7 terms

options overlay financial

"with an actively managed options overlay designed to generate income"

An options overlay is a set of option contracts added on top of an existing stock or portfolio to change its risk and return profile without buying or selling the underlying holdings. Like putting a removable roof or awnings on a house, it can generate extra income, limit potential losses, or let you pursue upside with less capital, so investors use it to tailor protection and returns while keeping core positions intact.

return of capital financial

"The distribution contains an estimated return of capital of 100%."

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

ex date financial

"Ex Date & Record Date: 01/29/26"

The ex date is the cut-off day when a buyer of a security no longer becomes entitled to a declared dividend, right, or other distribution; if you own the stock before that date you receive the payment, if you buy on or after it you do not. Investors care because share prices often adjust on the ex date to reflect the payout, so owning the stock through that specific day determines whether you get the cash or entitlement — like showing up before a store closes to use a coupon.

record date financial

"Ex Date & Record Date: 01/29/26"

The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.

pay date financial

"Pay Date: 01/30/26"

The pay date is the day a company actually sends a dividend or distribution payment to shareholders’ accounts or mailboxes. It matters to investors because it’s when they receive cash from an investment—similar to a paycheck deposit—and can affect short-term cash flow, tax timing, and the market’s short-term price adjustments around dividend events.

seasonality technical

"Shorter-term themes include style tilt, seasonality, and PMI recovery."

Seasonality is the predictable pattern of stronger or weaker business activity that repeats at similar times each year — like stores selling more during holidays or utilities using more power in winter. Investors care because these regular ups and downs affect revenue, cash flow and profit timing; recognizing seasonality helps set realistic expectations, compare results fairly and choose when to buy, sell or value a company.

pmi financial

"Shorter-term themes include style tilt, seasonality, and PMI recovery."

PMI stands for Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey-based measure of activity in a specific sector (usually manufacturing or services) that summarizes whether business conditions are expanding or contracting. Think of it as a quick temperature check of company activity—readings above 50 mean expansion, below 50 mean contraction—which investors use to gauge economic health, anticipate earnings trends, and adjust risk exposure before full government data arrive.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. Shares are not individually redeemable from the Fund and may only be acquired or redeemed from the fund in creation units. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

BEFORE INVESTING, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES, AND EXPENSES. THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION IS CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTUS, WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED AT GRANNYSHOTS.COM/FUND-DOCUMENTS/ OR BY CALLING (212) 293-7132. PLEASE READ THE PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING.

Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

The principal risks of investing in the Fund are summarized below. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return, and/or ability to meet its investment objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the section in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Information About the Fund — Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund."

Distribution Risk. The Fund intends to distribute income on a monthly basis. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution in any given month. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next.

NAV Decline Risk Due to Distributions. When the Fund makes a distribution, the Fund's NAV will typically drop by the amount of the distribution on the related ex-dividend date. The repeated payment of distributions by the Fund, if any, may result in a decline in the Fund's NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer losses to their investment.

Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers.

Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Fund's portfolio is heavily dependent on investment models developed by the Sub-Adviser as well as information and data supplied by third parties ("Models and Data"). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to the inclusion or exclusion of securities from the Fund's portfolio that would have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and complete.

Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors of the Fund's service providers, counter parties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third-parties for a range of services, including custody.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.
