**FUND SUMMARY - SIMPLIFY GAMMA EMERGING MARKET BOND ETF**

**Investment Objective:** The Simplify Gamma Emerging Market Bond ETF (the "Fund") seeks income and capital appreciation.

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund:** This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. **Investors purchasing or selling shares of the Fund in the secondary market may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table or example below.**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses**<br>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fees | 0.95% |
| Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses<sup>(1)</sup> | 0.01% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.96% |
| Fee Waiver<sup>(2)</sup> | 0.20% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver | 0.76% |

---

(1) Other Expenses are estimated for the Fund's initial fiscal year.

(2) The Fund's adviser has contractually agreed, through at least October 31, 2026 to waive its management fee to 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This agreement may be terminated only by the Trust's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written notice to the Fund's adviser.

***Example:*** This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $77 | $286 |

---

***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. The Fund is a new fund and has no portfolio turnover information as of the date of this Prospectus.

**Principal Investment Strategies:**

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in bonds issued by, or tied economically to, issuers in emerging markets, denominated in USD or local currency.

The Fund has adopted a non-fundamental investment policy that, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in debt securities of issuers in emerging markets. Debt securities include bonds issued by governments, their agencies or instrumentalities, multilateral organizations such as World Bank (as defined below), and corporations. It is expected that the emerging markets in which the Fund will invest will include, among others, Latin America and the Caribbean. The Fund considers an emerging market country to include any country that is (1) generally recognized to be an emerging market country by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (commonly known as "the World Bank"); (2) classified by the United Nations as a developing country; or (3) included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fund's sub-adviser determines that an investment is tied economically to an emerging market if such investment satisfies one or more of the following conditions: (1) the issuer's primary trading market is in an emerging market; (2) the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenues from, or has at least 50% of its assets in emerging markets; and (3) the investment is included in the MSCI Markets Index or the JP Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index. The Fund also may invest in non-emerging market debt securities. The Fund may hedge its non-dollar investments back to the U.S. dollar through the use of derivatives, including futures, but has the ability to invest in bonds denominated in a local currency on an unhedged basis.

The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as junk bonds. The Fund defines junk bonds as those rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or below BBB- by Standard and Poor's Rating Group, or, if unrated, determined by the adviser to be of similar credit quality.

The sub-adviser takes an opportunistic, tactical approach in selecting investments for the Fund. The Fund's investments are not limited to securities of a particular maturity range, duration or credit rating. The sub-adviser applies a top-down macroeconomic analysis in selecting potential emerging market countries and a bottom-up analysis on specific corporate issuers.

The Fund also may invest up to 20% of its portfolio in derivatives such as emerging market credit default swaps (CDS), indices of CDS (CDX) and single-name CDS; foreign exchange (FX) instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency swaps and foreign currency futures contracts. In a CDS, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party on its debt obligation or an index of debt obligations. CDX are designed to track a representative segment of the CDS market (in this case, emerging markets) and provide exposure to specific "baskets" of issuers of debt instruments. CDX can provide the same investment exposure as entering into an individual CDS except with more diversification. Investments in CDS, CDX and FX instruments may be made for hedging, investment and other portfolio management purposes. FX instruments will be utilized for exposure to emerging market countries' currencies, either long or short.

The Fund expects to use these instruments to enhance portfolio flexibility and help achieve its investment objective of income and capital appreciation. Specifically, CDS and CDX may be used to gain or hedge exposure to the creditworthiness of emerging market issuers, while FX instruments may be used to hedge currency risk or express views on emerging market currencies.

When using certain derivatives, the Fund is required to post collateral to assure its performance to the counterparty. The Fund will hold cash and cash-like instruments or high-quality short term fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in reverse repurchase agreements and use the proceeds for investment purposes. Reverse repurchase agreements are contracts in which a seller of securities, for example, U.S. government securities, agrees to buy the securities back at a specified time and price. Reverse repurchase agreements are primarily used by the Fund as an indirect means of borrowing. When the Fund earns more on its additional investments than the interest cost related to the reverse repurchase agreement, it generates additional income.

The Fund's 80% policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees upon 60 days' written notice to shareholders.

The Fund is classified as a "non-diversified" investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which means that the Fund may invest a higher percentage of its assets in a fewer number of issuers than is permissible for a "diversified" fund.

**Principal Investment Risks:** *As with all funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and price of shares and performance. The following describes the risks the Fund bears with respect to its investments. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.*

*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.

*Emerging Markets Risk.* Investing in emerging markets involves not only the risks associated with investments in foreign securities in general, but also other risks, including exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse and mature, limited availability and reliability of information material to an investment decision, and exposure to political systems that can be expected to have less stability than those of developed countries. The market for the securities of issuers in emerging markets typically is small, and a low or nonexistent trading volume in those securities may result in a lack of liquidity and price volatility.

*Latin America Risk.* The economies of Latin American countries have in the past experienced considerable difficulties, including high inflation rates, high interest rates, high unemployment, government overspending and political instability. International economic conditions, particularly those in the United States, Europe and Asia, as well as world prices for oil and other commodities may also influence the development of Latin American economies. Many Latin American countries are highly reliant on the exportation of commodities and their economies may be significantly impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices and the global demand for certain commodities.

*Active Management Risk.* The Fund is subject to the risk that its investment management strategy may not produce the intended results and may negatively impact Fund performance.

*Counterparty and Credit Risk.* The Fund may be exposed to losses if the counterparty to a financial instrument held by the Fund is unable, unwilling, or is perceived (by market participants, ratings agencies or otherwise as unable or unwilling, or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, or otherwise fails to perform its obligations. Counterparty risk may arise because of market activities and developments, the counterparty's financial condition (including financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), or other reasons. The Fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed.

*Credit Default Swaps Risk.* CDS are typically two-party financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. Under a typical CDS, one party (the "seller") receives pre-determined periodic payments from the other party (the "buyer"). The seller agrees to make compensating specific payments to the buyer if a negative credit event occurs, such as the bankruptcy or default by the issuer of the underlying debt instrument. The use of CDS involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions, such as potentially heightened counterparty, concentration and exposure risks.

*CDX Indices Risk.* CDX are benchmark indices made up of credit default swaps. The CDX in which the Fund will invest are issued by emerging market companies. The value of a CDX index will fluctuate in response to changes in the perceived creditworthiness or default experience of the basket of issuers to which the CDX provides exposure. CDX are susceptible to credit risk, counterparty risk, and other risks associated with CDS.

*Derivatives Risk.* The Fund's use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.

*Early Close/Trading Halt Risk.* An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the Fund from buying or selling certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur substantial trading losses.

*ETF Structure Risk.* The Fund is structured as an ETF. As a result, the Fund is subject to the special risks, including:

● *Not Individually Redeemable.* The Fund's shares ("Shares") are not redeemable by retail investors and may be redeemed only by Authorized Participants at net asset value ("NAV") and only in Creation Units. A retail investor generally incurs brokerage costs when selling shares.

● *Trading Issues*. Trading in Shares on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange") may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in Shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange which may result in the Shares being delisted. An active trading market for the Shares may not be developed or maintained. If the Shares are traded outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as Authorized Participants that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the Shares.

● *Market Price Variance Risk.* The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares and will include a "bid-ask spread" charged by the exchange specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the Shares. There may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that Shares may trade at a discount to NAV.

○ In times of market stress, market makers may step away from their role market making in the Shares and in executing trades, which can lead to differences between the market value of the Shares and the Fund's NAV.

○ The market price of the Shares may deviate from the Fund's NAV, particularly during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or significantly less the Shares than the Fund's NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask price for the Shares or in the closing price.

○ In stressed market conditions, the market for the Shares may become less liquid in response to the deteriorating liquidity of the Fund's portfolio. This adverse effect on the liquidity of the Shares may, in turn, lead to differences between the market value of the hares and the Fund's NAV.

● *Closure of Underlying Securities Market*. To the extent that all or a portion of the Fund's underlying securities trade in a market that is closed when the market in which the Fund's shares are listed and trading in that market is open, there may be changes between the last quote from the closed foreign market and the value of such security during the Fund's domestic trading day. In turn, this could lead to differences between the market price of the Fund's shares and the underlying value of its shares.

● *Authorized Participant Risk.* Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of institutions that may act as an Authorized Participant on an agency basis (i.e., on behalf of other market participants). To the extent that Authorized Participants exit the business or are unable to proceed with creation or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Creation Units, Fund shares may be more likely to trade at a premium or discount to net asset value and possibly face trading halts or delisting. Authorized Participant concentration risk may be heightened for securities or instruments that have lower trading volumes.

*Foreign Investment Risk:* The Fund may invest in securities domiciled in countries outside the U.S. that may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value that a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. These investments may be subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed transaction settlement, foreign ownership limits, foreign withholding taxes, difficulties in obtaining legal judgements, repatriation of capital, and less stringent investor protection, disclosure, and accounting standards than those of U.S. market.

*Foreign Currency Risk:* The Fund holds investments that provide exposure to non-U.S. currencies, currency exchange rates or interest rates denominated in such currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates, the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund's investments and the value of Fund shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and your investment in the Fund may experience losses.

*Forward Contracts Risk.* A decision as to whether, when, and how to use forward contracts involves the exercise of skill and judgment and even a well-conceived forward contract transaction may be unsuccessful because of market behavior or unexpected events. The primary risks associated with the use of forward contracts, which may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") and total return, are (i) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a forward contract and the resulting inability to close a forward contract when desired; (ii) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (iii) incorrect predictions of the direction of currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (iv) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (v) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

*Futures Contracts Risk.* The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a forward or futures contract and the resulting inability to close a forward or futures contract when desired; (c) investments in futures contracts involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets in futures can have a disproportionately large impact on the Fund and the Fund can lose more than the principal amount invested; (d) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (e) the adviser's inability to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (f) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (g) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

*Leverage Risk*. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money through reverse repurchase agreements or the use of futures, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund's gains or losses. A reverse repurchase agreement counterparty may fail to return securities to the Fund. Such securities may be costly to replace.

*Limited History Risk.* The Fund is a new ETF and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate.

*Market and Geopolitical Risk*. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, international conflicts, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.

*Non-Diversification Risk*. The Fund's portfolio may focus on a limited number of investments and will be subject to more potential for volatility than a diversified fund.

**Performance:** Because the Fund has only recently commenced investment operations, no performance information is presented for the Fund at this time. In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of the Prospectus. Also, shareholder reports containing financial and performance information will be mailed to shareholder semi-annually. Updated performance information will be available at no cost by visiting www.simplify.us or by calling 1 (855) 772-8488.

**Investment Adviser:** Simplify Asset Management Inc. ("SAMI").

**Sub-Adviser:** Gamma Asset Management LLC ("Gamma"), located at Edificio Ochoa 500 Calle De La Tanca, Suite 305, San Juan, Puerto Rico, serves as investment sub-adviser to the Fund.

**Portfolio Managers:** David Berns, Chief Investment Officer and Ken Miller, Portfolio Manager of SAMI, and Manuel Pelayo Troncoso Acebal, CFA and chief executive officer and Douglas Roman, CFA of Gamma serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. Messrs. Berns, Miller, Troncoso and Roman have each served the Fund as a portfolio manager since it commenced operations and are jointly and primarily responsible for the management of the Fund.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares:** The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in large blocks of 25,000 Shares (each block of Shares is called a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed primarily in-kind for securities but may include cash. Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units in transactions with Authorized Participants, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.

Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and trade at market prices rather than NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV. An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market. Recent information on the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available at <u>www.simplify.us/etfs</u>.

**Tax Information:** The Fund's distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains. A sale of Shares may result in capital gain or loss.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries:** If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as 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 intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
