Extending Duration Does Not Assure Higher Yield 7 Data from www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com , as of 7/6/2026. Introduction • The market doesn’t pay for taking duration risk. • Declining rates are substantially priced in the yield curve.

Page 7

• When the Fed lowers interest rates, investors aren't being adequately compensated for holding cash. • As rates decrease, maintaining income without significantly increasing overall risk becomes a key consideration for investors. • As seen in cycles from the early 2000s and 2007

2008, investors in ultrashort strategies were slow in reacting to Fed easing. They waited until cash

based yields were significantly lower than ultrashort yields. However, by then, most of the potential extra total return was missed . Ultra Short in the Context of Fed Rate Cuts

1 Year USD Corporate IG Index ISS ESG Climate Exclusion Criteria Weighting Optimization Starting universe based on the Parent Index consisting of USD

denominated, investment grade corporate bonds with maturities of less than one year from issuers based in developed markets Screens based on four themes: Must fulfill emissions thresholds, which are based on gross carbon emissions and EVIC

normalized carbon intensities, adjusted to align with the index’s 7% annual self

decarbonization trajectory. To minimize trading costs and align the index to the Parent Index, the sum of the preference

weighted turnover and risk factors, including credit rating, time to maturity, issuer and sector, are considered. Minimum bond weight: 10bps. The overall goal is to find a bond weight combination that fulfills all carbon emission thresholds while minimizing overall index turnover and maintain the risk profile of the benchmark index.

3 Years Index measures the investment grade, fixed

3 year
maturities. It includes USD denominated securities publicly issued by US and non

US industrial, utility, and financial issuers. The index was launched on December 1, 20 03. State Street U.S. Gov. Money Market Fund: The State Street U.S. Government Money Market Fund aims to maximize current income, to the extent consistent with the preserv ati on of capital and liquidity by investing in U.S. government securities with remaining maturities of one year or less and in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. gover nme nt agencies. The fund was launched on January 1, 2006. Term Definitions: Duration: A measure of a bond’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Average Yield: refers to the average rate of return earned on a bond portfolio or a specific bond over a given period. Credit Quality:
refers to the assessment of the risk that a bond issuer will default on their debt obligations. It is determined by credit ra tin g agencies and indicates the likelihood that the issuer will be able to make timely interest payments and repay the principal amount at maturity. High credit quality (e.g., AAA ratings) suggests low risk of de fau lt, while low credit quality (e.g., anything below investment grade or junk bonds) indicates higher risk. Yield to maturity: Yield to maturity (YTM) is the total return an investor can expect to earn if a bond is held until it matures, including both
in terest payments and any capital gain or loss and pressed as an annual percentage rate.

16 Important Notes: Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional
in formation can be found in the Funds' full and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.kraneshares.com/kcsh . 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 obj ectives. 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, strate gie s, or any security in particular . This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market envir onm ent at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice. Fixed income securities carry credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the chance that an issuer may fail to make inter est payments or repay principal, which can negatively impact fund performance. Securities with longer maturities and lower credit quality are more vulnerable to credit risk. Interest rate risk involves va lue changes in debt due to interest rate fluctuations; rising rates typically lower debt prices, while falling rates usually increase them. Longer

duration debt is more affected by these changes, making it more v olatile. Recent interest rate hikes may continue, increasing associated risks. The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or los ses. 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 . T he Fund is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may n ot be possible to initiate, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that
the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative. Large capitalization companies may struggle to adapt fast, impacting their growth compared to smaller firms, especially in ex pan sive times. This could result in lower stock returns than investing in smaller and mid

sized companies. KSPY is non

diversified. The Fund is new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If the Fund does not grow in size , it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid

ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a trading halt. KCSH may have trouble identifying issuers with high ESG ratings, it can be challenging, and investments may be volatile. Even top

rat ed companies might not excel compared to others in ESG practices. The ESG investment strategy limits available opportunities, potentially leading to underperformance relative to non

ESG strategi es. This could result in the Fund investing in underperforming sectors or securities. ESG investing is qualitative and subjective, and the criteria used may not align with every investor's beliefs or
va lues. ETF shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Howe ver , shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker

dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. The returns shown do not represent the return s you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning 12/ 23/ 2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best off er ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. Prior to that date, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the Bid and Ask price. NAVs are calculated using prices as
of 4:00 PM Eastern Time.
