The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past
performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance
may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. 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. Returns less than
one year are not annualized. For the most recent standardized and
month-end performance, please click here: XDTE, QDTE, YBTC.
The Funds currently expect, but do not guarantee, to make
distributions on a weekly basis and a monthly basis, respectively.
Distributions may exceed the Funds' income and gains for the Funds'
taxable year. Distributions in excess of the Funds' current and
accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of
capital. Distribution rates caused by unusually favorable market
conditions may not be sustainable. Such conditions might not
continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this
performance will be repeated in the future. As of the most
recent distributions by the funds, the distribution composition was
estimated to be 100% return of capital. Please see the 19a-1
notices for more information.
*The Distribution Per Share (%) is calculated by dividing the
most recent distribution by the fund NAV as of market close on
8/16/24.
**30-Day SEC Yield: Yield calculation that reflects the
dividends and interest earned during the period after the deduction
of the fund's expenses. It is also referred to as the "standardized
yield".
***Distribution Rate: The annual rate an investor would
receive if the most recent fund distribution remained the same
going forward. The rate represents a single distribution from the
fund and does not represent total return of the fund. The
distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent
distribution and dividing by the most recent fund NAV.

All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss of
principal. There is no guarantee the investment strategy will be
successful. The funds faces numerous risks, including options
risk, liquidity risk, market risk, cost of futures investment risk,
clearing broker risk, commodity regulatory risk, futures contract
risk, active management risk, active market risk, clearing broker
risk, credit risk, derivatives risk, legislation and litigation
risk, operational risk, trading issues risk, valuation risk and
non-diversification risk. For a detailed list of fund risks see the
prospectus.
Covered Call Strategy Risk. A covered call strategy
involves writing (selling) covered call options in return for the
receipt of premiums. The seller of the option gives up the
opportunity to benefit from price increases in the underlying
instrument above the exercise price of the options, but continues
to bear the risk of underlying instrument price declines. The
premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset
any losses sustained from underlying instrument price declines,
over time. As a result, the risks associated with writing covered
call options may be similar to the risks associated with writing
put options. Exchanges may suspend the trading of options during
periods of abnormal market volatility. Suspension of trading may
mean that an option seller is unable to sell options at a time that
may be desirable or advantageous to do.
Flex Options Risk. The Fund will utilize FLEX Options
issued and guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing
Corporation (OCC). In the unlikely event that the OCC becomes
insolvent or is otherwise unable to meet its settlement
obligations, the Fund could suffer significant losses.
Additionally, FLEX Options may be less liquid than standard
options. In a less liquid market for the FLEX Options, the Fund may
have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at
desired times and prices. The values of FLEX Options do not
increase or decrease at the same rate as the reference asset and
may vary due to factors other than the price of reference
asset.
QDTE & XDTE
0DTE Options Risk.**** The
Fund's use of zero days to expiration, known as "0DTE" options,
presents additional risks. Due to the short time until their
expiration, 0DTE options are more sensitive to sudden price
movements and market volatility than options with more time until
expiration. Because of this, the timing of trades utilizing 0DTE
options becomes more critical. Although the Fund intends to enter
into 0DTE options trades on market open, or shortly thereafter,
even a slight delay in the execution of these trades can
significantly impact the outcome of the trade. Such options may
also suffer from low liquidity, making it more difficult for the
Fund to enter into its positions each morning at desired prices.
The bid-ask spreads on 0DTE options can be wider than with
traditional options, increasing the Fund's transaction costs and
negatively affecting its returns. Additionally, the proliferation
of 0DTE options is relatively new and may therefore be subject to
rule changes and operational frictions. To the extent that the
OCC enacts new rules relating to 0DTE options that make it
impractical or impossible for the Fund to utilize 0DTE options to
effectuate its investment strategy, it may instead utilize options
with the shortest remaining maturity available or it may utilize
swap agreements to provide the desired exposure.
YBTC
Bitcoin Futures ETF Risks.
The Fund will have significant exposure to the Bitcoin
Futures ETF through its options positions that utilize the
Bitcoin Futures ETF as the reference asset.
Accordingly, the Fund will subject to the risks of the
Bitcoin Futures ETF, set forth below.
Bitcoin Risk. Bitcoin is a
relatively new innovation and the market for bitcoin
is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. The
further development of the Bitcoin network and the
acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety
of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or
reversing of the development of the Bitcoin network or
the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the
price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is subject to
the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security
failures, operational or other problems that impact the digital
asset trading venues on which bitcoin trades. The
Bitcoin blockchain may contain flaws that can be
exploited by hackers. A significant portion of bitcoin
is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as
"whales." Transactions of these holders may influence the price of
bitcoin.
Digital Asset Industry Risk. The digital asset
industry is a new, speculative, and still-developing industry that
faces many risks. In this emerging environment, events that are not
directly related to the security or utility of the
Ethereum blockchain or the Bitcoin
blockchain can nonetheless precipitate a significant decline in the
price of ether and bitcoin.
Digital Asset Regulatory Risk. Digital asset markets in
the U.S. exist in a state of regulatory uncertainty, and adverse
legislative or regulatory developments could significantly harm the
value of bitcoin futures contracts or the
Bitcoin Futures ETF's share, such as by banning,
restricting or imposing onerous conditions or prohibitions on the
use of bitcoin, mining activity, digital wallets, the
provision of services related to trading and custodying digital
assets, the operation of the Bitcoin network, or the
digital asset markets generally. Such occurrences could also impair
the Bitcoin Futures ETF's ability to meet its
investment objective pursuant to its investment strategy.
New Fund Risk. The fund is new and has a limited
operating history.
Roundhill Financial Inc. serves as the investment advisor. The
Funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC which is not
affiliated with Roundhill Financial Inc., U.S. Bank, or any of
their affiliates.
