Like Father, Like Fund

The Value of Discipline in the Next Phase of Digital Asset Investing

The qualities we often associate with great fathers like patience, consistency, responsibility, and perspective, also happen to be qualities that have long mattered in investing. Markets evolve and technologies change all while headlines come and go. Yet some principles tend to endure through every cycle: thoughtful risk management, long-term discipline, and a focus on building something designed to last.

As digital assets continue to mature as an asset class, many investors appear to be approaching the space through a similar lens. What began as a niche and often speculative corner of the market has evolved into an increasingly institutionalized segment of the global financial system. Today, the digital asset ecosystem extends far beyond cryptocurrencies themselves, encompassing miners, infrastructure providers, payment networks, custodians, and companies integrating blockchain technology into broader financial markets.

At the same time, investor priorities may be evolving. While early participation often centered on direct exposure to cryptocurrency prices, attention is increasingly shifting toward how digital assets may be incorporated into diversified portfolios through structures that may emphasize income generation, risk management, and long-term capital allocation. The next phase of digital asset adoption may be defined not only by access to the asset class itself, but by the frameworks used to participate in its growth.

Accessing the Digital Asset Economy Through a Another Lens

As the digital asset ecosystem matures, investors are increasingly exploring the credit market to gain exposure through more traditional fixed-income structures. The Digital Asset Debt Strategy ETF (DADS) was built for investors seeking participation in the digital asset economy through this fixed-income framework. Rather than holding cryptocurrencies directly, DADS invests primarily in bonds, convertible securities, and preferred securities issued by companies operating at the center of the ecosystem.

These include businesses involved in digital asset mining, corporate bitcoin treasury strategies, blockchain infrastructure, and digital finance platforms. Through their debt securities, investors may gain exposure to the growth and development of the industry while maintaining characteristics traditionally associated with fixed-income investing.

In many respects, the strategy reflects a broader institutional trend: participation in innovation through structures designed to emphasize discipline and portfolio construction.

The Value of a Structured Fixed-Income Approach

For investors evaluating digital assets within a broader portfolio context, fixed-income securities may offer several distinct characteristics:

Income Potential: Unlike many digital assets, debt instruments are designed to generate contractual cash flows through coupon payments and other income-producing features. As a result, investors may be able to participate in the growth of the ecosystem while maintaining a source of portfolio income.

Capital Structure Positioning: Debt holders generally rank senior to equity holders within a company’s capital structure. While no investment is without risk, this positioning may provide different recovery dynamics during periods of financial stress than direct equity or cryptocurrency exposure.

A Different Volatility Profile: The performance of fixed-income securities is often influenced by issuer fundamentals, credit quality, interest rates, and cash-flow generation not solely by market sentiment or short-term price movements. For investors seeking a potentially measured approach to digital asset exposure, that distinction may be meaningful.

Active Portfolio Management: Because the digital asset ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly, active management may provide flexibility to evaluate issuer quality, monitor credit conditions, manage duration exposure, and adapt portfolio positioning as market conditions change.

Investing for the Long Game

Whether building a business, supporting a family, or pursuing long-term financial goals, progress is often the result of consistency, patience, and careful decision-making over time.

The digital asset space is constantly evolving. There will likely be periods of excitement, uncertainty, rapid innovation, and market noise along the way. The conversation is becoming less about whether digital assets belong within the investment landscape and more about the most effective ways to access the other opportunities they may create.

DADS is built for investors who want exposure to digital asset innovation without abandoning the principles that have long shaped disciplined investing: income, structure, active management, and long-term perspective.

The Fund does not invest directly in digital assets; however, it will be subject to the risks associated with digital assets by virtue of this investment. The fund is subject to significant risks that are not typically present in other investments, including possible loss of principal.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. For a prospectus or summary prospectus with this and other information about the Fund, please call 866-379-6199 or visit our website at www.DADSETF.com. Read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before investing.

As used herein, Digital Asset Debt Securities, or DAD Securities, means debt securities of issuers that are directly involved in digital asset-related activities, such as mining digital assets, holding digital assets in their corporate treasury or government treasury, and/or working on platforms to facilitate payment with, or the transfer of, digital assets.

Bitcoin & Digital Assets Risk. While the Fund will not directly invest in digital assets, it will be subject to the risks associated with bitcoin by virtue of its investments in DAD Securities that hold bitcoin or other digital assets. Investing in digital assets exposes investors to significant risks that are not typically present in other investments. These risks include the uncertainty surrounding new technology, limited evaluation due to bitcoin’s short trading history, and the potential decline in adoption and value over the long term. The extreme volatility of the price of bitcoin and other digital assets is also a risk factor.

Fixed Income Securities Risk. The prices of fixed income securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to changes in an issuer’s credit rating or market perceptions about the creditworthiness of an issuer. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Changes in government intervention may have adverse effects on investments, volatility, and illiquidity in debt markets. These changes could cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate or make it more difficult for the Fund to accurately value its securities.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are financial instruments, such as futures contracts, options and swaps, that derive value from the underlying reference asset or assets, such as stocks, bonds, or funds (including ETFs), interest rates or indexes. The Fund’s investments in derivatives may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other ordinary investments, including risk related to the market, imperfect correlation with underlying investments or the Fund’s other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility, lack of availability, counterparty risk, liquidity, valuation, and legal restrictions. The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. The use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains than directly investing in securities. When the Fund uses derivatives, there may be imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying instrument and the derivative, which may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.

Convertible Securities Risk. The Fund will invest in convertible securities of companies which are preferred stocks or bonds that pay a fixed dividend or interest payment and are convertible into common stock or other equity interests at a specified price or conversion ratio during a specified period. Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain than common stocks. Also, convertible bonds generally pay less income than non-convertible bonds. Convertible securities tend to provide higher yields than common stocks. However, a higher yield may not protect investors against the risk of loss or adequately mitigate any loss associated with a decline in the price of a convertible security.

Digital Asset Treasury Companies Risk. Issuers whose business is holding bitcoin or other digital assets in their corporate treasury face unique risks as a result of holding digital assets in their corporate treasury. The speculative perception of digital assets may overshadow the fundamentals of such companies, leading to exaggerated price movements based on hype or fear. The value of the Fund’s investments in instruments that provide exposure to bitcoin corporate treasury companies – and therefore the value of an investment in the Fund – could decline significantly and without warning. If you are not prepared to accept significant and unexpected changes in the value of the Fund, you should not invest in the Fund.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risks. Investments in foreign securities may involve risks such as social and political instability, market illiquidity, exchange-rate fluctuations, a high level of volatility and limited regulation. Investing in emerging markets involves different and greater risks, as these countries are substantially smaller, less liquid, and more volatile than securities markets in more developed markets.

Liquidity. The Fund may lose money or be prevented from earning capital gains if it cannot sell security at the time and price that is most beneficial to the Fund.

High Yield Bonds. High-yield bonds have a higher risk of default or other adverse credit events but have the potential to pay higher earnings over investment grade bonds. The higher risk of default, or the inability of the creditor to repay its debt, is the primary reason for the higher interest rates on high-yield bonds. Examples of other adverse credit events are interest rate risk (when interest rates rise, bond prices fall) and economic risk (the risk associated with downturns in the economy).

Credit Risk. A bond’s credit rating reflects the issuer’s ability to make timely payments of interest or principal—the lower the rating, the higher the risk of default. If the issuer’s financial strength deteriorates, the issuer’s rating may be lowered, and the bond’s value may decline.

Municipal Securities Risk. Funds that invest in municipal obligations of issuers will be affected by economic, political, or other events affecting municipal issuers, which may affect the Fund’s ability to acquire and dispose of municipal obligations at desirable yield and price levels.

Other Investment Companies Risk. The Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses when it invests in ETFs and other investment companies. By investing in another investment company, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company and bears its proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the other investment company. There is also the risk that the Fund may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the underlying funds as the Fund will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of securities held by such investment companies. ETFs may be less liquid than other investments, and thus their share values are more volatile than the values of the investments they hold.

Mid/Small Capitalization. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid than large company stocks due to limited resources or product lines and greater sensitivity to adverse economic conditions.

New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized, giving prospective investors a limited track record on which to base their investment decision.

New Sub-Adviser Risk. Although the Sub-Adviser’s principals and the Fund’s portfolio managers have experience managing investments in the past, the Sub-Adviser has no experience managing investments for an ETF, which may limit the Sub-Adviser’s effectiveness.
