How did the Fund perform in the last year?

IVOL is a fixed income ETF that seeks to hedge relative interest rate movements, whether these movements arise from falling short-term interest rates or rising long-term interest rates, and to benefit from market stress when fixed income volatility increases, while providing the potential for enhanced inflation-protected income.

 

The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury U.S. TIPS Index during the period because of the options held by the Fund. The options held by the Fund during the period were long the difference between the 2-year and 10-year yield on a U.S. Treasury bond, which increased, leading the Fund to outperform a portfolio of inflation-protected securities.

Material Fund Changes

This is a summary of certain changes to the Fund since April 1, 2025. For more complete information, you may review the Fund’s prospectus, which is available at https://kfafunds.com/etf/ivol/#documents or upon request at 1-855-857-2638.

 

Effective April 1, 2026, the Adviser contractually agreed to waive its management fee equal to 0.04% of the Fund’s average annual net assets. The waiver will remain in effect through August 1, 2028, unless terminated earlier by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

 

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 could, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s existing advisory agreement and, as a result of the termination of the advisory agreement, the sub-advisory agreement. In anticipation of the Transaction, the Board approved new advisory and sub-advisory agreements on terms identical to the existing agreements (other than effective and termination dates), subject to shareholder approval. To ensure continuity of management pending such shareholder approval, the Board also approved interim advisory and sub-advisory agreements, each with terms substantially identical to the current agreements, to remain in effect for up to 150 days while shareholder approval is sought.
