| Investment Objective: |
The Simplify Treasury Option Income ETF (the "Fund" or "BUCK") seeks to provide monthly income. The Fund invests primarily in interest income producing U.S. Treasury securities such as bills, notes, and bonds, and U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities ("TIPS") and fixed income ETFs that invest primarily in U.S. Treasuries. TIPS are securities whose principal amount increases with inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index and are designed to protect investors from inflation risk. The Fund targets an average securities portfolio duration of one year or less but does not restrict individual security maturity. Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a debt instrument when interest rates change. For example, if a note has a duration of 1 year, a 1% rise in rates would result in a 1% decline in price. The Adviser selects securities to maximize portfolio yield within the current duration target and the Adviser sells securities primarily to adjust portfolio duration. |
