The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The Fund pursues a daily leveraged investment objective, which means that the Fund is riskier than alternatives that do not use leverage because the Fund magnifies the performance of the Underlying Security. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Underlying Security's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Underlying Security's performance declines over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of their investment within a single day.
An investment in CVNX is not an investment in Carvana Co.

The Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.

Hard copies can be requested by calling 833.333.9383.
Investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. As an ETF, the funds may trade at a premium or discount to NAV. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. A portfolio concentrated in a single industry or country, may be subject to a higher degree of risk.
There is no guarantee that the Fund's investment strategy will be properly implemented, and an investor may lose some or all of its investment.
Total return represents changes to the NAV and accounts for distributions from the fund.
CVNA Risks: The Fund invests in swap contracts and options that are based on the share price of CVNA. This subjects the Fund to certain of the same risks as if it owned shares of CVNA even though it does not.
Indirect Investment Risk . CVNA is not affiliated with the Trust, the Fund, or the Adviser, or their respective affiliates and is not involved with this offering in any way and has no obligation to consider your Shares in taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of Shares.
Trading Risk . The trading price of the Fund may be subject to volatility and could experience wide fluctuations due to various factors. Short sellers may also play a significant role in trading CVNA, potentially affecting the supply and demand dynamics and contributing to market price volatility. Public perception and external factors beyond the company's control may influence CVNA's stock price disproportionately.
Performance Risk. CVNA may fail to meet publicly announced guidelines or other expectations about its business, which could cause the price of CVNA to decline.
Automotive Industry Risk. The automotive retail industry is subject to significant risks that can impact both profitability and competitiveness. The industry is highly dependent on consumer demand, which can be influenced by various factors such as economic conditions, consumer confidence, fuel prices, and preferences for particular vehicle types.
Additional Risks:
Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. The Fund has a daily leveraged investment objective and the Fund's performance for periods greater than a trading day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period, which is very likely to differ from two times (200%) the Underlying Security's performance, before the Fund's management fee and other expenses.
Leverage Risk. The Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. An investment in the Fund is exposed to the risk that a decline in the daily performance of the Underlying Security will be magnified.
Derivatives Risk. 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 risks related to the market, leverage, imperfect daily correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation, and legal restrictions.
Swap Agreements. The use of swap transactions is a highly specialized activity, which involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
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 instrument, including the anticipated volatility, which are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and by national and international political, changes in the actual or implied volatility or the reference asset, the time remaining until the expiration of the option contract and economic events.
Counterparty Risk. The Fund is subject to counterparty risk by virtue of its investments in derivatives which exposes the Fund to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.
Fixed Income Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed-income securities owned by the Fund.
Liquidity Risk. Some securities held by the Fund may be difficult to sell or be illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Markets for securities or financial instruments could be disrupted by a number of events, including, but not limited to, an economic crisis, natural disasters, epidemics/pandemics, new legislation, or regulatory changes inside or outside the United States.
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.
Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market. Brokerage Commissions may be charged on trades.

Billionaire Stanley Druckenmiller Owns $175 Million of This Brilliant Dividend Growth Stock
Philip Morris International is one of the largest positions in Stan Druckenmiller's portfolio. The stock has soared because of its leading position in disruptive nicotine categories. The stock can produce plenty of dividend growth for the rest of this decade. 10 stocks we like better than Philip Morris International › It can pay to follow billionaire fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller, who has put up phenomenal market-beating returns for decades. One of the largest positions in his Duquesne Family Office is Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM). He owns $175 million worth of the stock, first purchased in the second quarter of 2024. Since then, shares have posted a total return of more than 100% as investors have gotten excited about the company's growth with new nicotine brands that are replacing cigarettes. Here's the brilliance behind Philip Morris' strategy, and why this is the perfect dividend growth stock over the next 10 years. Spun out as an independent company almost two decades ago, Philip Morris International is one of the leading tobacco companies that sells outside of the United States, while Altria Group sells its brands domestically. One benefit of owning Philip Morris International is the international diversification it can provide for your portfolio. Even though the company reports in U.S. dollars, the revenue it collects is generally outside the United States, which can help investors when the dollar is getting devalued versus foreign currencies, as is happening today. The stock has soared mainly because of the major investments the company made beyond cigarettes that are now bearing fruit. It has the leading nicotine pouch brand called Zyn, which is growing like wildfire in the United States, and with incredible profit margins. The brand has gone from virtually nothing 10 years ago to selling more than 200 million cans a quarter in the country. More globally, the Iqos heat-not-burn device brand is the leader in the category that is popular in Europe and Japan, driving tons of new revenue and earnings for Philip Morris International. Overall, 42% of the company's revenue now comes from its smoke-free business, driving overall revenue to $38.4 billion over the last 12 months. Dividends are the way that Philip Morris returns capital to shareholders. Its dividend yield is much lower than a year ago at 3%, but it still offers a solid yield for shareholders. One big factor in this dividend consistency is the steady cash flow produced by the legacy cigarette business. Usage for cigarettes is slowly declining in the markets in which it operates, but the company is in a much better position outside of the United States because of its exposure to countries with growing populations. It also has the leading brands that consumers of nicotine are switching to buy. Today, Philip Morris pays a dividend per share of $5.35. This will be funded by its free cash flow per share, currently at $6.55. No cash flow, no dividends. It's that simple at the end of the day. Free cash flow is actually depressed right now because of the large manufacturing build-out for nicotine pouches and heat-not-burn growth. Over the next five years, investors should see an inflection in free cash flow per share up to $10 or higher. In turn, this gives the company plenty of room to grow its dividend-per-share payout, which will boost the dividend yield as long as the stock price doesn't go up. Around 10% dividend growth for the next five years will put the stock's dividend-per-share payout at $8.61, which is well below what the company can generate in free cash flow. This gives the company an easy path to keep growing its dividend payout for shareholders. Even though the stock is up 100% in the last 12 months or so, Philip Morris International stock may still be a solid buy for investors today. Don't expect 100% returns every year, but the math works out that this stock is still cheaper than most you can buy today. It has a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 24, which is not overly expensive for a consistent earnings grower. The dividend yield is well above the stock market average, with plenty of room to grow this yield in the years to come. Philip Morris has the dominant position in the growing trend of nicotine use without tobacco, which will make it a market share taker versus competitors. Put it together, and Philip Morris International is a great stock to buy and hold for the long haul. No wonder Druckenmiller has it as one of the largest positions in his portfolio.

Where Will Alibaba Stock Be in 10 Years?
Alibaba's stock trades far below its record high. It faces competitive, macro, and regulatory challenges. But it could still stabilize its business and evolve over the next decade. 10 stocks we like better than Alibaba Group › Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), the largest e-commerce and cloud company in China, went public at $68 per share on Sept. 18, 2014. It raised $25 billion, making it the largest IPO in history at the time, and it held that record until Saudi Aramco's $29.4 billion IPO in 2019. Alibaba's stock closed at a record high of $310.29 on Oct. 27, 2020. That marked a 356% gain from its IPO price. At the time, investors were dazzled by the robust growth of its e-commerce and cloud businesses, as well as its rapid expansion into adjacent markets. But today, Alibaba's stock trades at about $114. China's antitrust regulators cracked down on Alibaba's e-commerce business by forcing it to ax exclusive deals with merchants, rein in its promotions, and seek regulatory approvals for all its future investments and acquisitions. All of that pressure, along with a record $2.8 billion fine, eroded its defenses against aggressive competitors including PDD and At the same time, China's soft economic growth forced many companies to rein in their cloud spending. Alibaba also scrapped a long-awaited IPO for its fintech affiliate Ant Financial in 2020, and it also walked back plans to spin off cloud, logistics, and Freshippo grocery units in 2023 and 2024. Investors sensed its high-growth days were over, and its stock stumbled. Those setbacks were worrisome, but can Alibaba's stock bounce back over the next 10 years? Alibaba splits its business into seven groups. The Taobao and Tmall Group hosts its two largest online marketplaces in China, the Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group handles its overseas and cross-border e-commerce marketplaces (including Lazada in Southeast Asia, Daraz in South Asia, Trendyol in Turkey, and AliExpress for its overseas customers), and the Cloud Intelligence segment houses its cloud infrastructure platform and related AI services. Alibaba's Cainiao group provides both first-party and third-party logistics services, its Local Services group provides localized delivery services within China, and its Digital Media and Entertainment Group handles streaming video, audio, and film production businesses. Lastly, the "All Others" segment operates the company's brick-and-mortar stores and non-core digital platforms. In fiscal 2025, which ended this March, Alibaba's revenue rose 6%. All seven of its groups grew year over year, while its international digital commerce, cloud intelligence, and local services groups posted double-digit revenue gains. Segment FY 2025 Revenue (USD) Growth (YOY in CNY) Taobao and Tmall Group $61.99 billion 3% Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group $18.23 billion 29% Cloud Intelligence Group $16.27 billion 11% Cainiao Smart Logistics Group $13.96 billion 2% Local Services Group $9.24 billion 12% Digital Media and Entertainment Group $3.07 billion 5% All others $28.43 billion 7% Total $137.3 billion 6% Data source: Alibaba. YOY = Year-over-year. Alibaba expects its overseas e-commerce marketplaces, cloud infrastructure platform, and ongoing upgrades for Qwen, a new family of large language models for new generative AI applications, to fuel its near-term growth. The company's AI-related revenue could surge over the next few years as more companies upgrade their AI capabilities. As for its core Chinese e-commerce business, Alibaba plans to upgrade Taobao's live streaming features and peddle more discount goods to keep up with PDD and ByteDance's Douyin, known as TikTok overseas, as the macro headwinds curb consumer spending. This segment won't become a roaring growth engine again, but its stabilization is crucial for Alibaba's future. China's economy could also stabilize and grow again if it reaches a mutually favorable trade deal with the United States. Since Alibaba no longer plans to spin off most of its groups as independent companies, observers might see the company integrate its cloud, AI, logistics, delivery apps, and brick-and-mortar stores more deeply into domestic and overseas e-commerce marketplaces. It could also roll out more advertising and e-commerce services across its own digital media ecosystem -- which includes the streaming video platform Youku, its streaming music service AliMusic, and its AliOS smart TV platform. In other words, Alibaba's high-growth days might be over, but its businesses could converge and drive growth as a diversified retail and tech giant. According to Mordor Intelligence, the Chinese e-commerce market could still expand at a CAGR of 10% from 2025 to 2030. Grand View Research expects China's public cloud market to grow at a CAGR of 23% from 2024 to 2030. Staying at the top of these two markets, even as a maturing leader, could ensure its long-term growth. Those secular trends indicate Alibaba still has plenty of room to grow, even if it faces challenging macro, competitive, and regulatory headwinds. Conservatively assuming it grows EPS at a CAGR of 10% from 2025 to 2035, and its stock still trades at 11 times forward earnings by the beginning of the final year, Alibaba's price could more than double to about $257 over the next decade. That would be a decent gain, but it would still be well below its all-time high from 2020.
