The ETFs will be listed on NASDAQ, making them available for trading through most major brokers.

There is no minimum holding period, but the ETFs are intended for daily trading or very short-term positions due to the compounding effects of leverage over time.

The 2x exposure resets daily. This means the performance of the ETF is tied to the daily percentage change of the underlying stock. Holding the ETF for longer than a day can lead to returns that differ significantly from 2x the cumulative return of the stock due to compounding.

These ETFs carry significant risks, including:

• Amplified losses: Losses are magnified in line with the leverage.
• Compounding effects: Over time, returns may diverge from the expected 2x performance due to market volatility.
• Market volatility: Higher sensitivity to price swings of the underlying stock. Investors should consult the prospectus and understand the risks fully before investing.

Our ETFs can be bought and sold like any other stock through your online brokerage account or investment advisor. Please refer to our "How to Invest" section for more information.

Themes ETFs has foregone a traditional distribution model in favor of a direct-to-investor model. We have built a lean asset management organization that minimizes distributional expenses in order to maximize cost-efficiency so we can pass these savings directly on to investors in the form of lower fees.

Broadly defined, thematic investing targets specific investment ideas, which can range from cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence to traditional industries like airlines. Our ETFs seek to provide targeted exposure to these specific segments of the market or specialty industries.

Exposure to a specific investment theme may have the potential to offer both diversification and differentiated performance relative to broad market benchmarks, which can complement the composition of a traditional balanced portfolio.
