**Summary Information**

**The Nightview Fund**

**Investment Objective**

The Nightview Fund (the "Fund") seeks long-term capital appreciation, with a goal of outperforming the S&P 500 Total Return Index over a rolling five-year period.

**Fees and Expenses**

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). You may pay other fees on your purchases and sales of Shares, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and examples below.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses** <br>(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| Management Fee<sup>(1)</sup> | 1.25% |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fee | 0.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.00% |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 1.25% |

---

(1) Pursuant to its Advisory Agreement, Nightview Capital, LLC, the Fund's adviser (the "Adviser"), pays all other expenses of the Fund, except for the management fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses and distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Excluded Expenses").

***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. This Example does not reflect the effect of brokerage commissions or other transaction costs you paid in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund Shares. 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 on these assumptions your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** | **5 Years** | **10 Years** |
| $127 | $397 | $686 | $1511 |

---

**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. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 124% of the average value of its portfolio.

**Principal Investment Strategies**

The Fund is actively managed and under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities and instruments issued by or economically tied to U.S. issuers. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities and instruments that trade in U.S. dollars on U.S. exchanges but are economically tied to foreign developed markets, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are issued by U.S. banks (depositories) and represent ownership interests in securities of foreign companies that are deposited with those banks. The Fund may invest in sponsored ADR arrangements wherein the foreign issuer assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depository's transaction fees or unsponsored ADR arrangements wherein the foreign issuer assumes no obligations and the depositary's transaction fees are paid directly by the ADR holder.

In seeking to achieve its investment objective of long-term capital appreciation, with a goal of outperforming the S&P 500 Total Return Index over a rolling five-year period, the Adviser adheres to its long-held belief in long-term, fundamental value investing, and seeks to invest in companies that it believes are trading at a material discount to the Adviser's estimate of fair value, with clear catalysts for a narrowing of that discount over the course of several years. The Adviser's primary focus in attempting to achieve its investment objective is on identifying innovative, forward-looking businesses that can generate growth for the foreseeable future, continually reinvest in the business, and has a focus on providing a superior value proposition to their consumers.

The Adviser's investment approach is focused on forward-looking valuation and analysis and does not practice or incorporate technical analysis in a meaningful way. This investment approach does not rely on or emphasize macro-economic forecasting, such as movements in interest rates or predictions for overall economic growth. The Adviser's investment decisions for the Fund are based upon their analysis of individual securities and where they believe the market prices of such securities will be when looking several years out.

While the Adviser may use stock screeners as ancillary tools, their research process is driven mainly by broad and continuous learning. The Adviser is constantly seeking to learn about new technologies, business models, and innovations of any kind. From there, they seek to identify potentially attractive opportunities utilizing both a top-down and bottom-up approach.

All potential investments for the Fund are viewed in the context of a minimum 3-year investment timeframe. Given the dynamic nature of business and technology, obsolescence risk is a major component of the Adviser's research and analysis, and a position will only be initiated or held if the Adviser believes it would be comfortable holding the position for several years. In the Adviser's view, an ideal investment for the Fund is one that can be held for 10+ years. Consequently, for many positions the Adviser has valuation targets extending out 10+ years, as well as interim targets. These targets are reviewed at least quarterly and updated as necessary to incorporate new information. If a position reaches an interim price target, it may or may not be trimmed depending on its price target several years out and what other opportunities exist at a given time.

Initially, a top-down view of the economy as a whole is undertaken where the Adviser will look to identify sectors of the market it believes may have the highest probability of containing asset mispricing. As a matter of process, the Adviser will generally focus initial research efforts on specific industries or industry sectors which are undergoing a degree of change in business dynamics, technological dynamics, or those that may have fallen out of favor by the current market or business cycle. This forms the initial framework of the Adviser's "top down" approach to security selection.

Once the Adviser has identified a specific industry or industry sector that it believes may fit the above criteria, they apply a rigorous and deliberate research process which may take months or up to several years to complete. The Adviser's research process attempts to understand all the various players within a given industry with the goal of identifying which businesses are most likely to outperform. This research involves a thorough review of company financials, news articles, industry research reports, quarterly earnings calls, and any publicly available industry event transcripts among other information the Adviser believes may be pertinent, such as specific product or service testing.

In aggregate, much of the Adviser's research centers on finding opportunities where company revenue and/or earnings growth has the potential to inflect upwards or sustain long-term growth beyond current market consensus expectations. The Adviser believes these opportunities are generally rare, and to find them requires a nuanced understanding of industry and economic dynamics. When the Adviser believes they have found an opportunity where their expectations for growth are greater than market expectations, they will continue the research and valuation process.

After accumulating knowledge of the various players and prospects within a targeted industry or industry sector, the Adviser will then engage in the bottom-up approach of its investment process. Generally speaking, many traditional valuation processes work reasonably well in a stable business environment (e.g., P/E, DCF with an attached growth rate, etc.). However, when business dynamics are undergoing rapid change, the Adviser believes the valuation process becomes significantly more complicated, and requires a more forward-looking, customized, and nuanced approach. The Adviser will look to create a custom valuation framework that will best reflect the future business prospects of a given company it is researching. An example might be some combination of a relative multiple for a set amount of years, dependent on industry characteristics, followed by a discounted cash flow "DCF" model once the period of rapid change has become more settled, or vice versa depending upon the specific opportunity.

For out-of-favor companies operating in more mature and/or stable industries that are trading at relatively depressed valuations, the Adviser process may contain more traditional valuation techniques. These valuations are anchored in the Adviser's understanding of business dynamics and the aforementioned extensive top-down and bottom-up research process conducted as a matter of initial course.

In general, there are several business traits the Adviser is commonly attracted to, however, there are always tradeoffs and targeted companies may not have all these characteristics and each company is evaluated as a whole:

● **Superior Value Proposition:** One of the first traits the Adviser seeks to identify is a customer-centric business that is relentlessly focused on improving their core customer value proposition.

● **Landgrab Mentality:** The Adviser seeks to own businesses that can be geographically diverse and accessible internationally.

● **Optimized For Scale:** The Adviser believes scale is imperative to many companies in the Internet era. Industry sectors are trending towards "winner take all" or "winner take most" dynamics in many instances.

● **Platform Models:** The Adviser is attracted to platform models, or companies that can act as a bridge or conduit between a mass of people and products and/or services.

● **Effective Capital Allocators:** The Adviser seeks out management that can generate cash flow and invest it effectively and efficiently back into the business through R&D and new product development. The goal of this cycle is to continually improve the value proposition to customers, thereby widening a company's moat, keeping out competition, and developing new areas of potential revenue growth.

In searching for potential investments for the Fund, the Adviser considers the entire publicly traded US equity universe, focusing primarily, but not exclusively, on growth sectors. The Adviser does not target any specific issuer size or characteristics, but simply goes where its research and analysis leads. Specifically, the Adviser segments the market into different "industries" or "industry sectors" and seeks to identify areas where the Adviser believes its long time horizon and deep research and analysis process can provide a competitive advantage over the market at large. The terms "industry" and "industry sector" may describe a group of companies that focus on a shared niche or specialized market spanning multiple industries. For example, Amazon may be listed under the internet industry and consumer cyclical sectors, but when evaluating it as an investment opportunity, the Adviser views it as multiple distinct businesses. The Adviser looks at and values Amazon Web Services (AWS) separately from the e-commerce side, and therefore the company gets segmented into two distinct "industries" or "industry sectors" – cloud computing and e-commerce. Industries and industry sectors can encompass industries with new or emergent technologies and/or business models that the Adviser believes are under researched and/or misunderstood. The Adviser also considers investment issuers in industries that are out of favor for understandable reasons but have no or limited obsolescence risk and can provide attractive opportunities simply by having a longer time horizon.

The characteristics and criteria that the Adviser looks for in selecting portfolio securities for the Fund can vary depending on the issuer's type of business and where it is in its growth cycle. Because all stocks have unique characteristics and tradeoffs, the Adviser seeks to be flexible when looking for attractive opportunities. For example, the Adviser does not screen based on market cap size or profitability/growth metrics and is open to investing in a small-cap or mega cap stock, or one with a low P/E and another that is not currently profitable. The Adviser does not have a target market cap for the Fund's portfolio investments, but generally invests in issuers in the mid-cap to mega cap range. The Adviser's approach is simply to go where its research leads, and all investment decisions are based upon forward-looking analysis for each company.

While not all attractive investment opportunities fit into a standard bucket, the Adviser believes that an ideal target investment for the Fund generally would have the following characteristics:

● Can be potentially held for 10+ years, but the Adviser will not enter a position if it does not believe it can be held comfortably for at least 3 years

● An attractive risk/reward profile based on the conviction the Adviser has in its fair value estimates and the upside potential when compared to current market prices

● An ability to grow revenue, cash flow, and profits comfortably for years to come

● Low risk of obsolescence

● Forward looking, often founder-led management teams with significant "skin in the game"

● A commitment to innovation, improvement, and providing the best value proposition to customers

● A long, clear growth runway with optionality to expand into new or ancillary business lines

The Fund's portfolio will typically include 15 – 25 securities, and the Fund is characterized as non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will be fully invested and hold no more than 5% of its assets in cash or cash equivalents.

Sector and industry allocations are determined internally by the Adviser, which also utilizes the aforementioned "industry" or "industry sector" classification that may not match typical industry and sector classifications. The overall portfolio allocation to a given industry or sector will vary dependent upon the valuation and/or opportunity that the Adviser believes to exist at any given time.

The Adviser believes that the Fund has unique advantages and differentiators from many other ETFs and mutual funds. It is a "best ideas" portfolio that is characterized as non-diversified for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and typically will be less diversified than many ETFs or mutual funds. Many ETFs are niche, specialty, or sector-focused, whereas the Fund can go wherever the Adviser sees the best opportunities, and is not constrained to a certain market cap, style, or sector. The Adviser believes that the Fund can be a core holding for investors with long time horizons seeking capital appreciation. However, the Fund's performance will most likely be more volatile than the S&P 500 Total Return Index given the level of its diversification relative to the Index.

**Principal Investment Risks**

The value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate and is subject to investment risks, which means investors could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Please see "Additional Principal Risk Information" in this Prospectus for a more detailed description of the Fund's risks. It is possible to lose money on an investment in the Fund. The first five risks are presented in an order that reflects the Adviser's current assessment of relative importance, but this assessment could change over time as the Fund's portfolio changes or in light of changes in the market or the economic environment, among other things. The remaining risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate your ability to find particular risks and compare them with the risk of other funds. The Fund is not required to and will not update this Prospectus solely because its assessment of the relative importance of the principal risks of investing in the Fund changes. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

***Equity Securities Risk.*** The prices of equity securities held by the Fund may rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual issuers, industries or the stock market as a whole.

***Market Risk.*** The market price of a security or instrument could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The Fund's investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally, or particular industries or sectors represented in those markets. The Fund's investments are subject to the following market-related risks, among others: significant earnings shortfalls or gains, inflation, recessions, government shutdowns, market closures, market manipulation and other fraudulent practices, trade disputes, tariff arrangements, sanctions, and cybersecurity attacks; geopolitical risks, including wars, military conflict, terrorism, government shutdowns, and concerns about sovereign debt; natural and environmental disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes; and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics. The market value of a security may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry.

***Non-Diversification Risk.*** Investment in the securities of a limited number of issuers or sectors exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potentially greater market losses than if its investments were diversified in securities and sectors.

***Issuer-Specific Risk.*** Changes in the financial condition or market perception of an issuer may have a negative impact on the value of the Fund, and this risk may be exacerbated but by the relatively small number of positions that the Fund holds.

***Secondary Market Liquidity Risk.*** Shares of the Fund may trade at prices other than NAV. As with all exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of the Fund's shares in the secondary market generally differ from the Fund's daily NAV and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV (premium) or less than the NAV (discount). This risk is heightened during periods of market volatility or steep market declines. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. When an ETF is first launched, it is unlikely to have immediate secondary market liquidity. There is likely to be a lead market maker making markets of significant size, but it is unlikely there will be many market participants on day one of trading. This lack of secondary market liquidity may make it difficult for investors to transact in Fund shares in the market, and the market price consequently may deviate from the Fund's NAV. As the Fund begins to trade and as client interest increases, more and more market participants buy or sell shares of the Fund, and secondary market liquidity will grow. While all ETFs can be held for prolonged periods or intraday, some ETFs experience more secondary market trading than others.

***Cash Transactions Risk.*** Although the Fund effects its creations and redemptions primarily in-kind, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may effect certain creations and redemptions for cash rather than in-kind securities. In effecting such cash transactions, the Fund will incur brokerage costs that might not have been incurred if the purchase or redemption of creation units were effected in kind, and these costs could be imposed on the Fund, and thus decrease the Fund's net asset value, to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an authorized participant. When the Fund effects its creations and redemptions for cash, it may also have to sell portfolio securities at inopportune times to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund's shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV.

***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 result in the Fund being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments, and/or may incur substantial trading losses.

***Foreign Security Risk.*** Foreign investments, including ADRs, are subject to sovereign risk and may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements may not be comparable. Depending on the specifics of the investment, the Fund's foreign investments may also be subject to the following specific risks:

●  ***ADR Risk.*** Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are associated with direct investments in securities of foreign issues (see, "Foreign Security Risk" above). These risks may adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments in ADRs. In addition, ADRs may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading In a sponsored ADR arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depository's transaction fees Under an unsponsored ADR arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes no obligations and the depositary's transaction fees are paid directly by the ADR holders. Because unsponsored ADR arrangements are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities, available information concerning the foreign issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs, and voting rights with respect to the deposited securities are not passed through.

***Growth Investing Risk.*** To the extent that the Fund invests in growth-oriented securities, the Adviser's perception of the underlying companies' growth potentials may be wrong, or the securities purchased may not perform as expected.

***Large or Mega-Cap Company Risk.*** The Fund will invest a relatively large percentage of its assets in the securities of large-capitalization and/or mega-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of large-capitalization companies and/or mega-capitalization companies underperform securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

***Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk.*** Because the Fund is an ETF, only a limited number of institutional investors (known as "Authorized Participants") are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occurs, the risk of which is higher during periods of market stress, the Fund's shares may trade at a material discount to net asset value ("NAV") and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants 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.

***Management Risk.*** The Adviser continuously evaluates the Fund's holdings, purchases and sales with a view to achieving the Fund's investment objectives. However, the achievement of the stated investment objectives cannot be guaranteed. Various legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. The Adviser's judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. The models used by the Adviser may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets. If the Adviser is incorrect in its assessment of the income, growth or price realization potential of the Fund's holdings or incorrect in its assessment of general market or economic conditions, then the value of the Fund's shares may decline.

***Mid-Cap Company Risk.*** Mid-cap companies face a greater risk of loss and price fluctuations than larger companies. Many of these companies are younger and have a more limited track record than larger companies. Their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more mature companies, making them more volatile and more difficult to buy or sell at an acceptable price. These companies may also lack the managerial, financial or other resources necessary to implement their business plans or succeed in the face of competition.

***Operational Risk.*** The Fund and its service providers may experience disruptions that arise from human error, processing and communications errors, counterparty or third-party errors, technology or systems failures, any of which may have an adverse impact on the Fund.

***Sector Risk.*** The Adviser may allocate more of the Fund's investments to a particular sector or sectors in the market. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its total assets in certain sectors, its portfolio will be more susceptible to financial, economic, business, and political developments affecting those sectors. Because the Fund is also non-diversified and has a relatively small number of issuers, poor performance by such sectors, or even by individual issuers within such sectors, may adversely affect the Fund's performance, including its performance relative to the Fund's benchmark, which is more diversified and less sector-targeted than the Fund.

***Small-Cap Company Risk.*** Investments in securities of small-cap companies may be riskier, more volatile, and more vulnerable to economic, market, and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Small-cap companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels, or financial resources, and the management of such companies may be dependent on one or a few key people. The equity securities of small-cap companies are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies.

***Smaller Fund Risk.*** A smaller fund is subject to the risk that its performance may not reflect how the fund is expected to perform in the long term. In addition, smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve an economically viable size, in which case it could ultimately liquidate. The Fund may be liquidated by the Board without a shareholder vote. In a liquidation, shareholders of the Fund will receive an amount equal to the Fund's NAV, after deducting the costs of liquidation, including the transaction costs of disposing of the Fund's portfolio investments. Receipt of a liquidation distribution may have negative tax consequences for shareholders. Additionally, during the Fund's liquidation, all or a portion of the Fund's portfolio may be invested in a manner not consistent with its investment objective and investment policies.

***Trading Risk.*** Shares of the Fund may trade on the NYSE Arca (the "Exchange") above (premium) or below (discount) their NAV. The NAV of shares of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings. The market prices of the Fund's shares will fluctuate continuously throughout trading hours based on market supply and demand and may deviate significantly from the value of the Fund's holdings, particularly in times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay more or receive less than the underlying value of the Fund shares bought or sold. When buying or selling shares in the secondary market, you 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), which is known as the bid-ask spread. In addition, although the Fund's shares are currently listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained. Trading in Fund shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares of the Fund inadvisable. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. In such circumstances, the Fund's shares could trade at a premium or discount to their NAV.

***Value Investing Risk.*** The determination that a security is undervalued is subjective. Investments in "value" securities may never reach what the Adviser believes are their full fair market values, either because the market fails to recognize what the Adviser considers to be the companies' true business values or because the Adviser misjudges those values. In addition, value stocks may fall out of favor with investors, decrease in value, and underperform growth stocks during given periods.

**Performance Information**

**Fund's Past Performance**

The performance information shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an Average Annual Total Returns table. The information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in its performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns compare with the returns of a broad-based securities market index.

The Nightview Capital Fund, LP – Series B (formerly known as The Worm Capital Fund, LP – Series B), a privately offered fund which employed the same investment strategy as the Fund and was managed by the Fund's portfolio managers (the "Predecessor Fund), was reorganized into the Fund on June 21, 2024, subsequent to the transfer of assets by the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on March 1, 2018, 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. However, the privately offered fund was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), and the privately offered fund was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance.

The Fund's performance for periods prior to the commencement of operations on June 21, 2024 is that of the Predecessor Fund (Predecessor Fund performance shown is net of a 1.25% annual management fee in addition to expenses such as audit, tax, and administration fees passed through to investors). The performance of the Predecessor Fund has not been restated to reflect the fees, expenses, and fee waivers and/or expense limitations applicable to shares of the Fund. However, if the performance of the Predecessor Fund had been restated to reflect the applicable fees and expenses of the shares of the Fund, the performance would have been slightly higher than the performance shown in the bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below because of the passthrough of related fund expenses to investors of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund will have a 1.25% management fee but will not pass through other fund expenses, which will be borne by the Adviser. For periods following the Fund's commencement of operations on June 21, 2024, the performance shown is the performance of the Fund's shares and may differ as a result of the different levels of fees and expenses applicable to the Fund's shares. *The Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.*

**Calendar Year Total Returns<sup>(1)</sup>**

![](pro_002.jpg)

<sup>1</sup> The reported Total Return figures for the Predecessor Fund for each of the calendar years referenced in the bar chart above prior to June 21, 2024 may be slightly lower than those reflected in the Predecessor Fund's audited financial statements because the performance figures in the audited financial statements reflect the fact that the Predecessor Fund's management fee was either not charged or was charged at a lower rate to certain investors of the Predecessor Fund, including investors who were employees or otherwise affiliated with the Predecessor Fund's General Partner/Investment Adviser, while the performance results in the bar chart assume that a 1.25% management fee was paid by all investors in addition to passthrough expenses such as audit, tax, and administration fees.

**Best and Worst Quarter Returns (for the period reflected in the bar chart above)**

During the periods shown in the bar chart, the Fund's highest return for a calendar quarter was 54.72% (quarter ending 03/31/2023) and the Fund's lowest return for a calendar quarter was (45.51)% (quarter ending 12/31/2022).

The Fund's year-to-date return as of March 31, 2026 is (7.88)%.

The following table shows how average annual total returns of the Fund compared to those of the Fund's benchmark.

<sup>1</sup> The Fund is the accounting successor to The Nightview Capital Fund, LP - Series B (formerly known as The Worm Capital Fund, LP – Series B), a privately offered fund which employed the same investment strategy as the Fund and was managed by the Fund's portfolio managers, and for which the Adviser served as the sole adviser (the "Predecessor Fund"). In a transaction consummated on June 21, 2024, the Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund. Accordingly, the performance results shown above in the bar chart and the average annual total returns table for periods prior to June 21, 2024 represent the performance of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund's performance has not been restated to reflect any differences in expenses paid by the Predecessor Fund and those paid by the Fund.

<sup>2</sup> After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your 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 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, the return after taxes may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of shares of the Fund at the end of the measurement period.

<sup>3</sup> The S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Total Return Index is market-cap weighted index of 500 leading US companies covering approximately 80% of available market capitalization and is widely regarded as the best single gauge of large-cap U.S. equities. Total return indices compute the index value based on capital gains plus cash payments such as dividends and interest.

**Investment Adviser**

Nightview Capital, LLC serves as the investment adviser to the Fund. Nightview Capital is a Delaware limited liability company and is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Trading Subadviser**

Trading Subadviser - Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the "Trading Sub-Adviser" or ETC) serves as the trading sub-adviser for the Fund. ETC is an Oklahoma limited liability company and is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Portfolio Manager**

Arne Alsin has served as portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception on March 1, 2018, and is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

**Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares**

The Fund issues shares to, and redeems shares from, certain institutional investors known as "Authorized Participants" (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) only in large blocks of shares known as "Creation Units." Creation Unit sales and redemptions for the Fund generally are conducted as in-kind transactions. You can purchase and sell individual shares of the Fund throughout the trading day like any publicly traded security. The Fund's shares are listed on the Exchange. The price of the Fund's shares is based on a market price and, because exchange-traded fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). When buying or selling shares of the Fund in the secondary market, you 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) (the "bid-ask spread"). Recent information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spreads is available at http://www.nightviewfund.com.

**Tax Information**

Distributions made by the Fund may be taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or long-term capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement account. In that case, you may be taxed when you take a distribution from such account, depending on the type of account, the circumstances of your distribution, and other factors.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Adviser 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.

**Additional Information about Principal Investment Strategies and the Adviser's Research Process**

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, with a goal of outperforming the S&P 500 Total Return Index over a rolling five-year period. The Fund may change its investment objective with Board approval and by providing 60 days' notice to shareholders without shareholder approval.

The Fund is an actively managed ETF and, thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified passive index of securities. Instead, the Fund uses an active investment strategy in seeking to meet its investment objective. The Adviser, subject to the oversight of the Board, has discretion on a daily basis to manage the Fund's portfolio in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and investment policies.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities and instruments issued by or economically tied to U.S. issuers. For purposes of this policy, the Fund considers a security or instrument to be economically tied to a U.S. issuer if the issuer (a) has been organized under the laws of, or has a principal place of business in, the United States, (b) derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in the United States, or (c) has the principal trading market for its securities in the United States. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in securities and instruments issued by, or economically tied to, foreign developed market issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are issued by U.S. banks (depositories) and represent ownership interests in securities of foreign companies that are deposited with those banks. The Fund may invest in sponsored ADR arrangements wherein the foreign issuer assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depository's transaction fees or unsponsored ADR arrangements wherein the foreign issuer assumes no obligations and the depositary's transaction fees are paid directly by the ADR holder. These investment policies may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days' notice to shareholders.

The Adviser does not believe in or practice macro forecasting such as the direction of interest rates, currencies, or the overall of the economy. It does, however, seek to identify particular themes or secular trends within the broader economy that it believes can provide large opportunities for years to come. Examples of themes that the Adviser has identified over the years that that it has managed the Fund's investment strategy are the shift from on-premises to cloud computing, the shift from cable to streaming video, the shift from combustion engine vehicles to EVs, and the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy. The Adviser seeks to identify these themes as early on as possible and then gain conviction that they are ultimately sustainable and that they provide a better solution than those currently being employed.

Once the Adviser has conviction in a particular theme or secular trend, it moves to a bottom-up process and seeks to identify and analyze all players across the entire value chain, with the ultimate goal of investing in those issuers whom the Adviser believes will be the ultimate winners over the long-term. These can be producers of end products or services, or intermediary companies in the value chain.

**INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S NON-PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES**

***Temporary Defensive Position*:** During periods when the Fund's assets (or portion thereof) are not fully invested in accordance with the above, all or a portion of the Fund may be invested in cash instruments, which for this purpose include U.S. Treasury obligations; cash and cash equivalents including commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances; repurchase agreements; shares of money market mutual funds; and high-quality, short-term debt instruments including, in addition to U.S. Treasury obligations, other U.S. government securities (collectively, "Cash Instruments"). Additionally, to respond to certain adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the Fund may invest 100% of its assets, without limitation, in cash instruments. The Fund may be invested in this manner for extended periods, depending on the Adviser's assessment of market conditions. During this time, the Fund may not be able to meet its investment objective. To the extent that the Fund invests in ETFs or money market mutual funds, the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of each such ETF or money market fund's advisory fees and operational expenses.

**Additional Principal Risk Information**

The following section provides additional information regarding certain of the principal risks identified under "Principal Investment Risks" in the Fund's Summary, as well as additional risk information. The Fund's Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains more detailed information about the Fund's investment policies and risks.

***Equity Securities Risk.*** The prices of equity securities in which the Fund invests may rise and fall daily. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Individual companies may report better than expected results or be positively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may increase in response. In addition, the equity market tends to move in cycles, which may cause stock prices to rise over short or extended periods of time.

***Market Risk.*** An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, government shutdowns, trade disputes, tariff arrangements, sanctions, cybersecurity attacks, and perceived trends in securities prices. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities.

The values of the securities in which the Fund invests could decline generally or could underperform other investments. Different types of securities tend to go through cycles of out-performance and under-performance in comparison to the general securities markets. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical and other events will disrupt securities markets, adversely affect global economies and markets and thereby decrease the value of the Fund's investments. The prior wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria have had a substantial effect on the economies and securities markets of the U.S. and other countries. Russia's military incursions in Ukraine have led to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Russia's military incursion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of the Fund's investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Fund may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or resulting sanctions may magnify the impact of other risks described in this section. Hamas militants launched a brutal terror attack against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, and, in response, Israel declared war on Hamas and Israeli Defense Forces invaded the Gaza Strip. Actual or threatened military conflict involving the U.S. and Iran, including direct hostilities, cyber operations, or expanded sanctions, could increase energy price volatility, disrupt global supply chains and shipping lanes, impair issuer operations and liquidity, and adversely affect a Fund's performance and net asset value. Such events may also heighten market, interest rate, inflation, and currency risks across both energy and non-energy holdings. Actual hostilities or the threat of future hostilities in the broader Middle East region may cause significant volatility and disruption to the securities markets, and adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of the Fund's investments.

***Non-Diversification Risk.*** Investment in the securities of a limited number of issuers or sectors exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potentially greater market losses than if its investments were diversified in securities and sectors.

***Issuer-Specific Risk.*** Issuer-specific events, including changes in the financial condition or market perception of an issuer, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security, and changes in general economic or political conditions, may have a negative impact on the value of the Fund, and this risk may be exacerbated but by the relatively small number of positions that the Fund holds.

***Secondary Market Liquidity Risk.*** Shares of the Fund may trade at prices other than NAV. As with all exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The trading prices of the Fund's shares in the secondary market generally differ from the Fund's daily NAV and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV (premium) or less than the NAV (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. When an ETF is first launched, it is unlikely to have immediate secondary market liquidity. There is likely to be a lead market maker making markets of significant size, but it is unlikely there will be many market participants on day one of trading. This lack of secondary market liquidity may make it difficult for investors to transact in Fund shares in the market, and the market price consequently may deviate from the Fund's NAV. As the Fund begins to trade and as client interest increases, more and more market participants buy or sell shares of the Fund and secondary market liquidity will grow. While all ETFs can be held for prolonged periods or intraday, some ETFs experience more secondary market trading than others.

***Cash Transactions Risk.*** Although the Fund effects its creations and redemptions primarily in-kind, unlike other ETFs, the Fund may effect certain creations and redemptions for cash rather than in-kind securities. In effecting such cash transactions, the Fund will incur brokerage costs that might not have been incurred if the purchase or redemption of creation units were effected in kind, and these costs could be imposed on the Fund, and thus decrease the Fund's net asset value, to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an authorized participant. When the Fund effects its creations and redemptions for cash, it also may have to sell portfolio securities

at inopportune times in order to obtain the cash needed to meet redemption orders. This may cause the Fund to sell a security and recognize a capital gain or loss that might not have been incurred if it had made a redemption in-kind. The use of cash creations and redemptions may also cause the Fund's shares to trade in the market at wider bid-ask spreads or greater premiums or discounts to the Fund's NAV.

***Early Close/Trading Halt Risk.*** An exchange or market may close early or issue trading halts on specific securities or financial instruments. The ability to trade certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may disrupt the Fund's creation and redemption process, potentially affect the price at which the Fund's shares trade in the secondary market, and/or result in the Fund being unable to trade 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/or may incur substantial trading losses*.*

***Foreign Security Risk.*** Foreign investments, including ADRs, are subject to sovereign risk and may be adversely affected by changes in currency exchange rates, future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws or restrictions There may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements may not be comparable. Depending on the specifics of the investment, the Fund's foreign investments may also be subject to the following specific risks:

●  ***ADR Risk.*** Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are associated with direct investments in securities of foreign issues (see, "Foreign Security Risk" above). These risks may adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments in ADRs. In addition, ADRs may not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading In a sponsored ADR arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depository's transaction fees Under an unsponsored ADR arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes no obligations and the depositary's transaction fees are paid directly by the ADR holders. Because unsponsored ADR arrangements are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities, available information concerning the foreign issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs, and voting rights with respect to the deposited securities are not passed through.

***Growth Investing Risk.*** To the extent that the Fund invests in growth-oriented securities, the Adviser's perception of the issuers' growth potentials may be wrong, or the securities purchased may not perform as expected. Because of their perceived growth potential, growth stocks typically trade at higher price-to-earnings multiples. Generally, the value of growth stocks changes in response to the markets' perceptions of the issuers' growth potentials and of the broader economic picture.

***Large or Mega-Cap Company Risk.*** The Fund may invest a relatively large percentage of its assets in the securities of large-capitalization or mega-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund's performance may be adversely affected if securities of large/mega-capitalization companies underperform (or in the case of short positions, outperform) securities of smaller-capitalization companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large/mega-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and, therefore, subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

***Limited Authorized Participants, Market Makers and Liquidity Providers Risk.*** Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. Particularly in times of market stress, Authorized Participants, market makers, or liquidity providers may exit the business, reduce their business activities, or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders, and there is a possibility that no other entities will step forward to perform these services. This may result in a significantly diminished trading market for the Fund's shares, differences between the market price of the Fund's shares and the underlying value of those shares, and delisting of the shares.

***Management Risk.*** The Adviser continuously evaluates the Fund's holdings, purchases and sales with a view to achieving the Fund's investment objectives. However, the achievement of the stated investment objectives cannot be guaranteed. Various legislative, regulatory, or tax restrictions, policies or developments may affect the investment techniques available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund and may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. The Adviser's judgments about the markets, the economy, or companies may not anticipate actual market movements, economic conditions, or company performance, and these judgments may affect the return on your investment. The models used by the Adviser may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets. If the Adviser is incorrect in its assessment of the income, growth or price realization potential of the Fund's holdings or incorrect in its assessment of general market or economic conditions, then the value of the Fund's shares may decline.

***Mid-Cap Company Risk.*** Investments in securities of mid-cap companies may be riskier, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market, and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Mid-cap companies may have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels, or financial resources, and the management of such companies may be dependent on one or a few key people. Mid-cap companies may be unable to generate funds necessary for growth or potential development or may be developing or marketing new products or services for markets that are not yet firmly established. In addition, such companies may become subject to intense competition from larger more established companies. The equity securities of mid-cap companies are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies. In many instances, the securities of mid-cap companies are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies. Some securities may be inactively traded and thus may not be readily bought or sold.

***Operational Risk.*** Your ability to transact in shares of the Fund or the valuation of your investment may be negatively impacted because of the operational risks arising from factors such as processing errors and human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel, and errors caused by third party service providers or trading counterparties. Although the Fund attempts to minimize such failures through controls and oversight, it is not possible to identify all of the operational risks that may affect the Fund or to develop processes and controls that completely eliminate or mitigate the occurrence of such failures. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result.

***Sector Risk.*** The Adviser may allocate more of the Fund's investments to a particular sector or sectors in the market. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its total assets in certain sectors, its investment portfolio will be more susceptible to the financial, economic, business, and political developments that affect those sectors.

***Small-Cap Company Risk.*** Investments in securities of small-cap companies may be riskier, more volatile, and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investments in larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term. Small-cap companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels, or financial resources, and the management of such companies may be dependent on one or a few key people. Small-cap companies may be unable to generate funds necessary for growth or potential development, or may be developing or marketing new products or services for markets that are not yet firmly established. In addition, such companies may become subject to intense competition from larger more established companies. The equity securities of small-cap companies are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies. In many instances, the securities of smaller companies are traded only over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange, and the frequency and volume of their trading is substantially less than is typical of larger companies. Some securities may be inactively traded and thus may not be readily bought or sold.

***Smaller Fund Risk.*** A smaller fund's performance may not represent how the fund is expected to or may perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger and has fully implemented its investment strategies. Investment positions may have a disproportionate impact (negative or positive) on performance in smaller funds. Smaller funds may also require a period of time before they are fully invested in securities that meet their investment objectives and policies and achieve a representative portfolio composition. Fund performance may be lower or higher during this "ramp-up" period, and may also be more volatile, than would be the case after the fund is fully invested. Similarly, a smaller fund's investment strategy may require a longer period of time to show returns that are representative of the strategy. Smaller funds may not attract sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. If a smaller fund were to fail to successfully implement its investment strategies or achieve its investment objective, performance may be negatively impacted. Further, when a fund's size is small, the fund may experience low trading volumes and wide bid/ask spreads. In addition, a fund may face the risk of being delisted if the fund does not meet certain conditions of the listing exchange. If a fund were to be required to delist from the listing exchange, the value of a fund may rapidly decline, and performance may be negatively impacted. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve an economically viable size. Any of the foregoing may result in the Fund being liquidated. The Fund may be liquidated by the Board without a shareholder vote. In a liquidation, shareholders of the Fund will receive an amount equal to the Fund's NAV, after deducting the costs of liquidation, including the transaction costs of disposing of the Fund's portfolio investments. Receipt of a liquidation distribution may have negative tax consequences for shareholders. Additionally, during the Fund's liquidation all or a portion of the Fund's portfolio may be invested in a manner not consistent with its investment objective and investment policies.

***Trading Risk.*** Although Fund shares are listed for trading on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. Secondary market trading in the Fund's shares may be halted by the Exchange because of market conditions or for other reasons. In addition, trading in the Fund's shares is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to "circuit breaker" rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund's shares will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

Shares of the Fund may trade at, above or below their most recent NAV. The per share NAV of the Fund is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the Fund's holdings since the prior most recent calculation. The market prices of the Fund's shares will fluctuate continuously throughout trading hours based on market supply and demand. The trading prices of the Fund's shares may deviate significantly from the value of the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings, particularly in times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay more or receive less than the underlying value of the Fund shares bought or sold. This can be reflected as a spread between the bid and ask prices for the Fund's shares quoted during the day or a premium or discount in the closing price from the Fund's NAV. In stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. These factors, among others, may lead to the Fund's shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV. However, given that shares of the Fund can be created and redeemed only in Creation Units at NAV (unlike shares of many closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAVs), the Adviser does not believe that large discounts or premiums to NAV will exist for extended periods of time. While the creation/redemption feature is designed to make it likely that the Fund's shares normally will trade close to the Fund's NAV, exchange prices are not expected to correlate exactly with the Fund's NAV due to timing reasons as well as market supply and demand factors. In addition, disruptions to creations and redemptions or the existence of extreme volatility may result in trading prices that differ significantly from NAV.

As with all ETFs, the Fund's shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the Fund's 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. If a shareholder purchases at a time when the market price of the Fund is at a premium to its NAV or sells at time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV, the shareholder may sustain losses.

Investors buying or selling shares of the Fund in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of Fund shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for shares of the Fund (the "bid" price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares of the Fund (the "ask" price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the "spread" or "bid/ask spread." The bid/ask spread varies over time for shares of the Fund based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Fund's shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund's shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares of the Fund, including bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of such shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in the Fund's shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

***Value Investing Risk.*** The determination that a security is undervalued is subjective. The market may not agree with the Adviser's determination and the security's price may not rise to what the Adviser believes is its full fair value.

**Buying and Selling Fund Shares**

**General**

Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange. When you buy or sell shares of the Fund on the secondary market, you will pay or receive the market price. You may incur customary brokerage commissions and charges and may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round-trip (purchase and sale) transaction. The shares of the Fund will trade on the Exchange at prices that may differ to varying degrees from the daily NAV of such shares. A business day with respect to the Fund is any day on which the Exchange is open for business. The Exchange is generally open Monday through Friday and is closed on weekends and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

The per share NAV of the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (*i.e.,* the value of its total assets minus total liabilities) by its total number of shares outstanding. Expenses and fees, including management and distribution fees, if any, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV. NAV is determined each business day, normally as of the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time).

When determining NAV, the value of the Fund's portfolio securities is based on market prices of such securities, which generally means a valuation obtained from an exchange or other market (or based on a price quotation or other equivalent indication of the value supplied by an exchange or other market) or a valuation obtained from an independent pricing service. If a security's market price is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately reflect the fair value of the security, the security will be valued by another method that the Trust's Fair Valuation Designee believes will better reflect fair value in accordance with the Trust's valuation policies and procedures, as approved by the Board. Fair value pricing may be used in a variety of circumstances, including but not limited to situations when the value of a security in the Fund's portfolio has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market on which the security is principally traded but prior to the close of the Exchange (such as in the case of a corporate action or other news that may materially affect the price of a security) or trading in a security has been suspended or halted. Accordingly, the Fund's NAV may reflect certain portfolio securities' fair values rather than their market prices.

Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security will materially differ from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

**Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares**

The Fund does not impose any restrictions on the frequency of purchases and redemptions of Creation Units; however, the Fund reserves the right to reject or limit purchases at any time as described in the SAI. When evaluating whether such a restriction or policy was necessary, the Board evaluated the risks posed by arbitrage and market timing activities, such as whether frequent purchases and redemptions would interfere with the efficient implementation of the Fund's investment strategy, or whether they would cause the Fund to experience increased transaction costs. The Board considered that, unlike traditional mutual funds, shares of the Fund are issued and redeemed only in large quantities of shares known as Creation Units available only from the Fund directly to Authorized Participants, and that most trading in the Fund occurs on the Exchange at prevailing market prices and does not involve the Fund directly. Given this structure, the Board determined that it is unlikely that trading due to arbitrage opportunities or market timing by shareholders would result in negative impact to the Fund or its shareholders. In addition, frequent trading of shares of the Fund by Authorized Participants and arbitrageurs is critical to ensuring that the market price remains at or close to NAV.

**Distribution and Service Plan**

The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act pursuant to which payments of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets may be made for the sale and distribution of its shares. No payments have been made pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan. The accrual of 12b-1 fees pursuant to the Distribution and Service Plan may only be imposed after approval by the Board. Because these fees, if imposed, would be paid out of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, if payments are made in the future, these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

**Dividends, Distributions and Taxes**

**Fund Distributions**

The Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually.

**Dividend Reinvestment Service**

Brokers may make available to their customers who own shares of the Fund the Depository Trust Company book-entry dividend reinvestment service. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and capital gains will automatically be reinvested in additional whole shares of the Fund purchased on the secondary market. Without this service, investors would receive their distributions in cash. To determine whether the dividend reinvestment service is available and whether there is a commission or other charge for using this service, consult your broker. Brokers may require the Fund's shareholders to adhere to specific procedures and timetables.

**Tax Information**

The following is a summary of some important U.S. federal income tax issues that affect the Fund and its shareholders. The summary is based on current tax laws, which may be changed by legislative, judicial or administrative action. You should not consider this summary to be a comprehensive explanation of the tax treatment of the Fund, or the tax consequences of an investment in the Fund. This summary does not apply to shares held in an individual retirement account or other tax-qualified plans, which are generally not subject to current tax. Transactions relating to shares held in such accounts may, however, be taxable at some time in the future. More information about taxes is located in the SAI.

**You are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding specific questions as to federal, state and local income taxes.**

***Tax Status of the Fund***

The Fund has elected and intends to continue to qualify for the special tax treatment afforded to a regulated investment company ("RIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Internal Revenue Code"). If the Fund maintains its qualification as a RIC and meets certain minimum distribution requirements, then the Fund is generally not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, if the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements it would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in fund-level taxation and consequently a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.

Unless you are a tax-exempt entity or your investment in Fund shares is made through a tax-deferred retirement account, such as an individual retirement account, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when the Fund makes distributions, you sell Fund shares and you purchase or redeem Creation Units (Authorized Participants only).

***Tax Status of Distributions***

● The Fund intends to distribute each year substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains income.

● Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.

● The income dividends you receive from the Fund may be taxed as either ordinary income or "qualified dividend income."

● Dividends that are reported by the Fund as qualified dividend income are generally taxable to non-corporate shareholders at a maximum tax rate currently set at 20% (lower rates apply to individuals in lower tax brackets). Qualified dividend income generally is income derived from dividends paid to the Fund by U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. In addition, dividends that the Fund receives in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations may be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. For such dividends to be taxed as qualified dividend income to a non-corporate shareholder, the Fund must satisfy certain holding period requirements with respect to the underlying stock and the non-corporate shareholder must satisfy holding period requirements with respect to his or her ownership of the Fund's shares. Holding periods may be suspended for these purposes for stock that is hedged.

● Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned their shares. Sales of assets held by the Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by the Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses.

● Distributions from the Fund's short-term capital gains are generally taxable as ordinary income. Distributions from the Fund's net capital gain (the excess of the Fund's net long-term capital gains over its net short-term capital losses) are taxable as long-term capital gains regardless of how long you have owned your shares. For non-corporate shareholders, long-term capital gains are generally taxable at a maximum tax rate currently set at 20% (lower rates apply to individuals in lower tax brackets).

● Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends-received deduction for the portion of dividends they receive from the Fund that are attributable to dividends received by the Fund from U.S. corporations, subject to certain limitations. The Fund's investment strategies may significantly limit its ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

● In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax for the year in which they are paid. However, distributions paid in January but declared by the Fund in October, November or December of the previous year payable to shareholders of record in such a month may be taxable to you in the previous year.

● You should note that if you purchase shares just before a distribution, the purchase price would reflect the amount of the upcoming distribution. In this case, you would be taxed on the entire amount of the distribution received, even though, as an economic matter, the distribution simply constitutes a return of your investment. This is known as "buying a dividend" and should be avoided by taxable investors.

● The Fund (or your broker) will inform you of the amount of your ordinary income dividends, qualified dividend income, and net capital gain distributions shortly after the close of each calendar year.

***Tax Status of Share Transactions***

Each sale of shares by a shareholder of the Fund or redemption of Creation Units by an Authorized Participant will generally be a taxable event. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares of the Fund is generally treated as a long-term gain or loss if such shares have been held for more than twelve months. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares of the Fund held for twelve months or less is generally treated as short-term gain or loss. Any capital loss on the sale of shares of the Fund held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent distributions of long-term capital gains were paid (or treated as paid) with respect to such shares. Any loss realized on a sale will be disallowed to the extent shares of the Fund are acquired, including through reinvestment of dividends, within a 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the sale of such shares. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited.

An Authorized Participant who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally will recognize gain or loss from the exchange. The gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i) the market value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange plus any cash received in the exchange and (ii) the exchanger's aggregate basis in the securities surrendered plus any cash paid for the Creation Units. An Authorized Participant who exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the exchanger's basis in the Creation Units and (ii) the aggregate market value of the securities and the amount of cash received. The Internal Revenue Service, however, may assert that a loss that is realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units may not be currently deducted under the rules governing "wash sales" (for a person who does not mark-to-market their holdings), or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. Authorized Participants should consult their own tax advisor with respect to whether wash sales rules apply and when a loss might be deductible.

The Fund may include cash when paying the redemption price for Creation Units in addition to, or in place of, the delivery of a basket of securities. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund 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.

***Foreign Taxes***

To the extent the Fund invests in foreign securities, it may be subject to foreign withholding taxes with respect to dividends or interest the Fund receives from sources in foreign countries. If more than 50% of the total assets of the Fund consist of foreign securities, the Fund will be eligible to elect to treat some of those taxes as a distribution to shareholders, which would allow shareholders to offset some of their U.S. federal income tax. The Fund (or your broker) will notify you if it makes such an election and provide you with the information necessary to reflect foreign taxes paid on your income tax return.

***Net Investment Income Tax***

U.S. individuals with income exceeding $200,000 ($250,000 if married and filing jointly) are subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their "net investment income," which includes interest, dividends, and certain capital gains (including certain capital gain distributions and capital gains realized on the sale of shares of the Fund). This 3.8% tax also applies to all or a portion of the undistributed net investment income of certain shareholders that are estates and trusts.

***Non-U.S. Investors***

If you are a nonresident alien individual or a foreign corporation, trust or estate, (i) the Fund's ordinary income dividends will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies, but (ii) gains from the sale or other disposition of shares of the Fund generally are not subject to U.S. taxation, unless you are a nonresident alien individual who is physically present in the U.S. for 183 days or more per year. The Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an "interest-related dividend" or a "short-term capital gain dividend," which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Non-U.S. shareholders who fail to provide an applicable Internal Revenue Service form may be subject to backup withholding on certain payments from the Fund. Backup withholding will not be applied to payments that are subject to the 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) withholding tax described in this paragraph. Different tax consequences may result if you are a foreign shareholder engaged in a trade or business within the United States or if you are a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of a tax treaty.

***Backup Withholding***

The Fund (or financial intermediaries, such as brokers, through which shareholders own shares of the Fund) generally is required to withhold and to remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of the taxable distributions and the sale or redemption proceeds paid to any shareholder who fails to properly furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, who has under-reported dividend or interest income, or who fails to certify that he, she or it is not subject to such withholding.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the consequences under current U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Fund under all applicable tax laws.

**More information about taxes is included in the SAI.**

**Additional Information**

**Investments by Other Registered Investment Companies**

For purposes of the 1940 Act, the Fund is treated as a registered investment company. Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other investment companies, including shares of the Fund. The SEC recently adopted Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, which permits registered investment companies to invest in exchange-traded funds offered by the Trust, including the Fund, beyond the limits of Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions, including that such registered investment companies enter into an agreement with Capitol Series Trust. However, if the Fund were to invest in securities of other investment companies beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A) in reliance on Rule 12d1-4, other registered investment companies would not be permitted to rely on Rule 12d1-4 to invest in the Fund in excess of the limits.

**Continuous Offering**

The method by which Creation Units are purchased and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. Because new Creation Units are issued and sold by the Fund on an ongoing basis, at any point a "distribution," as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), may occur. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which could render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the Prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the Securities Act.

For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client may be deemed a statutory underwriter if it takes Creation Units after placing an order with the Fund's distributor, breaks them down into individual shares of the Fund, and sells such shares directly to customers, or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for shares of the Fund. A determination of whether one is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the particular case, and the examples mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could lead to categorization as an underwriter.

Broker-dealer firms should also note that dealers who are not "underwriters" but are effecting transactions in shares of the Fund, whether or not participating in the distribution of such shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act is not available with respect to such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. As a result, broker dealer-firms should note that dealers who are not underwriters but are participating in a distribution (as contrasted with ordinary secondary market transactions) and thus dealing with shares of the Fund that are part of an "unsold allotment" within the meaning of Section 4(a)(3)(C) of the Securities Act would be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act. Firms that incur a prospectus delivery obligation with respect to shares of the Fund are reminded that under Rule 153 under the Securities Act, a prospectus delivery obligation under Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act owed to an exchange member in connection with a sale on the Exchange is satisfied by the fact that the Fund's Prospectus is available on the SEC's electronic filing system. The prospectus delivery mechanism provided in Rule 153 is only available with respect to transactions on an exchange.

**Premium/Discount Information**

**DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND FUND**

**The Nightview Fund** (the "Fund") was organized as a non-diversified series of the Trust that commenced operations on June 21, 2024. The Nightview Capital Fund, LP – Series B (formerly known as The Worm Capital Fund, LP – Series B), a privately offered fund which employed the same investment strategy as the Fund and was managed by the Fund's Adviser and portfolio manager (the "Predecessor Fund), was reorganized into the Fund on June 21, 2024, in connection with the transfer of assets by the Predecessor Fund. The Predecessor Fund, which commenced operations on March 1, 2018, had an investment objective and strategies that were, in all material respects, substantially similar to 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 Trust is a non-diversified open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated September 18, 2013, as amended November 18, 2021 (the "Trust Agreement"). Nightview Capital, LLC (the "Adviser" or "Nightview") serves as investment adviser to the Fund.

The Trust Agreement permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in one or more series representing interests in separate portfolios of securities. Expenses attributable to any series or class are borne by that series or class. Any general expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular series or class are allocated by or under the direction of the Trustees in such manner as the Trustees determine to be fair and equitable. No shareholder is liable to further calls or to assessment by the Trust without his or her express consent.

The Fund only offers, sells, and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV in large aggregations or "Creation Units." The Fund's shares are individually redeemable.

Under the Trust Agreement, the Board has the unrestricted right and power to alter the number of shares of the Fund that constitute a Creation Unit. Therefore, in the event of a termination of the Fund, the Board, in its sole discretion, could determine to permit the Fund's shares to be individually redeemable. In such circumstances, the Trust might elect to pay cash redemptions to all shareholders with an "in-kind" election for shareholders owning in excess of a certain stated minimum amount.

Generally, the Fund sells and redeems Creation Units on an in-kind basis. Except for the limited circumstances specified in this SAI (see "Purchasing Creation Units—Custom Orders and Cash-in-Lieu," below), investors will be required to purchase Creation Units by making an in-kind deposit of specified instruments ("Portfolio Deposits"), and shareholders redeeming their shares will receive an in-kind transfer of specified instruments ("Redemption Securities"). Under certain circumstances, the names and quantities of the instruments that constitute the Portfolio Deposits and the names and quantities of the instruments that constitute the Redemption Securities may not be identical. These instruments are referred to in the case of either a purchase or a redemption, as the "Creation Basket." If there is a difference between the net asset value ("NAV") of a Creation Unit and the aggregate market value of the Creation Basket exchanged for a Creation Unit, the party conveying instruments with the lower value will also pay to the other an amount in cash equal to that difference ("Cash Component"). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities.

The Fund may impose a transaction fee in connection with the purchase and redemption of its Creation Units. Such fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.

Once "created," the Fund's shares trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day.

**EXCHANGE LISTING AND TRADING**

Shares of the Fund that are approved for listing and trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"), subject to notice of issuance, will be available for purchase and sale through a broker-dealer at market price on each day that the Exchange is open for business ("Business Day"). The market price of the Fund's shares may trade below, at, or above the most recently calculated NAV per share of the Fund. As is the case with other publicly traded securities, your purchase or sale of Fund shares in the secondary market will be subject to brokerage commissions which will be based on negotiated commission rates at customary levels.

There can be no assurance that the Exchange's requirements necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund's shares will continue to be met. The Exchange may, but is not required to, remove the shares of the Fund from listing if, among other things: (i) following the initial 12-month period beginning upon the commencement of trading of Fund shares, there are fewer than 50 record and/or beneficial owners of shares of the Fund; (ii) the Fund is no longer eligible to operate in reliance on Rule 6c-11 under the 1940 Act; (iii) if any of the other listing requirements are not continuously maintained; or (iv) any event shall occur or condition shall exist that, in the opinion of the Exchange, makes further dealings on the Exchange inadvisable. The Exchange will also remove shares of the Fund from listing and trading upon termination of the Fund.

In order to provide investors with a basis to gauge whether the market price (and related bid/ask spread) of individual Shares traded on an Exchange is approximately consistent with the current NAV on a per Share basis, every 15 seconds throughout the Exchange's

regular trading hours, an estimated intra-day NAV ("INAV"), if applicable, is calculated and disseminated in accordance with the relevant listing standards of the Exchange. The Fund is not involved in or responsible for the calculation or dissemination of the INAV, and the Fund makes no warranty as to its accuracy. The INAV does not necessarily reflect the precise composition of the current portfolio of securities and instruments held by the Fund at a particular point in time or the best possible valuation of the current portfolio. The Fund believes that, when purchasing Shares traded on an Exchange, placing "limit orders" rather than "market orders" may help investors avoid excessive bid/ask spreads. The INAV should not be viewed as a "real-time" update of the NAV per Share of the Fund because (i) the INAV may not be calculated in the same manner as the NAV, which is computed once a day, generally, at the end of the business day; (ii) the calculation of NAV may be subject to fair valuation at different prices than those used in the calculations of the INAV; (iii) unlike the calculation of NAV, the INAV does not take into account Fund expenses; and (iv) the INAV calculations are based on local market prices and may not reflect events that occur subsequent to the local market's close, which could affect premiums and discounts between the INAV and the market price of the Fund's Shares. Accordingly, a shareholder purchasing Shares of the Fund at a price calculated based upon the Shares' INAV is subject to valuation risk. If there is a mismatch between the INAV and NAV, shareholders could lose money upon redemption or could pay too much for Shares purchased.

The Trust reserves the right to adjust the price levels of shares in the future to help maintain convenient trading ranges for investors. Any adjustments would be accomplished through stock splits or reverse stock splits, which would have no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

The base and trading currencies of the Fund is the U.S. dollar. The base currency is the currency in which the Fund's net asset value per share is calculated, and the trading currency is the currency in which shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Exchange.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FUND INVESTMENTS AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS**

Unless otherwise specified, percentage limitations on investments set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI will be applied at the time of investment. Therefore, these percentages could be exceeded due to a decline in the Fund's net asset value ("NAV") due to fluctuations in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities and the liquidation of portfolio securities to fulfill repurchase requests (which the Fund's Board has, in its sole discretion, authorized) or to pay expenses.

Except for the Fund's fundamental policies listed below, no other policy of the Fund, including its investment objective, is a fundamental policy of the Fund and may be changed by the Board without the vote of such Fund's shareholders.

The principal and non-principal investment strategies the Fund uses to pursue its investment objective and the risks of those strategies are discussed in the Prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise stated in the Prospectus, investment strategies and techniques are generally discretionary. This means that the Adviser may elect to engage or not engage in various strategies and techniques in its sole discretion. Investors should not assume that any particular discretionary investment technique or strategy will always or ever be employed by the Fund.

In addition to the principal and non-principal investment strategies and the risks of the Fund as described in the Prospectus, the Fund may employ secondary investment practices and may be subject to additional secondary risks, which are described below. The following is a description of secondary investment strategies and secondary risks for how the Fund might evolve, not necessarily how it currently operates.

**Diversification**

The Fund is "non-diversified" within the meaning of the 1940 Act. As a result, the fund has the ability to invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Under applicable federal laws, to qualify as a diversified fund, the Fund, with respect to 75% of its total assets, may not invest greater than 5% of its total assets in any one issuer and may not hold greater than 10% of the securities of one issuer. The remaining 25% of the Fund's total assets does not need to be "diversified" and may be invested in securities of a single issuer, subject to other applicable laws. The diversification of the Fund's holdings is measured at the time the Fund purchases a security. However, if the Fund purchases a security and holds it for a period of time, the security may become a larger percentage of the Fund's total assets due to movements in the financial markets. If the market affects several securities held by the Fund, the Fund may have a greater percentage of its assets invested in securities of fewer issuers.

**EQUITY SECURITIES**

*<u>Generally</u>*. The Fund may invest in equity securities, limited to common stocks of U.S. corporate issuers. The value of equity securities depends on business, economic, and other factors affecting those issuers. Equity securities fluctuate in value, often based on factors unrelated to the value of the issuer of the securities, and such fluctuations may be pronounced.

<u>*Common Stock*</u>. Common stock represents an equity (ownership) interest in a company, and usually possesses voting rights and earns dividends. Common stockholders are not creditors of the company, but rather, upon liquidation of the company are entitled to their pro rata share of the company's assets after creditors and, if applicable, preferred stockholders are paid. Dividends on common stock are not fixed but are declared at the discretion of the issuer. Common stock generally represents the riskiest investment in a company. In addition, common stock generally has the greatest appreciation and depreciation potential because increases and decreases in earnings are usually reflected in a company's stock price.

*<u>Foreign Securities</u>.* The Fund may invest in foreign equity securities, including emerging markets equity securities. The Fund will only invest in securities of foreign issuers that trade directly on U.S. stock exchanges in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). ADRs are receipts that evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADRs are generally issued by a U.S. bank or trust company to U.S. buyers as a substitute for direct ownership of a foreign security and are traded on U.S. exchanges. ADRs, in registered form, are designed for use in the U.S. securities markets. Investments in ADRs are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct investments in foreign securities. Such investments can be riskier than U.S. securities investments. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers are subject to the risks associated with investing in those foreign markets, such as heightened risks of inflation or nationalization. The prices of foreign securities and the prices of U.S. securities have, at times, moved in opposite directions. In addition, securities of foreign issuers may lose value due to political, economic and geographic events affecting a foreign issuer or market. During periods of social, political or economic instability in a country or region, the value of a foreign security traded on U.S. exchanges could be affected by, among other things, increasing price volatility, illiquidity, or the closure of the primary market on which the security (or the security underlying the ADR) is traded. You may lose money due to political, economic, and geographic events affecting a foreign issuer or market. The Fund normally will not hedge any foreign currency exposure.

Investment in the securities of foreign issuers involves risks beyond those associated with investments in U.S. securities. These additional risks include greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by foreign governments, decreased market liquidity and political instability. Because many foreign securities markets may be limited in size, the prices of securities that trade in such markets may be influenced by large traders. Certain foreign markets that have historically been considered relatively stable may become volatile in response to changed conditions or new developments. Increased interconnectivity of world economies and financial markets increases the possibility that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies and financial markets in other countries or regions. Foreign issuers are often subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping than are U.S. issuers, and therefore, not all material information may be available or reliable. Securities exchanges or foreign governments may adopt rules or regulations that may negatively impact the Fund's ability to invest in foreign securities or may prevent the Fund from repatriating its investments. In addition, the Fund may not receive shareholder communications or be permitted to vote the securities that it holds, as the issuers may be under no legal obligation to distribute shareholder communications. The Fund normally will not hedge any foreign currency exposure.

Investment in securities of emerging market issuers may present risks that are greater than or different from those associated with foreign securities due to less developed and liquid markets and such factors as increased economic, political, regulatory, or other uncertainties. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty's legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, in particular, in emerging markets countries.

**OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES**

*<u>Generally</u>*. The Fund may invest in other investment companies to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. The Fund may invest in closed-end and open-end investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. Closed-end funds include business development companies (each a "BDC") and open-end funds include mutual funds and exchange traded funds (each an "ETF").

The Fund generally may purchase or redeem, without limitation, shares of any affiliated or unaffiliated money market mutual funds, including unregistered money market funds, so long as the Fund does not pay a sales load or service fee in connection with the purchase, sale, or redemption or if such fees are paid, the Adviser waives its management fee in an amount necessary to offset the amounts paid.

With respect to other investments in investment companies, the 1940 Act generally limits the Fund from acquiring (i) more than 3% of the total outstanding shares of another investment company; (ii) shares of another investment company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of the total assets of the Fund; or (iii) shares of another registered investment company and all other investment companies having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the Fund.

*<u>Risks of Investment Companies</u>*. The 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), impose numerous constraints on the operations of registered investment companies. These restrictions may prohibit the Fund from making certain investment thus potentially limiting its profitability. Moreover, in order to qualify for regulated investment company tax treatment under

subchapter M of the Code (e.g. to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes and to pass through income and capital gains to investors), a regulated investment company ("RIC") must satisfy source-of-income, asset diversification and other requirements. The failure to comply with these provisions in a timely manner may prevent qualification as a registered investment company thus requiring the investment company to pay unexpected taxes and penalties, which could be material.

When the Fund invests in another investment company, the Fund indirectly will bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by the underlying fund. Therefore, the Fund will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative to those paid the Fund. In addition, the Fund may be affected by losses of the underlying funds and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of the underlying funds (such as the use of leverage by the funds). The Fund has no control over the investments and related risks taken by the underlying funds in which it invests. Other investment companies may charge fees if interests are redeemed within a certain period of time.

*<u>Closed-End Funds</u>.* Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter. BDCs are publicly-traded closed-end funds that seek capital appreciation and income by investing in smaller companies during their initial or growth stages of development. The net asset value per share of a closed-end fund will fluctuate depending upon the performance of the securities held by the fund. A closed-end fund is not required to buy its shares back from investors upon request.

*<u>Mutual Funds</u>.* Mutual funds are open-end investment companies and issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily at their net asset value. The net asset value per share of an open-end fund will fluctuate daily depending upon the performance of the securities held by the fund.

*<u>Exchange-Traded Funds</u>.* ETFs are open-end investment companies that continuously issue shares that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. Many ETFs seek to replicate a specific benchmark index. However, an ETF may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index for many reasons, including because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or the number of stocks held. The net asset value of an ETF can fluctuate up or down due to changes in the market value of the securities owned by the ETF. ETF shares are only redeemable from an ETF in large blocks.

*<u>Risks of Closed-end Funds and ETFs</u>*. In addition to risks generally associated with investments in investment company securities, ETFs and closed-end funds are subject to the following risks that do not apply to traditional mutual funds: (1) shares may trade at a market price that is above or below its net asset value; (2) an active trading market for shares may not develop or be maintained; (3) the ETF or closed-end fund may employ an investment strategy that utilizes high leverage ratios; or (4) trading of shares may be halted if the listing exchange's officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

**REAL ESTATE AND REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS ("REITS")**

A REIT is a corporation or business trust that invests substantially all of its assets in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interests. Equity REITs are those which purchase or lease land and buildings and generate income primarily from rental income. Equity REITs may also realize capital gains (or losses) when selling property that has appreciated (or depreciated) in value. Mortgage REITs invest in real estate mortgage securities and derive income primarily from interest payments. Hybrid REITs have characteristics of both Equity REITs and Mortgage REITs.

*<u>Risks of REITs</u>.* Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality and maturity of any credit extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation. REITs are also subject to the possibilities of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain their exemptions from registration under the 1940 Act. REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed rate obligations can be expected to decline. In contrast, as interest rates on adjustable rate mortgage loans are reset periodically, yields on a REIT's investment in such loans will gradually align to reflect changes in market interest rates, causing the value of such investments to fluctuate less dramatically in response to interest rate fluctuations than would investments in fixed rate obligations.

Mortgage REITs are subject to certain additional risks. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of the mortgage securities in which they invest, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, during periods of rising interest rates, these securities may exhibit greater volatility. In addition, mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, the risk that, when interest rates decline or are low but are expected to rise, borrowers may pay off their debts sooner than expected. This can reduce the returns of

Mortgage REITs because the Fund will have to reinvest such prepaid funds at the lower prevailing interest rates. Mortgage securities are also subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or assets, particularly during periods of economic downturn.

Investing in REITs involves risks similar to those associated with investing in small capitalization companies. REITs may have limited financial resources, may trade less frequently and in a limited volume and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than larger company securities.

**SHORT-TERM MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS**

*<u>Generally</u>*. The Fund may invest in U.S. short-term money market instruments.

*<u>Short-term Money Market Instruments</u>.* Short-term money market instruments include short-term fixed or variable rate certificates of deposit, time deposits with a maturity no greater than 180 days, bankers' acceptances, commercial paper rated A-1 or A-2 by S&P or Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's (or paper of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser), or in similar other money market securities, and repurchase agreements. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits with a banking institution that earn a specified interest rate over a given period.

*<u>Certificates of Deposit</u>*. Certificates of deposit are issued by national banks and state banks, trust companies and mutual savings banks, or banks or institutions the accounts of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Certificates of deposit are negotiable certificates evidencing the indebtedness of a commercial bank to repay funds deposited with it for a definite period of time (usually from fourteen days to one year) at a stated or variable interest rate.

*<u>Bankers Acceptances</u>*. Bankers' acceptances are negotiable drafts or bills of exchange typically drawn by an importer or exporter to pay for specific merchandise that are "accepted" by a bank, meaning, in effect, that the issuing bank unconditionally agrees to pay the face value of the instrument on maturity. Investments in bankers' acceptances will be limited to those guaranteed by domestic and foreign banks having, at the time of investment, total assets of $1 billion or more (as of the date of the institution's most recently published financial statements).

*<u>Commercial Paper</u>*. Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually from one to two hundred seventy days) unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance their current operations. Certain notes may have floating or variable rates. Unless deemed liquid by the Adviser, variable and floating rate notes with a demand notice period exceeding seven days generally are considered illiquid and, therefore, subject to the Trust's prohibition on illiquid investments (see "Investment Limitations" below).

**LENDING PORTFOLIO SECURITIES**

The Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions needing to borrow securities to complete certain transactions. The Fund will be entitled to payments in amounts equal to the interest, dividends, or other distributions payable on the loaned securities, which enable the Fund to earn interest on the amount of the loan and on the loaned securities collateral. The Fund typically receives collateral consisting of cash, U.S. Government securities, or irrevocable letters of credit, which are maintained at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities.

<u>*Risks of Securities Lending*</u>. The Fund might experience a risk of loss if the institution with which it has entered into a portfolio loan transaction breaches its agreement with the Fund. Other risks in lending portfolio securities include possible delay in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the loaned securities or the possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. In addition, the Fund is responsible for any loss that might result from its investment of the borrower's collateral.

**CYBER SECURITY RISK**

<u>*Risks of Cyber Security*</u>. With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet and the dependence on computer systems to perform necessary business functions, investment companies (such as the Fund) and their service providers (including the Adviser) may be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or other technological malfunctions. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate, but unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks include, among others, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, preventing legitimate users from accessing information or services on a website, releasing confidential information without authorization, and causing operational disruption. Successful cyber-attacks against, or security breakdowns of, the Fund, the Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, or other affiliated or third-party service provider may adversely affect the Fund or its shareholders. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of shareholder transactions, affect the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential Fund information, impede trading, cause reputational damage, and subject the Fund to regulatory fines, penalties or financial losses, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and additional compliance costs. While the Adviser has established business continuity plans and systems designed to prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified.

Similar types of cyber security risks also are present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund's investment in such securities to lose value.

**COMMODITIES**

<u>*Risks of Commodities*</u>. Companies involved in commodity-related businesses may be subject to greater volatility than investments in companies involved in more traditional businesses. This is because the value of companies in commodity-related businesses may be affected by overall market movements and other factors affecting the value of a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, disease, embargoes, or political and regulatory developments. The prices of commodities may move in different directions than investments in traditional equity and debt securities when the value of those traditional securities is declining due to adverse economic conditions. As an example, during periods of rising inflation, debt securities have historically tended to decline in value due to the general increase in the prevailing interest rates. Conversely, during those same periods, the prices of certain commodities, such as oil and metals, have historically tended to increase. However, there can be no guarantee of such performance in the future.

**MARKET EVENTS**

The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. The value of a security or other instrument may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other instrument, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

Stresses associated with the 2008 financial crisis in the United States and global economies peaked near the end of that decade, but periods of unusually high volatility in the financial markets and restrictive credit conditions, sometimes limited to a particular sector or a geography, continue to recur. Some countries, including the United States, have adopted and/or are considering the adoption of more protectionist trade policies, a move away from the tighter financial industry regulations that followed the financial crisis, and/or substantially reducing corporate taxes. The exact shape of these policies is still being considered, but the equity and debt markets may react strongly to expectations of change, which could increase volatility, especially if the market's expectations are not borne out. A rise in protectionist trade policies, and the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements could affect the economies of many nations in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. In addition, geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health, such as wars, pandemics and epidemics, may add to instability in world economies and markets generally. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic, political and/or financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected by such events.

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and spread globally. This coronavirus resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by infectious disease outbreaks may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of infectious disease outbreaks and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

**INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS**

**Fundamental Limitations**

The investment limitations described below have been adopted by the Trust with respect to the Fund and are fundamental ("Fundamental"), <u>i.e</u>., they may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As used in the Prospectus and this SAI, the term "majority of the outstanding shares" of the Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund are present or represented at such meeting; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Other investment practices which may be changed by the Board without the approval of shareholders to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation or regulatory policy are considered non-fundamental ("Non-Fundamental").

**Borrowing Money.** The Fund will not borrow money, except that to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) the Fund may borrow from banks, other affiliated investment companies and other persons, and may engage in reverse repurchase agreements and other

transactions which involve borrowings, in amounts up to 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) or such other percentage permitted by law; (b) the Fund may borrow up to an additional 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes; and (c) the Fund may obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of portfolio securities. If, due to market fluctuations or other reasons, the Fund's borrowings exceed the limitations stated above, the Trust will promptly reduce the borrowings of the Fund in accordance with the 1940 Act. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from entering into reverse repurchase transactions, provided that the Fund has an asset coverage of 300% for all borrowings and repurchase commitments of the Fund pursuant to reverse repurchase transactions.

**Senior Securities.** The Fund will not issue senior securities.

With respect to the percentages adopted by the Trust as maximum limitations on the Fund's investment policies and limitations, an excess amount above the fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation unless the excess amount results immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or the action taken. This paragraph does not apply to the borrowing policy set forth above.

If the Fund's borrowings exceed one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings), such borrowings will be reduced within three days, (not including Sundays and holidays) or such longer period as may be permitted by the 1940 Act, to the extent necessary to comply with the one-third limitation.

**C.** **Risk Management** 

The overall management and affairs of the Trust are supervised by the Board. The Board consists of four individuals. The Trustees are fiduciaries and are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio in this regard. The Board establishes policies for the operation of the Trust and appoints the officers who conduct the daily business of the Trust. The Board provides oversight over the management and operations of the Trust. The day-to-day responsibility for the management and operation of the Trust is the responsibility of various officers and service providers to the Trust and its individual series, such as the Adviser, Distributor, administrator, custodian, and Transfer Agent, each of whom are discussed in greater detail in this SAI. The Board approves all significant agreements between the Trust and its service providers, including the agreements with the Adviser, Distributor, administrator, custodian, and Transfer Agent. The Board has appointed various individuals of certain of these service providers as officers of the Trust, with responsibility to monitor and report to the Board on the Trust's day-to-day operations. In all cases, the role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust's investments, operations, or activities.

The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to effectively perform its oversight function. The Board is comprised of four Independent Trustees – Mr. Walter Grimm, Ms. Lori Kaiser, Ms. Janet S. Meeks, and Ms. Mary Madick. Accordingly, all of the members of the Board are Independent Trustees and are not affiliated with any investment adviser to the Trust or their respective affiliates or other service providers to the Trust or any Trust series. The Board has established three standing committees, an Audit Committee, a Nominating Committee, and a Valuation Committee, which are discussed in greater detail below. Each of the Audit Committee and Nominating Committee is comprised entirely of Independent Trustees. The Valuation Committee is comprised of all of the Trustees of the Trust, including the Independent Trustees, plus the Trust's President/Principal Executive Officer and its Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer. Non-Trustee members of the Valuation Committee serve as non-voting members.

As part of its efforts to oversee risk management associated with the Trust, the Board has established the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Valuation Committee as described below:

● The Audit Committee consists of all of the Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Trust's accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, internal controls and, as appropriate, the internal controls of certain service providers; overseeing the quality and objectivity of financial statements and the independent audits of the financial statements; and acting as a liaison between the independent auditors and the full Board.

● The Nominating Committee consists of all of the Independent Trustees. The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and nominating Trustee candidates to the full Board. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders. Recommendations should be submitted to the Nominating Committee in care of the Trust.

● The Valuation Committee consists of all of the Trustees plus the Trust's President/Principal Executive Officer and its Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer. Non-Trustee members of the Valuation Committee serve as non-voting members. The Valuation Committee is responsible for reviewing or approving fair valuation determinations pursuant to the Trust's Portfolio Valuation Procedures. As part of its function, the Valuation Committee considers all fair value pricing methodologies proposed by the Valuation Designees and approves such methodologies, and any amendments thereto.

The Trust's Audit Committee generally meets at least quarterly. The Audit Committee reviews reports provided by administrative service providers, legal counsel, and independent accountants. The Nominating Committee and Valuation Committee meet as needed. The Committees report directly to the Board. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Audit Committee met 6 times, two of which involved matters specifically relating to the Fund. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Nominating Committee did not meet and the Valuation Committee met 4 times. The inclusion of all Independent Trustees as members of the Audit Committee, Nominating Committee and Valuation Committee allows all such Trustees to participate in the full range of the Board's oversight duties, including oversight of risk management processes.

The Independent Trustees have engaged their own independent legal counsel to provide advice on regulatory, compliance, and other topics. In addition, the Board has engaged on behalf of the Trust a full-time Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") who is responsible for overseeing compliance risks. The CCO reports to the Board at least quarterly any material compliance items that have arisen, and on an annual basis provides to the Board a comprehensive compliance report outlining the effectiveness of compliance policies and procedures of the Trust and its service providers. As part of the CCO's risk oversight function, the CCO seeks to understand the risks inherent in the operations of the Trust's series, their advisers, and subadvisers. Periodically, the CCO provides reports to the Board that:

● Assess the quality of the information the CCO receives from internal and external sources;

● Assess how Trust personnel monitor and evaluate risks;

● Assess the quality of the Trust's risk management procedures and the effectiveness of the Trust's organizational structure in implementing those procedures;

● Consider feedback from and provide feedback regarding critical risk issues to administrative and advisory personnel responsible for implementing risk management programs; and

● Consider economic, industry, and regulatory developments, and recommend changes to the Trust's compliance programs as necessary to meet new regulations or industry developments.

The Trustees meet on a quarterly basis, typically for 1-2 days of meetings. Trustees also participate in special meetings and conference calls as needed. In addition to Board meetings, Trustees may participate in teleconferences to review and discuss 15(c) materials, and to interview advisers and Subadviser whose contracts are up for renewal at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. Legal counsel to the Trust provides quarterly reports to the Board regarding regulatory developments. On a quarterly basis, the Trustees review and discuss some or all of the following compliance and risk management reports relating to the series of the Trust:

● Fund Performance/Morningstar Report/Portfolio Manager's Commentary

● Code of Ethics review

● NAV Errors, if any

● Distributor Compliance Reports

● Timeliness of SEC Filings

● Dividends and other Distributions

● List of Brokers, Brokerage Commissions Paid and Average Commission Rate

● Review of 12b-1 Payments

● Multiple Class Expense Reports

● Anti-Money Laundering/Customer Identification Reports

● Administrator and CCO Compliance Reports

● Market Timing Reports

From time to time, one or more members of the Board may also meet with Trust officers in less formal settings, between formal Board meetings to discuss various topics.

The Board has not adopted a formal diversity policy. When soliciting future nominees for Trustee, the Nominating Committee will make efforts to identify and solicit qualified minorities and women.

The Board reviews its structure regularly in light of the characteristics and circumstances of the Trust, including the number of funds that comprise the Trust; the variety of asset classes reflected in those funds; the Trust's net assets; and the distribution arrangements of the funds. At least annually, the Trustees conduct an assessment of the Board's and their individual effectiveness in overseeing the Trust. Based on its assessment, the Board determines whether additional risk assessment or monitoring processes are required for the Trust or any of its service providers.

Based on the qualifications of each of the Trust's Trustees and officers, the risk management practices adopted by the Board, including regular reviews of several compliance and operational reports, and the Board's committee structure, the Trust believes its leadership is appropriate.

The Adviser is controlled by Arne Alsin.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.

**Investment Advisory Agreement and Fees**

Under the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser ("Investment Advisory Agreement"), the Adviser, at its own expense, is responsible for furnishing a continuous investment program for the Fund and makes investment decisions on its behalf, all subject to such policies as the Trustees may determine. Investment decisions are subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement and By-Laws, and the 1940 Act. In addition, the Adviser is required under the Investment Advisory Agreement to make decisions consistent with the Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions as set forth in the Prospectus and this SAI, and such policies and instructions as the Trustees may, from time to time, establish.

The Investment Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser shall not be subject to any liability for any error of judgment, or mistake of law, or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the matters to which the Investment Advisory Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services, or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties on the part of the Adviser.

The Investment Advisory Agreement further provides that the Adviser shall be responsible for: (i) each Fund's organizational expenses (unless reimbursement from the Trust is requested pursuant to Section 4(b) of this Agreement); (ii) the costs of any special Board meetings or shareholder meetings convened for the primary benefit of, and specifically requested by, the Adviser (unless such cost is otherwise allocated by the Board); (iii) any costs of liquidating or reorganizing a Fund if the liquidation or reorganization is made at the request of the Adviser (unless such cost is otherwise allocated by the Board); (iv) amendments to the Registration Statement (other than

The Investment Advisory Agreement may be terminated without penalty with respect to the Fund at any time by the vote of the Trustees or by the shareholders of that Fund upon 60 days' written notice, or by the Adviser on 90 days' written notice. The Investment Advisory Agreement may be amended only by a vote of the shareholders of the affected Fund(s). The Investment Advisory Agreement also terminates without payment of any penalty in the event of its assignment.

The Investment Advisory Agreement provides for an initial term of two years. Thereafter, the Investment Advisory Agreement shall continue from year to year so long as such continuance is approved at least annually with respect to the Fund by the vote of either the Trustees or the shareholders of the Fund, and, in either case, by a vote of the majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

For its services, the Adviser is paid a fee by the Trust, which fee is calculated daily and paid quarterly, at an annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser with respect to the Fund, and subject to the general supervision of the Board, the Adviser has also agreed to pay all other regular and recurring expenses of the Fund such the costs of various third-party services required by the Fund, including administration, certain custody, audit, legal, transfer agency, and printing costs (other than taxes and governmental fees, brokerage fees, commissions and other transaction expenses, certain foreign custodial fees and expenses, costs of borrowing money, including interest expenses, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation and indemnification expenses).

A discussion of the factors that the Board considered in approving the Investment Advisory Agreement is included in the Fund's Form N-CSRS filing for the fiscal period ended July 31, 2025.

**Compensation**

The portfolio manager is compensated by the adviser, Nightview Capital, LLC, via salary and potential bonuses. Arne Alsin is also the sole owner of Nightview Capital, LLC and may receive profit distributions from time to time.

**Conflicts of Interest**

As a general matter, certain actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise in connection with a portfolio manager's management of the Fund's investments, on the one hand, and the investments of other accounts for which the portfolio manager is responsible, on the other. For example, the management of multiple accounts may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each account. Although the Adviser does not track the time a portfolio manager spends on a single portfolio, the Adviser does periodically assess whether a portfolio manager has adequate time and resources to effectively manage all of the accounts for which he is responsible. Moreover, variances in advisory fees charged from account to account may create an incentive for portfolio managers to devote more attention to those accounts that pay high advisory fees. It is also possible that the various accounts managed could have different investment strategies that, at times, might conflict with one another. Alternatively, to the extent that the same investment opportunities might be desirable for more than one account, possible conflicts could arise in determining how to allocate them.

The Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures, including brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures, which it believes address the conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. In addition, the Adviser monitors a variety of areas, including compliance with account investment guidelines and compliance with its applicable Code of Ethics. Finally, the Adviser has structured its portfolio managers' compensation in a manner, and the Trust has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed, to safeguard the Fund from being negatively affected as a result of any such potential conflicts.

**<u>Supplemental Payments to Financial Intermediaries</u>**

Financial intermediaries that promote the sale of Fund shares may be paid fees out of the assets of the Distributor, the Adviser and their affiliates (but not out of Fund assets).

Financial intermediaries who solicit the sale of Fund shares may receive fees for providing distribution-related, recordkeeping or shareholder services such as sponsoring sales, providing sales literature, conducting training seminars for employees, and engineering sales-related computer software programs and systems. Also, these financial intermediaries may be paid cash or promotional incentives, such as reimbursement of certain expenses relating to attendance at informational meetings about the Fund or other special events at recreational-type facilities, or items of material value. These payments will be based upon the amount of Fund shares the financial intermediary sells or may sell and/or upon the type and nature of sales or marketing support furnished by the financial intermediary.

From time to time, the Distributor, the Adviser, and their affiliates, at their expense, may provide additional compensation to financial intermediaries that sell or arrange for the sale of Fund shares. Such compensation may include financial assistance to financial intermediaries that enable the Distributor, the Adviser, and their affiliates to participate in or present at conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited employees, client and investor events and other financial intermediary-sponsored events.

The Distributor, the Adviser, and their affiliates also may hold or sponsor, at their expense, sales events, conferences, and programs for employees or associated persons of financial intermediaries in order to facilitate the sale of Fund shares and may pay the travel and

lodging expenses of attendees. The Distributor, the Adviser, and their affiliates also may provide, at their expense, meals, and entertainment in conjunction with meetings with these financial intermediaries. Other compensation may be offered to the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, regulations or the rules of any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA.

**PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNITS**

The Fund sell and redeems shares in Creation Units on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without a sales load, at the NAV next determined after receipt of an order in proper form on any Business Day. A "Business Day" is any day on which the Exchange is open for business. As of the date of this SAI, the Exchange observes the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

A Creation Unit is an aggregation of 10,000 shares for the Fund. The Board may declare a split or a consolidation in the number of shares outstanding of the Fund or Trust and make a corresponding change in the number of shares in a Creation Unit.

**AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANTS**

Only Authorized Participants that have entered into agreements with the Distributor may purchase or redeem Creation Units. In order to be an Authorized Participant, a firm must be either a broker-dealer or other participant ("Participating Party") in the Continuous Net Settlement System ("Clearing Process") of the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") or a participant in DTC with access to the DTC system ("DTC Participant"), and you must execute an agreement ("Participant Agreement") with the Distributor that governs transactions in the Fund's Creation Units.

Investors who are not Authorized Participants but want to transact in Creation Units may contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant may require investors to enter into a separate agreement to transact through it for Creation Units and may require orders for purchases of shares placed with it to be in a particular form. Investors transacting through a broker that is not itself an Authorized Participant and therefore must still transact through an Authorized Participant may incur additional charges. There are expected to be a limited number of Authorized Participants at any one time.

Orders must be transmitted by an Authorized Participant by telephone or other transmission method acceptable to the Distributor. Market disruptions and telephone or other communication failures may impede the transmission of orders.

**TRANSACTION FEES**

A fixed fee payable to the Custodian is imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction ("Fixed Fee"). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu (as defined below) are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions ("Variable Charge," and together with the Fixed Fee, the "Transaction Fees"). The Adviser may waive or adjust the Transaction Fees, including the Fixed Fee and/or Variable Charge (shown in the table below), from time to time. In such cases, the Authorized Participant will reimburse the Fund for, among other things, any difference between the market value at which the securities and/or financial instruments were purchased by the Fund and the cash-in-lieu amount, applicable registration fees, brokerage commissions and certain taxes. In addition, purchasers of Creation Units are responsible for the costs of transferring the Deposit Securities to the account of the Fund.

**THE CLEARING PROCESS**

Transactions by an Authorized Participant that is a Participating Party using the NSCC system are referred to as transactions "through the Clearing Process." Transactions by an Authorized Participant that is a DTC Participant using the DTC system are referred to as transactions "outside the Clearing Process." The Clearing Process is an enhanced clearing process that is available only for certain securities and only to DTC participants that are also participants in the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC. In-kind (portions of) purchase orders not subject to the Clearing Process will go through a manual clearing process run by DTC. Portfolio Deposits that include government securities must be delivered through the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer system ("Federal Reserve System").

Fund Deposits that include cash may be delivered through the Clearing Process or the Federal Reserve System. In-kind deposits of securities for orders outside the Clearing Process must be delivered through the Federal Reserve System (for government securities) or through DTC (for corporate securities).

**FOREIGN SECURITIES**

Because the portfolio securities of the Fund may trade on days that the Exchange is closed or are otherwise not Business Days for the Fund, shareholders may not be able to redeem their shares of the Fund, or to purchase or sell shares of the Fund on the Exchange, on days when the NAV of the Fund could be significantly affected by events in the relevant foreign markets.

**PURCHASING CREATION UNITS**

<u>Portfolio Deposit</u>

The consideration for a Creation Unit generally consists of the Deposit Securities and a Cash Component. Together, the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component constitute the "Portfolio Deposit." The Cash Component serves the function of compensating for any differences between the net asset value per Creation Unit and the Deposit Securities. Thus, the Cash Component is equal to the difference between (x) the net asset value per Creation Unit of the Fund and (y) the market value of the Deposit Securities. If (x) is more than (y), the Authorized Participant will pay the Cash Component to the Fund. If (x) is less than (y), the Authorized Participant will receive the Cash Component from the Fund.

On each Business Day, prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time), the Adviser or its agent through the Custodian makes available through NSCC the name and amount of each Deposit Security in the current Portfolio Deposit (based on information at the end of the previous Business Day) for the Fund and the (estimated) Cash Component, effective through and including the previous Business Day, per Creation Unit. The Deposit Securities announced are applicable to purchases of Creation Units until the next announcement of Deposit Securities.

Payment of any stamp duty or the like shall be the sole responsibility of the Authorized Participant purchasing a Creation Unit. The Authorized Participant must ensure that all Deposit Securities properly denote change in beneficial ownership.

<u>Custom Orders and Cash-in-Lieu</u>

The Fund may, in its sole discretion, permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash ("cash-in-lieu") to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security. The Fund may permit or require cash-in-lieu when, for example, a Deposit Security may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC or the Clearing Process. Similarly, the Fund may permit or require cash in lieu of Deposit Securities when, for example, the Authorized Participant or its underlying investor is restricted under U.S. or local securities laws or policies from transacting in one or more Deposit Securities. The Fund will comply with the federal securities laws in accepting Deposit Securities including that the Deposit Securities are sold in transactions that would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. All orders involving cash-in-lieu, as well as certain other types of orders, are considered to be "Custom Orders." The Fund may enter into other types of Custom Orders.

In certain circumstances, allowing purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to differ from a pro rata representation or allowing the use of different baskets could benefit the Fund and its shareholders. For example, Funds without basket flexibility are required to include a greater number of individual securities within their basket when transacting in kind, making it more difficult and costly for Authorized Participants to assemble or liquidate baskets. This could result in wider bid-ask spreads and potentially less efficient arbitrage. In addition, funds with hard-to-find securities, particularly fixed-income funds, may be forced to satisfy redemption requests entirely in cash in order to avoid losing hard-to-find securities and to preserve the fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives. Funds that meet redemptions in cash would be required to maintain larger cash positions to meet redemption obligations, potentially resulting in a cash drag on the Fund's performance to the detriment of shareholders. The use of cash baskets also may be less tax-efficient than using in-kind baskets to satisfy redemptions and may result in additional transaction costs for the purchase and sale of portfolio holdings.

In order to protect against overreaching and other abusive practices in circumstances where the Fund uses a basket that does not reflect a pro rata slice of the Fund's portfolio holdings, the Fund has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or utilize "custom baskets" in accordance with the requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the 1940 Act, including adopting policies and procedures governing the construction of baskets and the process used for the acceptance of baskets generally. The Fund's policies and procedures set forth detailed parameters for the construction and acceptance of custom baskets that are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, including: (1) the circumstances under which the basket may omit positions that are not operationally feasible to transfer in kind; (2) when the Fund would use representative sampling of its portfolio to create its basket; (3) how the Fund would sample in those circumstances; and (4) the process for any revisions to, or deviations from, those parameters. In addition, the Fund's policies and

procedures also specify the titles or roles of the employees of the Fund's Adviser who are required to review each custom basket for compliance with those parameters.

<u>Purchase Orders</u>

To order a Creation Unit, an Authorized Participant must submit an irrevocable purchase order to the Distributor.

<u>Timing of Submission of Purchase Orders</u>

An Authorized Participant must submit an irrevocable purchase order no later than the earlier of (i) 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or (ii) the closing time of the bond markets and/or the trading session on the Exchange, on any Business Day in order to receive that Business Day's NAV ("Cut-off Time"). The Cut-off Time for Custom Orders is generally two hours earlier. The Business Day the order is deemed received by the Distributor is referred to as the "Transmittal Date." An order to create Creation Units is deemed received on a Business Day if (i) such order is received by the Distributor by the Cut-off Time on such day and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed. Persons placing or effectuating custom orders and/or orders involving cash should be mindful of time deadlines imposed by intermediaries, such as DTC and/or the Federal Reserve Bank wire system, which may impact the successful processing of such orders to ensure that cash and securities are transferred by the "Settlement Date," which is generally the Business Day immediately following the Transmittal Date ("T+1") for cash and the second Business Day following the Transmittal Date for securities ("T+2").

<u>Orders Using the Clearing Process</u>

If available, (portions of) orders may be settled through the Clearing Process. In connection with such orders, the Distributor transmits, on behalf of the Authorized Participant, such trade instructions as are necessary to effect the creation order. Pursuant to such trade instructions, the Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the requisite Portfolio Deposit to the Fund, together with such additional information as may be required by the Distributor. Cash Components will be delivered using either the Clearing Process or the Federal Reserve System.

<u>Orders Outside the Clearing Process</u>

If the Clearing Process is not available for (portions of) an order, Portfolio Deposits will be made outside the Clearing Process. Orders outside the Clearing Process must state that the DTC Participant is not using the Clearing Process and that the creation of Creation Units will be effected through DTC. The Portfolio Deposit transfer must be ordered by the DTC Participant on the Transmittal Date in a timely fashion so as to ensure the delivery of Deposit Securities (whether standard or custom) through DTC to the Fund account by 11:00 a.m., Eastern time, on T+1. The Cash Component, along with any cash-in-lieu and Transaction Fee, must be transferred directly to the Custodian through the Federal Reserve System in a timely manner so as to be received by the Custodian no later than 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on T+1. If the Custodian does not receive both the Deposit Securities and the cash by the appointed time, the order may be canceled. A canceled order may be resubmitted the following Business Day but must conform to that Business Day's Portfolio Deposit. Authorized Participants that submit a canceled order will be liable to the Fund for any losses incurred by the Fund in connection therewith.

Orders involving foreign Deposit Securities are expected to be settled outside the Clearing Process. Thus, upon receipt of an irrevocable purchase order, the Distributor will notify the Adviser and the Custodian of such order. The Custodian, who will have caused the appropriate local sub-custodian(s) of the Fund to maintain an account into which an Authorized Participant may deliver Deposit Securities (or cash-in-lieu), with adjustments determined by the Fund, will then provide information of the order to such local sub-custodian(s). The ordering Authorized Participant will then deliver the Deposit Securities (and any cash-in-lieu) to the Fund's account at the applicable local sub-custodian. The Authorized Participant must also make available on or before the contractual settlement date, by means satisfactory to the Fund, immediately available or same day funds in U.S. dollars estimated by the Fund to be sufficient to pay the Cash Component and Transaction Fee. When a relevant local market is closed due to local market holidays, the local market settlement process will not commence until the end of the local holiday period. Settlement must occur by 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the contractual settlement date.

<u>Acceptance of Purchase Order</u>

All questions as to the number of shares of each security in the Deposit Securities and the validity, form, eligibility, and acceptance for deposit of any securities to be delivered shall be determined by the Fund. The Fund's determination shall be final and binding.

The Fund reserves the right to reject or revoke acceptance of a purchase order transmitted to it by the Distributor if (a) the order is not in proper form; (b) the investor(s), upon obtaining the shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding shares of the Fund; (c) the Deposit Securities delivered do not conform to the Deposit Securities for the applicable date; (d) the acceptance of the

Portfolio Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; or (e) in the event that circumstances outside the control of the Trust, the Distributor and the Adviser make it for all practical purposes impossible to process purchase orders. Examples of such circumstances include acts of God; public service or utility problems resulting in telephone, telecopy, or computer failures; fires, floods, or extreme weather conditions; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other informational systems affecting the Trust, the Distributor, DTC, NSCC, the Adviser, the Custodian, a sub-custodian or any other participant in the creation process; and similar extraordinary events. The Distributor shall notify an Authorized Participant of its rejection of the order. The Fund, the Custodian, any sub-custodian, and the Distributor are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of Portfolio Deposits, and they shall not incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification.

<u>Issuance of a Creation Unit</u>

Once the Fund has accepted an order, upon next determination of the Fund's NAV, the Fund will confirm the issuance of a Creation Unit, against receipt of payment, at such NAV. The Distributor will transmit a confirmation of acceptance to the Authorized Participant that placed the order.

Except as provided below, a Creation Unit will not be issued until the Fund obtains good title to the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component, along with any cash-in-lieu and Transaction Fee. The delivery of Creation Units will generally occur no later than T+2 except with respect to certain foreign securities.

In certain cases, Authorized Participants will create and redeem Creation Units on the same trade date. In these instances, the Trust reserves the right to settle these transactions on a net basis.

With respect to orders involving foreign Deposit Securities, when the applicable local sub-custodian(s) have confirmed to the Custodian that the Deposit Securities (or cash-in-lieu) have been delivered to the Fund's account at the applicable local sub-custodian(s), the Distributor and the Adviser shall be notified of such delivery, and the Fund will issue and cause the delivery of the Creation Unit. While, as stated above, Creation Units are generally delivered on T+2, the Fund reserves the right to settle redemption transactions on a basis other than T+2 but by T+7, if necessary or appropriate under the circumstances and compliant with applicable law. Delayed settlement may occur due to a number of different reasons, including, without limitation, settlement cycles for the underlying securities, unscheduled market closings, an effort to link distribution to dividend record dates and ex-dates and newly announced holidays. For example, the redemption settlement process may be extended beyond T+2 because of the occurrence of a holiday in a non-U.S. market or in the U.S. bond market that is not a holiday observed in the U.S. equity market. In addition, the Fund may settle Creation Unit transactions on a basis other than T+2 in order to accommodate foreign market holiday schedules, to account for different treatment among foreign and U.S. markets of dividend record dates and ex-dividend dates (that is the last day the holder of a security can sell the security and still receive dividends payable on the security), and in certain other circumstances.

The Fund may issue a Creation Unit prior to receiving good title to the Deposit Securities, under the following circumstances. Pursuant to the applicable Participant Agreement, the Fund may issue a Creation Unit notwithstanding that (certain) Deposit Securities have not been delivered, in reliance on an undertaking by the relevant Authorized Participant to deliver the missing Deposit Securities as soon as possible, which undertaking is secured by such Authorized Participant's delivery to and maintenance with the Custodian of collateral having a value equal to at least 115% of the value of the missing Deposit Securities ("Collateral"), as adjusted by time to time by the Adviser. Such Collateral will have a value greater than the NAV of the Creation Unit on the date the order is placed. Such Collateral must be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on T+1. The only Collateral that is acceptable to the Fund is cash in U.S. Dollars.

While (certain) Deposit Securities remain undelivered, the Collateral shall at all times have a value equal to at least 115% (as adjusted by the Adviser) of the daily marked-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities. At any time, the Fund may use the Collateral to purchase the missing securities, and the Authorized Participant will be liable to the Fund for any costs incurred thereby or losses resulting therefrom, whether or not they exceed the amount of the Collateral, including any Transaction Fee, any amount by which the purchase price of the missing Deposit Securities exceeds the market value of such securities on the Transmittal Date, brokerage, and other transaction costs. The Trust will return any unused Collateral once all of the missing securities have been received by the Fund. More information regarding the Fund's current procedures for collateralization is available from the Distributor.

<u>Cash Purchase Method</u>

When cash purchases of Creation Units are available or specified for the Fund, they will be effected in essentially the same manner as in-kind purchases. In the case of a cash purchase, the investor must pay the cash equivalent of the Portfolio Deposit. In addition, cash purchases will be subject to Transaction Fees, as described above.

<u>Notice to Texas Shareholders</u>

Under section 72.1021(a) of the Texas Property Code, initial investors in the Fund who are Texas residents may designate a representative to receive notices of abandoned property in connection with shares. Texas shareholders who wish to appoint a representative should notify their broker-dealer to obtain a form for providing written notice.

**REDEEMING A CREATION UNIT**

<u>Redemption Basket</u>

The consideration received in connection with the redemption of a Creation Unit generally consists of an in-kind basket of designated securities ("Redemption Securities") and a Cash Component. Together, the Redemption Securities and the Cash Component constitute the "Redemption Basket."

There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity in shares in the secondary market to permit assembly of a Creation Unit. In addition, investors may incur brokerage and other costs in connection with assembling a Creation Unit.

The Cash Component serves the function of compensating for any differences between the net asset value per Creation Unit and the Redemption Securities. Thus, the Cash Component is equal to the difference between (x) the net asset value per Creation Unit of the Fund and (y) the market value of the Redemption Securities. If (x) is more than (y), the Authorized Participant will receive the Cash Component from the Fund. If (x) is less than (y), the Authorized Participant will pay the Cash Component to the Fund.

If the Redemption Securities on a Business Day are different from the Deposit Securities, prior to the opening of business on the Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time), the Adviser or an agent through the Custodian makes available through NSCC the name and amount of each Redemption Security in the current Redemption Basket (based on information at the end of the previous Business Day) for the Fund and the (estimated) Cash Component, effective through and including the previous Business Day, per Creation Unit. If the Redemption Securities on a Business Day are different from the Deposit Securities, all redemption requests that day will be processed outside the Clearing Process.

The right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed: (i) for any period during which the Exchange is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (ii) for any period during which trading on the Exchange is suspended or restricted; (iii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the shares or determination of the ETF's NAV is not reasonably practicable; or (iv) in such other circumstances as permitted by the SEC, including as described below.

<u>Custom Redemptions and Cash-in-Lieu</u>

The Fund may, in its sole discretion, permit or require the substitution of cash-in-lieu to be added to the Cash Component to replace any Redemption Security. The Fund may permit or require cash-in-lieu when, for example, a Redemption Security may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC or the Clearing Process. Similarly, the Fund may permit or require cash-in-lieu of Redemption Securities when, for example, the Authorized Participant or its underlying investor is restricted under U.S. or local securities law or policies from transacting in one or more Redemption Securities. The Fund will comply with the federal securities laws in satisfying redemptions with Redemption Securities, including that the Redemption Securities are sold in transactions that would be exempt from registration under the Securities Act. All redemption requests involving cash-in-lieu are considered to be "Custom Redemptions."

In certain circumstances, allowing purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to differ from a pro rata representation or allowing the use of different baskets could benefit the Fund and its shareholders. For example, funds without basket flexibility are required to include a greater number of individual securities within their basket when transacting in kind, making it more difficult and costly for Authorized Participants to assemble or liquidate baskets. This could result in wider bid-ask spreads and potentially less efficient arbitrage. In addition, Funds with hard-to-find securities, particularly fixed-income Funds, may be forced to satisfy redemption requests entirely in cash in order to avoid losing hard-to-find securities and to preserve the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives. Funds that meet redemptions in cash would be required to maintain larger cash positions to meet redemption obligations, potentially resulting in a cash drag on the Fund's performance to the detriment of shareholders. The use of cash baskets also may be less tax-efficient than using in-kind baskets to satisfy redemptions, and may result in additional transaction costs for the purchase and sale of portfolio holdings.

In order to protect against overreaching and other abusive practices in circumstances where the Fund uses a basket that does not reflect a pro rata slice of the Fund's portfolio holdings, the Fund has the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or utilize "custom baskets" in accordance with the requirements of Rule 6c-11 under the 1940 Act, including adopting policies and procedures governing the construction of baskets and the process used for the acceptance of baskets generally. The Fund's policies and procedures set forth detailed parameters for the construction and acceptance of custom baskets that are in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders,

including: (1) the circumstances under which the basket may omit positions that are not operationally feasible to transfer in kind; (2) when the Fund would use representative sampling of its portfolio to create its basket; (3) how the Fund would sample in those circumstances; and (4) the process for any revisions to, or deviations from, those parameters. In addition, the Fund's policies and procedures also specify the titles or roles of the employees of the Fund's Adviser who are required to review each custom basket for compliance with those parameters.

<u>Redemption Requests</u>

To redeem a Creation Unit, an Authorized Participant must submit an irrevocable redemption request to the Distributor.

An Authorized Participant submitting a redemption request is deemed to represent to the Fund that it or, if applicable, the investor on whose behalf it is acting, (i) owns outright or has full legal authority and legal beneficial right to tender for redemption the Creation Unit to be redeemed and can receive the entire proceeds of the redemption, and (ii) all of the shares that are in the Creation Unit to be redeemed have not been borrowed, loaned or pledged to another party nor are they the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or such other arrangement that would preclude the delivery of such shares to the Fund. The Fund reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to verify these representations, but will typically require verification in connection with higher levels of redemption activity and/or short interest in the Fund. If the Authorized Participant, upon receipt of a verification request, does not provide sufficient verification of the requested representations, the redemption request will not be considered to be in proper form and may be rejected by the Fund.

<u>Timing of Submission of Redemption Requests</u>

An Authorized Participant must submit an irrevocable redemption order no later than the Cut-off Time. The Cut-off Time for Custom Orders is generally two hours earlier. The Business Day the order is deemed received by the Distributor is referred to as the "Transmittal Date." A redemption request is deemed received if (i) such order is received by the Distributor by the Cut-off Time on such day and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed. Persons placing or effectuating Custom Redemptions and/or orders involving cash should be mindful of time deadlines imposed by intermediaries, such as DTC and/or the Federal Reserve System, which may impact the successful processing of such orders to ensure that cash and securities are transferred by the Settlement Date, as defined above.

<u>Requests Using the Clearing Process</u>

If available, (portions of) redemption requests may be settled through the Clearing Process. In connection with such orders, the Distributor transmits on behalf of the Authorized Participant, such trade instructions as are necessary to effect the redemption. Pursuant to such trade instructions, the Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the requisite Creation Unit(s) to the Fund, together with such additional information as may be required by the Distributor. Cash Components will be delivered using either the Clearing Process or the Federal Reserve System, as described above.

<u>Requests Outside the Clearing Process</u>

If the Clearing Process is not available for (portions of) an order, Redemption Baskets will be delivered outside the Clearing Process. Orders outside the Clearing Process must state that the DTC Participant is not using the Clearing Process and that the redemption will be effected through DTC. The Authorized Participant must transfer or cause to be transferred the Creation Unit(s) of shares being redeemed through the book-entry system of DTC so as to be delivered through DTC to the Custodian by 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on received T+1. In addition, the Cash Component must be received by the Custodian by 12:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on T+1. If the Custodian does not receive the Creation Unit(s) and Cash Component by the appointed times on T+1, the redemption will be rejected, except in the circumstances described below. A rejected redemption request may be resubmitted the following Business Day.

Orders involving foreign Redemption Securities are expected to be settled outside the Clearing Process. Thus, upon receipt of an irrevocable redemption request, the Distributor will notify the Adviser and the Custodian. The Custodian will then provide information of the redemption to the Fund's local sub-custodian(s). The redeeming Authorized Participant, or the investor on whose behalf is acting, will have established appropriate arrangements with a broker-dealer, bank, or other custody provider in each jurisdiction in which the Redemption Securities are customarily traded and to which such Redemption Securities (and any cash-in-lieu) can be delivered from the Fund's accounts at the applicable local sub-custodian(s).

<u>Acceptance of Redemption Requests</u>

All questions as to the number of shares of each security in the Deposit Securities and the validity, form, eligibility and acceptance for deposit of any securities to be delivered shall be determined by the Trust. The Trust's determination shall be final and binding.

<u>Delivery of Redemption Basket</u>

Once the Fund has accepted a redemption request, upon next determination of the Fund's NAV, the Fund will confirm the issuance of a Redemption Basket, against receipt of the Creation Unit(s) at such NAV, any cash-in-lieu, and Transaction Fee. A Creation Unit tendered for redemption and the payment of the Cash Component, any cash-in-lieu and Transaction Fee will be effected through DTC. The Authorized Participant, or the investor on whose behalf it is acting, will be recorded on the book-entry system of DTC.

The Redemption Basket will generally be delivered to the redeeming Authorized Participant within T+2. Except under the circumstances described below, however, a Redemption Basket generally will not be issued until the Creation Unit(s) are delivered to the Fund, along with the Cash Component, any cash-in-lieu, and Transaction Fee.

In certain cases, Authorized Participants will create and redeem Creation Units on the same trade date. In these instances, the Trust reserves the right to settle these transactions on a net basis.

<u>Cash Redemption Method</u>

When cash redemptions of Creation Units are available or specified for the Fund, they will be effected in essentially the same manner as in-kind redemptions. In the case of a cash redemption, the investor will receive the cash equivalent of the Redemption Basket minus any Transaction Fees, as described above.

**BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS**

While changes to the Fund's investment portfolio will generally be implemented through the issuance and redemption of the Fund's Creation Units in exchange for a Creation Basket, there may be occasions wherein the Adviser will purchase or sell securities directly on behalf of the Fund. To the extent that the Fund issues or redeems Creation Units partly or solely for cash, the Adviser may have to execute portfolio transactions on behalf of the Fund.

In placing portfolio transactions, the Adviser seeks the best qualitative execution for the Fund, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), the execution capability, financial responsibility and responsiveness of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer. The Adviser generally seeks favorable prices and commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.

The Adviser does not currently use the Fund's assets in connection with third party soft dollar arrangements, but the Adviser reserves the right to do so in the future.

Purchases and sales of equity securities traded on an exchange are typically executed through broker-dealers that charge a commission. Commission rates are negotiable. Over-the-counter equity transactions will be placed either directly with principal market makers or with broker-dealers, if the same or a better price, including commissions and executions, is available. Fixed income securities are normally purchased directly from the issuer, an underwriter or a market maker. Purchases include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and the purchase price paid to a market maker may include the spread between the bid and ask prices.

For the fiscal period ended June 21, 2024 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2025, the Adviser directed the amount of $2,032 in brokerage transactions to brokers, of which none of these commissions were directed to brokers on the basis of research services and none were paid to affiliates. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Adviser directed the amount of $8,813 in brokerage transactions to brokers, of which none of these commissions were directed to brokers on the basis of research services and none were paid to affiliates. As of January 31, 2026, the Fund did not own securities of regular broker/dealers.

**TRADE ALLOCATION**

Investment decisions for the Fund and other clients of the Adviser are made with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current holdings, availability of cash for investment, and the size of their investments generally.

A security may be bought or sold by the Adviser for only one client or in different amounts and at different times for more than one but less than all clients. Likewise, a particular security may be bought for one or more clients when one or more other clients are selling the security. In addition, purchases or sales of the same security may be made for two or more clients of the Adviser on the same day. To the extent that multiple clients are purchasing or selling a specific security at the same time, such transactions will be allocated among the clients in a manner believed by the Adviser to be equitable to each. In some cases, this procedure could have an adverse effect on the price or amount of the securities purchased or sold by the Fund.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST**

**SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS**

All shareholders are entitled to one vote for each Fund share held on the record date for any action requiring a vote by the shareholders. Shareholders of the Trust will vote in the aggregate and not by Fund except as otherwise expressly required by law or when the Trustees determine that the matter to be voted upon affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular Fund.

Each share of the Fund represents a pro rata interest in the assets of the Fund. Fund shares have no preemptive, exchange, subscription or conversion rights and there are no restrictions on the transfer of Fund shares. Each Fund share participates pro rata in all dividends and distributions of the Fund and in the net distributable assets upon liquidation.

The Trust is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees except that (1) the Trust is required to hold a shareholder meeting for the election of Trustees at such time as less than a majority of the Trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders and (2) if, as a result of a vacancy on the Board, less than two-thirds of the Trustees holding office have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy may only be filled by a vote of the shareholders. Except as set forth above, a Trustee may continue to hold office and may appoint successor Trustees.

Under the Trust Agreement, the Trustees have the power to liquidate any Fund without shareholder approval. While the Trustees have no present intent to exercise this power, they may do so if the Fund fails to reach a viable size within a reasonable amount of time or for such other reasons as may be determined by the Board.

The rights of shareholders cannot be modified without a majority vote of the shareholders.

**BOOK ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM**

The information below supplements disclosure in the Prospectus regarding the book entry system. This information should be read in conjunction with the disclosure included in the Prospectus.

DTC acts as securities depositary for the Fund's shares. Shares of the Fund are represented by securities registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., and deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC. Generally, certificates will not be issued for shares.

DTC is a limited-purpose trust company that was created to hold securities of the DTC Participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. More specifically, DTC is owned by a number of its DTC Participants and by the Exchange and FINRA. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants").

Beneficial ownership of the Fund's shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants, and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in the Fund's shares (owners of such beneficial interests are referred to herein as "Beneficial Owners") is shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants) and on the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners that are not DTC Participants). Beneficial Owners will receive from or through the DTC Participant a written confirmation relating to their purchase of the Fund's shares. The Trust recognizes DTC or its nominee as the record owner of the Fund's shares for all purposes. Beneficial Owners of the Fund's shares are not entitled to have Fund shares registered in their names, and will not receive or be entitled to physical delivery of share certificates. Each Beneficial Owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and any DTC Participant and/or Indirect Participant through which such Beneficial Owner holds its interests, to exercise any rights of a holder of the Fund's shares.

Conveyance of all notices, statements, and other communications to Beneficial Owners is affected as follows. DTC will make available to the Trust upon request and for a fee a listing of the Fund's shares held by each DTC Participant. The Trust shall obtain from each such DTC Participant the number of Beneficial Owners holding the Fund's shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Trust shall provide each such DTC Participant with copies of such notice, statement, or other communication, in such form, number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners.

In addition, the Trust shall pay to each such DTC Participant a fair and reasonable amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

Share distributions shall be made to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the Fund's shares. DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any such distributions, shall credit immediately DTC Participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the Fund as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. Payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners of the Fund's shares held through such DTC Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in a "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants.

The Trust has no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Fund's shares, or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants.

DTC may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to any Fund at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Fund and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Fund shall take action either to find a replacement for DTC to perform its functions at a comparable cost or, if such replacement is unavailable, to issue and deliver printed certificates representing ownership of the Fund's shares, unless the Trust makes other arrangements with respect thereto satisfactory to the Exchange. The DTC Participants' rules and policies are made publicly available through its website at www.dtcc.com.

**PROXY VOTING POLICY**

The Trust and the Adviser have each adopted proxy voting policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in shareholders' best interests. As a brief summary, the Trust's policy delegates responsibility regarding proxy voting to the Adviser in relation to the securities purchased by the Adviser. Proxies will be voted in accordance with the Adviser's proxy voting policies, subject to the supervision of the Board.

The Trust's policy provides that if a proxy proposal raises a material conflict of interest between the interests of the Adviser, the Trust's principal underwriter, or an affiliated person of the Fund, and the interests of the Fund (a "Conflict"), the Adviser shall resolve such conflict by: (1) voting the proxy consistent with a pre-determined voting policy for various types of proposals ("Pre-Determined Voting Policy") if the Adviser has little or no discretion to deviate from such policy with respect to the proposal in question; or (2) disclosing the conflict to the Board and obtaining the Board's consent to the proposed vote prior to voting on such proposal if the Adviser has discretion to deviate from its Pre-Determined Voting Policy or does not maintain a Pre-Determined Voting Policy. Under the policy, the Board may vote a proxy subject to a Conflict disclosed by the Adviser based on the recommendation of an independent third party.

The Adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures have been implemented to ensure that the Adviser votes in the best interest of clients and address any material conflicts that may arise during the voting process. The responsibilities of proxy voting have been assigned to the Adviser. The Committee's duties consist of analyzing proxy statements of issuers whose stock is owned in the client accounts. The Adviser's proxy voting is based on its experience with voting corporate governance issues. Each proxy will be considered based on the relevant facts and circumstances. One of the primary factors the Adviser considers when determining the desirability of investing in a particular company is the quality and depth of that company's management. Accordingly, the recommendation of management on any issue is one of the factors considered in determining how proxies should be voted.

The proxy voting policies of the Trust and Adviser are included in Appendices A and B herein respectively.

Information regarding how the Fund voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ending June 30th is available: (1) without charge, upon request, by calling (866) 666-7156; (2) by sending an email request to <u>Fulfillment@ultimusfundsolutions.com</u>; (3) by visiting the Fund's website at https://www.nightviewfund.com/; and (4) on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.

**PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DISCLOSURE PRACTICES**

The disclosure policy of the Fund and the Adviser generally prohibits the disclosure of portfolio holdings information to any investor or third party before the same information is made publicly available. Employees of the Adviser and certain affiliates have ongoing access to nonpublic information concerning the Fund's portfolio holdings and are prohibited from trading securities on the basis of this information. Such persons must report all personal securities trades and obtain pre-clearance for certain personal securities trades. Firms that provide administration, custody, financial, accounting, legal, or other services to the Fund may receive nonpublic information about Fund portfolio holdings as needed for purposes relating to their services. Service providers are subject to a duty of confidentiality whether by contract, internal policies or procedures, and/or pursuant to the requirements of a professional code.

Consistent with the portfolio holdings disclosure policy adopted by the Board, the Fund publicly discloses on each Business Day, prior to the opening of regular trading on the Exchange, on the Fund's website, certain information relating to the portfolio securities that will form the basis for the Fund's calculation of NAV at the end of that Business Day. Consistent with this policy, the Fund may make

available through the facilities of the NSCC or through posting on www.nightviewfund.com, prior to the opening of trading on each Business Day, a list of the Fund's holdings (generally pro-rata) that Authorized Participants could deliver to the Fund to settle purchases of the Fund (*i.e.,* Deposit Securities) or that Authorized Participants would receive from the Fund to settle redemptions of the Fund (*i.e.,* Fund Securities). These files are known as the Portfolio Composition File and the Fund Data File (collectively, the "Files"). The Files are applicable for the next trading day and are provided to the NSCC and/or posted on www.nightviewfund.com after the close of markets in the U.S.

No consideration may be received by the Fund, the Adviser, or any other person in connection with the disclosure of portfolio information.

The Board exercises oversight of the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings by: (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the policy, the Trust's Code of Ethics and other relevant policies and procedures of the Trust and its service providers by the CCO; (2) considering reports and recommendations by the CCO concerning material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act); and (3) considering proposed amendments to this policy. The Board also receives and reviews periodically and at least annually a list of the persons who receive nonpublic portfolio holdings information and the purposes for which it is furnished.

**CODES OF ETHICS**

Each of the Trust, the Adviser, and the Distributor maintains a Code of Ethics which permits the Trustees, officers, and certain employees of the Adviser and the Distributor, as applicable, to invest in securities for their own accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, subject to certain pre-clearance and blackout provisions that minimize potential conflicts of interest.

Although they do permit these persons to trade in securities, including those in which the Fund may invest, they also contain significant safeguards designed to protect the Trust and its shareholders from abuses in this area, such as requirements to obtain prior approval for, and to report, particular transactions. Copies of these Codes of Ethics have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Trust's Registration Statement.

**PORTFOLIO TURNOVER**

The portfolio turnover rate of the Fund is defined by the SEC as the ratio of the lesser of annual sales or purchases to the monthly average value of the portfolio, excluding from both the numerator and the denominator securities with maturities at the time of acquisition of one year or less. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transactions costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities. For the period June 21, 2024 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2025, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 46% of the average value of its portfolio. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 124% of the average value of its portfolio. The increase in the Fund's portfolio turnover rate between January 31, 2025 and January 31, 2026 can be attributed to the opportunity set within the market changing over the relevant period. A combination of prior investments reaching full valuations in the Adviser's opinion, and new opportunities presenting themselves due to what the Adviser believes to be over corrections in various sectors. These periods of higher turnover occur occasionally even with the long-term approach and directive.

**DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE**

The Fund calculates its NAV per share as of the close of the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each Business Day. The NAV per share is calculated by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (*e.g.*, value of total assets minus total liabilities) by the total number of shares outstanding.

To calculate the Fund's NAV per share, the Trust follows valuation procedures approved by the Board. Pursuant to these procedures, the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide current market values for the Fund's portfolio securities. These security pricing services value equity securities (including foreign equity securities) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange and in the case of over-the-counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, including zero-coupon securities, debt securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the close of the Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on the day the value of the foreign security is determined.

Options contracts are generally valued at the mean of the bid and asked price as reported on the highest-volume exchange (in terms of the number of option contracts traded for that issue) on which such options are traded. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at NAV (except ETFs which are valued consistent with the pricing process for equity securities). In certain limited circumstances such as when a security's closing price versus the prior day's closing price exceeds a defined variance tolerance, or when

a security's closing price is unchanged as compared to the prior day's closing price, a financial intermediary's good faith determination of the fair value of a security or option may be used instead of its current market value, even if the security's market price is readily available.

**STATUS AND TAXATION OF THE FUND**

Set forth below is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations affecting the Fund and the purchase, ownership, and disposition of shares. It is based upon the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities, and administrative rulings and practices as in effect as of the date of this SAI, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The following information supplements should be read in conjunction with the section in the Prospectus entitled "Tax Consequences".

This summary assumes that the Fund shareholder holds shares as capital assets within the meaning of the Code and does not hold shares in connection with a trade or business. This summary does not address the potential U.S. federal income tax considerations possibly applicable to an investment in shares to Fund shareholders holding shares through a partnership (or other pass-through entity) or to Fund shareholders subject to special tax rules. Prospective Fund shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the specific federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of investing in shares based on their particular circumstances.

The Fund has not requested and will not request an advance ruling from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") as to the federal income tax matters described below. The IRS could adopt positions contrary to those discussed below and such positions could be sustained. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the federal tax consequences of the purchase, ownership, or disposition of shares, as well as the tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, foreign country, or other taxing jurisdiction.

**Tax Treatment of the Fund**

<u>In General</u>. The Fund intends to qualify and elect to be treated as a RIC under the Code. To qualify and maintain its tax status as a RIC, the Fund must meet annually certain income and asset diversification requirements and must distribute annually at least the sum of ninety percent (90%) of its "investment company taxable income" (which includes dividends, interest, and net short-term capital gains) and ninety percent (90%) of its net exempt interest income. As a RIC, the Fund generally will not have to pay corporate-level federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that it distributes to its shareholders.

With respect to some or all of its investments, the Fund may be required to recognize taxable income in advance of receiving the related cash payment. For example, if the Fund invests in original issue discount obligations (such as zero-coupon debt instruments or debt instruments with payment-in-kind interest), the Fund will be required to include as interest income a portion of the original issue discount that accrues over the term of the obligation, even if the related cash payment is not received by the Fund until a later year. Under the "wash sale" rules, the Fund may not be able to deduct a loss on a disposition of a portfolio security. As a result, the Fund may be required to make an annual income distribution greater than the total cash actually received during the year. Such distribution may be made from the cash assets of the Fund or by selling portfolio securities. The Fund may realize gains or losses from such sales, in which event the Fund's shareholders may receive a larger capital gain distribution than they would in the absence of such transactions.

The Fund will be subject to a four percent (4%) excise tax on certain undistributed income if such Fund does not distribute to its shareholders in each calendar year at least 98% of its ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the twelve months ended October 31 of such year, as well as 100% of any previously distributed income from prior years. The Fund intends to make distributions necessary to avoid the 4% excise tax.

<u>Failure to Maintain RIC Status</u>. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any year (subject to certain curative measures allowed by the Code), the Fund will be subject to regular corporate-level income tax in that year on all of its taxable income, regardless of whether the Fund makes any distributions to its shareholders. In addition, distributions will be taxable to the Fund's shareholders generally as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions from a non-qualifying Fund's earnings and profits will be taxable to the Fund's shareholders as regular dividends, possibly eligible for (1) in the case of an individual Fund shareholder, treatment as a qualifying dividend (as discussed below) subject to tax at preferential capital gains rates or (2) in the case of a corporate Fund shareholder, a dividends-received deduction.

<u>Futures Contracts</u>. The Fund may be required to mark-to-market and recognize as income for each taxable year its net unrealized gains and losses on certain futures contracts. In addition, the Fund may be required to defer the recognition of losses on futures contracts to the extent of any unrecognized gains on related positions held by the Fund. Any income from futures contracts would be subject to the RIC distribution requirements and would be taken into account for purposes of the 4% excise tax (described above).

<u>Foreign Currency Transactions</u>. Gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time the Fund accrues income, expenses, or other items denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Fund actually collects or pays such items are generally

treated as ordinary income or loss. Similarly, gains or losses on foreign currency forward contracts and the disposition of debt securities denominated in a foreign currency, to the extent attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates between the acquisition and disposition dates, are also treated as ordinary income or loss.

<u>Special or Uncertain Tax Consequences</u>. The Fund's investment or other activities could be subject to special and complex tax rules that may produce differing tax consequences, such as disallowing or limiting the use of losses or deductions (such as the "wash sale" rules), causing the recognition of income or gain without a corresponding receipt of cash, affecting the time as to when a purchase or sale of stock or securities is deemed to occur, or altering the characterization of certain complex financial transactions. The Fund will monitor its investment activities for any adverse effects that may result from these special tax rules.

The Fund may engage in investment or other activities the treatment of which may not be clear or may be subject to recharacterization by the IRS. In particular, the tax treatment of swaps and other derivatives and income from foreign currency transactions is unclear for purposes of determining the Fund's status as a RIC. If a final determination on the tax treatment of the Fund's investment or other activities differs from the Fund's original expectations, the final determination could adversely affect the Fund's status as a RIC or the timing or character of income recognized by the Fund, requiring the Fund to purchase or sell assets, alter its portfolio, or take other action in order to comply with the final determination.

**Tax Treatment of Fund Shareholders**

<u>Fund Distributions</u>. In general, Fund distributions are subject to federal income tax when paid, regardless of whether they consist of cash or property or are reinvested in shares. However, any Fund distribution declared in October, November, or December of any calendar year and payable to shareholders of record on a specified date during such month will be deemed to have been received by the Fund shareholder on December 31 of such calendar year, provided such dividend is actually paid during January of the following calendar year.

Distributions of the Fund's net investment income (other than, as discussed below, qualifying dividend income) and net short-term capital gains are taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund's current or accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions of the Fund's net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses are taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent of the Fund's current or accumulated earnings and profits, regardless of the Fund shareholder's holding period in the Fund's shares. Distributions of qualifying dividend income are taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent of the Fund's current or accumulated earnings and profits, provided that the Fund shareholder meets certain holding period and other requirements with respect to the distributing Fund's shares and the distributing Fund meets certain holding period and other requirements with respect to its dividend-paying stocks. To the extent that the Fund makes a distribution of income received by such Fund in lieu of dividends with respect to securities on loan pursuant to a securities lending transaction, such income will not constitute qualified dividend income to individual shareholders and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.

The Fund intends to distribute its long-term capital gains at least annually. However, by providing written notice to its shareholders no later than 60 days after its year-end, the Fund may elect to retain some or all of its long-term capital gains and designate the retained amount as a "deemed distribution". In that event, the Fund pays income tax on the retained long-term capital gain, and the Fund shareholder recognizes a proportionate share of the Fund's undistributed long-term capital gain. In addition, the Fund shareholder can claim a refundable tax credit for the shareholder's proportionate share of the Fund's income taxes paid on the undistributed long-term capital gain and increase the tax basis of the shares by an amount equal to the shareholder's proportionate share of the Fund's undistributed long-term capital gains, reduced by the amount of the shareholder's tax credit.

Long-term capital gains of non-corporate Fund shareholders (i.e., individuals, trusts, and estates) are taxed at a maximum rate of 20%. In addition, high-income individuals (and certain trusts and estates) will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on net investment income (which generally includes all Fund distributions and gains from the sale of shares) in addition to otherwise applicable federal income tax. Please consult your tax advisor regarding this tax.

Investors considering buying shares just prior to a distribution should be aware that, although the price of the shares purchased at such time may reflect the forthcoming distribution, such distribution nevertheless may be taxable (as opposed to a non-taxable return of capital).

<u>Sales of Shares</u>. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares is treated generally as a long-term gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than one year. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of shares held for one year or less is generally treated as a short-term gain or loss, except that any capital loss on the sale of shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that capital gain dividends were paid with respect to such shares.

<u>In-Kind Creation Unit Issues and Redemptions</u>. On an issue of shares as part of a Creation Unit made by means of an in-kind deposit, an Authorized Participant recognizes capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the fair market where the creation is

conducted in-kind by deposit of Deposit Securities value (at issue) of the issued shares (plus any cash received by the Authorized Participant as part of the issue) and (2) the Authorized Participant's aggregate basis in the exchanged securities (plus any cash paid by the Authorized Participant as part of the issue). On a redemption of shares as part of a Creation Unit where the redemption is conducted in-kind by a payment of Fund Securities, an Authorized Participant recognizes capital gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the fair market value (at redemption) of the securities received (plus any cash received by the Authorized Participant as part of the redemption) and (2) the Authorized Participant's basis in the redeemed shares (plus any cash paid by the Authorized Participant as part of the redemption). However, the IRS may assert, under the "wash sale" rules or on the basis that there has been no significant change in the Authorized Participant's economic position, that any loss on an issue or redemption of Creation Units cannot be deducted currently.

In general, any capital gain or loss recognized upon the issue or redemption of shares (as components of a Creation Unit) is treated either as long-term capital gain or loss, if the deposited securities (in the case of an issue) or the shares (in the case of a redemption) have been held for more than one year, or otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any capital loss recognized on a redemption of shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that capital gain dividends were paid with respect to such shares.

<u>Foreign Tax Credits</u>. The Fund may be subject to foreign income taxes and may be able to elect to pass-along such credit to its shareholders. If this election is available and the Fund elects such treatment, the amount of such credit will be treated as an additional distribution by the Fund and, subject to various limitations of the Code, its shareholders will be entitled to claim a foreign tax credit to offset their tax liability. Please consult your tax advisor regarding whether you will be able to use such credit against your tax liability.

<u>Back-Up Withholding</u>. The Fund may be required to report certain information on the Fund shareholder to the IRS and withhold federal income tax ("backup withholding") at a 24% rate from all taxable distributions and redemption proceeds payable to the Fund shareholder if the Fund shareholder fails to provide the Fund with a correct taxpayer identification number (or, in the case of a U.S. individual, a social security number) or a completed exemption certificate (e.g., an IRS Form W-8BEN or W- 8BEN-E, as applicable, in the case of a foreign Fund shareholder) or if the IRS notifies the Fund that the Fund shareholder is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be credited against the Fund shareholder's federal income tax liability.

<u>Tax Shelter Reporting Regulations</u>. If the Fund shareholder recognizes a loss with respect to shares of $2 million or more for an individual Fund shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder in any single taxable year (or a greater loss over a combination of years), the Fund shareholder may be required file a disclosure statement with the IRS. Significant penalties may be imposed upon the failure to comply with these reporting rules.

**Special Issues for Foreign Shareholders**

In general, if the Fund shareholder is not a U.S. citizen or resident or if the Fund shareholder is a foreign entity, such Fund's ordinary income dividends (including distributions of other amounts that would not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if paid directly to foreign Fund shareholders) will be subject, in general, to withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate established under an applicable tax treaty). However interest-related dividends and short-term capital gain dividends generally will not be subject to withholding tax; provided that the foreign Fund shareholder furnishes the Fund with a completed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or acceptable substitute documentation) establishing the Fund shareholder's status as foreign and that the Fund does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the foreign Fund shareholder would be subject to withholding tax if the foreign Fund shareholder were to receive the related amounts directly rather than as dividends from the Fund.

Under current law, gain on a sale of shares or an exchange of such shares will be exempt from U.S. federal income tax (including withholding at the source) unless (1) in the case of an individual foreign Fund shareholder, the Fund shareholder is physically present in the United States for more than 182 days during the taxable year and meets certain other requirements, or (2) at any time during the shorter of the period during which the foreign Fund shareholder held such shares of the Fund and the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition of those shares, the Fund was a "U.S. real property holding corporation" (as defined below), and the foreign Fund shareholder actually or constructively held more than 5% of the shares. In the case of a disposition described in clause (2) of the preceding sentence, the gain would be taxed in the same manner as for a domestic Fund shareholder and in certain cases will be collected through withholding at the source in an amount equal to 15% of the sales proceeds.

Unless treated as a "domestically-controlled" RIC, the Fund will be a "U.S. real property holding corporation" if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests (which includes shares of U.S. real property holding corporations and certain participating debt securities) equals or exceeds 50% of the fair market value of such interests plus its interests in real property located outside the United States plus any other assets used or held for use in a business. A "domestically controlled" RIC is any RIC in which at all times during the relevant testing period 50% or more in value of the RIC's stock was owned by U.S. persons.

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (i.e., FATCA), foreign shareholders will be subject to U.S. withholding tax of 30 percent on all U.S. source income (including all dividends from the Fund), and beginning in 2019, on gross proceeds from the sale of U.S. stocks and securities (including the sale of shares), unless they comply with certain reporting requirements. Complying with such requirements will require the shareholder to provide and certify certain information about itself and (where applicable) its beneficial owners, and foreign financial institutions generally will be required to enter in an agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or tax authority in the institution's own country to provide certain information regarding such shareholder's account holders. Please consult your tax advisor regarding this tax.

To claim a credit or refund for any Fund-level taxes on any undistributed long-term capital gains (as discussed above) or any taxes collected through withholding, a foreign Fund shareholder must obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and file a federal income tax return even if the foreign Fund shareholder would not otherwise be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number or file a U.S. income tax return.

The foregoing discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations only and is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Purchasers of shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of investing in such shares, including consequences under state, local and non-U.S. tax laws. Finally, the foregoing discussion is based on applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, judicial authority and administrative interpretations in effect on the date of this SAI. Changes in applicable authority could materially affect the conclusions discussed above, and such changes often occur.

**DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS**

The Fund will declare and distribute dividends from net investment income, if any, on an annual basis, and will distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.

**Dividend Reinvestment**

Broker dealers, at their own discretion, may offer a dividend reinvestment service under which shares are purchased in the secondary market at current market prices. Investors should consult their broker dealer for further information regarding any dividend reinvestment service offered by such broker dealer.

CAPITOL SERIES TRUST

4.3 Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

November 19, 2013

**I.** **INTRODUCTION** 

Capitol Series Trust (the "Trust") is the beneficial owner of its portfolio securities. Accordingly, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"), acting on behalf of the Trust and each of its series (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"), has the right and the fiduciary obligation to vote proxies relating to the Funds' portfolio securities in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has adopted these Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures with respect to voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Funds (these "Policies and Procedures").

**II.** **POLICY** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** **DELEGATION TO THE INVESTMENT ADVISER.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The policy of the Trust is to delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by a Fund to the investment adviser for the Fund (each an "Adviser") as a part of the Adviser's general management of the Fund, subject to the Board's continuing oversight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The policy of the Trust is also to adopt the policies and procedures used by the Adviser to a Fund to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities held by its clients, including the Fund (the "Adviser's Policies and Procedures").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. The Adviser shall periodically inform its employees (i) that they are under an obligation to be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest on the part of the Adviser with respect to voting proxies on behalf of a Fund, both as a result of the employee's personal relationships and due to circumstances that may arise during the conduct of the Adviser's business, and (ii) that employees should bring conflicts of interest of which they become aware to the attention of the management of the Adviser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. The Adviser shall be responsible for coordinating the delivery of proxies by a Fund's custodian to the Adviser or to an agent of the Adviser selected by the Adviser to vote proxies with respect to which the Adviser has such discretion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** **DELEGATION TO SUB-ADVISORS.** An Adviser to a Fund may, but is not required to, further delegate the responsibility for voting proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Fund to one or more of the sub-advisers retained to provide investment advisory services to such Fund, if any (each a "Sub-Adviser"). If such responsibility is delegated to a Sub-Adviser, then the Sub- Adviser shall assume the fiduciary duty and reporting responsibilities of the Adviser under these policy guidelines. As used in these Policies and Procedures, the term "Adviser" includes any and all Sub-Advisers.

**III.** **FIDUCIARY DUTY** 

The Adviser of a Fund is a fiduciary to the Fund and must vote proxies in a manner consistent with the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.

**IV.** **PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** **ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES TO THE BOARD.** At least annually, the Adviser shall present to the Board for its review the Adviser's Policies and Procedures. In addition, the Adviser shall notify the Board promptly of material changes to the Adviser's Policies and Procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** **ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF PROXY VOTING RECORD TO THE BOARD.** At least annually, each Adviser to a Fund shall provide to the Board a record of each proxy voted with respect to portfolio securities held by the Fund during the year. With respect to those proxies that the Adviser has identified as involving a conflict of interest, the Adviser shall submit a separate report indicating the nature of the conflict of interest and how that conflict was resolved with respect to the voting of the proxy. For this purpose, a "conflict of interest" shall be deemed to occur when the Adviser, the Trust's principal underwriters, or an affiliated person of the Adviser or a principal underwriter has a financial interest in a matter presented by a proxy to be voted on behalf of a Fund, other than the obligation the Adviser incurs as investment adviser to that Fund, which may compromise the Adviser's independence of judgment and action in voting the proxy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**C.** **RESOLUTION OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.** Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict of interest between the interests of the Adviser to a Fund, the Trust's principal underwriter, or an affiliated person of the Fund, the Adviser or a principal underwriter and that of the Fund, the Adviser shall resolve such conflict in the manner described below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Vote in Accordance with a Predetermined Specific Policy. To the extent that the Adviser's Policies and Procedures include a pre-determined voting policy for various types of proposals and the Adviser has little or no discretion to deviate from such policy with respect to the proposal in question, the Adviser shall vote in accordance with such pre-determined voting policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Notify and Obtain Consent of the Board. To the extent that the Adviser's Policies and Procedures include a pre-determined voting policy for various proposals and the Adviser has discretion to deviate from such policy, the Adviser shall disclose the conflict to the Board and obtain the Board's consent to the proposed vote prior to voting on such proposal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Detailed Disclosure to the Board. To enable the Board to make an informed decision regarding the vote in question, such disclosure to the Board shall include sufficient detail regarding the matter to be voted on and the nature of the conflict. When the Board does not respond to such a conflict disclosure request or denies the request, the Adviser shall abstain from voting the securities held by the relevant Funds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Use of Independent Third Party. To the extent there is a conflict of interest between the Adviser, the Funds' principal underwriters, or an affiliated person of the Adviser or a principal underwriter and one or more Funds and the Adviser notifies the Board of such conflict, the Board may vote the proxy in accordance with the recommendation of an independent third party.

**V.** **REVOCATION OF AUTHORITY TO VOTE** 

The delegation by the Board of the authority to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Funds may be revoked by the Board, in whole or in part, at any time.

**VI.** **ANNUAL FILING OF PROXY VOTING RECORD** 

The Trust shall file an annual report of each proxy voted with respect to portfolio securities held by the Funds during the twelve-month period ended June 30 on Form N-PX not later than August 31 of each year.

**VII.** **PROXY VOTING DISCLOSURES** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**A.** **The Trust shall include in its registration statement:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. A description of these Policies and Procedures and of the Adviser's Policies and Procedures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A statement disclosing that information regarding how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Funds during the most recent twelve-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust's toll-free telephone number or through a specified Internet address or both and on the SEC website.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** **The Trust shall include in its Annual and Semi-Annual Reports to shareholders:** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. A statement that a description of these Policies and Procedures is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust's toll-free telephone number or through a specified Internet address or both and on the SEC website.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A statement that information regarding how the Trust voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held by the Funds during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust's toll-free telephone number or through a specified Internet address or both and on the SEC website.

**Appendix B**

**Nightview LLC – Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures**

**Policy**

As part of Firm policy, Nightview Capital exercises authority over proxies when authorized to do so. A disclosure regarding this policy is included in Nightview Capital's Brochure. Nightview Capital will vote proxies in a manner that is consistent with the general antifraud provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Advisers Act") and applicable federal and state law.

**BACKGROUND**

Proxy voting is an important right of shareholders; thus, reasonable care and diligence must be undertaken to ensure that such rights are properly and timely exercised. SEC registered investment advisers who exercise voting authority with respect to client securities are required by Rule 206(4)-6 of the Advisers Act to: (1) adopt and implement written policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that client securities are voted in the best interests of clients, which must include how an adviser addresses material conflicts that may arise between an adviser's interests and those of its Funds; (2) disclose to clients how they may obtain information from the adviser with respect to the voting of proxies for their securities; (3) describe a summary of its Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures and, upon request, furnish a copy to clients and (4) maintain certain records relating to the adviser's proxy voting activities when the adviser does have proxy voting authority.

**PROCEDURE**

**<u>Operational Guidelines</u>**

When voting proxies, Nightview Capital will vote such securities for the exclusive benefit and in the best economic interest of the Funds as determined by Nightview Capital in good faith. These voting responsibilities are exercised in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Advisers Act, as well as with Nightview Capital's fiduciary duties under applicable law to act in the best interests of its clients.

All proxies are considered and voted on a case-by-case basis. Nightview Capital may refrain from voting a proxy. This may be done, for example where: (1) the cost of voting the proxy outweighs the potential benefit derived from voting; (2) a proxy is received with respect to securities that have been sold before the date of the shareholder meeting and are no longer held in a client account; (3) the terms of an applicable securities lending agreement prevent Nightview Capital from voting with respect to a loaned security; (4) despite reasonable efforts, Nightview Capital receives proxy materials without sufficient time to reach an informed voting decision and vote the proxies; (5) the terms of the security or any related agreement or applicable law preclude Nightview Capital from voting; or (6) the terms of an applicable advisory agreement reserve voting authority to the client or another party.

Though it may not be clear how best to vote a proxy to maximize shareholder value or be able to decide with certainty, these policies are intended to provide guidance so that Nightview Capital acts in a manner it deems to be prudent and diligent and which is intended to enhance the economic value of the Funds'assets.

**<u>Identifying and Addressing Conflicts of Interest</u>**

Nightview Capital acknowledges its responsibility for identifying material conflicts of interest related to voting proxies. To ensure that Nightview Capital is aware of the facts necessary to identify conflicts, management of Nightview Capital must disclose to the CCO any personal conflicts such as officer or director positions held by them, their spouses or close relatives, in any portfolio company. Conflicts based on business relationships with Nightview Capital or any affiliate of Nightview Capital will be considered only to the extent Nightview Capital has actual knowledge of such relationships. If a conflict may exist which cannot be otherwise addressed by the CCO, or his designee, Nightview Capital may choose one of several options including: (1) "echo" or "mirror" voting the proxies in the same proportion as the votes of other proxy holders that are not Nightview Capital clients; (2) if possible, erecting information barriers around the person or persons making the voting decision sufficient to insulate the decision from the conflict; or (3) if agreed upon in writing with the client, forwarding the proxies to affected clients and allowing them to vote their own proxies.

**<u>Disclosure Policy</u>**

Fund Investors may request a copy of Nightview Capital's Proxy Procedures and/or information regarding how Nightview Capital voted by contacting the Firm.

**<u>Item 29</u>. <u>Persons Controlled by or under Common Control with the Funds</u>**

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.

**<u>Item 30</u>. <u>Indemnification</u>**

(k) Article VI, Section 6.4 of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Registrant, an Ohio business trust, provides that:

<u>Indemnification of Trustees, Officers, etc.</u> Subject to and except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1940 Act, the Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including persons who serve at the Trust's request as directors, officers or trustees of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor or otherwise (hereinafter referred to as a "Covered Person") against all liabilities, including but not limited to amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties, and expenses, including reasonable accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit or other proceeding, whether civil or criminal, before any court or administrative or legislative body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved as a party or otherwise or with which such person may be or may have been threatened, while in office or thereafter, by reason of being or having been such a Trustee or officer, director or trustee, and except that no Covered Person shall be indemnified against any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which such Covered Person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be permitted pursuant to Section 17 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Trustees, Officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in Investment Company Act Release No. IC-11330. Therefore, the Registrant undertakes that in addition to complying with the applicable provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or otherwise, in the absence of a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, that an indemnification payment will not be made unless in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination based upon factual review has been made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum of non-party Trustees who are not interested persons of the Registrant or (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that the indemnitee was not liable for an act of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties. The Registrant further undertakes that advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of a proceeding (upon undertaking for repayment unless it is ultimately determined that indemnification is appropriate) against an officer, trustee, or controlling person of the Registrant will not be made absent the fulfillment of at least one of the following conditions: (i) the indemnitee provides security for his undertaking; (ii) the Registrant is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or (iii) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party trustees or independent legal counsel in a written opinion makes a factual determination that there is reason to believe the indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") may be permitted to Trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by trustees, officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such trustees, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

(b) Section 7 of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and each Adviser, on behalf of each series in the Trust, provides that:

The Adviser shall indemnify the Trust, each Fund and the Trust's officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents (each, a "Trust Indemnitee") for, and shall defend and hold each Trust Indemnitee harmless from, all losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (collectively, the "Losses") incurred by the Trust Indemnitee and arising from or in connection with the performance of this Agreement or a Subadvisory Agreement and resulting from the Adviser's bad faith, willful misfeasance, or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or a Subadvisory Agreement, the Adviser's reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or a Subadvisory Agreement, or the breach of its fiduciary duty to the Trust under federal securities laws or state laws; provided, however, no such indemnification shall be required to the extent that the Losses result from the Trust's bad faith, willful misfeasance, or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or the Trust's reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

The Trust shall indemnify the Adviser, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and agents (each, an "Adviser Indemnitee") for, and shall defend and hold each Adviser Indemnitee harmless from all Losses incurred by the Adviser Indemnitee and arising from or in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, no such indemnification shall be required to the extent that the Losses result from the Adviser's bad faith, willful misfeasance, or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or a Subadvisory Agreement, the Adviser's reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or a Subadvisory Agreement, or the Adviser's breach of its fiduciary duty under federal securities laws and state law.

Upon the assertion of a claim for which a party may be required to indemnify an Trust Indemnitee or an Adviser Indemnity (each, an "Indemnitee"), the Indemnitee must promptly notify the indemnifying party of such assertion, and shall keep the indemnifying party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The indemnifying party shall have the option to participate with the Indemnitee in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the indemnifying party may be required to indemnify it except with the indemnifying party's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; notwithstanding Sections 7(a) and 7(b) hereof, in the event the Indemnitee has not secured such consent from the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee.

Sections 4.3 through 4.5 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC provide that:

<u>Trust Indemnification</u>. The Trust will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Distributor, its several officers and directors, and any person who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses or in any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Trust, or arise out of, or are based upon, information furnished by or on behalf of the Trust filed in any state in order to qualify the Shares under the securities or blue sky laws thereof ("Blue Sky Application"), or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Distributor, its several officers and directors, and any person who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; <u>provided, however</u>, that the Trust shall not be liable in any case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of, or is based upon, any untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses, any Blue Sky Application or any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Trust in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Trust by, or on behalf of, and with respect to, the Distributor specifically for inclusion therein. In no event shall anything contained herein be so construed as to protect the Distributor against any liability to the Funds or their shareholders to which the Distributor would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations under this Agreement.

The Trust shall not indemnify any person pursuant to this Section 4.3 unless the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought has rendered a final decision on the merits that such person was not liable by reason of his willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of his duties, or his reckless disregard of obligations and duties, under this Agreement ("disabling conduct") or, in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination (based upon a review of the facts) that such person was not liable by reason of disabling conduct has been made by the vote of a majority of Trustees who are neither "interested persons" of the Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) nor parties to the proceeding, or in a written opinion by an independent legal counsel retained by the Trust.

The Trust shall advance attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by any person in defending any claim, demand, action or suit which is the subject of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.3, so long as such person shall: (i) undertake to repay all such advances unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification hereunder; and (ii) provide security for such undertaking, or the Trust shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party Trustees of the Trust (or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion) shall determine based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such person ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification hereunder.

<u>Distributor's Indemnification</u>. The Distributor will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Trust's several officers and Trustees and any person who controls the Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any of them may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect hereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any breach of its representations and warranties in Section 4.2 hereof, or the willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations under this Agreement, or which arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectuses, any Blue Sky Application or any application or other document executed by or on behalf of the Trust, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, which statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Trust or any of its several officers and Trustees by, or on behalf of, and with respect to, the Distributor specifically for inclusion therein, and will reimburse the Trust, the Trust's several officers and Trustees, and any person who controls the Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim.

<u>General Indemnity Provisions</u>. No indemnifying party shall be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in Section 4.3 or 4.4 hereof with respect to any claim made against such indemnifying party unless the indemnified party shall have notified the indemnifying party in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the indemnified party (or after the indemnified party shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent), but failure to notify the indemnifying party of any such claim shall not relieve it from any liability which it may otherwise have to the indemnified party. The indemnifying party will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such liability, and if the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense, such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain such counsel, the indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by the indemnified party.

(d) Sections 11.3 through 11.5 of the Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC provide that:

Each party (the "Indemnifying Party") agrees to indemnify, defend, and protect the other party, including its trustees or directors, officers, employees, and other agents (collectively, the "Indemnitees"), and shall hold the Indemnitees harmless from and against any actions, suits, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and reasonable costs, charges, expenses (including attorney fees and investigation expenses) (collectively, "Losses") arising directly or indirectly out of (1) the Indemnifying Party's failure to exercise the standard of care set forth above unless such Losses were caused in part by the Indemnitees own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence; (2) any violation of Applicable Law by the Indemnifying Party or its affiliated persons or agents relating to this Agreement and the activities thereunder; and (3) any material breach by the Indemnifying Party or its affiliated persons or agents of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, the Trust, a Fund, or the Advisor shall indemnify Distributor for Distributor's Losses arising from circumstances under Section 11.2.A.

Upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party's prior written consent.

<u>Dealer Agreement Indemnification</u>. Distributor acknowledges and agrees that certain dealers require that Distributor enter into dealer agreements (the "Non-Standard Dealer Agreements") that contain certain representations, undertakings, and indemnification that are not included in the Distributor's standard dealer agreement (the "Standard Dealer Agreement").

To the extent that Distributor is requested or required by the Trust to enter into any Non-Standard Dealer Agreement, the Trust shall indemnify, defend and hold the Distributor Indemnitees free and harmless from and against any and all Losses that any Distributor Indemnitee may incur arising out of or relating to (a) the Distributor's actions or failures to act pursuant to any Non-Standard Dealer Agreement; (b) any representations made by the Distributor in any Non-Standard Dealer Agreement to the extent that the Distributor is not required to make such representations in the Standard Dealer Agreement; or (c) any indemnification provided by the Distributor under a Non-Standard Dealer Agreement to the extent that such indemnification is beyond the indemnification the Distributor provides to intermediaries in the Standard Dealer Agreement. In no event shall anything contained herein be so construed as to protect the Distributor Indemnitees against any liability to the Trust or its shareholders to which the Distributor Indemnitees would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of Distributor's obligations or duties under the Non-Standard Dealer Agreement or by reason of Distributor's reckless disregard of its obligations or duties under the Non-Standard Dealer Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Sections 6 and 7 of the ETF Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Northern Lights Distributors, LLC provide that:

*<u>Indemnification of Distributor</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its managers and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), arising by reason of any person acquiring any Shares or Creation Units, based upon (i) the ground that the registration statement, prospectus, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements made not misleading, (ii) the Trust's failure to maintain an effective registration statement and prospectus with respect to Shares of the Fund that are the subject of the claim or demand, (iii) the Trust's failure to properly register Fund Shares under applicable state laws, (iv) instructions given by the Trust, the Trust's failure to perform its duties hereunder or any inaccuracy of its representations, (v) any claim brought under Section 11 of the 1933 Act, or (vi) all actions taken by Distributor hereunder resulting from Distributor's reliance on instructions received from an officer, agent or approved service provider of the Trust.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Trust to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any other person against any liability to which the Distributor or such person otherwise would be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement ("Disqualifying Conduct") by such party, or (ii) is the Trust to be liable to the Distributor under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6 with respect to any claim made against the Distributor or any person indemnified unless the Distributor or other person shall have notified the Trust in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the

nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Distributor or such other person (or after the Distributor or the person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Trust of any claim shall not relieve the Trust from any liability which it may have to the Distributor or any person against whom such action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Trust shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims subject to this indemnity provision. If the Trust elects to assume the defense of any such claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Trust and satisfactory to the indemnified defendants in the suit whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Trust elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the indemnified defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Trust does not elect to assume the defense of a suit, it will reimburse the indemnified defendants for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified defendants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Trust agrees to notify the Distributor promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers or Trustees in connection with the issuance or sale of Shares or Creation Units.

 

*<u>Indemnification of Trust</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Distributor covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and each of its Trustees and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Trust within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any loss, liability, damages, claim or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, damages, claim or expense and reasonable counsel fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or based upon any Disqualifying Conduct by Distributor in connection with the offering and sale of any Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In no case (i) is the indemnity of the Distributor in favor of the Trust or any other person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Trust or any other person against any liability to which the Trust or such other person would otherwise be subject by reason of Disqualifying Conduct by such party, or (ii) is the Distributor to be liable under its indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7 with respect to any claim made against the Trust or any person indemnified unless the Trust or person, as the case may be, shall have notified the Distributor in writing of the claim within a reasonable time after the summons or other first written notification giving information of the nature of the claim shall have been served upon the Trust or upon any person (or after the Trust or such person shall have received notice of service on any designated agent). However, failure to notify the Distributor of any claim shall not relieve the Distributor from any liability which it may have to the Trust or any person against whom the action is brought otherwise than on account of its indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Distributor shall be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in the defense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce the claim subject to this indemnity provision, but if the Distributor elects to assume the defense, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Distributor and satisfactory to the indemnified defendants whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the Distributor elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel, the defendants in the suit shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them. If the Distributor does not elect to assume the defense of any suit, it will reimburse the indemnified defendants in the suit for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The Distributor agrees to notify the Trust promptly of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it or any of its officers in connection with the sale of Shares or Creation Units.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

Nightview Capital seeks to foster a reputation of integrity and professionalism. The Firm's reputation is a vital business asset. Nightview Capital greatly values and endeavors to protect the confidence and trust placed in the Firm by its clients. To further that goal, Nightview Capital has adopted this Code and implemented policies and procedures to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and manipulative practices and to ensure compliance with the Federal Securities Laws and the fiduciary duties Nightview Capital owes its clients, including the Private Funds and registered Fund (collectively referred to as, "Clients" in this Code).

Nightview Capital has affirmative duties of care, honesty, loyalty and good faith to act in the best interests of its Clients. Clients' interests are paramount to and come before the personal interests of the Firm or its Access Persons. Access Persons are expected to behave as fiduciaries with respect to Clients. This means that each Access Person must render disinterested advice, protect Client assets (including nonpublic information about Clients or an Investor's account) and act always in the best interest of Clients. The Firm and Access Persons must also strive to identify and avoid conflicts of interest; however, such conflicts may arise.

Access Persons of Nightview Capital must not:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Client;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Make to a Client any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to a Client a material fact necessary
 to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit
 upon a Client;

2 Code of Ethics December 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Engage in any manipulative practice with respect to a Client;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Use their positions, or any investment opportunities presented by their positions, to personal advantage
 or to the detriment of a Client; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Conduct personal trading activities in contraventions of this Code or applicable legal principles or in
 such a manner as may be inconsistent with the duties owed to Clients as a fiduciary.

With regard to Nightview's service as investment adviser to the Fund, Rule 17j-1 imposes additional duties. This Code of Ethics must be approved by the Fund's Board of Directors initially and upon amendment within 6 months after the adoption of any material change.

Under Rule 17j-1, it is unlawful for certain persons, including any officer, director or trustee of Nightview, in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a "security held or to be acquired" by the Fund:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. To make any untrue statement of a material fact to the Fund or omit to state a material fact necessary in
 order to make the statements made to the Fund, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. To engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit
 upon the Fund; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Fund.

Under Rule 17j-1, a security held or to be acquired by the Fund means any Covered Security which, within the most recent 15 days, is or has been held by the Fund or is being or has been considered by the Fund or Nightview for purchase by the Fund and any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for a Covered Security.

To assure compliance with these restrictions and the Federal Securities Laws, as defined in this Code, Nightview Capital has adopted, and agreed to be governed by, the provisions of this Code in addition to the procedures contained in Nightview Capital's compliance manual ("Compliance Manual" or "Manual"). However, Access Persons are expected to comply not merely with the "letter of the law", but with the spirit of the laws, this Code and the Manual.

Should you have any doubt as to whether this Code applies to you, please contact the CCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. SUBSTANTIVE RESTRICTIONS

**Gifts and Entertainment Policy.** Access Persons must not give or accept gifts from any entity doing business with or on behalf of the Adviser in contravention of our gift policy, as contained in our Manual. As a general rule, gifts of nominal value or those that are customary in the industry such as meals or entertainment are permitted by Nightview Capital's gift policy. However, gifts or entertainment over $500 USD should be reported to, and precleared with, the CCO and will be tracked and logged. Access Persons are discouraged from accepting or providing excessive gifts or entertainment.

**Conflicts of Interest.** Access Persons must provide disinterested advice and any relevant potential personal or business conflicts of interest must be disclosed to the CCO and, where appropriate, "Information Wall" procedures may be utilized to avoid potential conflicts of interest. An Access Person must avoid engaging in any activity which might reflect poorly upon the Access Person, the Firm, or which would impair the Access Person's ability to discharge his or her duties with respect to Nightview Capital and its Clients.

**Waivers.** The CCO may grant waivers of any substantive restriction in appropriate circumstances (e.g., personal hardship) and will maintain records necessary to justify such waivers.

4. PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS AND PRE- CLEARANCE

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Restrictions

Access Persons are reminded that "front-running" Client transactions or trading based on material, nonpublic inside or confidential information violates not only this Code, Nightview Capital's insider trading policies and procedures, as well as other securities laws that are be punishable by fines and other penalties. <sup>1</sup>

Nightview has adopted the following principles governing personal investment activities by Nightview's Access Persons:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The interests of Client accounts will at all times be placed first;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Clients are best served when the Firm's principals and employees are invested side-by-side with the Clients;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· All personal securities transactions will be conducted in such manner as to avoid any actual or potential
 conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual's position of trust and responsibility; and

![](image_003.gif)

<sup>1</sup> Purchases or sales of ETFs are still subject to the Reporting Requirements described herein.

4 Code of Ethics December 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Access Persons must not take inappropriate advantage of their positions.

Access Persons with accounts managed by another manager with full discretion ("Discretionary Accounts" or "Managed Accounts") are not subject to these restrictions.

Restricted List

A Restricted List, if any will be comprised of securities to which Nightview holds material nonpublic insider information (MNPI) concerning the issuer. All Access Persons are restricted from transacting for personal accounts in any security placed on the Restricted List.

The Director of Research is responsible for updating the Restricted List and for informing the CCO, or his designee, of updates to the Restricted List. All Access Persons must notify the CCO, or his designee, immediately if they have any reason to believe they or anyone in the Firm possesses MNPI.

Note: If the Access Person already holds a security held by a Client, prior to it being added to the Restricted List, they will not be required to sell it, but will not be permitted to sell such security without pre-approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Pre-Clearance Requirements

Access Persons must obtain "pre-clearance" from the Compliance Department prior to executing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases of any securities issued as part of an IPO;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases of interests in a Limited Offering or private partnership (Note: Access Persons are not required
 to obtain pre-approval prior to limited offering capital calls, redemptions, distributions, dividends, or clawbacks); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Any other Reportable Security transactions, unless an exemption applies.

Pre-clearance requests to trade securities held by Nightview's Clients will undergo enhanced scrutiny in accordance with this Code. If pre-approval is granted, the pre-approved transaction must be executed within twenty-four hours. Such requests may currently be submitted to the CCO using electronic communication or another form designated by the CCO. However, the CCO, at his or her discretion, may establish alternate methods in the future. The CCO will submit his pre-clearance requests to Dan Crowley or Eric Markowitz.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3. Exemptions

Pre-clearance is <u>not required</u> for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases or sales of open-end funds, including ETFs, and the Reportable Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Transactions in securities which are not Reportable Securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases which are part of an Automatic Investment Plan or DRIP;

5 Code of Ethics December 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of
 its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person has no Direct or Indirect Influence
 or Control<sup>2</sup>, provided that, upon the initial reporting of such accounts, the Access Person complies
 with any additional certifications that the CCO, in his or her discretion, may require. If an Access Person is unsure as to whether an
 account is qualified for the exemption, he or she should consult with the CCO. In the event it is determined that the Access Person may
 have Direct or Indirect Influence or Control over investment decisions, the Access Person will be required to provide account statements
 as required with any reportable account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. REPORTING PROCEDURES

Upon becoming an Access Person, the CCO or other designee will provide the Access Person with the necessary reporting forms and information to complete.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Initial and Annual Holdings Reports

Each Access Person must submit to the CCO the following reports, on forms designated by the CCO: (i) ten (10) days after becoming an Access Person, reflecting the Access Person's holdings as of a date not more than 45 days prior to becoming an Access Person; and (ii) annually, on a date selected by the CCO, reflecting the Access Person's holdings as of a date not more than 45 days prior to the date the report was submitted ("holdings reports").

Holdings reports must contain the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The title and type of security and as applicable, the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, number of
 shares, and principal amount of each Reportable Security in which the Access Person has any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The name of any broker, dealer or bank with which the Access Person maintains an account in which any securities
 are held for the Access Person's direct or indirect benefit. (Note that even those accounts that hold only non-Reportable Securities
 must be included); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The date the Access Person submits the report.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Brokerage account statements containing all required information may be substituted for the Holdings Report
 Form if submitted timely.

To the extent that a brokerage statement or confirmation lacks some of the information otherwise required to be reported, an Access Person may submit a holdings report containing the missing information as a supplement to the statement or confirmation.

<sup>2</sup> Please see Section 5.5 for additional information regarding accounts over which an Access Person does not have Direct or Indirect Influence or Control

6 Code of Ethics December 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2. Quarterly Reports

Within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each Access Person must submit a report, as designated by the CCO, covering all transactions in Reportable Securities.

Transactions reports must contain the following information:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The date of the transaction, the title and, as applicable, the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number,
 interest rate and maturity date, number of shares, and principal amount of each Reportable Security involved;

· The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or disposition);

· The price of the security at which the transaction was affected;

· The name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through which the transaction was effected; and

· The date the Access Person submits the report.

For any account established during the quarter in which an Access Person has direct or indirect beneficial ownership, the Access Person must disclose on the transactions report the date the account was established and the bank/broker.

Brokerage account statements containing all required information may be substituted if timely submitted to the CCO, or a designated intermediary or program. To the extent that a brokerage statement or confirmation lacks some of the information otherwise required to be reported, you may submit a transactions report containing the missing information as a supplement to the statement or confirmation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.3. Duplicate Statements

Each Access Person, with respect to each brokerage account in which such Access Person has any direct or indirect beneficial interest, may choose to arrange that the broker shall submit directly to the CCO at the same time they are mailed or furnished to such Access Person duplicate copies of brokerage statements covering each transaction in a Reportable Security and holdings in such account. This requirement also may be waived by the CCO in situations when the CCO determines that duplicate copies are unnecessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.4. Exceptions to the Reporting Requirements

The reporting requirements above apply to all transactions in Reportable Securities other than:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Transactions affected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan or DRIP; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Transactions with respect to securities held in accounts over which the Access Person had no direct or
 indirect influence or control.

An Access Person will generally be deemed to have Direct or Indirect Influence or Control over any account in which he or she: (1) Directs the purchases and/or sales of investments; (2) Suggests purchases and/or sales of investments to the trustee or third-party discretionary manager; or (3) Consults with a trustee or third-party discretionary manager as to the allocation of investments to be made in the account and the manager acts upon such consultation.

7 Code of Ethics December 2025

Please note that granting a third-party discretionary investment authority over an account does not, by itself, exempt an account from the reporting requirements. Similarly, trusts over which an Access Person is the grantor or beneficiary may also be subject to the reporting requirements, regardless of whether a trustee has management authority. For such accounts, Nightview Capital will conduct additional due diligence to determine whether the Access Person may have any Direct or Indirect Influence or Control over the investment decisions of such accounts which may include:

· Evaluating the relationship between the Access Person and the person managing the account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Requesting completion of periodic certifications by the Access Person or third-party managers regarding
 the Access Person's influence over the account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Requesting periodic completion of holdings or transaction reports to identify transactions that would have
 been prohibited pursuant to this Code, absent reliance on the reporting exemption; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Periodically requesting statements for accounts managed by third-parties where there is no identified Direct
 or Indirect Influence or Control over the investment decisions in an account.

If an Access Person is unsure as to whether an account is qualified for the exemption, he or she should consult with the CCO. In the event it is determined that the Access Person may have Direct or Indirect Influence or Control over investment decisions, the Access Person will be required to provide account statements as required with any reportable account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. CODE NOTIFICATION AND ACCESS PERSON CERTIFICATIONS

**The CCO shall identify and provide notice to all Access Persons of their status under this Code, and shall deliver a copy of the Code to each Access Person initially upon commencement of employment and annually thereafter. Additionally, each Access Person will be provided a copy of any Code amendments. After reading the Code or amendment, each Access Person shall submit an electronic certification acknowledging that they have read, understood and agreed to comply with the Code.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. REVIEW OF REQUIRED CODE REPORTS

Reports required to be submitted pursuant to the Code will be reviewed by the CCO or a designee on a periodic basis.

Any material violation or potential material violation of the Code must be promptly reported to the CCO. The CCO will investigate any such violation or potential violation and report violations the CCO determines to be "material" to the Managing Member(s), as appropriate, with a recommendation of such action to be taken against any individual who is determined to have violated the Code, as is necessary and appropriate to cure the violation and prevent future violations. Other violations shall be handled by the CCO in a manner he deems to be appropriate. The CCO will keep a written record of all investigations in connection with any Code violations including any action taken because of the violation. In the event the CCO is involved in the violation, a Managing Member shall perform the duties that would otherwise be performed by the CCO.

Sanctions for violations of the Code may include verbal or written warnings and censures, monetary sanctions, disgorgement or dismissal. Where a Client has been harmed by the prohibited action, disgorgement may be paid directly to the Client. Where a Client has not been harmed, monetary sanctions may be paid to an appropriate charity determined by the CCO.

8 Code of Ethics December 2025

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. RECORDKEEPING AND REVIEW

The CCO, or other designee will ensure the following documents are retained: (1) this Code; (2) a record of all certifications of an Access Person's receipt of the Code or any amendments thereto; (3) any written prior approval for a Reportable Securities transaction given pursuant to this Code; (4) a copy of each report by an Access Person; (5) a record of any violation of the Code and any action taken as a result of the violation; (6) any written report hereunder by the CCO; (7) and lists of all persons required to make and/or review reports under the Code shall be preserved with the Adviser's records, for the periods and in the manner required by Advisers Act Rule 204-2 and Investment Company Act Rule 17j-1.

The CCO shall review this Code and its operation annually and may determine whether to make amendments to the Code as a result of that review. Material and non-material amendments to this Code should be made and distributed as described in Section 5.

 the past year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Describe any issues arising under this Code or procedures since the last report to the Fund's Chief
 Compliance Officer including, but not limited to, information about material violations of this Code or procedures and sanctions imposed

**<u>Introduction</u>**

Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), requires an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to establish, maintain and enforce a written code of ethics which meets the minimum requirements stated in the Rule. This Code of Ethics/Personal Trading Policy ("the Code") is intended to meet the requirements of the Advisers Act.

Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 also requires certain persons to be subject to a code of ethics. Rule 17j-1 makes it unlawful for any affiliated person of a regulated investment company or any affiliated person of its adviser or principal underwriter to engage in certain enumerated types of misconduct in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a security held or to be acquired by the regulated investment company. This Code of Ethics is intended to ensure that all acts, practices and courses of business engaged in by Employees (as defined below) of the Adviser reflect high standards and comply with the requirements of Section 17(j) of the Act and Rule 17j-1 thereunder.

This Code of Ethics (the "Code") is applicable to all Access Persons (as defined below) of the Firm with respect to such activities and conduct on behalf of Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC or ETC Platform Services, LLC.

Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the "Adviser") is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"). It serves as investment adviser to multiple series trusts ("the Trusts") as well as a subadviser to additional series.

ETC Platform Services, LLC ("ETCPS") is a service provider to the funds that provides non-advisory services.

Collectively, Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC and ETCPS shall be referred to as ("Exchange Traded Concepts", the "Firm" or "ETC")

Certain personnel are dual-hatted and work for both entities. All employees of ETC are considered Access Persons and must comply with all requirements in ETC's Code of Ethics.

The Code does not attempt to serve as a comprehensive outline regarding employee conduct, but rather to establish general rules of conduct and procedures applicable to all Access Persons.

The Code should be kept at hand for easy reference. Any questions regarding this Code, or other compliance issues, must be directed to the Chief Compliance Officer of ETC (the "CCO" defined below). The CCO is responsible for administering and implementing this Code. ETC expects Access Persons to be thoroughly familiar with the Firm's standards and procedures as set forth herein.

The CCO will determine disciplinary actions by taking into account such facts as deemed appropriate and relevant, including the severity of the violation, and whether the Access Person has previously violated this Code.

**<u>Annual Acknowledgement</u>**

This Code is an integral part of the Firm's compliance program. This Code may be revised and supplemented from time to time; it is the responsibility of the CCO to distribute the most current version to all Access Persons.

It is the responsibility of each Access Person to understand the contents of this Code and the policies set forth herein, and to adhere to all applicable policies and procedures. Compliance by Access Persons with the Federal Securities Laws; the terms and provisions of the Compliance Manual, including, without limitation, the Code of Ethics; and any other applicable laws, rules, and regulations is a condition of employment and continued employment with the Firm. Access Persons who have supervisory responsibility should ensure that the Employees they supervise are familiar with applicable Federal Securities Laws, the Compliance Manual, and all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

Each Access Person upon hire and annually thereafter is required to acknowledge his or her receipt and understanding of the Code and agreement to abide by its policies (the "Annual Acknowledgement"). Annual Acknowledgements will generally be distributed via and archived in the Firm's third-party compliance software.

**<u>PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS GENERALLY</u>**

All personal securities transactions are to be conducted in such a manner as to be consistent with the Code and to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an employee's position of trust and responsibility. Under the Advisers Act, the SEC has determined that an investment adviser's code of ethics must require Access Persons (as described above) to report their personal securities transactions and holdings and be subject to certain trading restrictions. Strict compliance with the provisions of the Code shall be considered a basic condition of employment with Exchange Traded Concepts.

For purposes of Exchange Traded Concepts' policy, employees of sub-advisers and service providers that have access to nonpublic information are not covered by this policy but are covered by their respective employer's policy.

**<u>CONFIDENTIALITY OF CLIENT AND FIRM INFORMATION AND THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) /LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL (LLM) SERVICES</u>**

Confidentiality of information pertaining to Exchange Traded Concepts and its clients is a fundamental principle of the investment management business of Exchange Traded Concepts. Access Persons must maintain the confidential relationship between Exchange Traded Concepts and each of its clients. The confidentiality of information such as the extent of the account relationship must be held inviolate by those to whom it is entrusted and must never be discussed outside the normal and necessary course of Exchange Traded Concepts' business. To the extent possible, all information concerning clients and their accounts (including funds advised or sub-advised by Exchange Traded Concepts and the investors therein) shall be shared among employees on a strictly need-to-know basis. Each Access Person shall be

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>6

subject to the privacy policies and procedures of Exchange Traded Concepts included in the Firm's compliance manual.

Supervised Persons should not share any confidential or proprietary information relating to the firm, its business, investment strategies, computer models, code, clients, strategies, or information relating any person or persons employed by the firm with or via online platforms, such as pasting information into Google or AI/LLM services such as Google's Bard or OpenAI's Chat GPT. By positing information into search engines, AI, LLM services and the like, Supervised Persons risk breaching client and commercial confidentiality and in so doing breaching the relevant policies maintained and adopted by the firm. Should any supervised person wish to post any information relating to the business or clients or employees of the firm into any such service, supervised persons must obtain the written permission from legal or compliance before positing any information.

**<u>GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT</u>**

Access Persons may not be compensated, directly or indirectly, except by the Firm. In light of the nature of the Firm's business, its fiduciary obligations to its investors and Clients as well as the regulatory environment in which the Firm conducts its business, the Firm is compelled to monitor the nature and quantity of the gifts, gratuities and other entertainment activities that its Access Persons give to or receive from a person or firm that conducts business with or provides services to the Firm, that may do business or is being solicited to do business with the Firm or that is associated with an organization that conducts or seeks to conduct business with the Firm. Such monitoring is not intended to prevent Access Persons from giving or receiving gifts, gratuities, and other entertainment activities but rather serves to ensure that the practice of giving or receiving gifts, gratuities and other entertainment activities is not abused or undertaken for improper purposes, and does not compromise the integrity, objectivity, or fiduciary responsibilities of the Firm or its Access Persons.

No gift, gratuity, or other entertainment activities should ever be accepted or given with any understanding that the donor will receive special or favorable treatment by the Firm or any Access Person.

Each Access Person may give or accept gifts from a business associate of up to $100 in value in aggregate per year without obtaining prior approval of the CCO. For gifts above $100 in aggregate per year, prior approval from the CCO must be received before accepting or giving the gift. The CCO may require the Access Person to return a gift if it is determined that the gift could improperly influence the use of a third-party business or create the appearance of a conflict of interest.

In situations where prior approval by CCO is not required, Access Persons must report to the CCO or a delegate thereof, in a timely manner after they have given or received a gift or entertainment (excluding basic, non-lavish, lunches during the business week multi-client events at conferences or gifts of promotional items). Access Persons must not give or receive any gift or entertainment, unless it is ordinary and reasonable in scope or cost. Gifts and Entertainment shall be tracked via the Firm's third-party compliance software system. To clarify, this policy does not prohibit an Access Person from giving or accepting an occasional meal, reception invitation, ticket to a sporting or theater event, or comparable entertainment, that is not so frequent, costly, or lavish as to raise any question of impropriety.

Furthermore, to ensure compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Access Persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly paying or giving, offering or promising to pay, give or authorize or approving such offer or payment, of any funds, gifts, services or anything else of any value, no matter how small, or seemingly insignificant, to any Covered Person(s) for any business or Firm-related reasons. A "Covered Person" for this purpose is any foreign official including, without limitation, any officer or employee of any foreign government or any governmental department, agency or instrumentality (e.g., a central bank) or any government-owned or controlled enterprise (e.g., sovereign wealth fund) or any person acting in an

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>7

official capacity for or on behalf of any such government, department, agency, instrumentality or enterprise. It also includes any foreign political party, party official or candidate for political office.

Access Persons are prohibited from soliciting the brokerage community for these items or other favors in any manner that could be construed as using their employment/association with the Firm to obtain a personal benefit. In no event should any Access Person allocate brokerage commissions or trades to a broker on the basis of personal gifts, entertainment or rewards provided to the Access Person, or a relative or friend of the Access Person.

Access Persons are prohibited from giving or receiving any gift of cash, gift certificate, or cash equivalents.

Gifts and entertainment among Employees are not subject to the guidelines set forth above. Access Persons may attend seminars sponsored or paid for by a business associate provided that attendance at the seminar is not so costly or so lavish as to raise conflict of interest issues and they have received prior written approval from the CCO.

Each Access Person is expected to use professional judgment in entertaining and being entertained by a business associate. Provided the Access Person and the business associate both attend, an Access Person may accept from or provide to, a business associate breakfast, lunch, dinner or reception, ticket to a sporting event or the theater, or comparable entertainment, provided that such entertainment is not so frequent, costly, lavish, or excessive as to raise any question of impropriety. If there is any question as to whether a specific entertainment event can be accepted or given, the CCO should be consulted.

See Exhibit B of the Compliance Manual for Exchange Traded Concepts' policy on gifts and entertainment.

**<u>OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER ACTIVITIES</u>**

Access Persons are not permitted to engage in any business activity or employment which interferes with their duties to Exchange Traded Concepts, divides their loyalty, creates an actual or apparent conflict of interest, or exposes the Access Person or Exchange Traded Concepts to possible criticism or adverse publicity. Access Persons must disclose all outside employment to Exchange Traded Concepts' senior management ("Senior Management") and the CCO. Access Persons must obtain prior approval from the CCO for all outside employment, business activities, managing directorships, or fiduciary appointments.

Exchange Traded Concepts encourages employees to participate in worthwhile civic, social, educational, professional and charitable organizations and activities. No activity, however, should interfere with their regular employment duties, unreasonably encroach upon working time, or necessitate such long hours as to impair working effectiveness of the employee.

Exchange Traded Concepts defines a publicly traded company as any organization or entity which makes available to the public for purchase either through an exchange or other instrumentality a stake or share in the organization or entity. Access Persons who wish to serve on the board of directors of a publicly traded company must supply a description, in writing, of the publicly traded company and the reasons why they are attempting to act in this role. Written pre-approval must be obtained from the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") and Exchange Traded Concepts' Senior Management in order for an Access Person to serve on the board of directors of a publicly traded company. Senior Management, in consultation with the CCO, will review/consider many factors in making the decision to grant approval or disapproval, including, but not limited to, whether the company is one which Exchange Traded Concepts Trusts (the "Trusts") would own in one of their Funds. Senior Management's decision, either for or against, will be provided to the Access Person in writing and a copy will be retained according to the Firm's Recordkeeping Policies and Procedures.

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>8

If approval is granted by Senior Management, the Access Person has an ongoing obligation to notify Senior Management and the CCO of any potential conflicts of interest which may arise during the course of participating as a member of the board of directors of a public company. If there is any question whether a conflict of interest exists or may exist, Senior Management and CCO shall be notified.

Under no circumstance may an ETC Access Person be a member of a Board that is held as an investment in any of ETC's Trusts.

Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

**<u>Conflicts of Interest</u>**

It is the policy of the Firm that all Access Persons conduct the business affairs of the Firm in accordance with the highest principles of business ethics and in such manner that no conflict of interest, actual or potential, can be construed. All Access Persons should promptly report to the CCO any situation or circumstance which may give rise to a conflict of interest.

It is a violation of this Code for any Access Person, without the prior written consent of the CCO, to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Rebate or pay any part of the compensation received from the Firm as an Employee to, directly or indirectly, any person, firm, or corporation that does business with or on behalf of the Firm;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Accept, directly or indirectly from any person, corporation, or association, other than the Firm, compensation of any nature as a bonus, commission, fee, gratuity, or other consideration in connection with any transaction on behalf of the Firm, or a Client Account;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Accept, directly or indirectly, from any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm, any gift or other item of more than *de minimis* value provided, however, that Access Persons may accept gifts in accordance with the Firm's policies related to gifts and entertainment as set forth in this Code;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Participate in entertainment with Clients, brokers and other counterparties unless reasonably related to legitimate business purposes of the Firm as described in more detail under the gifts and entertainment policy in this Code; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Own any Security or have, directly or indirectly, any financial interest in any other organization engaged in any securities, financial or financial related business, except for (i) ownership, or other interests in the Firm, and (ii) stock ownership, or other financial interest of a class of stock, or other classification of interests in accordance with the Firm's policies related to personal trading as set forth in this Code.

In addition, Access Persons may not influence, directly or indirectly, investment decisions on behalf of the Firm's Clients, or the allocation of Client brokerage for the benefit (in any form) of any immediate family member of the Access Person.

**<u>POLITICAL ACTIVITIES AND CONTRIBUTIONS</u>**

Exchange Traded Concepts encourages Access Persons to be informed about and participate in the political process and political activities, provided such participation does not unduly interfere with their duties or embarrass or discredit Exchange Traded Concepts. Exchange Traded Concepts further encourages all Access Persons to vote in elections and, if they so choose, to make voluntary contributions of time and/or money to political and governmental activities. Access Persons are required to comply with all provisions of Exchange Traded Concepts' Political Contributions (Pay-to-Play) Policy, which has

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>9

been designed to ensure compliance with Rule 206(4)-5 of the Advisers Act. Access Persons must, however, engage in such activities as individuals rather than as representatives of Exchange Traded Concepts. Access Persons must further avoid any appearance of corporate sponsorship or endorsement in connection with any election. Access Persons must not use the corporate name in connection with any political fund-raising activity or in any printed material for use in political fund-raising activity, except where permitted by law. Access Persons must obtain approval from the CCO before becoming a candidate for public office, accepting any nomination or appointment to a public office or agreeing to serve as an official (such as a campaign manager, chairman or treasurer) in a political campaign.

Corporate disbursements of money, property or services to any government official, political party or candidate, either domestic or foreign, are strictly prohibited, even in those jurisdictions where such contributions are legally permissible. No offer, promise of payment or payment shall be made to any person, corporate entity, official of any government or government agency, in the United States or abroad, either directly or indirectly, to win preferential treatment in securing business or obtaining special concessions in Exchange Traded Concepts' interest. It should be emphasized that a corporate payment need not be illegal to be prohibited. Payments are broadly defined to include property or services.

Access Persons are required to provide the CCO with advance notice of planned solicitation activities for any political candidate or official by a spouse or other household member. The Firm reserves the right to object to these activities if the planned solicitation would be inconsistent with this policy.

Access Persons who wish to serve in public office must supply a description, in writing, of the particular public office and the reasons why they are attempting to serve in this role. This material should be submitted to Senior Management and the CCO for review and consideration. Written pre-approval must be obtained from Senior Management in order for an employee to seek or serve in public office. Senior Management, in consultation with the CCO, will review/consider many factors in making the decision to grant approval or disapproval, including, but not limited to, whether serving in such capacity will give the Access Person access to non-public information concerning stocks that are currently or could potentially be considered for inclusion in Exchange Traded Concepts client portfolios. Senior Management's decision will be provided to the Access Person in writing and a copy will be retained according to the Firm's Books and Records Policies and Procedures. If approval is granted by Senior Management, the Access Person has an ongoing obligation to notify Senior Management and the CCO of any potential conflicts of interest which may arise during the course of his or her service in public office. If there is any question whether a conflict of interest exists or may exist, Senior Management and the CCO shall be notified.

Contributions to a charity are not considered "political contributions" unless made to, through, in the name of, or to a fund controlled by a U.S. political candidate or official. This policy is not intended to impede legitimate, charitable fund-raising activities. Any questions regarding whether an organization is a charity, should be directed to the CCO.

Violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

**<u>RECORDS</u>**

The following records will be kept pertaining to this Code:

A copy of each Code that has been in effect at any time during the past five years will be kept in a readily accessible place by the CCO.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A record of any violations of the Code and any action taken as a result of such violation for five years from the end of the fiscal
year in which the violation occurred.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A record of all written acknowledgements of receipt of the Code and any amendments
thereto for each person who is currently, or was within the past five years, a supervised person (five years from the date employment
is terminated).

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>10

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Holdings and statements/transaction reports made pursuant to the Code must be maintained for at least five years after the end of
the fiscal year in which the report was made (the first two years in an easily accessible place).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A list of names of persons who are currently, or within the past five years were access persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A record of any decision and supporting reasons for approving the acquisition of securities by access persons in limited offerings
for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval was granted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A record of the individual(s) responsible for reviewing Access Persons' reports currently and
during the past five years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A copy of reports provided to the board of trustees regarding the Code for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in
which it was made, the first two years in an easily accessible place.

All Access Persons are required to report any violations of the Code and potential conflicts of interest promptly to the CCO (if the CCO is unavailable or a party to the violation the violation should be reported to Senior Management). Such reports will be treated confidentially to the extent permitted by law and investigated promptly and appropriately. If an Access Person is unsure if a violation occurred but in good faith believes one might have occurred, they are to present all information to the CCO or Senior Management in the manner stated above. Retaliation by an Access Person against an individual who reports a violation is prohibited and constitutes a further violation of the Code. This duty encompasses a requirement that all employees promptly self-report violations of the Code.

**<u>PERSONAL TRADING</u>**

All Covered Accounts must be disclosed via the Firm's compliance software. Generally, security transactions in Covered Securities require written pre-clearance. With the exception of certain circumstances enumerated below, if an Access Person wishes to purchase or sell a position in any Covered Security, he/she must obtain written pre-clearance from the CCO or his/her delegate. Submission of a pre-clearance request as well as approval or denial shall be handled via the Firm's third-party compliance software. Prior to approving a request, the CCO shall review the requested security against the securities in any pro forma rebalance the Firm is currently in possession of, at the time of the request, as well as any trade files for actively managed funds and daily trade sheets for any private funds managed by ETC's Portfolio Management Desk in the Firm's possession. Absent extenuating circumstances, trade pre-clearance will not be approved if the security in question is included in a pro forma rebalance, trade file for an active fund or a private fund daily trade sheet which the Firm is currently in possession of at the time the request is made. Exceptions may be made with regards to personal transactions in SPDR S&P 500 ETF ("SPY") and Invesco QQQ Trust ("QQQ") as well as derivatives on these two broad-based ETFs, certain mega-cap stocks, generally understood to be over $200B in market cap (including derivatives on these issuers) and ETFs, that are traded daily in certain ETC advised or subadvised funds, subject to the discretion of the Firm's CCO or General Counsel. In the instance of extenuating circumstances, any deviation from the Personal Trading Policy must be approved by the CCO or General Counsel. The trade request must include an explanation of the extenuating circumstances to be considered by the CCO or General Counsel and Senior Management. For the personal trading of the CCO, the CCO must obtain written pre-clearance from Exchange Traded Concepts' Chief Executive Officer or member of Legal.

Transactions in Discretionary Managed Accounts, transactions effected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan (i.e. dividend reinvestment plan and micro investing through apps), transactions in open-ended mutual funds, futures, and Forex trading, as well as acquisitions of securities through stock dividends, stock splits and other similar corporate reorganizations are all excluded from the Firm's pre-clearance requirements.

Advance written approval is valid only for the day on which approval was granted. If a trade has not been executed on the day the approval was granted, subsequent approvals are necessary prior to trading. Preclearance requests will be retained in the Firm's third-party compliance software. The CCO or his/her

10900 Hefner Pointe Drive, Suite 400 Oklahoma City, OK 73120 (405) 778-8377 <br>11

delegate will periodically reconcile pre-clearance reports with the duplicate trading confirmations received electronically in the Firm's third-party compliance software, to ensure compliance with the policy.

Access Persons may not purchase or hold Initial Public Offerings (IPO's).

Limited Offerings require written pre-clearance. Transactions in Covered Securities in retirement accounts including, but not limited to IRA's, that are self-directed (i.e. stocks or bonds, not mutual funds), ESOP's (Employee Stock Option Plans) and ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Plans) require pre-clearance.

All ETC Access Persons are prohibited from trading, encouraging others to trade, either personally or on behalf of others, while in possession of material, non-public information. All ETC Access Persons are also prohibited from communicating material non-public information to others in violation of the law. For additional information see Exchange Traded Concepts' Policy on the Prevention of Insider Trading included in Exhibit A of the Compliance Manual.

<u>Short Term Trading:</u> 

ETC discourages short term trading by Access Persons. Excessive short-term trading can lead to the suspension of personal trading privileges as determined by the CCO and Senior Management.

which the transaction was effected and the date the report is submitted. Also in this report Access Persons are to disclose any brokerage
account opened during the calendar quarter. Access Persons are required to
list the name of the broker, dealer or bank with whom the access person established the account, the date the account was established
and the date the report is submitted. Quarterly Transactions Reports will be filed through the Firm's third-party compliance software.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Duplicate brokerage/mutual fund statements/confirms</u> – Access Persons must have duplicate statements and confirms sent
to the attention of Exchange Traded Concepts' CCO. When possible, and in most cases, this shall be accomplished via a direct electronic

to ensure all policies are being followed. Senior Management or Legal will review the statements and confirms of the CCO. Brokerage, mutual
funds advised or sub-advised by Exchange Traded Concepts, IRA's, Rollover IRA's (which are self-directed), ESOP's, private placements,
and limited partnerships must all be reported and duplicate statements must be forwarded. Violations detected during the review will be
documented and reviewed by the CCO. The CCO will determine appropriate steps depending on the violation, up to and including termination
of employee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Annual Certification</u> - All Access Persons are required to certify annually to the CCO that: (i) they have read and understand
the Code; (ii) they have complied with all requirements of the Code; and (iii) they have reported all transactions required to be reported
under the Code. Annual Certification shall be accomplished through the Firm's third-party compliance software.

Access Persons of Exchange Traded Concepts must abide by the established internal policies and procedures. Compliance with the quarterly/annual Trading Disclosures and Holdings Reporting is a requirement of your employment at Exchange Traded Concepts. It is each Access Person's responsibility to provide the required information within 30 days of the end of each quarter.

All transaction and holdings reports submitted to the CCO will be maintained in the strictest confidence, except to the extent necessary to implement and enforce provisions of the Code or to comply with requests for information from government agencies of proper authority or pursuant to litigation.

The Chief Compliance Officer or compliance designee will review required reports to determine whether a violation of this Code may have occurred. If a violation is found to have occurred, the Chief Compliance Officer and Senior Management will impose, after consultation with outside counsel (as appropriate), corrective action as they deem appropriate under the circumstances.
