There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the
Fund will be achieved. Stocks fluctuate in price and the value of your investment in the Fund may go down. This means that you could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund may not perform as
well as other investment options. Principal risks impacting the Fund (in
alphabetical order after the first 7 risks) include:
Anthropic Ecosystem
Risk: The Fund’s performance is closely tied to the success, adoption,
and commercial growth of Anthropic and technologies associated with the Anthropic ecosystem. As a result, the Fund may be adversely affected by developments impacting
Anthropic, including increased competition, technological disruption, regulatory actions, reputational harm, litigation, changes in strategic relationships, reduced enterprise adoption, or a decline in
market interest in Anthropic-related products and services. The Fund may also be adversely affected if competing artificial intelligence platforms, models, or ecosystems achieve greater commercial
success, technological advancement, market adoption, developer engagement, or investor interest than Anthropic. Because the Fund maintains focused exposure to companies economically connected to
the Anthropic ecosystem, the Fund may underperform broader equity markets or other technology-focused investments during periods in which Anthropic-related companies are out of favor or
experience negative market sentiment. Public statements—including public remarks and social media activity—by Anthropic leadership may introduce uncertainty and/or cause fluctuations in sentiment
around Anthropic. Changes in Anthropic’s leadership may also affect investor sentiment.
Artificial Intelligence Risk: Companies involved in artificial intelligence and related technologies are subject to
intense competition, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, short product cycles, and significant research and development
expenditures. The Fund’s investments may include companies whose products or services may become obsolete or less competitive as new technologies emerge. Many of these companies depend
on intellectual property rights, access to computing capacity and specialized hardware, complex supply chains, and continued capital investment to maintain their competitive
positions. Failures, delays, security vulnerabilities, operational disruptions, or reduced demand for AI-related products and services could adversely affect such companies.The issuers are also subject to legal, regulatory and political changes that may have a
large impact on their profitability. AI technology could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that
develop and/or utilize this technology. Similarly, the collection of data from consumers and other sources could face increased scrutiny as regulators consider how the data is collected,
stored, safeguarded and used. Companies may face regulatory fines and penalties, including potential forced break-ups, that could hinder the ability of the companies to operate on an ongoing
basis. Country, government, and/or region-specific regulations or restrictions could have an impact on AI and big data companies.
Market Risk: Securities markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse
market, economic, political, regulatory or other developments, which may lower the value of securities held by the Fund, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Events such
as war, military conflict, geopolitical disputes, acts of terrorism, social or political unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, tariffs
and other restrictions on trade, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats, or the threat or potential of one or more such events and developments, could also significantly impact the
Fund and its investments.
Equity Risk: The values of equity securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular
company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment
generally. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production
costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Non-Diversification Risk: Because the Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single
issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers, it is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio.
Data Risk: The Fund’s investment
process relies on data and information obtained from a variety of sources, which may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, inconsistent, or unavailable. Errors in
data collection, processing, or interpretation may affect the Advisor’s assessment of a company’s relationship to the Anthropic ecosystem. The Advisor’s assessment of a company’s relationship
to the Anthropic ecosystem could be incorrect, which could
negatively impact the Fund’s ability to provide the intended exposure to Anthropic Ecosystem Companies. In addition, the Fund’s investment
process relies in part on proprietary analytical models and methodologies to analyze such data and information that may not operate as intended under all market conditions.
Risks Associated with Exchange-Traded Funds: As an ETF, the Fund is subject to the following risks:
Authorized Participant Concentration/Trading Risk: Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or
redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a
limited number of institutions that may act as APs and such APs
have no obligation to submit creation or redemption orders.
Consequently, there is no assurance that APs will establish or
maintain an active trading market for the shares. This risk may
be heightened to the extent that securities held by the Fund are
traded outside a collateralized settlement system. In that case,
APs may be required to post collateral on certain trades on an
agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants), which only a limited number of APs may be able to do. In addition, to the extent
that APs exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other AP is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units
(as defined below), this may result in a significantly diminished trading market for shares, and shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to the Fund’s net asset value and to face
trading halts and/or delisting. This risk may be heightened during periods of volatility or market disruptions.
Cash Transactions Risk: The Fund may effect some or all of its creations and redemptions for cash rather than
in-kind. As a result, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an
