PROSPECTUS
October 31,
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 its 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.

2X LONG TESLA DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long Tesla 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 Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) (“TSLA”). 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 TSLA 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 TSLA for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of TSLA and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher TSLA volatility, the volatility of
TSLA may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of TSLA.
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 TSLA’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if TSLA’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
TSLA 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 TSLA. 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
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
0.196% for the fiscal period ending June 30, 2027.
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

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 June 30, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 102,990% of the average value of its portfolio
and the increase from prior year was due to significantly increased assets and
related trading volume.
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 TSLA on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on TSLA or
by investing directly in the common stock of TSLA. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and
direct investments in TSLA 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 TSLA 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 TSLA 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
(TSLA) 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 TSLA 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 TSLA is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which TSLA is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, TSLA is assigned to the motor vehicles and passenger car bodies
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 TSLA. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to TSLA is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of TSLA’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of TSLA 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
TSLA 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.
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 Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla,
Inc., founded in 2003 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, designs, develops,
manufactures, sells and leases electric vehicles and energy generation and
storage systems, and describes itself as a company focused on bringing
artificial intelligence into the real world. Its current vehicle lineup consists
of the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck, along with the Tesla Semi commercial
truck, following the end of Model S and Model X production in 2026. Tesla offers
Full Self-Driving (Supervised), an advanced driver assistance system that
requires active driver supervision, and operates Robotaxi, an autonomous
ride-hailing service launched in 2025 that began offering rides in its
purpose-built Cybercab vehicle in Austin, Texas in September 2026. Tesla’s
energy storage products, Powerwall for homes and businesses and Megapack for
utility-scale projects, deployed 13.7 gigawatt-hours of storage in the third
quarter of 2026. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, customers in the
United States accounted for approximately 45% of Tesla’s revenues. As of October
23, 2026, the market capitalization of Tesla, Inc. is approximately $1.47
trillion. TSLA 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 Tesla, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act
can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-34756 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at
www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding Tesla, 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
Tesla, 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 Tesla, 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 TSLA have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Tesla, Inc. could affect
the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to TSLA 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 TSLA’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 TSLA
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how TSLA 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) TSLA volatility; b) TSLA 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA volatility and TSLA performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to TSLA; (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 TSLA.
During
periods of higher TSLA volatility, the volatility of TSLA may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of TSLA. 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 TSLA 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 TSLA
provided no return over a one year period during which TSLA 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 TSLA’s return is
flat. For
instance, if TSLA’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 TSLA 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 TSLA. 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.

TSLA’s
annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2025 was
13.83%. Historical volatility and performance are not indications of what TSLA
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 Regarding Investment Techniques and Policies"
in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT section of this
Prospectus.
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
TSLA 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 TSLA, 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 TSLA 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 TSLA does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with TSLA 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 smaller
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
investments, 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 TSLA, 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 TSLA
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 TSLA at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of TSLA at the time of purchase. If TSLA
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if TSLA 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 TSLA.
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
TSLA and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to TSLA is impacted by TSLA’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to TSLA at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to TSLA
increases on days when TSLA 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) TSLA. 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA. Any of these factors could decrease the correlation between
the performance of the Fund and TSLA 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. Tesla,
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 Tesla, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance of
TSLA. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in TSLA. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or
other distributions or any other rights with respect to
TSLA.
Tesla,
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. In addition
to the risks associated generally with operating companies and with electric
vehicle, autonomous driving, energy storage, artificial intelligence and
robotics companies, Tesla, Inc. faces risks unique to its operations including,
among others, supply or manufacturing delays, increased material or labor costs
or shortages, tariffs and other trade restrictions, reduced demand for its
products, and increased competition, the reduction or elimination of government
incentives and regulatory credit programs, regulatory investigations and
evolving regulation of its driver-assistance and autonomous driving technologies
and services, the uncertain commercialization of new products such as robotaxis
and humanoid robots, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire
and retain key employees or qualified personnel. Importantly, Tesla, Inc. is
highly dependent on the services of Elon Musk, its Chief Executive Officer, who
also leads other companies with which Tesla, Inc. has entered into investments
and other transactions and whose time and attention are divided among those
companies. Public perception of Mr. Musk may affect demand for Tesla, Inc.’s
products and the price of its common stock. Any actual or anticipated large
transactions in Tesla, Inc.’s common stock by Mr. Musk, including sales or
pledges of shares, and the issuance of shares under his performance-based
compensation awards, which may dilute other shareholders, may cause the stock
price to decline. The trading price of Tesla, Inc.’s common stock historically
has been and is likely to continue to be volatile. Additionally, a large
proportion of Tesla, Inc.’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.
Tesla, Inc. is a highly dynamic company, and its operations, including its
products and services, may change.
Cryptocurrency
Risk.
The Fund may have exposure to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as a result of
Tesla holding Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency operates
without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government.
Cryptocurrencies are often referred to as a “virtual currency” or “digital
currency,” and operate as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and
value storage that is used like money. A cryptocurrency is also not a legal
tender. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange
of a cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing.
Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to
fraud, technical glitches, hackers or malware. The Fund’s indirect exposure to
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin may be
affected
by the high volatility associated with such cryptocurrency exposure. Future
regulatory actions or policies may limit the ability to sell, exchange or use
cryptocurrencies, thereby impairing their prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Tesla, Inc. is assigned
(i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide exposure
to the industry to which Tesla, 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, TSLA is assigned to
the motor vehicles and passenger car bodies
industry.
Electric
and Autonomous Vehicles Company Risk.
Electric
and autonomous vehicles companies typically face intense competition and
potentially rapid product obsolescence. Many of these companies are also heavily
dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected by loss
or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies will be
able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the
misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop
technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’
technology. Electric and autonomous vehicles companies typically engage in
significant amounts of spending on research and development, capital
expenditures and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the
products or services produced by these companies will be successful. Companies
that produce the raw materials that are used in electric vehicles may be
concentrated in certain commodities, and therefore be exposed to the price
fluctuations of those commodities. In addition, autonomous vehicle technology
could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the
development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop
and/or utilize this technology. Electric and autonomous vehicles companies are
also potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse
impact on the performance of these companies. Electric and autonomous vehicles
companies rely on artificial intelligence and big data technologies for the
development of their platforms and, as a result, could face increased scrutiny
as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used.
The customers and/or suppliers of electric and autonomous vehicles companies may
be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry, including in
emerging markets. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or
industries could have a negative impact on electric and autonomous vehicles
companies.
Automotive
Companies Risk.
The
automotive industry can be highly cyclical, and companies in the industry
may suffer periodic operating losses. Automotive companies can be significantly
affected by labor relations and fluctuating component prices. Developments in
automotive technologies (e.g.,
autonomous vehicle technologies) may require significant capital expenditures
that may not generate profits for several years, if ever. Automotive companies
may be significantly subject to government policies and regulations regarding
imports and exports of automotive products. Governmental policies affecting the
automotive industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and
export restrictions on automotive products can influence industry profitability.
In addition, such companies must comply with environmental laws and regulations,
for which there may be severe consequences for non-compliance. While most of the
major automotive manufacturers are large companies, certain others may be
non-diversified in both product line and customer base and may be more
vulnerable to certain events that may negatively impact the automotive
industry.
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.
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.
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 TSLA. 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 TSLA value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in the TSLA. Under
such circumstances, the market for TSLA 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 TSLA and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for TSLA 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 TSLA 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 TSLA and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or TSLA 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 the Exchange 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 TSLA do not provide leveraged exposure to TSLA and, as a result,
if the Fund invests directly in common stock of TSLA 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 rather than in-kind. 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 incur certain costs
such as brokerage costs, and to recognize capital gains 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 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 TESLA DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Inverse Tesla 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 Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) ("TSLA"). 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 TSLA for that period. Longer
holding periods and higher volatility of TSLA increase the impact of compounding
on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of
TSLA may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of TSLA.
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 TSLA 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 TSLA’s performance is
flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if TSLA’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 TSLA 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 TSLA. 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

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 June 30, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio due to the Fund not holding any long-term securities at
any month-end during the period.
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 TSLA on a daily
basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its investment
objective by purchasing put options on TSLA or by engaging in short sales of the
common stock of TSLA. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the Fund’s
investments in swap agreements, put options and short sales of TSLA 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 TSLA
is 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 TSLA 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 TSLA 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 TSLA, the
Fund will sell shares of TSLA 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 TSLA 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 TSLA is assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of
its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure in the
industry to which TSLA is assigned). As of the date of this prospectus, TSLA is
assigned to the motor vehicles and passenger car bodies
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 TSLA. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to TSLA is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of TSLA’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of TSLA 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
TSLA 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.
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 Tesla, Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla,
Inc., founded in 2003 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, designs, develops,
manufactures, sells and leases electric vehicles and energy generation and
storage systems, and describes itself as a company focused on bringing
artificial intelligence into the real world. Its current vehicle lineup consists
of the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck, along with the Tesla Semi commercial
truck, following the end of Model S and Model X production in 2026. Tesla offers
Full Self-Driving (Supervised), an advanced driver assistance system that
requires active driver supervision, and operates Robotaxi, an autonomous
ride-hailing service launched in 2025 that began offering rides in its
purpose-built Cybercab vehicle in Austin, Texas in September 2026. Tesla’s
energy storage products, Powerwall for homes and businesses and Megapack for
utility-scale projects, deployed 13.7 gigawatt-hours of storage in the third
quarter of 2026. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, customers in the
United States accounted for approximately 45% of Tesla’s revenues. As of October
23, 2026, the market capitalization of Tesla, Inc. is approximately $1.47
trillion. TSLA 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 Tesla, Inc. pursuant to the Exchange Act
can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file
number 001-34756 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at
www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding Tesla, 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
Tesla, 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 Tesla, 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 TSLA have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning Tesla, Inc. could affect
the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to TSLA 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 TSLA’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 TSLA
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how TSLA 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) TSLA volatility; b) TSLA 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA volatility and TSLA performance over a one-year period. Performance
shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with respect to
TSLA; (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
TSLA.
During
periods of higher TSLA volatility, the volatility of TSLA may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of TSLA. 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 TSLA 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 TSLA
provided no return over a one year period during which TSLA 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 TSLA’s return is
flat. For
instance, if TSLA’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 TSLA 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 TSLA. 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.

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"
in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT section of this
Prospectus.
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 smaller
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.
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 value 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 TSLA, 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 TSLA
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 TSLA. 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 TSLA 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 TSLA at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of TSLA at the time of purchase. If TSLA
loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if TSLA 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 TSLA.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or TSLA 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 TSLA and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment
objective. The Fund’s exposure to TSLA is impacted by TSLA’s movement. Because
of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to TSLA at the
end of each day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or
under-exposed to TSLA increases on days when TSLA 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) TSLA. 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA. 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 TSLA. Any of these
factors could decrease the inverse correlation between the performance of the
Fund and TSLA 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. Tesla,
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 Tesla, Inc. and make no representation as to the performance of
TSLA. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in TSLA. Fund
shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other
distributions or any other rights with respect to
TSLA.
Tesla,
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. In addition to the risks
associated generally with operating companies and with electric vehicle,
autonomous driving, energy storage, artificial intelligence and robotics
companies, Tesla, Inc. faces risks unique to its operations including, among
others, supply or manufacturing delays, increased material or labor costs or
shortages, tariffs and other trade restrictions, reduced demand for its
products, and increased competition, the reduction or elimination of government
incentives and regulatory credit programs, regulatory investigations and
evolving regulation of its driver-assistance and autonomous driving technologies
and services, the uncertain commercialization of new products such as robotaxis
and humanoid robots, product liability claims, and the ability to attract, hire
and retain key employees or qualified personnel. Importantly, Tesla, Inc. is
highly dependent on the services of Elon Musk, its Chief Executive Officer, who
also leads other companies with which Tesla, Inc. has entered into investments
and other transactions and whose time and attention are divided among those
companies. Public perception of Mr. Musk may affect demand for Tesla, Inc.’s
products and the price of its common stock. Any actual or anticipated large
transactions in Tesla, Inc.’s common stock by Mr. Musk, including sales or
pledges of shares, and the issuance of shares under his performance-based
compensation awards, which may dilute other shareholders, may cause the stock
price to decline. The trading price of Tesla, Inc.’s common
stock historically has been and is likely to continue to be volatile.
Additionally, a large proportion of Tesla, Inc.’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. Tesla, Inc. is a highly dynamic company, and its
operations, including its products and services, may change.
Cryptocurrency
Risk.
The Fund may have exposure to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as a result of
Tesla holding Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. A cryptocurrency operates
without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government.
Cryptocurrencies are often referred to as a “virtual currency” or “digital
currency,” and operate as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and
value storage that is used like money. A cryptocurrency is also not a legal
tender. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange
of a cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing.
Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to
fraud, technical glitches, hackers or malware. The Fund’s indirect exposure to
cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin may be affected by the high volatility
associated with such cryptocurrency exposure. Future regulatory actions or
policies may limit the ability to sell, exchange or use cryptocurrencies,
thereby impairing their prices.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which Tesla, Inc. is assigned
(i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide inverse
exposure to the industry to which Tesla, 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,
TSLA is assigned to the motor vehicles and passenger car bodies
industry.
Electric
and Autonomous Vehicles Company Risk.
Electric and autonomous vehicles companies typically face intense competition
and potentially rapid product obsolescence. Many of these companies are also
heavily dependent on intellectual property rights and may be adversely affected
by loss or impairment of those rights. There can be no assurance these companies
will be able to successfully protect their intellectual property to prevent the
misappropriation of their technology, or that competitors will not develop
technology that is substantially similar or superior to such companies’
technology. Electric and autonomous vehicles companies typically engage in
significant amounts of spending on research and development, capital
expenditures and mergers and acquisitions, and there is no guarantee that the
products or services produced by these companies will be successful. Companies
that produce the raw materials that are used in electric vehicles may be
concentrated in certain commodities, and therefore be exposed to the price
fluctuations of those commodities. In addition, autonomous vehicle technology
could face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the future, which may limit the
development of this technology and impede the growth of companies that develop
and/or utilize this technology. Electric and autonomous vehicles companies are
also potential targets for cyberattacks, which can have a materially adverse
impact on the performance of these companies. Electric and autonomous vehicles
companies rely on artificial intelligence and big data technologies for the
development of their platforms and, as a result, could face increased scrutiny
as regulators consider how the data is collected, stored, safeguarded and used.
The customers and/or suppliers of electric and autonomous vehicles companies may
be concentrated in a particular country, region or industry, including in
emerging markets. Any adverse event affecting one of these countries, regions or
industries could have a negative impact on electric and autonomous vehicles
companies.
Automotive
Companies Risk.
The automotive industry can be highly cyclical, and companies in the
industry may suffer periodic operating losses. Automotive companies can be
significantly affected by labor relations and fluctuating component prices.
Developments in automotive technologies (e.g.,
autonomous vehicle technologies) may require significant capital expenditures
that may not generate profits for several years, if ever. Automotive companies
may be significantly subject to government policies and regulations regarding
imports and exports of automotive products. Governmental policies affecting the
automotive industry, such as taxes, tariffs, duties, subsidies, and import and
export restrictions on automotive products can influence industry profitability.
In addition, such companies must comply with environmental laws and regulations,
for which there may be severe consequences for non-compliance. While most of the
major automotive manufacturers are large companies, certain others may be
non-diversified in both product line and customer base and may be more
vulnerable to certain events that may negatively impact the automotive
industry.
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.
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.
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 TSLA. 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 TSLA value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in TSLA. Under such
circumstances, the market for TSLA 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 TSLA and may impact the ability of the Fund to
achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in TSLA 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 TSLA 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 TSLA and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or the securities 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 the Exchange 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 TSLA, such short sales do not
provide leveraged exposure to TSLA 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 rather than in-kind. 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 incur certain costs
such as brokerage costs, and to recognize capital gains 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 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 NVIDIA DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Long NVIDIA 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 NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) (“NVDA”). 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 NVDA 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 NVDA for that period. Longer holding periods,
higher volatility of NVDA and leverage increase the impact of compounding on an
investor’s returns. During periods of higher NVDA volatility, the volatility of
NVDA may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of NVDA.
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 NVDA’s performance is flat, and
it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if NVDA’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 NVDA 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 NVDA. 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 June 30, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average
value of its portfolio due to the Fund not holding any long-term securities at
any month-end during the period..
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 NVDA on a daily basis. The Fund may also
seek to achieve its investment objective by purchasing call options on NVDA or
by investing directly in the common stock of NVDA. The Adviser will determine
the allocation of the Fund’s investments in swap agreements, call options and
direct investments in NVDA 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 NVDA 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 NVDA 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
(NVDA) 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 NVDA 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 NVDA is
assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide leveraged
exposure in the industry to which NVDA is assigned). As of the date of this
prospectus, NVDA is assigned to the semiconductors and related devices
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 NVDA. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to NVDA is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of NVDA’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of NVDA 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
NVDA 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.
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 NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA
Corporation, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California,
pioneered accelerated computing and describes itself as a data center-scale
artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure company. NVIDIA designs and sells
graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units, networking products
and software that are used to build and run AI, high-performance computing and
graphics applications. Its offerings include data center computing platforms
based on its Blackwell architecture, Grace CPUs, NVLink and InfiniBand
networking, and its CUDA programming platform and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.
NVIDIA reports in two segments, Compute & Networking and Graphics, and
serves four markets: Data Center, Gaming, Professional Visualization and
Automotive. For its fiscal year ended January 25, 2026, NVIDIA’s Data Center
platform generated approximately $193.7 billion, or about 90%, of its total
revenue of approximately $215.9 billion, and approximately 69% of its revenue
came from sales to direct customers in the United States. As of October 23,
2026, the market capitalization of NVIDIA Corporation is approximately $5.09
trillion. NVDA 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 NVIDIA Corporation pursuant to the
Exchange Act can be located by reference to the Securities and Exchange
Commission file number 000-23985 through the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding NVIDIA
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
NVIDIA 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 NVIDIA 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 NVDA have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning NVIDIA Corporation could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to NVDA 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 NVDA’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 NVDA
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how NVDA 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) NVDA volatility; b) NVDA 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 NVDA. The chart below illustrates
the impact of two principal factors – NVDA volatility and NVDA performance
– on Fund performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number
of combinations of NVDA volatility and NVDA performance over a one-year period.
Performance shown in the chart assumes that: (i) no dividends were paid with
respect to NVDA; (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 NVDA.
During
periods of higher NVDA volatility, the volatility of NVDA may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of NVDA. 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 NVDA 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 NVDA
provided no return over a one year period during which NVDA 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 NVDA’s return is
flat. For
instance, if NVDA’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 NVDA 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 NVDA. 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.

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"
in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT section of this
Prospectus.
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
NVDA 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 NVDA, 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 NVDA 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 NVDA does not lose all of its value. Leverage will also have the effect of
magnifying any differences in the Fund’s correlation with NVDA 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 smaller
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 NVDA, 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 NVDA
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 NVDA at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of NVDA at the time of purchase. If NVDA
gains value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if NVDA 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 NVDA.
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
NVDA and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The
Fund’s exposure to NVDA is impacted by NVDA’s movement. Because of this, it
is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to NVDA at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to NVDA
increases on days when NVDA 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) NVDA. 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 NVDA. 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 NVDA. 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 NVDA. Any of these factors could decrease the correlation between
the performance of the Fund and NVDA 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. NVIDIA
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 NVIDIA Corporation and make no representation as to the
performance of NVDA. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in
NVDA. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive
dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to
NVDA.
NVIDIA
Corporation 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 semiconductor industry, NVIDIA
faces risks specifically related to its operations that could cause the company
to lose market share and revenue, adversely impacting its financial results and
its stock price. These risks include, among others, failure to meet the evolving
needs of its industry and market; competition in its current and target markets;
failure to estimate customer demand and the resulting risk of excess inventory
and unused supply and capacity commitments; dependence on a limited number of
customers for a significant portion of its revenue, and on continued demand for
artificial intelligence and data center computing; dependency on third-party
suppliers; defects in its products; U.S. and foreign export controls, tariffs
and other trade restrictions, which have limited and may further limit its
ability to sell certain products in China and other markets; adverse economic,
political, business and other changes in international regions in which the
company operates; risks relating to its investments in other companies and its
financing arrangements, guarantees and other commitments to customers and
partners, including the risk that those counterparties do not perform; product,
system security, and data breaches and cyber-attacks; adverse changes in laws,
rules and regulations, including those governing artificial intelligence;
increased scrutiny from shareholders, regulators and others regarding the
company’s environmental, social and governance responsibilities; issues relating
to the responsible use of the company’s technologies, including artificial
intelligence; issues relating to the protection of the company’s intellectual
property rights; the risks of litigation, investigation and regulatory
proceedings; including antitrust investigations in the United States and other
jurisdictions; and the company’s level of indebtedness.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which NVIDIA is assigned
(i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide exposure
to the industry to which NVIDIA 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,
NVDA is assigned to the semiconductors and related devices
industry.
Semiconductor
Company Risk.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition
of semiconductor companies and, as product cycles shorten and manufacturing
capacity increases, these companies may become increasingly subject to
aggressive pricing, which hampers profitability. Reduced demand for end-user
products,
under-utilization
of manufacturing capacity, and other factors could adversely impact the
operating results of companies in the semiconductor sector. Semiconductor
companies typically face high capital costs and may be heavily dependent on
intellectual property rights. The semiconductor sector is highly cyclical, which
may cause the operating results of many semiconductor companies to vary
significantly. The stock prices of companies in the semiconductor sector have
been and likely will continue to be extremely
volatile.
Technology
Sector Risk.
Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technological advances could have a major effect on the value of
the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of 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 foreign competitors with lower production costs. 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 technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable
changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified
personnel.
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.
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 NVDA. 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 NVDA value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may be one
of many market participants that are attempting to transact in NVDA. Under such
circumstances, the market for securities of NVDA may lack sufficient liquidity
for all market participants’ trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more
difficulty transacting in NVDA or financial instruments and the Fund’s
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of NVDA and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in NVDA 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 NVDA 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 NVDA and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or NVDA 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 the Exchange 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 NVDA does not provide leveraged exposure to NVDA and, as a
result, if the Fund invests directly in common stock of NVDA 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 rather than in-kind. 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 incur certain costs
such as brokerage costs, and to recognize capital gains 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 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 NVIDIA DAILY TARGET ETF
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND
The
T-REX 2X Inverse NVIDIA 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 NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) ("NVDA").
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 NVDA for that period. Longer
holding periods and higher volatility of NVDA increase the impact of compounding
on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher volatility, the volatility of
NVDA may affect the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of NVDA.
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 NVDA 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 NVDA’s performance is
flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if NVDA’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 NVDA 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 NVDA. The
Fund does not seek to achieve its stated investment objective for a period of
time different than a trading day.

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
0.196% for the fiscal period ending June 30, 2027.
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

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 June 30, 2026, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 0.00% of the average value of its portfolio
due to the Fund not holding any long-term securities at any month-end during the
period.
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 NVDA on a daily
basis. The Fund may also seek to achieve its investment
objective by purchasing put options on NVDA or by engaging in short sales of the
common stock of NVDA. The Adviser will determine the allocation of the Fund’s
investments in swap agreements, put options and short sales of NVDA 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 NVDA
is 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 NVDA 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
NVDA 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 NVDA, the
Fund will sell shares of NVDA 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 NVDA 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 NVDA is assigned (i.e.,
hold 25% or more of
its total assets in investments that provide inverse exposure in the
industry to which NVDA is assigned). As of the date of this prospectus, NVDA is
assigned to the semiconductors and related devices
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 NVDA. At the
close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Fund’s
portfolio so that its exposure to NVDA is consistent with the Fund’s investment
objective. The impact of NVDA’s price movements during the day will affect
whether the Fund’s portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price
of NVDA 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
NVDA 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.
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 NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA
Corporation, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California,
pioneered accelerated computing and describes itself as a data center-scale
artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure company. NVIDIA designs and sells
graphics processing units (GPUs), central processing units, networking products
and software that are used to build and run AI, high-performance computing and
graphics applications. Its offerings include data center computing platforms
based on its Blackwell architecture, Grace CPUs, NVLink and InfiniBand
networking, and its CUDA programming platform and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.
NVIDIA reports in two segments, Compute & Networking and Graphics, and
serves four markets: Data Center, Gaming, Professional Visualization and
Automotive. For its fiscal year ended January 25, 2026, NVIDIA’s Data Center
platform generated approximately $193.7 billion, or about 90%, of its total
revenue of approximately $215.9 billion, and approximately 69% of its revenue
came from sales to customers in the United States. As of October 23, 2026, the
market capitalization of NVIDIA Corporation is approximately $5.09 trillion.
NVDA 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 NVIDIA Corporation pursuant to the Exchange Act can be
located by reference to the Securities and Exchange Commission file number
000-23985 through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at
www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding NVIDIA 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
NVIDIA 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 NVIDIA 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 NVDA have been publicly
disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure of, or
failure to disclose, material future events concerning NVIDIA Corporation could
affect the value of the Fund’s investments with respect to NVDA 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 NVDA’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 NVDA
during the shareholder’s holding period of an investment in the
Fund.
The
chart below provides examples of how 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)
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 of NVDA. 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;
(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
NVDA.
During
periods of higher NVDA volatility, the volatility of NVDA may affect the Fund’s
return as much as, or more than, the return of NVDA. 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 NVDA 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 NVDA
provided no return over a one year period during which NVDA 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 NVDA’s return is
flat. For
instance, if NVDA’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 NVDA 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 NVDA. 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.

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"
in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT section of this
Prospectus.
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 smaller
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.
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 value 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 NVDA, 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 NVDA
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 NVDA. 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 NVDA 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 NVDA at the market close on
the first trading day and the value of NVDA at the time of purchase. If NVDA
loses value, the Fund’s net assets will rise by the same amount as the Fund’s
exposure. Conversely, if NVDA 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 NVDA.
If
there is a significant intra-day market event and/or NVDA 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 NVDA and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment
objective. The Fund’s exposure to NVDA is impacted by NVDA’s movement. Because
of this, it is unlikely that the Fund will be perfectly exposed to NVDA at the
end of each day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or
under-exposed to NVDA increases on days when NVDA 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) NVDA. 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 NVDA. 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 NVDA. 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 NVDA. Any of these
factors could decrease the inverse correlation between the performance of the
Fund and NVDA 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. NVIDIA
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 NVIDIA Corporation and make no representation as to the
performance of NVDA. Investing in the Fund is not equivalent to investing in
NVDA. Fund shareholders will not have voting rights or rights to receive
dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to
NVDA.
NVIDIA
Corporation 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 semiconductor industry, NVIDIA faces risks
specifically related to its operations that could cause the company to lose
market share and revenue, adversely impacting its financial results and its
stock price. These risks include, among others, failure to meet the evolving
needs of its industry and market; competition in its current and target markets;
failure to estimate customer demand and the resulting risk of excess inventory
and unused supply and capacity commitments; dependence on a limited number of
customers for a significant portion of its revenue, and on continued demand for
artificial intelligence and data center computing; dependency on third-party
suppliers; defects in its products; U.S. and foreign export controls, tariffs
and other trade restrictions, which have limited and may further limit its
ability to sell certain products in China and other markets; adverse economic,
political, business and other changes in international regions in which the
company operates; risks relating to its investments in other companies and its
financing arrangements, guarantees and other commitments to customers and
partners, including the risk that those counterparties do not perform; product,
system security, and data breaches and cyber-attacks; adverse changes in laws,
rules and regulations, including those governing artificial intelligence;
increased scrutiny from shareholders, regulators and others regarding
the company’s environmental, social and governance responsibilities;
issues relating to the responsible use of the company’s technologies, including
artificial intelligence; issues relating to the protection of the company’s
intellectual property rights; the risks of litigation, investigation and
regulatory proceedings; including antitrust investigations in the United States
and other jurisdictions; and the company’s level of
indebtedness.
Industry
Concentration Risk. The
Fund will be concentrated in the industry to which NVIDIA Corporation is
assigned (i.e., hold 25% or more of its total assets in investments that provide
inverse exposure to the industry to which NVIDIA 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, NVDA is assigned to the semiconductors and related devices
industry.
Semiconductor
Company Risk.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial condition
of semiconductor companies and, as product cycles shorten and manufacturing
capacity increases, these companies may become increasingly subject to
aggressive pricing, which hampers profitability. Reduced demand for end-user
products, under-utilization of manufacturing capacity, and other factors could
adversely impact the operating results of companies in the semiconductor sector.
Semiconductor companies typically face high capital costs and may be heavily
dependent on intellectual property rights. The semiconductor sector is highly
cyclical, which may cause the operating results of many semiconductor companies
to vary significantly. The stock prices of companies in the semiconductor sector
have been and likely will continue to be extremely
volatile.
Technology
Sector Risk.
Market or economic factors impacting technology companies and companies that
rely heavily on technological advances could have a major effect on the value of
the Fund’s investments. The value of stocks of 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 foreign competitors with lower production costs. 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 technology sector may face dramatic and often unpredictable
changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified
personnel.
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.
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 NVDA. 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 NVDA’s value increases or decreases significantly, the Fund may
be one of many market participants that are attempting to transact in NVDA.
Under such circumstances, the market for securities of NVDA may lack sufficient
liquidity for all market participants' trades. Therefore, the Fund may have more
difficulty transacting in NVDA or financial instruments and the Fund's
transactions could exacerbate the price changes of NVDA and may impact the
ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
In
certain cases, the market for certain securities in NVDA 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 NVDA 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 NVDA and may incur substantial losses. If there is a significant
intra-day market event and/or the securities of NVDA 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 the
Exchange 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 NVDA, such short sales do not
provide leveraged exposure to NVDA 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 rather than in-kind. 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 incur certain costs
such as brokerage costs, and to recognize capital gains 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 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 and policies
to invest at least 80% of its net assets in the investments suggested by its
name 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 (or the
inverse of such return). 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.
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 vehicles 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 Statement of
Additional Information ("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
ETFs 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 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 experiences 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 ETFs 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
ETFs.
Example
2 – The Underlying Security Experiences High Volatility
Mary
invests $10.00 in a 2X Long ETFs 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 ETFs 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 ETFs 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 11% (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 ETFs
widens to approximately 15% while the loss for a 2X Inverse ETF rises to
38%.

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 56% and a 2X
Inverse ETF would be expected to lose 91% 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 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 -173% of the investor’s investment. Conversely,
if the underlying security has moved 5% in a direction unfavorable to the Fund,
an 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 -233% of the investor’s investment.
The
table includes a range of the underlying security moves from 20% to -20% for a
2X Inverse ETF. 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% or -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 -6.11%, 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. 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 including the risks of
the investment strategies of the underlying security. The realization of certain
of the risks described below that may result in adverse market movements may
actually benefit the 2X Inverse ETF due to their inverse investment
objective.
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.

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 -200% 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 the
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.
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 TSLA or NVDA, 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. For the Funds, the values of the
options contracts in which the Funds invest are substantially influenced by the
values of the applicable underlying instruments. 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 value 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 increases 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 its underlying security at the end of each
day. The possibility of the Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to an
underlying security increases 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 TSLA or NVDA. 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 TSLA and NVDA 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 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 or short positions involve the same risks as
investing in the equity securities of the underlying security (or shorting the
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 (or in the case of a 2X Inverse ETF,
-200% exposure) and, as a result, the Fund may not achieve its 200% (or in the
case of a 2X Inverse ETF, -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.
MANAGEMENT
The
Investment Adviser.
Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), 155 Lockwood Road, Riverside,
Connecticut 06878, is the investment adviser for the Funds. The Adviser is
registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940,
as amended. The Adviser is a Delaware limited liability company and was
organized in 2012.
Under
the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf
of the Funds (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser is responsible
for the day-to-day management of each Fund’s investments. The Adviser also: (i)
furnishes the Funds with office space and certain administrative services; and
(ii) provides guidance and policy direction in connection with its daily
management of each Fund’s assets, subject to the authority of the Board. For its
services, the Adviser is entitled to receive an annual management fee calculated
daily and payable monthly, as a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net
assets, at the rate of 1.05%.
Under
the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed, at its own expense
and without reimbursement from the Fund, to pay all expenses of the Funds,
except for: the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory
Agreement, 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 Funds, 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 Funds’ business. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
2026, each Fund paid the Adviser 1.05% in management fees pursuant to the
Investment Advisory Agreement.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board approving the Investment Advisory
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 Funds’ trading strategy. REX
does not make investment decisions, provide investment advice, or otherwise act
in the capacity of an investment adviser to the Funds. REX is not related to the
Adviser, the Funds or any of the underlying stocks of the Funds. 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 Funds, except excluded expenses. The Sponsor will also
provide marketing support for the Funds including, but not limited to, providing
the Funds 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
Funds. 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 in 2023. 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 Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure
of the 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.
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, of at least 10,000 shares. 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 expect to
typically satisfy redemptions in cash, but reserve the right to redeem in-kind.
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 redemptions 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 U.S.
non-corporate shareholders who satisfy those requirements with respect to their
shares at the rate for net long-term capital gain. A part of each Fund’s
dividends also may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to
U.S. corporations -- the eligible portion may not exceed the aggregate dividends
each Fund receives from domestic corporations subject to U.S. federal income tax
(excluding REITs) and excludes dividends from foreign corporations -- subject to
similar restrictions. However, dividends a U.S. corporate 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 the 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.
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.
By
law, 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 or other taxpayer identification number 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. 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 advisor with respect to whether the wash sale rules
apply and when a loss might not 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 shares making up the Creation
Units 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.
If
you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement
showing how many shares 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 sales and the Fund’s obligation to report basis
information to the Service.
Possible
Tax Law Changes. 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 advisor 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(a)(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(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the
prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(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.
