PROSPECTUS
April 30,
2026
This
prospectus describes the above referenced funds (each a “Fund” and collectively,
the “Funds”) which are authorized to offer one class of shares by this
prospectus.
The
Funds seek daily inverse leveraged or long leveraged investment results and are
intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles.
The
Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who
do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The Funds
are very different from most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Investors
should note that:
(1)
The Funds are riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the
Funds magnify the performance of their underlying security.
(2)
With respect to the Inverse Funds, each Fund pursues a daily investment
objective that is inverse to the performance of its underlying security, a
result opposite of most mutual funds and ETFs.
(3)
The pursuit of their daily investment objective means that the return of the
Funds for a period longer than a full trading day will be the product of a
series of daily leveraged or leveraged inverse returns, for each trading day
during the relevant period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market
volatility, the volatility of the underlying security may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying security. Further,
the return for investors that invest for periods less than a full trading day
will not be the product of the return of the Fund’s stated daily leveraged or
leveraged inverse investment objective and the performance of the underlying
security for the full trading day. During periods of high volatility, the Fund
may not perform as expected and the Fund may have losses when an investor may
have expected gains if the Fund is held for a period that is different than one
trading day.
The
Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized
only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing
dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should:
(1)
understand the risks associated with the use of leveraged or leveraged inverse
strategies;
(2)
understand the consequences of seeking daily
leveraged or leveraged inverse investment
results; and
(3)
intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.
Investors
who do not understand the Funds, or do not intend to actively manage their funds
and monitor their investments, should not buy the Funds.
There
is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their daily leveraged or daily
inverse leveraged investment objective and an investment in the Funds could lose
money. The Funds are not a complete investment program.
The
Funds’ investment adviser will not attempt to position each Fund’s portfolio to
ensure that a Fund does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its
net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, if a Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50%, as applicable, on a given trading day in a
direction adverse to the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their
money.

T-REX 2X LONG AFRM DAILY
TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long AFRM Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Affirm Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFRM) (“AFRM”).
The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a
trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of AFRM for the
period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be
the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will
very likely differ from 200% of the return of AFRM for that period. Longer
holding periods, higher volatility of AFRM and leverage increase the impact of
compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher AFRM volatility,
the volatility of AFRM may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than,
the return of AFRM.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if AFRM’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if AFRM’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
AFRM falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of AFRM. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

of the expenses of the Fund, excluding the advisory fees, interest expenses,
taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other
portfolio transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions
effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including
interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s
business.
(2)The
cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the
operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes
that your investment has a five percent (5%) return each year and that the
Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your
actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 16, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial
instruments that are designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the
price performance of AFRM on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on AFRM or
by investing directly in the common stock of AFRM. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and
direct investments in AFRM common stock based upon various factors including,
but not limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity,
collateral availability, and overall market conditions for a particular
instrument. Direct investments in common stock of AFRM are typically less
efficient than the use of swap agreements because direct investments in common
stock do not provide leveraged returns. This may result in the Fund not
achieving its 200% daily investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in AFRM that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(AFRM) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain AFRM exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which AFRM is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which AFRM is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, AFRM is assigned to the technology sector and the
software-infrastructure industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of AFRM. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to AFRM is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of AFRM’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of AFRM has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
AFRM has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM)
Affirm
Holdings, Inc. is an American technology company that provides financial
services for shoppers and merchants. As of early April 2026, the
market capitalization of Affirm Holdings, Inc. is approximately $15.3 billion.
AFRM is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by Affirm Holdings, Inc. pursuant to
the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange
Commission file number 1-39888 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Affirm Holdings, Inc. may be obtained from other sources
including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other
publicly disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Affirm Holdings, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding Affirm Holdings, Inc. is
accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all
events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of AFRM have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Affirm Holdings, Inc.
could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to AFRM and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the
Fund
and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a Fund and its
counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out all swap
transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties will
be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund
and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment
objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve
its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all
of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a
complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of AFRM’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of AFRM
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how AFRM volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) AFRM volatility; b) AFRM performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to AFRM. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of AFRM volatility and AFRM performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to AFRM; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of AFRM.
During
periods of higher AFRM volatility, the volatility of AFRM may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of AFRM. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of AFRM during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if AFRM
provided no return over a one-year period during which AFRM experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if AFRM’s return is
flat. For
instance, if AFRM’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of AFRM and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of AFRM. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

AFRM’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 107.39%. AFRM’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 141.96%
2022 126.61%
2023 98.91%
2024 78.36%
2025 75.06%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
AFRM’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
8.78%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what AFRM
volatility and performance will be in the future. AFRM’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for AFRM is $100.00 on August
29, 2025 and the 52-week low stock price for AFRM is $39.35, which
occurred on April 16, 2025. AFRM’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
AFRM will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in AFRM, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if AFRM subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if AFRM does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with AFRM and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely
affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to
their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could
widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee,
change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative
security, reduce its leverage or close. In such circumstances, the Fund’s
investment adviser will consult with counsel to the Trust and its Board of
Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund will amend and/or
supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the circumstances to
include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other
recognized
pricing methods. As the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may
enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of AFRM, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to AFRM
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of AFRM at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of AFRM at the time of purchase. If AFRM
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if AFRM declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of AFRM.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
AFRM and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to AFRM is impacted by AFRM’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to AFRM at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to AFRM
increases on days when AFRM is volatile near
the
close of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high
volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to
the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) AFRM. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with AFRM. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to AFRM. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of AFRM. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
AFRM and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Affirm
Holdings, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Affirm Holdings, Inc. and make no
representation as to the performance of AFRM. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in AFRM. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to AFRM.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to
be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security
or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole
and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
AFRM
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to
be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security
or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole
and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In addition
to the risks associated generally with operating companies, AFRM faces risks
unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of AFRM common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of AFRM’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
AFRM is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Technology
Sector Risk. The
market prices of technology-related securities tend to exhibit a greater
degree of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types of
securities. These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors
rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices.
Technology securities may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of
existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and
may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources, or personnel.
Technology companies may
experience
dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for
qualified personnel. These companies are also heavily dependent on patent and
intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely
impact a company’s profitability. A small number of companies represent a large
portion of the technology industry. In addition, a rising interest rate
environment tends to negatively affect technology companies, those technology
companies seeking to finance expansion would have increased borrowing costs,
which may negatively impact earnings. Technology companies having high market
valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp
decreases in their market prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Affirm Holdings, Inc. is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide exposure to the industry to which Affirm Holdings, Inc. is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, AFRM is assigned to the software-infrastructure
industry.
•Computer
Software Industry Risk. Computer
software companies can be significantly affected by competitive pressures,
aggressive pricing, technological developments, changing domestic demand, the
ability to attract and retain skilled employees and availability and price of
components. The market for products produced by computer software companies is
characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence,
cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new product
introductions. The success of computer software companies depends in substantial
part on the timely and successful introduction of new products and the ability
to service such products. An unexpected change in one or more of the
technologies affecting an issuer’s products or in the market for products based
on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on a
participant’s operating results. Many computer software companies rely on a
combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to
establish and protect their proprietary rights in their products and
technologies. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by computer
software companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to
prevent misappropriation of their technology or that competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to such companies’ technology.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted.
Certain
market conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses,
realizing gains, or achieving a high correlation with AFRM. There is no
assurance that a security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when
purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for
the Fund. To the extent that AFRM value increases or decreases significantly,
the Fund may be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact
in the AFRM. Under such circumstances, the market for AFRM may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more
difficulty transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of AFRM and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for AFRM and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of AFRM and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with AFRM and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or AFRM experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of AFRM does not provide leveraged exposure to AFRM and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of AFRM to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the
Fund’s
volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s performance will decline based
on the performance of a single issuer or the credit of a single counterparty and
make the Fund more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic,
political, or regulatory occurrence than a diversified
fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act
as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number
of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent
either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to
NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become
unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step
forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity
providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities
and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does not
have a full calendar year of performance history. In the future,
performance information will be presented in this section of the Prospectus.
Performance information will contain a bar chart and table that provide some
indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the
Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the Fund’s average annual
returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad measure of market
performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG ALPHABET
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long Alphabet Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) (“GOOG”). The
return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading
day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of GOOG for the period.
The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result
of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of GOOG for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of GOOG and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher GOOG volatility, the volatility of
GOOG may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of GOOG.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if GOOG’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if GOOG’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if GOOG loses
more than 50% in one day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of GOOG. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its
net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial
instruments that are designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the
price performance of GOOG on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on GOOG or
by investing directly in the common stock of GOOG. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and
direct investments in GOOG common stock based upon various factors including,
but not limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity,
collateral availability, and overall market conditions for a particular
instrument. Direct investments in common stock of GOOG are typically less
efficient than the use of swap agreements because direct investments in common
stock do not provide leveraged returns. This may result in the Fund not
achieving its 200% daily investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in GOOG that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund’s net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. Flexible
Exchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(GOOG) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain GOOG exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which GOOG is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which GOOG is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, GOOG is assigned to the communication services sector and
interactive media & services industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of GOOG. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to GOOG is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of GOOG’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of GOOG has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
GOOG has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-
day
basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money. Taking a temporary
defensive position may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objective.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)
Alphabet
Inc. provides online advertising services in the United States, Europe, the
Middle East, Africa, the Asia-Pacific, Canada, and Latin America. The company
offers performance and brand advertising services. As of April 2026, the market
capitalization of Alphabet Inc. is approximately $3.55 trillion. GOOG is
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Alphabet Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by
reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file number 001-37580
through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In
addition, information regarding Alphabet Inc. may be obtained from other sources
including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other
publicly disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Alphabet Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither the
Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Alphabet Inc. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of GOOG have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Alphabet Inc. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to GOOG and therefore
the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of GOOG’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GOOG
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how GOOG volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) GOOG volatility; b) GOOG performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to GOOG. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – GOOG volatility and GOOG performance
– on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number
of combinations of GOOG volatility and GOOG performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to GOOG; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of GOOG.
During
periods of higher GOOG volatility, the volatility of GOOG may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of GOOG. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GOOG during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if GOOG
provided no return over a one-year period during which GOOG experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if GOOG’s return is
flat. For
instance, if GOOG’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of GOOG and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of GOOG. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

volatility and performance will be in the future.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.“
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
GOOG will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in GOOG, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if GOOG subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if GOOG does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with GOOG and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such
circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change its investment
objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative index, reduce its
leverage or close.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements. Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a
specified period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a
standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or
differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined
reference or underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be
exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional
amount or the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount
invested in a reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded
over-the-counter, and therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection
as exchanged-traded instruments, which may expose investors to significant
losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment
objective.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased
liquidity
of the FLEX Options, and changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX
Options are listed on an exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid
secondary trading market will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX
Options is limited or absent, the value of the FLEX Options may
decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of GOOG, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to GOOG
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of GOOG at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of GOOG at the time of purchase. If GOOG
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if GOOG declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of GOOG.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the
close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
GOOG and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to GOOG is impacted by GOOG’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to GOOG at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to GOOG
increases on days when GOOG is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) GOOG. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax
efficiency,
comply with regulatory restrictions, or for other reasons, each of which may
negatively affect the Fund’s desired correlation with GOOG. The Fund may be
subject to large movements of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially
resulting in the Fund being over- or under-exposed to GOOG. Additionally, the
Fund’s underlying investments and/or reference assets may trade on markets that
may not be open on the same day as the Fund, which may cause a difference
between the changes in the daily performance of the Fund and changes in the
performance of GOOG. Any of these factors could decrease the correlation between
the performance of the Fund and GOOG and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet
its daily leveraged investment objective on or around that
day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Alphabet
Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Alphabet Inc. and make no representation as to the performance of
GOOG. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in GOOG. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
GOOG.
Alphabet
Inc. Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of
security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. As of the date of this
prospectus, in addition to the risks associated generally with operating
companies and companies in the communication services sector, Alphabet Inc.
faces risks associated with reliance on advertising revenue and the effect that
loss of partners or new and existing technologies that block advertisements
online may have on its business; intense competition for its products and
services across different industries; investments in new businesses, products,
services and technologies that may divert management attention or harm its
financial condition or operating results; slowdowns in its revenue growth rate;
the ability to protect its intellectual property rights; the ability to maintain
or enhance its brands and its impact on the ability to expand its user base,
advertisers, customers, content providers and other partners; manufacturing and
supply chain issues; interruptions to, or interferences with, its complex
technology and communication systems; its international operations; failure to
evolve with the advancement of technology and user preferences; data privacy and
security concerns; regulatory, and legal and litigations
issues.
Communication
Services Sector Risk. The
performance of companies in the communication services sector may be affected by
(without limitation) the following factors: industry competition, increasing
governmental regulation, the ability to keep pace with technological advancement
and scrutiny by public bodies. Technological innovations may reduce the utility
of products and services of companies in the communication services sector and
render them less competitive or obsolete over time. These companies may need to
commit substantial capital investment to deal with increasing competition and to
keep pace with technological enhancement in order to remain
competitive.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Alphabet
is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which Alphabet Inc. is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries.
•Interactive
Media & Services Industry Risk. The
performance of companies in the interactive media and services industry may be
affected by (without limitation) the following factors: failure to attract and
retain a substantial number of new device manufacturers, suppliers,
distributors, developers, or users, or failing to develop products
and
technologies that work well on new devices and platforms; data privacy and
security concerns; regulatory changes; and intellectual property
concerns.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.

in mega-capitalization companies may involve certain risks. Although mega-cap
companies are typically well-established and may have substantial financial
resources, broad product lines, and diversified operations, they may be less
able to respond quickly to changes in market conditions, technological
developments, or shifts in consumer preferences. As a result, such companies may
experience slower growth rates compared to smaller or mid-sized
companies.
In
addition, mega-cap companies may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, as
well as heightened exposure to global economic, political, and geopolitical
risks due to their multinational operations. Their size and market prominence
may make it more difficult to achieve significant growth, particularly during
periods of economic expansion. While securities of mega-cap companies may be
less volatile than those of smaller companies, they may underperform other
segments of the market, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investment
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with GOOG. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that GOOG value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in GOOG. Under such
circumstances, the market for securities of GOOG may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more
difficulty transacting in GOOG or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of GOOG and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in GOOG and/or Fund may lack
sufficient liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund
may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as
swap contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity
and volatility in the price of GOOG and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be
unable
to accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with GOOG and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or GOOG experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX and incur
significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of GOOG does not provide leveraged exposure to GOOG and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of GOOG to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG APH DAILY
TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long APH Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. As a
result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH) (“APH”). The
return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading
day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of APH for the period.
The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result
of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of APH for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of APH and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher APH volatility, the volatility of
APH may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of APH.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if APH’s performance is flat, and it
is possible that the Fund will lose money even if APH’s performance increases
over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full
principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of APH
falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of APH. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
The Fund commenced operations on February 18, 2026 and therefore does not have
any portfolio turnover information available.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments
that are designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price
performance of APH on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to
achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on APH or by
investing directly in the common stock of APH. The Adviser will determine the
allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct
investments in APH common stock based upon various factors including, but not
limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral
availability, and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct
investments in common stock of APH are typically less efficient than the use of
swap agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide
leveraged returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in APH that is equal, on
a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(APH) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain APH exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which APH is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which APH is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, APH is assigned to the technology sector and the electronics
components industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of APH. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to APH is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The
impact of APH’s price movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s
portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of APH has risen on
a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the Fund’s
exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of APH has fallen
on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s exposure
will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in high
portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money
market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality (investment
grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Amphenol Corporation (APH)
Amphenol
Corporation designs, manufactures, and markets electrical, electronic, and fiber
optic connectors in the United States, China, and internationally. As of April
2, 2026, the market capitalization of Amphenol Corporation is approximately
$157.3 billion. APH is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Amphenol Corporation
pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities
and Exchange Commission file number 001-10879 through the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In
addition, information regarding Amphenol Corporation may be obtained
from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Amphenol Corporation from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding Amphenol Corporation is
accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all
events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of APH have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Amphenol Corporation
could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to APH and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties
will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the
Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged
investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment
objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of APH’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of APH
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how APH volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) APH volatility; b) APH performance; c) period of time; d) financing
rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect to APH. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of APH volatility and APH performance over a one-year period. Performance shown
in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to APH; (ii)
there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending
rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of
APH.
During
periods of higher APH volatility, the volatility of APH may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of APH. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of APH during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if APH
provided no return over a one-year period during which APH experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if APH’s return is
flat. For
instance, if APH’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of APH and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of APH. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

APH’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 27.21%. APH’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 20.78%
2022 29.71%
2023 18.46%
2024 26.46%
2025 36.70%
APH’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
32.80%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what APH
volatility and performance will be in the future. APH’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for APH is $167.04 on January
27, 2026 and the 52-week low stock price for APH is $62.55, which
occurred on April 21, 2025. APH’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
APH will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced
by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in APH, not including the
costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further
reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its
net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%. This would
result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if APH
subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of
its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if APH
does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying
any differences in the Fund’s correlation with APH and may increase the
volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change
its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative
security, reduce its leverage or close. In such circumstances, the Fund’s
investment
adviser will consult with counsel to the Trust and its Board of
Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund will amend and/or
supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the circumstances to
include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized
pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may
vary because of related factors other than the value of the reference asset.
Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other than gains or
losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes, changing
supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and changing
volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of APH, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to APH that
is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The
Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of APH at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of APH at the time of purchase. If APH gains
value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if APH declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of APH.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
APH and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to APH is impacted by APH’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to APH at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to APH
increases on days when APH is volatile near the close of the trading day. Market
disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which
the
Fund invests, early and unanticipated closings of the markets on which the
holdings of the Fund trade, resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute
intended portfolio transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may
cause the Fund to hold (or not to hold) APH. The Fund may take or refrain from
taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory
restrictions, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the
Fund’s desired correlation with APH. The Fund may be subject to large movements
of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being
over- or under-exposed to APH. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments
and/or reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same
day as the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of APH. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
APH and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Amphenol
Corporation is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Amphenol Corporation and make no
representation as to the performance of APH. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in APH. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to APH.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
APH
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to
be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security
or particular type of security may perform differently from the market as a
whole. In addition to the risks associated generally with investments in equity
securities, APH faces risks unique to its operations, including dependence on
demand from industrial, automotive, communications, and defense end markets,
exposure to cyclical capital spending, supply chain disruptions, raw material
cost fluctuations, and competitive pricing pressures. APH’s results may also be
affected by its global manufacturing footprint and reliance on acquisitions to
support growth. The trading price of APH common stock may be volatile, and APH’s
business strategy and end-market exposure may
evolve.
Technology
Sector Risk. The
market prices of technology-related securities tend to exhibit a greater
degree of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types of
securities. These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors
rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices.
Technology securities may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of
existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and
may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources, or personnel.
Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in
growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies are also
heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or
impairment of which may adversely impact a company’s profitability. A small
number of companies represent a large portion of the technology industry. In
addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to negatively affect
technology companies, those technology companies seeking to finance expansion
would have increased borrowing costs, which may negatively impact earnings.
Technology companies having high market valuations may appear less attractive to
investors, which may cause sharp decreases in their market
prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Amphenol Corporation is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide exposure to the industry to which Amphenol Corporation is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, APH is assigned to the electronics components industry.
•Electronics
Components Industry Risk. Electronics
components companies can be significantly affected by competitive pressures,
fluctuations in demand, technological developments, rapid product obsolescence,
cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards, and reliance on global
supply chains. The market for products produced by electronics components
companies is characterized by intense competition, frequent innovation, short
product life cycles, and sensitivity to broader economic conditions. The success
of electronics components companies depends in substantial part on their ability
to anticipate technological changes, manage supply chain disruptions, introduce
new products on a timely basis, and meet customer specifications and quality
requirements. Unexpected shifts in demand, shortages of key raw materials or
subcomponents, or changes in the technologies used in end markets could have a
material adverse effect on a participant’s operating results. Many electronic
component companies rely on a combination of patents, trade secrets, and
specialized manufacturing know-how to protect their products and processes.
There can be no assurance that the steps taken by electronics components
companies to protect their proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation or that competitors will not independently develop technologies
or products that are substantially equivalent or
superior.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
ETF
Investing Risk.
The Fund may invest in other ETFs for cash management. As a result, the Fund
will be subject to the risks associated with the underlying ETFs in which they
invest and the securities held by those ETFs. These risks include investment
risk related to the underlying portfolio holdings, as well as structural risks
of ETFs, such as market price fluctuations, trading at prices above or below net
asset value, limited secondary market liquidity, and potential trading halts.
Investments in ETFs also involve the layering of expenses, as shareholders of
the Fund will indirectly bear a portion of the operating expenses of the
underlying ETFs in addition to the Fund's own expenses. To the extent the Fund
invests in ETFs within the same group of investment companies, potential
conflicts of interest may arise. The performance of the Fund may be adversely
affected by the performance of the underlying ETFs and their portfolio
investments.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy
or
sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an unfavorable time or
price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market conditions or
restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains, or
achieving a high correlation with APH. There is no assurance that a security or
derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be
liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that APH
value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one of many market
participants that are attempting to transact in the APH. Under such
circumstances, the market for APH may lack sufficient liquidity for all market
participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting
in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's transactions could
exacerbate the price changes of APH and may impact the ability of the Fund
to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for APH and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty
transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts.
Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in
the price of APH and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with APH and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or APH experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of APH does not provide leveraged exposure to APH and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of APH to a greater extent, the
Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small
number
of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few
counterparties. This may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk
that the Fund’s performance will decline based on the performance of a single
issuer or the credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible
to risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence
than a diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
New
Fund Risk. As
of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has limited operating history and
currently has fewer assets than larger funds. Like other new funds, large
inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods
of time. This impact may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of
market movement during the period affected.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does not
have a full calendar year of performance history. In the future, performance information
will be presented in this section of the Prospectus. Performance information
will contain a bar chart and table that provide
some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing
changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the Fund’s
average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad measure
of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

performance information for the Fund, including its current net asset value per
share, is available by calling toll-free at (833)

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. ). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG APPLE
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long Apple Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) (“AAPL”). The return
for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day
should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of AAPL for the period. The
return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of
each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of AAPL for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of AAPL and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher AAPL volatility, the volatility of
AAPL may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of AAPL.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if AAPL’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if AAPL’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
AAPL falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of AAPL. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
AAPL on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on AAPL or by investing directly
in the common stock of AAPL. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
AAPL common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of AAPL are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in AAPL that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets. If the Adviser
determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call
options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(AAPL) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain AAPL exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which AAPL is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which AAPL is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, AAPL is assigned to the technology sector and the computer
manufacturing industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of AAPL. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to AAPL is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of AAPL’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of AAPL has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
AAPL has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day
basis,
the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Apple, Inc. (AAPL)
Apple,
Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets smartphones, personal computers,
tablets, wearables, and accessories worldwide. It also sells various
related services. As of April 6, 2026, the market capitalization of Apple
Inc. is approximately $3.75 trillion. AAPL is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Information provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Apple, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can be
located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-36743 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding Apple, Inc. may
be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Apple, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither the
Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Apple, Inc.is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of AAPL have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Apple, Inc. could affect
the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to AAPL and therefore the value
of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period,
which
is very likely to differ from 200% of AAPL’s performance, before fees and
expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact
on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance daily and becomes more pronounced
as volatility and holding periods increase. The effects of compounding will
impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of AAPL during the
shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how AAPL volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) AAPL volatility; b) AAPL performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to AAPL. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of AAPL volatility and AAPL performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to AAPL; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of AAPL.
During
periods of higher AAPL volatility, the volatility of AAPL may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of AAPL. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of AAPL during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if AAPL
provided no return over a one-year period during which AAPL experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if AAPL’s return is
flat. For
instance, if AAPL’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of AAPL and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of AAPL. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk” below.

Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
AAPL’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
15.42%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what AAPL
volatility and performance will be in the future.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
AAPL will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in AAPL, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if AAPL subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if AAPL does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with AAPL and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change
its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative
security, reduce its leverage or close.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or
differentials
in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment
objective.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of AAPL, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to AAPL
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of AAPL at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of AAPL at the time of purchase. If AAPL
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if AAPL declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of AAPL.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
AAPL and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to AAPL is impacted by AAPL’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to AAPL at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to AAPL
increases on days when AAPL is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) AAPL. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with AAPL. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to AAPL. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of AAPL. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
AAPL and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Apple,
Inc.is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Apple, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance of
AAPL. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to
investing
in AAPL. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive
dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to
AAPL.
Apple
Inc. Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of
security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. As of the date of this
prospectus, in addition to the risks associated with companies in the technology
sector, Apple Inc. faces risks related to the impacts from the COVID-19
pandemic; managing the frequent introductions and transitions of products and
services; the outsourced manufacturing and logistical services provided by
partners, many of which are located outside of the United States; the ability to
obtain components in sufficient quantities
on
commercially reasonable terms for its products; potential design and
manufacturing defects in its products and services; the reliance on access to
third-party intellectual property and on third-party software developers;
ability to obtain or create digital content that appeals to customers; the
ability to retain and hire highly skilled employees, including key personnel;
the performance of carriers, wholesalers, retailers and other resellers;
information technology system failures and network disruptions; losses or
unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information; and legal
and
regulatory
compliance risks.
Technology
Sector Risk.
The market prices of technology-related securities tend to exhibit a
greater degree of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types
of securities. These securities may fall in and out of favor with
investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and
dramatically lower market prices. Technology securities may be
affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing
technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and
may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources, or personnel.
Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable
changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These
companies are also heavily dependent on patent and intellectual
property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely
impact a company’s profitability. A small number of
companies represent a large portion of the technology industry.
In addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to
negatively affect technology companies, those technology
companies seeking to finance expansion would have increased
borrowing costs, which may negatively impact earnings.
Technology companies having high market valuations may appear
less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp decreases in their
market prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Apple, Inc. is assigned
(i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that provide
inverse exposure to the industry to which Apple, Inc.is assigned). A portfolio
concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a portfolio
broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this prospectus,
AAPL is assigned to the computer manufacturing industry.
•Computer
Manufacturing Industry Risk.
Computer
manufacturing companies face intense competition, both domestically and
internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Computer
manufacturing companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial
resources, or personnel. The products of computer manufacturing companies may
face rapid product obsolescence due to technological developments and frequent
new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition
for the services of qualified personnel. Failure to introduce new products,
develop and maintain a loyal customer base, or achieve general market acceptance
for their products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business.
Companies in the computer manufacturing sector are heavily dependent on
intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark
protections may adversely affect the profitability of these
companies.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk.
When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment
in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in
interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by
the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer
maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest
rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the
debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay
principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than expected), and
prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of
interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular
investment by the Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and total return
to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of
investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mega-Capitalization
Company Risk. Investments
in mega-capitalization companies may involve certain risks. Although mega-cap
companies are typically well-established and may have substantial financial
resources, broad product lines, and diversified operations, they may be less
able to respond quickly to changes in market conditions, technological
developments, or shifts in consumer preferences. As a result, such companies may
experience slower growth rates compared to smaller or mid-sized
companies.
In
addition, mega-cap companies may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, as
well as heightened exposure to global economic, political, and geopolitical
risks due to their multinational operations. Their size and market prominence
may make it more difficult to achieve significant growth, particularly during
periods of economic expansion. While securities of mega-cap companies may be
less volatile than those of smaller companies, they may underperform other
segments of the market, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investment
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with AAPL. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that AAPL value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the AAPL. Under
such circumstances, the market for AAPL may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of AAPL and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for AAPL and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of AAPL and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with AAPL and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or AAPL experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX and incur
significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of AAPL does not provide leveraged exposure to AAPL and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of AAPL to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.
As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at
market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will
approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares
is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market
price is at a premium to the NAV of the Shares or sells at a time
when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Shares, then the
investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any losses caused by a
decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG BMNR
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long BMNR Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:
BMNR) (“BMNR”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or
shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance
of BMNR for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a
trading day will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the
period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of BMNR for that
period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of BMNR and leverage increase
the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher
BMNR volatility, the volatility of BMNR may affect the Fund’s return as much as,
or more than, the return of BMNR.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if BMNR’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if BMNR’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
BMNR falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of BMNR. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 26, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
BMNR on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on BMNR or by investing directly
in the common stock of BMNR. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
BMNR common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of BMNR are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in BMNR that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets. If the Adviser
determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call
options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(BMNR) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain BMNR exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which BMNR is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which BMNR is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, BMNR is assigned to the financial services sector and the capital
markets industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of BMNR. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to BMNR is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of BMNR’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of BMNR has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be
increased.
Conversely, if the price of BMNR has fallen on a given day, net assets of the
Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This
daily rebalancing typically results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day
basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.

the Adviser nor any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly
available documents or any other publicly available information regarding
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the
Fund cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of
the prospectus (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness
of the publicly available documents described above) that would affect the
trading price of BMNR have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any
such events or the disclosure of, or failure to disclose, material future events
concerning Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. could affect the value of the
Fund’s investments with respect to BMNR and therefore the value of the
Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the
Fund
may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to
change its leveraged investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of BMNR’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of BMNR
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how BMNR volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) BMNR volatility; b) BMNR performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to BMNR. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of BMNR volatility and BMNR performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to BMNR; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of BMNR.
During
periods of higher BMNR volatility, the volatility of BMNR may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of BMNR. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of BMNR during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if BMNR
provided no return over a one-year period during which BMNR experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if BMNR’s return is
flat. For
instance, if BMNR’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of BMNR and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of BMNR. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

BMNR’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 474.27%. BMNR’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 370.15%
2022 297.94%
2023 365.74%
2024 252.04%
2025 771.84%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
BMNR’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
-12.45%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what BMNR
volatility and performance will be in the future. The trading price of BMNR’s
common stock is likely to be volatile compared to the market. The trading prices
of technology company securities historically have been highly volatile. The
trading price of BMNR’s common stock has been and is likely to continue to be
subject to wide fluctuations. By way of example, currently BMNR’s 52-week
high stock price was $161.00 on July 3, 2025, and its 52-week low stock
price was $3.20 on May 19, 2025. BMNR’s 52-week high and low stock price may
change significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
BMNR will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in BMNR, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if BMNR subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if BMNR does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with BMNR and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain
options
contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be determined based on
market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As the options contracts
are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new options contracts, a
practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of BMNR, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to BMNR
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of BMNR at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of BMNR at the time of purchase. If BMNR
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if BMNR declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of BMNR.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
BMNR and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to BMNR is impacted by BMNR’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to BMNR at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to BMNR
increases on days when BMNR is volatile near
the
close of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high
volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to
the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) BMNR. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with BMNR. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to BMNR. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of BMNR. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
BMNR and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Bitmine
Immersion Technologies, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser,
or any affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and
has no obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that
might affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are
not responsible for the performance of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. and
make no representation as to the performance of BMNR. Investing in the Fund is
not equivalent to investing in BMNR. Fund shareholders will not have voting
rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other
rights with respect to BMNR.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
BMNR
Investing Risk. . Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, BMNR faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of BMNR common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of BMNR’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
BMNR is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Financials
Sector Risk. Financial
services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may
limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they
can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their
activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must
maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of
capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due
to increased competition. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an
unusually high
degree
of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause
certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of
financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when
such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their
assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity
securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial
difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment
activities can negatively impact the sector. Adverse economic, business or
political developments affecting real estate could have a major effect on the
value of real estate securities (which include REITs). Declining real estate
values could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance
or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the
value of real estate.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Bitmine Immersion
Technologies, Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in
investments that provide exposure to the industry to which Bitmine Immersion
Technologies, Inc. is assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular
industry may present more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over
several industries. As of the date of this prospectus, BMNR is assigned to the
capital markets industry.
•Capital
Markets Industry Risk. The
Fund may invest in companies operating within the capital markets industry,
including investment banks, asset managers, securities exchanges, and other
financial services providers. These companies are subject to extensive
government regulation and oversight, which can change rapidly and unpredictably,
potentially affecting profitability and business operations. The performance of
capital markets firms is closely tied to the health of global financial markets,
investor sentiment, and the level of trading, underwriting, and asset management
activity. These companies may be adversely affected during periods of market
volatility, declining equity or debt issuance, or reduced investor
participation. In addition, capital markets firms often have significant
exposure to counterparty, credit, and liquidity risk, particularly in times of
financial stress. Operational failures, cybersecurity breaches, and reputational
damage can also materially impact their value. As a result, adverse developments
in the capital markets industry may negatively affect the Fund’s investments and
performance.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mid-Capitalization
Company Risk. Mid-capitalization
companies may have limited financial resources, narrower product lines, and less
diversified markets than larger, more established companies. While mid-cap
companies often have greater growth potential than large-cap firms, they may
also be more sensitive to changing market conditions, competitive pressures, and
economic downturns. Their securities may experience greater price volatility and
may be less liquid than those of large-cap companies, which could affect their
market value and investment returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with BMNR. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when
purchased
will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To
the extent that BMNR value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be
one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the BMNR.
Under such circumstances, the market for BMNR may lack sufficient liquidity for
all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of BMNR and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for BMNR and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of BMNR and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with BMNR and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or BMNR experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of BMNR does not provide leveraged exposure to BMNR and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of BMNR to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single
issuer
or the credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to
risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence
than a diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG CRCL
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long CRCL Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL)
(“CRCL”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter
than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of CRCL
for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day
will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period,
which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of CRCL for that period.
Longer holding periods, higher volatility of CRCL and leverage increase the
impact of compounding on an Investor’s returns. During periods of higher CRCL
volatility, the volatility of CRCL may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or
more than, the return of CRCL.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if CRCL’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if CRCL’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
CRCL falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of CRCL. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From August 11, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
CRCL on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on CRCL or by investing directly
in the common stock of CRCL. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
CRCL common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of CRCL are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in CRCL that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fun’'s net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
eXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(CRCL) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain CRCL exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which CRCL is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which CRCL is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, CRCL is assigned to the financial technology sector and the capital
markets industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of CRCL. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to CRCL is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The impact of CRCL’s price movements during the day will affect whether the
Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of CRCL has
risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the
Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of CRCL has
fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s
exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in
high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold
money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Circle Internet Group, Inc. (CRCL)
Circle
Internet Group, Inc. is a global financial technology firm that specializes in
digital currencies and blockchain technology. Circle Internet Group, Inc. is the
issuer of the USDC stablecoin, a cryptocurrency designed to be pegged to the
U.S. dollar, and they also provide various services and platform APIs for
payments, commerce, and other financial applications. As of April 2, 2026, the
market capitalization of Circle Internet Group, Inc. is approximately $21.9
billion. CRCL is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by Circle Internet Group, Inc. pursuant
to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities and
Exchange Commission file number 001-42671 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Circle Internet Group, Inc. may be obtained from other sources
including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other
publicly disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Circle Internet Group, Inc. from the publicly available documents described
above. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has
participated in the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust,
the Adviser nor any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly
available documents or any other publicly available information regarding Circle
Internet Group, Inc. is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give
any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus
(including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly
available documents described above) that would affect the trading price of CRCL
have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the
disclosure of, or failure to disclose, material future events concerning Circle
Internet Group, Inc. could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with
respect to CRCL and therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of CRCL’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how CRCL volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) CRCL volatility; b) CRCL performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to CRCL. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of CRCL volatility and CRCL performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to CRCL; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of CRCL.
During
periods of higher CRCL volatility, the volatility of CRCL may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of CRCL. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if CRCL
provided no return over a one-year period during which CRCL experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if CRCL’s return is
flat. For
instance, if CRCL’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of CRCL and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of CRCL. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

CRCL’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the one-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 252.81%. CRCL’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2025 252.81%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
CRCL’s
annualized performance for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
411.67%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what CRCL
volatility and performance will be in the future. CRCL’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for CRCL is $298.99 on June 23, 2025 and the
52-week low stock price for CRCL is $49.90, which occurred on February 5, 2026.
CRCL’s 52-week high and low stock price may change significantly over a short
period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
CRCL will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in CRCL, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if CRCL subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if CRCL does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with CRCL and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change
its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative
security, reduce its leverage or close. In such circumstances, the Fund’s
investment
adviser will consult with counsel to the Trust and its Board of
Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund will amend and/or
supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the circumstances to
include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
whIch the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized
pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the expiration date may
vary because of related factors other than the value of the reference asset.
Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other than gains or
losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes, changing
supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and changing
volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of CRCL, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to CRCL
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of CRCL at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of CRCL at the time of purchase. If CRCL
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if CRCL declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of CRCL.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
CRCL and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to CRCL is impacted by CRCL’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to CRCL at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to CRCL
increases on days when CRCL is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which
the
Fund invests, early and unanticipated closings of the markets on which the
holdings of the Fund trade, resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute
intended portfolio transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may
cause the Fund to hold (or not to hold) CRCL. The Fund may take or refrain from
taking positions in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory
restrictions, or for other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the
Fund’s desired correlation with CRCL. The Fund may be subject to large movements
of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being
over- or under-exposed to CRCL. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments
and/or reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same
day as the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of CRCL. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
CRCL and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Circle
Internet Group, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Circle Internet Group, Inc. and make no
representation as to the performance of CRCL. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in CRCL. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to CRCL.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
CRCL
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of
security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. In addition to the risks
associated generally with operating companies, CRCL faces risks unique due to
its business model. CRCL, which operates under the brand name CRCL, is a global
financial technology company that specializes in digital currencies and
blockchain technology. CRCL is best known for issuing the stablecoin USDC,
a digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar. CRLC also provides various
financial and technology services to businesses and developers, enabling them to
integrate stablecoins and blockchain technology into their operations. CRCL
operations subjects it to the following risks:
•Interest
Rate Risk: CRCL’s revenue model heavily relies on the interest earned from
reserves that back its USDC stablecoin, which are primarily held in short-term
U.S. Treasury bills. A decline in interest rates could significantly reduce
Circle's income and impact its profitability.
•Regulatory
Uncertainty: The cryptocurrency regulatory landscape is volatile and
evolving, with varying standards across different jurisdictions. Stricter
regulations, increased oversight, or changes in how regulatory bodies interpret
and apply existing laws could hinder CRCL’s growth or pose threats to its
business model. While certain legislative and regulatory initiatives aim to
bring more regulatory clarity, stricter capital requirements or limits on
interest income could negatively impact CRCL’s margins.
•Competitive
Pressure: The stablecoin market is becoming increasingly competitive, with
rivals and potential entrants from traditional banks exploring stablecoin
offerings. This could erode CRCL’s market share and impact its revenue and
profitability.
•Macroeconomic
Volatility: Broad economic factors, such as shifts in interest rates or
volatility in the cryptocurrency market, can affect CRCL’s financial
performance. A pivot to lower interest rates could reduce interest income from
reserves, while a crypto bear market could shrink USDC's circulation and impact
revenue.
•Dependence
on Partnerships: While CRCL has expanded its product offerings and revenue
streams, it still relies on significant partnerships for the distribution and
adoption of USDC. If these partnerships change or end, it could impact CRCL’s
distribution costs and reserve income.
•De-pegging
Risk: While USDC is designed to be redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars, there
is a risk of a "de-peg," where the token could trade below $1 on third-party
platforms. This could be triggered by events like a run on a bank holding CRCL’s
assets.
•Cybersecurity
Risks: CRCL’s reliance on third-party systems and the increasing
sophistication of cyberattacks expose the company to potential security breaches
that could affect its operations, data, and
reputation.
The trading price of CRCL common stock is likely to be volatile.
Additionally, CRCL’s common stock may in the future be traded by short sellers
which may put pressure on the supply and demand for its common stock, further
influencing volatility in its market price. CRCL is a highly dynamic company,
and its operations, including its products and services, may
change.
Financial Technology Sector Risk.
FinTech
companies may face competition from larger and more established firms, and a
FinTech company may not currently or in the future derive any revenue from
disruptive technologies. In addition, FinTech companies may not be able to
capitalize on their disruptive technologies if they face political and/or legal
attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national
governments.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Circle Internet Group,
Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments
that provide exposure to the industry to which Circle Internet Group, Inc. is
assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more
risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the
date of this prospectus, CRCL is assigned to the capital markets
industry.
•Capital
Markets Risk. The
capital markets industry includes companies that facilitate the issuance,
buying, and selling of financial securities and other investments, such as
broker-dealers, investment banks, asset managers, securities exchanges, and
financial data providers. These companies may be adversely affected by market
volatility, reduced trading activity, changes in interest rates, or a decline in
the value of assets under management. Their profitability can be sensitive to
economic and market conditions, regulatory changes, competition, and
technological disruption. In addition, capital markets companies are subject to
operational risks, including settlement failures, cybersecurity incidents, and
compliance costs. Adverse developments in the capital markets sector could
negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments in such
companies.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with CRCL. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that CRCL value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the CRCL. Under
such circumstances, the market for CRCL may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments instruments and the
Fund's transactions could exacerbate the price changes of CRCL and may
impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for CRCL and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the’Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of CRCL and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with CRCL and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or CRCL experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of CRCL does not provide leveraged exposure to CRCL and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of CRCL to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would
be
taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation subject to U.S.
federal income tax on all its income at the fund level. The resulting taxes
could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets and the amount of income
available for distribution. In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a
RIC, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial
taxes and interest, and make certain distributions. Please see the section
entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of Additional Information for more
information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG CRWV
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long CRWV Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) (“CRWV”). The
return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading
day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of CRWV for the period.
The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result
of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of CRWV for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of CRWV and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher CRWV volatility, the volatility of
CRWV may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of CRWV.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if CRWV’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if CRWV’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
CRWV falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of CRWV. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

the Investment Advisory Agreement, Tuttle Capital Management LLC (the
“Adviser”), at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Fund, pays all
of the expenses of the Fund, excluding the advisory fees, interest expenses,
taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other
portfolio transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions
effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including
interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s
business.
(2)The
cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the
operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From July 25, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
CRWV on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on CRWV or by investing directly
in the common stock of CRWV. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
CRWV common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of CRWV are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in CRWV that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(CRWV) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain CRWV exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which CRWV is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which CRWV is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, CRWV is assigned to the information technology sector and the
software industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of CRWV. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to CRWV is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The impact of CRWV’s price movements during the day will affect whether the
Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of CRWV has
risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the
Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of CRWV has
fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s
exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in
high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold
money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
CoreWeave,
Inc. (CRWV)
CoreWeave,
Inc. operates a cloud platform that provides scaling, support, and
acceleration for GenAI. As of April 2, 2026, the market
capitalization of CoreWeave, Inc. is approximately $43.2 billion. CRWV
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by CoreWeave, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can
be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-42563 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website
at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding CoreWeave, Inc. may be
obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
CoreWeave, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither
the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding CoreWeave, Inc. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of CRWV have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning CoreWeave, Inc. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to CRWV and therefore
the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the
Fund
may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to
change its leveraged investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of CRWV’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRWV
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how CRWV volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) CRWV volatility; b) CRWV performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to CRWV. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of CRWV volatility and CRWV performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to CRWV; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of CRWV.
During
periods of higher CRWV volatility, the volatility of CRWV may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of CRWV. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRWV during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if CRWV
provided no return over a one-year period during which CRWV experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if CRWV’s return is
flat. For
instance, if CRWV’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of CRWV and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of CRWV. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

CRWV’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the one-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 124.16%. CRWV’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2025 124.16%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
CRWV’s
annualized performance for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
114.23%. The
market prices of CRWV’s common stock are subject to fluctuations due both to
factors affecting market prices for publicly traded equity securities generally
and to factors affecting CRWV’s common stock. CRWV’s stock price may be more
volatile than the market. Market prices of CRWV’s common stock have been
volatile at times in the past, and may be volatile in the future. By way of
example, currently, CRWV's 52-week high stock price was $187.00 on June 20,
205, and its 52-week low stock price was $33.52 on April 21, 2025. CRWV’s high
and low stock price may change significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
CRWV will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in CRWV, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if CRWV subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if CRWV does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with CRWV and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction
fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an
alternative security, reduce its leverage or close. In such circumstances, the
Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to the Trust and its Board
of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund will amend and/or
supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the circumstances to
include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of CRWV, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to CRWV
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of CRWV at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of CRWV at the time of purchase. If CRWV
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if CRWV declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of CRWV.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
CRWV and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to CRWV is impacted by CRWV’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to CRWV at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to CRWV
increases on days when CRWV is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) CRWV. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with CRWV. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to CRWV. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of CRWV. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
CRWV and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. CoreWeave,
Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of CoreWeave, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance
of CRWV. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in CRWV. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
CRWV.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
CRWV
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, CRWV faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of CRWV common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of CRWV’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
CRWV is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Information
Technology Sector Risk. The
value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely
heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology
product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and
competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from
competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information
technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned
companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market.
Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and
intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely
affect profitability. Additionally, companies in
the
information technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes
in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified
personnel.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which CoreWeave, Inc. is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide exposure to the industry to which CoreWeave, Inc. is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, CRWV is assigned to the software industry.
•Computer
Software Industry Risk. Computer
software companies can be significantly affected by competitive pressures,
aggressive pricing, technological developments, changing domestic demand, the
ability to attract and retain skilled employees and availability and price of
components. The market for products produced by computer software companies is
characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence,
cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new product
introductions. The success of computer software companies depends in substantial
part on the timely and successful introduction of new products and the ability
to service such products. An unexpected change in one or more of the
technologies affecting an issuer’s products or in the market for products based
on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on a
participant’s operating results.
Many
computer software companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary
rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by computer software companies to protect their proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that
competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to such companies’
technology.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with CRWV. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that CRWV value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the CRWV. Under
such circumstances, the market for CRWV may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants'
trades.
Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securities or
financial instruments and the Fund's transactions could exacerbate the
price changes of CRWV and may impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its
investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for CRWV and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of CRWV and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with CRWV and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or CRWV experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange,
Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of CRWV does not provide leveraged exposure to CRWV and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of CRWV to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG DJT DAILY
TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long DJT Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. As a
result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.
(NASDAQ: DJT) (“DJT”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer
or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the
performance of DJT for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer
than a trading day will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return
over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of DJT
for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of DJT and leverage
increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of
higher DJT volatility, the volatility of DJT may affect the Fund’s return as
much as, or more than, the return of DJT.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if DJT’s performance is flat, and it
is possible that the Fund will lose money even if DJT’s performance increases
over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full
principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of DJT
falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of DJT. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your
investment has a five percent (5%) return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From March 4, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
DJT on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on DJT or by investing directly
in the common stock of DJT. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
DJT common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of DJT are typically less efficient than the use of swap agreements
because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in DJT that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund's net assets. If the Adviser determines to use
call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call options, including
“FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. Flexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(DJT) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain DJT exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which DJT is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which DJT is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, DJT is assigned to the communications services sector and the
interactive media and services industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of DJT. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to DJT is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of DJT’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of DJT has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
DJT has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to
hold
money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT)
Trump
Media & Technology Group Corp. is a social media and technology company that
operates a social media platform, Truth Social, that focuses on free and open
communication for its users. As of April 2, 2026, the market capitalization of
Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. is approximately $2.54 billion. DJT
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.
pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities
and Exchange Commission file number 001-40779 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s wet www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. may be obtained
from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding Trump
Media & Technology Group Corp. from the publicly available documents
described above. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has
participated in the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust,
the Adviser nor any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly
available documents or any other publicly available information regarding Trump
Media & Technology Group Corp. is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the
Fund cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of
the prospectus (including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness
of the publicly available documents described above) that would affect the
trading price of DJT have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any
such events or the disclosure of, or failure to disclose, material future events
concerning Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. could affect the value of
the Fund’s investments with respect to DJT and therefore the value of the
Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of DJT’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of DJT
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how DJT volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) DJT volatility; b) DJT performance; c) period of time; d) financing
rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect to DJT. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of DJT volatility and DJT performance over a one-year period. Performance shown
in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to DJT; (ii)
there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending
rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of
DJT.
During
periods of higher DJT volatility, the volatility of DJT may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of DJT. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of DJT during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if DJT
provided no return over a one-year period during which DJT experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if DJT’s return is
flat. For
instance, if DJT’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of DJT and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of DJT. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

DJT’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 213.79%. DJT’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 747.35%
2022 119.48%
2023 70.47%
2024 161.62%
2025 77.45%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
DJT’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
6.94%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what DJT
volatility and performance will be in the future. The trading price of DJT’s
common stock is likely to be volatile, and may be more volatile than the
markets. By way of example, currently, DJT’s 52-week high stock price
was $27.78 on May 14, 2025, and its 52-week low stock price was $8.31 on
March 20, 2026. DJT’s high and low stock price may change significantly over a
short period of time.
The
following factors may cause volatility of the price of DJT’s common stock:
results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and
investors; results of operations that vary from DJT’s competitors; changes in
expectations as to DJT’s future financial performance, including financial
estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;
declines in the market prices of stocks generally; strategic actions by DJT or
its competitors; announcements by DJT or its competitors of significant
contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or
capital commitments; announcements of estimates by third parties of actual or
anticipated changes in the size of DJT’s user base or the level of user
engagement; any significant change in DJT’s management; changes in general
economic or market conditions or trends in DJT’s industry or markets; changes in
business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new
interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to DJT’s business;
investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with DJT’s common
stock relative to other investment alternatives; the public’s response to press
releases or other public announcements by DJT or third parties; litigation
involving DJT or DJT’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into
DJT’s operations or those of DJT’s competitors; guidance, if any, that DJT’s
provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or DJT’s failure to meet
this guidance; the development and sustainability of an active trading market
for DJT’s common stock; actions by institutional or activist stockholders; and
developments in new legislation and pending lawsuits or regulatory actions,
including interim or final rulings by judicial or regulatory
bodies.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
DJT will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced
by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in DJT, not including the
costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further
reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its
net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%. This would
result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if DJT
subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of
its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if DJT
does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying
any differences in the Fund’s correlation with DJT and may increase the
volatility of the Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period,
the
Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments to its
investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of DJT, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to DJT that
is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The
Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund
intraday
in the secondary market is a function of the difference between the value of DJT
at the market close on the first trading day and the value of DJT at the time of
purchase. If DJT gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount
as the Fund’s exposure. Conversely, if DJT declines, the Fund’s net assets will
decline by the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that
purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or
less than, the Fund’s stated multiple of DJT.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
DJT and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to DJT is impacted by DJT’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to DJT at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to DJT
increases on days when DJT is volatile near the close of the trading day. Market
disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) DJT. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in
order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with DJT. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to DJT. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of DJT. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
DJT and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Trump
Media & Technology Group Corp. is not affiliated with the Trust, the
Adviser, or any affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any
way, and has no obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions
that might affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate
are not responsible for the performance of Trump Media & Technology Group
Corp. and make no representation as to the performance of DJT. Investing in the
Fund is not equivalent to investing in DJT. Fund shareholders will not have
voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any
other rights with respect to DJT.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
Communication
Services Sector Risk. The
performance of companies in the communication services sector may be affected by
(without limitation) the following factors: industry competition, increasing
governmental regulation, the ability to keep pace with technological advancement
and scrutiny by public bodies. Technological innovations may reduce the utility
of products and services of companies in the communication services sector and
render them less competitive or obsolete over time. These companies may need to
commit substantial capital investment to deal with increasing competition and to
keep pace with technological enhancement in order to remain
competitive.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Trump Media &
Technology Group Corp. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets
in investments that provide inverse exposure to the industry to which Trump
Media & Technology Group Corp. is assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a
particular industry may present more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified
over several industries. As of the date of this prospectus, DJT is assigned to
the interactive media and services industry.
•Internet
and Media Services Industry Risk. The
prices of the securities of companies engaged in content and information
creation or distribution through proprietary platforms, where revenues are
derived primarily through pay-per-click advertisements, including search
engines, social media and networking platforms, online classifieds, and online
review companies are closely tied to the performance of the overall economy and
may be affected by changes in general economic growth, consumer confidence and
consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also may affect
the success of companies on the Internet and Media Services Industry. In
addition, legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision
may affect companies in the Internet and Media Services
Industry.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mid-Capitalization
Companies Risk. Stock
prices of mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of
large-capitalization companies and, therefore, the Fund’s share price may be
more volatile than those of funds that invest a larger percentage of their
assets in stocks issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of
mid-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of
large-capitalization companies to adverse business or economic developments, and
the stocks of mid-capitalization companies may be less liquid than those of
large-capitalization companies, making it difficult for the Fund to buy and sell
shares of mid-capitalization companies. In addition, mid-capitalization
companies generally have less diverse product lines than large-capitalization
companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their
products.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with DJT. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that DJT value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in
the
DJT. Under such circumstances, the market for DJT may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more
difficulty transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of DJT and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for DJT and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty
transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts.
Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in
the price of DJT and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with DJT and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or DJT experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of DJT does not provide leveraged exposure to DJT and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of DJT to a greater extent, the
Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG EOSE
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long EOSE Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE)
(“EOSE”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter
than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of EOSE
for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day
will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period,
which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of EOSE for that period.
Longer holding periods, higher volatility of EOSE and leverage increase the
impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher EOSE
volatility, the volatility of EOSE may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or
more than, the return of EOSE.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if EOSE’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if EOSE’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
EOSE falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of EOSE. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
The Fund commenced operations on January 14, 2026 and therefore does not have
any portfolio turnover information available.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments
that are designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price
performance of EOSE on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to
achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on EOSE or by
investing directly in the common stock of EOSE. The Adviser will determine the
allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct
investments in EOSE common stock based upon various factors including, but not
limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral
availability, and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct
investments in common stock of EOSE are typically less efficient than the use of
swap agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide
leveraged returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in EOSE that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(EOSE) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain EOSE exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which EOSE is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which EOSE is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, EOSE is assigned to the industrials sector and the electrical
equipment and parts industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of EOSE. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to EOSE is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The impact of EOSE’s price movements during the day will affect whether the
Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of EOSE has
risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the
Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of EOSE has
fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s
exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in
high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold
money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (EOSE)
Eos
Energy Enterprises, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, and markets
energy storage solutions for utility-scale, microgrid, and commercial and
industrial applications in the United States. As of April 2, 2026, the market
capitalization of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. is approximately $1.69 billion.
EOSE is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities
and Exchange Commission file number 001-39291 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. may be obtained from other sources
including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other
publicly disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding Eos
Energy Enterprises, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc.
is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that
all events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of EOSE have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Eos Energy Enterprises,
Inc. could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to EOSE and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the
Fund
may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective or may decide to
change its leveraged investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of EOSE’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of EOSE
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how EOSE volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) EOSE volatility; b) EOSE performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to EOSE. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of EOSE volatility and EOSE performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to EOSE; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of EOSE.
During
periods of higher EOSE volatility, the volatility of EOSE may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of EOSE. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of EOSE during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if EOSE
provided no return over a one-year period during which EOSE experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if EOSE’s return is
flat. For
instance, if EOSE’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of EOSE and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of EOSE. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

EOSE’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 114.63%. EOSE’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 83.06%
2022 137.77%
2023 128.35%
2024 106.50%
2025 109.59%
EOSE’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
-11.27%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what EOSE
volatility and performance will be in the future. EOSE’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for EOSE is $19.86 on November
10, 2025 and the 52-week low stock price for EOSE is $3.69, which
occurred on June 4, 2025. EOSE’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
EOSE will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in EOSE, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if EOSE subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if EOSE does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with EOSE and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction
fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an
alternative security, reduce its leverage or close. In such circumstances, the
Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to the Trust and its Board
of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund will amend and/or
supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the circumstances to
include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of EOSE, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to EOSE
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of EOSE at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of EOSE at the time of purchase. If EOSE
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if EOSE declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of EOSE.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
EOSE and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to EOSE is impacted by EOSE’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to EOSE at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to EOSE
increases on days when EOSE is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) EOSE. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with EOSE. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to EOSE. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of EOSE. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
EOSE and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Eos
Energy Enterprises, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or
any affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and
has no obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that
might affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are
not responsible for the performance of Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. and make no
representation as to the performance of EOSE. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in EOSE. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to EOSE.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
EOSE
Investing Risk. . Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. In addition to the risks associated generally with investments
in equity securities, EOSE faces risks unique to its operations, including
manufacturing scale-up challenges, customer adoption risk, reliance on
government programs, supply chain constraints, and execution risk. EOSE common
stock may be volatile. EOSE’s strategy may evolve.
Industrials
Sector Risk. The
Fund’s assets will be concentrated in the industrials sector, which means the
Fund will be more affected by the performance of the industrials sector than a
fund that is more diversified. Industrial companies are affected by supply and
demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector
products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and
economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for
environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the
performance of these companies. Aerospace and defense companies, a component of
the industrials sector, can be significantly affected by government spending
policies because companies involved in this industry rely, to a significant
extent, on U.S. and foreign government demand for their products and
services. Thus, the financial condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace
and defense companies are heavily influenced by governmental defense spending
policies which are typically under pressure from efforts to control the
U.S. (and other) government budgets. Transportation securities, a component
of the industrials sector, are cyclical and have occasional sharp price
movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor
agreements and insurance costs.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Eos Energy Enterprises,
Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments
that provide exposure to the industry to which Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. is
assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more
risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the
date of this prospectus, EOSE is assigned to the electrical equipment and parts
industry.
•Electrical
Equipment and Parts Industry Risk. The
electrical equipment and parts industry is exposed to risks arising from
cyclical demand, reliance on global supply chains, and sensitivity to raw
material and energy costs. Businesses in this sector face competitive pressures,
rapid technological change, and the need for continuous innovation to meet
evolving efficiency, safety, and sustainability standards. Regulatory
requirements related to product safety, environmental compliance, and energy
usage may increase costs or restrict certain markets. Supply chain disruptions,
shortages of key components, and reliance on specialized labor can also affect
production and delivery capabilities. In addition, fluctuations in construction
activity, industrial investment, and overall economic conditions directly
influence demand. These factors collectively may materially impact the
performance and profitability of companies in the
industry.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Small-Capitalization
Company Risk. Small-capitalization
companies generally have more limited financial and managerial resources, less
diversified business operations, and smaller market shares than larger
companies. As a result, they may be more vulnerable to adverse business or
economic developments, and their securities may be subject to greater price
fluctuations and lower trading volumes. Small-cap companies may also be less
able to obtain financing on favorable terms or to withstand competitive and
economic pressures, which could negatively impact their performance and
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with EOSE. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that EOSE value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the EOSE. Under
such circumstances, the market for EOSE may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of EOSE and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for EOSE and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of EOSE and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with EOSE and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or EOSE experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange,
Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of EOSE does not provide leveraged exposure to EOSE and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of EOSE to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected
in
cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities. Individual
shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities exchange through
a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of the Fund
throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The Fund’s shares
are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG GLXY
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long GLXY Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GLXY)
(“GLXY”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter
than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of GLXY
for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day
will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period,
which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of GLXY for that period.
Longer holding periods, higher volatility of GLXY and leverage increase the
impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher GLXY
volatility, the volatility of GLXY may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or
more than, the return of GLXY.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if GLXY’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if GLXY’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
GLXY falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of GLXY. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From August 8, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
GLXY on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on GLXY or by investing directly
in the common stock of GLXY. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
GLXY common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of GLXY are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in GLXY that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(GLXY) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain GLXY exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which GLXY is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which GLXY is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, GLXY is assigned to the financial services sector and the capital
markets industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of GLXY. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to GLXY is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.
The impact of GLXY’s price movements during the day will affect whether the
Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of GLXY has
risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the
Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of GLXY has
fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s
exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in
high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold
money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (GLXY)
Galaxy
Digital Holdings Ltd.
engages
in the digital asset and blockchain businesses providing various financial
products and services to individuals and institutions, such as digital asset
trading, derivatives, structured products, financing, capital markets, and
merger and acquisition services, digital asset spot and derivatives trading,
bespoke lending and structured products. As of March 31, 2026, the
market capitalization of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. is approximately $7.22
billion. GLXY is registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”). Information provided to or filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.
pursuant to the Securities Act can be located by reference to the
Securities and Exchange Commission file number 333-262378 through the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In
addition, information regarding Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. may be
obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. from the publicly available documents described
above. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has
participated in the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust,
the Adviser nor any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly
available documents or any other publicly available information regarding Galaxy
Digital Holdings Ltd.is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give
any assurance that all events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus
(including events that would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly
available documents described above) that would affect the trading price of GLXY
have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the
disclosure of, or failure to disclose, material future events concerning Galaxy
Digital Holdings Ltd. could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with
respect to GLXY and therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of GLXY’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GLXY
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how GLXY volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) GLXY volatility; b) GLXY performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to GLXY. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of GLXY volatility and GLXY performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to GLXY; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of GLXY.
During
periods of higher GLXY volatility, the volatility of GLXY may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of GLXY. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GLXY during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if GLXY
provided no return over a one-year period during which GLXY experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if GLXY’s return is
flat. For
instance, if GLXY’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of GLXY and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of GLXY. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

GLXY’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 99.19%. GLXY’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 121.34%
2022 114.88%
2023 79.78%
2024 85.30%
2025 87.04%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
GLXY’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
21.09%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what GLXY
volatility and performance will be in the future. GLXY’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for GLXY is $45.92 on October
21, 2025 and the 52-week low stock price for GLXY is $10.75, which
occurred on April 21, 2025. GLXY’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
GLXY will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in GLXY, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if GLXY subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if GLXY does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with GLXY and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be
adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or
discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares
could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its
transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to
track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close. In such
circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to the
Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund
will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the
circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other
recognized
pricing methods. As the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may
enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of GLXY, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to GLXY
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of GLXY at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of GLXY at the time of purchase. If GLXY
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if GLXY declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of GLXY.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
GLXY and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to GLXY is impacted by GLXY’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to GLXY at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to GLXY
increases on days when GLXY is volatile near the
close
of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high
volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to
the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) GLXY. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with GLXY. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to GLXY. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of GLXY. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
GLXY and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Galaxy
Digital Holdings Ltd.is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. and make no
representation as to the performance of GLXY. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in GLXY. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to GLXY.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
GLXY
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, GLXY faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of GLXY common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of GLXY’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
GLXY is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Financials
Sector Risk. Financial
services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation which may
limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they
can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their
activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must
maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of
capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due
to increased competition. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an
unusually high
degree
of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause
certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of
financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when
such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their
assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity
securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial
difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment
activities can negatively impact the sector. Adverse economic, business or
political developments affecting real estate could have a major effect on the
value of real estate securities (which include REITs). Declining real estate
values could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance
or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the
value of real estate.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Galaxy Digital Holdings
Ltd.is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments
that provide exposure to the industry to which Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd.is
assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more
risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the
date of this prospectus, GLXY is assigned to the capital markets
industry.
•Capital
Markets Risk. The
capital markets industry includes companies that facilitate the issuance,
buying, and selling of financial securities and other investments, such as
broker-dealers, investment banks, asset managers, securities exchanges, and
financial data providers. These companies may be adversely affected by market
volatility, reduced trading activity, changes in interest rates, or a decline in
the value of assets under management. Their profitability can be sensitive to
economic and market conditions, regulatory changes, competition, and
technological disruption. In addition, capital markets companies are subject to
operational risks, including settlement failures, cybersecurity incidents, and
compliance costs. Adverse developments in the capital markets sector could
negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments in such
companies.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mid-Capitalization Company
Risk. Mid-capitalization
companies may have limited financial resources, narrower product lines, and less
diversified markets than larger, more established companies. While mid-cap
companies often have greater growth potential than large-cap firms, they may
also be more sensitive to changing market conditions, competitive pressures, and
economic downturns. Their securities may experience greater price volatility and
may be less liquid than those of large-cap companies, which could affect their
market value and investment returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with GLXY. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that GLXY value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the GLXY. Under
such circumstances, the market for GLXY may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions
could exacerbate the price changes of GLXY and may impact the ability of
the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for GLXY and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of GLXY and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with GLXY and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or GLXY experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of GLXY does not provide leveraged exposure to GLXY and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of GLXY to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG GME DAILY
TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long GME Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. As a
result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME) (“GME”). The return
for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day
should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of GME for the period. The
return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of
each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of GME for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of GME and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher GME volatility, the volatility of
GME may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of GME.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if GME’s performance is flat, and it
is possible that the Fund will lose money even if GME’s performance increases
over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full
principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of GME
falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of GME. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your
investment has a five percent (5%) return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From April 24, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
GME on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on GME or by investing directly
in the common stock of GME. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
GME common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of GME are typically less efficient than the use of swap agreements
because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in GME that is equal, on
a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(GME) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain GME exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which GME is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which GME is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, GME is assigned to the consumer discretionary sector and the
specialty retail industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of GME. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to GME is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of GME’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of GME has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
GME has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the
Fund
is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with
high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt
instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high
quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities
and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about GameStop Corp. (GME)
GameStop
Corp. is an American video game, consumer electronics, and gaming merchandise
retailer. It also sells various related services. As of April 2, 2026, the
market capitalization of GameStop Corp. is approximately $10.4 billion. GME
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by GameStop Corp. pursuant to the Exchange Act can
be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 1-32637 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding GameStop Corp.
may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
GameStop Corp. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither
the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding GameStop Corp. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of GME have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning GameStop Corp. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to GME and therefore the
value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of GME’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GME
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how GME volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) GME volatility; b) GME performance; c) period of time; d) financing
rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect to GME. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of GME volatility and GME performance over a one-year period. Performance shown
in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to GME; (ii)
there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending
rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of
GME.
During
periods of higher GME volatility, the volatility of GME may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of GME. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of GME during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if GME
provided no return over a one-year period during which GME experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if GME’s return is
flat. For
instance, if GME’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of GME and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of GME. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
GME’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
33.62%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what GME
volatility and performance will be in the future. The price of GME’s common
stock has been extremely volatile relative to the market and may continue to be
volatile due to numerous circumstances.
The
market price of GME’s common stock has fluctuated, and may continue to
fluctuate, widely, due to many factors, some of which may be beyond GME’s
control. These factors include, without limitation: large stockholders exiting
their position in common stock or an increase or decrease in the short interest
in common stock; actual or anticipated fluctuations in GME’s financial and
operating results; the timing and allocations of new product releases including
new console launches; the costs associated with the exit of unprofitable
markets, businesses or stores; negative public perception of GME, GME’s
competitors or industry; and overall general market fluctuations.
Stock
markets in general and GME’s stock price in particular have experienced extreme
price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate
to the operating performance of those companies and GME. These broad market
fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of GME’s common stock. By
way of example, currently, the 52-week high stock price
for GME is $35.81 on May 28, 2025 and the 52-week low stock
price for GME is $19.93, which occurred on November 20, 2025. GME’s 52-week high
and low stock price may change significantly over a short period of time. In
particular, a large proportion of GME’s common stock has been and may continue
to be traded by short sellers which has put and may continue to put pressure on
the supply and demand for GME’s common stock, further influencing volatility in
its market price. These and other external factors have caused and may continue
to cause the market price and demand for GME’s common stock to fluctuate
substantially.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
GME will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced
by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in GME, not including the
costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further
reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its
net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%. This would
result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if GME
subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of
its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if GME
does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying
any differences in the Fund’s correlation with GME and may increase the
volatility of the Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s
name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of GME, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to GME that
is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The
Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of GME at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of GME at the time of purchase. If GME gains
value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if GME declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same
amount
as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares intra-day may
experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the Fund’s stated
multiple of GME.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
GME and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to GME is impacted by GME’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to GME at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to GME
increases on days when GME is volatile near the close of the trading day. Market
disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) GME. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in
order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with GME. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to GME. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of GME. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
GME and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. GameStop
Corp. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of GameStop Corp. and make no representation as to the performance
of GME. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in GME. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
GME.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
Consumer
Discretionary Sector Risk.
Because companies in the consumer discretionary sector manufacture products and
provide discretionary services directly to the consumer, the success of these
companies is tied closely to the performance of the overall domestic and
international economy, including the functioning of the global supply chain,
interest rates, competition, and consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on
disposable household income and
consumer
spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns.
Also, companies in the consumer discretionary sector may be subject to severe
competition, which may have an adverse impact on a company’s profitability.
Changes in demographics and consumer tastes also can affect the demand for, and
success of, consumer discretionary products in the
marketplace.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which GameStop Corp. is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which GameStop Corp. is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, GME is assigned to the specialty retail industry.
•Video
Gaming and eSports Companies Risk. The
Fund will be sensitive to, and its performance may depend to a greater extent
on, the overall condition of video gaming and eSports companies. Video gaming
and eSports companies face intense competition, both domestically and
internationally, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel, may have products that face rapid obsolescence, and are heavily
dependent on the protection of patent and intellectual property rights. Video
gaming companies may be dependent on one or a small number of product or product
franchises for a significant portion of their revenue and profits. They may also
be subject to shifting consumer preferences, including preferences with respect
to gaming console platforms, and changes in consumer discretionary spending.
Such factors may adversely affect the profitability and value of video gaming
and eSports companies. Video gaming companies are also subject to increasing
regulatory constraints, particularly with respect to cybersecurity and privacy,
and may be subject to sophisticated intellectual property infringement schemes
and piracy efforts. Video gaming and eSports companies may have significant
exposure to the following industries, and therefore may be subject to the risks
associated with such industries.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with GME. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that GME value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the GME. Under
such circumstances, the market for GME may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades.
Therefore,
the Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securities or financial
instruments and the Fund's transactions could exacerbate the price changes
of GME and may impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
In
certain cases, the market for GME and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty
transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts.
Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in
the price of GME and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with GME and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or GME experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange,
Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of GME does not provide leveraged exposure to GME and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of GME to a greater extent, the
Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s websithares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG HOOD
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long HOOD Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOD) (“HOOD”).
The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a
trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of HOOD for the
period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be
the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will
very likely differ from 200% of the return of HOOD for that period. Longer
holding periods, higher volatility of HOOD and leverage increase the impact of
compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher HOOD volatility,
the volatility of HOOD may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than,
the return of HOOD.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if HOOD’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if HOOD’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
HOOD falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of HOOD. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

the Investment Advisory Agreement, Tuttle Capital Management LLC (the
“Adviser”), at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Fund, pays all
of the expenses of the Fund, excluding the advisory fees, interest expenses,
taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other
portfolio transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions
effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including
interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s
business.
(2)The
cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the
operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your
investment has a five percent (5%) return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions
your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From January 31, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
HOOD on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on HOOD or by investing directly
in the common stock of HOOD. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
HOOD common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of HOOD are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in HOOD that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. If the Adviser determines to use
call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call options, including
“FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(HOOD) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain HOOD exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which HOOD is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which HOOD is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, HOOD is assigned to the financial sector and capital markets
industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of HOOD. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to HOOD is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of HOOD’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of HOOD has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
HOOD has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-
day
basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Robinhood Markets Inc. (HOOD)
Robinhood
Markets Inc. is a financial services platform that facilitates the purchase and
sale of options, cryptocurrencies, and equities. It also sells various related
services. As of April 6, 2026, the market capitalization of Robinhood
Markets, Inc. is approximately $63.3 billion. HOOD is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Information provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Robinhood Markets Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can be
located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-40691 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
websitw.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding Robinhood Markets Inc.
may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Robinhood Markets Inc. from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding Robinhood Markets Inc. is
accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all
events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of HOOD have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Robinhood Markets Inc.
could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to HOOD and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of HOOD’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of HOOD
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how HOOD volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) HOOD volatility; b) HOOD performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to HOOD. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of HOOD volatility and HOOD performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to HOOD; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of HOOD.
During
periods of higher HOOD volatility, the volatility of HOOD may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of HOOD. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of HOOD during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if HOOD
provided no return over a one-year period during which HOOD experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if HOOD’s return is
flat. For
instance, if HOOD’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of HOOD and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of HOOD. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

volatility and performance will be in the future.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
HOOD will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in HOOD, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if HOOD subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if HOOD does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with HOOD and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change
its investment objective by, for example,
seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or
close. In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with
counsel to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be
necessary, the Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the circumstances to include appropriate
disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of HOOD, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to HOOD
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of HOOD at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of HOOD at the time of purchase. If HOOD
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if HOOD declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of HOOD.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
HOOD and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to HOOD is impacted by HOOD’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to HOOD at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to HOOD
increases on days when HOOD is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) HOOD. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with HOOD. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to HOOD. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of HOOD. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
HOOD and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Robinhood
Markets Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Robinhood Markets Inc. and make no
representation as to the performance of HOOD. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in HOOD. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to HOOD.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
Financials
Sector Risk. Performance of companies in the financial sector may be materially
impacted by many factors, including but not limited to, government regulations,
economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates and
decreased liquidity in credit markets. Profitability of these companies is
largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate
significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial
difficulties of borrowers also can negatively impact the sector. These companies
are also subject to substantial government regulation and intervention, which
may adversely impact the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge,
the amount of capital they must maintain, and potentially, their size.
Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse
consequences for financial companies, including effects that are not intended by
such regulation. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, or recent or
future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or of
the financial sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. The financials sector is
also a target for cyber-attacks and may experience technology malfunctions and
disruptions, which have occurred more frequently in recent
years.
Capital
Markets Industry Risk. Capital
Markets companies may be significantly affected by stock and bank trading
activity, changes in governmental regulation, continuing increases in price
competition, decreases in fees or fee-related business, including investment
banking, brokerage, asset management and other servicing fees, fluctuation in
interest rates and other factors which could adversely affect financial
markets.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Robinhood Markets Inc.
is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which Robinhood Markets Inc. is
assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more
risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the
date of this prospectus, HOOD is assigned to the capital markets
industry.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with HOOD. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that HOOD value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the HOOD. Under
such circumstances, the market for HOOD may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of HOOD and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for HOOD and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of HOOD and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with HOOD and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or HOOD experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund
may
close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and incur significant
losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of HOOD does not provide leveraged exposure to HOOD and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of HOOD to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results
and
an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate
regularly making small investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information
regarding
the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask
spreads, is available on the Fund’s websithares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG KTOS
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long KTOS Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: KTOS) (“KTOS”). The return for investors that invest for periods longer
or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the
performance of KTOS for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer
than a trading day will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return
over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% of the return of KTOS
for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of KTOS and leverage
increase the impact of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of
higher KTOS volatility, the volatility of KTOS may affect the Fund’s return as
much as, or more than, the return of KTOS.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if KTOS’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if KTOS’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
KTOS falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of KTOS. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 16, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
KTOS on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on KTOS or by investing directly
in the common stock of KTOS. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
KTOS common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of KTOS are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in KTOS that is equal,
on a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(KTOS) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain KTOS exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which KTOS is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which KTOS is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, KTOS is assigned to the industrials sector and the aerospace &
defense industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of KTOS. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to KTOS is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of KTOS’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of KTOS has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
KTOS has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (KTOS)
Kratos
Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. is an American technology
company with manufacturing concentrations in weapons and military electronics.
As of April 2, 2026, the market capitalization of Kratos Defense & Security
Solutions, Inc. is approximately $12.5 billion. KTOS is registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Information provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission by Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. pursuant to the
Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange
Commission file number 1-34460 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. may be obtained
from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. from the publicly available
documents described above. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate has participated in the preparation of such documents. Neither the
Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate makes any representation that
such publicly available documents or any other publicly available information
regarding Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. is accurate or complete.
Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior
to the date of the prospectus (including events that would affect the accuracy
or completeness of the publicly available documents described above) that would
affect the trading price of KTOS have been publicly disclosed. Subsequent
disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or failure to disclose,
material future events concerning Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc.
could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to KTOS and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of KTOS’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of KTOS
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how KTOS volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) KTOS volatility; b) KTOS performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to KTOS. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of KTOS volatility and KTOS performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to KTOS; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of KTOS.
During
periods of higher KTOS volatility, the volatility of KTOS may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of KTOS. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of KTOS during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if KTOS
provided no return over a one-year period during which KTOS experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if KTOS’s return is
flat. For
instance, if KTOS’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of KTOS and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected

KTOS’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 48.06%. KTOS’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 43.06%
2022 54.70%
2023 41.86%
2024 41.05%
2025 56.80%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
KTOS’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
22.56%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what KTOS
volatility and performance will be in the future. KTOS’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for KTOS is $134.00 on January
20, 2026 and the 52-week low stock price for KTOS is $31.48, which
occurred on April 21, 2025. KTOS’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
KTOS will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in KTOS, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if KTOS subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if KTOS does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with KTOS and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be
adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or
discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares
could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its
transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to
track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close. In such
circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to the
Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund
will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the
circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other
recognized
pricing methods. As the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may
enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of KTOS, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to KTOS
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of KTOS at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of KTOS at the time of purchase. If KTOS
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if KTOS declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of KTOS.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
KTOS and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to KTOS is impacted by KTOS’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to KTOS at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to KTOS
increases on days when KTOS is volatile near the
close
of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high
volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to
the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) KTOS. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with KTOS. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to KTOS. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of KTOS. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
KTOS and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Kratos
Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust,
the Adviser, or any affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in
any way, and has no obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate
actions that might affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any
affiliate are not responsible for the performance of Kratos Defense &
Security Solutions, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance of
KTOS. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in KTOS. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
KTOS.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
KTOS
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, KTOS faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of KTOS common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of KTOS’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
KTOS is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Industrials
Sector Risk. The
Fund’s assets will be concentrated in the industrials sector, which means the
Fund will be more affected by the performance of the industrials sector than a
fund that is more diversified. Industrial companies are affected by supply and
demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector
products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and
economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for
environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the
performance of these companies.
Aerospace
and defense companies, a component of the industrials sector, can be
significantly affected by government spending policies because companies
involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on U.S. and
foreign government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial
condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are
heavily influenced by governmental defense spending policies which are typically
under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. (and other) government
budgets. Transportation securities, a component of the industrials sector, are
cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes
in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance
costs.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Kratos Defense &
Security Solutions, Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total
assets in investments that provide exposure to the industry to which Kratos
Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. is assigned). A portfolio concentrated in
a particular industry may present more risks than a portfolio broadly
diversified over several industries. As of the date of this prospectus, KTOS is
assigned to the aerospace & defense industry.
•Aerospace
and Defense Industry Risk. The
aerospace and defense industry may be significantly affected by changes in
government regulations and spending policies, changes in economic conditions and
industry consolidation.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with KTOS. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that KTOS value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the KTOS. Under
such circumstances, the market for KTOS may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of KTOS and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for KTOS and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts.
Further,
the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in the price
of KTOS and correlated derivative instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with KTOS and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or KTOS experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange,
Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of KTOS does not provide leveraged exposure to KTOS and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of KTOS to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation Risk.
The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as
Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of
market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent
either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to
NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become
unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step
forward to
perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity
providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities
and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History

Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s websithares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG MICROSOFT
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long Microsoft Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) (“MSFT”). The
return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading
day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of MSFT for the period.
The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result
of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of MSFT for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of MSFT and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher MSFT volatility, the volatility of
MSFT may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of MSFT.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if MSFT’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if MSFT’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
MSFT falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of MSFT. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

(1)Under
the Investment Advisory Agreement, Tuttle Capital Management LLC (the
“Adviser”), at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Fund, pays all
of the expenses of the Fund, excluding the advisory fees, interest expenses,
taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and any other
portfolio transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions
effected on behalf of the Fund, credit facility fees and expenses, including
interest expenses, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other
extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s

(2)The
cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the
operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your
investment has a five percent (5%) return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions
your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys
and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not
reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s
performance. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s portfolio
turnover rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
MSFT on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on MSFT or by investing directly
in the common stock of MSFT. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
MSFT common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of MSFT are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in MSFT that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(MSFT) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain MSFT exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which MSFT is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which MSFT is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, MSFT is assigned to the technology sector and the computer software
industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of MSFT. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to MSFT is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of MSFT’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of MSFT has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
MSFT has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day
basis,
the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)
Microsoft
Corp. develops, licenses, and supports software, services, devices, and
solutions worldwide. As of April 2026, the market capitalization of Microsoft
Corporation is approximately $2.76 trillion. MSFT is registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information
provided to or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Microsoft
Corp. pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities
and Exchange Commission file number 001-37845 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding
Microsoft Corp. may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited
to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated
documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Microsoft Corp. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither
the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Microsoft Corp. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of MSFT have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Microsoft Corp. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to MSFT and therefore
the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of MSFT’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all
investments,
but has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of MSFT
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how MSFT volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) MSFT volatility; b) MSFT performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to MSFT. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of MSFT volatility and MSFT performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to MSFT; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of MSFT.
During
periods of higher MSFT volatility, the volatility of MSFT may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of MSFT. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of MSFT during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if MSFT
provided no return over a one-year period during which MSFT experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if MSFT’s return is
flat. For
instance, if MSFT’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of MSFT and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of MSFT. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk” below.

volatility and performance will be in the future.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
MSFT will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in MSFT, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if MSFT subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if MSFT does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with MSFT and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be adversely affected.
As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or discount to their net
asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares could widen.
Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its transaction fee, change
its investment objective by, for example, seeking to track an alternative
security, reduce its leverage or close.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or
differentials
in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment
objective.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of MSFT, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to MSFT
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of MSFT at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of MSFT at the time of purchase. If MSFT
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if MSFT declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of MSFT.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
MSFT and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to MSFT is impacted by MSFT’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to MSFT at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to MSFT
increases on days when MSFT is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) MSFT. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with MSFT. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to MSFT. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of MSFT. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
MSFT and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Microsoft
Corp.is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Microsoft Corp. and make no representation as to the performance
of MSFT. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to
investing
in MSFT. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive
dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to
MSFT.
Microsoft
Corp. Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of
security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. As of the date of this
prospectus, in addition to the risks associated with companies in the technology
sector, Microsoft Corp. faces risks associated with competition in the
technology sector and among platform-based ecosystems, including its cloud-based
services; the evolution of its business, including the development of its new
products and acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances;
cybersecurity, data privacy and platform abuses; operations, including excessive
outages, data losses or disruptions of online services; quality or supply
problems; legal, regulatory and litigation risks; and the ability to attract and
retain talented employees.
Technology
Sector Risk.
The
market prices of technology related securities tend to exhibit a greater degree
of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types of securities.
These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may
cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology securities
may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology,
general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited
product lines, markets, financial resources, or personnel. Technology companies
may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and
competition for qualified personnel. These companies are also heavily dependent
on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may
adversely impact a company’s profitability. A small number of companies
represent a large portion of the technology industry. In addition, a rising
interest rate environment tends to negatively affect technology companies, those
technology companies seeking to finance expansion would have increased borrowing
costs, which may negatively impact earnings. Technology companies having high
market valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp
decreases in their market prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk.
The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Microsoft Corporation is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which Microsoft Corp. is assigned).
A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries.
•Computer
Software Industry Risk.
Computer software companies can be significantly affected by competitive
pressures, aggressive pricing, technological developments, changing domestic
demand, the ability to attract and retain skilled employees and availability and
price of components. The market for products produced by computer software
companies is characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product
obsolescence, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent
new product introductions. The success of computer software companies depends in
substantial part on the timely and successful introduction of new products and
the ability to service such products. An unexpected change in one or more of the
technologies affecting an issuer’s products or in the market for products based
on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on a
participant’s operating results.
Many
computer software companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary
rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by computer software companies to protect their proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that
competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to such companies’
technology.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk.
When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment
in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in
interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by
the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer
maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest
rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the
debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may exercise its right to repay
principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the Fund later than expected), and
prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the
amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a
particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the Fund’s share price and
total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of
investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mega-Capitalization
Company Risk. Investments
in mega-capitalization companies may involve certain risks. Although mega-cap
companies are typically well-established and may have substantial financial
resources, broad product lines, and diversified operations, they may be less
able to respond quickly to changes in market conditions, technological
developments, or shifts in consumer preferences. As a result, such companies may
experience slower growth rates compared to smaller or mid-sized
companies.
In
addition, mega-cap companies may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny, as
well as heightened exposure to global economic, political, and geopolitical
risks due to their multinational operations. Their size and market prominence
may make it more difficult to achieve significant growth, particularly during
periods of economic expansion. While securities of mega-cap companies may be
less volatile than those of smaller companies, they may underperform other
segments of the market, which could adversely affect the Fund’s investment
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with MSFT. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that MSFT value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the MSFT. Under
such circumstances, the market for MSFT may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of MSFT and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for MSFT and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of MSFT and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with MSFT and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or MSFT experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX and incur
significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock
of
MSFT does not provide leveraged exposure to MSFT and, as a result, if the Fund
invests directly in common stock of MSFT to a greater extent, the Fund may not
achieve its 200% daily investment objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.
As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at
market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will
approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares
is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility.
This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG RBLX
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long RBLX Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX) (“RBLX”). The return
for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day
should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of RBLX for the period. The
return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of
each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of RBLX for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of RBLX and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher RBLX volatility, the volatility of
RBLX may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of RBLX.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if RBLX’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if RBLX’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
RBLX falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of RBLX. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your
investment has a five percent (5%) return
each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From March 4, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
RBLX on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on RBLX or by investing directly
in the common stock of RBLX. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
RBLX common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of RBLX are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in RBLX that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. If the Adviser determines to use
call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call options, including
“FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. Flexible
Exchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(RBLX) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain RBLX exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which RBLX is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which RBLX is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, RBLX is assigned to the communication services sector and the
entertainment industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of RBLX. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to RBLX is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of RBLX’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of RBLX has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
RBLX has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the
Fund
is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with
high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt
instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high
quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities
and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.

not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Roblox Corp. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither the
Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Roblox Corp. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of RBLX have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Roblox Corp. could affect
the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to RBLX and therefore the value
of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of RBLX’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of RBLX
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how RBLX volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) RBLX volatility; b) RBLX performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to RBLX. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of RBLX volatility and RBLX performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to RBLX; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of RBLX.
During
periods of higher RBLX volatility, the volatility of RBLX may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of RBLX. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of RBLX during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if RBLX
provided no return over a one-year period during which RBLX experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if RBLX’s return is
flat. For
instance, if RBLX’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of RBLX and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of RBLX. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

RBLX’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 74.24%. RBLX’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 103.01%
2022 96.06%
2023 61.56%
2024 49.23%
2025 48.81%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
RBLX’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
12.99%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what RBLX
volatility and performance will be in the future. The public trading price of
RBLX’s common stock is volatile compared to the market. The public trading price
of RBLX’s common stock has been volatile, similar to other newly public
companies that have historically experienced highly volatile trading prices. The
public trading price of RBLX’s common stock may fluctuate in response to various
factors. By way of example, currently RBLX’s 52-week high stock price
was $150.59 on July 31, 2025, and its 52-week low stock price was $51.23 on
March 30, 2026. RBLX’s 52-week high and low stock price may change significantly
over a short period of time.
Factors
that could cause fluctuations in the public trading price of RBLX’s common stock
include the following: sales or expectations with respect to sales of shares of
RBLX’s common stock by shareholders; price and volume fluctuations in the
overall stock market from time to time; volatility in the trading prices and
trading volumes of technology stocks; changes in operating performance and stock
market valuations of other technology companies generally, or those in our
industry in particular; failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of
RBLX, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts who follow RBLX or
our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
announcements by RBLX or our competitors of new services or platform features;
the public’s reaction to press releases, other public announcements, and filings
with the SEC; rumors and market speculation involving RBLX’s or other companies
in our industry; actual or anticipated changes in RBLX’s results of operations
or fluctuations in RBLX’s results of operations; actual or anticipated
developments in RBLX’s business, competitors’ businesses, or the competitive
landscape generally; developments or disputes concerning intellectual property
or other proprietary rights; announced or completed acquisitions of businesses,
services, or technologies by RBLX’s or its competitors; any significant change
in RBLX’s management or other key personnel and general economic conditions and
slow or negative growth of RBLX’s markets.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
RBLX will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be
reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in RBLX, not
including the costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which
would further reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount
greater than its net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%.
This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even
if RBLX subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a
portion of its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even
if RBLX does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with RBLX and may increase
the volatility of the Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not
achieve
its investment objective. To the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value
at risk for an extended period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its
prospectus as promptly as feasible under the particular circumstances to include
appropriate adjustments to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s
name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of RBLX, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to RBLX
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of RBLX at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of RBLX at the time of purchase. If RBLX
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if RBLX declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of RBLX.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
RBLX and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to RBLX is impacted by RBLX’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to RBLX at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to RBLX
increases on days when RBLX is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) RBLX. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with RBLX. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to RBLX. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of RBLX. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
RBLX and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Roblox
Corp. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Roblox Corp. and make no representation as to the performance of
RBLX. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in RBLX. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
RBLX.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
Communication
Services Sector Risk. The
performance of companies in the communication services sector may be affected by
(without limitation) the following factors: industry competition, increasing
governmental regulation, the ability to keep pace with technological advancement
and scrutiny by public bodies. Technological innovations may reduce the utility
of products and services of companies in the communication services sector and
render them less competitive or obsolete over time. These companies may need to
commit substantial capital investment to deal with increasing competition and to
keep pace with technological enhancement in order to remain
competitive.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Roblox Corp. is assigned
(i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that provide
inverse exposure to the industry to which Roblox Corp. is assigned). A portfolio
concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a portfolio
broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this prospectus,
RBLX is assigned to the entertainment industry.
•Entertainment
Industry Risk. The entertainment industry is highly
competitive and relies on consumer spending and the availability of disposable
income for success. The prices of the securities of companies in the
entertainment industry may fluctuate widely due to competitive pressures, heavy
expenses incurred for research and development of products, problems related to
bringing products to market, consumer preferences and rapid obsolescence of
products. Legislative or regulatory changes and increased government supervision
also may affect companies in the entertainment
industry.
Associated
Risks of Video Game Companies. Video game companies face intense competition, both domestically and
internationally, may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel, may have products that face rapid obsolescence, and are heavily
dependent on the protection of patent and intellectual property rights. Such
factors may adversely affect the profitability and value of video game
companies. These companies also may be subject to increasing regulatory
constraints, particularly with respect to cybersecurity and privacy. In addition
to the costs of complying with such constraints, the unintended disclosure of
confidential information, whether because of an error or a cybersecurity event,
could adversely affect the reputation, profitability, and value of these
companies.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high
correlation
with RBLX. There is no assurance that a security or derivative instrument that
is deemed liquid when purchased will continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity
may cause losses for the Fund. To the extent that RBLX value increases or
decreases significantly, the Fund may be one of many market participants that
are attempting to transact in the RBLX. Under such circumstances, the market for
RBLX may lack sufficient liquidity for all market participant’' trades.
Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting in the securities or
financial instruments and the Fund's transactions could exacerbate the
price changes of RBLX and may impact the ability of the Fund to achieve its
investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for RBLX and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participant’' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of RBLX and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with RBLX and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or RBLX experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of RBLX does not provide leveraged exposure to RBLX and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of RBLX to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single
issuer
or the credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to
risks associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence
than a diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG SMR DAILY
TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long SMR Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. As a
result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) (“SMR”).
The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a
trading day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of SMR for the
period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be
the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will
very likely differ from 200% of the return of SMR for that period. Longer
holding periods, higher volatility of SMR and leverage increase the impact of
compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher SMR volatility,
the volatility of SMR may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the
return of SMR.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if SMR’s performance is flat, and it
is possible that the Fund will lose money even if SMR’s performance increases
over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full
principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of SMR
falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of SMR. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From July 25, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
SMR on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on SMR or by investing directly
in the common stock of SMR. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
SMR common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of SMR are typically less efficient than the use of swap agreements
because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in SMR that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. If the Adviser determines to use
call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call options, including
“FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. Flexible
Exchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(SMR) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain SMR exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which SMR is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which SMR is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, SMR is assigned to the industrials sector and the specialty
industrial machinery industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of SMR. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio
so
that its exposure to SMR is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. The
impact of SMR’s price movements during the day will affect whether the Fund’s
portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of SMR has risen on
a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the Fund’s
exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of SMR has fallen
on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Fund’s exposure
will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in high
portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money
market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality (investment
grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about NuScale Power Corporation (SMR)
NuScale
Power Corporation provides small modular reactor technology solutions. As
of April 2, 2026, the market capitalization of NuScale Power Corporation is
approximately $3.24 billion. SMR is registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided
to or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by NuScale
Power Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference
to the Securities and Exchange Commission file number 001-39736 through the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In
addition, information regarding NuScale Power Corporation may be obtained
from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
NuScale Power Corporation from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding NuScale Power Corporation is
accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all
events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of SMR have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning NuScale Power Corporation
could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to SMR and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties
will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the
Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged
investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment
objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day’s returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of SMR’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of SMR
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how SMR volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) SMR volatility; b) SMR performance; c) period of time; d) financing
rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect to SMR. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of SMR volatility and SMR performance over a one-year period. Performance shown
in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to SMR; (ii)
there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending
rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of
SMR.
During
periods of higher SMR volatility, the volatility of SMR may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of SMR. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of SMR during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if SMR
provided no return over a one-year period during which SMR experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if SMR’s return is
flat. For
instance, if SMR’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of SMR and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of SMR. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

SMR’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 88.73%. SMR’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 27.42%
2022 47.16%
2023 76.94%
2024 132.43%
2025 113.18%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
SMR’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
6.96%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what SMR
volatility and performance will be in the future. The market price of SMR’s
common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly. The price of SMR’s
common stock may be more volatile than the markets. Technology stocks have
historically experienced high levels of volatility. By way of example,
currently, SMR’s 52-week high stock price was $57.42 on October 16, 2025,
and its 52-week low stock price was $8.85 on April 13, 2026. SMR’s high and low
stock price may change significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
SMR will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced
by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in SMR, not including the
costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further
reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its
net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%. This would
result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if SMR
subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of
its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if SMR
does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying
any differences in the Fund’s correlation with SMR and may increase the
volatility of the Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain
options
contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be determined based on
market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As the options contracts
are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new options contracts, a
practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of SMR, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to SMR that
is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The
Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of SMR at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of SMR at the time of purchase. If SMR gains
value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if SMR declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of SMR.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
SMR and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to SMR is impacted by SMR’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to SMR at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to SMR
increases on days when SMR is volatile near the
close
of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high
volatility will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to
the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) SMR. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in
order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with SMR. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to SMR. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of SMR. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
SMR and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. NuScale
Power Corporation is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of NuScale Power Corporation and make no
representation as to the performance of SMR. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in SMR. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights
with respect to SMR.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
SMR
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, SMR faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of SMR common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of SMR’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
SMR is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Industrials
Sector Risk. The
Fund’s assets will be concentrated in the industrials sector, which means the
Fund will be more affected by the performance of the industrials sector than a
fund that is more diversified. Industrial companies are affected by supply and
demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector
products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and
economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for
environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the
performance of these companies.
Aerospace
and defense companies, a component of the industrials sector, can be
significantly affected by government spending policies because companies
involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on U.S. and
foreign government demand for their products and services. Thus, the financial
condition of, and investor interest in, aerospace and defense companies are
heavily influenced by governmental defense spending policies which are typically
under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. (and other) government
budgets. Transportation securities, a component of the industrials sector, are
cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements which may result from changes
in the economy, fuel prices, labor agreements and insurance
costs.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which NuScale Power
Corporation is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in
investments that provide exposure to the industry to which NuScale Power
Corporation is assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may
present more risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries.
As of the date of this prospectus, SMR is assigned to the specialty industrial
machinery industry.
•Specialty
Industrial Machinery Industry Risk. The
specialty industrial machinery industry is inherently sensitive to fluctuations
in global economic conditions, as demand is closely tied to capital investment
cycles across a range of end-user sectors, including automotive, aerospace,
energy, construction, and advanced manufacturing. During economic downturns,
businesses in these sectors typically reduce or defer capital expenditures,
leading to a contraction in orders for specialized machinery. This cyclicality
can result in significant revenue volatility across the industry. Additionally,
shifts in interest rates, commodity prices, or government infrastructure
spending can either accelerate or suppress demand, creating forecasting
challenges and operational risk for machinery manufacturers and
suppliers.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Mid-Capitalization Company
Risk. Mid-capitalization
companies may have limited financial resources, narrower product lines, and less
diversified markets than larger, more established companies. While mid-cap
companies often have greater growth potential than large-cap firms, they may
also be more sensitive to changing market conditions, competitive pressures, and
economic downturns. Their securities may experience greater price volatility and
may be less liquid than those of large-cap companies, which could affect their
market value and investment returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with SMR. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that SMR value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the SMR. Under
such circumstances, the market for SMR may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants’ trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions
could exacerbate the price changes of SMR and may impact the ability of the
Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for SMR and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants’ trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty
transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts.
Further, the Fund’s transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in
the price of SMR and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with SMR and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or SMR experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on
Cboe
BZX Exchange, Inc.
and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of SMR does not provide leveraged exposure to SMR and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of SMR to a greater extent, the
Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG SNOW
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long SNOW Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged
investment results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds.
As a result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW) (“SNOW”). The return
for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day
should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of SNOW for the period. The
return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of
each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of SNOW for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of SNOW and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher SNOW volatility, the volatility of
SNOW may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of SNOW.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if SNOW’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if SNOW’s performance
increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the
full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of
SNOW falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of SNOW. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From April 24, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31, 2025,
the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
SNOW on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on SNOW or by investing directly
in the common stock of SNOW. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
SNOW common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of SNOW are typically less efficient than the use of swap
agreements because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in SNOW that is equal, on a daily basis, to
200% of the value of the Fund's net assets. If the Adviser determines to use
call options, the Fund will purchase exchange traded call options, including
“FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(SNOW) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain SNOW exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which SNOW is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which SNOW is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, SNOW is assigned to the information technology sector and the IT
services industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of SNOW. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to SNOW is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of SNOW’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of SNOW has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
SNOW has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-
day
basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with
institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, and/or
short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days
and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S.
government securities and repurchase agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Snowflake Inc. (SNOW)
Snowflake
Inc. provides cloud data warehousing software. As of April 6,
2026, the market capitalization of Snowflake Inc. is approximately $63.5
billion. SNOW is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by Snowflake Inc. pursuant to the
Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange
Commission file number 001-39504 through the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding
Snowflake Inc. may be obtained from other sources including, but not
limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
Snowflake Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither
the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Snowflake Inc. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of SNOW have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Snowflake Inc. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to SNOW and therefore
the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of SNOW’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The effects of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of SNOW
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how SNOW volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) SNOW volatility; b) SNOW performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and
f) dividends or interest paid with respect to SNOW. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on
Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of
combinations of SNOW volatility and SNOW performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to SNOW; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending
rates (to obtain leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual
borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different
than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding
will cause results for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of
the performance of SNOW.
During
periods of higher SNOW volatility, the volatility of SNOW may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of SNOW. The effects of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of SNOW during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if SNOW
provided no return over a one-year period during which SNOW experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if SNOW’s return is
flat. For
instance, if SNOW’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of SNOW and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of SNOW. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

SNOW’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 59.27%. SNOW’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 53.05%
2022 79.79%
2023 54.34%
2024 55.05%
2025 49.23%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
SNOW’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
-4.86%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what SNOW
volatility and performance will be in the future. SNOW’s stock price may be
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
SNOW's 52-week high stock price was $280.67 on November 3, 2025, and its
52-week low stock price was $118.30 on April 10, 2026. SNOW’s high and low stock
price may change significantly over a short period of time.
The
market price of SNOW’s common stock has been and may continue to be highly
volatile and may fluctuate or decline substantially as a result of a variety of
factors, including: actual or anticipated fluctuations in SNOW’s financial
condition or results of operations; variance in SNOW’s actual or projected
financial performance from expectations of securities analysts; changes in the
pricing or consumption of SNOW’s platform; updates to SNOW’s projected operating
and financial results; changes in laws or regulations applicable to SNOW’s
business; announcements by SNOW or our competitors of significant business
developments, acquisitions, investments, or new offerings; rumors and market
speculation involving SNOW or other companies in the industry; changes in senior
management or key personnel; fluctuations in company valuations, particularly
valuations of high-growth or cloud companies, perceived to be comparable to
SNOW; and changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of SNOW’s
market.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”.
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
SNOW will be magnified. This
means
that an investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 2% for
every 1% daily decline in SNOW, not including the costs of financing leverage
and other operating expenses, which would further reduce its value. The Fund
could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of a
security decline of more than 50%. This would result in a total loss of a
shareholder’s investment in one day even if SNOW subsequently moves in the
opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change.
A total loss may occur in a single day even if SNOW does not lose all of its
value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the
Fund’s correlation with SNOW and may increase the volatility of the
Fund.
To the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund
are thinly traded or have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet
its investment objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask
spread of the Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund
may increase its transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for
example, seeking to track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close.
In such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel
to the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the
Fund will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under
the circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied
volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of SNOW, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to SNOW
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of SNOW at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of SNOW at the time of purchase. If SNOW
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if SNOW declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of SNOW.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
SNOW and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to SNOW is impacted by SNOW’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to SNOW at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to SNOW
increases on days when SNOW is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) SNOW. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with SNOW. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to SNOW. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of SNOW. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
SNOW and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Snowflake
Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Snowflake Inc. and make no representation as to the performance
of SNOW. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in SNOW. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
SNOW.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
Information
Technology Sector Risk. The
value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely
heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology
product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and
competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from
competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information
technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned
companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market.
Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and
intellectual
property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely affect
profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology sector may
face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition
for the services of qualified personnel.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Snowflake Inc. is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which Snowflake Inc. is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, SNOW is assigned to the information technology sector and the IT
services industry.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with SNOW. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that SNOW value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the SNOW. Under
such circumstances, the market for SNOW may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of SNOW and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for SNOW and/or Fund may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have
difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap
contracts. Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and
volatility in the price of SNOW and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption
process,
and may temporarily prevent investors from buying and selling shares of the
Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to accurately price its investments,
may fail to achieve performance that is correlated with SNOW and may incur
substantial losses. If there is a significant intra-day market event and/or SNOW
experiences a significant price increase or decrease, the Fund may not meet its
investment objective or rebalance its portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the
Fund may close to purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of regular
trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and incur significant
losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of SNOW does not provide leveraged exposure to SNOW and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of SNOW to a greater
extent, the Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

performance information for the Fund, including its current net asset value per
share, is available by calling toll-free at (833)

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 10,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges
and
you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in
the secondary market for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the
Fund’s shares are not redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the
Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask
spreads, is available on the Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X LONG TTD
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long TTD Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. As a
result, the Fund may be riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage
because the Fund’s objective is to magnify (200%) the daily performance of the
publicly-traded common stock of Trade Desk, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTD) (“TTD”). The
return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading
day should not be expected to be 200% of the performance of TTD for the period.
The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result
of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely
differ from 200% of the return of TTD for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of TTD and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher TTD volatility, the volatility of
TTD may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of TTD.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only
by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with
the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The
Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do
not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer
than a single day, the Fund will lose money if TTD’s performance is flat, and it
is possible that the Fund will lose money even if TTD’s performance increases
over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full
principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of TTD
falls by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of TTD. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

operating expenses of the referenced assets, is an indirect expense that is not
included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The
total indirect cost of investing in swaps, including the embedded cost of the
swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be
0.189% for the fiscal period ending December 31,
2026.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 17, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% exposure to the price performance of
TTD on a daily basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its
investment objective by purchasing call options on TTD or by investing directly
in the common stock of TTD. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the
Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and direct investments in
TTD common stock based upon various factors including, but not limited to,
counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral availability,
and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Direct investments in
common stock of TTD are typically less efficient than the use of swap agreements
because direct investments in common stock do not provide leveraged
returns. This may result in the Fund not achieving its 200% daily
investment objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial
institutions whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned on an investment by the Fund in TTD that is equal, on
a daily basis, to 200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use call options, the Fund will purchase exchange
traded call options, including “FLEX Options.” Call options give the holder
(i.e.,
the buyer) the right to buy an asset (or receive cash value of the asset, in
case of certain call options) and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to sell the asset (or deliver cash value of the
asset, in case of certain call options) at a certain defined price. FLexible
EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts that trade
on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize key contract
terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving price
discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange. The Fund may take delivery of the underlying security
(TTD) if it chooses to exercise a call option and either hold or sell the
security in the secondary markets.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain TTD exposure for the
Fund equal to 200% of the value of its net assets and expects to rebalance the
Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of its investment
strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which TTD is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which TTD is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, TTD is assigned to the communication services sector and the
advertising and marketing industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of TTD. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to TTD is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of TTD’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of TTD has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
TTD has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Generally,
the Fund pursues its investment objective regardless of market conditions
and does not generally take defensive positions. If the Fund’s underlying
security moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a direction adverse to
the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Trade Desk, Inc, (TTD)
Trade
Desk, Inc. is an American multinational technology company that
specializes in real-time programmatic marketing automation technologies,
products, and services, designed to personalize digital content delivery to
users. As of April 2026, the market capitalization of The Trade Desk,
Inc. is approximately $10.1 billion. TTD is registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information provided
to or filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Trade Desk,
Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can be located by reference to the
Securities and Exchange Commission file number 1-37879 through the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In
addition, information regarding Trade Desk, Inc. may be obtained
from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding Trade
Desk, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither the
Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding Trade Desk, Inc.is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of TTD have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Trade Desk, Inc. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to TTD and therefore the
value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from 200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance increases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the
Fund
and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a Fund and its
counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out all swap
transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties will
be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund
and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment
objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could
lose all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is
not a complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from 200% of TTD’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are leveraged and that rebalance
daily and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase.
The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on
the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of TTD
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how TTD volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) TTD volatility; b) TTD performance; c) period of time; d) financing
rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect to TTD. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of TTD volatility and TTD performance over a one-year period. Performance shown
in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to TTD; (ii)
there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
leveraged exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending
rates were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of
TTD.
During
periods of higher TTD volatility, the volatility of TTD may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of TTD. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of TTD during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if TTD
provided no return over a one-year period during which TTD experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if TTD’s return is
flat. For
instance, if TTD’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 63.2% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than 200% of the performance of TTD and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than 200% of the performance of TTD. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Correlation Risk”
below.

TTD’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the five-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 67.97%. TTD’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2021 70.43%
2022 87.59%
2023 56.00%
2024 42.17%
2025 74.62%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
TTD’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
-13.87%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what TTD
volatility and performance will be in the future. TTD’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for TTD is $91.45 on August 7,
2025 and the 52-week low stock price for TTD is $19.74, which occurred
on April 9, 2026. TTD’s 52-week high and low stock price may change
significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information About Investment
Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. The
Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing
leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its
investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment
in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of
TTD will be magnified. This means that an investment in the Fund will be reduced
by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% daily decline in TTD, not including the
costs of financing leverage and other operating expenses, which would further
reduce its value. The Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its
net assets in the event of a security decline of more than 50%. This would
result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in one day even if TTD
subsequently moves in the opposite direction and eliminates all or a portion of
its earlier daily change. A total loss may occur in a single day even if TTD
does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying
any differences in the Fund’s correlation with TTD and may increase the
volatility of the Fund.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Fund are thinly traded or
have a limited market, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective
due to a lack of available investments or counterparties. During such periods,
the Fund’s ability to issue additional Creation Units may be
adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could trade at a premium or
discount to their net asset value and/or the bid-ask spread of the Fund’s shares
could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its
transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking to
track an alternative security, reduce its leverage or close. In such
circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to the
Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund
will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the
circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection as exchange-traded
instruments, which may expose investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Call
Options.
The
use of call options involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by
national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied volatility
or the reference asset, and the time remaining until the expiration of the
option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values of options contracts and
the reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other
recognized
pricing methods. As the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may
enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options.
The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk.
A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged investment objective
or may decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a
limited number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% of the daily performance of TTD, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk.
If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to TTD that
is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple. The
Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks leveraged investment results from the close of the market on a
given trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day.
The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market
is a function of the difference between the value of TTD at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of TTD at the time of purchase. If TTD gains
value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if TTD declines, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of TTD.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or the securities
experience a significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment
objective, may not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may
experience significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads.
Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales of shares (“Shares”)
prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and incur significant
losses.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation to
TTD and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to TTD is impacted by TTD’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to TTD at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to TTD
increases on days when TTD is volatile near the close of the trading
day.
Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also
adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) TTD. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in
order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired
correlation with TTD. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to TTD. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of TTD. Any of these
factors could decrease the correlation between the performance of the Fund and
TTD and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily leveraged investment
objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Trade
Desk, Inc.is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of Trade Desk, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance
of TTD. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in TTD. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
TTD.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
TTD
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, TTD faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of TTD common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of TTD’S common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
TTD is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Communication
Services Sector Risk. The
performance of companies in the communication services sector may be affected by
(without limitation) the following factors: industry competition, increasing
governmental regulation, the ability to keep pace with technological advancement
and scrutiny by public bodies. Technological innovations may reduce the utility
of products and services of companies in the communication services sector and
render them less
competitive
or obsolete over time. These companies may need to commit substantial capital
investment to deal with increasing competition and to keep pace with
technological enhancement in order to remain competitive.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Trade Desk, Inc.is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide exposure to the industry to which Trade Desk, Inc.is assigned). A
portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, TTD is assigned to the advertising and marketing
industry.
•Advertising
and Marketing Industry
Risk. The
advertising and marketing industry is highly competitive and sensitive to
changes in economic conditions, client spending, and evolving media consumption
patterns. Companies in this sector face risks from fluctuations in advertising
budgets, which are often reduced during economic downturns, as well as
increasing competition from digital platforms and in-house marketing
capabilities of clients. Rapid technological change, including shifts toward
programmatic advertising, data analytics, and social media, requires continuous
investment and adaptation. In addition, regulatory requirements related to data
privacy, consumer protection, and digital tracking may limit targeting
capabilities and increase compliance costs. Dependence on key clients,
reputational risks, and the effectiveness of marketing campaigns further
contribute to revenue volatility. These factors collectively may materially
affect the performance and profitability of businesses in the advertising and
marketing industry.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk.
The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk.
Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with TTD. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that TTD value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the TTD. Under
such circumstances, the market for TTD may lack sufficient liquidity for all
market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty
transacting in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of TTD and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
In
certain cases, the market for TTD and/or Fund may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have difficulty
transacting in it and/or in correlated investments, such as swap contracts.
Further, the Fund's transactions could exacerbate illiquidity and volatility in
the price of TTD and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in the
Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt the
Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors from
buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable to
accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with TTD and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or TTD experiences a significant price increase or
decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective or rebalance its
portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to purchases and sales
of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. and
incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. The Fund’s direct investments in
common stock of TTD does not provide leveraged exposure to TTD and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of TTD to a greater extent, the
Fund may not achieve its 200% daily investment
objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
The Fund intends to effect creations and redemptions for cash rather than for
in-kind securities. As a result, the Fund may not be tax efficient and may incur
brokerage costs related to buying and selling securities to achieve its
investment objective thus incurring additional expenses than if it had effected
creations and redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset
by transaction fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such
costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset
value.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income
at the fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net
assets and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in
order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to
recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation Risk.
The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as
Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of
market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent
either of the following
events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and
possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to
process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to
perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit
the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other
entities step forward to perform their functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

performance information for the Fund, including its current net asset value per
share, is available by calling toll-free at (833)

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the

T-REX 2X INVERSE CRCL
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Inverse CRCL Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily
inverse investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The pursuit
of daily inverse investment goals means that the return of the Fund for a period
longer than a full trading day may have no resemblance to -200% of the return of
the publicly-traded common stock of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE: CRCL)
("CRCL"). This means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a
trading day will be the result of each single day’s compounded return over the
period, which will very likely differ from -200% of the return of CRCL for that
period. Longer holding periods and higher volatility of CRCL increase the impact
of compounding on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility,
the volatility of CRCL may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than,
the return of CRCL. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods
longer or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be -200% of the
performance of CRCL for the period.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized
only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of
seeking daily inverse (-2X) investment results, understand the risks associated
with the use of shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently.
The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors
who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods
longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if CRCL’s performance is
flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if CRCL’s
performance decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could
lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the
price of CRCL goes up by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of
the
inverse (or opposite)
of the daily performance of CRCL. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 26, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% inverse (opposite) exposure to the
price performance of CRCL on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing put options on CRCL or by
engaging in short sales of the common stock of CRCL. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, put options and
short sales of CRCL common stock based upon various factors including, but not
limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral
availability, and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Short
sales of the common stock of CRCL are typically less efficient than the use of
swap agreements because short sales do not provide leveraged returns. This
may result in the Fund not achieving its -200% daily investment
objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in CRCL that is equal, on a daily basis, to
-200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use put options,
the
Fund will purchase exchange traded put options, including “FLEX Options,” with
CRCL as the reference security. Put options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to sell an asset and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to purchase the asset at a certain defined price.
FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts
that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize
key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving
price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange.
If
the Adviser determines to engage in short sales on the common stock of CRCL, the
Fund will sell shares of CRCL that it has borrowed. When executing a short sale,
the Fund borrows the security from a third party and sells it at the then
current market price. The Fund is then obligated to buy the security on a later
date and return the security to the lender. The Fund will realize a profit if
the price of the underlying stock decreases or incur a loss if the price of the
underlying stock increases while the Fund is holding the borrowed security. The
Fund may reinvest the proceeds of its short sales.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain short CRCL exposure
for the Fund equal to -200% of the value of its net assets and expects to
rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of
its investment strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to
which CRCL is assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of
its
total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure in the industry to
which CRCL is assigned). As of the date of this prospectus, CRCL is assigned to
the financial technology sector and the capital markets industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of CRCL. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to CRCL is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of CRCL’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of CRCL has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
CRCL has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.
Information
about Circle Internet Group, Inc. (CRCL)
Circle
Internet Group, Inc. is a global financial technology firm that specializes in
digital currencies and blockchain technology. Circle Internet Group, Inc. is the
issuer of the USDC stablecoin, a cryptocurrency designed to be pegged to the
U.S. dollar., and they also provide various services and platform APIs for
payments, commerce, and other financial applications. As
of April 2, 2026, the market capitalization of Circle Internet Group, Inc. is
approximately $21.9 billion. CRCL
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Circle Internet Group, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange
Act can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange
Commission file number 001-42671 through the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information
regarding Circle Internet Group, Inc. may be obtained from other sources
including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other
publicly disseminated documents.
Fund
has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding Circle
Internet Group, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above.
Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in
the preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor
any affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or
any other publicly available information regarding Circle Internet Group, Inc.
is accurate or complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that
all events occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that
would affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of CRCL have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Circle Internet Group,
Inc. could affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to CRCL and
therefore the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from -200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance decreases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into,
transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve
its leveraged investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged
investment objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its inverse investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose
all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a
complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund. The
realization of certain of the risks described below that may result in adverse
market movements may actually benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment
objective.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods
greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded
over the period, which is very likely to differ from -200% of CRCL’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse and that rebalance daily
and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The
impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the
period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how CRCL volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) CRCL volatility; b) CRCL performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect CRCL. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of CRCL volatility and CRCL performance over a one-year period. Performance
shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect CRCL;
(ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
inverse exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates
were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -200% of the performance of
CRCL.
During
periods of higher CRCL volatility, the volatility of CRCL may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of CRCL. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRCL during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 17.1% if CRCL
provided no return over a one-year period during which CRCL experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if CRCL’s return is
flat. For
instance, if CRCL’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 95% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than -200% of the performance of CRCL and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than -200% of the performance of CRCL. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Inverse Correlation Risk”
below.

CRCL’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the one-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 252.81%. CRCL’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2025 411.67%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
CRCL’s
annualized performance for the one-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
252.81%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what CRCL
volatility and performance will be in the future. CRCL’s stock price may be more
volatile, and may fluctuate more than the market. By way of example, currently,
the 52-week high stock price for CRCL is $298.99 on June 23, 2025 and the
52-week low stock price for CRCL is $49.90, which occurred on February 5, 2026.
CRCL’s 52-week high and low stock price may change significantly over a short
period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding
Investment Techniques and Policies”, and "Leverage " in the Fund’s Statement of
Additional Information.
Derivatives
Risk. Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment
objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may also have the
effect of lowering the Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as interest rates
rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection, which may expose
investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Put
Options.
The
use of put options involves investment strategies and risks different from those
associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and
by national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of
the option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values options contracts and the
reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options. The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk. A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse investment objective or
may decide to change its inverse investment objective. The risk of a limited
number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase
significantly,
which may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. While the objective of the Fund
is to seek daily investment results, before
fees and expenses,
of -200% of the daily performance of CRCL, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk. If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to CRCL
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting
Risk.
A short position is a financial transaction in which an investor sells an
asset that the investor does not own. In such a transaction, an investor’s short
position appreciates when a reference asset falls in value. By contrast, the
short position loses value when the reference asset’s value increases. Because
historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short positions
are expected to depreciate in value. Accordingly, short positions may be riskier
and more speculative than traditional investments. In addition, any income,
dividends, or payments by reference assets in which the Fund has a short
position will impose expenses on the Fund that reduce returns.
The
Fund will obtain short exposure through the use of swap agreements,
purchased put options, and physical short sales of CRCL. To the extent that the
Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to
heightened volatility or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the
underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability
to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the
Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be
required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that
may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the reference asset
underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there
may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund to enter
into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative. To the extent
the Fund engages in physical short sales, the Fund is subject to the risk that
the price of the security will increase between the date of the short sale and
the date on which the Fund replaces the security, the Fund will experience a
loss, which is theoretically unlimited. In addition, physical short sales do not
provide -200% exposure to CRCL and, as a result, if the Fund engages in physical
short sales to a greater extent, the Fund may not achieve its -200% daily
investment objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
Unlike most ETFs, the Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions
principally for cash, rather than principally for in-kind securities, because of
the nature of the financial instruments held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund
is not expected to be tax efficient and will incur brokerage costs related to
buying and selling securities to achieve its investment objective thus incurring
additional expenses than other funds that primarily effect creations and
redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset by transaction
fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such costs, which will
decrease the Fund’s net asset value.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks investment results from the close of the market on a given
trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day. The
exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market is
a function of the difference between the value of CRCL at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of CRCL at the time of purchase. If CRCL
loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if CRCL rises, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of CRCL.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or CRCL experiences a
significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment objective, may
not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may experience
significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads. Additionally, the
Fund may close prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and experience
significant losses.
Daily
Inverse Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse
correlation to CRCL and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment
objective. The Fund’s exposure to CRCL is impacted by CRCL’s movement. Because
of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to CRCL at the
end of each day. The
possibility
of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to CRCL increases on days
when CRCL is volatile near the close of the trading day. Market disruptions,
regulatory restrictions and high volatility will also adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily inverse investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) CRCL. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired inverse
correlation with CRCL. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to CRCL. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of CRCL. Any of these
factors could decrease the inverse correlation between the performance of the
Fund and CRCL and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily inverse
investment objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. Circle
Internet Group, Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any
affiliates thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no
obligation to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might
affect the value of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not
responsible for the performance of Circle Internet Group, Inc. and make no
representation as to the performance of CRCL. Investing in the Fund is not
equivalent to investing in CRCL. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights
or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with
respect to CRCL.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
CRCL
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific
attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the
market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of
security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform
differently from the value of the market as a whole. In addition to the risks
associated generally with operating companies, CRCL faces risks unique due to
its business model. CRCL, which operates under the brand name CRCL, is a global
financial technology company that specializes in digital currencies and
blockchain technology. CRCL is best known for issuing the stablecoin USDC,
a digital currency pegged to the U.S. dollar. CRLC also provides various
financial and technology services to businesses and developers, enabling them to
integrate stablecoins and blockchain technology into their operations. CRCL
operations subjects it to the following risks:
•Interest
Rate Risk: CRCL’s revenue model heavily relies on the interest earned from
reserves that back its USDC stablecoin, which are primarily held in short-term
U.S. Treasury bills. A decline in interest rates could significantly reduce
Circle's income and impact its profitability.
•Regulatory
Uncertainty: The cryptocurrency regulatory landscape is volatile and
evolving, with varying standards across different jurisdictions. Stricter
regulations, increased oversight, or changes in how regulatory bodies interpret
and apply existing laws could hinder CRCL’s growth or pose threats to its
business model. While certain
legislative
and regulatory initiatives aim to bring more regulatory clarity, stricter
capital requirements or limits on interest income could negatively impact CRCL’s
margins.
•Competitive
Pressure: The stablecoin market is becoming increasingly competitive, with
rivals and potential entrants from traditional banks exploring stablecoin
offerings. This could erode CRCL’s market share and impact its revenue and
profitability.
•Macroeconomic
Volatility: Broad economic factors, such as shifts in interest rates or
volatility in the cryptocurrency market, can affect CRCL’s financial
performance. A pivot to lower interest rates could reduce interest income from
reserves, while a crypto bear market could shrink USDC's circulation and impact
revenue.
•Dependence
on Partnerships: While CRCL has expanded its product offerings and revenue
streams, it still relies on significant partnerships for the distribution and
adoption of USDC. If these partnerships change or end, it could impact CRCL’s
distribution costs and reserve income.
•De-pegging
Risk: While USDC is designed to be redeemable 1:1 for U.S. dollars, there
is a risk of a "de-peg," where the token could trade below $1 on third-party
platforms. This could be triggered by events like a run on a bank holding CRCL’s
assets.
•Cybersecurity
Risks: CRCL’s reliance on third-party systems and the increasing
sophistication of cyberattacks expose the company to potential security breaches
that could affect its operations, data, and
reputation.
The trading price of CRCL common stock
is likely to be volatile. Additionally, CRCL’s common stock may in the future be
traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and demand for its
common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price. CRCL is a
highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and services,
may change.
Financial
Technology Sector Risk. FinTech
companies may face competition from larger and more established firms, and a
FinTech company may not currently or in the future derive any revenue from
disruptive technologies. In addition, FinTech companies may not be able to
capitalize on their disruptive technologies if they face political and/or legal
attacks from competitors, industry groups or local and national
governments.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Circle Internet Group,
Inc. is assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments
that provide exposure to the industry to which Circle Internet Group, Inc. is
assigned). A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more
risks than a portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the
date of this prospectus, CRCL is assigned to the capital markets
industry.
•Capital
Markets Risk. The
capital markets industry includes companies that facilitate the issuance,
buying, and selling of financial securities and other investments, such as
broker-dealers, investment banks, asset managers, securities exchanges, and
financial data providers. These companies may be adversely affected by market
volatility, reduced trading activity, changes in interest rates, or a decline in
the value of assets under management. Their profitability can be sensitive to
economic and market conditions, regulatory changes, competition, and
technological disruption. In addition, capital markets companies are subject to
operational risks, including settlement failures, cybersecurity incidents, and
compliance costs. Adverse developments in the capital markets sector could
negatively impact the value of the Fund’s investments in such
companies.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk. The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit
risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository account
is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk related
to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market instruments
may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk. Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with CRCL. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that CRCL value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in CRCL. Under such
circumstances, the market for CRCL may lack sufficient liquidity for all market
participants’ trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting
in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund’s transactions could
exacerbate the price changes of CRCL and may impact the ability of the Fund to
achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in CRCL and/or Fund may
lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants’ trades. Therefore, the
Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments,
such as swap contracts. Further, the Fund’s transactions could exacerbate
illiquidity and volatility in the price of CRCL and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in
the Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt
the Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors
from buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable
to accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with CRCL and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a
significant increase or decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective
or rebalance its portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to
purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc. and incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. To the extent that the Fund
engages in short sales of the common stock of CRCL, such short sales do not
provide leveraged exposure to CRCL and, as a result, the Fund may not achieve
its -200% daily investment objective.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the
fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets
and the amount of income available for
distribution.
In addition, in order to requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be
required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and
make certain distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the
Statement of Additional Information for more
information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
T-REX 2X INVERSE CRWV
DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Inverse CRWV Daily Target ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily
inverse investment
results and is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. The pursuit
of daily inverse investment goals means that the return of the Fund for a period
longer than a full trading day may have no resemblance to -200% of the return of
the publicly-traded common stock of CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) ("CRWV").
This means that the return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day
will be the result of each single day’s compounded return over the period, which
will very likely differ from -200% of the return of CRWV for that period. Longer
holding periods and higher volatility of CRWV increase the impact of compounding
on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of
CRWV may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of CRWV.
Further, the return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than
a trading day should not be expected to be -200% of the performance of CRWV for
the period.
The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized
only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of
seeking daily inverse (-2X) investment results, understand the risks associated
with the use of shorting and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently.
The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors
who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods
longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if CRWV’s performance is
flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if CRWV’s
performance decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could
lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the
price of CRWV goes up by more than 50% in one trading day.
Investment
Objective
The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of
the
inverse (or opposite)
of the daily performance of CRWV. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that
you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or
redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.
The example also assumes that your investment has a five
percent (5%) return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The
Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
From September 26, 2025, the date operations commenced, through December 31,
2025, the end of the Fund’s initial fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover
rate was 0.00% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments that are
designed to provide, in the aggregate, 200% inverse (opposite) exposure to the
price performance of CRWV on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing put options on CRWV or by
engaging in short sales of the common stock of CRWV. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, put options and
short sales of CRWV common stock based upon various factors including, but not
limited to, counterparty capacity, financing charges, liquidity, collateral
availability, and overall market conditions for a particular instrument. Short
sales of the common stock of CRWV are typically less efficient than the use of
swap agreements because short sales do not provide leveraged returns. This
may result in the Fund not achieving its -200% daily investment
objective.
The
Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions
whereby the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return
earned on an investment by the Fund in CRWV that is equal, on a daily basis, to
-200% of the value of the Fund's net assets.
If
the Adviser determines to use put options,
the
Fund will purchase exchange traded put options, including “FLEX Options,” with
CRWV as the reference security. Put options give the holder (i.e.,
the buyer) the right to sell an asset and the seller (i.e.,
the writer) the obligation to purchase the asset at a certain defined price.
FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”) are customized options contracts
that trade on an exchange but provide investors with the ability to customize
key contract terms like strike price, style and expiration date while achieving
price discovery in competitive, transparent auctions markets and avoiding the
counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (OTC) options positions. Like
traditional exchange-traded options, FLEX Options are guaranteed for settlement
by the OCC, a market clearinghouse that guarantees performance by counterparties
to certain derivatives contracts. The FLEX Options are listed on the Chicago
Board Options Exchange.
If
the Adviser determines to engage in short sales on the common stock of CRWV, the
Fund will sell shares of CRWV that it has borrowed. When executing a short sale,
the Fund borrows the security from a third party and sells it at the then
current market price. The Fund is then obligated to buy the security on a later
date and return the security to the lender. The Fund will realize a profit if
the price of the underlying stock decreases or incur a loss if the price of the
underlying stock increases while the Fund is holding the borrowed security. The
Fund may reinvest the proceeds of its short sales.
The
Adviser attempts to consistently apply leverage to obtain short CRWV exposure
for the Fund equal to -200% of the value of its net assets and expects to
rebalance the Fund’s holdings daily to maintain such exposure. As a result of
its investment strategies, the Fund will be concentrated in the industry to
which CRWV is assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more
of
its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure in the industry to
which CRWV is assigned). As of the date of this prospectus, CRWV is assigned to
the information technology sector and the software industry.
The
Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to
overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of CRWV. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to CRWV is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of CRWV’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of CRWV has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning
that the Fund’s exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of
CRWV has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the
Fund’s exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically
results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected
to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality
(investment grade) credit ratings, and/or short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment
grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
The
terms “daily,” “day,” and “trading day,” refer to the period from the close
of the markets on one trading day to the close of the markets on the next
trading day. The Fund is “non-diversified,” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. Additionally, the Fund’s investment objective is not a
fundamental policy and may be changed by the Fund’s Board of Trustees without
shareholder approval.

CoreWeave,
Inc. operates a cloud platform that provides scaling, support, and
acceleration for GenAI. As of April 2, 2026, the market
capitalization of CoreWeave, Inc. is approximately $43.2 billion. CRWV
is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”). Information provided to or filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by CoreWeave, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act can
be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-42563 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s
website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding CoreWeave, Inc.
may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press
releases, newspaper articles and other publicly
disseminated documents.
The
Fund has derived all disclosures contained in this document regarding
CoreWeave, Inc. from the publicly available documents described above. Neither
the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any affiliate has participated in the
preparation of such documents. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor any
affiliate makes any representation that such publicly available documents or any
other publicly available information regarding CoreWeave, Inc. is accurate or
complete. Furthermore, the Fund cannot give any assurance that all events
occurring prior to the date of the prospectus (including events that would
affect the accuracy or completeness of the publicly available documents
described above) that would affect the trading price of CRWV have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning CoreWeave, Inc. could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to CRWV and therefore
the value of the Fund.
Because
of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time,
the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result
of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ
from -200% of the return of the underlying security over the same period. The
Fund will lose money if the underlying security performance is flat over time,
and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying security’s volatility and
the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money
over time while the underlying security’s performance decreases over a period
longer than a single day.
The
Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that
causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed
to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap agreement between a
Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to immediately close out
all swap transactions with the Fund. There is a risk that no suitable
counterparties
will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the
Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its leveraged
investment objective or may decide to change its leveraged investment
objective.
Principal
Risks
An
investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not
achieve its inverse investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose
all of your money invested in the Fund. The Fund is not a
complete investment program. In addition, the Fund presents risks not
traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that
investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them
before making an investment in the Fund. The
realization of certain of the risks described below that may result in adverse
market movements may actually benefit the Fund due to its inverse investment
objective.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The
Fund has a daily investment objective and the Fund’s performance for periods
greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded
over the period, which is very likely to differ from -200% of CRWV’s
performance, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on funds that are inverse and that rebalance daily
and becomes more pronounced as volatility and holding periods increase. The
impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently depending on the
period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRWV
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how CRWV volatility and its return could
affect the Fund’s performance. Fund performance for periods greater than one
single day can be estimated given any set of assumptions for the following
factors: a) CRWV volatility; b) CRWV performance; c) period of time; d)
financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund expenses; and f)
dividends or interest paid with respect CRWV. The chart below illustrates the
impact of two principal factors – volatility and performance – on Fund
performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations
of CRWV volatility and CRWV performance over a one-year period. Performance
shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect CRWV;
(ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii) borrowing/lending rates (to obtain
inverse exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates
were reflected, the estimated returns would be different than those shown.
Particularly during periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results
for periods longer than a trading day to vary from -200% of the performance of
CRWV.
During
periods of higher CRWV volatility, the volatility of CRWV may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of CRWV. The impact of compounding
will impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an
investment in the Fund is held and the volatility of CRWV during a shareholder’s
holding period of an investment in the Fund.
As
shown in the chart below, the Fund would be expected to lose 17.1% if CRWV
provided no return over a one-year period during which CRWV experienced
annualized volatility of 25%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance
of a significant loss of value in the Fund, even if CRWV’s return is
flat. For
instance, if CRWV’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected to
lose 95% of its value, even if the cumulative return for the year was
0%. Areas
shaded red (or dark gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be
expected to return less than -200% of the performance of CRWV and those shaded
green (or light gray) represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected
to return more than -200% of the performance of CRWV. The table below is not a
representation of the Fund’s actual returns, which may be significantly better
or worse than the returns shown below as a result of any of the factors
discussed above or in “Daily Inverse Correlation Risk”
below.

CRWV’s
annualized historical daily volatility rate for the one-year period ended
December 31, 2025 was 124.16%. CRWV’s annualized daily volatility rates were as
follows:
2025 124.16%
Volatility
for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher.
CRWV’s
annualized performance for the period ended December 31, 2025 was 114.23%.
The
market prices of CRWV’s common stock are subject to fluctuations due both to
factors affecting market prices for publicly traded equity securities generally
and to factors affecting CRWV’s common stock. CRWV’s stock price may be more
volatile than the market. Market prices of CRWV’s common stock have been
volatile at times in the past, and may be volatile in the future. By way of
example, currently, CRWV's 52-week high stock price was $187.00 on June 20,
2025, and its 52-week low stock price was $33.52 on April 21, 2025. CRWV’s high
and low stock price may change significantly over a short period of time.
For
information regarding the effects of volatility and performance on the
long-term performance of the Fund, see “Additional Information Regarding
Investment Techniques and Policies”, and "Leverage " in the Fund’s Statement of
Additional Information.
Derivatives
Risk. Derivatives
are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference
asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest
rates or indexes. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or small
gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those
derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment
objective.
The
Fund expects to use swap agreements to achieve its investment objective.
The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater
than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other
investments, including risk related to the market, leverage, imperfect
correlations with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings,
higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty, liquidity,
valuation, and legal restrictions. The performance of a derivative may not track
the performance of its reference asset, including due to fees and other costs
associated with it. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial
investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of
the amount initially invested. As a result, the value of an investment in the
Fund may change quickly and without warning. Additionally, any financing,
borrowing or other costs
associated
with using derivatives may also have the effect of lowering the Fund’s return.
Such costs may increase as interest rates rise.
Swap
Agreements.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection, which may expose
investors to significant losses.
The
Fund will be subject to regulatory constraints relating to the level of
value at risk that the Fund may incur through its derivatives portfolio. To the
extent the Fund exceeds these regulatory thresholds over an extended period, the
Fund may determine that it is necessary to make adjustments to the Fund’s
investment strategy and the Fund may not achieve its investment objective. To
the extent that the Fund exceeds the level of value at risk for an extended
period, the Fund may amend and/or supplement its prospectus as promptly as
feasible under the particular circumstances to include appropriate adjustments
to its investment strategy and if necessary, the Fund’s name.
Put
Options.
The
use of put options involves investment strategies and risks different from those
associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and
by national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of
the option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Fund invests are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Fund may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may
expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values options contracts and the
reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Fund may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options. The
FLEX Options held by the Fund will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset. FLEX Options are listed on an
exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid secondary trading market
will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX Options is limited or absent,
the value of the FLEX Options may decrease.
Counterparty
Risk. A
counterparty may be unwilling or unable to make timely payments to meet its
contractual obligations or may fail to return holdings that are subject to the
agreement with the counterparty. If the counterparty or its affiliate becomes
insolvent, bankrupt or defaults on its payment obligations to the Fund, the
value of an investment held by the Fund may decline. Additionally, if any
collateral posted by the counterparty for the benefit of the Fund is
insufficient or there are delays in the Fund’s ability to access such
collateral, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse investment
objective.
In
addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing
to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a
result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its inverse investment objective or
may decide to change its inverse investment objective. The risk of a limited
number of
counterparties
may be, and historically has been, particularly accentuated during times of
significant market volatility. During times of significant market volatility,
the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund utilizes may increase
significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s returns. While the
objective of the Fund is to seek daily investment results, before
fees and expenses,
of -200% of the daily performance of CRWV, it is important for investors to
understand that significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps
may negatively impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Rebalancing
Risk. If
for any reason the Fund is unable to rebalance all or a part of its
portfolio, or if all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly,
the Fund’s investment exposure may not be consistent with its investment
objective. In these instances, the Fund may have investment exposure to CRWV
that is significantly greater or significantly less than its stated multiple.
The Fund may be more exposed to leverage risk than if it had been properly
rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective, leading to
significantly greater losses or reduced gains.
Shorting
Risk.
A short position is a financial transaction in which an investor sells an
asset that the investor does not own. In such a transaction, an investor’s short
position appreciates when a reference asset falls in value. By contrast, the
short position loses value when the reference asset’s value increases. Because
historically most assets have risen in value over the long term, short positions
are expected to depreciate in value. Accordingly, short positions may be riskier
and more speculative than traditional investments. In addition, any income,
dividends, or payments by reference assets in which the Fund has a short
position will impose expenses on the Fund that reduce returns.
The
Fund will obtain short exposure through the use of swap agreements,
purchased put options, and physical short sales of CRWV. To the extent that the
Fund obtains short exposure from derivatives, the Fund may be exposed to
heightened volatility or limited liquidity related to the reference asset of the
underlying short position, which will adversely impact the Fund’s ability
to meet its investment objective or adversely impact its performance. If the
Fund were to experience this volatility or decreased liquidity, the Fund may be
required to obtain short exposure through alternative investment strategies that
may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the reference asset
underlying the short position is thinly traded or has a limited market, there
may be a lack of available securities or counterparties for the Fund to enter
into a short position or obtain short exposure from a derivative. To the extent
the Fund engages in physical short sales, the Fund is subject to the risk that
the price of the security will increase between the date of the short sale and
the date on which the Fund replaces the security, the Fund will experience a
loss, which is theoretically unlimited. In addition, physical short sales do not
provide -200% exposure to CRWV and, as a result, if the Fund engages in physical
short sales to a greater extent, the Fund may not achieve its -200% daily
investment objective.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
Unlike most ETFs, the Fund currently intends to effect creations and redemptions
principally for cash, rather than principally for in-kind securities, because of
the nature of the financial instruments held by the Fund. As a result, the Fund
is not expected to be tax efficient and will incur brokerage costs related to
buying and selling securities to achieve its investment objective thus incurring
additional expenses than other funds that primarily effect creations and
redemptions in kind. To the extent that such costs are not offset by transaction
fees paid by an authorized participant, the Fund may bear such costs, which will
decrease the Fund’s net asset value.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
The Fund seeks investment results from the close of the market on a given
trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent trading day. The
exact exposure of an investment in the Fund intraday in the secondary market is
a function of the difference between the value of CRWV at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of CRWV at the time of purchase. If CRWV
loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if CRWV rises, the Fund’s net assets will decline by the
same amount as the Fund’s exposure. Thus, an investor that purchases shares
intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or less than, the
Fund’s stated multiple of CRWV.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or CRWV experiences a
significant change in value, the Fund may not meet its investment objective, may
not be able to rebalance its portfolio appropriately, or may experience
significant premiums or discounts, or widened bid-ask spreads. Additionally, the
Fund may close prior to the close of trading on the Exchange and experience
significant losses.
Daily
Inverse Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse
correlation to CRWV and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment
objective. The Fund’s exposure to CRWV is impacted by CRWV’s movement. Because
of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to CRWV at the
end of each day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or
under-exposed to CRWV increases on days when CRWV is volatile near the close of
the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions and high volatility
will also adversely affect the Fund’s ability to adjust exposure to the required
levels.
The
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily inverse investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, accounting standards and their application to
income items, disruptions, illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the
securities or financial instruments in which the Fund invests, early and
unanticipated closings of the markets on which the holdings of the Fund trade,
resulting in the inability of the Fund to execute intended portfolio
transactions, regulatory and tax considerations, which may cause the Fund to
hold (or not to hold) CRWV. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions
in order to improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for
other reasons, each of which may negatively affect the Fund’s desired inverse
correlation with CRWV. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to CRWV. Additionally, the Fund’s underlying investments and/or
reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on the same day as
the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in the daily
performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of CRWV. Any of these
factors could decrease the inverse correlation between the performance of the
Fund and CRWV and may hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily inverse
investment objective on or around that day.
Market
Risk. The
Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or
perceived creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange
trading suspensions and closures, and public health risks. The Fund is subject
to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt markets and adversely affect
global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local, regional, or global events such
as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness
or other public health issues, conflicts and social unrest or other events could
have a significant impact on the Fund, its investments, and the Fund’s ability
to achieve its investment objective.
Indirect
Investment Risk. CoreWeave,
Inc. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any affiliates
thereof and is not involved with this offering in any way, and has no obligation
to consider the Fund in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value
of the Fund. The Trust, the Fund and any affiliate are not responsible for the
performance of CoreWeave, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance
of CRWV. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in CRWV. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other
distributions or any other rights with respect to
CRWV.
Underlying
Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a
whole.
CRWV
Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund
to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual
security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as
a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. In
addition to the risks associated generally with operating companies, CRWV faces
risks unique to its operations including, among others, supply or manufacturing
delays, increased material or labor costs or shortages, reduced demand for its
products, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire and retain
key employees or qualified personnel. The trading price of CRWV common stock
historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a
large proportion of CRWV’s common stock has been historically and may in the
future be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and
demand for its common stock, further influencing volatility in its market price.
CRWV is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its products and
services, may change.
Information
Technology Sector Risk. The
value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely
heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology
product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and
competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from
competitors with lower production costs. In addition, many information
technology companies have limited product lines, markets, financial resources,
or personnel. The prices of information technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned
companies, tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the overall market.
Information technology companies are heavily dependent on patent and
intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely
affect profitability. Additionally, companies in the information technology
sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and
competition for the services of qualified
personnel.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which CoreWeave, Inc. is
assigned (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets in investments that
provide inverse exposure to the industry to which CoreWeave, Inc. is assigned).
A portfolio concentrated in a particular industry may present more risks than a
portfolio broadly diversified over several industries. As of the date of this
prospectus, CRWV is assigned to the software industry.
•Computer
Software Industry Risk. Computer
software companies can be significantly affected by competitive pressures,
aggressive pricing, technological developments, changing domestic demand, the
ability to attract and retain skilled employees and availability and price of
components. The market for products produced by computer software companies is
characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product obsolescence,
cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent new product
introductions. The success of computer software companies depends in substantial
part on the timely and successful introduction of new products and the ability
to service such products. An unexpected change in one or more of the
technologies affecting an issuer’s products or in the market for products based
on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on a
participant’s operating results.
Many
computer software companies rely on a combination of patents, copyrights,
trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and protect their proprietary
rights in their products and technologies. There can be no assurance that the
steps taken by computer software companies to protect their proprietary rights
will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of their technology or that
competitors will not independently develop technologies that are substantially
equivalent or superior to such companies’
technology.
Fixed
Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your
investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically,
a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income
securities owned by the Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income
securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to
changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors
include credit risk (the debtor may default), extension risk (an issuer may
exercise its right to repay principal on a fixed rate obligation held by the
Fund later than expected), and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its
obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could
affect the value of a particular investment by the Fund, possibly causing the
Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other
types of investments.
Money
Market Instrument Risk. The
Fund may use a variety of money market instruments for cash management
purposes, including money market funds, depositary accounts and repurchase
agreements. Money market funds may be subject to credit risk with respect to the
debt instruments in which they invest. Depository accounts may be subject to
credit risk with respect to the financial institution in which the depository
account is held. Repurchase agreements may be subject to market and credit risk
related to the collateral securing the repurchase agreement. Money market
instruments may lose money.
Large-Capitalization
Company Risk. Large-capitalization
companies typically have significant financial resources, extensive product
lines and broad markets for their goods and/or services. However, they may be
less able to adapt to changing market conditions or to respond quickly to
competitive challenges or to changes in business, product, financial, or market
conditions and may not be able to maintain growth at rates that may be achieved
by well-managed smaller and mid-size companies, which may affect the companies’
returns.
Liquidity
Risk. Holdings
of the Fund may be difficult to buy or sell or may be illiquid,
particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may be
difficult to value, especially in changing or volatile markets. If the Fund is
forced to buy or sell an illiquid security or derivative instrument at an
unfavorable time or price, the Fund may be adversely impacted. Certain market
conditions or restrictions may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing
gains, or achieving a high correlation with CRWV. There is no assurance that a
security or derivative instrument that is deemed liquid when purchased will
continue to be liquid. Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Fund. To the
extent that CRWV value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in CRWV. Under such
circumstances, the market for CRWV may lack sufficient liquidity for all market
participants’ trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more difficulty transacting
in the securities or financial instruments and the Fund’s transactions could
exacerbate the price changes of CRWV and may impact the ability of the Fund to
achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in CRWV and/or Fund may
lack sufficient liquidity for all market participants’ trades. Therefore, the
Fund may have difficulty transacting in it and/or in correlated investments,
such as swap contracts. Further, the Fund’s transactions could exacerbate
illiquidity and volatility in the price of CRWV and correlated derivative
instruments.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk. Although
an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an exchange,
there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will be
available at all times. An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts
on specific securities or financial instruments, including the shares of the
Fund. Under such circumstances, the ability to buy or sell certain portfolio
securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may result in
the Fund being unable to buy or sell investments for its portfolio, may disrupt
the Fund’s creation/redemption process, and may temporarily prevent investors
from buying and selling shares of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be unable
to accurately price its investments, may fail to achieve performance that is
correlated with CRWV and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or the securities of the Index experience a
significant increase or decrease, the Fund may not meet its investment objective
or rebalance its portfolio appropriately. Additionally, the Fund may close to
purchases and sales of Shares prior to the close of regular trading on Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc. and incur significant losses.
Equity
Securities Risk. Publicly
issued equity securities, including common stocks, are subject to market risks
that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of
equity securities in which the Fund invests, and/or has exposure to, will cause
the net asset value of the Fund to fluctuate. To the extent that the Fund
engages in short sales of the common stock of CRWV, such short sales do not
provide leveraged exposure to CRWV and, as a result, the Fund may not achieve
its -200% daily investment objective.
Tax
Risk. In
order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded a regulated
investment company (“RIC”) and its shareholders, the Fund must derive at least
90% of its gross income for each taxable year from “qualifying income,” meet
certain asset diversification tests at the end of each taxable quarter, and meet
annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s pursuit of its investment strategy
will potentially be limited by the Fund’s intention to qualify for such
treatment and could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to so qualify. The Fund
may make certain investments, the treatment of which for these purposes is
unclear. If, in any year, the Fund were to fail to qualify for the special tax
treatment accorded a RIC and its shareholders, and were ineligible to or were
not to cure such failure, the Fund would be taxed in the same manner as an
ordinary corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax on all its income at the
fund level. The resulting taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets
and the amount of income available for distribution. In addition, in order to
requalify for taxation as a RIC, the Fund could be required to recognize
unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest, and make certain
distributions. Please see the section entitled “Taxes” in the Statement of
Additional Information for more information.
Non-Diversification
Risk. The
Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high
percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in
financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties. This
may increase the Fund’s volatility and increase the risk that the Fund’s
performance will decline based on the performance of a single issuer or the
credit of a single counterparty and make the Fund more susceptible to risks
associated with a single economic, political, or regulatory occurrence than a
diversified fund.
ETF
Risks.
The Fund is an exchange-traded fund, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it
is exposed to the following risks:
•Authorized
Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Limitation
Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may
act as Authorized Participants (“APs”). In addition, there may be a limited
number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the
extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material
discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or
otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no
other APs step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or
liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business
activities and no other entities step forward to perform their
functions.
•Cash
Redemption Risk.
The Fund intends to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part
of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio
investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This
may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized
if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher
annual capital gain distributions than if the in-kind redemption process was
used.
•Costs
of Buying or Selling Shares.
Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions
imposed by brokers and bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may
significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be
advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small
investments.
•Shares
May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares
will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of
Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day
(discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market
volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility and volatility
in the Fund’s portfolio holdings, periods of steep market declines, and periods
when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in
which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. If an investor
purchases Shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of
the Shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV
of the Shares, then the investor may sustain losses that are in addition to any
losses caused by a decrease in NAV.
•Trading.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, and
may be traded on other U.S. exchanges, there can be no assurance that Shares
will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market
conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the
Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid
than Fund Shares.
The
Shares will change in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund may not achieve its investment objective.
Performance History
The Fund does
not have a full calendar year of performance history.
In the future, performance information will be presented in
this section of the Prospectus. Performance information will contain a bar chart
and table that provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by
showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the
Fund’s average annual returns for certain time periods as compared to a broad
measure of market performance. Investors
should be aware that past performance before and after taxes is not necessarily
an indication of how the Fund will perform in the
future.

Investment
Adviser
Tuttle
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the
Fund.
Portfolio
Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as the Fund’s
portfolio manager since its inception.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The
Fund will issue (or redeem) shares to certain institutional investors (typically
market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of at least 5,000
shares known as “Creation Units.” Creation Unit transactions are typically
effected in cash, but the Fund reserves the right to accept in-kind securities.
Individual shares may only be purchased and sold on a national securities
exchange through a broker-dealer. You can purchase and sell individual shares of
the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The
Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange (i.e.,
Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc.). The price of the Fund’s shares is based on market
price, and because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather
than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than
NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors
will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and you may pay some or
all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market
for shares. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, the Fund’s shares are not
redeemable securities. Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV,
market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com.
Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gain, unless
you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or
an individual retirement account, in which case withdrawals from such
arrangements generally will be taxed.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary (e.g.,
a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the
sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict
of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more
information.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS’ INVESTMENTS
Each
Fund’s investment objective is described in the summary section for each Fund.
The summary section also describes each Fund’s principal investment strategies,
including the types of securities in which each Fund invests, and the principal
risks of investing in each Fund. The principal investment strategies are not the
only investment strategies available to each Fund, but they are the ones each
Fund primarily uses to achieve its investment objective.
The
Funds do not seek to achieve their stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day. The Funds’ investment objectives may be
changed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of ETF Opportunities Trust (the
“Trust”) without shareholder approval upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to
shareholders. Unless otherwise noted, all other policies of the Funds may be
changed without shareholder approval. Each Fund reserves the right to substitute
a different ETF, index, or security for the underlying security.

The
Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized
only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors
employing dynamic strategies. Such investors are expected to monitor and manage
their portfolios frequently. Investors in the Funds should: (a) understand the
risks associated with the use of leverage; (b) understand the consequences of
seeking daily leveraged investment results; and (c) intend to actively monitor
and manage their investments. Investors who do not understand the Funds or do
not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments should
not buy the Funds.
There
is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objective and an
investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a complete
investment program.
ETFs
are funds that trade like other publicly traded securities. Unlike shares of a
mutual fund, which can be bought and redeemed from the issuing fund by all
shareholders at a price based on NAV, shares of the Funds may be purchased or
redeemed directly from the Funds at NAV solely by Authorized Participants and
only in aggregations of a specified number of shares Creation Units. Also,
unlike shares of a mutual fund, shares of the Funds are listed on a national
securities exchange and trade in the secondary market at market prices that
change throughout the day.
Each
Fund will enter into swap agreements with respect to its underlying security
with financial institutions for a specified period ranging from one day to more
than one year whereby the Funds and the financial institution will agree to
exchange the return earned or realized on the underlying security. The gross
returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties is calculated with
respect to a “notional amount,” e.g., the return on or change in value of a
particular dollar amount representing the underlying security.
Each
trading day the Adviser adjusts each 2X Long ETF’s exposure to its underlying
security such that the notional exposure of all swaps equals 200% of the ETF’s
aggregate net asset value. The impact of market movements during the day
determines whether the total notional swap exposure needs to be increased or
decreased. If the price of the underlying security has risen on a given day, the
value of the Fund’s net assets should rise, meaning its total notional swap
exposure will typically need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of the
underlying security has fallen on a given day, the value of the Fund’s net
assets should fall, meaning its total notional swap exposure will typically need
to be reduced.
Each
trading day the Adviser adjusts each 2X Inverse ETF’s exposure to its underlying
security such that the notional exposure of all swaps equals -200% of the ETF’s
aggregate net asset value. The impact of market movements during the day
determines whether the total notional swap exposure needs to be increased or
decreased. If the price of the underlying security has fallen on a given day,
the value of the Fund’s net assets should rise, meaning its total notional swap
exposure will typically need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of the
underlying security has risen on a given day, the value of the Fund’s net assets
should fall, meaning its total notional swap exposure will typically need to be
reduced.
The
time and manner in which each Fund rebalances its portfolio may vary from day to
day at the sole discretion of the Adviser depending upon market conditions and
other circumstances. Generally, at or near the close of the market at each
trading day, each Fund will position its portfolio to ensure that the Fund’s
exposure to its underlying security is consistent with its stated investment
objective. Each Fund reviews its notional exposure under each of its swap
agreements, which reflects the extent of the Fund’s total investment exposure
under the swap, to ensure that the Fund’s exposure is in-line with its stated
investment objective. The gross returns to be exchanged are calculated with
respect to the notional amount and the underlying security’s returns to which
the swap is linked. Swaps are typically closed out on a net basis. Thus, while
the notional amount reflects a Fund’s total investment exposure under the swap,
the net amount is the Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under the swap.
That is the amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the
relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement. If for any
reason a Fund is unable to rebalance all or a portion of its portfolio, or if
all or a portion of the portfolio is rebalanced incorrectly, a Fund’s investment
exposure may not be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective. As a
result, a Fund may be more or less exposed to leverage risk than if it had been
properly rebalanced and may not achieve its investment objective. To the extent
that a Fund needs to “roll” its swap positions (i.e., enter into new swap
positions with a later expiration date as the current positions approach
expiration), it could be subjected to increased costs, which could negatively
impact the Fund’s performance.
To
create the necessary exposure, each Fund will enter into one or more swap
agreements, which incur borrowing costs. In light of these charges and each
Fund’s operating expenses, the expected return of each 2X Long ETF over one
trading day is equal to the gross expected return, which is the daily underlying
stock return, minus (i) financing charges incurred by the Fund in addition to
the financing cost embedded in the underlying stock and (ii) daily operating
expenses. For instance, if an underlying stock returns 2% on a given day, the
gross expected return of the Fund would be 2% multiplied by the daily leverage
factor, but the net expected return, which factors in the cost of financing the
portfolio and the impact of operating expenses, would be lower. With respect to
the 2X Inverse ETFs if an underlying stock returns 1% on a given day, the gross
expected return of the Fund would be negative 1% multiplied by the daily
leverage factor, but the net expected return, which factors in the cost of
financing the portfolio and the impact of operating expenses, would be
lower.
The
Fund may invest in other exchange-traded funds for cash management purposes.
Such exchange-traded funds may include The Laddered T-Bill ETF, which the Board
of Trustees of the Fund has determined to be within the same group of investment
companies as the Fund.
Additionally,
the Funds may invest between 40-80% of each Fund’s portfolio depending on the
amount of collateral required by the Fund’s counterparties in (1) U.S.
Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S.
Treasury; (2) money market funds; (3) short term bond ETFs and/or (4) corporate
debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured
promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of
comparable quality.

Swap
Agreements
The
2X Long ETFs will enter into swap agreements to pursue its investment objective
of delivering daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 200% of the
daily performance of its underlying security. The 2X Inverse ETFs will enter
into swap agreements to pursue their investment objective of delivering daily
investment results, before fees and expenses, of -200% of the daily performance
of the underlying security. The swap agreements may include as a reference asset
investment vehicle that seek exposure to the underlying security.
Swap
agreements are contracts entered into with financial institutions for a
specified period ranging from a day to more than one year. In a standard “swap”
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or
instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties
is calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” e.g., the return on or change
in value of a particular dollar amount representing the underlying security.
Each Fund may use a combination of swaps on the underlying security and swaps on
various investment vehicles that are designed to track the performance of the
underlying security. The underlying investment vehicle may not track the
performance of the underlying security due to embedded costs and other factors,
which may increase a Fund’s correlation risk and impact the Fund’s ability to
correlate with the underlying security.
With
respect to the use of swap agreements, if the underlying security has a dramatic
move in price that causes a material decline in the Fund’s NAV over certain
stated periods agreed to by the Fund and the counterparty, the terms of a swap
agreement between a Fund and its counterparty may permit the counterparty to
immediately close out all swap transactions with the Fund. In that event, a Fund
may be unable to enter into another swap agreement or invest in other
derivatives to achieve the desired exposure consistent with its investment
objective. This, in turn, may prevent a Fund from achieving its investment
objective, even if the underlying security reverses all or a portion of its
price movement. Any costs associated with using swap agreements may also have
the effect of lowering a Fund’s return.
Each
Fund may also invest in U.S. Government Securities, money market funds and
corporate debt securities such as commercial paper or other short-term unsecured
promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or of
comparable quality. Each Fund may also invest in short-term bond
ETFs.
U.S.
government securities include U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued or
guaranteed by various agencies of the U.S. government, or by various
instrumentalities that have been established or sponsored by the U.S.
government. U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit”
of the U.S. government. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies and
U.S. government sponsored instrumentalities may or may not be backed by the full
faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Non-Principal
Investments
Cash
Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
Each
Fund may invest in securities with maturities of less than one year or cash
equivalents, or they may hold cash. The percentage of each Fund invested in such
holdings varies and depends on several factors, including market conditions. For
more information on eligible short-term investments, see the SAI.
Synthetic
Exposure
Each
Fund may seek to replicate the long or short exposure to the underlying security
by creating a synthetic long or short position. To establish a synthetic long
position, a 2X Long ETF purchases a call option on the underlying security and
sells a put option on the underlying security at the same strike price and
expiration date. To establish a synthetic short position, a 2X Inverse ETF
purchases a put option on the underlying security and sells a call option on the
underlying security at the same strike price and expiration date. This
effectively results in similar risk exposures as would be the case if the Fund
held (or entered into a short position on) the underlying security. The Funds
may also vary the combination of puts and calls, strike prices, and expiration
dates to target 200% (or in the case of a 2X Inverse ETF, -200%) investment
exposure.
Additional
Information Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies
The
Effects of Fees and Expenses on the Return of a Fund for a Single Trading
Day.
To create the necessary exposure, each Fund uses leveraged investment
techniques, which necessarily incur brokerage and financing charges. In light of
these charges and a Fund’s operating expenses, the expected return of a Fund
over one trading day is equal to the gross expected return, which is the daily
return of the underlying security multiplied by a Fund’s daily leveraged
investment objective, minus (i) financing charges incurred by the portfolio and
(ii) daily operating expenses. For instance, if the underlying security returned
2% on a given day, the gross expected return of the Fund would be 4%, but the
net expected return, which factors in the cost of financing the portfolio and
the impact of operating expenses, would be lower. Each Fund will reposition its
portfolio at the end of every trading day. Therefore, if an investor purchases a
2X Long ETF shares at close of the markets on a given trading day, the
investor’s exposure to the underlying security would reflect 200% of the
performance of the underlying security during the following trading day, subject
to the charges and expenses noted above.
To
create the necessary exposure each 2X Inverse ETF will enter into total return
swaps that pay each Fund -200% of the return on the underlying security The Fund
will reposition its portfolio at the end of every trading day. Therefore, if an
investor purchases Fund shares at close of markets on a given day, the
investor’s exposure to the underlying security would reflect 200% of the inverse
performance of the underlying security during the following trading day.
A
Cautionary Note to Investors Regarding Dramatic Price Movement in the Underlying
Security.
Each Fund could lose an amount greater than its net assets in the event of a
movement of the underlying security in excess of 50% in a direction adverse to
the Fund (meaning a decline in excess of 50% of the value of the underlying
security for each 2X Long ETF or an increase in excess of 50% of the value of
the underlying security for each 2X Inverse ETF). The risk of total loss exists.
If
the underlying security has a dramatic adverse move that causes a material
decline in the Fund’s net assets, the terms of a Fund’s swap agreements may
permit the counterparty to immediately close out all swap transactions with the
Fund. In that event, a Fund may be unable to enter into another swap agreement
or invest in other derivatives to achieve exposure consistent with a Fund’s
investment objective. This may prevent a Fund from achieving its leveraged
investment objective, even if the underlying security later reverses all or a
portion the move, and result in significant losses.
Examples
of the Impact of Daily Leverage and Compounding. Because
each Fund’s exposure to the underlying security is repositioned on a daily
basis, for a holding period longer than one day, the pursuit of a daily
investment objective will result in daily leveraged compounding for each Fund.
This means that the return of the underlying security over a period of time
greater than one day multiplied by a Fund’s daily leveraged investment objective
(e.g., 200% or -200%) generally will not equal the Fund’s performance over that
same period. As a consequence, investors should not plan to hold a Fund
unmonitored for periods longer than a single trading day. This deviation
increases with higher volatility in the underlying security and longer holding
periods. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods less than a
full
trading
day or for a period different than a trading day will not be the product of the
return of a Fund’s stated daily leveraged investment objective and the
performance of the underlying security for the full trading day. The actual
exposure will largely be a function of the performance of the underlying
security from the end of the prior trading day.
Consider
the following examples:
While
these examples are designed to show the effect on the Fund of leverage,
volatility, and performance with respect to the underlying security, these
examples apply to the underlying security.
Mary
is considering investments in two Funds, Funds A and B. Fund A is an ETF which
seeks (before fees and expenses) to match the performance of the underlying
security. Fund B is a leveraged ETF and seeks daily leveraged investment results
(before fees and expenses) that correspond to 200% of the daily performance of
the underlying security.
An
investment in Fund A would be expected to gain 5% on Day 1 and lose 4.76% on Day
2, returning the investment to its original value. The following example assumes
a $100 investment in Fund A when the underlying security is also valued at
$100:

Although
the percentage decline in Fund B is smaller on Day 2 than the percentage gain on
Day 1, the loss is applied to a higher principal amount, so the investment in
Fund B experiences a loss even when the aggregate value of the underlying
security for the two-day period has not declined. (These calculations do not
include the charges for fund fees and expenses).
As
you can see, an investment in Fund B has additional risks due to the effects of
leverage and compounding.
An
investor who purchases shares of the Fund intra-day will generally receive more,
or less, than 200% exposure to the underlying security from that point until the
end of the trading day. The actual exposure will be largely a function of the
performance of the underlying security from the end of the prior trading day. If
the Fund’s shares are held for a period longer than a single trading day, the
Fund’s performance is likely to deviate from 200% or -200% of the return of the
underlying security’s performance for the longer period. This deviation will
increase with higher volatility of the underlying security and longer holding
periods.
Examples
of the Impact of Volatility.
The Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing exposure in
response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s
losses. Daily rebalancing will typically cause the Fund to lose money if the
underlying security experience volatility. A volatility rate is a statistical
measure of the magnitude of fluctuations in the underlying security’s returns
over a defined period. For periods longer than a trading day, volatility in the
performance of the
underlying
security from day to day is the primary cause of any disparity between the
Fund’s actual returns and the returns of the underlying security for such
period. Volatility causes such disparity because it
exacerbates
the effects of compounding on the Fund’s returns. In addition, the effects of
volatility are magnified in the Fund due to leverage. Consider the following
three examples that demonstrate the effect of volatility on a hypothetical
fund:
Example
1 – The Underlying Security Experiences Low Volatility
Mary
invests $10.00 in a 2X Long ETF at the close of trading on Day 1. During Day 2,
the underlying security rises from 100 to 102, a 2% gain. Mary’s investment
rises 4% to $10.40. Mary holds her investment through the close of trading on
Day 3, during which the underlying security rises from 102 to 104, a gain of
1.96%. Mary’s investment rises to $10.81, a gain during Day 3 of 3.92%. For the
two-day period since Mary invested in the Fund, the underlying security gained
4% although Mary’s investment increased by 8.1%. Because the underlying security
continued to trend upwards with low volatility, Mary’s return closely correlates
to the 200% return of the return of the underlying security for the period.
John
invests $10.00 in a 2X Inverse ETF at the close of trading on Day 1. During Day
2, the underlying security gains 2%, and John’s investment falls by 4% to $9.60.
On Day 3, the underlying security rises by 1.96%, and John’s investment falls by
3.92% to $9.22. For the two-day period the underlying security returned 4% while
John’s investment lost 7.8%. John’s return still correlates to -200% return of
the underlying security, but not as closely as Mary’s investment in a 2X Long
ETF.
Example
2 – The Underlying Security Experiences High Volatility
Mary
invests $10.00 in a 2X Long ETF after the close of trading on Day 1. During Day
2, the underlying security rises from 100 to 102, a 2% gain, and Mary’s
investment rises 4% to $10.40. Mary continues to hold her investment through the
end of Day 3, during which the underlying security declines from 102 to 98, a
loss of 3.92%. Mary’s investment declines by 7.84%, from $10.40 to $9.58. For
the two-day period since Mary invested in the Fund, the underlying security lost
2% while Mary’s investment decreased from $10 to $9.58, a 4.2% loss. The
volatility of the underlying security affected the correlation between the
underlying security’s return for the two-day period and Mary’s return. In this
situation, Mary lost more than two times the return of the underlying security.
Conversely,
John invests $10.00 in a 2X Inverse ETF after the close of trading on Day 1.
During Day 2, the underlying security rises from 100 to 102, a 2% gain, and
John’s investment falls 4% to $9.60. John continues to hold his investment
through the end of Day 3, during which the underlying security declines from 102
to 98, a loss of 3.92%. John’s investment rises by 7.84%, from $9.60 to $10.35.
For the two-day period since John invested in the Fund, the underlying security
lost 2% while John’s investment increased from $10 to $10.35, a 3.5% gain. The
volatility of the underlying security affected the correlation between the
underlying security’s return for the two-day period and John’s return. In this
situation, John gained less than two times the return of the underlying
security.
Example
3 – Intra-day Investment with Volatility
The
examples above assumed that Mary purchased the Fund at the close of trading on
Day 1 and sold her investment at the close of trading on a subsequent day.
However, if she made an investment intra-day, she would have received a beta
determined by the performance of the underlying security from the end of the
prior trading day until her time of purchase on the next trading day. Consider
the following example.
Mary
invests $10.00 in a 2X Long ETF at 11 a.m. on Day 2. From the close of trading
on Day 1 until 11 a.m. on Day 2, the underlying security moved from 100 to 102,
a 2% gain. In light of that gain, the Fund beta at the point at which Mary
invests is 196%. During the remainder of Day 2, the underlying security rises
from 102 to 110, a gain of 7.84%, and Mary’s investment rises 15.4% (which is
the underlying security’s gain of 7.84% multiplied by the 196% beta that she
received) to $11.54. Mary continues to hold her investment through the close of
trading on Day 3, during which the underlying security declines from 110 to 90,
a loss of 18.18%. Mary’s investment declines by 36.4%, from $11.54 to $7.34. For
the period of Mary’s investment, the underlying security declined from 102 to
90, a loss of 11.76%, while Mary’s investment decreased from $10.00 to $7.34, a
27% loss. The volatility of the underlying security affected the correlation
between the underlying security’s return for period and Mary’s return. In this
situation, Mary lost more than
two
times the return of the underlying security. Mary was also hurt because she
missed the first 2% move of the underlying security and had a beta of 196% for
the remainder of Day 2.
Market
Volatility.
Each Fund seeks to provide a return which is a multiple of the daily performance
of the underlying security. No Fund attempts to, and should not be expected to,
provide returns which are a multiple of the return of the underlying security
for periods other than a single day. Each Fund rebalances its portfolio on a
daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing
exposure in response to that day’s losses.
Daily
rebalancing will impair a Fund’s performance if the underlying security
experiences volatility. For instance, a 2X Long ETF would be expected to lose 4%
(as shown in Table 1 below) if the underlying security provide no return over a
one-year period and experienced annualized volatility of 20%. A 2X Inverse ETF
would be expected to lose 12% (as shown in Table 1 below) if the underlying
security provides no return over a one-year period and had annualized volatility
of 20%. If the underlying security’s annualized volatility were to rise to 40%,
the hypothetical loss for a one-year period for a 2X Long ETF widens to
approximately 15% while the loss for a 2X Inverse ETF rises to 45%.

Note
that at higher volatility levels, there is a chance of a complete loss of Fund
assets even if the underlying security is flat.
For instance, if annualized volatility of the underlying security was 90%, a 2X
Long ETF based on the underlying security would be expected to lose 76% and a 2X
Inverse ETF would be expected to lose 99% of its value, even if the underlying
security returned 0% for the year.
Table
2 shows the annualized historical volatility rate for the underlying security
over the five-year period ended December 31, 2025. Since market volatility has
negative implications for funds which rebalance daily, investors should be sure
to monitor and manage their investments in the Funds particularly in volatile
markets. The negative implications of volatility in Table 1 can be combined with
the recent volatility in Table 2 to give investors some sense of the risks of
holding a Fund for longer periods over the past five years. Historical
volatility and performance are not likely indicative of future volatility and
performance.

The
Projected Returns of Funds for Intra-Day Purchases. Because
the Funds rebalance their portfolio once daily, an investor who purchases shares
during a day will likely have more, or less, than 200% leveraged investment
exposure to the underlying security. The exposure to the underlying security
received by an investor who purchases a Fund intra-day will differ from the
Fund’s stated daily leveraged investment objective (e.g., 200% or -200%) by an
amount determined by the movement of the underlying security from their value at
the end of the prior day. If the underlying security moves in a direction
favorable to the Fund between the close of the market on one trading day through
the time on the next trading day when the investor purchases the Fund shares,
the investor will receive less exposure to the underlying security than the
stated fund daily leveraged investment objective (e.g., 200% or -200%).
Conversely, if the underlying security moves in a direction adverse to the Fund,
the investor will receive more exposure to the underlying security than the
stated fund daily leveraged investment objective (e.g., 200% or -200%).
Table
3 below indicates the exposure to the underlying security that an intra-day
purchase of each 2X Long ETF would be expected to provide based upon the
movement in the value of the underlying security from the close of the market on
the prior trading day. Such exposure holds until a subsequent sale on that same
trading day or until the close of the market on that trading day. For instance,
if the underlying security has moved 5% in a direction favorable to the Fund,
the investor would receive exposure to the performance of the underlying
security from that point until the investor sells later that day or the end of
the day equal to approximately 191% of the investor’s investment.
Conversely,
if the underlying security has moved 5% in a direction unfavorable to the Fund,
an investor at that point would receive exposure to the performance of the
underlying security from that point until the investor sells later that day or
the end of the day equal to approximately 211% of the investor’s investment.
The
table includes a range of the underlying security moves from 20% to -20% for the
Fund. Movement of the underlying security
beyond
the range noted below will result in exposure further from the Fund’s daily
leveraged investment objective.

The
Projected Returns of the Fund for Periods Other Than a Single Trading
Day.
The Funds seek leveraged investment results on a daily basis — from the close of
regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day — which
should not be equated with seeking a leveraged investment objective for any
other period. For instance, if the underlying security gains 10% for a week, a
Fund should not be expected to provide a return of 20% for the week even if it
meets its daily leveraged investment objective throughout the week. This is true
because of the financing charges noted above but also because the pursuit of
daily goals may result in daily leveraged compounding, which means that the
return of the underlying security over a period of time greater than one day
multiplied by the Fund’s daily leveraged
investment
objective or inverse daily leveraged investment objective (e.g., 200% of -200%)
will not generally equal a Fund’s performance over that same period. In
addition, the effects of compounding become greater the longer Shares are held
beyond a single trading day.
The
following tables set out a range of hypothetical daily performances during a
given 10 trading days of a hypothetical underlying security and demonstrate how
changes in the hypothetical underlying security impacts the hypothetical Funds’
performance for a trading day and cumulatively up to, and including, the entire
10 trading day period. The charts are based on a hypothetical $100 investment in
the hypothetical Fund over a 10-trading day period and do not reflect fees or
expenses of any kind.

The
cumulative performance of the hypothetical underlying security in Table 5 is 0%
for 10 trading days. The return of the hypothetical 2X Long ETF for the
10-trading day period is -6.12%, while the return of a 2X Inverse ETF is
-19.45%. The volatility of the hypothetical underlying security’s performance
and lack of a clear trend results in performance for each hypothetical Fund for
the period which bears little relationship to the performance of the
hypothetical underlying security for the 10-trading day period.

ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ABOUT RISK
It
is important that you closely review and understand the risks of investing in
each Fund. The principal risks of investing in each Fund are described in the
“Principal Risks” section in the applicable Fund Summary above. Each Fund’s NAV
and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its
portfolio securities. You could lose money on your investment in each Fund, and
each Fund could underperform other investments. There is no guarantee that each
Fund will meet its investment objective. An investment in the Funds is not a
deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Below
are some of the specific risks of investing in the Funds.
Additional
Information About Principal Risks.
The principal risks of investing in each Fund are summarized in the Fund Summary
for that Fund. The discussion below provides additional information about
certain of those principal risks and certain risks that are particularly
relevant to the Funds’ investment strategies. All of the principal risks
identified in the Fund Summary apply to an investment in the Fund, even if not
discussed below in detail.
Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk – Each 2X Long ETF
Each
Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund’s performance
for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from an underlying
security’s performance times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment
objective, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on leveraged funds and funds that rebalance
daily.
Over
time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of a
Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage
increase of 200% of the return of the Fund's underlying security due to the
compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the Fund. It also is
expected that a Fund's use of leverage will cause the Fund to underperform the
return of 200% of its underlying security in a trendless or flat
market.
The
chart below provides examples of how volatility could affect a Fund’s
performance. A security’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the
magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the security. Fund performance for
periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of
assumptions for the following factors: a) volatility; b) performance; c) period
of time; d) financing rates associated with leveraged exposure; e) other Fund
expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in its
underlying security. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal
factors – volatility and performance – on Fund performance. The chart
shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of volatility and
performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that:
(i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in its
underlying security; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii)
borrowing/lending rates (to obtain leveraged exposure for the Funds) of 0%. If
Fund expenses and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the
estimated returns would be different than those shown. Particularly during
periods of higher volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer
than a trading day to vary from 200% of the performance of the underlying
security.
During
periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the underlying security may
affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying
security. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently
depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the
volatility of the underlying security during a shareholder’s holding period of
an investment in the Fund.
As
shown below, a Fund would be expected to lose 6.1% if its underlying
security provided no return over a one-year period during which its underlying
security experienced annualized volatility of 25%. If its underlying security’s
annualized volatility were to rise to 75%, the hypothetical loss for a one-year
period for a Fund widens to approximately 43%.
At
higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a significant loss of
value in a Fund. For instance, if an underlying security’s annualized volatility
is 100%, the Fund would be expected to lose approximately 63.2% of its value,
even if the cumulative return of its underlying security for the year was 0%.
The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the underlying
security, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Fund's
underlying security.

Holding
an unmanaged position opens the investor to the risk of market volatility
adversely affecting the performance of the investment. The Funds are not

Effects
of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk – Each 2X Inverse ETF
Each
Fund has a daily investment objective and the Fund’s performance for
periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns
compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from an underlying
security’s performance times the stated multiple in the Fund’s investment
objective, before fees and expenses. Compounding affects all investments, but
has a more significant impact on leveraged funds and funds that rebalance
daily.
Over
time, the cumulative percentage increase or decrease in the value of a
Fund’s portfolio may diverge significantly from the cumulative percentage
decrease of 200% of the return of the Fund's underlying security due to the
compounding effect of losses and gains on the returns of the Fund. It also is
expected that a Fund will underperform the return of -200% of its underlying
security in a trendless or flat market.
The
chart below provides examples of how volatility could affect a Fund’s
performance. A security’s volatility rate is a statistical measure of the
magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the security. Fund performance for
periods greater than one single day can be estimated given any set of
assumptions for the following factors: a) volatility; b) performance; c) period
of time; d) financing rates associated with inverse exposure; e) other Fund
expenses; and f) dividends or interest paid with respect to securities in its
underlying security. The chart below illustrates the impact of two principal
factors – volatility and performance – on Fund performance. The chart
shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of volatility and
performance over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes that:
(i) no dividends were paid with respect to the securities included in its
underlying security; (ii) there were no Fund expenses; and (iii)
borrowing/lending rates (to obtain inverse exposure) of 0%. If Fund expenses
and/or actual borrowing/lending rates were reflected, the estimated returns
would be different than those shown. Particularly during periods of higher
volatility, compounding will cause results for periods longer than a trading day
to vary from 100% of the performance of the underlying security.
During
periods of higher volatility, the volatility of the underlying security may
affect a Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the underlying
security. The impact of compounding will impact each shareholder differently
depending on the period of time an investment in the Fund is held and the
volatility of the underlying security during a shareholder’s holding period of
an investment in the Fund.
As
shown below, a Fund would be expected to lose 17.1% if its underlying
security provided no return over a one-year period during which the underlying
security experienced annualized volatility of 25%. If the underlying security’s
annualized volatility were to rise to 75%, the hypothetical loss for a one-year
period widens to approximately 81.5%. At higher ranges of volatility, there is a
chance of a significant loss of value in the Fund. For instance, if the
underlying security’s annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be expected
to lose approximately 95% of its value, even if the underlying security’s
cumulative return for the year was 0%.

Holding
an unmanaged position opens the investor to the risk of market volatility
adversely affecting the performance of the investment. The Funds are not
appropriate for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their
portfolios. These tables are intended to underscore the fact that the Fund is
designed as a short-term trading vehicle for investors who intend to actively
monitor and manage their portfolios.
For
additional information and examples demonstrating the effects of volatility
and performance on the long-term performance of the Funds, see the “Additional
Information About Investment Techniques and Policies.”
Leverage
Risk. To
achieve its daily investment objective, the Funds employ leverage and are
exposed to the risk that adverse daily performance of the Fund's underlying
security will be magnified. This means that, if a Fund's underlying security
experiences adverse daily performance (meaning a decline in the value of the
underlying security of the Fund for each 2X Long ETF and an increase in the
value of the underlying security of each 2X Inverse ETF), an investment in the
Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 2% for every 1% of adverse
performance, not including the costs of financing leverage and other operating
expenses, which would further reduce its value.
A
Fund could theoretically lose an amount greater than its net assets if its
underlying security moves more than 50% in a direction adverse to the Fund
(meaning a decline in the value of the underlying security of the Fund for each
2X Long ETF and an increase in the value of the underlying security of each 2X
Inverse ETF). This would result in a total loss of a shareholder’s investment in
one day even if its underlying security subsequently moves in the opposite
direction and eliminates all or a portion of its earlier daily change. A total
loss may occur in a single day even if its underlying security does not lose all
of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences
in the Fund’s correlation with the underlying security or may increase the
Fund’s volatility.
To
the extent that the instruments utilized by the Funds are thinly traded or have
a limited market, a Fund may be unable to meet its investment
objective due to a lack of available investments or
counterparties. During such periods, the Fund’s ability to issue additional
Creation Units may be adversely affected. As a result, the Fund’s shares could
trade at a premium or discount to their NAV and/or the bid-ask spread of the
Fund’s shares could widen. Under such circumstances, the Fund may increase its
transaction fee, change its investment objective by, for example, seeking
to track an alternative underlying security, reduce its leverage or
close.
In
such circumstances, the Fund’s investment adviser will consult with counsel to
the Trust and its Board of Trustees, and if determined to be necessary, the Fund
will amend and/or supplement the prospectus as promptly as feasible under the
circumstances to include appropriate disclosures.
Derivatives
Risk.
A Fund may obtain exposure through derivatives by investing in swap
agreements. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may
expose a Fund to risks different from, and possibly greater
than, risks associated with investing directly in the reference
asset(s) underlying the derivative. The use of derivatives may result
in larger losses or smaller gains than investing in the underlying security
directly. The use of derivatives may expose a Fund to additional risks such as
counterparty risk, liquidity risk and increased daily correlation risk. When a
Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of
the underlying reference assets and the derivative, which may prevent a Fund
from achieving its investment objective.
A
Fund expects to use a combination of swaps on the underlying security. The
performance of an ETF may not track the performance of its underlying security
due to embedded costs and other factors. Thus, to the extent a Fund invests in
swaps that use an ETF as the reference asset, the Fund may be subject to greater
correlation risk and may not achieve as high a degree of correlation with its
underlying security as it would if the Fund only used swaps on the underlying
security. If the underlying security has a dramatic move in price that causes a
material decline in a Fund’s NAV over certain stated periods agreed to by the
Fund and the counterparty, the terms of the swap agreement between a Fund and
its counterparty may allow the counterparty to immediately close out of all swap
transactions with a Fund. In such circumstances, a Fund may be unable to enter
into another swap agreement or invest in other derivatives to achieve the
desired exposure consistent with a Fund’s daily leveraged investment objective.
This may prevent a Fund from achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
even if the underlying security reverses all or a portion of its price movement.
The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning.
Any financing, borrowing or other costs associated with using derivatives may
also have the effect of lowering a Fund’s return. Such costs may increase as
interest rates rise.
Swaps
Risk.
Swap agreements are entered into with financial institutions for a specified
period which may range from one day to more than one year. In a standard swap
transaction, two parties agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates
of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined reference or
underlying securities or instruments. The gross return to be exchanged or
swapped between the parties is calculated based on a notional amount or the
return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a
reference asset. Swap agreements are generally traded over-the-counter, and
therefore, may not receive as much regulatory protection, which may expose
investors to significant losses.
Counterparty
Risk.
Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty is unwilling or unable to
make timely payments to meet its contractual obligations with respect to the
amount a Fund expects to receive from a counterparty to a financial instrument
entered into by a Fund. Each Fund generally enters into derivatives
transactions, such as the swap agreements, with counterparties such that either
party can terminate the contract without penalty prior to the termination
date. If a counterparty terminates a contract, a Fund may not be able to
invest in other derivatives to achieve the desired exposure, or achieving such
exposure may be more expensive. A Fund may be negatively impacted if a
counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations
under such a contract, or if any collateral posted by the counterparty for the
benefit of a Fund is insufficient or there are delays in a Fund’s ability to
access such collateral. If the counterparty becomes bankrupt or defaults on its
payment obligations to a Fund, it may experience significant delays in obtaining
any recovery, may obtain only a limited recovery or obtain no recovery and the
value of an investment held by a Fund may decline. The Fund may also not be able
to exercise remedies, such as the termination of transactions, netting of
obligations and realization on collateral, if such remedies are stayed or
eliminated under special resolutions adopted in the United States, the European
Union, and various other jurisdictions. European Union rules and regulations
intervene when a financial institution is experiencing financial difficulties
and could reduce, eliminate, or convert to equity a counterparty’s obligations
to a Fund (sometimes referred to as a “bail in”).
A
Fund typically enters into transactions with counterparties that present
minimal risks based on the Adviser’s assessment of the counterparty’s
creditworthiness, or its capacity to meet its financial obligations during the
term of the derivative agreement or contract. The Adviser considers factors such
as counterparty credit rating among other factors when determining whether a
counterparty is creditworthy. The Adviser regularly monitors the
creditworthiness of each counterparty with which a Fund transacts. Each Fund
generally enters into swap agreements or other financial instruments with
financial institutions and seeks to mitigate risks by generally requiring that
the counterparties for each Fund to post collateral, marked to market daily, in
an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes a Fund, subject to
certain minimum thresholds. To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or
there are delays in
accessing
the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to the risks described above. If a
counterparty’s credit ratings decline, a Fund may be subject to a bail-in, as
described above.
In
addition, a Fund may enter into swap agreements with a limited number of
counterparties, which may increase a Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit
risk. A Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to
any single counterparty. There is a risk that no suitable counterparties are
willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with a Fund and,
as a result, a Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective or may
decide to change its leveraged investment objective. The risk of a limited
number of counterparties may be, and historically has been, particularly
accentuated during times of significant market volatility. During times of
significant market volatility, the costs to enter into the swaps that the Fund
utilizes may increase significantly, which may negatively impact the Fund’s
returns. While the objective of the Funds is to seek daily investment results,
before
fees and expenses,
of 200% (or in the case of the 2X Inverse ETFs, -200%) of the daily performance
of the underlying security, it is important for investors to understand that
significant increases in the costs of entering into the swaps may negatively
impact investment results after
fees and expenses.
Additionally, although a counterparty to a centrally cleared swap agreement is
often backed by a futures commission merchant (“FCM”) or a clearing organization
that is further backed by a group of financial institutions, there may be
instances in which a FCM or a clearing organization would fail to perform its
obligations, causing significant losses to a Fund.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk.
Each Fund seeks daily leveraged investment results, which should not be
equated with seeking an investment objective for shorter than a day. Thus, an
investor who purchases Fund shares after the close of the markets on one trading
day and before the close of the markets on the next trading day will likely have
more, or less, than 200% or -200% leveraged investment exposure to the
underlying security, depending upon the movement of the underlying security from
the end of one trading day until the time of purchase. If the underlying
security moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the investor will receive
less than 200% or -200% exposure to the underlying security. Conversely, if the
underlying security moves in a direction adverse to a Fund, the investor will
receive exposure to the underlying security greater than 200% or -200%. Thus, an
investor that purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is
greater than, or less than, a Fund’s stated multiple of its underlying
security.
Options
Contracts. The
use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from
those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of
options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, including the
anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and
by national and international politics, changes in the actual or implied
volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of
the option contract and economic events. The values of the options contracts in
which the Funds invest are substantially influenced by the value of the
underlying instrument. The Funds may experience substantial downside from
specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Funds may
expire worthless. The options held by the Funds are exercisable at the strike
price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its
value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying instrument.
However, prior to expiry, the value of an option generally does not increase or
decrease at the same rate as the underlying instrument. There may at times be an
imperfect correlation between the movement in values options contracts and the
reference asset, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for
certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Funds will be
determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. As
the options contracts are exercised or expire the Funds may enter into new
options contracts, a practice referred to as rolling.
FLEX
Options Risk. The
FLEX Options held by the Funds will be exercisable at the strike price only on
their expiration date. Prior to the expiration date, the value of the FLEX
Options will be determined based upon market quotations or using other
recognized pricing methods. The value of the FLEX Options prior to the
expiration date may vary because of related factors other than the value of the
reference asset. Factors that may influence the value of the FLEX Options, other
than gains or losses in the reference asset, may include interest rate changes,
changing supply and demand, decreased liquidity of the FLEX Options, and
changing volatility levels of the reference asset.
FLEX
Options are listed on an exchange; however, it is not guaranteed that a liquid
secondary trading market will exist. In the event that trading in the FLEX
Options is limited or absent, the value of the FLEX Options may
decrease.
Daily
Correlation Risk.
There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation
to an underlying security and therefore achieve its respective daily leveraged
investment objective. Each Fund’s exposure to an underlying security is impacted
by an underlying security’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that a
Fund will be perfectly exposed to its an underlying security at the end of each
day. The possibility of a Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to an
underlying security increase on days when an underlying security is volatile
near the close of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions
and high volatility will also adversely affect a Fund’s ability to adjust
exposure to the required levels.
Each
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily leveraged investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly,
accounting standards and their application to income items, disruptions,
illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the securities or financial
instruments in which a Fund invests, early and unanticipated closings of the
markets on which the holdings of a Fund trade, resulting in the inability of a
Fund to execute intended portfolio transactions, regulatory and tax
considerations, which may cause a Fund to hold (or not to hold) an underlying
security. Each Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to
improve tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for other
reasons, each of which may negatively affect each Fund’s correlation with
an underlying security. A Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of each Fund, potentially resulting in each Fund being over- or
under-exposed to an underlying security. Additionally, each Fund’s underlying
investments and/or reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on
the same day as each Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in
the daily performance of a Fund and changes in the performance of an underlying
security. Any of these factors could decrease the correlation between the
performance of a Fund and an underlying security and may hinder a Fund’s ability
to meet its daily investment objective on or around that day.
Daily
Inverse Correlation Risk (each 2X Inverse ETF only).
There
is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve a high degree of inverse
correlation to the underlying security and therefore achieve its daily inverse
investment objective. Each Fund’s exposure to an underlying security is impacted
by an underlying security’s movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the
Fund will be perfectly exposed to it an underlying security at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to an
underlying security increase on days when an underlying security is volatile
near the close of the trading day. Market disruptions, regulatory restrictions
and high volatility will also adversely affect a Fund’s ability to adjust
exposure to the required levels.
A
Fund may have difficulty achieving its daily inverse investment objective
for many reasons, including fees, expenses, transaction costs, financing costs
related to the use of derivatives, investments in ETFs, directly or indirectly,
accounting standards and their application to income items, disruptions,
illiquid or high volatility in the markets for the securities or financial
instruments in which a Fund invests, early and unanticipated closings of the
markets on which the holdings of a Fund trade, resulting in the inability of a
Fund to execute intended portfolio transactions, regulatory and tax
considerations, which may cause a Fund to hold (or not to hold) an underlying
security. The Fund may take or refrain from taking positions in order to improve
tax efficiency, comply with regulatory restrictions, or for other reasons, each
of which may negatively affect each Fund’s inverse correlation with an
underlying security. The Fund may be subject to large movements of assets into
and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the Fund being over- or
under-exposed to an underlying security. Additionally, each Fund’s underlying
investments and/or reference assets may trade on markets that may not be open on
the same day as the Fund, which may cause a difference between the changes in
the daily performance of the Fund and changes in the performance of an
underlying security. Any of these factors could decrease the inverse
correlation between the performance of a Fund and an underlying security and may
hinder the Fund’s ability to meet its daily inverse investment objective on or
around that day.
Shorting
Risk (each 2X Inverse ETF only). Shareholders
will lose money when the underlying security rises, which is a result that
is the opposite from traditional index tracking funds. Each Fund may enter into
short positions designed to earn the Fund a profit from the decline in the price
of its underlying security. Although the Fund will typically obtain inverse or
“short” exposure through the use of swap agreements, the Fund may also
obtain short exposure through the use of purchased put options and physical
short sales of the underlying security. To the extent that the Fund seeks short
exposure by purchasing put option or engaging in physical short sales, the Fund
will not obtain -200% exposure to the underlying security and, as a result, the
Fund may not achieve its -200% daily investment objective. Short exposure may
expose the Fund to certain risks such as an increase in volatility or decrease
in the liquidity of the securities or financial
instruments
of the underlying short position. If the Fund were to experience this volatility
or decreased liquidity, the Fund’s return may be lower, the Fund’s ability to
obtain inverse exposure through the use of derivatives may be limited or the
Fund may be required to obtain inverse exposure through alternative investment
strategies that may be less desirable or more costly to implement. If the
securities or financial instruments underlying the short positions are thinly
traded or have a limited market due to various factors, including regulatory
action, the Fund may be unable to meet its investment objective due to a lack of
available securities, financial instruments, or counterparties. The Fund
may not be able to issue additional Creation Units during a period when it
cannot meet its investment objective due to these factors. Any income, dividends
or payments by the assets underlying the Fund’s short positions will negatively
impact the Fund.
Cash
Transaction Risk.
Unlike most ETFs, a Fund effects creation, and redemptions principally for
cash, rather than principally for in-kind securities, because of the nature of
the financial instruments held by a Fund. As such, investment in a Fund is not
expected to be tax efficient and will incur brokerage costs related to buying
and selling securities to achieve a Fund’s investment objective. To the extent
that such costs are not offset by fees payable by an authorized participant, the
Fund may bear such costs, which will decrease the Fund’s net asset value. ETFs
generally are able to make in-kind redemptions and avoid being taxed on gains on
the distributed portfolio securities at the fund level. Because each Fund
effects redemptions principally for cash, each Fund may be required to sell
portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption
proceeds. A Fund may recognize a capital gain on these sales that might not have
been incurred if such Fund had made a redemption in-kind and this may decrease
the tax efficiency of the Fund compared to ETFs that utilize an in-kind
redemption process. Additionally, because the Funds are conducting the portfolio
transactions rather than receiving securities in-kind the Funds will incur
brokerage commissions and other related expenses thus the Funds’ expenses
will be higher than funds that utilize in-kind creations and
redemptions.
Market
Risk.
A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions,
general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities
markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change
substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic
growth or recession, inflation rates and/or investor expectations concerning
such rates, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived
creditworthiness of issuers, general market liquidity, exchange trading
suspensions and closures, and public health risks. Securities markets also may
experience long periods of decline in value. During a general downturn in the
securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously
and changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the markets
broadly. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt
markets and adversely affect global economies, markets, and exchanges. Local,
regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, natural disasters,
the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, conflicts and
social unrest or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund, its
investments and a Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objective.
Markets
and market participants are increasingly reliant on information data
systems. Inaccurate data, software or other technology malfunctions, programming
inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access and similar circumstances may impair
the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single
issuer, a group of issuers, or securities markets more broadly.
Early
Close/Trading Halt Risk.
Although an underlying security’s shares are listed for trading on an
exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such
shares will be available at all times. When securities experience a sharp
decline in price, an exchange or market may close entirely or halt for a
period of time in accordance with exchange “circuit breaker” rules or issue
trading halts on specific securities and therefore, a Fund’s ability to buy or
sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted. These
exchange or market actions may result in a Fund being unable to buy or sell
certain securities or financial instruments. A Fund may be unable to rebalance
its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and/or may
incur substantial trading losses. If a Fund is unable to rebalance its portfolio
due to a market closure, a trading halt, an emergency, or other market
disrupting event, it may result in a Fund not achieving its investment objective
and a Fund having a significantly larger leverage multiple than 200%, which may
result in significant losses to Fund shareholders in certain
circumstances.
Additionally,
exchange or market closures or trading halts may result in a Fund’s shares
trading at an increasingly large discount to NAV and/or at increasingly wide
bid-ask spreads during part of, or all of, the trading day.
Synthetic
Exposure Risk.
Each Fund’s synthetic long positions involve the same risks as investing in the
equity securities of the underlying security, but also involve other risks.
There may be imperfect correlation between the underlying security and call and
put options on the underlying security as the result of changes in implied
volatility, bid/ask spreads, transaction costs and premiums paid on purchased
options. Options strategies may also involve different tax rules than holding
the underlying security directly. A synthetic position may not always provide
200% exposure to the underlying security and, as a result, the Fund may not
achieve its 200% daily investment objective.
Special
Risks of Exchange-Traded Funds
Authorized
Participants Concentration Risk. A
Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may act as
Authorized Participants. To the extent that those Authorized Participants exit
the business or are unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, Shares
may trade at larger bid-ask spreads and/or premiums or discounts to NAV.
Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for a fund that
invests in non-U.S. securities or other securities or instruments that have
lower trading volumes.
Absence
of Active Market Risk.
Although Shares are listed for trading on a stock exchange, there is no
assurance that an active trading market for them will develop or be maintained.
In the absence of an active trading market for Shares, they will likely trade
with a wider bid/ask spread and at a greater premium or discount to
NAV.
Market
Price Variance Risk.
Shares of a Fund can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices
rather than at NAV. When Shares trade at a price greater than NAV, they are said
to trade at a “premium.” When they trade at a price less than NAV, they are said
to trade at a “discount.” The market price of Shares fluctuates based on changes
in the value of a Fund’s holdings and on the supply and demand for Shares.
Because Shares can be created and redeemed in Creation Units at NAV, the
Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the net asset value of
Shares should not be sustained over the long term. Nevertheless, the market
price of Shares may vary significantly from NAV during periods of market
volatility. Further, to the extent that exchange specialists, market makers
and/or Authorized Participants are unavailable or unable to trade a Fund’s
Shares and/or create and redeem Creation Units, bid/ask spreads and premiums or
discounts may widen. The exact exposure of an investment in a Fund intraday in
the secondary market is a function of the difference between the value of the
underlying security at the market close on the first trading day and the value
of the underlying security at the time of purchase. Thus, an investor that
purchases shares intra-day may experience performance that is greater than, or
less than, a Fund’s stated multiple of its underlying security.
Trading
Cost Risk.
Buying or selling Fund shares on an exchange involves two types of costs that
apply to all securities transactions. When buying or selling shares of a Fund
through a broker, you will likely incur a brokerage commission and other
charges. In addition, you may incur the cost of the “spread”; that is, the
difference between what investors are willing to pay for Fund shares (the “bid”
price) and the price at which they are willing to sell Fund shares (the “ask”
price). The spread, which varies over time for shares of a Fund based on trading
volume and market liquidity, is generally narrower if the Fund has more trading
volume and market liquidity and wider if the Fund has less trading volume and
market liquidity. In addition, increased market volatility may cause wider
spreads. There may also be regulatory and other charges that are incurred as a
result of trading activity. Because of the costs inherent in buying or selling
Fund shares, frequent trading may detract significantly from investment results
and an investment in Fund shares may not be advisable for investors who
anticipate regularly making small investments through a brokerage
account.
Exchange
Trading Risk.
Trading in Shares on an exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for
reasons that, in the view of that exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable,
such as extraordinary market volatility or other reasons. Extraordinary market
volatility can lead to trading halts pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules of the
exchange or market. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet
the listing requirements of the exchange on which they trade, and the listing
requirements may be amended from time to time.

Agreement for the Funds is available in each Fund’s report filed on Form
N-CSR.
Fund
Sponsor
REX
Shares, LLC (“REX” or the "Sponsor"), a Delaware limited liability company,
located in Miami, Florida, is an independent sponsor of ETFs. The research of an
affiliate of REX was used in the creation of the Fund’s trading strategy. REX
does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act
in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Fund. REX is not related to the
Adviser, the Fund or any of the underlying stocks of the Fund. REX makes no
representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Shares or
any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities
generally or in the Shares in particular, or as to the ability of any Fund to
meet its investment objective.
The
Adviser has entered into an agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which the
Sponsor and the Adviser have jointly assumed the obligation of the Adviser to
pay all expenses of the Fund, except excluded expenses. The Sponsor will also
provide marketing support for the Fund including, but not limited to, providing
the Fund with access to and the use of the Sponsor’s marketing capabilities,
including leveraging the Sponsor’s expertise in developing marketing strategies
and communications through print and electronic media. For its services, the
Sponsor is entitled to a fee from the Adviser, which is calculated daily and
paid monthly, based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
The Sponsor does not act as a distributor to the Funds and does not sell shares
of the Funds. All Funds are distributed through the Distributor.
The
Portfolio Manager
Matthew
Tuttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser, has served as each Fund’s
portfolio manager since their inception. Matthew Tuttle has been involved in the
financial services industry since 1990. He has an MBA in finance from Boston
University and is the author of two financial books, Financial
Secrets of My Wealthy Grandparents
and How
Harvard and Yale Beat the Market.
He has been launching and managing ETFs since 2015.
The
SAI provides additional information about the portfolio manager’s compensation,
other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the portfolio manager’s
ownership in each Fund.
The
Trust
Each
Fund is a non-diversified series of the ETF Opportunities Trust, an open-end
management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March
18, 2019. The Board supervises the operations of the Funds according to
applicable state and federal law, and the Board is responsible for the overall
management of the Funds’ business affairs.
Portfolio
Holdings
A
description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure
of each Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ SAI. Complete
holdings are published on the Funds’ website on a daily basis. Please visit the
Fund’s website at www.rexshares.com. In addition, each Fund’s complete holdings
(as of the dates of such reports) are available in reports on Form N-PORT and
Form N-CSR filed with the SEC.
DISTRIBUTION
(12b-1) PLAN
For
all Funds, except T-REX 2X Long Alphabet Daily Target ETF, T-REX 2X Long Apple
Daily Target ETF, T-REX 2X Long DJT Daily Target ETF, T-REX 2X Long GME Daily

Target ETF
The
Board has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan (the “Plan”)
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. In accordance with the Plan, the Fund
is authorized to pay an amount up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets each
year for certain distribution-related activities and shareholder
services.
No
Rule 12b-1 fees are currently paid by the Fund, and there are no current plans
to impose these fees. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the
future, because the fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets, over time these fees
will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than certain
other types of sales charges.
HOW
TO BUY AND SELL SHARES
Most
investors will buy and sell shares of the Funds through broker-dealers at market
prices. Shares of the Funds are listed for trading on the Exchange and on the
secondary market during the trading day and can be bought and sold throughout
the trading day like other shares of publicly traded securities. Shares may only
be purchased and sold on the secondary market when the Exchange is open for
trading. The following table shows the trading symbol of each Fund.

When
buying or selling shares through a broker, you will incur customary brokerage
commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the
bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip
(purchase and sale) transaction.
The
NAV of the Funds’ shares is calculated at the close of regular trading on the
Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. New York time, on each day the Exchange is open.
The NAV of the Funds’ Shares is determined by dividing the total value of the
Funds’ portfolio investments and other assets, less any liabilities, by the
total number of Shares outstanding of the Funds.
In
calculating its NAV, the Funds generally value their assets on the basis of
market quotations, last sale prices, or estimates of value furnished by a
pricing service or brokers who make markets in such instruments.
Fair
value pricing is used by the Funds when market quotations are not readily
available or are deemed to be unreliable or inaccurate based on factors such as
evidence of a thin market in the security or a significant event occurring after
the close of the market but before the time as of which the Funds’ NAV is
calculated. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used
by the Funds to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for
the same securities.
APs
may acquire shares directly from the Funds, and APs may tender their shares for
redemption directly to the Funds, at NAV per share only in large blocks, or
Creation Units, as noted in the table below. Purchases and redemptions directly
with the Funds must follow the Funds’ procedures, which are described in the
SAI.

Under
normal circumstances, the Funds will pay out redemption proceeds to a redeeming
AP within two (2) days after the AP’s redemption request is received, in
accordance with the process set forth in the Funds’ SAI and in the agreement
between the AP and the Funds’ distributor. However, the Funds reserve the right,
including under stressed market conditions, to take up to seven (7) days after
the receipt of a redemption request to pay an AP, all as permitted by the 1940
Act. Each Fund anticipates regularly meeting redemption requests primarily in
cash, although each Fund reserves the right to pay all or portion of the
redemption proceeds to an AP in-kind. Cash used for redemptions will be raised
from the sale of portfolio assets or may come from existing holdings of cash or
cash equivalents.
Each
Fund may liquidate and terminate at any time without shareholder
approval.
Book
Entry
Shares
are held in book entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued.
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee is the record owner of all
outstanding shares and is recognized as the owner of all shares for all
purposes.
Investors
owning shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its
participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for all shares.
Participants in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust
companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or
indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. As a beneficial owner of
shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates
or to have shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a
registered owner of shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of
shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These
procedures are the same as those that apply to any other securities that you
hold in book entry or “street name” form.
FREQUENT
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES
Shares
can only be purchased and redeemed directly from the Funds in Creation Units by
APs, and the vast majority of trading in shares occurs on the secondary market.
Because the secondary market trades do not directly involve the Funds, it is
unlikely those trades would cause the harmful effects of market timing,
including dilution, disruption of portfolio management, increases in the Funds’
trading costs and the realization of capital gains. With regard to the purchase
or redemption of Creation Units directly with each Fund, to the extent effected
in-kind (i.e.,
for securities), those trades do not cause the harmful effects that may result
from frequent cash trades. To the extent trades are effected in whole or in part
in cash, those trades could result in dilution to the Funds and increased
transaction costs, which could negatively impact a Fund’s ability to achieve its
investment objective. However, direct trading by APs is critical to ensuring
that shares trade at or close to NAV. The Funds also employ fair valuation
pricing to minimize potential dilution from market timing. In addition, the
Funds impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of shares to cover
the custodial and other costs incurred by the Funds in effecting trades. These
fees increase if an investor substitutes cash in part or in whole for
securities, reflecting the fact that a Fund’s trading costs increase in those
circumstances. Given this structure, the Trust has determined that it is not
necessary to adopt policies and procedures to detect and deter market timing of
the shares.
DIVIDENDS,
OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
Shares
are traded throughout the day in the secondary market on a national securities
exchange on an intra-day basis and are created and redeemed in-kind and/or for
cash in Creation Units at each day’s next calculated NAV. The Funds currently
intend to create and redeem Creation Units in cash. Satisfying redemptions in
cash may result in the Fund selling portfolio securities to obtain cash to meet
net Fund redemptions which can have an adverse tax impact on taxable
shareholders. These sales may generate taxable gains for the ongoing
shareholders of the Fund. In-kind arrangements are designed to protect ongoing
shareholders from the adverse effects on a Fund’s portfolio that could arise
from frequent cash redemption transactions. In the event that a Fund redeems
Creation Units in-kind, the shares’ in-kind redemption mechanism generally will
not lead to a tax event for the Fund or its ongoing shareholders.
Ordinarily,
the Funds will distribute any net investment income and any net realized capital
gains annually. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of a
calendar year to comply with U.S. federal income tax requirements.
No
dividend reinvestment service is provided by the Funds. Broker-dealers may make
available the DTC book-entry Dividend Reinvestment Service for use by beneficial
owners of the Funds for reinvestment of their dividend distributions. Beneficial
owners should contact their broker to determine the availability and costs of
the service and the details of participation therein. Brokers may require
beneficial owners to adhere to specific procedures and timetables. If this
service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and
realized gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares of
the Fund purchased in the secondary market.
Distributions
in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole shares only if the
broker through whom you purchased shares makes such option
available.
Taxes
As
with any investment, you should consider how your investment in shares will be
taxed. The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general
information. You should consult your own tax professional about the tax
consequences of an investment in shares.
Unless
your investment in shares is made through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred
account, such as an individual retirement account, you need to be aware of the
possible tax consequences when:
-A
Fund makes distributions,
-You
sell your shares listed on the Exchange, and
-You
purchase or redeem Creation Units.
Taxes
on Distributions
Distributions
from each Fund’s net investment income, including net short-term capital gains,
if any, are taxable to you as ordinary income, except that each Fund’s dividends
attributable to its “qualified dividend income” (e.g.,
dividends received on stock of most domestic and certain foreign corporations
with respect to which the Fund satisfies certain holding period and other
requirements), if any, generally are subject to U.S. federal income tax for
non-corporate U.S. shareholders who satisfy those restrictions with respect to
their shares at the rate for net capital gain. A part of each Fund’s dividends
also may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to U.S.
corporations subject to similar requirements. However, dividends a corporate
U.S. shareholder deducts pursuant to that deduction are subject indirectly to
the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax. A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund
shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in
annual Fund operating expenses affect each Fund’s performance.
In
general, distributions received from each Fund are subject to U.S. federal
income tax when they are paid, whether taken in cash or reinvested in the Fund
(if that option is available). Distributions reinvested in additional shares
through the means of a dividend reinvestment service, if available, will be
taxable to shareholders acquiring the additional shares to the same extent as if
such distributions had been received in cash. Distributions of net long-term
capital gains, if any, in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as
long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held the shares in a
Fund.
Distributions
in excess of a Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated
as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your basis in the shares and as
capital gain thereafter. A distribution will reduce a Fund’s NAV per share and
may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain (as described above)
even though, from an investment standpoint, the distribution may constitute a
return of capital.
The
Funds are required to backup withhold twenty-four percent (24%) of your
distributions and redemption proceeds if you have not provided the Fund with a
correct Social Security number for individual(s) in the required manner and in
certain other situations.
Taxes
on Exchange-Listed Share Sales
Any
capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares is generally treated as
long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one
year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for one
year or less. The ability to deduct capital losses from sales of shares may be
limited.
Taxes
on Purchase and Redemption of Creation Units
An
Authorized Participant who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally
will recognize a gain or a loss equal to the difference between the market value
of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the sum of the exchanger’s
aggregate tax basis in the securities surrendered plus any cash it pays. An
Authorized Participant who exchanges Creation Units for securities will
generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the
exchanger’s tax basis in the Creation Units and the sum of the aggregate market
value of the securities received plus any cash received. The Internal Revenue
Service (“Service”), however, may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange
of securities for Creation Units cannot be deducted currently under the rules
governing “wash sales” or for other reasons. Persons exchanging securities
should consult their own tax adviser with respect to whether the wash sale rules
apply and when a loss might be deductible.
Any
capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Creation Units have been held
for more than one year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Creation
Units have been held for one year or less.
If
you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement
showing how many Creation Units you purchased or sold and at what price. See
“Taxes” in the SAI for a description of the requirement regarding basis
determination methods applicable to share redemptions (including redemptions of
Creation Units) and each Fund’s obligation to report basis information to the
Service.
At
the time that this prospectus is being prepared, various administrative and
legislative changes to the U.S. federal tax laws are under consideration, but it
is not possible at this time to determine whether any of these changes will take
place or what the changes might entail.
The
foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current
U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the Funds. It is not a
substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax adviser about the
potential tax consequences of an investment in the shares under all applicable
tax laws. See “Taxes” in the SAI for more information.

OTHER
INFORMATION
Continuous
Offering
The
method by which Creation Units of shares are created and traded may raise
certain issues under applicable securities laws. Because new Creation Units of
shares are issued and sold by the Funds on an ongoing basis, a “distribution,”
as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), may occur at any point. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned
that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result
in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which could
render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery
requirement and liability provisions of the Securities Act.
For
example, a broker-dealer firm or its client may be deemed a statutory
underwriter if it takes Creation Units after placing an order with the
Distributor, breaks them down into constituent shares and sells the shares
directly to customers or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new
shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market
demand for shares. A determination of whether one is an underwriter for purposes
of the Securities Act must take into account all the facts and circumstances
pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the
particular case, and the examples mentioned above should not be considered a
complete description of all the activities that could lead to a characterization
as an underwriter.
Broker-dealer
firms should also note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are effecting
transactions in shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of
shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the
prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act is not
available in respect of such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the
1940 Act. As a result, broker-dealer firms should note that dealers who are not
“underwriters” but are participating in a distribution (as contrasted with
engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions) and thus dealing with the
shares that are part of an overallotment within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C)
of
the
Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery
exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act. For delivery of
prospectuses to exchange members, the prospectus delivery mechanism of Rule 153
under the Securities Act is only available with respect to transactions on a
national exchange.
Dealers
effecting transactions in the shares, whether or not participating in this
distribution, are generally required to deliver a Prospectus. This is in
addition to any obligation of dealers to deliver a Prospectus when acting as
underwriters.
Premium/Discount
Information
When
available, information regarding how often the shares of each Fund traded on the
Exchange at a price above (i.e., at
a premium) or below (i.e., at
a discount) the NAV of each Fund will be available at
www.rexshares.com.
FINANCIAL
HIGHLIGHTS
The
following table is intended to help you better understand the financial
performance of the Funds since their inception. Certain information reflects
financial results for a single share of each Fund. The total return in the table
represents the rate you would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each
Fund, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The information
has been audited by Cohen & Company, Ltd., the independent registered public
accounting firm of the Funds, whose report, along with the Funds’ financial
statements, is included in the Funds’ annual report to shareholders. The annual
report is available from the Funds upon request without charge.
