Investment Objective
The TrueShares Structured Outcome (April) ETF (the “April ETF” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees and expenses) that track those of the S&P 500 Price Return Index (the “S&P 500 Price Index”) while seeking to provide a buffer against the first 8% to 12% of S&P 500 Price Index losses, over a twelve-month period. The current twelve-month period extends from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, and each subsequent twelve-month period begins the day after the current period ends (April 1) and ends on March 31 of the following year.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
| (1) | The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below. |
| Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) | None |
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.79% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.79% |
Expense 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 redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
| $81 | $252 | $439 | $978 |
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 Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. This rate excludes the value of portfolio securities whose maturities or expiration dates at the time of acquisition were one year or less. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Predecessor Fund’s (defined below) portfolio turnover rate was 741% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
TrueShares Structured Outcome (April) ETF
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in options on the S&P 500 Price Index. The Fund’s investment adviser, TrueMark Investments, LLC (“TrueMark” or the “Adviser”), will employ a “buffer protect” options strategy that uses such options to seek to achieve exposure to the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index (before fees and expenses) while mitigating the first 8% to 12% decline (before fees and expenses) in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index (the “Buffer”) over a 12-month period beginning on a specified day each April (each, a “Roll Date”). The period from one Roll Date to the next Roll Date is referred to as the “Investment Period,” and the first day of the Investment Period is referred to as the “Initial Investment Day.”
The Fund will purchase call options and sell (write) put options on the S&P 500 Price Index or an ETF that seeks to track the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index (each, a “S&P 500 Price Index ETF”) on each Initial Investment Day with an expiration on the next Roll Date. An option gives the purchaser of the option the right to purchase (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) the reference asset (or deliver cash equal to the value of the reference asset) at a specified price (“strike price”). In the event the reference asset declines in value, the value of a put option generally will increase and the value of a call option generally will decrease and may become worthless. In the event the reference asset appreciates in value, the value of a put option generally will decrease and become worthless and the value of a call option generally will increase.
| 1 |
On each Initial Investment Day, the Fund will sell (write) put options on the S&P 500 Price Index or an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 Price Index with a strike price within a range of approximately 8% to 12% lower than the current value of the S&P 500 Price Index or a S&P 500 Price Index ETF. As the seller of these options, the Fund receives a premium from the buyer of the options, which the Fund invests in at-the-money call options on the S&P 500 Price Index or a S&P 500 Price Index ETF (i.e., call options having a strike price roughly equal to the current value of the S&P 500 Price Index or a S&P 500 Price Index ETF). The relative price of the put options sold (written) by the Fund to the price of the call options purchased by the Fund will determine the Fund’s exposure to the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index during the Investment Period. Due to the cost of the options used by the Fund, the correlation of the Fund’s performance to that of the S&P 500 Price Index is expected to be less than if the Fund invested directly in the constituents of the S&P 500 Price Index (i.e., without using options), and could be substantially less. This means that if the S&P 500 Price Index experiences gains for an Investment Period, the Fund may not realize gains to the same extent.
The Fund’s strategy also seeks to protect investors from a decline of up to 8% to 12% in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index from one Roll Date to the next Roll Date. When the Adviser sells puts on the S&P 500 Price Index to create the buffer range, the proceeds are used to purchase calls at the money. However, not all puts generate the same premium relative to the downside exposure of the Fund. The Adviser will seek to deliver a buffer of 10% from the reference price of the S&P 500 Price Index on the first trading day of the month. However, the market could fluctuate on or after the buffer is set and this range allows for market condition volatility. The Fund is not designed to protect against declines of more than 8% to 12% in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index, and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in implementing the buffer protect options strategy to protect against the first 8% to 12% decline. Additionally, even if the Fund mitigates a decline in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index from one Roll Date to the next Roll Date, the Fund’s returns during the Investment Period (prior to the next Roll Date) may not reflect the buffer protect options strategy.
The Fund will invest in either standardized exchange-listed options or in exchange-traded FLexible EXchange Options (“FLEX Options”). FLEX Options are customized exchange-traded option contracts available through the Chicago Board Option Exchange (“Cboe”) that are guaranteed for settlement by The Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). FLEX Options provide investors with the ability to customize exercise prices, exercise styles, and expiration dates, while achieving price discovery in competitive, transparent, auction markets and avoiding the counterparty exposure of over-the-counter (“OTC”) options positions. The Fund will invest in European-style FLEX Options (i.e., they can only be exercised at the expiration date of the option) based on the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index or a S&P 500 Price Index ETF and which have an expiration date that is the last day of the Investment Period only. In general, the Fund intends to invest to the greatest extent possible in FLEX Options, as these options provide the best combination of OCC guarantees, price discovery, customization, and European-style settlement that is ideal for the Fund. However, the Fund may use listed options to provide an additional source of desired market exposure when the Adviser believes doing so will be beneficial to the Fund. The Fund also expects to invest in U.S. Treasury bonds or money market funds that invest in U.S. Treasury bonds.
The Fund is designed to provide the outcomes below (before fees and expenses) during each individual Investment Period. The outcomes would be lower if the fees and expenses were included.
| Change in the Returns of the S&P 500 Price Index | Expected Change in the Returns of the Fund |
| Declines between -8% and -12% (or more) | Declines 8% to 12% percentage points less than the S&P 500 Price Index (e.g., if the S&P 500 Price Index returns -35%, the Fund is designed to return -23% to -27%) |
| Declines between 0% and -8% | No change |
| Appreciates | The Fund’s returns will appreciate to a similar extent as the S&P 500 Price Index |

The charts below illustrate the hypothetical returns that the Fund seeks to provide in certain illustrative scenarios for a shareholder that purchases Shares on the Initial Investment Day and holds such Shares for the entire Investment Period. These charts do not take into account payment by the Fund of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and assume a buffer of 10%. There is no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in providing these investment outcomes for any Investment Period.
The Fund includes a mix of purchased and written (sold) put and call options structured to seek to achieve the results described above. The Fund is designed to seek to achieve the results described above for investments made on the Initial Investment Day and held until the last day of the Investment Period. Investments made on any day other than the Initial Investment Day may differ significantly, positively or negatively, from the results described above. The Fund’s website, www.true-shares.com, contains information about the Fund’s holdings, and the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index as of the Initial Investment Day and the prior business day to assist an investor in understanding the range of results such investor can expect for investments made at times other than on the Initial Investment Day.
Additionally, the Fund’s website provides information relating to the returns of the Fund, including the Fund’s Buffer and its position relative to the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index on a daily basis.
The Fund’s operations are intended to be continuous. It will not terminate and distribute its assets at the conclusion of an Investment Period. On each Roll Date, another Investment Period will commence and the Fund will invest in a new set of options.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with the risks of other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value per share (“NAV”), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund’s Prospectus titled “Additional Information About the Fund.”
| ● | Buffered Strategy Investment Risk. |
| ○ | Buffered Loss Risk. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be successful in its strategy to provide buffer protection against S&P 500 Price Index losses if the S&P 500 Price Index decreases over the Investment Period by 8% or less. A shareholder may lose their entire investment. The Fund’s strategy seeks to deliver returns that match the S&P 500 Price Index (but will be less than the S&P 500 Price Index due to the cost of the options used by the Fund), while limiting downside losses, if Shares are bought on the day on which the Fund enters into the options and held until those options expire at the end of each Investment Period. In the event an investor purchases Shares after the date on which the options were entered into or sells Shares prior to the expiration of the options, the buffer that the Fund seeks to provide may not be available. The Fund does not provide principal protection and an investor may experience significant losses on its investment, including the loss of its entire investment. |
| ○ | Flex Options Risk. The Fund may invest in FLEX Options issued and guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The Fund bears the risk that the OCC will be unable or unwilling to perform its obligations under the FLEX Options contracts. Additionally, FLEX Options may be illiquid, and in such cases, the Fund may have difficulty closing out certain FLEX Options positions at desired times and prices. |
| ○ | Options Risk. The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index. Writing and buying options are speculative activities and entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest, meaning that a small investment in an option could have a substantial impact on the performance of the Fund. The Fund’s use of call and put options can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying stock, index, or other asset, which may be magnified by certain features of the options. These risks are heightened when the Fund’s portfolio manager uses options to enhance the Fund’s return or as a substitute for a position or security. When selling a call or put option, the Fund will receive a premium; however, this premium may not be enough to offset a loss incurred by the Fund if the price of the underlying asset is above or below, respectively, the strike price by an amount equal to or greater than the premium. The value of an option may be adversely affected if the market for the option becomes less liquid or smaller, and will be affected by changes in the value or yield of the option’s underlying asset, an increase in interest rates, a change in the actual or perceived volatility of the stock market or the underlying asset and the remaining time to expiration. Additionally, the value of an option does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying asset(s). The Fund’s use of options, due to the cost of the options, will reduce the Fund’s ability to get returns equal to the S&P 500 Price Index. This means that if the S&P 500 Price Index experiences gains for an Investment Period, the Fund will not benefit to the same extent from those gains. In addition, if the price of the underlying asset of an option is above the strike price of a written call option or below the strike price for a written put option, the value of the option, and consequently of the Fund, may decline significantly more than if the Fund invested directly in the underlying asset instead of using options. The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from the performance of the S&P 500 Price Index and can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks. The Fund could experience a loss if its options do not perform as anticipated, or are not correlated with the performance of their underlying stock or if the Fund is unable to purchase or liquidate a position because of an illiquid secondary market. |
| ○ | Purchase and Sale of Timing Risk. The Fund is designed to protect against the first 8% to 12% decline in the value of the S&P 500 Price Index and provide for participation in any gains, although not to the same extent, as the value of the S&P 500 Price Index, for a 12-month period from one Roll Date to the next Roll Date. Because the options purchased and written by the Fund will expire on the next Roll Date, if you purchase or sell Shares on a date other than a Roll Date or if you hold Shares for more or less than the time from the most recent Roll Date to the next Roll Date, the value of your investment in Shares may not be protected against the first 8% to 12% decline in the value of the S&P 500 Price Index and may not participate in a gain in the value of the S&P 500 Price Index for your investment period. The value of the options purchased and written by the Fund is dependent on, among other factors, the value, implied volatility, and implied dividend rate of the S&P 500 Price Index and interest rates, any or all of which may vary, sometimes significantly, during the period from the most recent Roll Date to the next Roll Date. Consequently, the value of the Fund may not directly track changes in the value of the S&P 500 Price Index in between Roll Dates. |
| 1 |
| ● | Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity incidents may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to Fund assets or proprietary information, or cause the Fund, the Adviser and/or other service providers (including custodians and financial intermediaries) to suffer data breaches or data corruption. Additionally, cybersecurity failures or breaches of the electronic systems of the Fund, the Adviser or the Fund’s other service providers, market makers, Authorized Participants (“APs”), the Fund’s primary listing exchange, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests have the ability to disrupt and negatively affect the Fund’s business operations, including the ability to purchase and sell Shares, potentially resulting in financial losses to the Fund and its shareholders. |
| ● | Equity Market Risk. The Fund invests in options that derive their performance from the S&P 500 Price Index, which is made up of common stocks. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors including: expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises. |
| ● | ETF Risks. The Fund is an ETF, and, as a result of an ETF’s structure, it is exposed to the following risks: |
| ○ | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as APs. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting if either: (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. |
| ○ | 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, 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. |
| ○ | Trading Risk. Although Shares are listed for trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”) and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, 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 the Shares. |
| ● | Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and may not meet its investment objective based on the Adviser’s success or failure to implement investment strategies for the Fund. |
| ● | Market Risk. The trading prices of securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors. These factors include events impacting the entire market or specific market segments, such as political, market and economic developments, as well as events that impact specific issuers. The Fund’s NAV and market price, like security and commodity prices generally, may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years due to a number of these factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions, and the threat of and/or actual imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and other countries. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, acts of terrorism, recessions, rising inflation, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. These developments as well as other events could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets. |
| ● | 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. Money market instruments may lose money. |
| ● | Options Tax Risk. The Fund’s investments in offsetting positions with respect to the S&P 500 Price Index may be considered “straddles” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If positions held by the Fund were treated as “straddles” for federal income tax purposes, or the Fund’s risk of loss with respect to a position was otherwise diminished as set forth in Treasury regulations, dividends on stocks that are a part of such positions would not constitute qualified dividend income subject to such favorable income tax treatment. In addition, generally, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of the Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions. |
| ● | Portfolio Turnover Risk. Because the Fund may “turn over” some or all of its portfolio frequently, the Fund may incur high levels of transaction costs from commissions or mark-ups in the bid/offer spread. Higher portfolio turnover (e.g., in excess of 100% per year) may result in the Fund paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. |
| ● | Tax Efficiency Risk. A significant portion of income received from the Fund may be subject to tax at effective tax rates that are higher than the rates that would apply if the Fund were to engage in a different investment strategy. Additionally, the Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, the Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. Further, to the extent the Fund is able to use certain of its derivatives to effect in-kind redemptions of the Fund’s Shares, such usage may give rise to a taxable event for the Fund. In both cases, the Fund may be required to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in-kind redemption process was used exclusively. In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in-kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and selling Shares. |
| 5 |
| ● | Tax Risk. The Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which requires the Fund to distribute a certain portion of its income and gains each tax year, among other requirements. Similar to other ETFs and pursuant to the Code, when the Fund disposes of appreciated property by distributing such appreciated property in-kind pursuant to a redemption request, the Fund does not expect to recognize any built-in gain in such appreciated property. If the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) disagrees with the Fund’s position as to the applicability of this non-recognition rule to the Fund’s disposition of FLEX Options and subsequent acquisition of other FLEX Options in close connection with the Roll Date, the Fund could be treated as having recognized additional gains from such in-kind distributions of FLEX Options. In such a case, the Fund may not have distributed sufficient income or gains to avoid incurring entity level tax and could potentially fail to qualify as a RIC for being under distributed during the year. The Fund may be able to rectify a failure to meet the distribution requirements for a year by paying “deficiency dividends” to shareholders in a later year, which may be included in the Fund’s deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In this case, the Fund may be able to avoid losing the Fund’s qualification for taxation as a RIC or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends. However, the Fund will be required to pay interest and a penalty based on the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends. If, in any year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund itself generally would be subject to U.S. federal income and potentially excise taxation and distributions (including any distributions of net capital gain) received by shareholders generally would be subject to further U.S. federal income taxation, although corporate shareholders could be eligible for the dividends received deduction (subject to certain limitations) and individuals may be able to benefit from the lower tax rates available to qualified dividend income. Accordingly, disqualification as a RIC would have a significant adverse effect on the value of shares of the Fund. |
| ● | U.S. Treasury Obligations Risk. U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other fixed income securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund’s U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. |
Performance
The Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the TrueShares Structured Outcome (April) ETF, a series of Listed Funds Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), in a tax-free reorganization on August 8, 2025. In connection with this acquisition, shares of the Predecessor Fund were exchanged for shares of the Fund. The Predecessor Fund had an investment objective and strategies that were, in all material respects, the same as those of the Fund, and was managed in a manner that, in all material respects, complied with the investment guidelines and restrictions of the Fund. The Fund is a continuation of the Predecessor Fund, and therefore, the performance information includes the performance of the Predecessor Fund.
The performance information presented below provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the extent to which the Predecessor Fund’s performance can change from year to year and over time. The bar chart below shows the Predecessor Fund’s performance for calendar years ended December 31. The table illustrates how the Fund’s average annual returns for the 1 year and since inception periods compare with those of the S&P 500 Total Return Index, a broad measure of market performance, and the S&P 500 Price Index, which is integral to the Fund’s investment strategy and is comprised of the same components as the S&P 500 Total Return Index but does not include dividends in its calculation. The Predecessor Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the future.
Effective May 1, 2024, the Adviser began managing the Predecessor Fund directly. Prior to May 1, 2024, the Predecessor Fund was managed on a day-to-day basis by an investment sub-adviser. The Predecessor Fund’s performance for periods prior to May 1, 2024 may have differed had the Predecessor Fund been managed directly by the Adviser. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.true-shares.com.
Calender Year Total Returns
| 6 |
The calendar year-to-date total return of the Predecessor Fund as of June 30, 2025 was 4.09%. During the period of time shown in the bar chart, the highest quarterly return was 8.70% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and the lowest quarterly return was -11.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
| Average Annual Total Returns (for the Periods Ended December 31, 2024) |

| TrueShares Structured Outcome (April) ETF | One Year | Since Inception (3/31/2021) | |
| Return Before Taxes | 18.52% | 10.56% | |
| Return After Taxes on Distributions | 17.23% | 9.83% | |

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates during the period covered by the table above and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or other tax-advantaged accounts. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Purchase and Sale of Shares
Shares are listed on the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units,” which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash.Investors may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (ask) when buying or selling Shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). Recent information about the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available on the Fund’s website at www.true-shares.com.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an “Intermediary”), the adviser or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary’s website for more information.
