A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the total annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available. Principal Investment Strategy The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through multiple combinations of synthetic long and short exchange-listed options positions, each known as a box spread (“Box Spread”) and collectively referred to as box spreads (“Box Spreads”). Box Spread Strategy. A Box Spread strategy combines a “synthetic long” position with an offsetting “synthetic short” position, through a grouping of option contracts on an equity security, index or ETF. Option contracts are agreements between a buyer and seller that give the purchaser of the option the right to buy or sell a particular asset at a specified future date at an agreed upon price, commonly known as the “strike price.” In the case of a “call option,” the purchaser has the right to buy the particular asset and the seller of a “call option” has the obligation to deliver the particular asset at the strike price. In the case of a “put option,” the purchaser has the right to sell the particular asset and the seller of a “put option” has the obligation to purchase the particular asset at the strike price. As further described below, the Fund will target Box Spread positions that are expected to have maturities ranging from one to six months at the time they are established (i.e., “short durations”). However, Box Spreads owned by the Fund may have tenors (i.e., remaining time until expiration) anywhere from zero to six months, as the Fund may not necessarily roll positions with one month left in the tenor. The Box Spreads held by the funds are expected to have on average a 3-month effective maturity. The Fund’s synthetic long position is created through the purchase of a call option and sale of a put option, purchased or sold on the same reference asset, strike price and expiration date. The Fund’s synthetic short position is created through the purchase of a put option and sale of a call option, purchased or sold on the same reference asset and expiration date as the synthetic long position, but at a higher strike price from the synthetic long position. The synthetic long and short options positions, in combination, are designed to offset one another, creating a market-neutral position with a fixed payoff at expiration of the options contracts. The Fund’s strategy of replicating the ownership of long and short positions at two different prices effectively creates a “box” that locks in a fixed payout, regardless of the reference asset’s movement. This fixed payout is conditioned on the positions being held to expiration and is subject to interest rate and liquidity risks prior to expiration. The box spread’s present value fluctuates with interest rates prior to its expiration Please refer to the section entitled “Additional Information About the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategy” for an illustration of the value of a Box Spread at expiration. The Fund’s expected profit from a Box Spread transaction equals approximately the difference between the price paid for the Box Spread and its expiration value minus any transaction costs associated with the options trades. The effective yield on each Box Spread is determined by annualizing the profit over the price paid. Box Spread Portfolio. The options contracts that the Fund utilizes in implementing its investment strategy will be traditional exchange-traded options contracts and/or FLexible EXchange options (“FLEX Options”). The Fund will only invest in options contracts that are listed for trading on regulated U.S. exchanges. Traditional exchange-traded options have standardized terms, such as the type (call or put), the reference asset, the strike price and expiration date. Exchange-listed options contracts are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). FLEX Options are a type of exchange-listed options contract with uniquely customizable terms that allow investors to customize key terms like type, strike price and expiration date that are standardized in a typical options contract. FLEX Options are also guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The Fund will utilize “European Style” option contracts, which are only exercisable on the expiration date of the contract, as opposed to “American Style” options that can be exercised at any time prior to expiration. In holding synthetic positions created by the Box Spreads that remain intact until maturity, the Fund seeks to prevent any part of the strategy from being closed out early due to early exercise of the option, increasing the likelihood that the Fund will capture the intended payoff—the difference between the strike prices—without the risk of unexpected changes or disruptions before the expiration date. The Fund intends to use options on diversified exchange traded funds, such as SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1, as the reference assets for its Box Spread positions. However, the Fund has the ability to use options that reference other types of securities if the Adviser determines such an investment is to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund may hold a small portion of its assets as collateral, such as cash, cash equivalents or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, that may be used to pay costs related to implementing the Fund’s investment strategy. Box Spread Portfolio Layering. The Fund expects to regularly buy, hold, and sell several Box Spreads. The Fund’s Box Spread positions are expected to have maturities ranging from one to six months at the time they are established (i.e., “short durations”). However, Box Spreads owned by the Fund may have tenors (i.e., remaining time until expiration) anywhere from zero to six months, as the Fund may not necessarily roll positions with one month left in the tenor. To gain exposure to the forward rate implied by Box Spreads with varying maturities, the Fund may buy and sell Box Spreads with either longer or shorter periods to expiration. Box Spreads provide exposure to implied forward rates because the interest rate is locked in on the day the transaction takes place even if it matures in the future. The returns on the Fund’s investments in Box Spreads will depend on a number of factors, including changes in market prices and expected interest rates and the Fund’s trading activity, among other things. As a result, returns may vary. Further, given that the Fund may hold multiple Box Spreads at a time, there is no fixed return for a given period, and the value of the Fund can increase or decrease based on the different factors discussed above. The Fund will typically purchase a new Box Spread at the time (or shortly thereafter) any existing Box Spread expires or is sold or when the Adviser believes purchasing a new Box Spread would offer a favorable investment opportunity. The Fund may also sell or “roll” any Box Spread at any time. When rolling a Box Spread, the Fund enters into a trade where it simultaneously closes on each component of an existing Box Spread while opening a new Box Spread position. The Fund may also sell Box Spreads that utilize the same or different reference assets, strike prices, and expiration dates as Box Spreads owned by the Fund. When selling or rolling a Box Spread, the Fund may incur higher transaction costs than if it waited until such Box Spread expired. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. The Adviser seeks to manage the Fund’s portfolio such that the Fund does not pay dividends or otherwise distribute any income to shareholders each year. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Fund’s investment objective has not been adopted as a fundamental investment policy and therefore the Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board of Trustees without the consent of shareholders. Principal Risks As with all investments, there are certain risks of investing in the Fund. Fund Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value. Securities are subject to market fluctuations caused by real or perceived adverse economic, political, and regulatory factors or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Fund Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, regulatory actions, political changes, diplomatic developments, the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of Fund Shares, the liquidity of an investment, and may result in increased market volatility. During any such events, Fund Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to their net asset value, the bid/ask spread on Fund Shares may widen and the returns on investment may fluctuate. Option Risk: The use of options involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions and depends on the ability of the Fund’s portfolio managers to forecast market movements correctly. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, or in interest or currency exchange rates, including the anticipated volatility, which in turn are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political and economic events. The effective use of options also depends on the Fund’s ability to terminate option positions at times deemed desirable to do so. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to effect closing transactions at any particular time or at an acceptable price. In addition, there may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options and their underlying securities and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain options. Lastly, the trading of options is subject to transaction costs that may impact the Fund’s returns. Box Spread Risk: If any of the individual option positions that make up a Box Spread are modified or closed separately before the option contracts expire, the Box Spread may lose its effectiveness in eliminating risk related to movements in the price of the underlying reference asset. Additionally, the value of a Box Spread is determined by the market and is influenced by factors such as the time remaining until the options expire and prevailing market interest rates. The Fund’s ability to use Box Spreads successfully depends on the availability of other market participants who are willing to sell Box Spreads to the Fund at competitive prices. In this regard, the commissions charged to implement the four options trades necessary to establish a Box Spread may have a material impact on the Fund’s return. If a Box Spread does not perform as intended, the Fund could become exposed to the reference asset of the options in the Box Spread. In such circumstances, the Fund would be subject to the risks of equity securities markets, where prices can fluctuate due to changes in investors’ perceptions of an issuer’s financial condition, overall market volatility, or political and economic events affecting the issuer. Flex Options Risk: Trading FLEX Options involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. The Fund may experience losses from specific FLEX Option positions and certain FLEX Option positions may expire worthless. The FLEX Options are listed on an exchange; however, no one can 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. Less liquidity in the trading of the Fund’s FLEX Options could have an impact on the prices paid or received by the Fund for the FLEX Options in connection with creations and redemptions of the Fund’s shares. Depending on the nature of this impact to pricing, the Fund may be forced to pay more for redemptions (or receive less for creations) than the price at which it currently values the FLEX Options. Such overpayment or under collection could reduce the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Additionally, in a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the liquidation of a large number of options may more significantly impact the price. A less liquid trading market may adversely impact the value of the FLEX Options and the value of your investment. The trading in FLEX Options may be less deep and liquid than the market for certain other exchange-traded options, non-customized options or other securities. U.S. Government Securities Risk: U.S. government securities, such as T-Bills, are subject to interest rate risk but generally do not involve the credit risks associated with investments in other types of debt securities, as such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. As a result, the yields available from U.S. government securities are generally lower than the yields available from other debt securities. U.S. government securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and the payment of principal when held to maturity. Active Management Risk: The Fund is actively-managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser makes for the Fund. Such judgments about the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and the strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform as compared to other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, or could have negative returns. The Adviser will seek to employ the Fund’s investment strategy regardless of whether there are periods of adverse market, economic, or other conditions and will not seek to take temporary defensive positions during such periods. Asset Class Risk: Securities and other assets in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes. Clearing Member Default Risk: Transactions in some types of derivatives, including the options held by the Fund, are required to be centrally cleared (“cleared derivatives”). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund’s counterparty is a clearinghouse, such as the OCC, rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearinghouses, and only members of a clearinghouse (“clearing members”) can participate directly in the clearinghouse, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. With regard its cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to, and receive payments from, a clearinghouse through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any option contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member’s individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for its options position may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund’s clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients’ obligations to the clearinghouse, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member’s bankruptcy. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund’s behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member’s default. If a clearing member defaults, the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. The loss of a clearing member for the Fund to transact with could result in increased transaction costs and other operational issues that could impede the Fund’s ability to implement its investment strategy. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund’s behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy. Current Market Conditions Risk: Current market conditions risk is the risk that a particular investment, or Fund Shares in general, may fall in value due to current market conditions. As a means to fight inflation, which remains at elevated levels, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have raised interest rates; however, the Federal Reserve has recently lowered interest rates and may continue to do so. U.S. regulators have proposed several changes to market and issuer regulations which would directly impact the Fund, and any regulatory changes could adversely impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment strategies or make certain investments. Recent and potential future bank failures could result in disruption to the broader banking industry or markets generally and reduce confidence in financial institutions and the economy as a whole, which may also heighten market volatility and reduce liquidity. Additionally, challenges in commercial real estate markets, including rising interest rates, declining valuations and increasing vacancies, could have a broader impact on financial markets. The ongoing adversarial political climate in the United States, as well as political and diplomatic events both domestic and abroad, have and may continue to have an adverse impact the U.S. regulatory landscape, markets and investor behavior, which could have a negative impact on the Fund’s investments and operations. The change in administration resulting from the 2024 United States national elections could result in significant impacts to international trade relations, tax and immigration policies, and other aspects of the national and international political and financial landscape, which could affect, among other things, inflation and the securities markets generally. Other unexpected political, regulatory and diplomatic events within the U.S. and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Iran, Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, have caused and could continue to cause significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East and the United States. The hostilities and sanctions resulting from those hostilities have and could continue to have a significant impact on certain Fund investments as well as Fund performance and liquidity. The economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets generally, may be adversely impacted by trade disputes and other matters. For example, the United States has imposed trade barriers and restrictions on China. In addition, the Chinese government is engaged in a longstanding dispute with Taiwan, continually threatening an invasion. If the political climate between the United States and China does not improve or continues to deteriorate, if China were to attempt invading Taiwan, or if other geopolitical conflicts develop or worsen, economies, markets and individual securities may be adversely affected, and the value of the Fund’s assets may go down. A public health crisis and the ensuing policies enacted by governments and central banks may cause significant volatility and uncertainty in global financial markets, negatively impacting global growth prospects. As the COVID-19 global pandemic illustrated, such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. Advancements in technology may also adversely impact markets and the overall performance of the Fund. For instance, the economy may be significantly impacted by the advanced development and increased regulation of artificial intelligence. Additionally, cyber security breaches of both government and non-government entities could have negative impacts on infrastructure and the ability of such entities, including the Fund, to operate properly. These events, and any other future events, may adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio investments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Cybersecurity Risk: Failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Fund’s adviser, distributor and other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to cause disruptions, negatively impact the Fund’s business operations and/or potentially result in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems seeking to address system breaches or failures, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Furthermore, the Fund cannot control the cybersecurity plans and systems of the Fund’s other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants or issuers of securities in which the Fund invests. Debt Securities Risk: Investments in debt securities subject the holder to the credit risk of the issuer. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer or other obligor of a security will not be able or willing to make payments of interest and principal when due. Generally, the value of debt securities will change inversely with changes in interest rates. To the extent that interest rates rise, certain underlying obligations may be paid off substantially slower than originally anticipated and the value of those securities may fall sharply. During periods of falling interest rates, the income received by the Fund may decline. If the principal on a debt security is prepaid before expected, the prepayments of principal may have to be reinvested in obligations paying interest at lower rates. Debt securities generally do not trade on a securities exchange making them generally less liquid and more difficult to value than common stock. Derivatives Risk: The use of derivative instruments (i.e. options contracts) involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include: (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. Such prices are influenced by numerous factors that affect the markets, including, but not limited to: changing supply and demand relationships; government programs and policies; national and international political and economic events, changes in interest rates, inflation and deflation and changes in supply and demand relationships. Trading derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Derivative contracts ordinarily have leverage inherent in their terms. The use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it would not be advantageous to do so in order to satisfy its obligations or to meet regulatory or contractual requirements for derivatives. The use of derivatives can magnify potential for gain or loss and, therefore, amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund Share price. Early Close/Late Close/Trading Halt Risk: An exchange or market may close early, close late or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. As a result, the ability to trade certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may disrupt the Fund’s creation and redemption process, potentially affect the price at which Fund Shares trade in the secondary market, and/or result in the Fund being unable to trade certain securities or financial instruments at all. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may incur substantial trading losses. If trading in Fund Shares are halted, investors may be temporarily unable to trade Fund Shares. Inflation Risk: Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions may decline. This risk is more prevalent with respect to fixed income securities held by the Fund. Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising market interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter term debt securities and higher for longer-term debt securities. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent cycle of decreasing interest rates has led to rising bond prices, benefitting fixed-income investments in the short term. However, this environment also increases reinvestment risk as maturing bonds and coupon payments are likely to yield lower returns. Duration is a reasonably accurate measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates and a common measure of interest rate risk. Duration measures a debt security’s expected life on a present value basis, taking into account the debt security’s yield, interest payments and final maturity. In general, duration represents the expected percentage change in the value of a security for an immediate 1% change in interest rates. For example, the price of a debt security with a three-year duration would be expected to drop by approximately 3% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. Therefore, prices of debt securities with shorter durations tend to be less sensitive to interest rate changes than debt securities with longer durations. As the value of a debt security changes over time, so will its duration. High Portfolio Turnover Risk: The Fund may engage in active trading (often defined as exceeding 100% turnover), resulting in higher transaction costs, brokerage commissions, and dealer mark-ups. Such activity may produce increased realized capital gains or losses and negatively impact the Fund’s overall performance. Large Shareholder Risk: Certain shareholders, including affiliated funds advised by the Adviser, may from time to time own a significant portion of the Fund’s shares. In addition, a third-party investor, the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser (“Affiliate”), an authorized participant, a market maker, or another entity may invest in the Fund and hold its investment for a limited period solely to facilitate the commencement of the Fund or to help the Fund achieve a specified size or scale. There can be no assurance that any large shareholder will not redeem its investment, that the size of the Fund will be maintained at such levels, or that the Fund will continue to meet applicable listing requirements. Redemptions by large shareholders could have a significant negative impact on the Fund. In addition, transactions by large shareholders may account for a large percentage of the trading volume on the Fund’s listing exchange and may, therefore, have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the shares. To the extent that a significant percentage of the Fund’s shares are owned or controlled by a small number of account shareholders (or a single account shareholder), including funds or accounts over which the Adviser or an Affiliate has investment discretion, the Fund is subject to the risk that those shareholders may purchase or redeem Fund shares in significant amounts rapidly or unexpectedly, including as a result of an asset allocation decision made by the Adviser or an Affiliate. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance if the Adviser is forced to sell portfolio securities or invest cash when it would not otherwise choose to do so. Redemptions of a large number of shares may affect the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio, increase the Fund’s transaction costs, and accelerate the realization of taxable income and/or gains. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s gross expense ratio. Large purchases of the Fund’s shares may also adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash or otherwise maintains a larger cash position than it ordinarily would, particularly if the Fund accepts cash for an order for the purchase of creation units of the Fund’s shares. Liquidity Risk: The Fund may hold certain investments that may be subject to restrictions on resale, trade over-the-counter or in limited volume, or lack an active trading market. Accordingly, the Fund may not be able to sell or close out of such investments at favorable times or prices (or at all), or at the prices approximating those at which the Fund currently values them. Illiquid securities may trade at a discount from comparable, more liquid investments and may be subject to wide fluctuations in market value. New Fund Risk: The Fund is a recently organized investment company with a limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decision. Operational Risk: The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and the Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks. Structural ETF Risks: The Fund is an ETF. Accordingly, it is subject to certain risks associated with its unique structure. Cash Transactions Risk. The Fund may effect a significant portion of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. Paying redemption proceeds in cash rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may require the Fund to dispose of or sell portfolio securities or other assets at an inopportune time 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. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher or lower annual capital gains distributions than ETFs that redeem in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund Shares to trade in the market at greater bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund’s NAV. Furthermore, the Fund may not be able to execute cash transactions for creation and redemption purposes at the same price used to determine the Fund’s NAV. To the extent that the maximum additional charge for creation or redemption transactions is insufficient to cover the execution shortfall, the Fund’s performance could be negatively impacted. Market Participants Risk. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund, and none of those Authorized Participants is obligated to engage in creation and/or redemption transactions. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as Authorized Participants on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, Fund Shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to NAV and possibly face trading halts or delisting. The Fund may also rely on a small number of third-party market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Fund Shares but such market makers are under no obligation to do so. Decisions by Authorized Participants or market makers to reduce their role or step away from these activities in times of market stress could inhibit the effectiveness of the arbitrage process in maintaining the relationship between the underlying values of the Fund’s portfolio securities and the Fund’s market price. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers or any issues disrupting the Authorized Participants’ ability to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s net asset value and the price at which Fund Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in value of Fund Shares. This reduced effectiveness could result in Fund Shares trading at a premium or discount to net asset value and also in greater than normal intraday bid-ask spreads Fund Shares. Active Market Risk. Although Fund Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for Fund Shares will develop or be maintained. Fund Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at or above the Fund’s net asset value. Securities, including Fund Shares, are subject to market fluctuations and liquidity constraints that may be caused by such factors as economic, political, or regulatory developments, changes in interest rates, and/or perceived trends in securities prices. Fund Shares could decline in value or underperform other investments. <p id="xdx_A8B_eoef--RiskTextBlock_hoef--RiskAxis__custom--CostsOfBuyingAndSellingFundSharesMember_zDBdkNR9NNJ2" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify">Costs of Buying and Selling Fund Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Fund Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Fund Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Fund Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. Premium/Discount Risk. As with all ETFs, Fund Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of Fund Shares in the secondary market may differ from the Fund’s daily net asset value per share and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the net asset value per share (premium) or less than the net asset value per share (discount). If a shareholder purchases Fund Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the net asset value or sells Fund Shares at a time when the market price is at a discount to the net asset value, the shareholder may pay more for, or receive less than, the underlying value of the Fund Shares, respectively. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Trading Risks. Although Fund Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Fund Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Fund Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Fund Shares. Trading in Fund Shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Fund Shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in Fund Shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange’s “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. Tax Risk: The Fund may enter into various transactions, including transactions involving options contracts, for which there is a lack of clear guidance under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which may affect the taxation of the Fund. The use of certain derivatives may cause the Fund to realize higher amounts of ordinary income or short-term capital gain, to suspend or eliminate holding periods of positions, and/or to defer realized losses, potentially increasing the need to make taxable distributions, including those that will be taxed at the rates applicable to ordinary income. For example, exchange-traded options on certain indexes are currently taxed under Code Section 1256 pursuant to which profit and loss with respect to such options are subject to tax as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or loss regardless of the Fund’s holding period. In addition, certain derivatives are subject to mark-to-market, constructive sale, and straddle provisions of the Code. If such provisions are applicable, there could be an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable distributions that will need to be made by the Fund. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Code, which requires the Fund to distribute a certain portion of its income and gains each year, among other requirements. Similar to other ETFs, when the Fund disposes of appreciated property by distributing such appreciated property in-kind pursuant to redemption requests of its shareholders under Code Section 852(b)(6), the Fund does not recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court disagrees with the Fund’s position as to the applicability of this nonrecognition rule to the Fund’s dispositions, the Fund may not have distributed sufficient income or gains to qualify as a RIC. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund itself generally would be subject to regular corporate U.S. federal income tax, and distributions received by its shareholders would be subject to further U.S. federal income tax. Alternatively, the Fund may be required to pay a deficiency dividend (without having received additional cash) and applicable interest, and such dividend would be paid to the then current shareholders of the Fund. Failure to comply with the requirements for qualification as a RIC would have significant negative economic consequences to the Fund’s shareholders. In addition, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a derivative may not be as favorable as a direct investment in the underlying asset and may adversely affect the timing, character, and amount of income the Fund realizes from its investments. Code Section 1258 requires that certain capital gain from an investment be recharacterized as ordinary income if substantially all of the expected return is attributable to the time value of holding the investment and such investment falls into certain defined categories (a “conversion transaction”). If any of the Fund’s transactions or holding of Shares are deemed to be conversion transactions, certain gains from such transactions or Shares would be treated as ordinary income, which could result respectively in the Fund having not distributed enough income to qualify as a RIC (with the same tax consequences described above) or gain on the disposition of Shares being treated as ordinary income. No assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will not treat any such transactions by the Fund or the holding of Shares as conversion transactions. Additionally, the Code limits the availability of capital gains treatment in certain circumstances. If a transaction is marketed or sold as producing capital gains from a straddle position or the transaction is identified as a conversion transaction by the IRS, the Shareholder will not be eligible for capital gains tax treatment. The structure of the Fund’s investments has not been identified by the IRS as a conversion transaction. However, the behavior of brokers and dealers distributing the product could affect the character of the gain on disposition. The IRS could at some future point identify the structure of the Fund’s investments as a conversion transaction. In such a situation, Shareholders would not be eligible for capital gains tax treatment. If the IRS or a court were to determine that any transactions by the Fund should have been treated differently for tax purposes, it may be the case that the Fund has not previously distributed sufficient income or gains to qualify as a RIC in one or more prior years as described above. In addition to paying regular corporate income taxes or a deficiency dividend, the Fund may be responsible for penalties associated with incorrect information reporting about its distributions, which could be significant. Additionally, if the IRS or a court were to determine that any transactions by the Fund should have been treated differently for tax purposes, distributions made by the Fund may need to be recharacterized from capital gain to ordinary income, or vice versa, which could result in certain shareholders having underreported income or gains to the IRS for the applicable years. Such underreported income or gains could result in a shareholder owing increased taxes, penalties and interest to the IRS. Please consult your own tax advisor regarding how the Fund’s tax risks may potentially affect your particular tax situation. Valuation Risk: The Fund may hold securities or other assets that may be valued on the basis of factors other than market quotations. This may occur because the asset or security does not trade on a centralized exchange, or in times of market turmoil or reduced liquidity. There are multiple methods that can be used to value a portfolio holding when market quotations are not readily available. The value established for any portfolio holding at a point in time might differ from what would be produced using a different methodology or if it had been priced using market quotations. Portfolio holdings that are valued using techniques other than market quotations, including “fair valued” assets or securities, may be subject to greater fluctuation in their valuations from one day to the next than if market quotations were used. In addition, there is no assurance that the Fund could sell or close out a portfolio position for the value established for it at any time, and it is possible that the Fund would incur a loss because a portfolio position is sold or closed out at a discount to the valuation established by the Fund at that time. The Fund’s ability to value investments may be impacted by technological issues or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers. Performance: Because the Fund has not yet launched, the performance section is omitted. In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of this Prospectus. Updated performance information, when available, will be available online at www.graniteshares.com or by calling 844-476-8747. Because the Fund has not yet launched, the performance section is omitted. In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of this Prospectus. Other Expenses are estimated for the Fund’s initial fiscal year. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses reflect Fund expenses paid indirectly and do not correlate to the expense ratios in the Fund’s Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and exclude Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. The amounts are estimated for the Fund’s initial fiscal year. GraniteShares Advisors LLC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of any (i) interest, (ii) brokerage fees and commission, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses, (iv) fees and expenses associated with instruments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for example options and swap fees and expenses), (v) interest and dividend expense on short sales, (vi) taxes, (vii) other fees related to underlying investments (such as option fees and expenses or swap fees and expenses), (viii) expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization or (ix) extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.1349%. This agreement is effective until December 31, 2027, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. GraniteShares Advisors LLC may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date such fees and expenses were waived or paid, if such reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s total expense ratio to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment and the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment.
