Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]

(a) Alibaba Group Holdings Limited (NYSE: BABA)

 

The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of two times (200%) the daily performance of Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA) (the “Underlying Stock”).

 

Because of the daily reset, the Fund’s performance for any period longer than a day will not be 200% of the performance of the Underlying Stock, particularly during volatile markets. During the period, market volatility and the performance of the Underlying Stock contributed materially to the performance of the Fund. Alibaba is an online commerce and cloud computing company operating globally. Extreme competition in China’s e-commerce industry, along with concerns about global protectionist policies, led to a decline in Alibaba's share price during the period.

Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Fund, entered into an agreement whereby its officers and employees, among others, through KFA Two Holdings, LLC, will acquire a majority interest in the Adviser from China International Capital Corporation (USA) Holdings Inc., a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of China International Capital Corporation Limited (the “Transaction”). Consummation of the Transaction will, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s existing investment advisory and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board approved new advisory and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements on terms identical to the existing agreements (other than effective and termination dates), subject to shareholder approval of the new advisory agreement. The new sub-advisory agreement will take effect in reliance on a manager-of-managers exemptive order. To ensure continuity of management pending shareholder approval of the new advisory agreement, the Board also approved interim advisory and, if applicable, sub-advisory agreements, effective upon closing of the Transaction, each with terms substantially identical to the current agreements, to remain in effect for up to 150 days while shareholder approval is sought.
