Equity
Securities Risk: The Fund invests in publicly-traded equity securities, and their value may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably,
which means a security may be worth more or less than when it was purchased. These fluctuations can be based on a variety of factors including
a company’s financial condition as well as macro-economic factors such as interest rates, inflation rates, global market conditions,
and non-economic factors such as market perceptions and social or political events. |

Derivatives
Risk: Derivatives may be difficult to price or unwind and may be leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses
for the Fund. A short position in a derivative instrument involves the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the
underlying asset, reference rate or index, which could cause the Fund to suffer a potentially unlimited loss. Derivatives, especially
over-the-counter derivatives, are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the counterparty (the party on the other side
of the transaction) on a derivative transaction will be unable or unwilling to honor its contractual obligations to the Fund. |

Options
Writing Risk: Writing (selling) call options limits the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market value of securities
in exchange for up-front cash (the premium) at the time of selling the call option. In a sharp rising market, the Fund could significantly
underperform the market. Furthermore, premium received from the Fund’s call option writing strategies may not fully protect it against
market declines because the Fund will continue to bear the risk of a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. In a sharply-falling
equity market, the Fund will likely also experience sharp declines in its net asset value (“NAV”). |

Options
Valuation Risk: Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on their expiration date. The value of the
options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other recognized pricing methods. The value of an option prior to its
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of an underlying ETF or index. Factors that may influence the
value of an option, other than changes in the value of an underlying ETF or index, may include, among others, interest rate changes, changing
supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the options and changing volatility levels of an underlying ETF or index. During periods of
reduced market liquidity or in the absence of readily available market quotations for the holdings of the Fund, the options may become
more difficult to value and the judgment of the Adviser, as the Fund’s valuation designee, may play a greater role in the valuation
of the Fund’s holdings due to reduced availability of reliable objective pricing data. |

FLEX
Options Correlation Risk: Although the value of the FLEX Options structure held by the Fund generally correlates with the share
price of an underlying ETF or value of an underlying index, the FLEX Options are exercisable at the strike price |
| |
only on their expiration date, and their
daily valuation will not change at the same percentage as the share price of an underlying ETF or value of an underlying index. Accordingly,
the Fund’s net asset value, or NAV, or market price will not directly correlate on a day-to-day basis with the share price of the
underlying ETF or value of an underlying index. |

FLEX
Options Liquidity Risk: The FLEX Options are listed on an exchange; however, there is no guarantee that a liquid secondary trading
market will exist for the FLEX Options. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent, the value of the Fund’s
FLEX Options may decrease. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, liquidating the FLEX Options may require the payment of a premium
(for written FLEX Options) or acceptance of a discounted price (for purchased FLEX Options) and may take longer to complete. A less liquid
trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and Fund shares and result in the Fund being unable to achieve its investment
objective. The trading market for FLEX Options may lack depth and liquidity when compared to the trading market for certain other securities.
FLEX Options may be less liquid than certain non-customized options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the liquidation of
a large number of options may significantly impact the price. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX
Options and the value of your investment. |

Tax
Risk: The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under
Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC under the
applicable tax laws, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation. The federal income tax treatment of some aspects of the Fund’s
investment operations are not guaranteed. There are some uncertainties in how the Code would apply to the Fund’s options strategy
and hedging strategies, and the application of “straddle” rules, and loss limitation provisions of the Code. The Fund intends
to treat any income it may derive from the options as “qualifying income” under the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs.
The Fund must derive at least 90% of its income each taxable year from “qualifying income” in order to be treated as a RIC.
The Fund also intends to treat the issuer of options as a referenced asset for federal income tax purposes. The options included in the
portfolio are exchange-traded options. Under Section 1256 of the Code, certain types of exchange-traded options are treated as if
they were sold (i.e., “marked to market”) at the end of each year. The Fund does
not believe that the positions held by the Fund will be subject to Section 1256, which means that the positions will not be marked
to market. If the income is not treated as qualifying income, or if the issuer of the options is not appropriately treated as the referenced
asset, or if the Fund cannot distribute the correct percentage of all income annually, the Fund could lose its status as a RIC, which
could cause the Fund’s income and net capital gains to be taxed at both the Fund and shareholder levels. If a shareholder purchases
Fund shares after the hedge period has begun, or shortly before an income or net capital gain distribution by the Fund, then the entire
distribution will be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase
price. |

Strategy
and Return of Capital Tax Risk: While the Fund seeks to provide monthly distributions, there is no guarantee that distributions
will always be paid or will be paid at a relatively stable rate. To the extent these distributions exceed the Fund’s income and
gains, these distributions will be treated as a return of capital for federal income tax purposes. A return of capital distribution generally
will not be taxable to an individual shareholder but will reduce the shareholder’s cost basis in their shares and could result in
a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those shares are sold. Once a Fund shareholder’s cost basis is reduced to zero,
any further distributions will be treated as capital gain. However, no assurance can be given regarding the future tax character
of the Fund’s distributions. Additionally, any capital returned through distributions will be distributed after payment of Fund
fees and expenses. Because a portion of the Fund’s distributions may consist of return of capital, the Fund may not be an appropriate
investment for investors who do not want their principal investment in the Fund to decrease over time or who do not wish to receive return
of capital in a given period. In the event that a shareholder purchases Fund shares shortly before a distribution by the Fund, the income
and capital gain distributions will be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return
of the purchase price. |

Active
Trading Risk: The Fund expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities and other portfolio activity.
A higher rate of portfolio turnover or portfolio activity increases transaction costs, which may negatively affect the Fund’s return.
In addition, a high rate of portfolio turnover or portfolio activity may result in substantial short-term gains, which may have adverse
tax consequences for Fund shareholders. The Fund’s higher portfolio turnover or portfolio activity could also result in other consequences
such as deferral of losses, acceleration of gains or treatment of short-term capital gains as ordinary income, any of which could adversely
impact Fund shareholders. |

Investment
in Other Investment Companies Risk: As with other investments, investments in other investment companies are subject to market
and management risk. In addition, shareholders of the Fund bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management
fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies in which the Fund invests to the extent these expenses are not waived
or reimbursed by the Adviser. |

| ETF Share Price and Net Asset Value Risk [Member] |

|
ETF
Share Price and Net Asset Value Risk: The Fund’s shares are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”
or the “Exchange”). Shares are generally bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The NAV per share of the
Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s holdings. The Fund’s NAV is calculated once per |
| |
day, at the end of the day. The market
price of a share on the Exchange could be higher than the NAV (premium), or lower than the NAV (discount) and may fluctuate during the
trading day. When all or a portion of the Fund’s underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market for the
Fund’s shares is open, there may be differences between the current value of a security and the last quoted price for that security
in the closed local market, which could lead to a deviation between the market value of the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s NAV.
Disruptions in the creations and redemptions process or the existence of extreme market volatility could result in the Fund’s shares
trading above or below NAV. As the Fund may invest in securities traded on foreign exchanges, Fund shares may trade at a larger premium
or discount to the Fund’s NAV per share than shares of other ETFs. In addition, in stressed market conditions, the market for Fund
shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings.

Authorized
Participant Risk: Only a limited number of financial institutions that enter into an authorized participant relationship with the
Fund (“Authorized Participants”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions. If the Fund’s Authorized Participants
decide not to create or redeem shares, Fund shares may trade at a larger premium or discount to the Fund’s NAV per share, or the
Fund could face trading halts or de-listing. |

Active
Trading Market Risk: There is no guarantee that an active trading market for Fund shares will exist at all times. In times of market
stress, markets can suffer erratic or unpredictable trading activity, extraordinary volatility or wide bid/ask spreads, which could cause
some market makers and Authorized Participants to reduce their market activity or “step away” from making a market in ETF
shares. Market makers and Authorized Participants are not obligated to place or execute purchase and redemption orders. This could cause
the Fund’s market price to deviate, materially, from the NAV, and reduce the effectiveness of the ETF arbitrage process. Any absence
of an active trading market for Fund shares could lead to a heightened risk that there will be a difference between the market price of
a Fund share and the underlying value of the Fund share. |

•Management
Risk: The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively-managed ETF. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques
and risk analyses in making investment decisions, but there is no guarantee that its techniques will produce the intended results. Some
of these techniques may incorporate, or rely upon, quantitative models, but there is no guarantee that these models will generate accurate
forecasts, reduce risk or otherwise perform as expected.

Market
Risk: The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the market or markets in which the Fund invests fluctuate. The value
of the Fund’s investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other local, regional
or global events, including public health crises (including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness), terrorism, war, changing
interest rate levels, the imposition of new or additional tariffs, or global conflicts, any of which can affect large portions of the
securities markets. It includes the risk that a particular style of investing may be underperforming the securities markets generally.
