For more complete information on Strategy Shares, download and view a prospectus or summary prospectus now or call (855) 477-3837 for a free prospectus or summary prospectus. You should consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other important subjects is in the fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. There is no guarantee that this, or any investment strategy, will succeed. Shares of this ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the ETF. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Total Returns are calculated using the daily 4:00pm net asset value (NAV). The first trading date is typically several days after the fund inception date. Therefore, NAV is used to calculate market returns prior to the first trade date.
The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 855-HSS-ETFS or visiting StrategySharesETFs.com. Market returns are based on the composite closing price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded the shares at other times.
Investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified” to the extent that the Fund concentrates in one or more industries so that a relative high percentage of the Fund’s assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers and/or instruments. The Fund is generally comprised of a Bond component, a Gold component, and a Commodity component. Investing in commodities markets may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The Fund may also invest in more aggressive investments, such as foreign and emerging market securities (which may expose the Fund to social and political instability, market illiquidity, a high level of volatility, limited regulation, and currency and exchange rate fluctuations) and total return swaps, futures and derivatives (which may increase the volatility of the Fund and cause the Fund to experience losses that exceed those experienced by funds that do not use total return swaps, futures and derivatives). The use of leverage can magnify the potential for gain or loss and amplify the effects of market volatility on the Fund’s shares. Investing in bonds is subject to credit, prepayment and interest rate risk. A rise in interest rates generally causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. The Fund is subject to regulatory change and tax risks; changes to current rules could increase costs associated with an investment in the Fund. These factors may affect the value of your investment.
The price of gold fluctuates over time. There is no guarantee that an investment in gold will increase or even maintain its value. Short-term, the price of gold has fluctuated widely. If gold markets continue to be characterized by wide fluctuations, the price may change in an unpredictable manner. Long-term, gold markets have historically experienced extended periods of flat or declining prices. There is no guarantee that the price of gold will move as expected relative to the U.S. dollar, nor is there any guarantee that gold will act as an effective inflation hedge. On January 5, 2025 , the Fund changed its name and investment strategy to Strategy Shares Gold Enhanced Yield ETF (formerly, Strategy Shares Gold-Hedged Bond ETF). Performance information for periods prior to January 5, 2025, does not reflect the Fund’s current investment strategy; consequently, such performance information may be less pertinent for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund, as the Fund’s performance may have been different if the Fund’s portfolio was managed under the current investment objective, strategies, and policies.
