The Roundhill Meme Stock ETF offers targeted exposure to the retail-driven meme trade. What started with GameStop's historic short squeeze and AMC's headline-grabbing rallies has grown into a lasting feature of the market, whereby retail investors can collectively move public companies by billions in market value. Most recently, we've seen OpenDoor become the latest reminder of how quickly retail enthusiasm can fuel extreme volatility in stock prices.
MEME can be a potential tool for investors and traders alike, whether as a momentum-driven trade for those seeking to ride retail enthusiasm, or as a hedge against a short book given the unpredictable surges these names can experience.
"Meme stocks started as a rebellion but have grown into a revolution," said Dave Mazza, CEO of Roundhill Investments. "From GameStop to AMC and beyond, retail investors have proven that they are here to stay as a permanent force in the market. With MEME, we offer investors a tool to capture that power through an actively managed ETF that can rotate quickly into the stocks dominating the conversation today."

Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.
Meme Stock Risk. Meme Stocks are characterized by high trading volumes and significant price volatility, often driven by social media trends and investor interest. More traditional investing principles emphasize the intrinsic value of a company's underlying business such as its cash flows, competitive position, and long-term growth prospects, when determining whether to buy or sell a particular security. In contrast, Meme Stocks often trade untethered from such fundamentals, driven instead by speculative fervor and viral momentum. While the Fund seeks to capitalize on the trading momentum associated with Meme Stocks, there is a risk that such stocks may experience rapid and unpredictable price movements that could abate or reverse quickly. Because a stock only becomes eligible for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio after it has experienced a significant amount of liquidity and volatility, it is possible that by the time the Fund purchases shares of a Meme Stock it will have missed out on the initial gains, but will nevertheless experience any subsequent decline in value. Additionally, the identification of Meme Stocks is inherently subjective and may vary . As a result, stocks that are widely recognized as Meme Stocks may not be selected for inclusion in the Fund's portfolio. Conversely, stocks included in the Fund may not be perceived as Meme Stocks by the broader market. Investors should be aware that investing in Meme Stocks involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The volatile nature of these investments may lead to significant fluctuations in the Fund's net asset value and could result in potential loss.
Active Management Risk. The Fund is actively-managed and its performance reflects investment decisions that the Adviser and/or Sub-Adviser makes for the Fund. Such judgments about the Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect. If the investments selected and the strategies employed by the Fund fail to produce the intended results, the Fund could underperform as compared to other funds with similar investment objectives and/or strategies, or could have negative returns.
Non-Diversification Risk. As a "non-diversified" fund, the Fund may hold a smaller number of portfolio securities than many other funds. To the extent the Fund invests in a relatively small number of issuers, a decline in the market value of a particular security held by the Fund may affect its value more than if it invested in a larger number of issuers. The value of the Fund Shares may be more volatile than the values of shares of more diversified funds.
Volatility Risk. Volatility is the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate significantly in price within a short time period. The Fund will invest in securities that exhibit more volatility than the market as a whole. Such exposures could cause the Fund's net asset value to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized investment company with a limited operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record or history on which to base their investment decision.
Roundhill Financial Inc. serves as the investment advisor. The Funds are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC which is not affiliated with Roundhill Financial Inc.,
