Investment Objective
The SoFi Social 50 Income ETF (the "Fund") seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund ("Shares"). You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and Example below.
| Annual Fund Operating Expenses(1) (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | ||
| Management Fees | 0.70% | |
| Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees | None | |
| Other Expenses(2) | 0.02% | |
| Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses(2)(3) | 0.01% | |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses | 0.73% | |
| Less: Fee Waiver(2)(4) | -0.01 | |
| Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver | 0.72% |
| (1) | The Fund's investment adviser, Tidal Investments LLC ("Tidal" or the "Adviser"), a Tidal Financial Group company, will pay, or require the Fund Sponsor (defined below) to pay, all expenses incurred by the Fund (except for advisory fees and sub-advisory fees, as the case may be) excluding interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE"), accrued deferred tax liability, distribution fees and expenses paid by the Fund under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), and litigation expenses, and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses (collectively, the "Excluded Expenses"). |
| (2) | Based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year, including estimated interest expense expected to be incurred in connection with the Fund's investment in options. |
| (3) | AFFE are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies. |
| (4) | The Adviser has agreed to waive its unitary management fee on any assets of the Fund that are invested in the SoFi Social 50 ETF ("SFYF") for such period during which the Adviser serves as investment adviser to both funds. This arrangement is indefinite in term and may only be terminated by an amendment to the investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Tidal Trust I (the "Trust"), on behalf of the Fund. The fee waiver is not subject to recoupment. |
Expense Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example does not take into account brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years |
| $74 | $230 |
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in total annual fund operating expenses or in the expense example above, affect the Fund's performance. Because the Fund is newly organized, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF") that seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund's strategy involves two components: (1) directly or indirectly investing either in shares of SFYF or in shares of all of the constituent companies included in the SoFi Social 50 Index (the "Index"), the underlying Index that SFYF tracks (the "Equity Strategy"); and (2) generating income through an options portfolio (the "Options Strategies"), each as described below. SFYF is a separate passively managed ETF that tracks the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index uses a rules-based methodology to track the performance of a portfolio of the 50 most widely held U.S.-listed equity securities, which may include real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), in self-directed brokerage accounts of SoFi Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Social Finance, Inc. ("SoFi," or the "Fund Sponsor"). The Index caps the weight of each individual index component at 10%, and securities representing investments in any particular industry sector are capped at 50%. The Adviser also manages and serves as the investment adviser for SFYF.
Index Overview
The Index is designed to reflect the 50 most widely held U.S.-listed equity securities in the SoFi Accounts as weighted by aggregate holdings within the SoFi Accounts. Securities eligible for inclusion in the Index must: (a) be U.S.-listed equity securities held in SoFi Accounts, and (b) have an average daily trading volume of at least $10,000,000 during the preceding one-month and six-month periods (the "Eligible Universe"). The Index may include common stocks and equity interests in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). ETFs and other investment companies are not eligible for the Index. Securities in the Eligible Universe are sorted based on (1) the number of SoFi Accounts that hold a particular security and (2) the total market value of the security held in the SoFi Accounts (the "Weighted Average Value").
Each security in the Eligible Universe is then ranked from highest to lowest based on its Weighted Average Value (e.g., the security with the highest Weighted Average Value is assigned rank 1). Subject to a "buffer rule" aimed at limiting Index turnover, securities ranked within the top 50 are included in the Index. Each security in the Index is then weighted based on its Weighted Average Value in relation to that of the other Index components and is subject to certain individual security weight and sector concentration caps. For example, the weight of each individual Index component is capped at 10%, and securities representing investments in any particular industry sector are capped at 50%. The Index is rebalanced and reconstituted monthly.
As of June 1, 2026, the SoFi Accounts consisted of over 3.1 million separate self-directed brokerage accounts, which are accounts where investments are chosen by retail investors and not professional investment managers.
In addition, the Fund will maintain a minor allocation to cash or U.S. Treasuries, not exceeding ten percent of its total assets.
Equity Strategy
The Fund invests directly or indirectly in shares of SFYF or in shares of all of the constituent companies included in the Index (the "Underlying Securities").
When implementing the Equity Strategy, the Fund will primarily invest directly in Underlying Securities. Alternatively, when the Adviser believes that doing so is in the best interest of the Fund, the Fund may invest indirectly (i.e., synthetically using options) using options on Underlying Securities. When using synthetic investments, the Fund may utilize listed options to achieve synthetic exposure to the Fund's portfolio securities. The Fund may employ short-dated (a month or less) in-the-money call options (options with strike prices below the current market price of the underlying securities, offering immediate intrinsic value). These options allow the Fund to synthetically replicate the performance of underlying securities without direct ownership. The Fund may also utilize other option strategies to achieve similar synthetic exposure, including purchasing call options and selling put options on Underlying Securities with identical strike prices. These derivatives strategies enable the Fund to respond flexibly to market conditions, liquidity constraints, and applicable tax requirements for regulated investment companies. For additional details about the Fund's use of options, please refer to the section of the Prospectus entitled "Additional Information About the Fund."
The Fund will invest in large-capitalization securities, defined as those with a market capitalization exceeding $10 billion and mid-capitalization securities, which are defined as securities with a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion. The Adviser seeks to construct the portfolio for the Equity Strategy with an overall exposure that corresponds to the portfolio of SFYF.
| 2 |
Options Strategies
The Fund seeks to generate income from option premiums, primarily through strategies involving options contracts on some or all of its Underlying Securities.
The Fund receives option premiums from selling (writing) options. When an option is sold, the buyer pays the Fund for the right to either purchase or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price. Receipt of an option premium does not always represent income, depending on the outcome of the overall options transaction.
The Adviser employs different options strategies based on its market outlook, selecting one or a combination of strategies it believes will achieve the Fund's desired level of options premium generation, while also allowing for potential capital appreciation (growth in asset value). The Adviser also evaluates the performance of the Underlying Securities when choosing which options strategies to deploy. The specific options strategies the Fund employs may alter its overall risk and return profile, affecting volatility, income, potential for capital appreciation, and the preservation of capital. For instance, by writing call spreads or covered calls (i.e., selling call options on securities already held by the Fund), the Fund may limit its potential gains in exchange for receipt of option premiums.
Premiums received from selling options are influenced by market volatility, with higher levels of volatility generally leading to higher premiums. As such, the Adviser carefully monitors market conditions to determine when and which options strategies to implement, with a focus on enhancing the Fund's distribution levels. Through the active management of its options positions, the Adviser seeks to optimize the Fund's ability to generate a consistent level of options premiums.
The option strategies most frequently utilized by the Fund consist of covered calls and call spreads, with call spreads typically structured as selling credit spreads. The Fund uses these strategies to generate premium by selling call options and, in the case of call spreads, simultaneously purchasing call options at higher strike prices. See the prospectus section titled "Additional Information About the Fund" for a list of the options strategies that the Fund may utilize, together with a description of each options strategy.
Treasuries
In addition, the Fund will hold cash or short-term U.S. Treasury securities. These securities provide collateral for the Options Strategies, while also generating some income for the Fund.
Fund Attributes
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in Underlying Securities and options contracts that provide economic exposure to Underlying Securities. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value.
Due to the Fund's investment strategy, to the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of a particular industry or group of related industries), the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index.
The Fund intends to make cash distributions on a monthly basis. Receipt of an option premium does not always represent income. Depending on whether the transaction as a whole results in a gain or loss, such amounts may be treated for accounting or tax purposes as income or as a return of capital ("ROC"), For more information see the section in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Information About the Fund- Options Premiums - Income/Return of Capital." The Fund's Options Strategies involve active and frequents trading which may result in high annual portfolio turnover rate for the Fund.
The Fund is "non-diversified" for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means that the Fund may invest in fewer issuers at any one time than a diversified fund.
Principal Investment Risks
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 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."
Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
| 3 |
User Bias Risk. The securities that comprise SFYF are selected by retail investors holding self-directed brokerage accounts at SoFi, who may not be professional investors, may have no financial expertise, and may not do any research on the companies in which they invest prior to investing. In some cases, investment decisions made may be influenced by non-quantitative factors, including, without limitation, cognitive and emotional biases, resulting in the inclusion of certain securities in SFYF which may underperform the market generally and result in lower returns for the Fund.
Equity Market Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund's portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the Fund invests. Common stocks, such as those held by the Fund, 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 issuers.
General Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a number of factors, including inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters or events, pandemic diseases, terrorism, regulatory events, and government controls.
| 4 |
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be an imperfect correlation between the value of an Underlying Security and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. Because derivatives often require only a limited initial investment, the use of derivatives may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts initially invested. In addition, the Fund's investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:
| ○ | Options Contracts. The use of options contracts involves investment strategies and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The prices of options are volatile and are influenced by, among other things, actual and anticipated changes in the value of the underlying security or instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which is affected by fiscal and monetary policies, changes in the actual or implied volatility of the underlying security or instrument, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events. The Fund may experience substantial downside from specific option positions and certain option positions held by the Fund may expire worthless. The options held by the Fund are exercisable at the strike price on their expiration date. As an option approaches its expiration date, its value typically increasingly moves with the value of the underlying security or instrument. However, prior to such date, the value of an option generally does not increase or decrease at the same rate as the underlying security or instrument. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the values of options contracts and the underlying security or instrument, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for certain options contracts. The value of the options held by the Fund will be determined based on market quotations or other recognized pricing methods. Additionally, as the Fund may continuously maintain indirect exposure to one or more of the underlying securities or instruments through the use of options contracts, as the options contracts it holds are exercised or expire it will enter into new options contracts, a practice referred to as "rolling." If the expiring options contracts do not generate proceeds enough to cover the cost of entering into new options contracts, the Fund may experience losses. |
Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in options contracts. Transactions in some types of derivatives, including options, are required to be centrally cleared ("cleared derivatives"). In a transaction involving cleared derivatives, the Fund's counterparty is a clearing house rather than a bank or broker. Since the Fund is not a member of clearing houses and only members of a clearing house ("clearing members") can participate directly in the clearing house, the Fund will hold cleared derivatives through accounts at clearing members. In cleared derivatives positions, the Fund will make payments (including margin payments) to and receive payments from a clearing house through their accounts at clearing members. Customer funds held at a clearing organization in connection with any options contracts are held in a commingled omnibus account and are not identified to the name of the clearing member's individual customers. As a result, assets deposited by the Fund with any clearing member as margin for options may, in certain circumstances, be used to satisfy losses of other clients of the Fund's clearing member. In addition, although clearing members guarantee performance of their clients' obligations to the clearing house, there is a risk that the assets of the Fund might not be fully protected in the event of the clearing member's bankruptcy, as the Fund would be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available funds segregated on behalf of the clearing member's customers for the relevant account class. The Fund is also subject to the risk that a limited number of clearing members are willing to transact on the Fund's behalf, which heightens the risks associated with a clearing member's default. If a clearing member defaults the Fund could lose some or all of the benefits of a transaction entered into by the Fund with the clearing member. If the Fund cannot find a clearing member to transact with on the Fund's behalf, the Fund may be unable to effectively implement its investment strategy.
| 5 |
Sector and Industry Risk. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular sector, industry or group of industries based on the exposure of SFYF to such sectors or industries. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular sector, industry or group of industries may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that sector, industry or group of industries more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular sector, industry or group of industries, the value of Shares may fluctuate in response to events affecting that sector, industry or group of industries.
Distribution Risk. The Fund intends to make cash distributions 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.
Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. In managing the Fund's investment portfolio, the portfolio managers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not produce the desired result. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective.
Market Capitalization Risk.
| ○ | Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. | |
| ○ | Mid-Capitalization Investing. The securities of mid-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large-capitalization companies. The securities of mid-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. |
| 6 |
REIT Risk. Through its indirect investments in REITs, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in the real estate market, including decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters. REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions; declines in property value and the real estate market; the potential failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income; and exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area, or a small number of property types. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. To the extent the Fund invests in REITs concentrated in specific geographic areas or property types, the Fund may be subject to a greater loss as a result of adverse developments affecting such area or property types. REITs are pooled investment vehicles with their own fees and expenses and the Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.
Affiliated ETF Risks. The Adviser manages and serves as the investment adviser for SFYF, and receives advisory fees generated by SFYF. It is possible that a conflict of interest among the Fund and SFYF could affect how the Adviser fulfills its fiduciary duties to the Fund and SFYF. The Adviser may have a conflict of interest in allocating Fund assets among SFYF as opposed to the securities held by SFYF. In addition, the Adviser may have an incentive to consider the effect on SFYF in determining whether, and under what circumstances, to purchase or sell shares in SFYF.
Recent Market Events Risk. U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks' interest rate changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, war, and geopolitical conflict. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite efforts to address market disruptions.
Concentration Risk. The Fund's investments will be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent SFYF is so concentrated. In such event, the value of Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares that invest in securities of companies in a broader range of industries.
ETF Risks.
| ○ | Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund (known as "Authorized Participants" or "APs"). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, Shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. | |
| ○ | Cash Redemption Risk. The Fund's investment strategy may require it to redeem Shares for cash or to otherwise include cash as part of its redemption proceeds. For example, the Fund may not be able to redeem in-kind certain securities held by the Fund (e.g., derivative instruments and bonds that cannot be broken up beyond certain minimum sizes needed for transfer and settlement). In such a case, the Fund may be required to sell or unwind portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize a capital gain that it might not have recognized if it had made a redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may have less cash efficiency and pay out higher annual capital gain distributions to shareholders than if the in-kind redemption process was used | |
| ○ | Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling Shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of Shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in Shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. | |
| ○ | Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, Shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of Shares will approximate the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price of Shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of Shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for Shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. | |
| ○ | Trading. Although Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that Shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than Shares. Also, in stressed market conditions, the market for Shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings. These adverse effect on liquidity for Shares, in turn, could lead to wider bid/ask spreads and differences between the market price of Shares and the underlying value of those Shares. |
| 7 |
High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund's holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund's expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Fund due to an increase in short-term capital gains.
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.
Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as "non-diversified," which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Investment in a limited number of issuers exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential losses than if its assets were diversified among a greater number of issuers.
Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund's service providers, counterparties 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. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund's ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund and Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks.
U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk. The Fund may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. U.S. Government obligations include securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities, such as the U.S. Treasury. Payment of principal and interest on U.S. Government obligations may be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or may be backed solely by the issuing or guaranteeing agency or instrumentality itself. In the latter case, the investor must look principally to the agency or instrumentality issuing or guaranteeing the obligation for ultimate repayment, which agency or instrumentality may be privately owned. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so.
Performance
Performance information for the Fund is not included because the Fund has not completed a full calendar year of operations as of the date of this Prospectus. When such information is included, this section will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance history from year to year and showing how the Fund's average annual total returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. Updated performance information will be available on the Fund's website at www.sofi.com/invest/etfs/.

Management
Investment Adviser
Tidal Investments LLC, a Tidal Financial Group company, serves as investment adviser to the Fund.
Portfolio Managers
Scott Snyder, Portfolio Manager for the Adviser, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2026.
Quinn Berry, Portfolio Manager for the Adviser, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception in 2026.
Purchase and Sale of Shares
The Fund issues and redeems Shares at NAV only in large blocks known as "Creation Units," which only APs (typically, broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund generally issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities (the "Deposit Securities") and/or a designated amount of U.S. cash. Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units primarily with cash, rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities, may cause the Fund to incur certain costs. These costs could include brokerage costs or taxable gains or losses that it might not have incurred if it had made redemption in-kind. These costs could be imposed on the Fund, and thus decrease the Fund's NAV, to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an AP.
Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the Exchange, and individual Shares may only be bought and sold in the secondary market through brokers at market prices, rather than NAV. Because Shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount).
An investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase Shares (the "bid" price) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for Shares (the "ask" price) when buying or selling Shares in the secondary market. This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the "bid-ask spread."
When available, information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, how often Shares traded on the Exchange at a premium or discount, and bid-ask spreads can be found on the Fund's website at www.sofi.com/invest/etfs/.
Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains (or a combination), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged account. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.
Financial Intermediary Compensation
If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), the Adviser or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training, or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.
