| Investment Objective: |
The Simplify Ancorato Target 25 Distribution ETF (the "Fund" or "XXV") seeks to provide high monthly income. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). The Fund's investment adviser seeks to fulfill the Fund's investment objective by using two income strategies: (1) an interest income strategy and (2) an income generating option spread strategy. The adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, Legacy Investment Solutions, LLC d.b.a. Ancorato, to assist with portfolio construction. The sub-adviser provides investment research on individual stocks, model portfolios, fixed income allocations, and option overlay strategies as inputs to the adviser's portfolio construction process. The Fund invests primarily in interest income producing U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and fixed income ETFs that invest primarily in U.S. Government securities. The Fund targets an average securities portfolio duration of two years 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. |
