in interest rates, changes
in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading suspensions and closures, geopolitical events, tariffs, trade wars, natural
disasters, and public health risks. Interest rates and inflation rates may change frequently and drastically due to various factors and the Fund’s investments may be adversely impacted.
The economic, fiscal, monetary and foreign policies of the U.S. government, including
the imposition of tariffs, changes to its federal agencies and changes to regulatory policies, will impact the U.S. economy and could lead to increased market volatility and may
adversely impact the overall market and individual securities.
Non-Affiliation Risk — Meta Platforms, Inc. is not
affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser or any affiliates thereof and is not
involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate
are not responsible for the performance of META and make no representation as to the performance of META. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in META.
Fund shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other
distributions or any other rights with respect to META.
Meta Platforms, Inc. Investing Risk — Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
As of the date of this prospectus, Meta Platforms, Inc. offers social media-related products such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads and WhatsApp as well as certain
augmented and virtual reality products. Meta Platforms, Inc. is subject to a number of risks, including, among others: risks related to its product offerings, such as its
ability to add or retain users and to increase advertising spending, including the risks associated with not being successful in artificial intelligence (“AI”) initiatives
although the company is making significant investment in AI; business operations and financial results, including the ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive information
technology sector; government regulation and enforcement, including any restrictions on access to Meta Platform, Inc.’s products, especially in regard to AI; the ability
to collect and use consumer data, including the phasing out of third-party cookies which the company has historically used to gauge success of various ads and will impact monetization;
data, security and intellectual property, including the occurrences of security breaches or improper access of consumer data; and the dual class structure of the company’s
common stock, which limits the ability of shareholders to influence corporate matters.
Security Volatility Risk — The performance of the Fund is designed to correlate to the leveraged performance of META. Significant short-term
price movements in META could adversely impact the performance of both META and the Fund, increase the Fund’s bid-ask spread and adversely impact the Fund’s
ability to achieve its investment objective. In addition, the net asset value of the Fund over short-term
periods may be more
volatile than other investment options due to the volatility of META.
Concentration Risk — The Fund will be concentrated in
a particular security, META, and therefore, a particular industry and will
have more than 25% of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged exposure to the communication services sector and the interactive media & services industry (the risks of which
are described below), the same industry and/or sector to which META is assigned. Since the Fund is concentrated in a particular security and therefore industry and/or sector, it
presents more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. A portfolio invested in multiple securities and industries typically presents less risk than a portfolio
concentrated in one security or industry because market changes that adversely impact one security or industry may benefit others. Because the Fund only invests in one security and
industry, it should be expected to decrease from any market movements that adversely impact META and/or communication services sector and the interactive media & services industry.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data
Company Risk —
Companies engaged in artificial
intelligence (“AI”) and big data typically face intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence. These companies are also heavily dependent on intellectual
property rights and may be adversely affected by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be able to successfully protect their
intellectual property to prevent the misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop technology that is substantially similar or superior to such
companies’ technology. AI and big data companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, as well as mergers and acquisitions, and there is no
guarantee that the products or services produced by these companies will be successful. The products and services of AI and big data companies may face obsolescence due to
rapid technological developments and frequent new product or service
introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the
services of qualified personnel. AI and big data companies are potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse impact on the performance of these companies. In
addition, AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that
develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is
collected, stored, safeguarded and used. AI and big data companies may face regulatory fines and penalties, including forced break-ups, that could hinder the ability of the
companies to operate on an ongoing basis. The customers and/or suppliers of AI and big data companies may be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry. Any adverse event
affecting one of these countries, regions or industries could have a negative impact on AI and big data companies. Country, government, and/or region-specific regulations or
restrictions could have an impact on AI and big data companies.
