The fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the company and may be obtained by calling +1-888-BNDD-007. Please read it carefully before investing.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

The Fund’s derivatives investments involve risks. When the Fund purchases an option, the Fund pays a cost (premium) to purchase the option. The Fund’s investments in options will be traded in the over-the counter (“OTC”) market. OTC derivative instruments generally have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller. These instruments would generally be subject to greater counterparty risk. Many of the protections afforded to exchange participants will not be available for OTC options and there is no daily price fluctuation limits. OTC instruments also may be subject to greater liquidity risk. Under the Fund’s option contracts, the Fund pays upfront for the option contracts (i.e., the premium), and counterparties are not required to post variation margin. There is no potential additional cash outflow or future liability for the Fund under the options; the Fund’s only potential loss on such options is the premium paid in advance. However, the Fund’s options contracts are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk of non-performance by an options counterparty. Such non-performance could result in a material loss to the Fund. The Fund is also subject to custodial risk as a result of (1) holding cash at the Fund’s custodian because such cash deposits are unsecured liabilities of the custodian and (2) the custodian, at times, sweeping excess cash to other banks, which would be unsecured liabilities of those other banks.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer term debt securities. The Fund seeks to mitigate the risk associated with the potential impact of a flattening or inverting of the forward U.S. interest rate curve (“curve risk”) by providing options exposure to the compression of the OTC interest rate term premia, deflation and deflationary expectations, on the performance of U.S. government bonds.

The Fund does not seek to mitigate credit risk, non-curve interest rate risk, or other factors influencing the price of U.S. government bonds, which factors may have a greater impact on the bonds’ returns than the U.S. interest rate curve or deflation. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investments will eliminate or mitigate curve risk, deflation risk on long positions in U.S. government bonds.

In addition, when the forward U.S. interest rate curve steepens, the Fund’s investments will generally underperform a portfolio comprised solely of the U.S. government bonds. In a steepening curve environment, the Fund’s hedging strategy could result in disproportionately larger losses in the Fund’s options as compared to gains or losses in its U.S. government bond positions attributable to interest rate changes. There is no guarantee that the Fund will have positive returns, even in environments of sharply declining inflation rates. The Fund’s exposure to derivatives tied to interest rates subjects the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, such as stocks and bonds. Investing in derivatives tied to interest rates, including through options tied to the shape of the U.S. interest rate curve, is speculative and can be extremely volatile. The Fund is non-diversified.

There are risks involved with investing in options including total loss of principal. Options investing is not suitable for all investors. This fund utilizes sophisticated options strategies which may not be suitable for all investors.
