IVOL accesses the OTC Rates marketTreasuries Credit Equities 5➢IVOL provides access to the OTC rates market, which is the largest single asset class; also provides the potential for differentiated performance from stocks and bonds. Until IVOL, this market was very difficult to access without ISDAs. ➢IVOL’s OTC rates options provide exposure to the shape of the interest rate yield curve, which is largely a result of inflati on expectations. Thus, the options have the potential to increase in value with a normalization of inflation expectations. Source: Nasdaq, SIFMA and BIS. “US OTC Rates” defined as the notional value outstanding in interest rate contracts denominated in USD as of H2 2025.Key features: ➢Potential for enhanced, inflation -protected distributions. IVOL has distributed at least 30 bps per month for over 6 years in a row. ➢IVOL’s options are fully funded, so the maximum downside is known and limited to the market value of the options. ➢Through its options, IVOL is long OTC fixed income volatility , providing potential profit from market stress as volatility increases. ➢IVOL’s options have the potential to benefit from relative interest rate moves – whether those moves are lower (or negative) rates in the front end and/or higher rates in the back end – the option payoffs are agnostic to the level of interest rates .Access: IVOL Provides Exposure to the Rates Markets Relative Sizes of US Financial Markets 24%11%9% 55% OTC Rates

Important issues with the "AGG" investors should keep in mind: ➢The AGG does not contain any inflation protected bonds: No TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities). ➢Approximately 1/3 of the AGG is short Interest Rates Options due to its mortgage exposure (US homeowners are long option to p repay) and callable bonds (the corporate issuer is long the option). IVOL being long options complements the AGG by reducing short optionality. •Adding IVOL to an AGG -based portfolio may provide more diversification and can potentially offset the embedded short optionality position in the AGG.IVOL: Plugging Gaps in the AGG 1- Source: Bloomberg and Quadratic Capital as of May 29, 2026Approximately 1/3 of the AGG is Short Interest Rate Options

➢IVOL portfolio is approximately 80% US Treasuries (TIPS) ➢The only index of inflation used by TIPS is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Federal Reserve does not use CPI as its primary gauge for inflation. Roughly one -third of the entire index is rent. ➢IVOL provides investors another way potentially to profit from inflation that isn’t captured by the CPI index by using actively managed fixed income options.IVOL: Improving on TIPS alone US Treasury Inflation - Protected Securities (TIPS)Actively managed fixed income optionsTIPS Alone •TIPS are long duration ; therefore, they lose in price terms when interest rates move higher. •The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the only inflation measure used in TIPS; roughly 1/3 of CPI is rent. Rent costs may not be relevant for many investors. •Using TIPS alone linked to CPI as the only inflation protection for a portfolio is similar to owning the Dow Jones Index as a sole allocation to equities.IVOL as Potential Solution •IVOL seeks to address the duration exposure in TIPS. IVOL’s options have the potential to profit if long dated interest rates move higher or if the yield curve steepens. •IVOL gives investors another way potentially to profit from inflation rather than CPI alone. •IVOL’s options have the potential to increase in value during times of market stress •IVOL provides a way to profit from increased volatility, increased long term rates or lower than expected policy rates . 7

11IVOL Solves a Number of Portfolio Issues Fixed Income CompletionThe Bloomberg Agg Index is short fixed income volatility due to mortgages making up 24%. Homeowners are long the option to prepay, leaving mortgage investors short options/short vol. Additionally, the Agg includes no TIPS at all.IVOL can act as a potential diversifier to the Agg. IVOL provides TIPS plus future inflation expectations outside of CPI. It is also long fixed income options, which can help to hedge the short volatility intrinsic to the Agg. Real Estate Higher rates increase the all-in cost of buying a home or other property and can depress demand.IVOL may help hedge the risk of falling real estate prices brought on by rising long term interest rates. Equities Diversifier Some sectors within equities can be seen as "defensive”and used with the goal to generate yield with less equity risk than the broader market. But "low vol" stocks are still stocks, with all that implies.IVOL is a bond fund that owns fixed income volatility and may act as a market hedge since volatility has historically increased during large equity sell-offs. TIPS TIPS are set using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). About 1/3 of CPI is defined by "shelter," which is mostly rent. The only inflation exposure within TIPS is to the Consumer Price Index.IVOL owns TIPS, but they are enhanced by interest rate options. These options serve to provide exposure to a broader measure of inflation than just CPI, which may not reflect actual price increases investors confront. Floating Rate Notes (FRNs)Frequently used for their potential to profit from higher yields, FRNs have credit risk and almost no sensitivity to interest rates.IVOL has the potential to appreciate when the interest rate curve steepens and long dated inflation expectations move higher, giving investors a similar benefit to the one they are expecting from their FRN, but without the credit risk.

13IVOL shareholders have received minimum monthly distributions of 30 basis points each month
for over 6 years . Distributions in 2022 , 2023 , 2024 , and 2025 were not subject to income or
capital gains taxes . Some distributions include a partial return of capital .
As of 6/30/26, the 30-day SEC Yield is 6.31%. 30-day SEC yield is a standard yield calculation
developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer
comparisons of bond funds . It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund's
filing with the SEC. It includes any TIPS principal adjustment from inflation as income . An
exceptionally high 30-Day SEC yield may be attributable to a rise in the inflation rate, which
might not be repeated .

IVOL’s market price rose +11.97% in 2025 as the yield curve normalized and reverted to a positive slope in
2025. The market experienced its longest lasting inversion of the yield curve in the history of financial
markets during 2022 to 2024.
Risk On:
1.IVOL outperformed fixed income during the post -COVID recovery period. During Q1 2020 to Q1 2021,
IVOL NAV was +13.63% while AGG was +0.71%. As long -end yields rebounded, IVOL’s options benefited
while fixed income duration risk underperformed.
Risk Off:
1.During the onset of COVID, the peak to trough in S&P500 was -33.92% from Feb19 to Mar23 of 2020.
During this period, the AGG was -0.94% and IVOL NAV gained +4.02%.
2.During the 2023 SVB Crisis, IVOL’s NAV was +16.02% from March 8th-15th as worries escalated around
the US banking system.
3.During the 7 -weeks spanning local equity highs and lows around “Liberation Day 2025”, S&P500
experienced a -18.90% drawdown. IVOL NAV gained +9.83% while the AGG gained +1.03%. IVOL
benefited from rebalancing its options during this period of heightened volatility. Cumulative % Average Annualized %

IVOL Potential Tax Advantage
• The tax treatment of IVOL’s distributions is potentially compelling when compared to TIPS ETFs or other tax -
efficient strategies. This is because the options inside of IVOL receive ordinary tax treatment, which many
investors may find beneficial.
• IVOL is treated as a separate entity for federal tax purposes. The Fund expects that most of its income will be
ordinary income because the assets underlying the rate -linked derivative instruments in which it invests are not
capital assets.
• The fund is taxed on Net Income, which includes interest income from the Treasuries less any realized losses on
the options portfolio. Since the options are treated as ordinary assets and not capital assets, options expiring out
of the money can provide tax benefits to the fund’s distributions. If the fund’s net income is less than the
distribution, the difference will be treated as a return of capital and not taxed.

15Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its state d objectives, including its objective of eliminating curve or inflation risk. Investors should take note of the following risks before inve sting in IVOL. A more thorough discussion of options investing can be found on the Options Clearing Corporation’s website. A link to which can be found in the Important Notes section of this presentation.IVOL Risk Profile •A Flattening Yield Curve Risk: IVOL may underperform or lose money when the U.S. interest rate curve flattens or inverts, perhaps significantly. When this occurs the Fund’s investments may generally underperform a portfolio consisting solely of U.S. government bonds •Leverage Risk: IVOL’s OTC options may give rise to a form of leverage, which may magnify the Fund’s potential for gain and the risk of loss. The Fund may potentially be more volatile than a portfolio of traditional investments such as stocks or bonds. •Liquidity & Counterparty Risk: OTC options may be subject to liquidity risk and counterparty risk. •Credit & Non -Curve Interest Rate Risk: IVOL’s use OTC options is not intended to mitigate credit risk, or non -curve interest rate risk. Additionally, IVOL invests in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. •Considered Speculative: Investing in options tied to the shape of the swap curve is considered speculative and can be extremely volatile. •Concentration Risk: The fund is non -diversified.

16ETF liquidity is determined by the asset class, not by the fund size •Exchange -traded funds (ETFs) are a wrapper, and although an investor may hold a large percentage of an ETF, one must look at the percentage owned of the underlying asset class. ETF investors are not impacted by other investors’ trades in the same ETF •The ETF structure is unique in that all investors transact independently on an exchange. Being a large or small owner in a f und does not cause one investor to be more or less impacted by the actions of other investors. In a mutual fund, all investors ar e impacted by the trading activity of other holders in the fund. An ETF closure does not create principal risk •If a fund were to close, neither large nor small investors would have a principal risk. The fund would be liquidated by the p ortfolio manager, and the investors would receive back NAV of the fund, minus costs, at the time of liquidation. Trading in and out and fund size •Investors can trade in and out of a fund regardless of the fund’s AUM. ETF liquidity providers (market makers) can easily tr ansfer the liquidity of the underlying basket into ETF shares. Market makers also accept NAV based orders for larger tickets.

17An ETF is not a stock
•If an ETF does not trade a certain number of shares per day, is the fund illiquid? No. It’s a plausible assumption from a si ngle-stock
perspective, but with ETFs, there is more to consider. The key is the difference between the primary and secondary market liq uidity of
an ETF.
Primary Market vs. Secondary Market
•Most noninstitutional investors transact in the secondary market —which means investors are trading the ETF shares that currently
exist. Secondary liquidity is the “on screen” liquidity you see from your brokerage (e.g., volume and spreads), and it’s dete rmined
primarily by the volume of ETF shares traded.
•However, one of the key features of ETFs is that the supply of shares is flexible —shares can be “created” or “redeemed” to offse t
changes in demand. Primary liquidity is concerned with how efficient it is to create or redeem shares. Liquidity in one marke t is not
indicative of liquidity in the other market.
•The determinants of primary market liquidity are different than the determinants of secondary market liquidity. In the second ary
market, liquidity is primarily a function of the value of the ETF shares traded and the frequency and volume of the trading o f those
shares throughout the trading day. When placing a large trade —on the scale of tens of thousands of shares —investors are
sometimes able to circumvent an illiquid secondary market by using an “authorized participant” (AP) to reach through to the p rimary
market to “create” new ETF shares at NAV price.Understanding ETF Liquidity

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The 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 their original cost. Current pe rformance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please visit www.IVOLETF.com . ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large transactions with institutional investors. Shares of any ETF are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV). Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't availabl e, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Tim e. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you bought and sold shares at other times. Any brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There is no guarantee the Fund will declare distributions in the future or that, if declared, such distributions will remain at current levels or increase over time. Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated investment objectives. The Fund does not seek to mitigate credit risk, non -curve interest rate risk, or other factors influencing the price of U.S. government bonds, which factors may have a gr eater impact on the bonds’ returns than the U.S. interest rate curve or inflation. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investments will eliminate or mitigate curve risk, or inflation ris k on long positions in U.S. government bonds. In addition, when the forward U.S. interest rate curve flattens, the Fund’s investments will generally underperform a portfolio comprised solely of the U.S. government bonds. In a flattening curve environment (a reduction in the spread between shorter and longer term interest rates), the Fund’s strategy could result in disproportion ately larger losses in the Fund’s options as compared to gains or losses in the U.S. government bond positions. The Fund’s exposure to options subjects the Fund to greater volatility than inv estments in traditional securities and may magnify the Funds’ gains or losses. The Fund is non -diversified and therefore has concentration risk. OTC options generally have more flexible terms negotiated between the buyer and the seller. As a result, such instruments gen erally are subject to greater counterparty risk. OTC instruments also may be subject to greater liquidity risk. There are risks involved with investing in options including the potential loss of the amount, or premium paid for the option.
