Fund Description

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives through the use of a synthetic covered call strategy that provides current income on a weekly basis, while also providing exposure to the price return of one or more exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that hold bitcoin and whose shares trade on a U.S.-regulated securities exchange (each, a “Bitcoin ETF,” and collectively, the “Bitcoin ETFs”). In effectuating its investment strategy, the Fund will purchase and sell a combination of call and put option contracts that utilize a Bitcoin ETF or an index of Bitcoin ETFs (the “Bitcoin ETF Index”) as the reference asset (“Bitcoin ETF Options”). The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in Bitcoin ETF Options. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value. The Fund’s sale of Bitcoin ETF call options (“Bitcoin ETF Call Options”) to generate income will potentially limit the degree to which the Fund will participate in any gains experienced by the Bitcoin ETFs. The Fund does not invest directly in bitcoin.

The Bitcoin ETF Options the Fund utilizes in implementing its investment strategy will be traditional exchange-traded options contracts and/or FLexible EXchangeÒ options (“FLEX Options”). The Fund will only invest in options contracts that are listed for trading on regulated U.S. exchanges. Traditional exchange-traded options have standardized terms, such as the type (call or put), the reference asset, the strike price and expiration date. Exchange-listed options contracts are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). FLEX Options are a type of exchange-listed options contract with uniquely customizable terms that allow investors to customize key terms like type, strike price and expiration date that are standardized in a typical options contract. FLEX Options are also guaranteed for settlement by the OCC.

In general, an option is a contract that gives the purchaser (holder) of the option, in return for a premium, the right to buy from (call) or sell to (put) the seller (writer) of the option the security or currency underlying (in this case, a Bitcoin ETF or an index of Bitcoin ETFs) the option at a specified exercise price. For physically settled options, the writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver the underlying security or currency upon payment of the exercise price (call) or to pay the exercise price upon delivery of the underlying security or currency (put). For cash settled options, the writer of an option has the obligation upon exercise of the option to deliver cash equivalent to the difference between the strike price and the price of the underlying.

In a traditional covered call strategy, an investor (such as the Fund) sells a call option on a security it already owns. However, although the Fund may hold some shares of one or more Bitcoin ETFs, it will primarily derive its exposure to Bitcoin ETFs through Bitcoin ETF Options. It is this distinction that causes the Fund’s strategy to be properly termed as a “synthetic covered call strategy” as opposed to a traditional covered call strategy, because the Fund primarily has synthetic exposure to a Bitcoin ETF. The Fund’s synthetic exposure to Bitcoin ETFs is achieved through the combination of purchasing call options and selling put options generally at the same strike price which synthetically creates the upside and downside participation in the price returns of a Bitcoin ETF or an index of Bitcoin ETFs. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to increases in value experienced by the Bitcoin ETFs through the purchase of Bitcoin ETF Call Options. As a buyer of these options, the Fund pays a premium to the seller of the options. The Fund will primarily gain exposure to decreases in value experienced by the Bitcoin ETFs through the sale of Bitcoin ETF put options (“Bitcoin ETF Put Options”). As the seller of these options, the Fund receives a premium from the buyer of the options. In combination, the purchased Bitcoin ETF Call Options and sold Bitcoin ETF Put Options generally provide exposure to price returns of the Bitcoin ETF(s) both on the upside and downside.

As the primary means by which the Fund intends to generate income, the Fund will sell Bitcoin ETF Call Options at a strike price that is out-of-the-money. However, it is important to note that the sale of these call options to generate income will limit the Fund’s ability to participate in increases in value of the Bitcoin ETFs beyond a certain point. If the value of the Bitcoin ETFs increases, the above-referenced synthetic long exposure would allow the Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the value of the Bitcoin ETFs appreciates in value beyond the strike price of one or more of the Bitcoin ETF Call Options that the Fund has sold to generate income, the Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Fund’s synthetic long exposure. As a result, the Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic long exposure to the Bitcoin ETFs and the sold Bitcoin ETF Call Options) will limit the Fund’s participation in gains of the Bitcoin ETFs beyond a certain point. This strategy effectively converts a portion of the potential upside price return growth of the Bitcoin ETFs into current income. It is expected that the Bitcoin ETF Call Options the Fund will sell to generate options premiums will generally have expirations of approximately one week or less and will be held to or close to expiration. The Fund intends to make weekly distribution payments to shareholders.

In addition to the options contracts, the Fund will also invest in short-term U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds. The Fund may also directly hold shares of one or more Bitcoin ETFs. Due to certain tests that must be met in order to qualify as a registered investment company (“RIC”), the Fund may also utilize reverse repurchase agreements to help maintain the desired level of exposure to Bitcoin ETF Options.

The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).

Cayman Subsidiary

Unless the IRS announces a change in position, the Fund will invest in Bitcoin ETF Options generally through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). Thus, unless the IRS announces a change in position, the Fund will generally not directly hold Bitcoin ETF Options. If the IRS announces that it will accept income generated by a “security” under the 1940 Act as qualifying income for purposes of the RIC qualification tests without regard to the grantor trust rules under I.R.C. § 671, the Fund may choose to invest directly in Bitcoin ETF Options. The Subsidiary and the Fund have the same investment adviser, investment sub-adviser and investment objective. The Subsidiary also follows the same general investment policies and restrictions as the Fund. Except as noted herein, for purposes of this prospectus, references to the Fund’s investment strategies and risks include those of the Subsidiary. The Fund complies with the provisions of the 1940 Act governing investment policies and capital structure and leverage on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary. Furthermore, Roundhill Financial Inc. and Exchange Traded Concepts LLC, as the investment adviser and investment sub-adviser to the Subsidiary, respectively, complies with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to investment advisory contracts as it relates to its advisory agreement with the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary also complies with the provisions of the 1940 Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody. Because the Fund intends to qualify for treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the size of the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary will not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at each quarter end of the Fund’s fiscal year.

Additional Information About the Bitcoin ETFs

The Bitcoin ETFs are structured as Delaware statutory trusts that issue shares representing fractional undivided beneficial interests in its net assets. Each Bitcoin ETF’s assets consist primarily of bitcoin. The Bitcoin ETFs seek to generally reflect the performance of the price of bitcoin. The Bitcoin ETFs are not investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, and the sponsors of the Bitcoin ETFs are not registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and are not subject to regulation by the SEC as such in connection with its activities with respect to the Bitcoin ETFs. The Bitcoin ETFs are not a commodity pool for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act” or “CEA”), and the sponsors are not subject to regulation by the CFTC as a commodity pool operator or a commodity trading advisor with respect to the Bitcoin ETFs.

Additional Information about the Bitcoin ETF Index

The Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to track the performance of a basket of Bitcoin ETFs listed on U.S. exchanges. Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index Options (CBTX) are cash-settled, European style index options based on the Cboe Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index. Similarly, the Cboe Mini Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index Options (MBTX) are cash-settled, European style index options based on the Cboe Mini Bitcoin U.S. ETF Index that are designed to be 1/10th the size of the standard CBTX options contract.

Additional Information on Bitcoin

Bitcoin is a digital asset that is created and transmitted through the operations of the online, peer-to-peer Bitcoin network, a decentralized network of computers that operates on cryptographic protocols. The ownership of bitcoin is determined by participants in the Bitcoin network. The Bitcoin network connects computers that run publicly accessible, or “open source,” software that follows the rules and procedures governing the Bitcoin network. This is commonly referred to as the Bitcoin Protocol. Bitcoin, the asset, plays a key role in the operation of the Bitcoin network, as the computers (or “miners”) that process transactions on the network and maintain the network’s security are compensated through the issuance of new bitcoin and through transaction fees paid by users in bitcoin.

No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin is not issued by any government, by banks or similar organizations. The infrastructure of the Bitcoin network is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. The Bitcoin network is accessed through software, and software governs the creation, movement, and ownership of “bitcoin,” the unit of account on the Bitcoin network ledger. The value of bitcoin is determined, in part, by the supply of, and demand for, bitcoin in the global markets for trading bitcoin, market expectations for the adoption of bitcoin as a decentralized store of value, the number of merchants and/or institutions that accept bitcoin as a form of payment and the volume of private end-user-to-end-user transactions.

Bitcoin transaction and ownership records are reflected on the “Bitcoin blockchain,” which is a digital public record or ledger. Copies of this ledger are stored in a decentralized manner on the computers of each Bitcoin network node (a node is any user who maintains on their computer a full copy of all the bitcoin transaction records, the blockchain, as well as related software). Transaction data is permanently recorded in files called “blocks,” which reflect transactions that have been recorded and authenticated by Bitcoin network participants. The Bitcoin network software source code includes protocols that govern the creation of new bitcoin and the cryptographic system that secures and verifies bitcoin transactions.
