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 +1-833-IVOL-ETF. 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.

Beginning 12/23/2020, 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. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

The Fund’s derivatives investments involve risks. The derivatives used by the Fund may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss. The prices of options can be highly volatile and the use of options can lower total returns. OTC options generally have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller. As a result, such instruments generally are subject to greater credit risk and counterparty risk. OTC instruments also may be subject to greater liquidity risk. 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 steepening swap curve (“curve risk”) on the performance of U.S. government bonds by investing in products designed to appreciate in value when the swap curve steepens. The Fund’s use of such instruments is intended to mitigate the curve risk and is not intended to mitigate credit risk, or non-curve interest rate risk. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investments will completely eliminate the curve or inflation risk of the long positions in U.S. government bonds. In addition, when the swap curve flattens, the Fund’s investments will generally underperform a portfolio comprised solely of the U.S. government bonds. In a flattening 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 the U.S. government bond positions attributable to interest rate changes. 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 swap 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.
