.

 

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.”

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.
  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.
  U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income.

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.
  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).
  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.
  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.
  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.

Additional information regarding the Underlying Security is also set forth below.

 

The Fund’s Use of Underlying Security Option Contracts

 

As part of the Fund’s synthetic covered call strategy and synthetic covered call spread strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of standardized exchange-traded and FLexible EXchange® (“FLEX”) call and put option contracts that are based on the value of the price returns of the Underlying Security.

 

  In general, an option contract gives the purchaser of the option contract the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the underlying asset (like shares of the Underlying Security) at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  If exercised, an option contract obligates the seller to deliver shares (for a sold or “short” call) or buy shares (for a sold or “short” put) of the underlying asset at a specified price (the “strike price”).
  Options contracts must be exercised or traded to close within a specified time frame, or they expire. See the chart in section “Fund Portfolio” below for a description of the option contracts utilized by the Fund.

 

Standardized exchange-traded options include standardized terms. FLEX options are also exchange-traded, but they allow for customizable terms (e.g., the strike price can be negotiated). For more information on FLEX options, see “Additional Information about the Funds – Exchange Traded Options Portfolio.” 

 

The Fund’s options contracts are based on the value of the Underlying Security, which gives the Fund the right or obligation to receive or deliver shares of the Underlying Security on the expiration date of the applicable option contract in exchange for the stated strike price, depending on whether the option contract is a call option or a put option, and whether the Fund purchases or sells the option contract.

 

Synthetic Covered Call Strategy

 

In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund may implement a “synthetic covered call” strategy using the standardized exchange-traded and FLEX options described above.

 

  A traditional covered call strategy is an investment strategy where an investor (the Fund) sells a call option on an underlying security it owns.
  A synthetic covered call strategy is similar to a traditional covered call strategy in that the investor sells a call option that is based on the value of the underlying security. However, in a synthetic covered call strategy, the investor (the Fund) does not own the underlying security, but rather seeks to synthetically replicate 100% of the price movements of the underlying security through the use of various investment instruments.

 

The Fund’s synthetic covered call strategies consists of the following three elements, each of which is described in greater detail farther below:

 

  Synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, which allows the Fund to seek to participate in the changes, up or down, in the price of shares of the Underlying Security.
  Covered call writing (where the Underlying Security’s call options are sold against the synthetic long portion of the strategy), which allows the Fund to generate income.
 

U.S. Treasuries, which are used for collateral for the options, and which also generate income. 

 

  1. Synthetic Long Exposure

 

To achieve a synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security, the Fund will buy the Underlying Security’s call options and, simultaneously, sell the Underlying Security’s put options to try to replicate the price movements of the Underlying Security. The call options purchased by the Fund and the put options sold by the Fund will generally have one-month to six-month terms and strike prices that are approximately equal to the then-current share price of the Underlying Security at the time the contracts are purchased and sold, respectively. The combination of the long call options and sold put options provides the Fund with indirect investment exposure equal to approximately 100% of the Underlying Security for the duration of the applicable options exposure.

 

  2. Covered Call Strategies

 

Covered Call Strategy

 

As part of its strategy, the Fund will write (sell) call option contracts on the Underlying Security to generate income. Since the Fund does not directly own the Underlying Security, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). The Fund will seek to participate in the share price appreciation of the Underlying Security, if any. However, due to the nature of covered call strategies, the Fund’s participation may be subject to a cap (as described below). In this strategy, the call options written (sold) by the Fund will generally have 1- month or less expiration dates (the “Call Period”) and generally have a strike price that is approximately 0%-15% above the then-current share price of the Underlying Security.

 

It is important to note that the sale of the Underlying Security call option contracts will limit the Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the Underlying Security’s stock price. If the stock price of the Underlying Security increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure alone would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the Underlying Security’s stock price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Underlying Security and the sold (short) the Underlying Security call positions) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains in the Underlying Security’s stock price beyond a certain point.

 

Covered Call Spread Strategy

 

The Adviser will employ the Covered Call Spread Strategy when it believes it is a better strategy for the Fund as compared to the Covered Call Strategy. The Fund may write (sell) credit call spreads (described below) rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek greater participation in the potential appreciation of its Underlying Security’s share price, while still generating net premium income. The Adviser will primarily employ this covered call spread strategy when it believes that the share price of its Underlying Security is likely to rise significantly in the short term (e.g., following a substantial selloff or overall positive market news). Additionally, the Adviser may use this strategy in other scenarios (e.g., if the market is undervaluing further out-of-the-money options relative to near-the-money options), where it believes the use of credit call spreads may prove more advantageous to the Fund’s total return than the covered call strategy.

 

A credit call spread involves selling a call option while simultaneously buying a call option with a higher strike price, both with the same expiration date. By writing credit call spreads, the Fund can potentially offset losses incurred from its short call positions if the Underlying Security’s share price rises above the strike price.

 

  3. U.S. Treasuries

 

The Fund will hold short-term U.S. Treasury securities as collateral in connection with the Fund’s options contracts, as well as swaps as discussed in the “Additional Investment Strategies” section below.

 

The Fund intends to continuously maintain indirect exposure to the Underlying Security, primarily through the use of options contracts. As the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it may enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as “rolling.” The Fund’s practice of rolling options may result in high portfolio turnover.

 

Additional Investment Strategies

 

In addition to the synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy described herein, the Fund may use the following additional strategies to gain exposure to the Underlying Security:

 

  Swaps: The Fund may utilize swap contracts that provide exposure to the Underlying Security.
  Additional Options Strategies: The Fund may utilize additional options strategies, including purchasing call options that are “deep in the money” (i.e., the Underlying Security’s price is well above the strike price on the call option).
  Equity Securities: The Fund may purchase equity securities of the Underlying Security.

 

While the Fund intends to primarily utilize its synthetic covered call strategy or synthetic covered call spread strategy to gain exposure to the Underlying Security, it may utilize each of the foregoing to the extent it is unable to achieve its targeted exposure through the use of these primary options strategies.

 

Fund’s Monthly Distributions

 

The Fund will seek to provide monthly income in the form of cash distributions. The Fund will seek to generate such income in the following ways:

 

  Writing (selling) call option contracts on its Underlying Security as described above. The income comes mainly from the option premiums received from these option sales. A premium, in this context, refers to the price the option buyer pays to the option seller (the Fund) for the rights granted by the option. The amount of these premiums is largely affected by the fluctuations in the Underlying Security’s stock prices. However, other elements like interest rates can also influence the income level.
  Investing in short-term U.S. Treasury securities. The income generated by these securities will be influenced by interest rates at the time of investment.
  In addition to the income-seeking methodologies stated in the Prospectus, the Fund’s use of the Synthetic Covered Call Spread Strategy may occasionally allow it to capture a substantial portion of any significant increase in the price of its Underlying Security. When this happens, the Fund could receive profits exceeding the initial cost of the call options, and the Fund’s distributions may include some of those profits.
  The Fund may receive some dividend income to the extent it invests directly in the Underlying Security.

 

Fund’s Return Profile vs its Underlying Security

 

For the reasons stated above, the Fund’s performance will differ from that of the Underlying Security’s stock price. The performance differences will depend on, among other things, the price of the Underlying Security, changes in the value of the Underlying Security options contracts and swaps the Fund holds, and changes in the value of the U.S. Treasuries.
