INVESTORS SHOULD CONSIDER THE INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, RISKS, CHARGES, AND EXPENSES OF THE ETF CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. FOR COPIES OF OUR PROSPECTUS OR SUMMARY PROSPECTUS, WHICH CONTAIN THIS AND OTHER INFORMATION, VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.FIRE-ETFS.COM OR CALL (855) 514-2777.

Definitions:
Duration: Duration measures how long it takes, in years, for an investor to be repaid a bond’s price through its total cash flows.
Beta: Beta is the volatility of a security or portfolio against its benchmark. It is a numerical value that signifies how much a stock price jumps around. The higher the value, the more the company tends to fluctuate in value.
SPAC: A SPAC stands for a Special Purpose Acquisition Company, which is a company formed to raise money through an initial public offering so it can later purchase or merge with an existing company.
VOO is the ticker for the Vanguard Su0026P 500 ETF.
FIRE ETFs Risks: ETFs that the Fund may invest in are subject to market, economic and business risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in the underlying ETFs. Because the Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (”NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares.
Inflation Risk: Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. As inflation increases, the present value of the Fund’s assets and distributions, if any, may decline. Market Risk: The market value of the portfolio’s holdings rise and fall from day to day, so investments may lose value.
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.
