Principal Investment Strategies:
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a wide variety of high-quality, short-term U.S. dollar-denominated money market instruments. The Fund seeks to invest in securities that present only minimal credit risk. The Fund's Board of Trustees has delegated initial and ongoing determination that an issuer's securities present only minimal credit risk to the adviser. The adviser assesses an issuer's ability to meet its financial obligations by considering several factors, which include, when relevant, consideration of an issuer's (i) financial condition, (ii) sources of liquidity, (iii) ability to react to market-wide and issuer-specific events, and (iv) strength within the economy and competitive position within its industry. These minimal credit risk investments are issued by U.S. and foreign banks and corporations, special purpose vehicles that issue asset-backed securities or mortgage-backed securities, the U.S. government, and foreign governments. These instruments may have fixed or floating interest rates and may take the form of commercial paper, short-term notes, bank deposits, loans, bills, participation certificates, or other forms of indebtedness (i.e. those that are substantially similar to the preceding but have a different naming convention). The Fund also invests in fully collateralized repurchase agreements.
2
The Fund operates as a "money market fund" pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is subject to related restrictions on its portfolio composition. Consequently, the Fund invests in securities maturing in 397 days or less and maintains a portfolio dollar-weighted average maturity of 60 days or less and a dollar-weighted average life of 120 days or less. Furthermore, the Fund will hold securities that are sufficiently liquid to meet reasonably foreseeable shareholder redemptions and maintain at least 25% of its total assets in "daily" liquid assets and at least 50% of its total assets in "weekly" liquid assets.
U.S. Government securities are obligations issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Certain obligations that are issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities (also referred to as government sponsored enterprises or "GSEs", which have been created under Congressional charter) are not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. For example, debt issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are issued by special purpose vehicles that issue asset-backed securities or mortgage-backed securities. These are backed by a pool of assets, usually loans such as mortgages, instalment sale contracts, credit card receivables or other assets. The Fund may also invest in certain mortgage-related securities, such as bonds that are backed by cash flows from pools of mortgages that may have multiple classes with different payment rights and protections ("collateralized mortgage obligations" or "CMOs") issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities or issued by private companies. The Fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in fully collateralized repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are transactions in which the Fund purchases securities and simultaneously commits to resell them to the same counterparty at a future time and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. The Fund accepts only U.S. Government securities, certificates of deposit, mortgage related securities (those secured by a first lien), bankers' acceptances, foreign government securities that are a direct obligation of, or that are fully guaranteed by, the central government of a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) as repurchase agreement eligible securities. The Fund expects to focus initially in overnight repurchase agreements; however, in the future, the Fund may invest in repurchase agreements with longer maturities. Income from repurchase agreements using U.S. Government securities may not be exempt from state and local income taxation. Repurchase agreements often offer a higher yield than investments directly in government securities.
The maturity of certain variable and floating rate instruments is measured by reference to the next interest rate reset date rather than the absolute maturity of the instrument. The Fund may transact in securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis.
Although the Fund will seek to continue to qualify as a "money market fund," it will not seek to maintain a stable net asset value ("NAV") per share using the amortized cost or penny rounding method of valuation. Instead, the Fund will calculate its NAV per share based on the market value of its investments. In addition, unlike a traditional money market fund, the Fund operates as an exchange traded fund ("ETF"). As an ETF, the Fund's shares will be traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange") and will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV per share as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the Exchange.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares. The Fund generally must impose a fee when net sales of Fund shares exceed certain levels. An investment in the Fund is not a bank account and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund's sponsor is not required to reimburse the Fund for losses, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time, including during periods of market stress.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund.
The Fund is an actively managed ETF that does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
Mandatory Liquidity Fees
Rule 2a-7 requires the Fund to impose a mandatory liquidity fee if the Fund experiences total daily net redemptions (based on flow information available within a reasonable period after the last computation of the Fund's net asset value on that day) exceeding 5% of net assets, unless the amount of the mandatory liquidity fee would be de minimis. The size of the mandatory liquidity fee to be charged will be based on a good faith estimate, supported by data, of the costs the Fund would incur if it sold a pro rata amount of each security in its portfolio to satisfy the amount of the net redemptions. If these costs cannot be determined in good faith, a 1% default fee will be applied. If the amount of the mandatory liquidity fee would be de minimis (i.e., less than 0.01% of the value of the shares redeemed), the Fund is not required to charge a mandatory liquidity fee. This fee does not affect shares purchased on the Exchange.

Adviser's Strategy
Simplify Asset Management, Inc. is the investment adviser to the Fund and makes the Fund's investment decisions. The adviser selects money market instruments for the Fund based on its assessment of relative values and changes in market and economic conditions. The adviser also considers safety of principal and liquidity in selecting securities for the Fund and thus may not buy securities that offer the highest yield.
Principal Investment Risks: As with all funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. Many factors affect the Fund's net asset value and price of shares and performance. The following describes the risks the Fund bears with respect to its investments. As with any fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a debt security may fall when interest rates rise. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will go down more in response to changes in interest rates than the market price of shorter-term securities. Due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Very low interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to Fund shareholders. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates during a period of historically low interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility, and may detract from the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
Credit Risk. The issuer of a debt security (i.e., the borrower) may be unable or unwilling to make timely payments of interest and principal when due or otherwise honor their obligations. Changes in an issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also adversely affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund's investments in foreign securities can be riskier than U.S. securities investments. Investments in the securities of foreign issuers are subject to the risks associated with investing in those foreign markets, such as heightened risks of inflation or nationalization. The prices of foreign securities and the prices of U.S. securities have, at times, moved in opposite directions. In addition, securities of foreign issuers may lose value due to political, economic and geographic events affecting a foreign issuer or market.
U.S. Treasury Market Risk. Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling." Such non-payment could result in losses to the Fund and substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.
U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Different types of U.S. Government securities have different levels of credit risk depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. Securities issued by certain U.S. Government agencies and certain U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. For example, the debt of U.S. Government sponsored enterprises, such as that issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal Home Loan Banks are not guaranteed by the U.S. Government or supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. In addition, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal on U.S. Government obligations, such as reaching the legislative "debt ceiling." Such non-payment could result in losses to the Fund and substantial negative consequences for the U.S. economy and the global financial system. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. Government may cause the value of U.S. Government obligations to decline.
Repurchase Agreements Risk. If the other party to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Fund may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security and the market value of the security declines, the Fund may lose money.
4
Market and Geopolitical Risk. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change and climate-related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets.
Limited History Risk. The Fund is a new ETF and has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. The Fund may fail to reach an economically viable size and may close. Large redemptions may force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund's NAV, increase the Fund's brokerage costs and/or have a material effect on the market price of the Fund shares.
Management Risk. The Fund is subject to the risk that its investment management strategy may not produce the intended results. There can be no assurance that the investments selected by the adviser will produce positive returns.
Financial Services Sector Risk. Financial sector companies are exposed to: (i) risk factors outside their control that may impair financial condition, (ii) burdensome regulatory rule changes, (iii) rising interest rates that may have a significant impact on earnings, (iv) default risk on non-diversified loan portfolios, (v) credit risk of investments, and (vi) increased competition.
Mandatory Liquidity Fee Risk. The Board of Trustees (the "Board"), or its delegate, must impose a mandatory liquidity fee upon all shares redeemed if the Fund's net redemptions on any business day exceed 5% of the Fund's net assets, unless the liquidity costs are de minimis. Accordingly, redemptions by Authorized Participants may be subject to a mandatory liquidity fee at certain times, which may impact the Fund's price on the Exchange.
Variable and Floating Rate Instrument Risk. Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their coupon rates do not reset as high, or as quickly, as comparable market interest rates, and generally carry lower yields than fixed securities of the same maturity. These securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. A decline in interest rates may result in a reduction in income received from variable and floating rate securities held by the Fund and may adversely affect the value of the Fund's shares. These securities may be subject to greater illiquidity risk.
Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk. These securities are subject to certain risks, including credit, interest rate, prepayment and extension risks. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgage or asset, particularly during periods of economic downturn. Small movements in interest rates (both increases and decreases) may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. During periods of difficult credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, and/or become illiquid. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover premiums paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk, and may receive principal later than expected. Certain asset-backed, mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities may face valuation difficulties and may be less liquid than other types of debt securities.
When-Issued, Delayed Delivery, and Forward Commitments Risk. When-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Fund buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Fund may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security's price.
5
ETF Structure Risk. The Fund is structured as an ETF. As a result, the Fund is subject to the special risks, including:
Cash Transaction Risk.Purchases and redemptions of creation units that are made primarily with cash, rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may cause the Fund to incur additional costs including brokerage costs and taxable capital gains or losses that the Fund may not have incurred if the Fund had made redemptions in-kind.● |

Investment Adviser: Simplify Asset Management Inc. ("SAMI").
Portfolio Managers: David Berns, Chief Investment Officer of the adviser, Jason England, Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, and Fixed Income Strategist of the adviser, and Christopher Chua, Portfolio Manager of the adviser serve as portfolio managers of the Fund. Messrs. Berns, England, and Chua have each served the Fund as a portfolio manager since it commenced operations in 2025 and are jointly and primarily responsible for the management of the Fund.
Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares: The Fund will issue and redeem Shares at NAV only in large blocks of 10,000 Shares (each block of Shares is called a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed primarily in-kind for securities but may include cash. Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through brokers. Except when aggregated in Creation Units in transactions with Authorized Participants, the Shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund.
Shares of the Fund are listed for trading on the Exchange and trade at market prices rather than NAV. Shares of the Fund may trade at a price that is greater than, at, or less than NAV.
Tax Information: The Fund's distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income or long-term capital gains. A sale of Shares may result in capital gain or loss.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries: If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
