FUND SUMMARY – Corgi Money Market ETF

Investment Objective

The Corgi Money Market ETF (the "Fund") seeks current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (the "Shares"). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses

[  ]

(1) Under the unitary fee arrangement, Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser") will bear substantially all of the Fund's ordinary operating expenses, except for: advisory fees; interest on borrowings for investment purposes; dividends and other expenses on securities sold short; taxes; brokerage commissions and other costs of purchasing and selling portfolio securities and other investment instruments; acquired fund fees and expenses; accrued deferred tax liability; any distribution fees and expenses paid under a Rule 12b-1 plan adopted pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"); litigation expenses; and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses.

(2) The Fund is newly organized. All fees and expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year.

Expense Example

This Example is designed to help you compare shareholder costs across funds. It assumes a $10,000 investment held for the periods shown and a full redemption at the end of each period, with a 5% annual return and unchanged operating expenses. Your actual expenses may differ; based on these assumptions, your costs would be as shown.

Portfolio Turnover

 

When the Fund buys and sells securities, it incurs trading costs such as brokerage commissions. Greater trading activity (often called portfolio turnover) generally means higher trading expenses and, in taxable accounts, may result in larger taxable distributions. These amounts are not included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Expense Example and will reduce the Fund's returns. Because the Fund is newly formed, a portfolio turnover rate is not yet available.

 

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund operates as a "government money market fund" pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and is subject to related restrictions on its portfolio composition. Consequently, the Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Government securities, and (iii) repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such obligations or cash. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.

 

U.S. Government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. Certain obligations that are issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (also referred to as government sponsored enterprises or "GSEs," which have been created under Congressional charter) are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. For example, debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

 

Additionally, the Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in Money Market Securities. “Money Market Securities” are defined as U.S. Government securities, as defined above, and repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities. This 80% policy is a non-fundamental policy and the Fund will not change it without providing shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice.

 

The Fund invests in securities maturing in 397 days or less and maintains a portfolio dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. Furthermore, the Fund will hold securities that are sufficiently liquid to meet reasonably foreseeable shareholder redemptions and maintain at least 25% of its total assets in "daily" liquid assets and at least 50% of its total assets in "weekly" liquid assets. The maturity of certain variable and floating rate instruments is measured by reference to the next interest rate reset date rather than the absolute maturity of the instrument. The Fund may transact in securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.

 

The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund purchases government securities and simultaneously commits to resell them to the same counterparty at a future time and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. The Fund expects to focus initially in overnight repurchase agreements. Income from repurchase agreements may not be exempt from state and local income taxation.

 

In selecting investments, Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser") selects money market instruments for the Fund based on its assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions. The Adviser also considers safety of principal and liquidity in selecting securities for the Fund and thus may not buy securities that offer the highest yield.

 

Although the Fund will seek to continue to qualify as a "government money market fund," it will not seek to maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") per share using the amortized cost or penny rounding method of valuation. Instead, the Fund will calculate its NAV per share based on the market value of its investments. In addition, unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). As an ETF, the Fund's shares will be traded on [ ] and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV per share as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the exchange. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.

 

You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

The Fund does not currently intend to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions.

 

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The principal risks are presented alphabetically below. Each risk described below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. You could lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance depends on the investment decisions of the Adviser. There is no guarantee that the techniques employed will produce the desired results. The Fund's yield may be lower than that of other money market funds with broader investment mandates.

 

Cash Transaction Risk. The Fund may effect some or all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund's shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV.

 

Collateral Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in money market funds to provide liquidity or to accommodate unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses, which will be borne indirectly by the Fund. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty's financial condition, market activities and developments, or other reasons. A counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed.

 

Credit Risk. The Fund's investments expose it to credit risk on (i) the U.S. Government, its agencies, and instrumentalities, including obligations of government sponsored enterprises (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks) that are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and (ii) the Fund's repurchase agreement counterparties. An actual or perceived decline in the creditworthiness of any such issuer, guarantor, or counterparty, including a credit rating downgrade, may reduce the value and liquidity of the Fund's holdings, may delay or reduce payments owed to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund's NAV and yield. Credit risk may increase during economic downturns or periods of market stress.

 

ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and is subject to risks associated with ETF structure and secondary-market trading. These include potential reliance on a limited number of market makers and Authorized Participants, the possibility that Shares trade at prices different from NAV, and the trading and transaction-cost considerations described below.

 

·         AP and Market Maker Dependence Risk. The Fund relies on a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund (each, an Authorized Participant or "AP"). There may also be a limited number of market makers and other liquidity providers active in Shares. If (i) APs exit the business, become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other APs step in, or (ii) market makers and/or other liquidity providers leave the market or materially scale back their activity and no replacements emerge, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and, in extreme cases, could face delisting.

 

·         Brokerage Commissions and Bid-Ask Spread Risk. Investors transacting in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions and may bear costs associated with the bid-ask spread. These costs tend to rise when trading volume is low or markets are stressed and can materially reduce investment results, especially for frequent or small transactions.

 

·         Premium/Discount to NAV Risk. Shares trade at market prices that may be above (premium) or below (discount) NAV, particularly when market volatility is elevated, trading volume is limited, or the portfolio experiences disruptions.

 

·         Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on [ ] (the "Exchange") and may trade on other U.S. exchanges, there is no assurance that Shares will trade with active volume, or trade at all, on any exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares and the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio holdings may deteriorate.

Income Risk. The Fund's income may decrease due to declining short-term interest rates. In market environments where short-term interest rates are very low, the Fund's yield may be very low, and the Fund could have a negative yield (i.e., it could lose money on a net basis). If there is an insufficient supply of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds to meet investor demand, it could result in lower yields on such securities and increase interest rate risk for the Fund.

 

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities. Because the Fund invests in short-term securities, its interest rate sensitivity is generally lower than that of funds investing in longer-term instruments. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to shareholders.

 

Large Shareholder and Large-Scale Redemption Risk. Certain shareholders, including an Authorized Participant, a third-party investor, the Adviser, an affiliate of the Adviser, or another entity, may from time to time own or manage a substantial amount of Fund shares, or may invest in the Fund and hold their investment for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem their investment. Redemptions of a large number of Fund shares could require the Fund to dispose of assets to meet the redemption requests, which can accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or capital gains. In addition, large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities when it might not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund's NAV.

 

Limited Shareholder Rights Risk. The Trust's governing documents limit certain shareholder rights. For example, the Trust generally does not hold annual meetings of shareholders, permits removal of a Trustee only by the remaining Trustees, and requires shareholders holding at least 10% of outstanding Shares to take certain derivative actions. The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that certain disputes must be resolved in a specific state court and contains a jury trial waiver. These provisions may discourage certain types of claims or limit shareholders' ability to bring claims in a judicial forum they consider favorable.

 

Liquidity Risk. In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the financial instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to acquire or dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value. If the Fund is forced to sell securities at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, such sales may adversely affect the value of the Fund.

 

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends, or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers. You could lose money.

 

Market Trading Risk. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares (including through a trading halt), losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility, and disruptions in the process of creating and redeeming Fund shares. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund's shares trading in the secondary market at a premium or discount to NAV.

 

Money Market Fund Risk. The share price of the Fund can fall. Unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an ETF. As an ETF, the Fund's shares will be traded on the exchange and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the exchange. You should not rely on or expect the Adviser to enter into support agreements or take other actions to maintain the Fund's share price. The credit quality of the Fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's share price. The Fund's share price can also be negatively affected during periods of high redemption pressures and/or illiquid markets. The actions of a few large investors in the Fund may have a significant adverse effect on the share price of the Fund.

 

New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a newly registered investment adviser and has limited experience managing a registered fund. As a result, there is no long-term track record against which an investor can judge the Adviser.

 

New Fund Risk. The Fund is newly organized and has limited or no operating history. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund's shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund's shares' listing will continue unchanged.

 

Operational and Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers are directly and indirectly susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI"), which may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund's operations.

 

Repurchase Agreement Risk. If the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money.

 

Risks of Holding Cash. The Fund will at all times hold cash positions, which may hurt the Fund's performance. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs including any fees imposed by the Fund's custodian for large cash balances.

 

Security Selection Risk. While the Fund invests in short-term securities, which by nature should be relatively stable investments, it is possible that the securities in which the Fund invests will not perform as expected. This could cause the Fund's yield to lag behind those of similar money market funds and could result in a decline in share price.

 

U.S. Government Default Risk. Due to the rising U.S. government debt burden and potential limitations caused by the statutory debt ceiling, it is possible that the U.S. government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the U.S. government may experience credit downgrades. In the past, U.S. sovereign credit has experienced downgrades and there can be no guarantee that it will not experience further downgrades in the future by rating agencies. Such a credit event may adversely impact the financial markets and the Fund. From time to time, uncertainty regarding the status of negotiations in the U.S. government to increase the statutory debt ceiling and/or failure to increase the statutory debt ceiling could increase the risk that the U.S. government may default on payments on certain U.S. government securities, cause the credit rating of the U.S. government to be downgraded or increase volatility in financial markets, result in higher interest rates, reduce prices of U.S. Treasury securities, and/or increase the costs of certain kinds of debt.

 

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Different types of U.S. Government securities have different levels of credit risk depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. Securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and certain U.S. Government sponsored enterprises are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example, the debt of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, such as that issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. In addition, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. Government obligations, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling." Such non-payment could result in losses to the Fund.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling." Such non-payment could result in losses to the Fund and substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.

 

Valuation Risk. Certain portfolio holdings, and potentially a significant portion of the Fund's portfolio, may be valued using factors other than market quotations. This may occur more frequently during periods of market stress or reduced liquidity. When market quotations are not readily available, investments are fair valued by the Adviser, and such methods may involve more subjectivity than the use of market quotations.

 

Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk . Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their coupon rates do not reset as high, or as quickly, as comparable market interest rates, and generally carry lower yields than fixed securities of the same maturity. These securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction in income received from variable and floating rate securities held by the Fund and may adversely affect the value of the Fund's shares. Benchmark interest rates may not accurately track market interest rates.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments Risk. When-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.

 

Performance

Because the Fund has not completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus, performance information is not presented. After the Fund has a full calendar year of results, this section will include a calendar-year bar chart and a table of average annual total returns, which will help illustrate the variability of the Fund's returns over time. At that time, the Fund's performance will be compared to an appropriate broad-based market index (total return). The specific benchmark index (or indexes) used for this comparison will be identified in this section once performance information is presented and will be selected to represent the overall applicable market relevant to the Fund's investment exposure.

Past performance (before and after taxes) is not a guarantee of future results.

Once available, updated performance information will be posted on the Fund’s website at www.corgifunds.com.

Management

Investment Adviser: Corgi Strategies, LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund.

Portfolio Manager: The individual primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund is Anthony Aukett, a Portfolio Manager for the Adviser, who has served as a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

The Fund issues and redeems shares only in large blocks called "Creation Units" at NAV next determined after an order is accepted. Only authorized participants ("APs") may transact in Creation Units directly with the Fund. Creation Units are generally issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities and/or cash; the Fund may, in its discretion, permit or require all-cash creations or redemptions.

Individual Shares are listed for trading on [ ] (the "Exchange") and may be bought or sold in the secondary market at market prices rather than at NAV. Market prices may be above (premium to) or below (discount to) NAV. Investors trading on an exchange will pay brokerage commissions and may be affected by the bid-ask spread.

As available, information required by Rule 6c-11 (including the Fund's NAV, market price, historical premiums/discounts, and median bid-ask spread) will be posted on the Fund's website at www.corgifunds.com.

Tax Information

Fund distributions are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, and/or capital gains (or some combination), unless shares are held through an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other tax-advantaged arrangement, in which case taxes may be due upon withdrawal. Your tax treatment may vary; consult your tax adviser about your particular circumstances.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase Shares through a financial intermediary (e.g., a broker-dealer or bank), the Adviser or its affiliates may, from their own resources, compensate the intermediary for activities related to the distribution, marketing, promotion, or sale of Shares, or for shareholder and educational support. These payments may create a conflict of interest by incentivizing the intermediary or its personnel to recommend the Fund over other investments. Such payments are not made by the Fund and do not increase the expenses paid by the Fund. Ask your salesperson or visit your intermediary’s website for more information.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND

Investment Objectives

Corgi Money Market ETF

The Corgi Money Market ETF (the "Fund") seeks current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

An investment objective is fundamental if it cannot be changed without the approval of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940). The Fund's investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Corgi ETF Trust I (the "Trust") upon 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders.

Principal Investment Strategies for the Fund

General Investment Policies

Unless otherwise noted in the Fund's summary, under normal market conditions, the Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). The Fund does not seek to track the performance of a specified index. The Adviser has discretion on a daily basis to manage the Fund's portfolio in accordance with the Fund's investment objective.

 

80% investment policies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets (as defined for purposes of Rule 35d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")) in the types of investments suggested by its name, as described in the Fund's summary prospectus and below. The Fund's 80% investment policy is a non-fundamental policy that may be changed by the Board upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to shareholders. The Fund measures compliance with its 80% investment policy at the time of investment. For purposes of this policy, the Fund values derivative contracts (such as swaps) at their notional value. If the Fund's investments fall below the 80% threshold for reasons other than purchases of non-qualifying investments (e.g., market fluctuations or changes in an issuer's business), the Fund will make future investments in a manner consistent with the policy and will seek to restore compliance as soon as reasonably practicable, consistent with the best interests of shareholders.

 

For purposes of the Fund's 80% policy:

 

Corgi Money Market ETF: The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in Money Market Securities (as defined in the Fund's summary prospectus).

 

Cash management; other investments. For liquidity and operational purposes (including to facilitate the ETF creation and redemption process, meet expenses, and manage settlement timing), the Fund may hold cash and cash equivalents and may invest a portion of its assets in money market instruments, repurchase agreements, and money market funds (including money market funds advised by the Adviser), consistent with the Fund's investment objective and 80% investment policy.

 

Temporary departures. In unusual circumstances (for example, market disruptions, trading halts, unusually large cash inflows or redemptions, or when it is not practicable to purchase securities consistent with the Fund's investment strategy), the Fund may temporarily hold a larger-than-typical portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents or similar instruments. During such periods, the Fund may not fully pursue its investment objective.

 

Concentration. The Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in U.S. Government securities.

 

Securities lending. The Fund does not currently intend to engage in securities lending as a principal investment strategy. If approved by the Board in the future, the Fund may lend portfolio securities as described in the Statement of Additional Information.

Fund-Specific Strategies

Corgi Money Market ETF

The Fund seeks current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. The Fund operates as a "government money market fund" pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act and is subject to related restrictions on its portfolio composition.

 

The Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Government securities, and (iii) repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such obligations or cash. U.S. Government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. Certain obligations that are issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (also referred to as government sponsored enterprises or "GSEs") are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

 

The Fund invests in securities maturing in 397 days or less and maintains a portfolio dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. The Fund will hold securities that are sufficiently liquid to meet reasonably foreseeable shareholder redemptions and maintain at least 25% of its total assets in "daily" liquid assets and at least 50% of its total assets in "weekly" liquid assets. The maturity of certain variable and floating rate instruments is measured by reference to the next interest rate reset date rather than the absolute maturity of the instrument. The Fund may transact in securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.

 

The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund purchases government securities and simultaneously commits to resell them to the same counterparty at a future time and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. Income from repurchase agreements may not be exempt from state and local income taxation.

 

Although the Fund will seek to continue to qualify as a "government money market fund," it will not seek to maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") per share using the amortized cost or penny rounding method of valuation. Instead, the Fund will calculate its NAV per share based on the market value of its investments. In addition, unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

The Fund does not currently intend to impose a liquidity fee on redemptions.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

The principal risks are presented alphabetically below. Each risk summarized below is regarded as a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Any of the risks described can adversely affect the Fund’s NAV, market price, income, or total return. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV per share price, yield, total return, and/or the Fund’s ability to achieve its objective.

 

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance depends on the investment decisions of the Adviser. In managing the Fund, the portfolio managers use their judgment and apply various analytical methods and investment strategies in making investment decisions. There is no guarantee that the techniques and analysis employed will produce the desired results, and the Fund may underperform its benchmark or funds with similar investment objectives.

 

Cash Transaction Risk. The Fund may effect some or all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund's shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV.

 

Collateral Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in money market funds to provide liquidity or to accommodate unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty's financial condition, market activities and developments, or other reasons. A counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed.

 

Credit Risk. The Fund's investments expose it to credit risk on (i) the U.S. Government, its agencies, and instrumentalities, including obligations of government sponsored enterprises (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks) that are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and (ii) the Fund's repurchase agreement counterparties. An actual or perceived decline in the creditworthiness of any such issuer, guarantor, or counterparty, including a credit rating downgrade, may reduce the value and liquidity of the Fund's holdings, may delay or reduce payments owed to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund's NAV and yield. Credit risk may increase during economic downturns or periods of market stress.

 

ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and is subject to risks associated with ETF structure and secondary-market trading. These include potential reliance on a limited number of market makers and Authorized Participants, the possibility that Shares trade at prices different from NAV, and the trading and transaction-cost considerations described below.

 

·         AP and Market Maker Dependence Risk. The Fund relies on a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund (each, an Authorized Participant or "AP"). There may also be a limited number of market makers and other liquidity providers active in Shares. If (i) APs exit the business, become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other APs step in, or (ii) market makers and/or other liquidity providers leave the market or materially scale back their activity and no replacements emerge, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and, in extreme cases, could face delisting.

·         Brokerage Commissions and Bid-Ask Spread Risk. Investors transacting in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions and may bear costs associated with the bid-ask spread. These costs tend to rise when trading volume is low or markets are stressed and can materially reduce investment results, especially for frequent or small transactions.

·         Premium/Discount to NAV Risk. Shares trade at market prices that may be above (premium) or below (discount) NAV, particularly when market volatility is elevated, trading volume is limited, or the portfolio experiences disruptions.

·         Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on [ ] (the "Exchange") and may trade on other U.S. exchanges, there is no assurance that Shares will trade with active volume, or trade at all, on any exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares and the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio holdings may deteriorate.

Income Risk. The Fund's income may decrease due to declining interest rates or other factors. In market environments where short-term interest rates are very low, the Fund's yield may be very low, and the Fund could have a negative yield. This decline in income can occur because many of the debt instruments held by the Fund have floating or variable interest rates .

 

Interest Rate Risk. The market value of bonds and other fixed-income securities changes in response to interest rate changes and other factors. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In general, the market price of securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities. Because the Fund invests in short-term securities, its interest rate sensitivity is generally lower than that of funds investing in longer-term instruments. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates during a period of historically low interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to shareholders.

 

Large Shareholder and Large-Scale Redemption Risk. Certain shareholders, including an Authorized Participant, a third-party investor, the Adviser, an affiliate of the Adviser, or another entity, may from time to time own or manage a substantial amount of Fund shares, or may invest in the Fund and hold their investment for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem their investment. Redemptions of a large number of Fund shares could require the Fund to dispose of assets to meet the redemption requests, which can accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or capital gains and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions earlier than the Fund otherwise would have.

 

Limited Shareholder Rights Risk. The Trust's governing documents limit certain shareholder rights. For example, the Trust generally does not hold annual meetings of shareholders, permits removal of a Trustee only by the remaining Trustees, and requires shareholders holding at least 10% of outstanding Shares to take certain derivative actions. The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that certain disputes must be resolved in a specific state court and contains a jury trial waiver. These provisions may discourage certain types of claims or limit shareholders' ability to bring claims in a judicial forum they consider favorable.

 

Liquidity Risk. Certain fixed-income investments may become less liquid, particularly during periods of market stress, reduced dealer balance sheet capacity, or heightened volatility. Reduced liquidity may make it more difficult or costly to buy or sell securities at desired times or prices, may increase portfolio transaction costs, and may adversely affect the Fund's performance.

 

Market Risk. The value of the Fund's portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as financial institution failures, economic recessions, tariffs, trade disputes, terrorism, war, armed conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, and epidemics and pandemics) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. You could lose money.

 

Market Trading Risk. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares (including through a trading halt), losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility, and disruptions in the process of creating and redeeming Fund shares. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund's shares trading in the secondary market at a premium or discount to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund's portfolio holdings.

 

Money Market Fund Risk. The share price of the Fund can fall. Unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an ETF and its shares will be traded on the exchange and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares. The credit quality of the Fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's share price.

 

New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a newly registered investment adviser and has limited experience managing a registered fund. As a result, there is no long-term track record against which an investor can judge the Adviser.

 

New Fund Risk. The Fund is newly organized and has limited or no operating history. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund's shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund's shares' listing will continue unchanged.

 

Operational and Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers are directly and indirectly susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI"), which may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund's operations.

 

Repurchase Agreement Risk. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the repurchased securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss. If the seller becomes insolvent, the Fund's ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

 

Risks of Holding Cash. The Fund will at times hold cash positions, which may hurt the Fund's performance. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs including any fees imposed by the Fund's custodian for large cash balances.

 

Security Selection Risk. While the Fund invests in short-term securities, it is possible that the securities in which the Fund invests will not perform as expected. This could cause the Fund's yield to lag behind those of similar money market funds and could result in a decline in share price.

 

U.S. Government Default Risk. Due to the rising U.S. government debt burden and potential limitations caused by the statutory debt ceiling, it is possible that the U.S. government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the U.S. government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely impact the financial markets and the Fund.

 

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Different types of U.S. Government securities have different levels of credit risk. Securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and Government sponsored enterprises are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk . Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling."

 

Valuation Risk. Certain portfolio holdings, and potentially a significant portion of the Fund's portfolio, may be valued using factors other than market quotations. This may occur more frequently during periods of market stress or reduced liquidity. When market quotations are not readily available, investments are fair valued by the Adviser, and such methods may involve more subjectivity than the use of market quotations.

 

Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk. Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their coupon rates do not reset as high, or as quickly, as comparable market interest rates, and generally carry lower yields than fixed securities of the same maturity. These securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction in income received from variable and floating rate securities held by the Fund and may adversely affect the value of the Fund's shares. Benchmark interest rates may not accurately track market interest rates.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments Risk. When-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION

The Fund's complete portfolio holdings will be made available on the Fund's website at www.corgifunds.com on each business day, consistent with applicable SEC requirements (including Rule 6c-11). A full description of the Fund's policies and procedures regarding disclosure of portfolio holdings is provided in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI").

MANAGEMENT

Investment Adviser

Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser"), located at 425 Bush St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94104, is a Delaware limited liability company registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and serves as investment adviser to the Fund. The Adviser was founded in July 2025, and as of [____], 2026, had approximately $[ ] in assets under management.

The Adviser is responsible for overall portfolio management and administration of the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with Corgi ETF Trust I (the "Trust") (the "Advisory Agreement"). In addition to executing portfolio transactions, the Adviser may arrange for, and oversee, service providers performing transfer agency, custody, fund administration/accounting, distribution, and other services necessary for the Fund's operations.

Because the Fund operates as a government money market fund, the Adviser is responsible for selecting, executing, and managing the Fund's portfolio of U.S. Government securities, repurchase agreements fully collateralized by such securities, and cash, including the evaluation of credit quality, maturity, yield, and liquidity. The Adviser oversees compliance with the Fund's investment policies, Rule 2a-7 requirements (including liquidity, maturity, and quality requirements), diversification requirements, and other applicable regulatory requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

For its services to the Fund, the Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, from the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays substantially all of the Fund's expenses except for: the advisory fee itself; interest charges on borrowings; taxes; brokerage commissions and other expenses related to buying and selling portfolio investments; dividends and other expenses on securities sold short; acquired fund fees and expenses; any accrued deferred tax liability; distribution fees and expenses under any Rule 12b-1 plan; litigation and other extraordinary expenses; and any other expenses the Fund is responsible for under the Advisory Agreement (collectively, the "Excluded Expenses").

For clarity, certain costs related to the Fund's portfolio transactions (for example, the bid-ask spread on fixed-income securities and other transaction-related costs) are not included in the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expense under the unitary fee. These amounts are embedded in the pricing and performance of the securities and therefore reduce the Fund's returns rather than appearing as operating expenses.

Additional information about portfolio transactions, brokerage selection, and research services is provided in the SAI under Brokerage Transactions.

Advisory Agreement

A discussion of the basis for the Board's approval of the Advisory Agreement will appear in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the period ended September 30, 2026, on Form N-CSR.

Portfolio Manager

The individual primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund is Anthony Aukett, a Portfolio Manager for the Adviser, who has served as a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.


Additional information regarding the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts managed, and ownership of Shares is provided in the Fund's SAI.

 

HOW TO BUY AND SELL SHARES

The Fund issues and redeems Shares only in large blocks called "Creation Units," at the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") next determined after an order is accepted. Only authorized participants ("APs"), who must be members or participants of a registered clearing agency and must have an executed participant agreement with the Fund's distributor and transfer agent, may transact in Creation Units directly with the Fund. Once created, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit.

Because the Fund invests in fixed-income securities that may be less liquid or difficult to transfer in-kind, the Fund generally expects to effect creations and redemptions in cash rather than in-kind. Cash creations and redemptions may require the Fund to buy or sell portfolio investments, which may increase brokerage and other transaction costs and may cause the Fund to recognize taxable gains or losses that it might not have incurred if it were able to effect creations and redemptions in-kind. The Fund may impose transaction fees on cash creations and redemptions designed to cover the Fund's estimated costs; however, to the extent these costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an authorized participant, they will be borne by the Fund and may decrease the Fund's NAV.

 

Most investors buy and sell Shares in secondary-market transactions through brokers. Shares are expected to be listed for trading on [ ] (the "Exchange") and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day at market prices. Investors may pay customary brokerage commissions and, because secondary-market transactions occur at market prices, investors may pay more than NAV when buying Shares and receive less than NAV when selling Shares.

 

Book Entry

Shares are held only in book-entry form. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares. Beneficial ownership of Shares is shown on the records of DTC or its participants (e.g., brokers, banks, and other financial institutions). As a beneficial owner, you will not receive physical certificates and must rely on DTC and its participants to exercise rights associated with owning Shares, consistent with standard "street name" procedures.

 

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares

The Funds do not impose restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions of Shares. Purchases and redemptions by APs are integral to the ETF arbitrage mechanism and help keep market prices of Shares close to NAV. The Board has considered the potential for frequent purchases and redemptions, particularly for cash, to increase portfolio transaction costs, tracking difference, and realized capital gains, and has approved policies to mitigate these effects, including fair-value pricing and the imposition of transaction fees on Creation Unit purchases and redemptions designed to cover a Fund's costs. Each Fund and the Adviser reserve the right to reject any purchase order at any time..

 

Determination of Net Asset Value

The Fund’s NAV is calculated as of the close of regular trading on [ ] (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the Exchange is open for business. NAV is computed by dividing the Fund’s net assets by the number of Shares outstanding.

 

In determining NAV, portfolio securities and other assets are generally valued at market value using quotations, last sale prices, or values supplied by a pricing service or market makers. When such information is unavailable or is deemed unreliable, the affected investments are valued at fair value pursuant to the Fund's valuation procedures. Fixed-income securities, including U.S. Government securities, are generally valued using prices provided by independent pricing services, which may use broker-dealer quotations, matrix pricing, or other valuation methodologies that consider factors such as yield, credit quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which the pricing service does not provide a valuation or the Adviser believes the provided valuation is unreliable, are valued at fair value pursuant to the Fund's valuation procedures. Fair valuation may involve more subjectivity than the use of market quotations, and values established through fair valuation may differ from what would be produced if market quotations were used.

 

Fair Value Pricing

 

The Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s “valuation designee” under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to the Board’s oversight. The Adviser has adopted valuation policies and procedures to determine, in good faith, the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable (for example, following a trading halt or when a primary pricing source fails to provide data). In making fair-value determinations, the Adviser may consider all reasonably available information deemed relevant, including issuer-specific data, market conditions, recent trading activity, and the circumstances that triggered the need for fair value. Because fair value determinations involve judgments, the prices assigned may differ from values realized upon sale.

Investments by Other Registered Investment Companies in the Fund

 

Investments by registered investment companies in the Fund are subject to the limits of Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Other registered investment companies may invest in the Fund beyond the Section 12(d)(1) limits in accordance with applicable SEC rules (e.g., Rule 12d1-4) and conditions, which may include entering into a fund-of-funds investment agreement with the Fund.

 

Delivery of Shareholder Documents – “Householding”

 

Certain intermediaries may offer “householding,” a method of delivery under which a single copy of shareholder documents is sent to investors sharing an address, even if accounts are registered in different names. If you wish to enroll in, or to change your householding election, please contact your broker-dealer or other financial intermediary.

 

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES

 

Dividends and Distributions

 

The Fund intends to make weekly distributions of net investment income, if any, to shareholders, and to distribute any net realized capital gains to shareholders at least annually.

 

The Fund will declare and pay income and capital gain distributions, if any, in cash. Cash distributions may be reinvested in additional whole Shares only if the broker through whom you hold Shares offers that option. Your broker is responsible for delivering any income and capital gain distributions to you.

 

Because the Fund invests primarily in fixed-income securities, distributions are expected to consist primarily of ordinary income (interest income). The Fund may also distribute net short-term and long-term capital gains, if any. The tax treatment of the Fund's distributions may vary depending on the nature of the income earned and the holding period of the securities sold. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax consequences of investing in the Fund.

 

Taxes

 

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that generally apply to investments in the Fund. Your situation may differ. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of investing in Shares, including the application of foreign, state, and local tax laws.

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If the Fund satisfies minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is generally not subject to fund-level federal income tax on income and gains that are timely distributed to shareholders. If the Fund was to fail to qualify as a RIC or fail to meet the distribution requirements (and no relief were available), it could be subject to fund-level taxation, which would reduce income available for distribution.

Unless your Shares are held through a tax-exempt entity or tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA), you should consider potential tax consequences when the Fund makes distributions, when you sell Shares on the Exchange, and (for institutional investors only) when you purchase or redeem Creation Units.

This general discussion is based on the Code and applicable Treasury regulations in effect on the date of this Prospectus. New legislation, administrative guidance, or court decisions may materially change these conclusions and may apply retroactively.

Taxes on Distributions

 

For federal income tax purposes, distributions of the Fund’s net investment income are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income or as qualified dividend income. Tax treatment of distributions of net capital gains (if any) depends on how long the Fund held the investments that generated such gains, not on how long you have held your Shares. Sales of assets held by the Fund for more than one year generally produce long-term capital gains or losses; sales of assets held for one year or less generally produce short-term capital gains or losses. Distributions that the Fund reports as capital gain dividends (“Capital Gain Dividends”) are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains. Distributions of short-term capital gains are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether received in cash or reinvested in additional Shares.

Distributions the Fund reports as “qualified dividend income” are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding-period and other requirements are met. “Qualified dividend income” generally includes dividends from U.S. corporations and from certain qualified foreign corporations. Corporate shareholders may be eligible for a dividends-received deduction with respect to portions of dividends attributable to qualifying dividends the Fund receives from U.S. corporations, subject to applicable limitations.

Shortly after the close of each calendar year, you will receive information describing the character of distributions you received from the Fund.

In addition to federal income tax, certain individuals, trusts, and estates are subject to a 3.8% Net Investment Income (“NII”) tax. This tax is imposed on the lesser of: (i) net investment income (as reduced by properly allocable deductions) or (ii) the excess of modified adjusted gross income over specified thresholds ($250,000 for married filing jointly, $200,000 for single filers, and $125,000 for married filing separately). The Fund’s distributions and any capital gains realized on a sale or redemption of Shares are generally included in net investment income for purposes of the NII tax.

In general, distributions are taxable to you in the year paid. However, certain distributions paid in January may be treated as paid on December 31 of the year prior. In general, distributions are taxable even if they are paid from income or gains earned by the Fund before you purchased Shares (and thus were reflected in the Shares’ NAV at the time of purchase).

You may want to avoid purchasing Shares immediately before a dividend or other distribution, since the distribution will generally be taxable to you even if, in economic terms, it represents a return of part of your investment.

If you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a U.S. resident (or are a foreign entity), distributions (other than Capital Gain Dividends) will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-related dividend” or a “short-term capital gain dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% withholding tax, provided other requirements are met.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) may require the Fund to withhold a 30% tax (generally not refundable) from distributions of net investment income made to: (A) certain foreign financial institutions that do not satisfy applicable FATCA reporting or due-diligence requirements (or that are not treated as compliant under an applicable intergovernmental agreement), and (B) certain non-financial foreign entities that do not provide required information regarding substantial U.S. owners. FATCA may also affect the Fund’s returns on foreign investments or a shareholder’s returns if Shares are held through a foreign intermediary. Consult your tax adviser regarding FATCA’s application and any related certification, compliance, reporting, and withholding obligations.

The Fund (or a financial intermediary, such as a broker, through which a shareholder holds Shares) is generally required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a portion of taxable distributions and sale or redemption proceeds if the shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, has underreported certain interest or dividend income, or fails to certify that they are not subject to such withholding.

Taxes When Shares are Sold on the Exchange

 

Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares generally is treated as long-term capital gain or loss if Shares have been held for more than one year, and as short-term capital gain or loss if Shares have been held for one year or less. However, a capital loss on Shares held six months or less is treated as long-term to the extent of Capital Gain Dividends received with respect to such Shares. Losses are disallowed to the extent you acquire (including through dividend reinvestment) substantially identical Shares within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the sale.

Taxes on Purchases and Redemptions of Creation Units

 

An authorized participant (“AP”) whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar and who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally recognizes gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and (ii) the AP’s aggregate basis in the securities delivered plus any cash paid. An AP that exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the AP’s basis in the Creation Units and (ii) the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of the securities received plus any cash received. The IRS may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units is not currently deductible (e.g., under the “wash sale” rules for an AP not marking to market, or on the theory that there was no significant change in economic position). APs should consult their own tax advisers about the application of wash sale rules and the timing of any loss deductions.

Any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares comprising the Creation Units were held for more than one year, and as short-term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less.

The Fund may include a payment of cash in addition to, or in place of, delivering a basket of securities when redeeming Creation Units. Because the Fund invests in fixed-income securities that may be less liquid or difficult to transfer in-kind, the Fund generally expects to effect a significant portion of its creations and redemptions in cash. To raise cash for such redemptions, the Fund may sell portfolio securities, potentially recognizing investment income and/or capital gains or losses it might not have recognized if the redemption had been satisfied entirely in-kind. As a result, including cash in redemption proceeds can reduce the Fund's tax efficiency.

 

The foregoing discussion summarizes some possible consequences under current federal tax law of investing in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. You may also be subject to foreign, state, and local taxes on Fund distributions and on sales of Shares. Consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of investing in Shares under all applicable laws. For additional information, see “Federal Income Taxes” in the SAI.

DISTRIBUTION

[ ] (the "Distributor"), the Fund's distributor, is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, serves as the Fund's distributor for Creation Units on an agency basis and does not make a secondary market in Shares. The Distributor does not set Fund policies or select the portfolio securities of the Fund. The Distributor's principal address is [ ].

The Board has adopted a Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each year for distribution-related services in connection with the sale and distribution of its Shares.

The Fund does not currently pay Rule 12b-1 fees and there are no current plans to impose such fees. If Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because they are paid from Fund assets on an ongoing basis, these fees would increase the cost of your investment over time and may exceed certain other types of sales charges.

 

PREMIUM/DISCOUNT INFORMATION

When available, information about how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a price above (at a premium to) or below (at a discount to) the Fund's NAV will be provided on the Fund's w ebsite at www.corgifunds.com .

 

ADDITIONAL NOTICES

Shares are not sponsored, endorsed, or promoted by the Exchange. The Exchange is not responsible for, and has not participated in, the determination of the timing, prices, or quantities of Shares to be issued, nor in the determination or calculation of any equation by which to determine redeemability of Shares. The Exchange has no duty or liability to shareholders for the administration, marketing, or trading of the Shares.

Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange have any liability for lost profits or for indirect, punitive, special, or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

The Adviser and the Fund make no representation or warranty, express or implied, to owners of Shares or to the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund specifically.

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") sets forth a detailed process for Shareholders to bring derivative or direct actions, designed to permit legitimate claims while limiting the costs, distraction, and other harm that can result from spurious demands and litigation. Under the Declaration of Trust, before bringing a derivative action, a Shareholder (together with any co-plaintiffs) must have continuously owned, both at the time of the alleged wrong and throughout the litigation, at least 10% of the Outstanding Shares of each Series or Class that would be affected by the proposed action and must deliver to the Board a written demand stating with reasonable particularity (i) the alleged breach or wrong, (ii) the relief sought and (iii) the basis for the Shareholder's standing. The Trustees, or a committee of independent Trustees, shall have not less than 90 days to investigate the matter. If a majority of the independent Trustees, after such investigation, determine in good faith that the requested action is not in the best interests of the Trust or the affected Series or Class, that decision is binding unless the plaintiff proves that the Trustees failed to satisfy the applicable standard of conduct. The Declaration of Trust further provides that a Shareholder may assert a direct claim only for an injury distinct from the injury suffered by Shareholders generally; claims that affect Shareholders proportionally must be brought derivatively. If a derivative or direct action is dismissed for failure to comply with these requirements, the court may require the plaintiff Shareholder(s) to reimburse the Trust, Series or Class for its reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees. These provisions are generally intended to apply to internal-affairs claims and do not apply to claims brought under the federal securities laws.

The Declaration of Trust provides that any civil action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Trust, a Series, the Declaration of Trust or the rights of Shareholders shall be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if that court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, another state or federal court located in Delaware). The Declaration of Trust further provides that each Shareholder (and other persons dealing with the Trust) irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of, and waives any objection to venue in, those courts and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury in any such proceeding. These provisions may limit a Shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or to have a jury trial, and may increase the costs associated with bringing such claims. The enforceability of such provisions may be uncertain in some circumstances, including with respect to claims arising under the federal securities laws.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST

 

The Trust is an open-end management investment company with multiple series, each an exchange-traded fund. This SAI relates to the Fund. The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed on October 27, 2025. The Trust is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company, and the offering of shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust is governed by its Board of Trustees (the "Board"). The Corgi Money Market ETF seeks current income as is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser") will serve as investment adviser to the Fund.

 

The Fund offers and issues Shares at their net asset value ("NAV") only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares (each, a "Creation Unit"). Because the Fund operates as a government money market fund holding short-term U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements, the Trust generally anticipates effecting creations and redemptions for the Fund in cash rather than in-kind. The Trust may permit or require the substitution of a cash amount ("Deposit Cash") in lieu of some or all Deposit Securities. Shares are expected to be listed on [ ] (the "Exchange") and trade on the Exchange at market prices, which may differ from NAV. Shares are redeemable only in Creation Unit aggregations and, in general, in exchange for portfolio securities and a specified cash payment, or instead, entirely for cash. As a practical matter, mostly only institutions or large investors, known as "Authorized Participants" or "APs," purchase or redeem Creation Units. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, Shares are not individually redeemable.

 

Shares may be issued in advance of receipt of some or all Deposit Securities, subject to conditions set forth in the participant agreement among the AP, the distributor, and the transfer agent (the "Participant Agreement"), including a requirement to maintain with the Trust cash at least equal to a specified percentage of the value of any missing Deposit Securities. The Trust may impose a transaction fee on each creation or redemption, which may include transaction costs associated with buying or selling portfolio securities. In all cases, such fees will be limited in accordance with SEC requirements applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities. As with other publicly traded securities, brokers' commissions on secondary-market transactions are negotiated with your broker at customary rates.

 

The Fund’s fiscal year ends September 30.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES, AND RELATED RISKS

 

The Fund’s investment objective and principal investment strategies are described in the Prospectus under “Investment Objective” and “Principal Investment Strategies,” respectively. The information below supplements, and should be read together with, the Prospectus. For a description of certain permitted investments, see “Description of Permitted Investments” in this SAI.

With respect to the Fund’ investments, unless otherwise noted, if a percentage limitation is satisfied at the time of investment or contract, a subsequent increase or decrease due to market movements or redemptions will not, by itself, result in a violation of that limitation.

Diversification

The Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, a diversified fund cannot change its classification from diversified to non-diversified without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

 

General Risks

The value of the Fund's portfolio securities may fluctuate with changes in an issuer's or counterparty's financial condition, with issuer-specific or industry-specific developments, and with broader economic or political conditions. An investor in the Fund could lose money over short or long periods.

 

There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for all securities held by the Fund. Market liquidity for fixed-income securities, and other structured products, may depend on whether dealers and market makers are willing to make markets in particular instruments. There can be no assurance that a market will be made or maintained, or that any such market will remain liquid. The price at which securities may be sold, and the value of Shares, can be adversely affected if trading markets for the Fund's portfolio securities are limited or absent, or if bid/ask spreads are wide.

 

Financial markets, domestic and foreign, have at times experienced unusually high volatility. Continuing events and market turbulence may adversely affect Fund performance.

DESCRIPTION OF PERMITTED INVESTMENTS

 

The following describes the investments and techniques the Fund may use, and the related risks. The Fund will employ any investment or practice below only if it is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and permitted by the Fund’s stated policies. Some items discussed in this SAI are not principal strategies, as disclosed in the Prospectus; while the Fund is permitted to use them, it is not required to do so.

Borrowing

Although the Fund does not expect to borrow, it may do so to the extent allowed by the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may borrow up to one-third (1/3) of its total assets. Any borrowing is expected to be for short-term or emergency purposes, not for investment, and would be repaid promptly. Borrowing magnifies the effect on NAV of changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. Amounts borrowed bear interest (which may or may not be offset by earnings on purchased securities), and maintaining a credit facility may involve minimum balances, commitment fees, or other costs that increase the effective cost of borrowing.

 

Cash Equivalents and Money Market Instruments

 

The Fund may hold cash, cash equivalents, money market instruments, and short-term obligations for liquidity management and portfolio management purposes. These may include U.S. Treasury bills, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, repurchase agreements, and shares of money market funds (including money market funds advised by the Adviser). To the extent the Fund invests in money market funds, it will indirectly bear the fees and expenses of such funds. Money market instruments generally offer lower returns than longer-term or riskier investments. The Corgi Money Market ETF invests primarily in such instruments as part of its principal investment strategy.

 

Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Shares

 

The Fund may invest in shares of other exchange-traded funds. To the extent the Fund invests in other ETFs, it will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses of such ETFs, including management fees, in addition to the Fund's own expenses. ETF shares may trade at a premium or discount to NAV and are subject to secondary market trading risks.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and broker-dealers whereby the Fund purchases securities and the seller simultaneously agrees to repurchase them at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price reflects an agreed-upon interest rate, and the transaction is in effect a short-term loan collateralized by the purchased securities. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the counterparty defaults or becomes insolvent; however, the Fund's risk is limited to the extent that the value of the collateral exceeds the repurchase price. The Fund will enter into repurchase agreements only with counterparties deemed creditworthy by the Adviser. The Corgi Money Market ETF may invest a significant percentage of its assets in repurchase agreements fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities.

 

U.S. Government Securities

 

The Fund may invest in U.S. Government securities, which include obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. Certain obligations issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (also referred to as government sponsored enterprises or "GSEs") are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. For example, debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. U.S. government securities are subject to interest rate risk but generally do not involve the credit risks associated with investments in other types of debt securities. The yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than the yields available from other debt securities. The Corgi Money Market ETF invests primarily in U.S. Government securities as part of its principal investment strategy.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities

 

The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There is also the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.

 

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance depends on the investment decisions of the Adviser. In managing the Fund, the portfolio managers use their judgment and apply various analytical methods and investment strategies in making investment decisions. There is no guarantee that the techniques and analysis employed will produce the desired results, and the Fund may underperform its benchmark or funds with similar investment objectives.

 

Cash Transaction Risk. The Fund may effect some or all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund's shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV.

 

Collateral Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in money market funds to provide liquidity or to accommodate unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. Money market funds are subject to management fees and other expenses. An investment in a money market fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

 

Counterparty Risk. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty's financial condition, market activities and developments, or other reasons. A counterparty's inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund. The Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed.

 

Credit Risk. The Fund's investments expose it to credit risk on (i) the U.S. Government, its agencies, and instrumentalities, including obligations of government sponsored enterprises (such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the Federal Home Loan Banks) that are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States, and (ii) the Fund's repurchase agreement counterparties. An actual or perceived decline in the creditworthiness of any such issuer, guarantor, or counterparty, including a credit rating downgrade, may reduce the value and liquidity of the Fund's holdings, may delay or reduce payments owed to the Fund, and may adversely affect the Fund's NAV and yield. Credit risk may increase during economic downturns or periods of market stress.

 

ETF Risks. The Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and is subject to risks associated with ETF structure and secondary-market trading. These include potential reliance on a limited number of market makers and Authorized Participants, the possibility that Shares trade at prices different from NAV, and the trading and transaction-cost considerations described below.

 

·         AP and Market Maker Dependence Risk. The Fund relies on a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund (each, an Authorized Participant or "AP"). There may also be a limited number of market makers and other liquidity providers active in Shares. If (i) APs exit the business, become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other APs step in, or (ii) market makers and/or other liquidity providers leave the market or materially scale back their activity and no replacements emerge, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and, in extreme cases, could face delisting.

 

·         Brokerage Commissions and Bid-Ask Spread Risk. Investors transacting in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions and may bear costs associated with the bid-ask spread. These costs tend to rise when trading volume is low or markets are stressed and can materially reduce investment results, especially for frequent or small transactions.

 

·         Premium/Discount to NAV Risk. Shares trade at market prices that may be above (premium) or below (discount) NAV, particularly when market volatility is elevated, trading volume is limited, or the portfolio experiences disruptions.

 

·         Trading. Although Shares are listed for trading on [ ] (the "Exchange") and may trade on other U.S. exchanges, there is no assurance that Shares will trade with active volume, or trade at all, on any exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares and the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio holdings may deteriorate.

 

Income Risk. The Fund's income may decrease due to declining interest rates or other factors. In market environments where short-term interest rates are very low, the Fund's yield may be very low, and the Fund could have a negative yield. This decline in income can occur because many of the debt instruments held by the Fund have floating or variable interest rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk. The market value of bonds and other fixed-income securities changes in response to interest rate changes and other factors. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of fixed-income securities will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. In general, the market price of securities with longer maturities will go up or down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities. Because the Fund invests in short-term securities, its interest rate sensitivity is generally lower than that of funds investing in longer-term instruments. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates during a period of historically low interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to shareholders.

 

Large Shareholder and Large-Scale Redemption Risk. Certain shareholders, including an Authorized Participant, a third-party investor, the Adviser, an affiliate of the Adviser, or another entity, may from time to time own or manage a substantial amount of Fund shares, or may invest in the Fund and hold their investment for a limited period of time. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder would not redeem their investment. Redemptions of a large number of Fund shares could require the Fund to dispose of assets to meet the redemption requests, which can accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or capital gains and cause the Fund to make taxable distributions earlier than the Fund otherwise would have.

 

Limited Shareholder Rights Risk. The Trust's governing documents limit certain shareholder rights. For example, the Trust generally does not hold annual meetings of shareholders, permits removal of a Trustee only by the remaining Trustees, and requires shareholders holding at least 10% of outstanding Shares to take certain derivative actions. The Trust's Declaration of Trust provides that certain disputes must be resolved in a specific state court and contains a jury trial waiver. These provisions may discourage certain types of claims or limit shareholders' ability to bring claims in a judicial forum they consider favorable.

Liquidity Risk. Certain fixed-income investments may become less liquid, particularly during periods of market stress, reduced dealer balance sheet capacity, or heightened volatility. Reduced liquidity may make it more difficult or costly to buy or sell securities at desired times or prices, may increase portfolio transaction costs, and may adversely affect the Fund's performance.

 

Market Risk. The value of the Fund's portfolio may decrease due to short-term market movements and over more prolonged market downturns. Market risk may be magnified if certain social, political, economic, and other conditions and events (such as financial institution failures, economic recessions, tariffs, trade disputes, terrorism, war, armed conflicts, including related sanctions, social unrest, natural disasters, and epidemics and pandemics) adversely interrupt the global economy and financial markets. You could lose money.

 

Market Trading Risk. The Fund faces numerous market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for Fund shares (including through a trading halt), losses from trading in secondary markets, periods of high volatility, and disruptions in the process of creating and redeeming Fund shares. Any of these factors, among others, may lead to the Fund's shares trading in the secondary market at a premium or discount to NAV or to the intraday value of the Fund's portfolio holdings.

 

Money Market Fund Risk. The share price of the Fund can fall. Unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an ETF and its shares will be traded on the exchange and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares. The credit quality of the Fund's holdings can change rapidly in certain market environments, and the default of a single holding could have an adverse impact on the Fund's share price.

 

New Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a newly registered investment adviser and has limited experience managing a registered fund. As a result, there is no long-term track record against which an investor can judge the Adviser.

 

New Fund Risk. The Fund is newly organized and has limited or no operating history. There can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, that an active trading market for the Fund's shares will develop or be maintained, or that the Fund's shares' listing will continue unchanged.

 

Operational and Cybersecurity Risk. The Fund and its service providers are directly and indirectly susceptible to operational and technology risks, including those related to human errors, processing errors, communication errors, systems failures, cybersecurity incidents, and the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning ("AI"), which may result in losses for the Fund and its shareholders or may impair the Fund's operations.

 

Repurchase Agreement Risk. If the seller of a repurchase agreement defaults and the value of the repurchased securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss. If the seller becomes insolvent, the Fund's ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

 

Risks of Holding Cash. The Fund will at times hold cash positions, which may hurt the Fund's performance. Cash positions may also subject the Fund to additional risks and costs including any fees imposed by the Fund's custodian for large cash balances.

 

Security Selection Risk. While the Fund invests in short-term securities, it is possible that the securities in which the Fund invests will not perform as expected. This could cause the Fund's yield to lag behind those of similar money market funds and could result in a decline in share price.

 

U.S. Government Default Risk. Due to the rising U.S. government debt burden and potential limitations caused by the statutory debt ceiling, it is possible that the U.S. government may not be able to meet its financial obligations or that securities issued by the U.S. government may experience credit downgrades. Such a credit event may adversely impact the financial markets and the Fund.

 

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Different types of U.S. Government securities have different levels of credit risk. Securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and Government sponsored enterprises are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

 

U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary. Circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling."

 

Valuation Risk. Certain portfolio holdings, and potentially a significant portion of the Fund's portfolio, may be valued using factors other than market quotations. This may occur more frequently during periods of market stress or reduced liquidity. When market quotations are not readily available, investments are fair valued by the Adviser, and such methods may involve more subjectivity than the use of market quotations.

 

Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk. Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, variable and floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction of income received from such securities. Benchmark interest rates may not accurately track market interest rates. Although variable and floating rate securities are less sensitive to interest rate risk than fixed-rate securities, they are subject to credit risk and default risk, which could impair their value.

 

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments Risk. When-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.

 

Illiquid Investments and Restricted Securities

Under Rule 22e-4, the Fund may not acquire any illiquid investment if, immediately after purchase, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in illiquid investments. An "illiquid investment" is one the Fund reasonably expects it cannot sell or dispose of, under current market conditions, within seven calendar days without materially affecting the investment's market value. The Fund maintains a liquidity risk management program and procedures to identify illiquid investments pursuant to Rule 22e-4. The 15% limit is observed on an ongoing basis. If the Fund's holdings of illiquid investments exceed 15% of net assets because of market activity, liquidity changes, or other factors, the Fund will report the occurrence to the Board and will make determinations and take steps, consistent with Rule 22e-4 and Board-approved procedures, to reduce illiquid investments to or below 15% of net assets within a reasonable period.

The Fund may purchase restricted securities that may be resold to institutional investors and that, under the Fund's liquidity program, may be determined not to be illiquid. Many such securities trade in the institutional market under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and are referred to as Rule 144A securities.

Illiquid investments generally involve more risk than comparable, readily marketable securities. They may trade at a discount, may be harder to sell at a fair price or in a timely manner, and may prevent the Fund from taking advantage of market opportunities. Risks are most acute when the Fund needs cash (for example, during periods of net redemptions), potentially necessitating borrowing or sales at unfavorable prices.

Illiquid investments are often privately placed and may not be listed or traded on established markets. They may not be freely transferable under applicable law or due to contractual resale restrictions. If privately placed securities can only be sold through private negotiations, the realized price may be below the Fund's purchase price or below fair value. Issuers that are not public may be subject to less stringent disclosure and investor-protection requirements. If registration is required before resale, the Fund may bear those costs. Private placements may involve smaller, less seasoned issuers with limited product lines, markets, financial resources, or management depth, and the Fund may receive material non-public information that can restrict trading.

Investment Company Securities

The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including money market funds and ETFs, subject to Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Investing through another pooled vehicle exposes the Fund to that vehicle's risks. Fund shareholders will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the acquired fund's fees and expenses (including advisory fees), in addition to fees and expenses the Fund bears directly.

Under Section 12(d)(1), immediately after purchase the Fund may not: (1) own more than 3% of the acquired company's outstanding voting stock; (2) invest in the acquired company's securities with an aggregate value exceeding 5% of the Fund's total assets; or (3) invest in the securities of the acquired company and all other investment companies in excess of 10% of the Fund's total assets. To the extent permitted by law or regulation, the Fund may invest in money market funds beyond these limits.

Registered funds may invest in other investment companies beyond Section 12(d)(1) limits if certain conditions are met. The Fund may rely on Rule 12d1-4, which provides an exemption allowing investments in other registered funds, including ETFs, subject to conditions (for example, the Fund and its advisory group may not control, individually or in the aggregate, an acquired fund, generally meaning ownership of no more than 25% of the voting securities of a registered open-end fund).

The Fund may also rely on Section 12(d)(1)(F) and Rule 12d1-3, which provide an exemption permitting investment in other registered funds (including ETFs) if, among other conditions: (1) the Fund, together with its affiliates, acquires no more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any acquired fund; and (2) sales loads on Shares do not exceed FINRA Rule 2830 limits.

The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds for cash management, cash equitization, during portfolio transitions, or to facilitate investment operations. Such use may increase costs relative to holding investments directly.

Money Market Funds

The Fund may invest in underlying money market funds that seek to maintain a stable $1 NAV ("stable NAV" funds) or whose share prices fluctuate ("variable NAV" funds). Investments in stable NAV funds can still lose value. Variable NAV funds can be worth more or less than the Fund paid when sold. Neither type is designed to provide capital appreciation. Money market funds may impose liquidity fees or temporarily suspend redemptions if liquidity falls below required thresholds. Shares of money market funds are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any government agency, and there is no assurance that a money market fund will maintain a stable price.

Other Short-Term Instruments

For liquidity or other purposes, the Fund may hold short-term instruments on an ongoing basis, including but not limited to: (1) shares of money market funds; (2) obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises); (3) negotiable certificates of deposit ("CDs"), bankers' acceptances, fixed time deposits, and other obligations of U.S. and non-U.S. banks (including foreign branches) and any similar institutions; (4) commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's Investors Service or A-1 by S&P Global Ratings, or of comparable quality if unrated as determined by the Adviser; (5) non-convertible corporate debt with remaining maturities of 397 days or less that meets Rule 2a-7 rating criteria; and (6) short-term, U.S. dollar-denominated obligations of non-U.S. banks (including their U.S. branches) that, in the Adviser's opinion, are of comparable quality to eligible U.S. bank obligations. Such instruments may be purchased on a current or forward-settled basis. Time deposits are non-negotiable bank deposits for a stated period and rate. Bankers' acceptances are time drafts drawn on banks, typically in international trade.

Forward-settling short-term instruments that do not settle within 35 days, or that otherwise use a non-standard settlement cycle, may be treated as derivatives under Rule 18f-4.

Securities Lending

If approved by the Board, the Fund may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers. Borrowers must provide collateral at least equal to the current value of the loaned securities and maintain such collateral while the loan is outstanding. The Fund may recall a securities loan at any time and recall the securities. The Fund will receive the value of any interest or cash/non-cash distributions on loaned securities; substitute payments in lieu of dividends generally do not qualify as qualified dividend income.

For cash-collateralized loans, the borrower typically receives a fee based on the cash collateral; the Fund seeks to earn more on reinvested cash collateral than it pays to the borrower. For non-cash collateral, the borrower pays the Fund a fee based on the value of securities on loan. Cash collateral may be reinvested in short-term instruments, either directly or through joint accounts or money market funds, which may be managed by the Adviser.

The Fund may share a portion of lending income with borrowers as described above and with one or more lending agents approved by the Board. Lending agents administer the program under Board-approved guidelines, including delivering and recalling securities, obtaining and maintaining collateral, monitoring collateral and loan values daily, requesting collateral adjustments, and providing recordkeeping and accounting.

While securities are on loan, the Fund generally does not have the right to vote those securities. The Fund may recall securities on loan in order to vote if the Adviser determines that a particular vote is expected to have a material effect on the Fund and that recalling the securities is in the best interests of shareholders.

Securities lending involves risks, including operational risk (settlement or accounting issues), "gap" risk (a mismatch between returns on collateral reinvestment and fees owed to the borrower), and credit, legal, counterparty, and market risks. If a borrower fails to return securities, the Fund could incur a loss if collateral liquidation proceeds do not at least equal the value of the loaned securities plus costs to purchase replacements.

Tax Risks

You should consider the tax treatment of an investment in Shares. The tax information in the Prospectus and this SAI is general in nature. Consult your tax adviser about the federal, state, local, and non-U.S. tax consequences of investing in Shares.

Unless Shares are held through a tax-deferred or other tax-advantaged account (such as an individual retirement account), you should consider potential tax consequences when the Fund makes distributions or when you sell Shares.

Use of derivatives and short-term instruments may affect the timing, amount, and character of the Fund's income and gains. Certain derivatives may be subject to special tax rules that can cause income to be recognized without a corresponding receipt of cash, can accelerate or defer recognition of income or loss, and can convert long-term capital gains into short-term capital gains. The Fund intends to monitor its investments and to structure its activities to qualify each taxable year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.

Temporary Defensive Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund seeks to remain fully invested in accordance with its principal strategy. In adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, the Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents, such as U.S. government obligations, investment-grade debt, and other money market instruments. Taking a defensive position may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. During any such defensive period, the Fund may hold a substantial portion of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

The Trust has adopted the following investment restrictions as fundamental policies with respect to the Fund. These restrictions cannot be changed for the Fund without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities. For purposes of the 1940 Act, a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities present (if holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy); or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

Except with the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities, the Fund may not:

·          Borrow money or issue senior securities, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, except as permitted by Section 18 of the 1940 Act. Under Section 18, the Fund may borrow money from banks provided the Fund maintains at least 300% asset coverage (i.e., borrowings do not exceed one-third of total assets, including the borrowed amount). Certain transactions that may technically constitute senior securities, including derivative instruments (e.g., futures, options, and swaps), reverse repurchase agreements, short sales, and when-issued or delayed-delivery purchases, are permitted to the extent the Fund complies with applicable SEC rules and guidance, including Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act (governing the use of derivatives).

·          Make loans, except that the Fund may (i) lend portfolio securities in accordance with its investment policies and applicable SEC guidance; (ii) enter into repurchase agreements; and (iii) acquire debt instruments and similar obligations in the ordinary course of pursuing its investment objective, in each case to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act.

·          Purchase or sell real estate, except when obtained through ownership of securities or other instruments and only to the extent allowed by the 1940 Act. This does not prevent the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business.

·          Purchase or sell commodities, except when exposure arises incidentally through other instruments and only as permitted by the 1940 Act. This does not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities.

·          Underwrite securities issued by other persons, except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, the Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund does not act as an underwriter in the traditional sense. However, when the Fund sells restricted securities or participates in a public offering of securities it holds, it may technically be considered an underwriter under the Securities Act. The Fund may also be deemed an underwriter when acquiring securities directly from an issuer for investment purposes.

6.     Concentrate its investments (that is, invest more than 25% of total assets) in any one industry or group of related industries, except that the Fund listed below will concentrate its investments in the industry or group of industries identified for that Fund:

 

Corgi Money Market ETF: U.S. Government securities

 

For purposes of this restriction, the Corgi Money Market ETF treats Money Market Securities (as defined in the Prospectus) as the Fund’s industry of concentration. Investment companies and municipal securities are not treated as belonging to any industry.

 

For purposes of applying the concentration policy, the Fund may classify issuers by industry using any reasonable industry classification system, including SIC, NAICS, GICS, ICB, or a classification system developed by the Adviser. Classifications and the levels at which concentration is measured may differ from those used by other future series of the Trust.

 

EXCHANGE LISTING AND TRADING

Shares are listed for trading and trade throughout the day on the Exchange.

The Exchange may halt trading in the Shares for reasons that, in the judgment of the Exchange, make trading inadvisable, including without limitation extraordinary market volatility; trading halts in securities, instruments, or financial indexes underlying the Fund's portfolio; or the unavailability of key information such as an intraday indicative value.

There can be no assurance that the Fund will continue to meet the Exchange's requirements necessary to maintain the listing of Shares. The Exchange may, but is not required to, remove from listing under any of the following circumstances: (1) the Exchange becomes aware that the Fund is no longer eligible to operate in reliance on Rule 6c-11 under the 1940 Act; (2) the Fund no longer complies with the Exchange's requirements for Shares; or (3) such other event or condition exists that, in the opinion of the Exchange, makes continued listing imprudent. The Exchange will also delist the Shares upon the Fund's termination.

The Trust reserves the right to adjust the price levels of Shares in the future to help maintain convenient trading ranges for investors. Any such changes would be implemented via stock splits or reverse stock splits.

MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST

Board Responsibilities

The Board oversees the management and operations of the Trust. As with other mutual funds and ETFs, the day-to-day management and operations of the Trust are carried out by service providers to the Trust, including the Adviser, the Distributor, the Administrator, the Custodian, and the Transfer Agent, each of which is discussed elsewhere in this SAI. The Board has appointed certain senior personnel of the Administrator as officers of the Trust, with responsibility to monitor the Trust's operations and report to the Board. In carrying out its oversight, the Board receives regular reports from these officers and from the Trust's service providers. For example, the Treasurer reports on financial reporting matters and the President reports on operational matters. In addition, the Adviser provides regular reports regarding the investment strategy and performance of the Fund. The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who administers the Trust's compliance program and reports regularly to the Board on compliance matters. These reports are provided as part of formal Board meetings, typically held quarterly and often in person, during which the Board reviews recent operations. Between formal meetings, members of the Board may also meet with management in less formal settings to discuss Trust matters. The role of the Board, and of each Trustee, is one of oversight rather than day-to-day management; this oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust's investments, operations, or activities.

As part of its oversight function, the Board receives and reviews a variety of different risk management reports and discusses risk matters with appropriate management and other personnel. Because risk management encompasses many elements (for example, investment risk, issuer and counterparty risk, compliance risk, operational and business continuity risks), oversight of different categories of risk is handled in different ways. The Board meets regularly with the Chief Compliance Officer to discuss compliance and operational risks, and the Audit Committee meets with the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust's financial reporting function.

The full Board also receives reports from the Adviser regarding the Fund's investment risks. From time to time, the Board receives additional reports from the Administrator and the Adviser regarding enterprise risk management.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified or quantified; that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks; that certain risks (such as investment risk) may be necessary to achieve the Fund's goals; and that the processes and controls used to address risks have inherent limitations. Moreover, the risk reports provided to the Board are typically summaries. Most of the Fund's investment management and business affairs are conducted by or through the Adviser and other service providers, each operating under its own risk management policies and practices, which may differ from those of the Trust or from one another in priorities, resources, and control effectiveness. For these and other reasons, the Board's ability to monitor and manage risk, as a practical matter, has limitations.

Members of the Board.

The Board is composed of five members, three of whom are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees"). Nicolas S. Laqua serves as Chair of the Board and is an interested person of the Trust. The Board includes a majority (60%) of Independent Trustees.

The Board believes its current leadership structure is appropriate for the Trust. A Lead Independent Trustee acts as the primary liaison between the Independent Trustees and management; Conor M. Murray currently serves as Lead Independent Trustee. The Board further believes this structure supports effective oversight and facilitates the efficient flow of information from Fund management to the Independent Trustees.

Additional information about each Trustee appears below. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each Trustee is c/o Corgi ETF Trust I, 425 Bush St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94104.

Individual Trustee Qualifications.

The Board has determined that each Trustee brings skills, experience, and attributes that, in the aggregate, are appropriate for service on the Board given the Trust's business and structure. Among other things, the Trustees collectively bring experience in technology and data systems, corporate finance and capital markets, and venture formation and growth investing, as well as risk oversight and investment management oversight. The Board conducts an annual self-assessment of its effectiveness and that of its committees.

In addition, the Board has concluded that each Trustee should serve based on the following, among other factors:

Conor M. Murray. The Board has concluded that Mr. Murray should serve as a Trustee because of his leadership founding and operating an investment-technology firm and his prior work building systematic investing, risk-control, and portfolio-analytics platforms. In roles including Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of OpenInvest (a J.P. Morgan company), Technology Associate at Bridgewater Associates, and Analyst in Morgan Stanley’s Financial Sponsors M&A Group, he developed expertise in capital markets, portfolio construction and trading systems, data and enterprise technology, and operational oversight.

Bryant C. Lee. The Board has concluded that Mr. Lee should serve as a Trustee because of his operational, legal, and governance experience leading technology-enabled businesses and advising growth companies. As Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Vaero and previously as Co-founder/Chief Executive Officer and later Strategic Advisor at Cognition IP, with earlier service as a patent litigation attorney at Covington & Burling LLP, Mr. Lee brings experience in capital raising and budgeting, contract negotiation, intellectual-property strategy, regulatory and compliance oversight, and service-provider management.

Jennifer X. Benson. The Board has concluded that Ms. Benson should serve as a Trustee because of her investment and research experience in artificial intelligence and economics, including capital allocation and due diligence for early-stage technology companies. Ms. Benson serves as a Partner at Leonis Capital and previously conducted research at OpenAI and Epoch AI and served as a Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute (Oxford); she has doctoral-level training at Columbia University focused on AI/ML and economics.

Nicolas S. Laqua. The Board has concluded that Mr. Laqua should serve as a Trustee because of his executive leadership and oversight in acquisitions, capital markets, insurance distribution, and software businesses. This includes his service as Chair and Interested Trustee of Corgi ETF Trust I since 2025, his service as Chief Executive Officer and Director at Corgi Insurance Services, Inc. and Basket Entertainment, Inc., and as a Director at Bangers Snacks, Inc., together with practical familiarity with regulated insurance operations as a director and chief executive of an insurance agency. The Board believes Mr. Laqua's experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees, equip him to oversee financial reporting and disclosure controls, valuation, capital allocation and financing considerations, risk management, and service provider oversight with respect to the Trust. 

 

• Emily Z. Yuan. The Board has concluded that Ms. Yuan should serve as a Trustee because of her operational leadership and oversight in acquisitions, capital markets, insurance, and software companies. This includes her service as an Interested Trustee of Corgi ETF Trust I since 2025, her service as Chief Operations Officer and Director at Corgi Insurance Services, Inc. and Basket Entertainment, Inc., and as a Director at Bangers Snacks, Inc., together with technical training in computer science at Stanford University and her familiarity with regulatory requirements as a director of an insurance agency. The Board believes Ms. Yuan's experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees, demonstrate the requisite capabilities to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust. 


The information above is not exhaustive; many Trustee attributes involve qualitative elements such as integrity, diligence, judgment, the ability to work collaboratively, and a demonstrated commitment to shareholder interests. 

 

Board Committees

The Board has established the following standing committees, each composed solely of Independent Trustees and operating under a Board-approved written charter.

Audit Committee . The Audit Committee is composed of Bryant C. Lee (Chair), Conor M. Murray, and Jennifer X. Benson. The Audit Committee oversees the Trust's accounting, financial reporting, and internal control processes; the quality and integrity of the Trust's financial statements; and the qualifications, independence, and performance of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm. Among other responsibilities, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and permissible non-audit services for the Trust, reviews audit plans and results, and serves as a forum for communications among the independent auditors, management, and the Board regarding accounting and financial reporting matters. As of the date of this SAI, the Audit Committee met one time with respect to the Trust.


Qualified Legal Compliance Committee ("QLCC"). The Audit Committee also serves as the Trust's QLCC for purposes of the SEC's attorney conduct rules (17 C.F.R. Secs. 205.2(k), 205.3(c)). An attorney representing the Trust who becomes aware of evidence of a material violation by the Trust or by an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Trust may report such evidence to the QLCC as an alternative to the reporting process described in 17 C.F.R. Sec. 205.3(b). As of the date of this SAI, the QLCC has met one time with respect to the Trust.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee is composed of Jennifer X. Benson (Chair), Conor M. Murray, and Bryant C. Lee. The Committee identifies, evaluates, and recommends candidates for nomination to the Board as needed; oversees the Board's annual self-assessment; and reviews Trustee compensation. The Committee considers whether or not to consider shareholder-recommended nominees. The Committee meets as necessary, but at least annually. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations, the Committee has not yet met as of the date of this SAI.

Principal Officers of the Trust


The officers of the Trust manage its day-to-day operations subject to Board oversight. Unless otherwise noted, the address of each officer is c/o Corgi ETF Trust I, 425 Bush St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94104.

Trustee Ownership of Shares.

The Fund is required to show the dollar-amount ranges of each Trustee's beneficial ownership of Shares of the Fund and of the Trust's other series as of the end of the most recently completed calendar year. "Beneficial ownership" is determined in accordance with Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

As of [ ], none of the Independent Trustees or members of their immediate families owned securities, beneficially or of record, in the Adviser, the Distributor, or any of their affiliates. Accordingly, none of the Independent Trustees or their immediate family members had any direct or indirect interest, the value of which exceeds $120,000, in the Adviser, the Distributor, or any of their affiliates. In addition, during the two most recently completed calendar years, none of the Independent Trustees or their immediate family members engaged in any transaction(s) in an amount exceeding $120,000 in which the Adviser, the Distributor, or any affiliate thereof was a party.

Board Compensation.

The Independent Trustees are entitled to receive $500 per meeting for each meeting of the Board of Trustees and any committees attended, which is paid by the Adviser. The Independent Trustees will also be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings. The Trust has no pension or retirement plan. The Adviser expects to continue paying the $500 per-meeting fee in 2026, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Other than the foregoing, there are no arrangements or understandings for compensation to be paid to Trustees by the Fund, the Adviser, or any affiliate in connection with their service as Trustees.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS, CONTROL PERSONS AND MANAGEMENT OWNERSHIP 


A "principal shareholder" means any person that owns, of record or beneficially, 5% or more of the outstanding Shares of the Fund. A "control person" means any shareholder that beneficially owns, directly or through controlled entities, more than 25% of the voting securities of a company, or otherwise acknowledges the existence of control. Shareholders with more than 25% of the Fund's voting securities may be able to determine the outcome of matters presented for shareholder vote.

 

CODES OF ETHICS


The Trust and Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser") have each adopted Codes of Ethics (the "Codes") pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Codes are intended to prevent affiliated persons of the Trust and the Adviser from engaging in fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative conduct in connection with securities held or to be acquired by the Fund (which may also be held by persons subject to the Codes). Subject to preclearance and other restrictions, each Code permits personal securities transactions by personnel, including transactions in securities that may also be purchased or held by the Fund. The distributor (the "Distributor") expects to rely on the principal underwriter exception in Rule 17j-1(c)(3) to the extent applicable (including where the Distributor is not affiliated with the Trust or the Adviser and no officer, director or general partner of the Distributor serves in such capacity with the Trust or the Adviser). There can be no assurance that the Codes will prevent all such conduct. Copies of the Codes may be reviewed at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov. 

 

PROXY VOTING POLICIES


The Board has delegated responsibility for voting proxies for portfolio securities to the Adviser, subject to Board oversight. Proxies are to be voted in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders and in compliance with applicable law. The Adviser has adopted proxy voting policies and guidelines (the "Proxy Voting Policies"), which the Trust has approved for use when voting proxies on behalf of the Fund. Generally, absent a conflict of interest, the Adviser will vote for routine matters (for example, the election of directors, ratification of auditors, and conforming amendments to organizational documents), and will evaluate non-routine and contested matters case-by-case. The Proxy Voting Policies address the identification of, and response to, material conflicts of interest. The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer monitors the effectiveness of the Proxy Voting Policies. When available, information regarding how the Fund voted proxies during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 will be available (1) without charge upon request by email to contact@corgifunds.com, (2) on the Fund's website at www.corgifunds.com and (3) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. 

 

INVESTMENT ADVISER


Corgi Strategies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with its principal office at 425 Bush St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94104, serves as investment adviser to the Fund and is responsible for overall management of the Fund's business and day-to-day portfolio management, subject to the oversight of the Board. Corgi Strategies, LLC is registered as an Adviser with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

 

Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser (the "Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser provides investment advice and portfolio management and arranges for necessary operational services, including, without limitation, transfer agency, custody, fund administration and fund accounting, and other services reasonably required for Fund operations. In exchange for a single unitary advisory fee, the Adviser has agreed to pay, from the fee, substantially all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except for the "Excluded Expenses" described in the Prospectus. The Fund pays the Adviser an annual unitary advisory fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, based on the Fund's average daily net assets. The Adviser currently charges [ ] to the Fund. The specific fee rate for the Fund is set forth in Schedule A to the Advisory Agreement and may be amended from time to time in accordance with Article 8 of the Advisory Agreement.

 

The Advisory Agreement will continue in effect for an initial two-year term for the Fund and, thereafter, from year to year if such continuance is approved at least annually (1) by a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust or the Adviser, and (2) by either the Board or a vote of a majority of the outstanding Shares of the relevant Fund. The Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment and may be terminated by the Trust or the Adviser upon 60 days' written notice. The Adviser and its affiliates will not be liable to the Trust or any shareholder for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust or the Fund in connection with the performance of the Advisory Agreement, except for losses resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties. 

 

The Fund is new and, as of the date of this SAI, no advisory fees have been paid. 

 

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS

The Fund is managed by Anthony Aukett, a portfolio manager of the Adviser (the "Portfolio Manager").

Portfolio Manager Fund Ownership. The SEC requires disclosure of the dollar range of each Portfolio Manager's beneficial ownership of Shares of the Fund as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year, using prescribed ranges. As of the date of this SAI, no Shares were owned by the Portfolio Managers.

Portfolio Manager Compensation. Portfolio managers receive a fixed base salary and an annual discretionary bonus. Bonus determinations consider the Adviser's overall revenues and profitability, the portfolio managers' responsibilities and contributions to the investment process, teamwork, risk management and compliance. Compensation is not based on the investment performance of any particular account, including the Fund. Portfolio managers may also be eligible for long-term incentive awards (e.g., membership units or profit interests) that vest over 4 years. Portfolio managers do not receive compensation from index licensing revenue related to any Index.

Conflicts of Interest. Managing multiple accounts (including other registered funds and separate accounts) may create potential conflicts of interest. For example, a Portfolio Manager may have an incentive to favor an account that pays a performance-based fee or a higher advisory fee; knowledge of Fund trades could be used for the benefit of other accounts; or investment opportunities could be allocated among accounts. The Adviser has policies and procedures designed to identify and mitigate such conflicts, including trade aggregation and allocation procedures intended to provide fair and equitable treatment over time. 

THE DISTRIBUTOR


The Trust expects to enter into a distribution agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with [ ] (the "Distributor"), under which the Distributor will act as principal underwriter for the Fund and will distribute shares of the Fund ("Shares") on a best efforts basis. Shares are offered for sale by the Distributor only in Creation Units. The Distributor will not distribute Shares in amounts smaller than a Creation Unit and does not maintain a secondary market in Shares. The principal business address of the Distributor is [ ].

 

Acting as agent for the Trust, the Distributor will review and transmit orders for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units. Any subscription or order will not be binding on the Fund until accepted by the Trust or its designee. The Distributor is, or will be, a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of FINRA.

 

The Distributor may enter into arrangements with securities dealers and other firms ("Soliciting Dealers") to solicit orders for Creation Units of Shares. Such Soliciting Dealers may also be Authorized Participants (as described in "Procedures for Purchase and Redemption of Creation Units" below) or participants in DTC.

The Distribution Agreement will remain in effect for an initial two-year term from its effective date and may continue from year to year thereafter if such continuance is approved annually (1) by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (2) by a majority of the Independent Trustees who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Distribution Agreement or any related agreement, cast in person or as otherwise permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Distribution Agreement may be terminated without penalty by the Trust on 60 days' written notice, when authorized either by a majority vote of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund or by a vote of a majority of the Board (including a majority of the Independent Trustees), or by the Distributor on 60 days' written notice, and will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment. The Distribution Agreement limits the Distributor's liability to losses resulting from the Distributor's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations thereunder.

 

The Fund is newly organized. As of the date of this SAI, no underwriting commissions have been incurred and the Distributor has not retained any amounts.

 

Intermediary Compensation. From its own resources and not from Fund assets, the Adviser or its affiliates may make payments to broker-dealers, banks, and other financial intermediaries ("Intermediaries") in connection with activities related to the Fund, including marketing, education, and training support (for example, conferences, webinars, or printed materials). These arrangements are not financed by the Fund, are not included in the fee and expense information in the Prospectus, and do not affect the price investors pay to buy Shares or the proceeds investors receive when selling Shares. Such payments may be significant to an Intermediary and may create conflicts of interest by incentivizing the Intermediary or its financial professionals to recommend the Fund over other investments. Investors should contact their advisers or other financial professionals for more information about any such compensation. Intermediary information is current only as of the date of this SAI. Any payments made by the Adviser or its affiliates may create an incentive for an Intermediary to encourage customers to purchase Shares.

 

Such compensation may be provided to Intermediaries that offer services to the Fund, including marketing and educational support (for example, through conferences, webinars, or printed materials). The Adviser will periodically review whether to continue these payments. Compensation to an Intermediary may be significant, and amounts that Intermediaries pay to your adviser, broker, or other investment professional, if any, may also be significant to them. Because Intermediaries may determine which investment options to make available or recommend, and what services to provide in connection with various products, based on the payments they receive or are eligible to receive, these arrangements create conflicts of interest between the Intermediary and its clients. For instance, such financial incentives may lead an Intermediary to recommend the Fund over other investments. The same conflict of interest may arise with respect to your adviser, broker, or other investment professional if they receive similar payments from their Intermediary firm.

 

Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plan") for the Fund. No payments under the Plan are expected to be made during the twelve (12) months from the date of this SAI. Fees under the Plan may be imposed only after approval by the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees.

 

Continuance of the Plan must be approved annually by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust and by a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or in any related agreements (the "Independent Trustees"). The Plan may be continued from year to year only if, at least annually, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concludes that continuation of the Plan is likely to benefit shareholders. The Plan may be terminated at any time by a vote of the Board or by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund.

 

The Plan requires quarterly written reports to be provided to the Board of the amounts expended under the Plan and the purposes for which such expenditures were made. The Plan may not be amended to increase materially the amount that may be spent thereunder without approval by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. All material amendments of the Plan require approval by a majority of the Trustees of the Trust and a majority of the Independent Trustees.

 

Under the Plan, the Fund may pay the Distributor an annual fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Plan is characterized as a compensation plan because any distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee will be paid to the Distributor without regard to the Distributor's actual distribution expenses or payments to other financial intermediaries. The Trust intends to administer the Plan, if implemented, in accordance with its terms and applicable FINRA rules concerning sales charges.


Subject to applicable law and regulation, payments under the Plan may be used to finance any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of Creation Units of the Fund or to provide, or arrange for others to provide, shareholder services and the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Such activities may include, but are not limited to: (1) delivering current Prospectuses, reports, notices, and similar materials to prospective purchasers of Creation Units; (2) advertising and other marketing or promotional services; (3) compensating others, including Authorized Participants with whom the Distributor has written agreements, for providing shareholder servicing on behalf of the Fund; (4) compensating certain Authorized Participants for assistance in distributing Creation Units, including related travel and communication expenses and the salaries and/or commissions of sales personnel; (5) payments to financial institutions and intermediaries such as banks, savings and loan associations, insurance companies, investment advisers, broker-dealers, mutual fund supermarkets, and affiliates of the Trust's service providers as compensation for services or reimbursement of expenses related to distribution assistance; (6) facilitating communications with beneficial owners of Shares, including the cost of providing, or paying others to provide, services to such beneficial owners (for example, responding to inquiries related to shareholder accounts); and (7) such other services and obligations as may be set forth in the Distribution Agreement. 

 

ADMINISTRATOR

 

[ ]  (the "Administrator") serves as administrator and fund accountant to the Trust and the Fund. The Administrator is located at [ ]. Under an administration agreement between the Trust and the Administrator, the Administrator provides administrative, accounting, and related services to the Trust and the Fund, which may include calculation of net asset value, preparation of financial statements and other regulatory filings, tax and financial reporting support, compliance and governance support, and coordination of service providers. Subject to Board oversight, the Administrator may provide individuals to serve as officers of the Trust.

 

As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to fees as set forth in the administration agreement, as well as reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Fund is new, and the Administrator has not received any fees from the Fund as of the date of this SAI. 

 

TRANSFER AGENT AND ETF ORDER MANAGEMENT

 

[ ] (the "Transfer Agent") serves as transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, and ETF order-taking agent for the Fund. The Transfer Agent is located at [ ]. The Transfer Agent maintains the records of Creation Unit holders, processes orders for the purchase and redemption of Creation Units, and performs certain other related services. The Transfer Agent is entitled to fees and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses as set forth in its agreement with the Trust. In this capacity, the Transfer Agent does not have responsibility for the management of any Fund, the determination of investment policy, or any matter relating to the distribution of Shares. 

 

CUSTODIAN

 

Pursuant to a custody agreement, [ ] (the "Custodian"), located at [ ], serves as custodian of the Fund's assets. The Custodian holds the assets of the Fund, maintains asset records, collects income, and performs other customary custodial services. The Custodian may appoint domestic and foreign sub-custodians as permitted by applicable law. The Custodian is entitled to fees based on the Fund's assets and to reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, including settlement charges. 

 

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

[ ] serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust and the Fund. 

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DISCLOSURE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

The Board has approved written policies and procedures governing the disclosure of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings (the "Holdings Disclosure Policy"). For each Business Day on which the Fund is open for business, the Fund's full portfolio holdings are made publicly available through financial reporting and news services, including on publicly available internet websites, and/or on the Trust's website at www.corgifunds.com. In addition, the composition of the Deposit Securities applicable to purchases and redemptions of Creation Units is generally disseminated prior to the opening of trading on the Exchange (as defined in the Prospectus) through the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC").

For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund intends to make complete, daily portfolio information available, subject to applicable law and Exchange requirements. For the Fund, daily disclosure includes derivatives and financing positions (such as repurchase agreement positions and associated collateral) and any associated cash and collateral holdings.

 

The Holdings Disclosure Policy permits disclosure of portfolio information to the Trust's service providers and other parties that have a legitimate business need for the information to provide services to the Trust, including the administrator, custodian, transfer agent and ETF order management agent, distributor, pricing and data vendors, auditors, legal counsel, index calculation agents, and other similar providers (collectively, "Service Providers"). Any such disclosure is made under conditions of confidentiality and solely for the purpose of providing services to the Trust. No Fund, the Adviser, or any affiliate receives compensation or other consideration in connection with the disclosure of non-public portfolio holdings information, other than fees paid to Service Providers for services rendered.

 

The Trust's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") administers the Holdings Disclosure Policy, including maintaining a list of Service Providers and other parties that receive non-public holdings information and the timing of such disclosures, and reports to the Board at least annually regarding the operation of the policy and any material issues that have arisen.

 

Subject to the Holdings Disclosure Policy, the CCO may authorize immaterial exceptions when the CCO determines that a disclosure serves a legitimate business purpose, is in the best interests of shareholders, and is subject to appropriate confidentiality protections. Any such exceptions will be documented and reported to the Board. 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARES

 

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the "Declaration of Trust") of Corgi ETF Trust I (the "Trust") authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share, in one or more series and classes. The Fund is a separate series of the Trust. Each share of the Fund represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets of that Fund and is entitled to dividends and distributions, when and if declared by the Board, and to a pro rata share of the Fund's net assets upon liquidation. Shares are fully paid and non-assessable when issued, and shareholders have no preemptive or cumulative voting rights. Each Share entitles its holder to one vote. The Trustees may establish additional series or classes and may divide or combine shares into a greater or lesser number without shareholder approval, as permitted by the Declaration of Trust. All consideration received for Shares of a particular series, and all assets in which such consideration is invested, belong to that series and are subject to its liabilities.

 

Shares are issued only in book-entry form. The Trust does not issue share certificates. Shares are registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee and are held in the account of a DTC Participant (or Indirect Participant). Beneficial ownership of Shares is reflected on the records of DTC and its participants, and transfers of ownership are effected only through those records. The Trust, the Fund, and their transfer agent do not have responsibility for the records of beneficial ownership maintained by DTC or its participants.

 

Shares of all series of the Trust vote together as a single class, except that (i) if a matter affects only one series, that series votes separately, and (ii) if a matter affects a series differently from other series, that series votes separately on that matter. As a Delaware statutory trust, the Trust is neither required nor intends to hold annual shareholder meetings. The Trust will hold meetings of shareholders to elect Trustees or for other purposes as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), or as otherwise determined by the Board. The Trust will call a meeting of shareholders to consider the removal of one or more Trustees and certain other matters upon the written request of shareholders holding at least 10% of the outstanding Shares of the Trust entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

Under the Declaration of Trust, the Board has the authority to liquidate the Fund without shareholder approval. While the Board has no present intention to exercise this authority, the Board may do so if the Fund fails to achieve a viable size within a reasonable period or for such other reasons as the Board determines to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust sets forth a detailed process for shareholders to bring derivative or direct actions, designed to permit legitimate claims while limiting the costs, distraction, and other harm that can result from spurious demands and derivative actions. Before bringing a derivative action, a demand by three unrelated shareholders must be made to the Fund's Trustees. The Declaration of Trust specifies required information, certifications, undertakings, and acknowledgments that must accompany such a demand. Upon receiving a demand, the Trustees have 90 days, extendable by an additional 60 days, to consider it. If a majority of the Trustees who are independent for purposes of considering the demand determine that pursuing the requested action is not in the best interests of the Fund, they must reject the demand, and the complaining shareholders may not proceed with a derivative action unless they can demonstrate to a court that the Trustees' decision was not a good-faith exercise of business judgment on the Fund's behalf. In addition, shareholders owning Shares representing no less than a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares must join in bringing any derivative action. If a demand is rejected, the complaining shareholders may be responsible for the Fund's costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in considering the demand if a court determines that the demand was made without reasonable cause or for an improper purpose. If a derivative action is brought in violation of the Declaration of Trust, the shareholders bringing the action may be responsible for the Fund's costs, including attorneys' fees, if a court determines that the action was brought without reasonable cause or for an improper purpose. The Declaration of Trust provides that no shareholder may bring a direct action alleging injury as a shareholder of the Trust or the Fund where the matters alleged would, if true, give rise to a claim belonging to the Trust (or the Trust on behalf of the Fund), unless the shareholder has suffered a harm distinct from that of other shareholders. A shareholder bringing a direct claim must be a shareholder of the Fund at the time of the alleged injury or must have acquired the shares by operation of law from a person who was also a shareholder as of that time. The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Fund will pay attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by a complaining shareholder only if required by law, and any attorneys' fees the Fund is obligated to pay will be calculated using reasonable hourly rates. These provisions do not apply to claims brought under the federal securities laws.

 

The Declaration of Trust provides that shareholder actions against the Fund must be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Delaware. This forum provision does not apply to claims under the federal securities laws. Limiting actions to courts in Delaware may impose economic hardship on shareholders (e.g., travel costs, the need to retain local counsel) and may limit access to a forum some shareholders would otherwise prefer, which could discourage such actions.

 

The Declaration of Trust also provides that shareholders waive the right to a jury trial for claims arising out of or relating to the Declaration of Trust, the Trust, or the Shares. This jury trial waiver does not apply to claims arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Reorganization, Merger, and Consolidation. Under Article X, Section 4(b) of the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may, without prior shareholder approval, (i) sell, convey, or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust, any Series, or any Class to another entity; (ii) merge, consolidate, or combine the Trust or any Series or Class with or into another entity; (iii) reorganize the Trust or any Series under any other form of legal entity or jurisdiction; or (iv) exchange or convert Shares into interests of another investment company or entity. This means that in certain circumstances, the Board may authorize the merger or reorganization of a Fund without submitting the matter to a shareholder vote. Any merger or consolidation involving affiliated registered investment companies will be conducted in compliance with Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act, including the required Board determinations (including by a majority of the independent Trustees) that the transaction is in the best interests of each participating fund and its shareholders and that the interests of existing shareholders will not be diluted, and the related recordkeeping requirements. These provisions do not override any requirement for a shareholder vote imposed by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.

 

LIMITATION OF TRUSTEES' LIABILITY

 

The Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee is liable only for losses resulting from the Trustee's own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of the office of Trustee. A Trustee is not liable for errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law made in good faith.

The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification of Trustees and officers (and, upon due approval of the Trustees, other covered persons) for claims and expenses arising in connection with their service, except to the extent resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties.

Nothing in this section protects or indemnifies any person against liability to which they would otherwise be subject under the federal securities laws. 

 

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

 

The Adviser is responsible for executing portfolio transactions for the Fund and for allocating brokerage among eligible broker dealers, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. In carrying out portfolio transactions, the Adviser or any sub-adviser seeks the most favorable execution for the Fund, taking into account factors such as price, applicable commissions or dealer spreads, the size and difficulty of the order, market impact, the quality of execution and settlement, and the operational capabilities of the broker dealer. The lowest available commission is not necessarily the most favorable overall result. 

 

Brokerage Transactions. Generally, equity securities, whether listed or over-the-counter, are bought and sold through brokerage transactions for which commissions are payable. Purchases from underwriters will include the underwriting commission or concession, and purchases from dealers acting as market makers will include the dealer's markup or reflect a markdown. Money market and other debt securities are usually bought directly from the issuer, an underwriter, or a market maker, and the Fund generally will not pay brokerage commissions for those purchases. When the Fund effects transactions in the over-the-counter market, it will generally deal with primary market makers unless more favorable prices are otherwise obtainable. 

 

The Trust's policy for purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Fund is to seek the most favorable overall terms reasonably available. Primary consideration is given to obtaining effective execution at competitive prices; this does not require that the lowest available commission be paid in every case. A constant focus on the lowest commission could, in some circumstances, impair effective portfolio management or the quality of execution and related services.

 

In evaluating execution quality for a particular transaction, the Adviser may consider a range of factors, including but not limited to: price; commission or commission equivalents; spread; size and difficulty of the order; liquidity and market impact; timing and speed; likelihood of execution and settlement; access to block trading and willingness to commit capital; financial condition and operational capabilities of the broker; reliability and accuracy of communications and clearing; the use of alternative trading systems (including electronic crossing networks); and the value of research and brokerage services, if any, consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The relative importance of these factors will vary depending on the particular transaction.

 

The Trust has adopted policies and procedures that prohibit considering the sale of Fund shares as a factor in selecting brokers or dealers. The Adviser owes a fiduciary duty of best execution and selects the broker or dealer it believes is most capable of providing the services necessary to obtain the most favorable execution under the circumstances.

 

Subject to these policies, brokers or dealers selected to execute the Fund's portfolio transactions may include Authorized Participants or their affiliates (see "Purchase and Redemption of Shares in Creation Units"). An Authorized Participant or its affiliate may be selected in connection with an all-cash creation or redemption or with orders that include cash-in-lieu, provided such selection is consistent with best execution and the Trust's policies.

 

Brokerage Selection. The Trust does not expect to use any single broker dealer exclusively. When one or more brokers are believed capable of providing the best combination of price and execution, the Adviser (or any sub-adviser) may consider brokerage or research services provided to the Adviser in selecting among such brokers, and may pay a higher commission than might otherwise be available if it makes a good faith determination that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the services provided.

 

Brokerage and Research Services; Section 28(e). Where permitted by law, the Adviser may cause the Fund to pay a broker a commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged in recognition of brokerage and research services provided, consistent with Section 28(e). Research services may include, among other things, market data and analytics, portfolio analytics, execution management and order handling tools that are directly related to investment research, and access to company or industry information. The Adviser will not cause the Fund to pay a commission greater than is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser's overall responsibilities, in accordance with Section 28(e). The Adviser may also receive proprietary research that is bundled with execution services. The Adviser may use research services obtained for the benefit of any account it manages, and not all such services will necessarily be used in connection with the account that generated the commissions. This may create an incentive to select or recommend brokers based on the research services they provide; the Adviser monitors these arrangements and reports to the Board as part of the Trust's brokerage oversight program. The Adviser does not currently use Fund assets for, or participate in, third party soft dollar arrangements and does not receive proprietary research from full service brokers. The Adviser also does not increase commissions to pay up for any such proprietary research. If, in the future, the Adviser (or any sub-adviser) obtains brokerage or research services from broker dealers, it would do so only in arrangements consistent with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Aggregation and Allocation. When the Adviser considers purchases or sales for the Fund at or about the same time as for other accounts it manages, transactions may be aggregated to seek more favorable execution. Orders are allocated among participating accounts in a manner the Adviser believes to be fair and equitable over time. Aggregation may, in some cases, adversely affect the price or size of the position for the Fund; in other cases, it may be beneficial, for example, by enabling participation in larger transactions or by reducing commissions. From time to time, the Adviser may place a combined order for two or more accounts it manages, including the Fund, when it believes combined execution is in the best interest of each participant and will result in best price and execution. Although joint execution could adversely affect the price or volume obtained by a particular account, in the Adviser's judgment, subject to Board oversight, the advantages of combined orders generally outweigh the possible disadvantages.

 

Affiliated Brokerage; Principal Transactions . The Fund may effect brokerage transactions through registered broker-dealer affiliates of the Trust or the Adviser, to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), the Exchange Act, and SEC rules, including any applicable procedures adopted by the Board (including procedures consistent with Rule 17e-1 under the 1940 Act). Commissions paid to an affiliate will not exceed amounts that are reasonable and fair compared to commissions charged by others for comparable transactions. Principal transactions with affiliates are prohibited unless permitted by rule, regulation, or exemptive relief.

 

Directed Brokerage. The Fund does not have any practice of directing brokerage for the promotion or sale of Fund shares. The Fund is newly organized and, as of the date of this SAI, has not paid commissions on brokerage transactions directed to brokers pursuant to any arrangement for research or brokerage services. 

 

Regular Brokers or Dealers. The Fund is required to identify any securities of its regular broker dealers (as defined in Rule 10b-1 under the 1940 Act) or their parents held by the Fund as of the end of the most recent fiscal year. This information is not provided because the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this SAI. 

 

No brokerage commission information is provided since the Fund had not commenced operations prior to the date of this SAI. 

 

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RATE

 

The portfolio turnover rate is, in general terms, the percentage obtained by dividing the lesser of the Fund's purchases or sales of securities (excluding short-term instruments and securities received or delivered in-kind) by the average value of the Fund during the period. A rate of 100% indicates that the equivalent of the Fund's entire portfolio has been bought and sold during a year. Higher turnover may increase transaction costs and may affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions for tax purposes. To the extent the Fund realizes net short-term capital gains, distributions attributable to those gains will be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

 

The Fund is new and does not have a portfolio turnover rate to report as of the date of this SAI. 

 

BOOK ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM

 

The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") acts as securities depository for the Shares. Shares are represented by securities registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., and are deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC. Certificates will not be issued for Shares.

 

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company and a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing agency" registered with the SEC, and a subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. DTC holds securities of its participants ("DTC Participants") and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC Participants include broker-dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and other organizations. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, and dealers that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants").

 

Beneficial ownership of Shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants, and persons holding interests through DTC Participants or Indirect Participants (collectively, "Beneficial Owners"). Ownership of beneficial interests in Shares is shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (for DTC Participants) and by DTC Participants (for Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners). The Trust recognizes DTC or its nominee as the record owner of all Shares for all purposes. Beneficial Owners are not entitled to have Shares registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of Share certificates. Beneficial Owners must rely on the procedures of DTC and the DTC Participant or Indirect Participant through which they hold Shares to exercise rights of a holder of Shares.

 

Notices, statements, and other communications to Beneficial Owners will be transmitted through DTC and DTC Participants. Distributions of dividends and other amounts with respect to Shares will be made to DTC or its nominee, which will credit DTC Participants' accounts in proportion to their respective beneficial interests. Payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and are the responsibility of such DTC Participants and Indirect Participants, and not of the Trust, the Fund, or their service providers.

 

DTC may discontinue providing depository services with respect to Shares at any time by giving reasonable notice in accordance with its procedures and applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Trust will seek a replacement for DTC to perform its functions at a comparable cost; if a replacement is not available, the Trust may make other arrangements, which may include issuing printed certificates, as permitted by applicable law (and, if required, in a manner satisfactory to the Fund's listing exchange). The Trust, the Fund, and their service providers have no responsibility for records, notices, or payments maintained or transmitted by DTC, DTC Participants, or Indirect Participants. 

 

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES IN CREATION UNITS

 

The Trust issues and redeems shares of the Fund (the "Shares") only in aggregations of a specified number of Shares ("Creation Units") on a continuous basis, without a sales load but subject to applicable transaction fees. Creation and redemption orders are effected at the net asset value ("NAV") per Share next determined after an order is received in proper form and accepted on a Business Day by the Trust through its transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") in accordance with an Authorized Participant Agreement (a "Participant Agreement"). The Fund's NAV is calculated on each Business Day as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the primary listing exchange for the Shares (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). A "Business Day" is any day on which the Fund's primary listing exchange (the "Exchange") is open for regular trading. The Fund does not issue fractional Creation Units. Each Creation Unit consists of 5,000 Shares (or such other amount as the Trust may determine and disclose).

 

The Trust generally expects to permit or require cash creations and redemptions for the Fund in light of the nature of the Fund's fixed-income portfolio holdings, which may be less liquid or difficult to transfer in-kind. From time to time, any such Fund may require all-cash creations and/or redemptions. Cash transactions may cause the Fund to incur costs, including costs of buying or selling portfolio securities, which may be passed through to Authorized Participants via transaction fees designed to approximate the Fund's costs.

 

Fund Deposit. The consideration for a purchase of a Creation Unit (the "Fund Deposit") generally consists of (i) a designated basket of securities (the "Deposit Securities") together with (ii) a cash amount (the "Cash Component"). The Cash Component equals the difference between the NAV of a Creation Unit and the aggregate value of the Deposit Securities, and may be a positive or negative amount. The Trust may permit or require the substitution of cash in lieu of some or all Deposit Securities ("Deposit Cash"). When the Fund accepts cash (in whole or in part), the Fund may incur costs associated with acquiring portfolio positions that would otherwise have been delivered in kind; such costs may be borne by the Fund, by an Authorized Participant, or otherwise as set forth in the Participant Agreement. The Fund Deposit (Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, plus the Cash Component) represents the minimum initial and subsequent investment for a Creation Unit. Computation of the Cash Component excludes any stamp duties, transfer taxes, or other similar charges associated with the transfer of beneficial ownership of Deposit Securities, which are the responsibility of the Authorized Participant.

 

Daily Dissemination. On each Business Day, prior to the opening of regular trading on the Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time), the names and required quantities of Deposit Securities (or the required amount of Deposit Cash, as applicable) for the Fund, together with the Cash Component, are disseminated via the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") based on information as of the close of the prior Business Day. The composition of the Fund Deposit is subject to change and may differ from the Fund's portfolio holdings for a variety of reasons (for example, repo maturities, settlement timing, or operational considerations). Consistent with the Fund's operation as a government money market fund holding short-term U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements, the Trust generally requires cash creations and cash redemptions, in whole or in part, to reflect the Fund's investment strategy.

 

Custom Baskets. The Fund may accept or deliver "custom baskets" (i.e., baskets that are not a pro rata slice of the Fund's portfolio) consistent with Rule 6c-11 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Adviser has adopted written policies and procedures governing the construction, acceptance, and oversight of custom baskets, which are subject to Board of Trustees (the "Board") oversight.

 

Eligibility to Transact; Authorized Participants. Orders for Creation Units may be placed only by entities that are (i) participants in the NSCC's Continuous Net Settlement system (each, a "Participating Party") or (ii) participants in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") (each, a "DTC Participant") and, in each case, that have executed a Participant Agreement with respect to the relevant Fund (each such entity, an "Authorized Participant"). An Authorized Participant agrees, among other things, to pay the Cash Component, applicable creation transaction fees, and any taxes or other charges in connection with an order. An investor transacting through a broker that is not an Authorized Participant must route orders through an Authorized Participant, and such investor may incur additional charges. At any given time, only a limited number of broker-dealers may have executed a Participant Agreement, and only a subset may support all order types or international settlement capabilities.

 

Placing Purchase Orders; Cut-Offs. All orders to purchase Shares directly from the Fund must be for one or more whole Creation Units and must be submitted in the manner and by the deadline specified in the Participant Agreement and/or applicable order form. Unless otherwise specified, the purchase order cut-off time is expected to be 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time and may be modified by the Fund. The date on which a purchase order (or a redemption order, as described below) is received in proper form and accepted is the "Order Placement Date." On days when the Exchange closes earlier than normal, the Fund may require that orders be placed earlier. If a market on which the Fund's portfolio investments principally trade is closed, the Fund generally will not accept orders on such day.

 

Delivery of the Fund Deposit; Settlement; Additional Cash Deposit. Fund Deposits must be delivered by an Authorized Participant through DTC (for equity securities), through the Federal Reserve wire system (for cash), and/or through other arrangements acceptable to the Trust or its agents. The cash portion must be received by the custodian (the "Custodian") no later than the contractual settlement date. The typical settlement cycle for each creation transaction is one Business Day after the trade date ("T+1"), unless otherwise agreed by the Fund and the Authorized Participant or as permitted by Rule 15c6-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

 

The Fund may permit a creation order to proceed before all Deposit Securities have been received. In such cases, the Authorized Participant must deposit additional cash collateral (the "Additional Cash Deposit") by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the contractual settlement date (or such other time as specified). The Additional Cash Deposit is held in a non-interest bearing account and is subject to increase or decrease until all missing Deposit Securities are received. The Trust may purchase missing Deposit Securities at any time; the Authorized Participant will be liable to the Trust for any costs of such purchases (including any difference between the actual purchase price and the value used for Fund Deposit purposes, plus related transaction costs). Any unused portion of the Additional Cash Deposit will be returned once all missing Deposit Securities have been received or purchased and deposited into the Fund. If the Fund does not receive all required components by the specified time, the order may be canceled; upon written notice to the Transfer Agent, such canceled order may be resubmitted on the next Business Day using the then-current Fund Deposit.

 

Deemed Receipt; Proper Form. An order is deemed received on the Business Day it is placed only if it is in proper form prior to the applicable cut-off time and federal funds in the appropriate amount are deposited with the Custodian on the contractual settlement date by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as specified). If proper form or funds are not timely received, the order may be rejected and the Authorized Participant may be liable for any resulting losses.

Issuance of Creation Units. Except as otherwise provided, Creation Units will not be issued until (i) the Transfer Agent has verified receipt of the required Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable, (ii) the Custodian has received the Cash Component and any required Additional Cash Deposit, and (iii) all other conditions to creation have been satisfied. Upon confirmation, the Trust will issue and deliver the Creation Units, typically no later than the contractual settlement date. The Authorized Participant is responsible for any losses resulting from untimely delivery of required components.

Acceptance or Rejection of Purchase Orders. The Trust reserves the right to reject any creation order, including if: (1) the order is not in proper form; (2) the Fund Deposit (including the names or quantities of Deposit Securities or the amount of Deposit Cash) does not match the information disseminated through NSCC for that date; (3) the investor(s), upon obtaining the Shares ordered, would beneficially own 80% or more of the outstanding Shares of the Fund (the Trust reserves the right to require information reasonably necessary to determine beneficial ownership for purposes of this 80% test); (4) acceptance of the Fund Deposit would, in the judgment of the Trust, be unlawful; (5) acceptance or receipt of the order would, in the opinion of counsel to the Trust, be unlawful; or (6) circumstances outside the control of the Trust, the Custodian, any sub-custodian, the Transfer Agent, and/or the Adviser make it impracticable to process orders. Illustrative examples include natural disasters; extreme weather; fires or floods; widespread utility or telecommunications outages; market-wide trading halts; or systems failures affecting the Trust, the distributor, the Custodian or any sub-custodian, the Transfer Agent, DTC, NSCC, the Federal Reserve System, or other participants. The Transfer Agent will notify a prospective creator and/or its Authorized Participant of any rejection. The Trust, the Transfer Agent, the Custodian, any sub-custodian, and the distributor have no duty to notify of defects or irregularities in any Fund Deposit and shall not be liable for failure to give such notice. The Trust will exercise any right to reject orders in a manner consistent with Rule 6c-11 and related SEC guidance, including with respect to limited suspensions and extraordinary circumstances, and in a manner designed not to impair the arbitrage mechanism.

All questions as to the composition of the Fund Deposit, the number of shares of each Deposit Security, and the validity, form, eligibility, and acceptance of any securities or cash tendered will be determined by the Trust, and the Trust's determinations will be final and binding.

Creation Transaction Fees. A fixed creation transaction fee may be imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with processing creation orders. The fixed fee is payable to the Custodian (or another service provider, as applicable) and applies to each creation order regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased in that order. The fixed fee may be changed from time to time and may be waived for certain orders if the Fund determines to waive all or part of the costs, or if another party (such as the Adviser) agrees to pay such fee.

In addition, for cash creations, partial cash creations, or non-standard orders, a variable fee payable to the Fund of up to the maximum shown below, which may be charged in addition to the fixed transaction fee, may be charged to cover the Fund's trading costs, taxes, and other expenses related to purchasing portfolio investments with cash. The Adviser may determine not to impose a variable fee when it believes doing so is in the best interests of shareholders. 


Investors who use the services of a broker or other intermediary may be charged a fee for such services. Investors are responsible for any costs of transferring securities to or from their accounts as part of the creation process.

 

Risks of Purchasing Creation Units. Purchases of Creation Units directly from the Fund involve certain legal risks. Because Shares may be continuously offered, a "distribution" could be occurring at any time. Depending on the facts and circumstances, activities of a shareholder may cause the shareholder to be deemed a statutory underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and subject to prospectus delivery and liability provisions. For example, a shareholder may be deemed a statutory underwriter if it purchases Creation Units, breaks them into Shares, and sells those Shares directly to customers, or combines the creation of new Shares with an active selling effort. Whether a person is an underwriter depends on all facts and circumstances. Dealers participating in a distribution and dealing with Shares as part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act may be unable to rely on the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

Redemption.

 

Shares may be redeemed only in Creation Units at the NAV next determined after a redemption request in proper form is received and accepted by the Fund through the Transfer Agent on a Business Day. Except upon liquidation of the Fund, the Trust does not redeem Shares in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Investors who are not Authorized Participants must accumulate sufficient Shares in the secondary market to constitute a Creation Unit to redeem. There can be no assurance that secondary-market liquidity will always permit assembly of a Creation Unit; investors should expect to incur brokerage and other costs in connection with aggregating Shares.

 

Prior to the opening of regular trading on the Exchange on each Business Day, the Custodian, through NSCC, makes available the list of names and quantities of portfolio securities (the "Fund Securities") and the cash amount, if any, that will be applicable to redemption requests received that day in proper form. Fund Securities received upon redemption may differ from the Deposit Securities applicable to creations.

 

Redemption proceeds are paid in kind, in cash, or a combination thereof, as determined by the Trust in its discretion. For in-kind redemptions, redemption proceeds for a Creation Unit generally consist of the Fund Securities announced for that day, plus or minus a cash amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the Shares being redeemed and the value of the Fund Securities (the "Cash Redemption Amount"), less applicable fees. When the value of the Fund Securities exceeds the NAV of the Shares being redeemed, the redeeming shareholder will be required to pay the difference in cash through its Authorized Participant. The Trust may, in its discretion, substitute cash for any Fund Security.

 

The typical settlement cycle for each redemption transaction is T+1, unless otherwise agreed by the Fund and the Authorized Participant or as permitted by Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act. In certain cases (for example, due to local market holidays or other market conditions), settlement of redemption proceeds may occur later.

 

Redemption Transaction Fees. A fixed redemption transaction fee may be imposed to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with processing redemption orders. The fixed fee is payable to the Custodian (or another service provider, as applicable) and applies to each redemption order, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed. The fixed fee may be changed from time to time and may be waived for certain orders if the Fund determines to waive all or part of the costs, or if another party (such as the Adviser) agrees to pay such fee.

In addition, for cash redemptions, partial cash redemptions, or non-standard orders, a variable fee payable to the Fund of up to the maximum shown below, which may be charged in addition to the fixed transaction fee, may be charged to cover the Fund's trading costs, taxes, and other expenses related to selling portfolio investments to raise cash. The Adviser may determine not to impose a variable fee when it believes doing so is in the best interests of shareholders. 


Investors who use the services of a broker or other intermediary may be charged a fee for such services. Investors are responsible for any costs of transferring Fund Securities from the Trust to their account or as otherwise directed.

Procedures for Redemption of Creation Units; Cut-Offs. Redemption orders must be submitted in proper form to the Transfer Agent by an Authorized Participant prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as specified in the Participant Agreement and/or applicable order form). A redemption request is in proper form if: (i) the Authorized Participant has transferred, or caused to be transferred, the Creation Unit(s) being redeemed through DTC to the account of the Transfer Agent by the time specified; and (ii) the Transfer Agent has received an acceptable redemption request from the Authorized Participant within the time periods specified. If Shares are not received through DTC's facilities by the required time, or the request otherwise is not in proper form, the redemption request will be rejected.

Additional Redemption Procedures. A redeeming shareholder or an Authorized Participant acting on its behalf must maintain appropriate custody arrangements to receive Fund Securities. The Trust may, in its discretion, require or permit cash redemptions. In either case, the redeeming investor will receive a cash amount equal to the NAV of the Shares next determined after receipt of a redemption request in proper form, less applicable fees and charges (including any variable fee for cash redemptions). Upon request, the Trust may deliver a basket of securities that differs from the announced Fund Securities but does not differ in NAV.

Redemptions in kind are subject to applicable federal and state securities laws. The Trust reserves the right to redeem Creation Units for cash to the extent it could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities or could not do so without first registering such securities. An Authorized Participant or an investor for which it is acting that is subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular Fund Security may receive an equivalent amount of cash. An Authorized Participant that is not a "qualified institutional buyer" ("QIB") as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act will be unable to receive Fund Securities that are restricted securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A; the Trust may require written confirmation of QIB status as a condition to delivery of such securities.

Suspension of Redemptions. The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed: (1) for any period when the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) for any period when trading on the Exchange is suspended or restricted; (3) for any period when an emergency exists that makes it not reasonably practicable to dispose of Shares or determine NAV; or (4) in such other circumstances as are permitted by the SEC. The Trust will administer any suspension in a manner consistent with Rule 6c-11 and related SEC guidance and in a manner designed not to impair the arbitrage mechanism.

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

 

NAV per Share for the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets (the value of total assets minus total liabilities) by the total number of Shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. Expenses and fees (including any management fees) accrue daily and are reflected in the determination of NAV.

 

The NAV of the Fund is calculated by the Administrator as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the Fund's primary listing exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the exchange is open for regular trading. If market closures or early closes affect particular asset classes (for example, an early close for certain fixed-income markets announced by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, "SIFMA"), valuations for those holdings may reflect the earlier close on such day.

 

In valuing portfolio investments, the Fund generally uses market-based valuations. Prices may be obtained from one or more pricing services, directly from an exchange or trading venue, from quotations of major market makers or dealers, or, where appropriate, using amortized cost for short-term instruments. For investments that trade on an exchange, a market valuation generally refers to the last reported sale price or official closing price. Investments and other assets (and liabilities) denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted to U.S. dollars at current market rates as quoted by one or more sources on the valuation date.

 

When market quotations are not "readily available" or are deemed unreliable, the Fund will determine a fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board has adopted valuation policies and procedures and has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") pursuant to Rule 2a-5 to perform fair value determinations, subject to Board oversight. Fair value methodologies may consider, among other things, evaluated prices from pricing services, model inputs, observable market data, corporate actions, trading halts, significant events occurring after market close, and, for derivatives, counterparty quotations and collateral. The use of fair value prices may result in values that differ from quoted or published prices and may cause the Fund's NAV to differ from the value of an index at a point in time.

 

Fixed-income securities, including U.S. Government securities, are generally valued using prices provided by independent pricing services, which may use broker-dealer quotations, matrix pricing, or other valuation methodologies that consider factors such as yield, credit quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. When market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable, such instruments are valued at fair value in good faith under the Fund's Rule 2a-5 procedures.

 

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

The following supplements, and should be read with, the Prospectus section titled "Dividends, Distributions, and Taxes."

General policies. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, on a weekly basis, and to distribute any net realized capital gains to shareholders at least annually. The Fund may make additional distributions as necessary to meet distribution requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), in a manner consistent with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and to minimize federal excise taxes.

 

Distributions of income and capital gains, if any, are declared and paid in cash. Dividends and other distributions on Shares are made on a pro rata basis to beneficial owners of record through Depository Trust Company ("DTC") participants and indirect participants, with proceeds transmitted by the Trust to DTC for allocation to DTC participants and then to beneficial owners.

 

The Trust may declare special dividends or other distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to maintain the Fund's status as a regulated investment company ("RIC") or to avoid Fund-level income or excise taxes on undistributed amounts. The Fund intends to make distributions in amounts and at times intended to avoid the 4% federal excise tax described under "Federal Income Taxes" below.

 

The Fund's investments in certain fixed-income securities, including securities purchased at a discount (such as zero-coupon bonds) or securities that pay interest in kind, may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income in advance of receiving corresponding cash payments. As a result, the Fund may be required to sell investments at times it would not otherwise do so in order to meet distribution requirements.

 

Dividend reinvestment service. The Trust does not offer a DTC book-entry dividend reinvestment service. However, certain broker-dealers may offer a dividend reinvestment service for beneficial owners through DTC participants. Investors should contact their brokers to determine availability, applicable procedures, and any deadlines. If such a service is used, distributions will be reinvested in additional whole Shares at the then-current NAV, and such reinvested amounts will be taxable to the same extent as if received in cash. 

 

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders. It supplements the Prospectus and is not a complete discussion of all tax matters that may be relevant. This summary is based on current provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative rulings and guidance, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). Investors should consult their own tax advisers about federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences to them in light of their particular circumstances.

 

Taxation of the Fund. The Fund intends to elect and qualify each year for treatment as a RIC under the Code. If the Fund qualifies as a RIC and distributes its income and gains in a timely manner to shareholders, the Fund generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income and gains it distributes. To qualify as a RIC, among other requirements, the Fund must (1) distribute in each taxable year at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" and 90% of its net tax-exempt income, if any (the "Distribution Requirement"); (2) derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from certain qualifying sources such as dividends, interest, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock, securities, or foreign currencies, or income derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities, or currencies (the "Qualifying Income Requirement"); and (3) satisfy certain asset diversification tests at the end of each quarter (the "Diversification Requirement").

 

The Fund intends to monitor its investments so that its non-qualifying income does not exceed 10% of gross income. If the Fund was to fail the Qualifying Income Requirement or the Diversification Requirement, relief provisions may be available in limited circumstances if the failure is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and the Fund pays a penalty tax and/or takes corrective action. If relief were not available and the Fund failed to qualify for RIC treatment for a taxable year, the Fund would be subject to tax at the Fund level on all of its taxable income at corporate rates, and distributions from earnings and profits (including distributions of net capital gain) would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. The Fund could be required to recognize and distribute earnings and profits as a condition to requalifying as a RIC in a subsequent year.

 

The Fund may elect to treat part or all of certain "late-year losses" as incurred in the following taxable year for purposes of determining its taxable income and distributions. Net capital losses (capital losses in excess of capital gains) generally may be carried forward indefinitely by a RIC to offset future capital gains, subject to limitations. The carryover of losses may be limited following certain ownership changes. The Fund may be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on certain undistributed amounts if it does not distribute during each calendar year at least (i) 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending on October 31 (or, if the Fund makes an election, for its fiscal year), plus any shortfalls from the prior year. The Fund intends to make distributions in amounts and at times intended to minimize excise tax, but there can be no assurance that all such liability will be eliminated. If the Fund retains net capital gain, it may designate the retained amount as "undistributed capital gains" in a notice to shareholders. In that case, shareholders would (i) be required to include their share of such undistributed amount in income as long-term capital gain, (ii) be entitled to a credit for their share of the tax paid by the Fund on such undistributed amount, and (iii) increase their tax basis in Shares by the excess of the amount included in income over the tax deemed paid.

 

Taxation of shareholders - distributions. Distributions of the Fund's "investment company taxable income" (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction) are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, whether paid in cash or reinvested. Distributions of the Fund's net capital gain (net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses) are taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long a shareholder has held Shares. A portion of ordinary income dividends paid to non-corporate shareholders may be eligible to be taxed at the reduced rates applicable to "qualified dividend income" if certain holding period and other requirements are met by both the Fund and the shareholder. To the extent properly reported, certain dividends received by corporate shareholders may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, subject to holding period and other limitations.

 

Distributions are generally taxable when paid; however, any dividend declared in October, November, or December with a record date in such month and paid in January is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as received on December 31 of the year declared. Distributions may also be subject to state and local taxes.

 

If the Fund's distributions exceed its current and accumulated earnings and profits, all or a portion of such excess will be treated as a return of capital to shareholders, reducing each shareholder's tax basis in Shares (and, after such basis is reduced to zero, resulting in capital gain).

 

Taxation of shareholders - sale or exchange of Shares. A sale or other taxable disposition of Shares generally will result in a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the Shares. The gain or loss will be long-term if the Shares were held for more than one year, and short-term otherwise. Any loss realized on a disposition of Shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as long-term capital gain that were distributed (or deemed distributed) with respect to such Shares. Losses may be disallowed under the "wash sale" rules if substantially identical Shares are acquired within 30 days before or after the disposition. Shareholders should consult their brokers regarding available cost-basis reporting methods and elections.

 

Creations and redemptions by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant that exchanges securities for Creation Units generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time and the sum of the Authorized Participant's aggregate basis in the securities surrendered plus the cash paid, if any. An Authorized Participant that redeems Creation Units generally will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the Authorized Participant's basis in the Creation Units and the sum of the aggregate market value of any securities received plus the cash received, if any. The Internal Revenue Service may take the position that a loss realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units may be disallowed under the wash sale rules (for an exchanger that does not mark-to-market) or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. If, after a creation, a purchaser (or group) would own 80% or more of the Fund's outstanding Shares and Section 351 of the Code otherwise would apply, the Fund may reject the order and may require beneficial ownership information reasonably necessary to evaluate the application of Section 351. If the Fund nonetheless issues Creation Units in such circumstances, the Authorized Participant may not recognize gain or loss on the exchange. Authorized Participants should consult their own tax advisers.

 

Taxation of Fund investments. Certain investments may be subject to complex provisions of the Code that, among other things, could affect the character of gains and losses realized by the Fund, accelerate the recognition of income to the Fund, defer losses, or affect whether income is qualifying income for RIC purposes. These rules may also require the Fund to recognize income or gains without a corresponding receipt of cash, potentially requiring the Fund to sell securities to meet the Distribution Requirement. The Fund intends to monitor transactions, make appropriate elections, and maintain books and records as required to mitigate adverse tax consequences and preserve RIC status.

 

Backup withholding and reporting. The Fund may be required to withhold federal income tax ("backup withholding") from dividends, capital gain distributions, and redemption proceeds payable to shareholders who fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number, who are subject to backup withholding due to under-reporting, who fail to certify that they are not subject to backup withholding, or who fail to certify their U.S. status. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and amounts withheld may be credited against a shareholder's federal income tax liability.

 

Net investment income tax. Certain individuals, trusts, and estates are subject to a 3.8% tax on their "net investment income," (the "NII tax") which generally includes distributions from the Fund and net gains from the sale or other disposition of Shares.

 

Non-U.S. shareholders. Distributions to non-U.S. shareholders generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) to the extent derived from ordinary income. Subject to certain requirements, the Fund may report a portion of its distributions as "interest-related dividends" or "short-term capital gain dividends," which generally are exempt from such withholding for non-U.S. shareholders; special rules and exceptions apply, including for individuals present in the United States for 183 days or more during the year. Gains realized by non-U.S. shareholders on the sale of Shares generally are not subject to U.S. federal income tax, subject to certain exceptions. Non-U.S. shareholders may be subject to backup withholding if they fail to provide required certifications.

 

FATCA. Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), the Fund may be required to withhold 30% on ordinary income distributions paid to certain foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities that fail to satisfy documentation, reporting, or other requirements. FATCA may also affect the Fund's returns on certain investments. Investors should consult their tax advisers regarding FATCA.

 

Tax-exempt shareholders. Tax-exempt investors (including retirement plans and IRAs) are generally exempt from federal income tax on Fund distributions and gains, except to the extent that such amounts constitute unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). In certain circumstances, investments by the Fund (for example, in residual interests of real estate mortgage investment conduits or certain real estate investment trusts) could generate UBTI to tax-exempt shareholders. Tax-exempt investors should consult their tax advisers.

 

Certain reporting. Shareholders may be required to file IRS Form 8886 if they recognize a loss on a disposition of Shares that exceeds applicable thresholds. Significant penalties may apply for failure to comply with reporting requirements. The fact that a loss is reportable does not affect whether the treatment of the loss is proper. The tax information provided here is only a summary of certain considerations. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisers regarding the U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of an investment in the Fund.

Item 30. Indemnification

Reference is made to Article IX of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust. In general, that provision authorizes indemnification of Trustees, officers, employees, and agents of the Trust for liabilities and expenses arising in connection with their service to the Trust, subject to the limitations set forth therein and under applicable law.

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: "Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to Trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is made (other than reimbursement by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a Trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless its counsel determines that the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and the Registrant will be bound by the court's final adjudication of the issue."
