Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that a particular security, or Shares of the Fund in general, may fall in value. Shares of the Fund are subject to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, pandemics, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. These events also adversely affect the prices and liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio securities or other instruments and could result in disruptions in the trading markets. Any of such circumstances could have a materially negative impact on the value of the Fund’s Shares and result in increased market volatility. During any such events, the Fund’s Shares may trade at increased premiums or discounts to their net asset value.

Bitcoin Risk. Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation, and the market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes, and uncertainty. Trading prices of bitcoin and other digital assets have experienced significant volatility in recent periods, including patterns of rapid appreciation followed by sharp declines that have recurred multiple times throughout bitcoin’s history, including in 2011, 2013–2014, 2017–2018, and 2021–2025, and which continued throughout 2026. The further development of the Bitcoin Network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate, and the slowing, stopping, or reversing of such development or acceptance may adversely affect the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation, and security failures, and if one or a coordinated group of miners were to gain control of 51% of the Bitcoin Network, they would have the ability to manipulate transactions, halt payments, and fraudulently obtain bitcoin. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales,” whose transactions may influence the price of bitcoin. Unlike exchanges for more traditional assets such as equity securities and futures contracts, bitcoin and digital asset trading venues are largely unregulated and highly fragmented, heightening the potential for fraud and manipulation; digital asset trading platforms on which bitcoin is traded, and which may serve as a pricing source for the calculation of the reference rate used for valuing the Fund's investments, are or may become subject to enforcement actions by regulatory authorities that could have a material adverse impact on the Fund, its investments, and its ability to implement its investment strategy. As a result of this lack of regulation, individuals or groups may engage in fraud or market manipulation, including using social media to artificially inflate the price of bitcoin, and over the past several years a number of digital asset trading venues have been closed due to fraud, failure, or security breaches, leaving investors with little or no recourse and potentially significant losses. New or changing laws and regulations may affect the use of blockchain technology and investments in crypto assets, and digital asset trading venues, bitcoin miners, and other participants may have significant exposure to other cryptocurrencies whose price instability, availability, or adverse legal or regulatory status may in turn adversely impact the operation of such trading venues and the Bitcoin Network. The realization of any of these risks, or the creation of a “fork” or a substantial giveaway of bitcoin (sometimes referred to as an “air drop”), could result in significant and unexpected declines in the acceptance and value of bitcoin, bitcoin futures, and the Fund.

Bitcoin Miner Collusion Risk. Although miners are not forced to confirm any specific transaction, they are economically incentivized to confirm valid transactions as a means of collecting fees and have historically accepted relatively low confirmation fees given the very low marginal cost of validating unconfirmed transactions. Most iterations of mining software prioritize transactions based on thresholds selected by the user, the transaction fee paid, the value attached to the transaction, and the time the transaction was received. If miners collude in an anticompetitive manner to reject transactions that pay low fees, users would be required to either wait for a non-colluding miner to record their transaction or pay higher fees to ensure prompt confirmation, reducing the attractiveness of the Bitcoin Network. Because bitcoin mining occurs globally, it may be difficult for authorities to apply antitrust regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Similarly, if the number of outstanding transactions yet to be recorded in the blockchain (commonly referred to as “transactions in the mempool”) significantly exceeds the capacity of any single block, whether as a result of high levels of network usage or a malicious spam attack, miners are likely to prioritize transactions paying significant fees, leaving transactions with low or no fees in the mempool for extended periods and effectively requiring users to pay higher fees for prompt confirmation. The block reward for successfully mining a block will also decrease over time through periodic halving events and the mining incentive structure may accordingly transition to greater reliance on transaction confirmation fees to incentivize miners to continue dedicating processing power to the blockchain. If transaction confirmation fees become too high, the marketplace may be reluctant to use bitcoin; conversely, if the combination of the block reward and transaction fees is too low, miners may not be adequately incentivized to expend processing power to solve blocks, and transaction confirmations on the blockchain could be temporarily slowed. Any reduction in the processing power expended by miners on the Bitcoin Network could increase the likelihood of a malicious actor or botnet obtaining control of a majority of processing power, reducing the confidence in and security of the blockchain. Any collusion among miners, extended periods of mempool congestion, decreased demand for bitcoin, or reduced security on the Bitcoin Network may adversely impact an investment in the Shares or the ability of the Trust to operate.

Semiconductor Companies Risk. The Fund invests in companies primarily involved in the design, distribution, manufacture and sale of semiconductors. Semiconductor companies are significantly affected by rapid obsolescence, intense competition, both domestically and internationally, including from subsidized foreign competitors with lower production costs, and global demand. Semiconductor companies face wide fluctuations in securities prices due to the risks of rapid product obsolescence and changes in growth rates; the economic performance of the customers of semiconductor companies; research costs and risks that products may not prove commercially successful; capital equipment expenditures that could be substantial and suffer from rapid obsolescence; and thin capitalization and limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The semiconductor industry may be significantly affected by risks that affect the broader technology sector, including government regulation; dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel; heavy dependence on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect profitability; and a small number of companies representing a large portion of the technology sector as a whole. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the securities of such issuers will underperform the market as a whole due to legislative or regulatory changes. The prices of the securities of semiconductor companies may fluctuate widely in response to such events.

Power Generation and Energy Infrastructure Companies Risk. The Fund invests in companies involved in the generation of power, the production of energy infrastructure equipment and storage solutions, and the construction of energy infrastructure facilities essential to the operation of data centers. Such companies are subject to risks specific to the energy and energy-related industries. Market and economic factors present significant challenges, including commodity price volatility that may affect the volume of energy commodities transported, processed, stored, or distributed, as well as reduced availability or demand for natural gas and other energy commodities. Growth may be constrained by slowdowns in new construction and acquisitions or an inability to execute expansion projects cost-effectively. Operational vulnerabilities include rising interest rates and increased operating costs, counterparty defaults or bankruptcies, and the depletion of natural gas reserves. External threats such as extreme weather events, environmental hazards, and potential terrorist attacks on energy assets also pose material risks. Energy infrastructure companies may also face counterparty risk, such that long-term contracts may be declared void if the counterparty to those contracts enters bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, energy infrastructure companies are subject to significant federal, state and local government regulation in virtually every aspect of their operations, including how facilities are constructed, maintained and operated, environmental and safety controls, and the prices they may charge for products and services. Energy infrastructure companies that own interstate pipelines are subject to regulation by U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) with respect to the tariff rates they may charge for transportation services. An adverse determination by FERC with respect to the tariff rates of such a company could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and its ability to pay cash distributions or dividends. Various governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with these regulations and the permits issued under them and violators are subject to administrative, civil and criminal penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or both. Stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies could be enacted in the future which would likely increase compliance costs and may adversely affect the financial performance of energy infrastructure companies. Natural disasters may also impact energy infrastructure companies.

Certain power generation and energy infrastructure companies in the utility sector are subject to the imposition of rate caps, increased competition due to deregulation, the difficulty in obtaining an adequate return on invested capital or in financing large construction projects, the limitations on operations and increased costs and delays attributable to environmental considerations, and the capital market’s ability to absorb utility debt. In addition, taxes, government regulation, international politics, price and supply fluctuations, volatile interest rates and energy conservation may cause difficulties for these companies. Such issuers have been experiencing certain of these problems in varying degrees. Certain power generation and energy infrastructure companies involved in the production of electrical equipment and components are subject to the general state of the economy, exchange rates, commodity prices, intense competition, consolidation, domestic and international politics, government regulation, import controls, excess capacity, consumer demand and spending trends. In addition, these companies may also be significantly affected by overall capital spending levels, economic cycles, rapid technological changes, delays in modernization, labor relations, environmental liabilities, governmental and product liability and e-commerce initiatives.

Industry Concentration Risk. The Fund concentrates its investments in the industry or group of industries comprising the information technology sector. This concentration subjects the Fund to greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business, political, environmental or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industries.

Smaller Companies Risk. Small and/or mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments, and their securities may be less liquid and may experience greater price volatility than larger, more established companies as a result of several factors, including limited trading volumes, products or financial resources, management inexperience and less publicly available information. Accordingly, such companies are generally subject to greater market risk than larger, more established companies.

Digital Asset Industry Risk. The digital asset industry has recently been subject to a number of high-profile regulatory events as well as the introduction of new products and services. This has led to volatility and disruption in the digital asset markets and financial difficulties for several prominent industry participants, including digital asset trading platforms, hedge funds and lending platforms. For example, in the first half of 2022, digital asset lenders Celsius Network LLC and Voyager Digital Ltd. and digital asset hedge fund Three Arrows Capital each declared bankruptcy, and the stablecoin TerraUSD collapsed. These events caused a loss of confidence in participants in the digital asset ecosystem, negative publicity surrounding digital assets more broadly and market-wide declines in digital asset trading prices and liquidity.

Thereafter, in November 2022, FTX Trading Ltd. (“FTX”), the third largest digital asset trading platform by volume at the time, halted customer withdrawals amid rumors of the company’s liquidity issues and likely insolvency. Shortly thereafter, FTX’s CEO resigned and FTX and numerous affiliates of FTX filed for bankruptcy. The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) subsequently brought criminal charges, including charges of fraud, violations of federal securities laws, money laundering, and campaign finance offenses, against FTX’s former CEO and others. In November 2023, FTX’s former CEO was convicted of fraud and money laundering. Similar charges related to violations of anti-money laundering laws were brought in November 2023 against Binance and its former CEO. FTX is also under investigation by the SEC, the Justice Department, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, as well as by various regulatory authorities in the Bahamas, Europe and other jurisdictions. In response to these events, the digital asset markets have experienced extreme price volatility and declines in liquidity, and regulatory and enforcement scrutiny has increased, including from the DOJ, the SEC, the CFTC, the White House and Congress. In addition, several other entities in the digital asset industry filed for bankruptcy following FTX’s bankruptcy filing, such as BlockFi Inc. and Genesis Global Capital, LLC. The SEC also brought charges against Genesis Global Capital, LLC and Gemini Trust Company, LLC on January 12, 2023, for their alleged unregistered offer and sale of securities to retail investors. In October 2023, the New York Attorney General brought charges against Gemini, Genesis Global Capital and numerous affiliates of Genesis Global Capital, and Digital Currency Group alleging violations of law relating to the Gemini Earn program. In May 2024, the Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York approved a settlement of the charges with the Genesis entities.

These events resulted in calls for heightened scrutiny and regulation of the digital asset industry, with a specific focus on digital asset trading platforms, and custodians. For example, in June 2023, the SEC brought charges against Binance (the “Binance Complaint”) and Coinbase (the “Coinbase Complaint”), two of the largest digital asset trading platforms, alleging that they solicited U.S. investors to buy, sell, and trade “crypto asset securities” through their unregistered trading platforms and operated unregistered securities exchanges, brokerages and clearing agencies. Binance subsequently announced that it would be suspending USD deposits and withdrawals on Binance.US and that it plans to delist its USD trading pairs. In addition, in November 2023, the SEC brought similar charges against Kraken (the “Kraken Complaint”), alleging that it operated as an unregistered securities exchange, brokerage and clearing agency. The Binance Complaint, the Coinbase Complaint and the Kraken Complaint led to further volatility in digital asset prices. In January 2025, the SEC launched the Crypto Task Force dedicated to developing a comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for digital assets led by Commissioner Hester Peirce. Subsequently, Commissioner Peirce announced a list of specific priorities to further that initiative, which included pursuing final rules related to a digital asset’s security status, a revised path to registered offerings and listings for digital asset-based investment vehicles, and clarity regarding digital asset custody, lending and staking. In February 2025, Coinbase and the SEC entered into a joint stipulation to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit with prejudice, subject to the court’s approval. Kraken has also announced that it reached an agreement in principle with the SEC to dismiss the SEC’s lawsuit, subject to formal approval by the SEC’s Commissioners. In May 2025, the SEC voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit against Binance. Several other digital asset market participants have also announced that the SEC informed them that the SEC was terminating its investigation or enforcement action into their firm. The final outcome of these lawsuits (to the extent not yet dismissed), their effect on the broader digital asset ecosystem and the reputational impact on industry participants, remain uncertain.

A wide range of U.S. regulators, including the Federal Reserve Board, the SEC, the CFTC, FinCEN, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as well as the White House, have issued a growing number of reports and releases concerning digital assets and digital asset markets. In addition, the U.S. Congress has enacted and proposed a number of bills that will have significant impacts on the U.S. digital asset market. However, the extent and content of any forthcoming laws and regulations are not yet ascertainable with certainty, and it may not be ascertainable in the near future. It is possible that new laws and increased regulation and regulatory scrutiny may require the Fund to comply with certain regulatory regimes, which could result in new costs for the Fund. The Fund may have to devote increased time and attention to regulatory matters, which could increase costs to the Fund.

In 2025, Congress undertook significant legislative efforts to address the rapidly evolving landscape of digital assets and cryptocurrencies, culminating in the passage of a landmark bill: the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (the “GENIUS Act”). This legislative action represents the first comprehensive federal framework for the regulation of stablecoins in the United States.

The GENIUS Act, signed into law in July 2025, establishes the first federal regulatory framework for the issuance and operation of payment stablecoins—digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. The GENIUS Act requires that all payment stablecoins be fully backed on a one-to-one basis by high-quality liquid assets, such as U.S. dollars or short-term U.S. Treasury securities, and subjects issuers to rigorous reserve, audit, and disclosure requirements. The GENIUS Act introduces a dual licensing regime, allowing stablecoin issuers to operate under either federal or state regulatory oversight, provided that state regimes are “substantially similar” to federal standards. Issuers with more than $10 billion in outstanding stablecoins must obtain a federal license. The GENIUS Act also imposes strict AML, sanctions compliance, and consumer protection obligations, including prioritizing stablecoin holders’ claims in the event of issuer insolvency. Notably, the Act prohibits non-financial public companies from issuing stablecoins without special approval and restricts the payment of interest or yield on stablecoins.

In addition, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025 (the “CLARITY Act”) was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in July 2025. The CLARITY Act was designed to resolve longstanding regulatory uncertainty regarding the classification and oversight of digital assets. The CLARITY Act establishes a clear framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities, or payment stablecoins. It delineates the respective jurisdictions of the SEC and the CFTC, granting the CFTC exclusive authority over “digital commodities” and the SEC authority over “digital securities.” The CLARITY Act also introduces criteria for determining when a digital asset is sufficiently decentralized to be treated as a commodity rather than a security. In addition, the CLARITY Act imposes registration requirements and operational standards for digital asset intermediaries, including exchanges, brokers, and dealers. It mandates consumer protection measures, anti-money laundering (“AML”) and countering the financing of terrorism (“CFT”) compliance, and enhanced disclosure obligations. The Act aims to foster innovation while providing market participants with greater regulatory certainty and aligning U.S. policy with emerging international standards. Similar market structure legislation is currently under consideration by the U.S. Senate but there is no certainty whether the legislation will be enacted in 2026 or what form final legislation will take.

These legislative efforts were accompanied by additional measures, such as the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, which prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a retail central bank digital currency without congressional authorization. While the GENIUS Act represents significant progress toward a comprehensive regulatory regime for digital assets, substantial uncertainty remains regarding the implementation and interpretation of this new law. The effectiveness of this framework, and the framework proposed under the CLARITY Act, if passed by Congress, will depend on subsequent rulemaking by federal and state regulators, interagency coordination, and the evolving approach to enforcement. Market participants may face transitional risks as regulatory standards are developed and applied, and there is potential for further legislative or regulatory changes as the digital asset ecosystem continues to evolve.

On March 17, 2026, the SEC issued a joint interpretation with the CFTC clarifying the application of the federal securities laws to certain types of crypto assets and transactions involving crypto assets. The interpretation establishes a token taxonomy classifying crypto assets into five categories: (i) digital commodities; (ii) digital collectibles; (iii) digital tools; (iv) stablecoins; and (v) digital securities. The SEC explicitly identified bitcoin as a “digital commodity” that is not itself a security. Digital commodities are defined as crypto assets that are intrinsically linked to and derive their value from the programmatic operation of a functional crypto system, as well as supply and demand dynamics, rather than from the expectation of profits from the essential managerial efforts of others. The interpretation provides that digital commodities, digital collectibles, and digital tools are not themselves securities, though they may become subject to an investment contract under certain circumstances. The interpretation also clarifies that protocol staking activities do not involve the offer and sale of a security. Although the SEC’s March 2026 interpretation provides significant clarity regarding the regulatory treatment of bitcoin and similar digital commodities, uncertainty remains regarding certain aspects of digital asset regulation. A non-security crypto asset may become subject to the federal securities laws if it is offered and sold as part of an investment contract.

These events are continuing to develop at a rapid pace and it is not possible to predict at this time all of the risks that they may pose to the Fund, the Fund’s third-party service providers, or to the digital asset industry as a whole. Continued disruption and instability in the digital asset markets as these events develop, including further declines in the trading prices and liquidity of bitcoin, could have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares and the Shares could lose all or substantially all of their value.

Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts may be less liquid than the underlying shares in their primary trading market. Any distributions paid to the holders of depositary receipts are usually subject to a fee charged by the depositary. Holders of depositary receipts may have limited voting rights, and investment restrictions in certain countries may adversely impact the value of depositary receipts because such restrictions may limit the ability to convert the equity shares into depositary receipts and vice versa. Such restrictions may cause the equity shares of the underlying issuer to trade at a discount or premium to the market price of the depositary receipts.

Geopolitical Risks. The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from each of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflicts and the military actions involving Iran, as well as recent developments to U.S. trade policies. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the recent escalation of the conflicts in the Middle East and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflicts, the military actions involving Iran and subsequent sanctions or related actions or the recent changes to trade policies by the United States and other countries, could adversely affect the Fund’s performance and the market price of the Fund’s Shares.

Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and its performance reflects the application of investment techniques and risk analyses in the investment decisions that the Sub-Adviser and Adviser make 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.

Asset Concentration Risk. Since the Fund may take concentrated positions in certain securities, the Fund’s performance may be disproportionately and significantly impacted by the poor performance of those positions to which it has significant exposure. Asset concentration makes the Fund more susceptible to any single occurrence affecting the underlying positions and may subject the Fund to greater market risk than more diversified funds.

Cyber Security Risk. The Fund is susceptible to operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption or lose operational capacity. Such events could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems through “hacking” or malicious software coding, but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks through efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users. In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third-party service providers, such as its administrator, transfer agent, custodian, or sub-adviser, as applicable, or issuers in which the Fund invests, can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. While the Fund has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Additionally, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third-party service providers.

Market Maker Risk. If the Fund has lower average daily trading volumes, it may rely on a small number of third-party market makers to provide a market for the purchase and sale of Shares. Any trading halt or other problem relating to the trading activity of these market makers could result in a dramatic change in the spread between the Fund’s net asset value and the price at which the Shares are trading on the Exchange, which could result in a decrease in value of the Shares. In addition, decisions by market makers or authorized participants 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. This reduced effectiveness could result in Shares trading at a discount to net asset value and also in greater than normal intra-day bid-ask spreads for Shares.

Premium/Discount Risk. The market price of the Fund’s Shares will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in the Fund’s net asset value as well as the relative supply of and demand for Shares on the Exchange. The Fund’s market price may deviate from the value of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, particularly in time of market stress, with the result that investors may pay more or receive less than the underlying value of the Fund shares bought or sold. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser cannot predict whether Shares will trade below, at or above their net asset value because the Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices and not at net asset value. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for Shares will be closely related, but not identical, to the same forces influencing the prices of the holdings of the Fund trading individually or in the aggregate at any point in time. However, given that Shares can only be purchased and redeemed in Creation Units, and only to and from broker-dealers and large institutional investors that have entered into participation agreements (unlike shares of closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their net asset value), the Adviser and Sub-Adviser believe that large discounts or premiums to the net asset value of Shares should not be sustained. During stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund’s Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the market for the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which could in turn lead to differences between the market price of the Fund’s Shares and their net asset value. This can be reflected as a spread between the bid and ask prices for the Fund quoted during the day or a premium or discount in the closing price from the Fund’s net asset value.

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 Code. As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income and net capital gain that it distributes to shareholders, provided that it satisfies certain requirements of the Code. If the Fund does not qualify as a RIC for any taxable year and certain relief provisions are not available, the Fund’s taxable income will be subject to tax at the Fund level and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. Additionally, buying securities shortly before the record date for a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution is commonly known as “buying the dividend.” In the event a shareholder purchases Shares shortly before such a distribution, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

Volatility Risk. Volatility is the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a short time period. The Fund may invest in securities that exhibit more volatility than the market as a whole. Such exposures could cause the Fund’s net asset value to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
