Fund Details
*The 30-Day SEC Yield is calculated with a standardized formula mandated by the SEC. The formula is based on the maximum offering price per share and does not reflect waivers in effect.
**The most recent distribution on 09/26/2025 contains 100% return of capital and 0% income.
**The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12) and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed.

Performance
The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (855) 563-6900.
Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on historical returns. Returns beyond 1 year are annualized.
A fund’s NAV is the sum of all its assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the most recent price at which the fund was traded.

Future Distribution Detail
The Fund intends to pay out dividends and interest income, if any, monthly, and distribute any net realized capital gains to its shareholders at least annually. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given month. If the Fund makes distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Additionally, past monthly distributions have included a return of investor capital, which would decrease the Fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. The Fund is a newly organized investment company, and it is not possible to estimate how much of any future distribution is a return of capital. Please see fund prospectus for additional information on the tax treatment of distributions.
