Important Information:
Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal.
An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus containing this and other information, please call 1-833-955-KURV (5878). Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Fund Objective: The Fund seeks to provide monthly income.
An investment in the Fund entails risk, including the loss of principal. The Fund is not a complete investment program, and investors should review the risks associated with the Fund before investing. The Fund is an actively managed portfolio, and the portfolio managers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not produce the desired result. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective.
As an ETF, the Fund is exposed to the additional risks, including: (1) concentration risk associated with Authorized Participants, market makers, and liquidity providers. Such concentration could negatively impact liquidity; (2) costs and risks associated with frequent trading; (3) market prices may differ from the Fund’s net asset value; and (4) liquidity risk due to a potential lack of trading volume.
Fund Risks: The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund’s investment adviser seeks to fulfill the Fund’s investment objective by using two income strategies: (1) an interest income strategy and (2) an income-generating option strategy on fixed income instruments.
(1) Interest income strategy: The Fund will be investing in a diversified portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments and Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) of varying maturities, which may be represented by forwards. “Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities, and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities. The average portfolio duration of this Fund will vary based on Kurv’s market forecasts and will normally not exceed two year. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of the Fund is normally not expected to exceed three years.
(2) Option income strategy: To generate additional income, the Fund employs an exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) option writing strategy on fixed income instruments.
These fixed income instruments may include instruments such as exchange-traded funds, futures contracts, or interest rate swaps, linked to the short-term rates like the federal funds rate (the target interest rate range at which commercial banks borrow and lend their excess reserves to each other overnight, as set by the Federal Open Market Committee) or linked to short-term government securities like U.S. Treasury securities.
Risks of Investing in ETFs: Investments in the securities of other investment companies, including ETFs, may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another ETF, the Fund becomes a shareholder thereof. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the ETF, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders indirectly bear in connection with the Fund’s
own operations.
Futures Contract Risk: A futures contract is a legal agreement to buy or sell a particular commodity, asset, or security at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future. While the value of a futures contract tends to correlate with the value of the underlying asset that it represents, differences between the futures market and the market for the underlying asset may result in an imperfect correlation. Futures contracts may involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. The purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract.
Swaptions Risk: A swaptions is an options contract on a swap agreement. These transactions give a party the right (but not the obligation) to enter into new swap agreements or to shorten, extend, cancel or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement at some designated future time on specified terms, in return for payment of the purchase price (the “premium”) of the option. The Fund may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions to the same extent it may make use of standard options on securities or other instruments. The writer of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the market value on the underlying swap agreement. Swaptions can be bundled and sold as a package. These are commonly called interest rate caps, floors and collars.
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: the risks of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. The Fund may invest in any tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with the other of the Fund's guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the foregoing risks.
Collateralized Loan Obligations Risk: the risk that investing in collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and other similarly structured investments exposes the Fund to heightened credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market risk and prepayment and extension risk, as well as the risk of default on the underlying asset. In addition, investments in CLOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments; (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default; (iii) risks related to the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets; (iv) the risk that the Fund may invest in tranches of CLOs that are subordinate to other tranches; (v) the structure and complexity of the transaction and the legal documents may not be fully understood at the time of investment and could lead to disputes with the issuer or among investors regarding the characterization of proceeds or unexpected investment results; and (vi) the CLO’s manager may perform poorly.
Leveraging Risk: The Fund may engage in certain transactions, such as options, that may give rise to leverage, magnifying gains and losses and causing the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. This means that leverage entails a heightened risk of loss.
Non-Diversification Risk: The Fund is “non diversified,” so it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.
Options and Derivatives Risk: The Fund’s use of derivatives, including options, may pose risks in addition to those associated with directly investing in securities. These risks include market risk, imperfect correlation with the underlying issuer, volatility risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, and legal or regulatory constraints. The value of options may be highly sensitive to changes in volatility, time decay, interest rates, and market events.
New Fund Risk: The Fund is a new fund, with limited operating history.
30-Day Median Bid Ask Spread represents the typical trading cost of buying and selling a security, calculated by averaging its bid-ask spreads over the last 30 days.
Distribution Rate is the annual yield an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option premium, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by 365 divided by the days in the most current month, and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed.
30-day SEC Yield is based on a formula mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that calculates a fund's hypothetical annualized income, as a percentage of its assets. A security's income, for the purposes of this calculation, is based on the current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or projected dividend yield (for stocks) of the fund's holdings over a trailing 30-day period. This hypothetical income will differ (at times, significantly) from the fund's actual experience; as a result, income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.
Unsubsidized 30-Day SEC Yield represents what a fund's 30-Day SEC Yield would have been had no fee waiver or expense reimbursement been in place over the period.
The Distribution Rate and 30-day SEC Yield is not indicative of future distributions, if any, on the ETFs. In particular, future distributions on any ETF may differ significantly from its Distribution Rate or 30-Day SEC Yield. You are not guaranteed a distribution under the ETFs. Distributions for the ETFs (if any) are variable and may vary significantly from month to month and may be zero. Accordingly, the Distribution Rate and 30-Day SEC Yield will change over time, and such change may be significant. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gain, and return of investor capital, which may decrease a fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment. These distribution rates caused by unusually favorable market conditions may not be sustainable. Such conditions may not continue to exist and there should be no expectation that this performance may be repeated in the future.
Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Market returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Ordinary brokerage commissions may apply and will reduce returns.
