What Is Implied Volatility?

Implied volatility, usually shortened to IV, is the market’s expectation of how much a stock will move over a given period, expressed as an annualized percentage. It is derived from current option prices rather than from past price history. An implied volatility of 30% means the options market is pricing in a roughly 30% annualized range of movement in the underlying stock.

This page covers how IV is calculated, how it moves option premiums, how to read the IV column in an option chain, what IV percentile and IV rank measure, and why implied volatility falls after earnings.

The Basics IV and Pricing Option Chain IV Rank What Moves IV Income Strategies FAQ

The Basics

Where the number comes from

An option pricing model takes several inputs and returns a price. The stock price, the strike price, the time left to expiration, and interest rates are all observable. Volatility is not. It is the one input nobody can look up.

So the market solves the problem backward. Take the price an option is actually trading at, hold every other input fixed, and work out what volatility figure the model would need in order to produce that price. That figure is the implied volatility. It is not a forecast anyone published. It is what the collective pricing of options implies about expected movement.

Implied versus historical volatility

Historical volatility measures how much a stock actually moved over some past window, calculated from realized price data. Implied volatility is forward looking and comes from what buyers and sellers are paying for options right now. Historical volatility describes what happened. Implied volatility describes what the market expects. The two frequently disagree, and the gap between them is itself watched closely by options traders.

What high and low IV actually describe

Implied volatility is a statement about the size of expected movement, not its direction. High IV does not mean the market expects a stock to fall. It means the market expects a wide range of outcomes in either direction.

There is no universal threshold for high. A broad diversified index might typically sit near 15% to 20%. A large technology stock might run 30% to 40%. A high growth single stock can trade above 60% as a matter of routine. A 40% reading is elevated for one name and calm for another, which is why traders judge IV against a stock’s own history rather than against an absolute number.

IV and Pricing

How implied volatility affects option pricing

Higher implied volatility raises option premiums. Lower implied volatility reduces them. Everything else held constant, this is the single most direct relationship in options pricing.

The reason is straightforward. An option only pays off if the stock finishes past the strike. A wider expected range of movement makes that outcome more likely, so a buyer will pay more for the contract and a seller will demand more to write it.

For an at the money option, the relationship is close to proportional. Roughly speaking, doubling implied volatility roughly doubles the premium. That approximation breaks down as strikes move further from the current price, but it is a useful mental model for the contracts that trade most.

Hypothetical Illustration

A stock trading at $100. One 30 day at the money call. Only the implied volatility changes.

Implied Volatility	Premium	% of Position
25%	$2.90	2.9%
55%	$6.30	6.3%

Calculated using the standard at the money approximation, premium is roughly 0.4 times price times implied volatility times the square root of time in years. Hypothetical and for illustration only. Not based on any actual security and not a projection of any result. Figures do not reflect commissions, fees, or taxes, and a single period premium should not be annualized.

Option Chain

What IV means in an option chain

The IV column in an option chain shows the implied volatility of each individual contract, calculated from that contract’s own market price. It is not one number for the whole stock. Every strike carries its own reading, and those readings are rarely equal.

Strike	Moneyness	Premium	IV
$95	In the money	$6.85	29.5%
$100	At the money	$2.90	25.0%
$105	Out of the money	$1.05	26.8%
$110	Out of the money	$0.35	29.2%

Hypothetical option chain for a stock trading at $100 with 30 days to expiration. For illustration only. Not based on any actual security.

What ATM IV means

ATM IV is the implied volatility of the at the money contract, the strike sitting closest to the current stock price. It is the figure most often quoted as a single headline reading for a stock, because at the money contracts are usually the most heavily traded and the most sensitive to changes in volatility. In the table above, ATM IV is 25.0%.

Why the IV column is not flat

Notice that IV dips at the money and rises as strikes move in either direction. That curve is called the volatility smile, or skew when it tilts to one side. It exists because real stock returns produce more extreme moves than a simple model assumes, and the market prices the outer strikes accordingly. A single stock IV figure quoted without a strike is almost always the at the money reading.

IV Rank

IV percentile and IV rank

A raw implied volatility figure cannot tell you whether volatility is high, because normal differs by stock. Two measures solve that by comparing current IV to the same stock’s own history, usually over the trailing year.

IV percentile is the share of days in the lookback period on which implied volatility was lower than it is today. An IV percentile of 80 means IV has been below its current level on 80% of trading days that year.

IV rank instead places current IV on the range between the period’s low and high. An IV rank of 80 means IV sits 80% of the way from the year’s lowest reading to its highest.

The two often disagree. IV rank is pulled around by a single extreme day, since one spike resets the top of the range for a year. IV percentile is less sensitive to outliers because it counts days rather than measuring distance. Neither predicts direction, and neither is a signal on its own.

What Moves IV

Implied volatility moves with expectation, not with price

IV rises when the market becomes less certain about what happens next, and falls when that uncertainty resolves. A stock can rise sharply while its implied volatility drops, and the reverse happens just as often.

IV Crush

The most reliable pattern in implied volatility is the fall that comes after an event, not the rise before it.

Implied volatility climbs in the days ahead of a scheduled event such as an earnings release, because the range of possible outcomes is wide and the date is known. Once results are out, the uncertainty is gone and IV typically drops sharply. That drop is called IV crush.

Because premiums move with implied volatility, an option bought before earnings can lose value afterward even when the stock moves in the direction the buyer expected. The move was already priced in. The collapse in IV was not offset by it.

Earnings

A scheduled date with an unknown outcome. The clearest driver of single stock IV.

Rates and macro data

Central bank decisions and inflation prints lift volatility across the market, which feeds into individual names.

Company and sector news

Product launches, litigation, regulatory decisions, and merger activity all widen the range of expected outcomes.

Concentration

A single stock carries the full force of its own news. An index dampens the same events, because its constituents are imperfectly correlated.

Both Sides

What IV means to a buyer and to a seller

An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a set strike price before expiration, in exchange for a premium paid up front. The seller collects that premium and takes on the obligation to fulfill the contract if the buyer exercises.

Implied volatility sits on both sides of that exchange, and it works in opposite directions.

For a buyer, higher IV means paying more for the same contract. The maximum loss is still the premium paid, and that premium is now larger. A buyer entering during elevated IV needs a bigger move to break even, and is exposed to losing value if implied volatility falls before expiration.

For a seller, higher IV means collecting a larger premium. That premium is received regardless of what happens next. But higher IV also reflects a genuinely wider range of possible outcomes, which means a greater chance the contract finishes in the money and the obligation comes due. The larger premium is compensation for real additional risk, not a free improvement in terms.

Income Strategies

Why implied volatility matters to an options income strategy

A covered call strategy holds stock and sells call options against it. The premiums collected are the source of the income the strategy seeks to distribute. Since premiums scale with implied volatility, IV is the input that most directly moves that income.

This explains something investors in covered call funds notice and often find puzzling: distribution amounts move around considerably from period to period even when the underlying holdings have not changed. When implied volatility contracts, there is simply less premium available to collect.

It also explains why volatility levels differ so much between strategies. A fund writing calls on a diversified index is working with index level implied volatility, which is dampened because its constituents do not move together. A fund writing calls on individual holdings is working with single name implied volatility, which is typically higher. That difference in available premium is the reason the two approaches produce different distribution profiles.

The tradeoff runs in both directions and deserves stating plainly. Higher implied volatility means larger premiums, and it also means the underlying stock genuinely is more likely to make large moves, including downward ones. A covered call strategy caps upside above the strike while retaining full downside exposure to the shares it holds. Larger premium income is compensation for accepting that profile, not a way around it. Distributions are not guaranteed, and these strategies are not suitable for all investors.

Common Questions

Implied volatility questions, answered

What is implied volatility?

What is implied volatility in options?

In options, implied volatility is the volatility figure that, when entered into an option pricing model, produces the option’s current market price. Every other input to the model is observable: the stock price, the strike price, time to expiration, and interest rates. Implied volatility is the one unknown, so it is solved for backward from the price the option is actually trading at.

How does implied volatility affect option pricing?

Higher implied volatility raises option premiums and lower implied volatility reduces them, holding everything else constant. A higher expected range of movement makes it more likely an option finishes in the money, so buyers pay more for it. For an at the money option, premium moves roughly in proportion to implied volatility: doubling IV roughly doubles the premium.

What does IV mean in an option chain?

The IV column in an option chain shows the implied volatility of each individual contract, calculated from that contract’s current market price. IV usually differs from strike to strike rather than staying constant. At the money contracts typically show the lowest IV, with figures rising as strikes move further in or out of the money. That pattern is called the volatility smile or skew.

What does ATM IV mean?

ATM IV is the implied volatility of the at the money option, meaning the contract whose strike price is closest to the current stock price. It is commonly used as the single headline reading for a stock’s implied volatility because at the money contracts are usually the most actively traded and the most sensitive to changes in volatility.

What is IV percentile?

IV percentile measures where current implied volatility sits relative to its own history, usually over the trailing year. An IV percentile of 80 means implied volatility has been lower than its current level on 80% of days in that period. It answers whether IV is high or low for this particular stock, which a raw IV figure cannot, because a 40% reading is calm for one stock and elevated for another.

What is considered high implied volatility?

There is no fixed threshold, because normal implied volatility differs by stock. A large diversified index might sit near 15% to 20%, a mega cap technology stock near 30% to 40%, and a high growth single stock above 60%. High is best assessed relative to that stock’s own history using IV percentile or IV rank rather than against an absolute number.

What is the difference between implied volatility and historical volatility?

Historical volatility measures how much a stock actually moved over a past period and is calculated from realized price data. Implied volatility is forward looking and is derived from what buyers and sellers are currently paying for options. Historical volatility describes what happened; implied volatility describes what the market expects.

What is IV crush?

IV crush is the sharp fall in implied volatility that typically follows a scheduled event such as an earnings release. Implied volatility usually rises ahead of the event as uncertainty builds, then drops once the outcome is known. Because premiums move with implied volatility, an option can lose value after the event even when the stock moves in the direction the buyer expected.

REX Expands Growth & Income ETF Suite with Five New Single-Stock Covered Call Strategies

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 04:41:55 +0000

November 4, 2025 – REX Financial (“REX”), a leader in innovative exchange-traded products, today announces the expansion of its Growth & Income Covered Call ETF suite with the launch of five new funds:

REX CRWV Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: CWII)

REX HOOD Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: HOII)

REX LLY Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: LLII)

REX PLTR Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: PLTI)

REX WMT Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: WMTI)

These additions join the existing suite of funds already live in market: the REX NVDA Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: NVII), REX COIN Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: COII), REX MSTR Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: MSII), and REX TSLA Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: TSII).

The REX Growth & Income ETFs are built to balance amplified equity exposure with recurring income, offering investors a differentiated alternative to traditional covered call funds.

Each ETF is designed to provide approximately 1.25x notional exposure to a single stock using a fully synthetic, option-based structure. This approach replicates the stock’s economic performance without requiring the fund to hold the stock directly.

To generate income, the ETFs sell out-of-the-money call options on roughly half of that exposure. This “partial overwrite” structure seeks to collect weekly option premiums while leaving the remaining portion uncapped—so investors retain directional upside potential if the stock rallies.

Distributions are paid weekly and may fluctuate based on market conditions and option pricing.

“The Growth & Income Covered Call suite is designed for modern income investors who want more than a binary choice between yield and participation,” said Greg King, CEO & Founder of REX Financial. “By combining amplified exposure with partial call-writing, we’re giving investors potential for weekly income while preserving the ability to participate in stock rallies across some of the most innovative companies in the market.”

Important Risks

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risk, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus or summary prospectus with this and other information about the REX ETFs please call 1-844-802-4004 or visit our website at rexshares.com. Read the prospectus and summary prospectus carefully before investing.

Investing in a REX ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a Fund increases the risk to the Fund. The REX ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leverage, and investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. 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. 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 underlying security’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund may not achieve its leveraged investment objective and there is a risk that you could lose all of your money invested in the Fund. In addition, the Fund presents risks not traditionally associated with other mutual funds and ETFs. It is important that investors closely review all of the risks listed below and understand them before making an investment in the Fund.

REX Growth & Income ETFs Risks. 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.

Distribution Risk. As part of the Fund’s investment objectives, the Fund seeks to provide current income. There is no assurance that the Fund will make a distribution at any given time. If the Fund does make distributions, the amounts of such distributions will likely vary greatly from one distribution to the next. Additionally, the distributions, if any, may consist of returns of capital, which would decrease the Fund’s NAV and trading price over time. As a result, an investor may suffer significant losses to their investment.

Distribution Tax Risk. The Fund currently expects to make distributions on a regular basis. While the Fund will normally pay its income as distributions, the Fund’s distributions may exceed the Fund’s income and gains for the Fund’s taxable year. The Fund may be required to reduce its distributions if it has insufficient income. Additionally, there may be times the Fund needs to sell securities when it would not otherwise do so and could cause the distributions from that sale to constitute return of capital. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital. Return of capital distributions do not represent income or gains generated by the Fund’s investment activities and should not be interpreted by shareholders as such. Distributions in excess of the Fund’s minimum distribution requirements, but not in excess of the Fund’s earnings and profits, will be taxable to Fund shareholders and will not constitute nontaxable returns of capital. A return of capital distribution generally will not be taxable but will reduce the shareholder’s cost basis and will result in a higher capital gain or lower capital loss when those Fund shares on which the distribution was received are sold. Once a Fund shareholder’s cost basis is reduced to zero, further distributions will be treated as capital gain, if the Fund shareholder holds shares of the Fund as capital assets. Additionally, any capital returned through distributions will be distributed after payment of Fund fees and expenses. Because the Fund’s distributions may consist of return of capital, the Fund may not be an appropriate investment for investors who do not want their principal investment in the Fund to decrease over time or who do not wish to receive return of capital in a given period. In the event that a shareholder purchases shares of the Fund shortly before a distribution by the Fund, the entire distribution may be taxable to the shareholder even though a portion of the distribution effectively represents a return of the purchase price.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. While the Fund’s primary investment objective is to pay weekly distributions, the Fund’s secondary investment objective is to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, between 105% and 150% the daily percentage change of the underlying stock. Therefore, the performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the targeted daily leveraged return of the stock for the same period.

Leverage Risk. The Fund seeks to achieve and maintain exposure to the price of various securities by utilizing leverage. Therefore, the Fund is subject to leverage risk.

Derivatives Risk. Investing in derivatives may be considered aggressive and may expose the Fund to greater risks, and may result in larger losses or smaller gains, than investing directly in the reference assets underlying those derivatives, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Indirect Investment Risk. The companies referenced (CoreWeave, Robinhood, Eli Lilly, Palantir, Walmart, NVIDIA, Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and Tesla) are not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any of their affiliates, and are not involved with this offering in any way. They have no obligation to consider the Funds when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the Funds.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. This means it has the ability to invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in the securities of a small number of issuers or in financial instruments with a single counterparty or a few counterparties.

New Fund Risk. As of the date of this prospectus, the Fund has no operating history and currently has fewer assets than larger funds. Like other new funds, large inflows and outflows may impact the Fund’s market exposure for limited periods of time.

Underlying Security Investing Risk. Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

Liquidity Risk. Because these Funds are ETFs, only a limited number of institutional investors (known as “Authorized Participants”) are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund. 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 of the Fund may trade at a material discount to their net asset value (“NAV”) per share and possibly face delisting: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants 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.

Guarantees or Insurance. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Comparisons Disclaimer. The ETFs shown are not meant to be a representative sample of all equity income ETFs. All funds shown are managed differently and do not react the same to economic or market events. The investment objectives, strategies, policies or restrictions of other funds may differ, and more information can be found in their respective prospectuses. Therefore, we generally do not believe it is possible to make direct fund comparisons in an effort to highlight the benefits of a fund versus another.

Out of the Money (OTM): An option with no intrinsic value. A call option is out of the money if its strike price is above the current market price of the underlying security. A put option is out of the money if its strike price is below the current market price of the underlying security.

Covered call: Owning the shares and selling call options on them for income, while capping upside above the strike.

Partial-call writing / partial-overwrite: Selling calls on only part of a stock or ETF position to get some income but leave some shares uncapped.

Option premiums: The price paid by the option buyer to the seller for the option contract.

The REX Growth and Income Advantage

Thu, 12 Jun 2025 17:41:51 +0000

REX Growth & Income ETFs: Amplified Exposure Meets Weekly Income

In a market where investors increasingly seek both capital appreciation and cash flow, the REX Growth & Income ETF suite offers a differentiated solution. These ETFs are designed to deliver a balanced blend of enhanced equity exposure and recurring income—powered by a fully synthetic, option-based strategy.

How the Strategy Works

REX Growth & Income ETFs aim to provide approximately 1.25x notional exposure to a single stock using a mix of listed options. This synthetic structure allows the fund to replicate the stock’s economic performance without holding the stock directly.

To generate income, the fund writes out-of-the-money call options on roughly half of the notional exposure. This partial overwrite allows it to collect premium income while preserving exposure to potential stock gains on the uncovered portion.

Distributions are paid weekly and may vary based on option premiums and market conditions.

Why Combine Leverage and Income?

Traditional covered call ETFs often cap most upside by writing calls on the entire portfolio. REX Growth & Income ETFs maintain amplified stock exposure while writing calls on only a portion. The result: weekly income and more flexibility to participate in rallies.

Key Features

Component	REX Growth & Income ETF
Underlying Exposure	Target ~1.25x Notional (Fully Synthetic)
Call Overwriting	~50% of Exposure
Income Frequency	Weekly

Built for Modern Income Investors

REX Growth & Income ETFs may suit:

Investors seeking weekly distributions through derivatives
Advisors constructing income-focused or tactical portfolios
Traders looking for systematic, options-based yield from single stocks

What to Know Before You Invest

This strategy is not built to outperform the underlying stock over time. Due to synthetic exposure, leverage, and daily rebalancing, the fund may underperform in volatile or flat markets. Returns can deviate from expectations, and distributions may fluctuate. Investors do not receive stock dividends or voting rights.

Still, for those focused on income frequency and structural transparency—rather than maximum yield—the strategy provides a clear, disciplined path to growth and income.

The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

The Funds’ investment adviser will not attempt to position the portfolio to ensure that a Fund does not gain or lose more than a maximum percentage of its net asset value on a given trading day. As a consequence, if a Fund’s underlying security moves more than 75%, as applicable, on a given trading day in a direction adverse to the Fund, the Fund’s investors would lose all of their money.

REX Financial Expands Growth & Income ETF Suite with New Single-Stock Covered Call Strategies on MSTR, COIN, and TSLA

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 04:31:23 +0000

Building on the successful launch of NVII, REX introduces MSII, COII, and TSII to provide investors with income generation and targeted exposure to Strategy, Coinbase, and Tesla

June 4, 2025 – REX Financial (“REX”), a leader in innovative exchange-traded products, today announces the expansion of its Growth & Income Covered Call ETF suite with the introduction of three new funds: the REX COIN Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: COII), the REX MSTR Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: MSII), and the REX TSLA Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: TSII). These funds join the recently launched REX NVDA Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: NVII), which debuted last week.

Each fund in the suite targets 1.25x* exposure to its underlying stock—Coinbase (COIN), Strategy (MSTR), or Tesla (TSLA)—while seeking to generate consistent weekly income through the strategic sale of call options on approximately half of the notional value of the portfolio. This dual approach provides uncapped upside potential on the remaining portion of the portfolio, allowing investors to maintain directional exposure to some of the most disruptive and high-growth companies in the market, while monetizing volatility to produce regular income.

“The expansion of our Growth & Income Covered Call ETF suite builds on the momentum of NVII and offers investors a differentiated way to capture the upside of transformative companies while generating weekly income,” said Scott Acheychek, COO of REX Financial. “With stocks like Coinbase, Strategy, and Tesla at the forefront of innovation in crypto infrastructure, Bitcoin adoption, and electric mobility, these funds provide a compelling way to stay invested in future-focused themes—without having to choose between participation and income”

These new funds build on the success of REX’s existing Covered Call ETF lineup and represent a continued expansion of the firm’s platform to meet rising investor demand for high-conviction, income-generating strategies tied to transformative growth themes.

*The Funds target 1.25x daily exposure to the underlying stock; however, in accordance with its investment objective, actual leverage may range between 1.05x and 1.50x.

Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in MSTR, COIN, or TSLA.

May 28, 2025 – REX Financial (“REX”), a leader in innovative exchange-traded products, today announces the launch of a new single stock covered call suite with the REX NVDA Growth & Income ETF (CBOE: NVII). NVII seeks to provide balance between growth and income by offering between 1.05x and 1.50x targeted exposure to NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) and aiming to provide weekly income by selling options on half of the targeted portfolio.

“The launch of NVII marks the beginning of an exciting new series of single stock based income strategies at REX,” said Scott Acheychek, COO of REX Financial. “With NVDA leading the AI and semiconductor revolution, NVII offers investors a unique way to generate weekly income while maintaining uncapped exposure on half of the portfolio to one of the most transformative growth stories in the market.”

The launch of NVII also marks the debut of REX’s Growth & Income Covered Call ETF Suite, building on the success of REX’s index based covered call strategies, including the REX FANG & Innovation Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: FEPI), the REX AI Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: AIPI), and the REX Crypto Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: CEPI).

*The Fund targets 1.25x daily exposure to NVDA; however, in accordance with its investment objective, actual leverage may range between 1.05x and 1.50x.

Important Risks

Investing in a REX ETF may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a Fund increases the risk to the Fund. The REX ETFs are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by sophisticated investors who understand leverage risk, consequences of seeking daily leverage, and investment results and intend to actively monitor and manage their investment. 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. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if NVDA’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if NVDA’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk. While the Fund’s primary investment objective is to pay weekly distributions, the Fund’s secondary investment objective is to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses, between 105% and 150% the daily percentage change of the common stock of NVDA. Therefore, the performance of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from the targeted daily leveraged return of NVDA for the same period.

Leverage Risk. The Fund seeks to achieve and maintain the exposure to the price of various securities by utilizing leverage. Therefore, the Fund is subject to leverage risk.

Indirect Investment Risk. Nvidia Corporation. is not affiliated with the Trust, the Adviser, or any of their affiliates, and are not involved with this offering in any way. They have no obligation to consider the Funds when taking any corporate actions that might affect the value of the Funds.
