Investment Strategy

The KraneShares KWEB Defined Outcome ETFs aim to match the price return of KWEB to predetermined caps with varying degrees of downside protection over the Outcome Period, from January 27, 2025 to January 15, 2027.

Defined Outcome ETF Features

  • A defined outcome ETF is an exchange-traded fund that seeks to provide investors with upside returns of an underlying asset subject to an upside return "Cap" while protecting shareholders by providing a "Buffer" against decreases in the price return of the underlying asset. The upside cap may be higher for underlying assets with higher volatility.
  • Defined outcome ETFs invest in the underlying asset and FLexble EXchange® Options (Flex Options) on the underlying asset. The ETF manages the options exposure for investors, which can be more economical and time efficient than buying individual options.

KPRO & KBUF Features

  • KPRO provides upside participation with a cap of 20.01% and a 100% downside buffer on KWEB, an established ETF with a deep options market.
  • KBUF provides upside participation with a cap of 40.01% and a 90% downside buffer on KWEB.
  • KWEB provides exposure to the China internet sector, which has historically been more volatile than the US internet/technology sector. As a result, KBUF and KPRO may have higher upside caps than other defined outcome strategies.
  • We believe China Internet is an important global growth theme, and China's online retail sales totaled over $2 trillion in 2024, compared to only $1 trillion in the United States.

What is a Defined Outcome Strategy?

  • A defined outcome strategy seeks to minimize downside risks in exchange for some amount of upside potential.
  • Defined outcome strategies pair call options (rights to buy a security) with put options (rights to sell the same security) in equal amounts, at the requisite levels to achieve the desired outcome.
  • They are intended to provide returns in excess of the risk-free rate, should the underlying investment have a positive return that also exceeds the risk-free rate, while mitigating downside risks.
  • They are most effective when the underlying investment is volatile but possesses significant upside potential.

Term Definitions

Correlation: The degree to which two securities or variables move in tandem with one another. This is generally expressed as a "coefficient" of correlation, which is a value between -1 and 1 with 1 indicating they move precisely in line with one another and -1 indication no discernible correlative relationship.

P/E Ratio: The price-to-earnings ratio is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). The price-to-earnings ratio is also sometimes known as the price multiple or the earnings multiple.

Earnings per Share (EPS): Earnings per share is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability.

Net Income: The money a company receives after accounting for all expenses, including the cost of goods sold, labor costs, taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization. This is meant to be a measure of a company's profits during a given period.

2-Year Rolling Returns: Calculated on a daily basis, this refers to the return an investor would have received having invested precisely two years prior.

Important Notes

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds' full and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting: www.kraneshares.com/kpro and/or www.kraneshares.com/kbuf. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Risk Disclosures

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strategies, or any security in particular. This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change.

The Funds have characteristics unlike many other traditional investment products and may not be suitable for all investors. An investment in the Funds may not be appropriate for investors who do not intend to hold Fund shares for the entire Outcome Period.

A new Cap is set at the start of each Outcome Period and depends on current market conditions. Therefore, the Cap may change between Outcome Periods and is unlikely to stay constant.

The Funds may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Funds' gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset's market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses.

Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. The Funds will use FLEX options from the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). There's a risk of the OCC failing to meet its obligations. Some FLEX options may expire worthless. The value of these options is associated with KWEB and influenced by factors such as market fluctuations and time until expiration.

Page 19

Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Funds' assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. KPRO and KBUF are non-diversified.

The ability of the Funds to achieve their respective investment objectives is dependent, in part, on the continuous availability of A Shares and the ability to obtain, if necessary, additional A Shares quota. The Funds are subject to political, social or economic instability within China which may cause decline in value. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increase volatility and lower trading volume. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values.

ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

The KraneShares ETFs and KFA Funds ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company (SIDCO), 1 Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the Investment Adviser for the Funds, or any sub-advisers for the Funds.
