Principal Investment Strategies for the Funds
Definitions.
As used in
this section, "Funds" refers to each series described in this prospectus that
employs the structured outcome strategy described below. Certain Funds are
designed to provide a 10% downside buffer (the "10% Buffer Funds"), certain
Funds are designed to provide a 15% downside buffer (the "15% Buffer Funds"),
certain Funds are designed to provide a Deep Buffer (the "Deep Buffer Funds"),
and certain Funds are designed to provide a 100% downside buffer (the "100%
Buffer Fund"). Each Fund references an exchange-traded fund as its "Underlying
ETF." For Funds that reference SPDR
®
S&P
500
®
ETF
Trust, such Funds are referred to as the "S&P 500 Underlying Funds." For
Funds that reference Invesco QQQ Trust
SM
,
Series 1, such Funds are referred to as the "Nasdaq-100 Underlying Funds."For
Funds that reference iShares
®
Russell
2000 ETF, such Funds are referred to as the "Russell 2000 Underlying Funds." For
Funds that reference iShares
®
MSCI
EAFE ETF, such Funds are referred to as the "MSCI EAFE Underlying Funds." For
Funds that reference iShares
®
MSCI
Emerging Markets ETF, such Funds are referred to as the "Emerging Markets
Underlying Funds." Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the
"Buffer" refer to the applicable Fund's buffer design, which may be a first-loss
buffer (10% for the 10% Buffer Funds and 15% for the 15% Buffer Funds), a Buffer
Zone (for the Deep Buffer Funds, as described below), or a 100% Buffer (for the
100% Buffer Funds), as applicable.
Structure Overview; 80%
Policy; Core Instruments.
Each Fund is designed to seek certain target
results (the "Outcomes"), including an upside cap (the "Cap") and a downside
buffer (the "Buffer"), based on the performance of its Underlying ETF's share
price (i.e., its "price return") over an approximately one-year Outcome Period.
Under normal circumstances, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets
(plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide
exposure to its Underlying ETF, consistent with the Fund's policy adopted
pursuant to Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act. Each Fund obtains this exposure
primarily through FLEXible EXchange
®
Options
("FLEX Options") on its Underlying ETF. FLEX Options are exchange-traded options
with terms that may be customized within exchange guidelines. While FLEX Options
are cleared and guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation
("OCC"), they remain subject to risks associated with the clearinghouse and may
be less liquid than more standardized listed options. Because each Fund uses
options to pursue its objectives, an investment in a Fund has return
characteristics that differ from many traditional investment vehicles, and
investors should understand these characteristics before investing. The Fund's
unique characteristics, including the Cap, the Buffer, and the importance of
holding Shares for the entire Outcome Period, distinguish it from other
investment products and may make it an unsuitable investment for some investors.
Options Mechanics; Reference
Assets and Associated Exposures.
In general, an option is a contract
between a buyer and a seller that provides the buyer the right, but not the
obligation, to buy or sell a specified asset at an agreed price on (or before) a
specified date. Each Fund's FLEX Options reference the Fund's Underlying ETF.
S&P 500-linked Underlying
ETF.
For Funds that use SPDR
®
S&P
500
®
ETF
Trust as the Underlying ETF, the Underlying ETF is an exchange-traded unit
investment trust that seeks to track, before expenses, the price and yield
performance of the S&P 500
®
Index.
The Underlying ETF invests in U.S. equity securities, including securities of
large-capitalization U.S. companies, and accordingly provides exposure to U.S.
equities for purposes of the Fund's name. As a result of a Fund's exposure to
this Underlying ETF through FLEX Options, the Fund is expected to have
meaningful exposure to sectors with significant weights in the Underlying ETF,
which may include the information technology sector.
Nasdaq-100-linked Underlying
ETF.
For Funds that use Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 as the Underlying
ETF, the Underlying ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to track, before
expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq-100® Index, which is composed of 100 of
the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The
Nasdaq-100® Index is widely recognized as a growth-oriented index with
significant concentration in technology and technology-related companies, due to
its significant weighting in companies exhibiting above-average revenue and
earnings growth characteristics. The Underlying ETF invests in equity securities
of these 100 companies, and accordingly provides exposure to growth-oriented
technology equity securities for purposes of the Fund’s name. The Underlying ETF
may have significant exposure to sectors with larger weights in the Nasdaq-100®,
which may include the information technology and communication services sectors.
Russell 2000-linked Underlying
ETF.
For Funds that use iShares
®
Russell
2000 ETF as the Underlying ETF, the Underlying ETF is an exchange-traded fund
that seeks to track, before expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000
®
Index (generally, U.S. small-capitalization companies). The Underlying ETF
invests in equity securities and, because the Russell 2000
®
Index is
composed primarily of small-cap companies, a Fund's exposure to this Underlying
ETF through FLEX Options is expected to provide meaningful exposure to small-cap
equities, which may be more volatile and, at times, less liquid than large-cap
securities. The Fund also may have meaningful exposure to sectors that represent
significant weights in the Russell 2000
®
Index at
any given time.
MSCI EAFE-linked Underlying
ETF.
For Funds that use iShares
®
MSCI
EAFE ETF as the Underlying ETF, the Underlying ETF is an exchange-traded fund
that seeks to track, before expenses, the performance of the MSCI EAFE
®
Index
(generally, large- and mid-capitalization companies located in developed markets
outside the United States and Canada). The Underlying ETF invests primarily in
international developed market equity securities, and accordingly provides
exposure to international developed equities for purposes of the Fund's name.
The Underlying ETF's holdings are generally denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar. As a result of a Fund's exposure to this Underlying ETF through
FLEX Options, the Fund is expected to have meaningful exposure to developed
markets outside the United States, including the risks of foreign markets and
currency movements, and to countries, regions, and sectors with significant
weights in the MSCI EAFE
®
Index at
any given time.
Emerging Markets-linked
Underlying ETF.
For Funds that use iShares
®
MSCI
Emerging Markets ETF as the Underlying ETF, the Underlying ETF is an
exchange-traded fund that seeks to track, before expenses, the performance of
the MSCI Emerging Markets
®
Index
(generally, large- and mid-capitalization companies located in emerging market
countries). The Underlying ETF invests primarily in emerging markets equity
securities, and accordingly provides exposure to emerging markets equities for
purposes of the Fund's name. The Underlying ETF's holdings are generally
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result of a Fund's
exposure to this Underlying ETF through FLEX Options, the Fund is expected to
have meaningful exposure to emerging markets, including heightened political,
regulatory, economic, currency, and liquidity risks, and to countries, regions,
and sectors with significant weights in the MSCI Emerging Markets
®
Index at
any given time.
Additional information
regarding the Underlying ETFs is provided under the Funds' disclosure that
describes the Underlying ETFs and their associated risks and sector exposures.
Outcome Period Framework;
Rolling Implementation.
Each Fund's Outcomes are measured over an
approximately one-year period beginning on the first business day of the Fund’s
designated Outcome Period start month and ending approximately one year later
(each, an "Outcome Period"). At the end of an Outcome Period, the Fund expects
to realize the cash value of the FLEX Options held for that period and then
establish a new set of FLEX Options with expirations generally about one year
out, beginning a new Outcome Period. The Fund is a continuous investment vehicle
and will not terminate at the conclusion of any Outcome Period. A new Cap is
established at the beginning of each new Outcome Period and is determined based
on prevailing market conditions at that time, including then-current interest
rate levels, volatility in the Underlying ETF's share price, and the pricing of
the FLEX Options. As a result, the Cap is expected to change from one Outcome
Period to the next and may be higher or lower than the prior Outcome Period's
Cap. The Fund's initial Outcome Period may be shorter than one year, beginning
on the Fund's listing date and ending on the last business day before the Fund's
designated Outcome Period start month; following the initial Outcome Period, the
Fund will transition to approximately one-year Outcome Periods as described
above. Approximately one week prior to the end of each Outcome Period, the Fund
will file a prospectus supplement disclosing the anticipated Cap range for the
next Outcome Period. Following the close of business on the last day of the
Outcome Period, the Fund will file a prospectus supplement disclosing the final
Cap (both before and after the Fund's management fee) for the next Outcome
Period. This information will also be available on the Fund's website at
www.corgifunds.com. The intended Outcomes are generally applicable only to
investors who hold Shares continuously from the start of an Outcome Period
through its end. Investors who purchase Shares after the Outcome Period begins
or sell Shares before it ends may experience returns that differ, potentially
materially, from the Outcomes described for a full Outcome Period holding.
Return Profile; Price Return
Focus; No Dividend Exposure.
Each Fund's strategy is structured to seek
the Outcomes based on the Underlying ETF's price return over the Outcome Period.
Because the Fund obtains exposure primarily through options, it generally will
not receive the benefit of dividend payments made by the Underlying ETF to the
extent of its FLEX Options positions. Accordingly, the Fund is not intended as
an income-oriented investment.
Use of FLEX Options;
European-Style Contracts; Strike Selection.
Each Fund seeks to achieve its
targeted Outcomes by using a structured portfolio of exchange-listed FLEX
Options--customized call and put option contracts--designed to create layered
exposure to the Underlying ETF. Each FLEX Option references the Underlying ETF
and is generally established to expire on the last day of the applicable Outcome
Period. Because FLEX Options are customizable, the Adviser selects the exercise
price for each contract (the "strike price") at the start of the Outcome Period
and sets strikes so that, if the FLEX Options are held through expiration, the
Fund may be positioned to deliver the intended Outcomes based on the Underlying
ETF's performance over the Outcome Period. The Fund utilizes European-style
option contracts, which are exercisable only on the expiration date.
How the Option Positions Work
(Calls and Puts).
To pursue the Outcomes, a Fund may buy and sell a
combination of call and put option contracts. A call option gives the buyer the
right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the writer (seller) to
sell, a specified amount of an underlying security at a pre-determined price. A
put option gives the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to sell, and
obligates the writer (seller) to buy (if exercised), a specified amount of an
underlying security at a pre-determined price.
Upside Exposure Subject to the
Cap.
A Fund's call option positions are intended to provide participation
in increases in the Underlying ETF's share price up to a maximum return level
(the "Cap"). The Fund will not participate in gains that exceed the Cap.
Downside Protection Subject to
the Buffer.
Each Fund is designed to seek returns that are buffered
against losses in the Underlying ETF during the Outcome Period through its put
option positions. There is no guarantee that a Fund will be successful in its
attempt to provide buffered returns.
10% Buffer Funds.
For
Funds with a 10% Buffer, the Buffer is only operative against the first 10% of
Underlying ETF losses for the Outcome Period. After the Underlying ETF's share
price has decreased by more than 10%, the Fund will experience all subsequent
losses on a one-to-one basis. As a result, if the Underlying ETF's share price
has decreased in value over the course of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to
return the amount of a shareholder's principal investment (if the Underlying
ETF's share price decreased by 10% or less) or experience a loss that is 10%
less than the loss experienced by the Underlying ETF (if the Underlying ETF's
share price decreased by more than 10%).
15% Buffer Funds.
For
Funds with a 15% Buffer, the Buffer is only operative against the first 15% of
Underlying ETF losses for the Outcome Period. After the Underlying ETF's share
price has decreased by more than 15%, the Fund will experience all subsequent
losses on a one-to-one basis. As a result, if the Underlying ETF's share price
has decreased in value over the course of the Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to
return the amount of a shareholder's principal investment (if the Underlying
ETF's share price decreased by 15% or less) or experience a loss that is 15%
less than the loss experienced by the Underlying ETF (if the Underlying ETF's
share price decreased by more than 15%).
Deep Buffer Funds
. For
the Funds with a Deep Buffer (the "Deep Buffer Fund"), the Buffer is intended to
be operative only for losses of the Underlying ETF's price return that fall
between -5% and -35% for the Outcome Period (the "Buffer Zone"). The Deep Buffer
Fund is intended to experience losses on a one-to-one basis for the first -5% of
Underlying ETF losses (the "First Loss"), and then seek to provide a buffer
against losses within the Buffer Zone. If the Underlying ETF's price return
declines by more than -35% over the Outcome Period, the Fund is expected to
experience losses beyond that level on a one-to-one basis. As a result, if the
Underlying ETF's price return has decreased over the course of the Outcome
Period, the Fund seeks to (i) experience losses similar to the Underlying ETF
for the first -5% of losses, (ii) limit additional losses within the Buffer
Zone, and (iii) experience losses beyond the Buffer Zone on a one-to-one basis.
100% Buffer Funds.
For
Funds with a 100% Buffer (the "100% Buffer Fund"), the Buffer is intended to
protect against 100% of losses of the Underlying ETF's price return, measured
from the Underlying ETF's price at the beginning of the Outcome Period, only at
the conclusion of the Outcome Period for shareholders who hold Shares for the
entire Outcome Period. If the Underlying ETF's price return is negative over the
Outcome Period, the Fund seeks to limit the shareholder's loss attributable to
that price return (prior to fees and expenses), subject to the terms and risks
described in this prospectus. The Buffer is not principal protection and does
not protect against losses attributable to (among other things) Fund fees and
expenses, trading costs, and losses that may be realized by shareholders who
purchase Shares after the beginning of the Outcome Period or sell Shares before
the end of the Outcome Period.
Consistency of FLEX Option
Terms During the Outcome Period.
The FLEX Options a Fund enters into
during an Outcome Period are expected to have the same or similar terms
(including strike price and expiration) as the corresponding FLEX Options
established on the first day of that Outcome Period.
The Outcome Period; Holding
Requirement; Purchase and Sale Timing.
The Outcomes sought by a Fund are
based upon the Fund's NAV at the outset of the Outcome Period. The Outcome
Period begins on the day the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and ends on the
day they expire. Each FLEX Option's value is ultimately derived from the
performance of the Underlying ETF's share price during the Outcome Period.
Because the terms of the FLEX Options do not change, the Cap and Buffer relate
to the Fund's NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period.
A shareholder who purchases
Shares after the commencement of the Outcome Period will likely have purchased
Shares at a different NAV than the NAV on the first day of the Outcome Period
(i.e., the NAV upon which the Outcomes are based) and may experience investment
outcomes very different from those sought by the Fund. Since the FLEX Options
are exercisable only on the final day of the Outcome Period, a shareholder who
sells Shares prior to the end of the Outcome Period may also experience
investment outcomes very different from those sought by the Fund. To seek the
Outcomes for an Outcome Period, an investor generally must hold Shares at the
time the Fund enters into the FLEX Options and through the day those FLEX
Options expire. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its
attempt to provide the Outcomes.
NAV Behavior During the
Outcome Period.
The value of a Fund's FLEX Options is derived from the
performance of the Underlying ETF's share price, but option values also reflect
time remaining until expiration. Accordingly, during the Outcome Period, the
Fund's NAV will not directly correlate on a day-to-day basis with the returns
experienced by the Underlying ETF. The Adviser generally anticipates that the
Fund's NAV will increase on days when the Underlying ETF's share price increases
and will decrease on days when the Underlying ETF's share price decreases, but
the rate of such increase or decrease will generally be less than that
experienced by the Underlying ETF.
Similarly, the amount of time
remaining until the end of the Outcome Period affects the extent to which the
Buffer is reflected in the Fund's NAV, which may not be in full effect prior to
the end of the Outcome Period. The Fund's strategy is designed to produce the
Outcomes upon the expiration of the FLEX Options on the last day of the Outcome
Period and it should not be expected that the Outcomes will be achieved at any
point prior to that time.
Considerations for Investors
Holding Shares Over Multiple Outcome Periods.
An investor that holds
Shares through multiple Outcome Periods may fail to experience gains comparable
to those of the Underlying ETF over time because, at the end of each Outcome
Period, a new Cap will be established based on the then-current price of the
Underlying ETF and any gains experienced by the Underlying ETF above the prior
Cap will be forfeited. Similarly, an investor that holds Shares through multiple
Outcome Periods will be unable to recapture losses from prior Outcome Periods
because, at the end of each Outcome Period, a new Buffer will be established
based on the then-current price of the Underlying ETF and any losses experienced
below the Buffer will be locked-in. Moreover, the annual imposition of a new Cap
on future gains may make it difficult to recoup losses from prior Outcome
Periods such that, over multiple Outcome Periods, the Fund may have losses that
exceed those of the Underlying ETF.
Cap Details; Cap Variability;
How the Cap Is Established.
A Fund's upside return potential for an
Outcome Period is subject to the Cap, which represents the maximum percentage
return an investor can achieve from an investment in the Fund over the Outcome
Period. Therefore, even though the Fund's returns are based upon the performance
of the Underlying ETF's share price, if the Underlying ETF's share price
experiences returns in excess of the Cap, the Fund will not participate in those
excess returns.
The Cap is
determined on the first day of the Outcome Period and is [ ]% prior to taking
into account fees or expenses. After taking into account the Fund's annual
management fee of 0.30% (net of fee waiver) of the Fund's average daily net
assets, the Cap is [ ]%. The Cap will be further reduced by any shareholder
transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and expenses, and any extraordinary
expenses incurred by the Fund. For purposes of this prospectus, "extraordinary
expenses" are non-recurring expenses that may be incurred by the Fund outside of
the ordinary course of its business, including, without limitation, costs
incurred in connection with any claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation,
government investigation or similar proceedings, indemnification expenses and
expenses in connection with holding and/or soliciting proxies for a meeting of
Fund shareholders. The Cap is also set forth on the Fund's website.
The Cap will change from one
Outcome Period to the next based upon prevailing market conditions at the
beginning of the Outcome Period. The Cap, and the Fund's position relative to
it, should be considered before investing. If an investor is considering
purchasing Shares during the Outcome Period and the Fund has already increased
in value to a level near the Cap, an investor purchasing Shares at that price
has limited to no gains available for the remainder of the Outcome Period but
remains vulnerable to significant downside risks. There is no guarantee that the
Fund will successfully achieve its investment objective.
How the Cap is
established.
The Cap results from the design of the Fund's principal
investment strategy. In order to provide the Buffer, the Fund enters into a
series of FLEX Option contracts. As the purchaser of certain FLEX Options, the
Fund pays a premium to the seller of those options. The strategy is designed so
that premiums the Fund pays are generally offset by premiums it receives from
selling other FLEX Options. On the first day of the Outcome Period, the
portfolio managers calculate the premium amount the Fund expects to pay to
establish the Buffer and then sell a call FLEX Option intended to generate
premium in an amount equal to that cost. The Cap is the strike price of that
sold call FLEX Option. The strike price is determined based on prevailing market
conditions when the Fund enters into the FLEX Options, including current
interest rate levels, volatility in the Underlying ETF's share price, and the
relative pricing of puts and calls in the FLEX Options market.
Buffer Fee Impact (Gross vs.
Net Buffer).
The Buffer is provided prior to taking into account the
Fund's annual management fee, transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and
expenses, and any extraordinary expenses incurred by the Fund, each of which
will reduce the effective Buffer. When the Fund's annual management fee of 0.30%
(net of fee waiver) is taken into account, the net Buffer for an Outcome Period
is [ ]% (for a 10% Buffer Fund) / [ ]% (for a 15% Buffer Fund).
For the Deep Buffer Funds, the
impact of fees and expenses reduces the effective scope of the Buffer Zone.
Although a Deep Buffer Fund seeks to provide a buffer within a specified loss
range, the effective Buffer Zone applicable for an Outcome Period will be
reduced by the Fund's annual management fee, transaction fees, any acquired fund
fees and expenses, and other Fund expenses. As a result, the portion of losses
that may be buffered within the Buffer Zone may be smaller than the gross Buffer
Zone established at the beginning of the Outcome Period.
For the 100% Buffer Funds, the
Buffer is provided prior to taking into account fees and expenses, and the
Fund's annual management fee, transaction fees, any acquired fund fees and
expenses, and any extraordinary expenses may reduce the effective level of
protection. As a result, although the Fund seeks to provide a buffer against
100% of losses measured from the beginning of the Outcome Period, the net Buffer
applicable at the conclusion of the Outcome Period may be less than 100%.
The Fund's strategy is designed
to produce the Outcomes upon the expiration of its FLEX Options on the last day
of the Outcome Period. Therefore, it should not be expected that the Buffer,
including the net effect of the Fund's annual management fee on the Buffer, will
be provided at any point prior to the last day of the Outcome Period.
Risks of Purchasing Shares
During the Outcome Period.
If an investor is considering purchasing Shares
during the Outcome Period and the Fund has already decreased in value by an
amount equal to or greater than the Buffer amount, an investor purchasing Shares
at that price may have increased gains available prior to reaching the Cap but
may not benefit from the Buffer for the remainder of the Outcome Period.
Conversely, if an investor is considering purchasing Shares during the Outcome
Period and the Fund has already increased in value, the investor may experience
losses prior to gaining the protection offered by the Buffer, which is not
guaranteed.
For the Deep Buffer Funds, the
Buffer is intended to apply only within a specified loss range ("the Buffer
Zone"), and the Fund is intended to experience losses on a one-to-one basis for
the first portion of losses (the "First Loss") and for losses beyond the Buffer
Zone. As a result, an investor who purchases shares during the Outcome Period
may not benefit from the Buffer if the Fund has already experienced losses
within or beyond the Buffer Zone at the time of purchase.
For the 100% Buffer Funds, the
Buffer is measured from the Underlying ETF's price at the beginning of the
Outcome Period and applies only at the conclusion of the Outcome Period. If the
Underlying ETF's price has increased in value since the beginning of the Outcome
Period, any appreciation attributable to that increase will not be protected by
the Buffer, and an investor purchasing Shares during the Outcome Period may
experience losses that are not protected by the Buffer.
A shareholder that purchases
Shares at the beginning of the Outcome Period may lose their entire investment.
While a 10% Buffer Fund seeks to limit losses to 90% for shareholders who hold
Shares for the entire Outcome Period, a 15% Buffer Fund seeks to limit losses to
85%, a Deep Buffer Fund seeks to limit losses only within the applicable Buffer
Zone, and a 100% Buffer Fund seeks to provide a buffer against up to 100% of
losses measured from the beginning of the Outcome Period, only at the conclusion
of the Outcome Period, there is no guarantee any Fund will successfully do so.
Depending upon market conditions at the time of purchase, a shareholder that
purchases Shares after the Outcome Period has begun may also lose their entire
investment. An investment in the Fund is only appropriate for shareholders
willing to bear those losses.
Fund Rebalance; Continuous
Operation.
Each Fund is a continuous investment vehicle. It does not
terminate and distribute its assets at the conclusion of each Outcome Period. On
the last day of an Outcome Period, the Adviser will generally establish a new
set of FLEX Options and a new Outcome Period will commence.
Prospectus Supplements and
Website Disclosure.
Approximately one week prior to the end of each
Outcome Period, a Fund expects to file a prospectus supplement to alert existing
shareholders that an Outcome Period is approaching its conclusion and to
disclose anticipated ranges for the Cap for the next Outcome Period. Following
the close of business on the last day of the Outcome Period, the Fund expects to
file a prospectus supplement disclosing the Fund's final Cap (both gross and net
of the unitary management fee) for the next Outcome Period. The Fund's website
provides daily information regarding the Outcomes, including the Fund's position
relative to the Cap and Buffer. The Fund's website, www.corgifunds.com, provides
information relating to the Outcomes, including the Fund's position relative to
the Cap and Buffer, of an investment in the Fund on a daily basis.
Diversification Status.
Each Fund is classified as a "non-diversified" company under the 1940 Act.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Funds
The principal risks of
investing in the Funds are listed below. Each risk summarized below is regarded
as a "principal risk" of investing in at least one Fund, regardless of the order
in which it appears. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of
principal. Any of the risks described can adversely affect a Fund's NAV, market
price, income, or total return. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect
a Fund's NAV per share price, yield, total return, and/or a Fund's ability to
achieve its objective.
ETF Risks (Applicable to all
Funds).
Each Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and is subject to
risks associated with ETF structure and secondary-market trading. These include
potential reliance on a limited number of market makers and Authorized
Participants, the possibility that Shares trade at prices different from NAV,
and the trading and transaction-cost considerations described below.
●
Authorized Participants,
Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.
Each Fund relies
on a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase
and redeem Creation Units directly with the Fund (each, an Authorized
Participant or "AP"). There may also be a limited number of market makers and
other liquidity providers active in Shares. If (i) APs exit the business, become
unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and no other APs step in,
or (ii) market makers and/or other liquidity providers leave the market or
materially scale back their activity and no replacements emerge, Shares may
trade at a material discount to NAV and, in extreme cases, could face delisting.
●
Costs of Buying or Selling
Shares.
Investors who trade Shares in the secondary market will pay
brokerage commissions or other charges set by their broker. Commissions are
often fixed amounts and can be a significant proportional cost for investors
transacting in small sizes. Secondary-market investors also bear the bid-ask
spread. The spread varies over time with trading volume and market liquidity;
generally narrower when trading volume and liquidity are higher and wider when
they are lower. A relatively small investor base, sizable asset flows into or
out of a Fund, and/or periods of elevated market volatility may widen spreads.
Because commissions and spreads add to trading costs, frequent trading of Shares
can materially reduce returns and may be inadvisable for investors who expect to
make regular, small purchases or sales.
●
Shares May Trade at Prices
Other Than NAV.
As with all ETFs, Shares trade on an exchange at market
prices that may differ from a Fund's NAV. At times, Shares may trade at an
intraday premium (above NAV) or discount (below NAV) due to supply and demand
for Shares or during volatile markets. This risk can be heightened in periods of
market stress, sharp market declines, or when secondary-market trading activity
in Shares is limited, in which case premiums or discounts may be significant.
●
Trading.
Although Shares
are listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") and may trade
on other U.S. exchanges, there is no assurance that Shares will trade with
active volume, or trade at all, on any exchange. In stressed market conditions,
the liquidity of Shares and the liquidity of a Fund's portfolio holdings may
deteriorate.
Defined Outcome Strategy Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
Because the Funds use a defined outcome
approach, they are exposed to risks that differ from those of conventional
funds. The Fund's defined outcome strategy may not be appropriate for all
investors. These strategy-specific risks include the following.
●
Buffer and Outcome Period
Timing Risk.
The Funds' strategy is intended to provide a buffer against
Underlying ETF losses over an Outcome Period, based on the applicable Fund's
Buffer design (including a 10% first-loss buffer, a 15% first-loss buffer, a
Deep Buffer that applies only within a specified loss range (the "Buffer Zone"),
or a 100% Buffer) but there is no assurance the Funds will do so. The buffer is
not principal protection, and a shareholder may lose some or all of their
investment, including the entire investment. The intended buffered result is
generally sought only for shareholders who hold Shares beginning when a Fund
establishes its FLEX Options positions and continuing through the expiration of
those FLEX Options at the end of the Outcome Period. Investors who buy Shares
after the FLEX Options are established or sell Shares before they expire may not
receive the intended buffer and should expect returns that differ, potentially
materially, from the outcomes the Funds seek.
For the Deep Buffer Funds,
the Buffer is intended to apply only within the Buffer Zone, and the Fund is
expected to experience losses on a one-to-one basis for the First Loss and for
losses beyond the Buffer Zone. If the Underlying ETF has increased in value
since the beginning of the Outcome Period, any appreciation attributable to that
increase will not be protected by the Buffer for an investor who purchases
Shares during the Outcome Period.
For the 100% Buffer Funds, the Buffer
is measured from the Underlying ETF's price at the beginning of the Outcome
Period and applies only at FLEX Options expiration; shareholders who purchase
Shares after the Outcome Period begins may experience losses that are not
protected by the Buffer. If the Underlying ETF has increased in value since the
beginning of the Outcome Period, any appreciation attributable to that increase
will not be protected by the Buffer for an investor who purchases Shares during
the Outcome Period. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve
the stated Outcomes. Investors who purchase Shares after the Outcome Period
begins can view their expected outcome through the end of the Outcome Period by
visiting www.corgifunds.com.
●
Cap and Upside Participation
Risk.
The Funds' potential gains for an Outcome Period are limited by a
maximum return level (the "Cap"). If the Underlying ETF appreciates by more than
the Cap during an Outcome Period, the Funds will not participate in returns
above the Cap and will underperform the Underlying ETF by the amount of that
excess appreciation. In addition, there can be no guarantee that the Funds will
successfully provide shareholders with a total return that matches increases in
the Underlying ETF over the Outcome Period up to the Cap. Because the strategy
is designed to align with the Underlying ETF's price return (subject to the Cap)
at the end of the Outcome Period, an investor who sells Shares prior to FLEX
Options expiration may do so when the Funds' performance does not correspond to
the Underlying ETF's performance over the Outcome Period and may therefore
realize returns that are worse than the Underlying ETF's returns over that same
period. Investors purchasing Shares after a Fund has already appreciated during
an Outcome Period may have little or no remaining upside before the Cap is
reached, yet remain exposed to downside risk.
●
Transaction Fee and Mid-Period
Trading Risk.
The Funds seek to manage their portfolios so that transaction
fees incurred in connection with managing a Fund's assets do not impair its
ability to provide upside exposure or achieve returns consistent with the Cap
when the Underlying ETF's returns are equal to or exceed the Cap; however, there
is no guarantee the Funds will be able to do so. More generally, because the
strategy's intended return profile is designed to be realized at FLEX Options
expiration, investors who trade Shares during an Outcome Period--including
purchases after the FLEX Options are entered into or sales before they
expire--may experience returns that do not match those the Funds seek to
provide.
●
Cap Reset Risk.
A new Cap
is established at the beginning of each Outcome Period and is dependent on
prevailing market conditions at the time the Cap is established. As such, the
Cap may rise or fall from one Outcome Period to the next and is unlikely to
remain the same for consecutive Outcome Periods.
●
Limited Shareholder Rights
Risk (Applicable to all Funds).
The Trust is organized as a Delaware
statutory trust and is governed by its Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which
limits certain shareholder rights. For example, the Trust generally does not
hold annual meetings, and the Board can take certain actions without a
shareholder vote (including, in some cases, liquidating the Fund). The governing
documents also impose procedures on certain shareholder lawsuits, require
certain claims (other than federal securities law claims) to be brought in
Delaware courts, include a waiver of the right to a jury trial for certain
claims (other than federal securities law claims), and limit the liability of,
and provide indemnification for, Trustees and officers, subject to applicable
law. These provisions may make it harder or more costly for shareholders to
bring claims or influence Trust or Fund governance.
●
Initial Outcome Period Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
The Fund's initial Outcome Period is expected to
be shorter than subsequent Outcome Periods, beginning on the Fund's listing date
and ending before the start of the Fund's first full annual Outcome Period.
Because the initial Outcome Period is shorter, the Cap for the initial Outcome
Period will generally be lower than the Cap that would be established for a full
one-year Outcome Period under similar market conditions, as the options premiums
available to generate upside participation are reduced over a shorter time
horizon. The full Buffer percentage will apply during the initial Outcome
Period; however, because the Fund's fees and expenses will reduce the effective
Buffer over any period, the net impact of fees on the Buffer may represent a
larger proportion of the shorter period's return. Investors who purchase Shares
during the initial Outcome Period should understand that the return profile,
including the Cap, will differ from the return profile of subsequent full-year
Outcome Periods. Following the initial Outcome Period, the Fund will transition
to approximately one-year Outcome Periods.
●
Multiple Outcome Period Risk.
Investors who hold Shares through multiple Outcome Periods may experience
returns that trail the Underlying ETF over time. Gains above the Cap in one
Outcome Period are forfeited, while losses below the Buffer are locked in and
cannot be recovered in subsequent Outcome Periods. Over multiple Outcome
Periods, these effects may cause the Fund to underperform the Underlying ETF
materially.
For the Deep Buffer
Funds, losses incurred during the First Loss portion or losses that extend
beyond the Buffer Zone during an Outcome Period are locked in at the end of that
Outcome Period and cannot be recovered in subsequent Outcome Periods. As a
result, holding Shares through multiple Outcome Periods may compound the effects
of losses experienced outside the Buffer Zone and increase the likelihood that
the Fund underperforms the Underlying ETF over time.
For the 100% Buffer
Funds, the Buffer is measured from the Underlying ETF's price at the beginning
of each Outcome Period and applies only at the conclusion of that Outcome
Period. Any losses experienced due to purchases made after the start of an
Outcome Period, or any foregone gains resulting from the imposition of a Cap at
the conclusion of an Outcome Period, are not recoverable in subsequent Outcome
Periods. As a result, investors who hold Shares through multiple Outcome Periods
may experience returns that materially trail those of the Underlying ETF over
time.
FLEX Options and Derivatives
Risk (Applicable to all Funds).
The Funds will use FLEX Options that are
issued and guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation
("OCC"). Although the OCC is the central counterparty for these transactions,
the Funds are subject to the risk that the OCC is unable or unwilling to meet
its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. In the unlikely event the OCC
becomes insolvent or otherwise cannot satisfy its settlement obligations, the
Funds could incur significant losses. In addition, FLEX Options may trade in
less liquid markets than certain other instruments, including standardized
options. In periods of reduced liquidity, the Funds may have difficulty closing
out FLEX Options positions at the times and prices they prefer. This liquidity
constraint can also affect the Funds' creation and redemption process: if market
participants are unwilling or unable to enter into FLEX Options transactions
with a Fund at prices that reflect the market price of the Fund's Shares, the
Fund's NAV--and in turn the market price of its Shares--could be adversely
affected. The Funds may experience substantial losses related to particular FLEX
Options positions, and some FLEX Options positions may expire worthless. FLEX
Options held by the Funds are exercisable at the strike price on their
expiration date. As expiration approaches, a FLEX Option's value typically moves
more closely with the value of the Underlying ETF. Before that time, however,
FLEX Options generally will not increase or decrease at the same rate as the
Underlying ETF on a day-to-day basis (even if they tend to move in the same
direction). The Funds will value their FLEX Options based on market quotations
or other recognized pricing methods. The value of FLEX Options is influenced by,
among other factors, changes in the Underlying ETF's share price, interest
rates, actual and implied volatility of the Underlying ETF, and the time
remaining until expiration.
Option Contracts Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
The use of option contracts involves strategies
and risks that differ from investing in ordinary portfolio securities. Option
prices may be volatile and are affected by factors such as actual and
anticipated changes in the value of the underlying instrument, changes in
interest rates or currency exchange rates, fiscal and monetary policies,
national and international political and economic events, changes in the actual
or implied volatility of the reference asset, and the time remaining until
expiration. At times, movements in option values may not correlate perfectly
with movements in the reference asset, and there may not be a liquid secondary
market for certain option contracts. The Funds have taken steps to comply with
Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Rule 18f-4"),
in connection with their use of FLEX Options. The Funds have adopted and
implement a derivatives risk management program with policies and procedures
reasonably designed to manage derivatives risks, have appointed a derivatives
risk manager responsible for administering that program, comply with applicable
limits on derivatives-related risks, and provide enhanced reporting to the
Board, the SEC, and the public regarding derivatives activities. If a Fund is
not in compliance with Rule 18f-4, the Fund may be required to adjust its
portfolio, which could negatively affect the Fund's ability to deliver the
sought-after Outcomes.
Clearing Member Default and
Customer Asset Risk (Applicable to all Funds).
Certain derivatives
transactions, including FLEX Options, are required to be centrally cleared
("cleared derivatives"). For cleared derivatives, a Fund's counterparty is the
clearing house (such as the OCC), rather than a bank or broker. Because the
Funds are not members of any clearing house, they access cleared derivatives
through accounts maintained at clearing house members ("clearing members").
Payments associated with cleared derivatives (including margin) are made to and
received from the clearing house through a Fund's accounts at clearing members.
Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with option
contracts are maintained in a commingled omnibus account and are not held in
accounts identified to individual customers. As a result, margin assets a Fund
posts with a clearing member for its FLEX Options could, in certain
circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of that clearing
member. Further, although clearing members generally guarantee their clients'
obligations to the clearing house, a Fund's assets may not be fully protected if
a clearing member enters bankruptcy. The Funds also face the risk that only a
limited number of clearing members may be willing to transact on a Fund's
behalf, which can increase the impact of any clearing member default. If a
clearing member defaults, a Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of
transactions it entered into through that clearing member. The loss of a
clearing member relationship could also increase transaction costs and create
operational challenges that hinder the Fund's ability to implement its strategy.
If a Fund cannot obtain access to a clearing member willing to transact on its
behalf, the Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategy effectively.
Counterparty and Clearinghouse
Risk (Applicable to all Funds).
Counterparty risk is the risk that an
issuer, guarantor, or counterparty associated with a security or transaction is
unable or unwilling to meet its obligations. Such risk may arise due to a
counterparty's financial condition, market activities, or other factors, and a
Fund may experience limited or delayed recovery. Because the OCC acts as
guarantor and central counterparty for the Funds' FLEX Options, the Funds'
ability to pursue their objectives depends in part on the OCC's ability to
perform its obligations. If an OCC clearing member through which a Fund
transacts becomes insolvent, some or all of the Fund's FLEX Options positions
may be closed without the Fund's consent, or the Fund may experience delays or
other difficulties in closing or exercising affected positions. Any such events
could impair the Fund's ability to implement its strategy and deliver the
Outcomes. The OCC's rules and procedures are designed to facilitate prompt
settlement of options transactions and exercises, including in connection with
clearing member insolvencies; however, there is a risk that the OCC and its
backup systems could fail if insolvencies are substantial or widespread. In the
unlikely event the OCC becomes insolvent or otherwise cannot meet its settlement
obligations, a Fund could suffer significant losses.
Underlying ETF Risk.
The
Funds' results depend in significant part on the performance of the applicable
Underlying ETF and the risks associated with that ETF and its holdings. Because
the Funds' FLEX Options reference the Underlying ETF, adverse developments
affecting the Underlying ETF--whether related to its portfolio, portfolio
construction, trading, or operations--can negatively affect a Fund's performance
and its ability to achieve its investment objective. In addition to
ETF-structure risks that may apply to the Underlying ETF (including trading,
liquidity, and operational risks), the Funds are indirectly exposed to the
investment and portfolio risks of the Underlying ETF, which may include the
following:
●
Style and Factor Exposure
Risk.
The Underlying ETF may have meaningful exposure to particular
investment styles or factors (such as growth, momentum, quality, profitability,
or valuation characteristics). Periods when those styles or factors underperform
the broader market could cause the Underlying ETF--and therefore the Funds--to
underperform, potentially for extended periods.
●
Valuation Risk.
The
market prices of securities held by the Underlying ETF may become disconnected
from their fundamental value, particularly during periods of market stress or
when investor sentiment shifts. Securities perceived to be "expensive" may
experience sharp drawdowns even without issuer-specific negative news, which
could adversely affect the Underlying ETF and the Funds.
●
Index, Methodology, and
Reconstitution Risk.
If the Underlying ETF tracks an index or uses
rules-based selection and weighting, the Underlying ETF may be affected by the
design and construction of that methodology, including eligibility criteria,
weighting schemes, rebalancing frequency, and corporate action treatment.
Changes to the methodology, index errors, delayed implementation, or
reconstitution effects (including forced buying and selling) could adversely
affect the Underlying ETF's performance and increase volatility.
●
Tracking Error Risk.
The
Underlying ETF may not perfectly track its benchmark or intended exposure due to
fees and expenses, transaction costs, imperfect replication, sampling, timing
differences, cash holdings, rebalancing effects, and other implementation
factors. Any such tracking differences can affect the Underlying ETF's returns
and therefore a Fund's results.
●
Portfolio Turnover and Trading
Impact Risk.
The Underlying ETF may experience elevated portfolio turnover
due to rebalancing, index changes, or methodology-driven trades. Higher turnover
can increase transaction costs and may create market impact, particularly in
less liquid securities or during stressed market conditions, which may reduce
performance.
●
Liquidity of Underlying
Holdings Risk.
The securities held by the Underlying ETF may at times be
less liquid, particularly during periods of heightened volatility or market
dislocation. Reduced liquidity can widen bid-ask spreads, increase trading
costs, and make it more difficult for the Underlying ETF to adjust positions at
desired prices, which could adversely affect the Underlying ETF and the Funds.
●
Premium/Discount and Secondary
Market Trading Risk of the Underlying ETF.
Shares of the Underlying ETF
trade on an exchange and may trade at prices above (premium) or below (discount)
their net asset value. The frequency and magnitude of premiums/discounts may
increase in volatile markets, when liquidity is reduced, or when the Underlying
ETF's holdings are difficult to price or trade. Such dislocations can affect the
performance of FLEX Options referencing the Underlying ETF and, consequently,
the Funds' returns.
●
Securities Lending
Risk.
To the extent the Underlying ETF engages in securities lending, it is
subject to borrower default risk, collateral shortfalls, delays in recovering
loaned securities, and operational or counterparty failures. Losses or reduced
lending revenue could negatively affect the Underlying ETF's performance, which
would in turn affect the Funds.
●
Regulatory and Litigation Risk
Affecting Underlying ETF Holdings.
Issuers held by the Underlying ETF may
be affected by changes in law, regulation, enforcement actions, or litigation
(including antitrust, consumer protection, privacy, intellectual property, or
other regimes). Such developments can materially impact issuer profitability and
valuations, and therefore the Underlying ETF and the Funds.
●
S&P 500 Underlying ETF
Risk (For S&P 500 Underlying Funds).
The Underlying ETF seeks to track,
before expenses, the price and yield performance of the S&P 500
®
Index,
and the Funds' results depend in significant part on the performance of that
Underlying ETF and the risks associated with its holdings and sector exposures.
Because the S&P 500
®
Index is
a market-capitalization weighted index of large-capitalization U.S. companies,
the Underlying ETF (and therefore the Funds) may be significantly affected by
the performance of a relatively small number of the largest issuers, which may
represent a meaningful portion of the index at any time. As a result, weakness
in those issuers, or in one or more sectors that become more heavily represented
in the index, could disproportionately reduce the Underlying ETF's performance
and increase volatility for the Funds. In addition, the Underlying ETF's
performance may be adversely affected by broad equity market risk, sector or
industry-specific developments, and company-specific events affecting large-cap
issuers, including changes in interest rates, inflation expectations, economic
growth, geopolitical events, and regulatory developments. The index and the
Underlying ETF may also experience rebalancing or reconstitution effects, which
can contribute to higher turnover, market impact, and tracking differences
during volatile or stressed market conditions.
●
Nasdaq-100 Underlying ETF Risk
(For Nasdaq-100 Underlying Funds).
The Underlying ETF seeks to track,
before expenses, the performance of the Nasdaq-100
®
Index, and the Funds' results depend in significant part on the
performance of that Underlying ETF and the risks associated with its holdings
and sector exposures, which may be more concentrated in certain sectors than the
broader U.S. equity market. Because the Nasdaq-100
®
Index may
be more heavily exposed to certain sectors and industries (including, at times,
technology and technology-related companies), adverse developments affecting
those sectors or a limited number of large issuers may have a greater impact on
the Underlying ETF (and therefore the Funds) than on a more broadly diversified
equity fund. The Nasdaq-100
®
Index may
also exhibit greater exposure to growth-oriented companies and
valuation-sensitive securities, meaning that periods of rising interest rates,
changes in inflation expectations, tightening financial conditions, or reduced
investor risk appetite may cause the Underlying ETF--and therefore the Funds--to
underperform, potentially for extended periods. In addition, many issuers
represented in the Nasdaq-100
®
Index may
face heightened risks related to rapid technological change, competitive
pressures, cybersecurity incidents, regulatory scrutiny, and intellectual
property or litigation matters, any of which could materially affect issuer
valuations and the Underlying ETF's performance. Reconstitution and rebalancing
activity for the index and the Underlying ETF may also increase turnover and
contribute to tracking differences or market impact, particularly during periods
of market volatility.
●
Russell 2000 Underlying ETF
Risk (For Russell 2000 Underlying Funds).
The Underlying ETF seeks to
track, before expenses, the performance of the Russell 2000
®
Index, and the Funds' results depend in significant part on the
performance of that Underlying ETF and the risks associated with its holdings
and sector exposures. Because the Russell 2000
®
Index is
comprised primarily of small-capitalization U.S. companies, the Underlying ETF
(and therefore the Funds) may be more volatile and may experience reduced
liquidity, wider bid-ask spreads, and greater sensitivity to economic conditions
than funds focused on large-cap companies. Small-cap issuers often have more
limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, and their securities
may be more difficult to value or trade, particularly during periods of market
stress. In addition, the index and the Underlying ETF may experience pronounced
reconstitution and rebalancing effects, including forced buying and selling
around scheduled index rebalances and index additions/deletions, which can
increase turnover, trading costs, and tracking differences.
●
MSCI EAFE Underlying ETF Risk
(For MSCI EAFE Underlying Funds).
The Underlying ETF seeks to track, before
expenses, the performance of the MSCI EAFE
®
Index,
and the Funds' results depend in significant part on the performance of that
Underlying ETF and the risks associated with its holdings and exposures. Because
the MSCI EAFE
®
Index
includes non-U.S. issuers in developed markets, the Underlying ETF (and
therefore the Funds) is exposed to risks associated with foreign markets,
including potentially different (and potentially less robust) regulatory,
accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and investor protection standards, as
well as different trading, settlement, and custody practices. The Underlying
ETF's holdings are generally denominated in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar, and currency exchange-rate movements can materially affect the
Underlying ETF's returns and increase volatility. In addition, the index and the
Underlying ETF may be concentrated in particular countries, regions, or sectors
at certain times, and rebalancing or reconstitution activity may increase
turnover, market impact, and tracking differences, particularly during periods
of market volatility.
●
MSCI Emerging Markets
Underlying ETF Risk (For Emerging Markets Underlying Funds).
The Underlying
ETF seeks to track, before expenses, the performance of the MSCI Emerging
Markets
®
Index,
and the Funds' results depend in significant part on the performance of that
Underlying ETF and the risks associated with its holdings and exposures.
Emerging markets investments may be more volatile and less liquid than
investments in developed markets and may be subject to heightened political,
regulatory, and economic risks, including the risk of government intervention,
nationalization or expropriation, restrictions on foreign investment or
repatriation of capital, and currency controls. Information available about
issuers and markets may be less timely or reliable, and regulatory, accounting,
and investor protection standards may be less developed. The Underlying ETF's
holdings are generally denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and
currency movements can materially affect returns and volatility. The index and
the Underlying ETF also may be concentrated in particular countries or regions
at times, and rebalancing or reconstitution activity may increase turnover,
market impact, and tracking differences, particularly during periods of market
stress.
Market Risk (Applicable to all
Funds).
The Funds can lose money. Share prices may fall quickly because of
short-term market moves or over longer periods during broad market declines.
FLEX Options and other assets may drop in value due to general market
conditions, changes in interest rates, inflation, economic slowdowns, or events
affecting a particular company, industry, sector, region, or country. In a
market downturn, many investments can decline at the same time. Events such as
bank failures, political or regulatory changes, armed conflicts, natural
disasters, or health crises can increase volatility, reduce liquidity, disrupt
trading, and lower the value of the Funds' investments and Shares.
Investment Objective Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
The Funds may not achieve their investment
objectives. This could happen, for example, if (i) a Fund sells FLEX Options,
(ii) a Fund is unable to maintain the intended number and mix of FLEX Options
positions, (iii) Fund expenses related to implementing the strategy are higher
than expected, or (iv) tax laws or IRS interpretations change in a way that
affects the tax treatment of FLEX Options.
Concentration Risk (Applicable
to all Funds).
Because the Funds reference the Underlying ETF, the Funds
will have exposure to industries or groups of industries to the same extent as
the Underlying ETF. If a Fund has significant exposure to a single asset class
or to issuers in the same country, state, region, industry, or sector, negative
developments affecting that exposure could hurt the Fund more than a more
diversified fund. Concentration can increase volatility and make the Funds more
sensitive to a single event.
Liquidity and Valuation Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
The Funds invest primarily in FLEX Options that
reference the Underlying ETF. The market for FLEX Options may be less liquid
than the market for the Underlying ETF's shares or for standardized options. In
stressed markets, liquidity can decline sharply and bid-ask spreads can widen.
In those conditions, a Fund may have difficulty entering into, adjusting, or
closing FLEX Options positions at the times or prices it wants. This can
increase transaction costs and may reduce the Fund's returns. Reduced liquidity
can also contribute to differences between the Fund's NAV and the market price
of its Shares.
●
Fair Value Pricing
Risk.
A Fund normally values its FLEX Options using market quotations. If
market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable, the
Fund may use fair value pricing. A fair value price is an estimate and may be
higher or lower than the price the Fund could receive if it sold or closed the
position. The Fund could realize a loss if a FLEX Option is sold, closed, or
valued at expiration at a price different from its fair value.
●
Nonlinear Pricing
Risk.
FLEX Option values are affected by more than changes in the
Underlying ETF's share price. Factors such as time remaining until expiration,
interest rates, and actual and implied volatility can also affect prices.
Because of these factors, a Fund's NAV may not move in the same way as the
Underlying ETF from day to day, and pricing differences may be larger during
volatile or less liquid markets.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
Each Fund is non-diversified, which means it may
invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number
of issuers or obtain exposure through a smaller number of counterparties than a
diversified fund. As a result, a Fund may be more susceptible to a single
economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrence, or to a decline in the
financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, and such an event may have a
disproportionately negative impact on the Fund.
Active Management Risk
(Applicable to all Funds).
Because the Funds are actively managed, the
Funds' performance depends on the Adviser's ability to select investments and
allocate assets. The Adviser's judgments may prove incorrect, and the Funds may
underperform funds with similar objectives or strategies and may underperform
the broader equity markets.
Brokerage Commissions and
Bid-Ask Spread Risk (Applicable to all Funds).
Investors transacting in the
secondary market will pay brokerage commissions and may bear costs associated
with the bid-ask spread. These costs tend to rise when trading volume is low or
markets are stressed and can materially reduce investment results, especially
for frequent or small transactions.
New Adviser Risk (Applicable
to all Funds).
The Adviser has limited experience managing a registered
fund. As a result, there is no long-term track record against which an investor
may judge the Adviser and it is possible the Adviser may not achieve a Fund's
intended investment objective.
New Fund Risk (Applicable to
all Funds).
The Funds are newly organized and have limited or no operating
history. It may take time to attract assets, build secondary-market liquidity,
and achieve investment and trading efficiencies.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
The Funds' complete portfolio
holdings will be made available on the Funds' website at www.corgifunds.com on
each business day, consistent with applicable SEC requirements (including Rule
6c-11). A full description of the Funds' policies and procedures regarding
disclosure of portfolio holdings is provided in the Fund's Statement of
Additional Information (the "SAI").
Investment
Adviser
Corgi Strategies, LLC (the "Adviser"), located at 425 Bush
St, Suite 500, San Francisco, CA 94104, is a Delaware limited liability company
registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and serves as investment
adviser to the Fund.
The
Adviser was founded in July 2025, and as of March 31, 2026, has $27,172,159 in
assets under management and serves as the investment adviser for 14 other
registered funds.
The Adviser is responsible for overall portfolio
management and administration of each Fund pursuant to an investment advisory
agreement with Corgi ETF Trust I (the "Trust") (the "Advisory Agreement"). In
addition to executing portfolio transactions, the Adviser may arrange for, and
oversee, service providers performing transfer agency, custody, fund
administration/accounting, distribution, and other services necessary for each
Fund's operations.
For its services to each Fund, each Fund pays the
Adviser a unitary management fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, from the
Fund's average daily net assets. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser pays
substantially all of the Fund's expenses except for: the advisory fee itself;
interest charges on borrowings; taxes; brokerage commissions and other expenses
related to buying and selling portfolio investments; dividends and other
expenses on securities sold short; acquired fund fees and expenses; any accrued
deferred tax liability; distribution fees and expenses under any Rule 12b-1
plan; litigation and other extraordinary expenses; and any other expenses the
Fund is responsible for under the Advisory Agreement (collectively, the
"Excluded Expenses").
Additional information about
portfolio transactions, brokerage selection, and research services is provided
in the SAI under Brokerage Transactions.
Expense Limitation
Agreement
The Adviser has entered into an
Expense Limitation Agreement with certain Funds under which it has contractually
agreed to waive a portion of its management fee equal to a percentage of the
average daily net assets of such Funds as set forth below. This agreement has no
termination date and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of
Trustees, upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the
Adviser; provided that the Board may not terminate the agreement with respect to
any Fund prior to the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the
agreement with respect to such Fund. Amounts waived are not subject to
recoupment by the Adviser:

HOW TO BUY
AND SELL SHARES
The Fund issues and redeems
shares of the Fund ("Shares") only in large blocks called "Creation Units," at a
Fund's net asset value ("NAV") next determined after an order is accepted. Only
authorized participants ("APs"), who must be members or participants of a
registered clearing agency and must have an executed participant agreement with
a Fund's distributor and transfer agent, may transact in Creation Units directly
with the Fund. Once created, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary
market in amounts less than a Creation Unit.
Most investors buy and sell
shares in secondary-market transactions through brokers. Shares are expected to
be listed for trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") and can be
bought and sold throughout the trading day at market prices. Investors may pay
customary brokerage commissions and, because secondary-market transactions occur
at market prices, investors may pay more than NAV when buying Shares and receive
less than NAV when selling Shares.
Book Entry
Shares
are held only in book-entry form. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its
nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares. Beneficial ownership of
Shares is shown on the records of DTC or its participants (e.g., brokers, banks,
and other financial institutions). As a beneficial owner, you will not receive
physical certificates and must rely on DTC and its participants to exercise
rights associated with owning Shares, consistent with standard "street name"
procedures.
Frequent Purchases and
Redemptions of Shares
The Funds do not impose restrictions on the
frequency of purchases and redemptions of Shares. Purchases and redemptions by
APs are integral to the ETF arbitrage mechanism and help keep market prices of
Shares close to NAV. The Board has considered the potential for frequent
purchases and redemptions, particularly for cash, to increase portfolio
transaction costs, tracking difference, and realized capital gains, and has
approved policies to mitigate these effects, including fair-value pricing and
the imposition of transaction fees on Creation Unit purchases and redemptions
designed to cover the Fund's costs. The Fund and the Adviser reserve the right
to reject any purchase order at any time.
Determination of Net Asset
Value
Each Fund's NAV is calculated as of the close of regular
trading on Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day
the Exchange is open for business. NAV is computed by dividing a Fund's net
assets by the number of Shares outstanding.
In determining NAV, portfolio
securities and other assets are generally valued at market value using
quotations, last sale prices, or values supplied by a pricing service or market
makers. When such information is unavailable or is deemed unreliable, the
affected investments are valued at fair value pursuant to the Fund's valuation
procedures.
Fair Value
Pricing
The Board has designated the Adviser as each Fund's
"valuation designee" under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to the Board's
oversight. The Adviser has adopted valuation policies and procedures to
determine, in good faith, the fair value of investments for which market
quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable (for example,
following a trading halt or when a primary pricing source fails to provide
data). In making fair-value determinations, the Adviser may consider all
reasonably available information deemed relevant, including issuer-specific
data, market conditions, recent trading activity, and the circumstances that
triggered the need for fair value. Because fair value determinations involve
judgments, the prices assigned may differ from values realized upon sale.
Investments by Other
Registered Investment Companies in the Fund
Investments by
registered investment companies in a Fund are subject to the limits of Section
12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act and related rules. Other registered investment
companies may invest in the Fund beyond the Section 12(d)(1) limits in
accordance with applicable SEC rules (e.g., Rule 12d1-4) and conditions, which
may include entering into a fund-of-funds investment agreement with the Fund.
Delivery of Shareholder
Documents - "Householding"
Certain intermediaries may offer
"householding," a method of delivery under which a single copy of shareholder
documents is sent to investors sharing an address, even if accounts are
registered in different names. If you wish to enroll in, or to change your
householding election, please contact your broker-dealer or other financial
intermediary.
DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND TAXES
Dividends and
Distributions
Each Fund intends to pay dividends and interest
income, if any, annually, and to distribute any net realized capital gains to
shareholders at least annually. The Fund will declare and pay income and capital
gain distributions, if any, in cash. Cash distributions may be reinvested in
additional whole Shares only if the broker through whom you hold Shares offers
that option. Your broker is responsible for delivering any income and capital
gain distributions to you.
Taxes
The
following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations
that generally apply to investments in a Fund. Your situation may differ. You
should consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of investing in
Shares, including the application of foreign, state, and local tax
laws.
Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment
company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). If a Fund satisfies minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is
generally not subject to fund-level federal income tax on income and gains that
are timely distributed to shareholders. If a Fund were to fail to qualify as a
RIC or fail to meet the distribution requirements (and no relief were
available), it could be subject to fund-level taxation, which would reduce
income available for distribution.
Each Fund intends to treat
income derived from FLEX Options as "qualifying income" under the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies ("RICs"). However,
there is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") will agree with
a Fund's characterization of such income.
Unless your Shares are held
through a tax-exempt entity or tax-advantaged account (such as an IRA), you
should consider potential tax consequences when a Fund makes distributions, when
you sell Shares on the Exchange, and (for institutional investors only) when you
purchase or redeem Creation Units.
This general discussion is based on
the Code and applicable Treasury regulations in effect on the date of this
Prospectus. New legislation, administrative guidance, or court decisions may
materially change these conclusions and may apply retroactively.
Taxes on
Distributions
For federal income tax purposes, distributions of the
Fund's net investment income are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary
income or as qualified dividend income. Tax treatment of distributions of net
capital gains (if any) depends on how long the Fund held the investments that
generated such gains, not on how long you have held your Shares. Sales of assets
held by the Fund for more than one year generally produce long-term capital
gains or losses; sales of assets held for one year or less generally produce
short-term capital gains or losses. Distributions that the Fund reports as
capital gain dividends ("Capital Gain Dividends") are taxable to shareholders as
long-term capital gains. Distributions of short-term capital gains are generally
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Dividends and distributions are
generally taxable to you whether received in cash or reinvested in additional
Shares.
Distributions a Fund reports as
"qualified dividend income" are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at
the rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding-period and
other requirements are met. "Qualified dividend income" generally includes
dividends from U.S. corporations and from certain qualified foreign corporations
(including those incorporated in a U.S. possession, eligible for benefits under
a comprehensive U.S. income tax treaty, or whose stock is readily tradable on an
established U.S. market). Corporate shareholders may be eligible for a
dividends-received deduction with respect to portions of dividends attributable
to qualifying dividends the Fund receives from U.S. corporations, subject to
applicable limitations.
Shortly after the close of each calendar year,
you will receive information describing the character of distributions you
received from the distributing Fund.
In addition to federal income tax,
certain individuals, trusts, and estates are subject to a 3.8% Net Investment
Income ("NII") tax. This tax is imposed on the lesser of: (i) net investment
income (as reduced by properly allocable deductions) or (ii) the excess of
modified adjusted gross income over specified thresholds ($250,000 for married
filing jointly, $200,000 for single filers, and $125,000 for married filing
separately). The Fund's distributions and any capital gains realized on a sale
or redemption of Shares are generally included in net investment income for
purposes of the NII tax.
In general, distributions are taxable to you in
the year paid. However, certain distributions paid in January may be treated as
paid on December 31 of the year prior. In general, distributions are taxable
even if they are paid from income or gains earned by the Fund before you
purchased Shares (and thus were reflected in the Shares' NAV at the time of
purchase).
Sales of portfolio investments
to fund shareholder redemptions, satisfy distribution requirements, or pay
excise taxes may cause the Fund to recognize taxable income. Such taxable income
may need to be distributed to shareholders, even if the Fund's net asset value
has declined, and could reduce the Fund's ability to achieve its intended
Outcome for an Outcome Period.
You may want to avoid purchasing Shares
immediately before a dividend or other distribution, since the distribution will
generally be taxable to you even if, in economic terms, it represents a return
of part of your investment.
Shareholders who purchase
Shares shortly before a distribution may be subject to tax on the full
distribution amount, even though a portion of the distribution may represent a
return of their purchase price.
If you are neither a U.S. citizen nor a
U.S. resident (or are a foreign entity), distributions (other than Capital Gain
Dividends) will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate,
unless a lower treaty rate applies. Under certain circumstances, a Fund may
report all or a portion of a dividend as an "interest-related dividend" or a
"short-term capital gain dividend," which would generally be exempt from this
30% withholding tax, provided other requirements are met.
The Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA") may require each Fund to withhold a 30% tax
(generally not refundable) from distributions of net investment income made to:
(A) certain foreign financial institutions that do not satisfy applicable FATCA
reporting or due-diligence requirements (or that are not treated as compliant
under an applicable intergovernmental agreement), and (B) certain non-financial
foreign entities that do not provide required information regarding substantial
U.S. owners. FATCA may also affect the Fund's returns on foreign investments or
a shareholder's returns if Shares are held through a foreign intermediary.
Consult your tax adviser regarding FATCA's application and any related
certification, compliance, reporting, and withholding obligations.
Each
Fund (or a financial intermediary, such as a broker, through which a shareholder
holds Shares) is generally required to withhold and remit to the U.S. Treasury a
portion of taxable distributions and sale or redemption proceeds if the
shareholder fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, has
underreported certain interest or dividend income, or fails to certify that they
are not subject to such withholding.
Taxes When Shares are Sold on
the Exchange
Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of
Shares generally is treated as long-term capital gain or loss if Shares have
been held for more than one year, and as short-term capital gain or loss if
Shares have been held for one year or less. However, a capital loss on Shares
held six months or less is treated as long-term to the extent of Capital Gain
Dividends received with respect to such Shares. Losses are disallowed to the
extent you acquire (including through dividend reinvestment) substantially
identical Shares within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30
days after the sale.
Taxes on Purchases and
Redemptions of Creation Units
An authorized participant ("AP")
whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar and who exchanges securities for
Creation Units generally recognizes gain or loss equal to the difference between
(i) the value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and (ii) the
AP's aggregate basis in the securities delivered plus any cash paid. An AP that
exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize gain or loss
equal to the difference between (i) the AP's basis in the Creation Units and
(ii) the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of the securities received plus any
cash received. The IRS may assert that a loss realized upon an exchange of
securities for Creation Units is not currently deductible (e.g., under the "wash
sale" rules for an AP not marking to market, or on the theory that there was no
significant change in economic position). APs should consult their own tax
advisers about the application of wash sale rules and the timing of any loss
deductions.
Any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation
Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares
comprising the Creation Units were held for more than one year, and as
short-term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less.
A Fund may
include a payment of cash in addition to, or in place of, delivering a basket of
securities when redeeming Creation Units. To raise cash for such redemptions,
the Fund may sell portfolio securities, potentially recognizing investment
income and/or capital gains or losses it might not have recognized if the
redemption had been satisfied entirely in kind. As a result, including cash in
redemption proceeds can reduce the Fund's tax efficiency.
The foregoing
discussion summarizes some possible consequences under current federal tax law
of investing in a Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. You may
also be subject to foreign, state, and local taxes on Fund distributions and on
sales of Shares. Consult your tax adviser regarding the tax consequences of
investing in Shares under all applicable laws. For additional information, see
"Federal Income Taxes" in the SAI.
Paralel Distributors LLC (the
"Distributor"), each Fund's distributor, is a broker-dealer registered with the
SEC, serves as the Fund's distributor for Creation Units on an agency basis and
does not make a secondary market in Shares. The Distributor does not set Fund
policies or select the portfolio securities of the Fund. The Distributor's
principal address is 1700 Broadway, Suite 2100, Denver, CO 80290.
The Board has adopted a
Distribution (Rule 12b-1) Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the
1940 Act. Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay up to 0.25% of its
average daily net assets each year for distribution-related services in
connection with the sale and distribution of its Shares.
The Funds do not currently pay
Rule 12b-1 fees and there are no current plans to impose such fees. If Rule
12b-1 fees are charged in the future, because they are paid from Fund assets on
an ongoing basis, these fees would increase the cost of your investment over
time and may exceed certain other types of sales charges.
PREMIUM/DISCOUNT INFORMATION
When available, information
about how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a price above (at a premium to)
or below (at a discount to) the Fund's NAV will be provided on the Fund's
website at www.corgifunds.com.
Shares are not sponsored,
endorsed, or promoted by the Exchange. The Exchange is not responsible for, and
has not participated in, the determination of the timing, prices, or quantities
of Shares to be issued, nor in the determination or calculation of any equation
by which to determine redeemability of Shares. The Exchange has no duty or
liability to shareholders for the administration, marketing, or trading of the
Shares.
Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the Exchange
have any liability for lost profits or for indirect, punitive, special, or
consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such
damages.
The Adviser and the Fund make no representation or warranty,
express or implied, to owners of Shares or to the public regarding the
advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Fund specifically.
