Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

All funds are managed differently and do not react the same to economic or market events. The investment objectives, strategies, policies or restrictions of other funds may differ and more information can be found in their respective prospectuses. Therefore, we generally do not believe it is possible to make direct fund to fund comparisons in an effort to highlight the benefits of a fund versus another similarly managed fund.

*The Fund currently expects, but does not guarantee, to make distributions on a monthly basis. These distributions may exceed the Fund's income and gains for the Fund's taxable year. Distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Distributions 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. Please see the Supplemental Tax Information section of the website for more information on the distribution composition including the estimated return of capital. Per the Fund's most recent 19a-1 notice, the estimated per share composition of the distribution includes return of capital (ROC) of 93%. A final determination of the tax character of distributions paid by the Funds will not be known until the completion of the Fund's fiscal year and there can be no assurance as to the portions of each Fund's distributions that will constitute return of capital and/or dividend income. The final determination of the tax character of distributions paid by the Funds will be reported to shareholders on their Form 1099-DIV.

Fund Objective: The Fund seeks maximum total return, consistent with prudent investment management.

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 may invest in silver and silver bullion-related Exchange traded Funds ("ETFs"), Exchange Traded Products ("ETPs"), and derivatives. The price of silver may be volatile and silver bullion-related ETFs, ETPs, and derivatives may be highly sensitive to the price of silver. The price of silver bullion can be significantly affected by international monetary and political developments such as currency devaluation or revaluation, central bank movements, economic and social conditions within a country, transactional or trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between countries. Physical silver bullion has sales commission, storage, insurance and auditing expenses.

Exchange Traded Product (ETP) Risk: The Fund invests in physical silver-related ETPs. Through its positions in physical silver-related ETPs, the Fund generally will be subject to the risks associated with such vehicle’s investments, including the possibility that the value of the securities or instruments held by or linked to a physical silver-related ETP could decrease. Many of the physical silver-related ETPs in which the Fund invests may not be registered, nor required to be registered, as investment companies subject to the 1940 Act and, therefore, would not be subject to the regulatory scheme of the 1940 Act.

Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) and Commodity Pools: Investments in the securities of other investment companies, including ETFs and commodity pools, may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company or commodity pool, the Funds become a shareholder thereof. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly bear a Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment companies or commodity pools, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders indirectly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. If the other investment companies or commodity pools fail to achieve their investment objective, the value of a Fund’s investment will decline, adversely affecting the Fund’s performance. In addition, closed-end investment company and ETF shares may potentially trade at a discount or a premium to NAV and are subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a Fund. Finally, because the value of other investment companies or ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Funds may not be able to liquidate a Fund’s holdings in those shares at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.

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.Liquidity:

Liquidity: Because these Funds are ETFs, 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 occur, shares of the Fund may trade at a material discount to their net asset value (“NAV”) per share 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.Guarantees or Insurance:

Guarantees or Insurance: An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.New Fund Risk:

New Fund Risk: The Fund is a new fund, with limited operating history.

Distributor: Foreside Fund Services, LLC. Foreside Fund Services, LLC and Kurv Investment Management LLC are unaffiliated.

Volatility is a statistical measurement of the degree of variability of the return of a security or market index. "Return divided by volatility" is a widely used metric for calculating risk-adjusted return to compare return for volatility risk taken.

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.
