The Defiance Daily Target 2X Short SMCI ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily inverse investment results of -2 times (-200%) the daily percentage change in the share price of Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) (the “Underlying Security” or “SMCI”).
SMCZ does not invest directly in SMCI. Because the Fund seeks daily 200% inverse investment results, it is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. It is also riskier than alternatives that do not use a short strategy. There is no guarantee that the Fund will meet its stated objective. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from -200% the return of the Underlying Security for that period.

The Fund may not achieve investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to 2 times the inverse (-2x) the daily performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods. During such periods, the Fund’s actual leverage levels may differ substantially from its intended target, both intraday and at the close of trading, potentially resulting in significantly lower returns.
