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:
Meta Ecosystem Risk: The Fund’s performance is closely tied to the success, adoption, and commercial growth of Meta and technologies
associated with the Meta ecosystem. As a result, the Fund may be adversely affected by developments impacting Meta, including increased competition, technological disruption, regulatory
actions, reputational harm, litigation, changes in strategic relationships, reduced enterprise adoption, or a decline in market interest in Meta-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 Meta. Because the Fund maintains focused exposure to companies economically connected to the Meta ecosystem, the Fund may underperform broader equity markets or
other technology-focused investments during periods in which Meta-related companies are out of favor or experience negative market sentiment. Public statements—including public remarks
and social media activity—by Meta leadership may introduce uncertainty and/or cause fluctuations in the company’s stock price and sentiment around Meta. Changes in Meta’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 Meta ecosystem. The Advisor’s assessment of a company’s relationship
to the Meta ecosystem could be incorrect, which could negatively
impact the Fund’s ability to provide the intended exposure to Meta 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 investment in an ETF that effects all of its creations and redemptions
in-kind. Because the Fund may effect redemptions for cash, it may
be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash
