(a) |
Inception date of
the Fund was May 13, 2020. |
(b) |
Net investment income
per share has been calculated based on average shares outstanding during the year. |
(c) |
Recognition of
net investment income by the Fund is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying exchange traded funds in
which the Fund invests. The ratio does not include net investment income of the exchange traded funds in which the Fund invests. |
(d) |
Amount represents
less than $0.005 per share. |
(e) |
Not annualized for
periods less than one year. |
(f) |
Annualized for periods
less than one year. |
(g) |
These ratios exclude
the impact of expenses of the underlying exchange traded funds as represented in the Schedule of Investments. Recognition of net investment
income by the Fund is affected by the timing of the underlying exchange traded funds in which the Fund invests. |
(h) |
Portfolio turnover
rate excludes in-kind transactions. |
(i) |
The return reflects
the actual performance for the period and does not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were
recorded on the first business day of the next period. |
(j) |
Includes broker interest
expense of 0.09%, 0.12%, 0.03%, 0.07% and 0.32%, respectively. |
(k) |
Realized and unrealized
gains and losses per share in this caption are balancing amounts necessary to reconcile the change in net asset value per share for the
period, and may not reconcile with the aggregate gains and losses in the Statements of Operations due to share transactions for the period.

Security Valuation.
All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange-traded funds that are traded on a
national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global MarketTM, Nasdaq Global Select MarketTM,
and the Nasdaq Capital Market ExchangeTM (collectively, “Nasdaq”) are valued at the last reported sale price on
the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
(“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent
quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price
in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted
closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current
exchange rate, which approximates fair value. |

B. |
Federal Income
Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains
to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds plan to file U.S. Federal and various state and local
tax returns. |
|
18 |
|
C. |
Security Transactions
and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized from sales
of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends
included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at fair value of the security received. Interest income is recorded
on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method. |
D. |
Distributions
to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities are declared and
paid at least on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E. |
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the current fiscal period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. |
F. |
Share Valuation.
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Funds, plus cash and other
assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of each Fund, rounded to
the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is
closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share. |
G. |
Reclassification
of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified
between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. These differences are primarily
due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the following table
shows the reclassifications made: |

H. |
Guarantees
and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general
indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that
may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
I. |
Subsequent
Events. In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or
disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period
subsequent to the end of the current fiscal period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.
