Problem: The Debt Machine is Challenging Investors 4(MMT) Modern Monetary TheoryExtreme Over - IndebtednessDemographics •Is it time to add duration to your portfolios given the move higher in long -term interest rates? •Are fundamentals too weak to sustain current long -term yields? •After a year of risk management cuts in 2025, will higher energy costs and a resilient labor market in 2026 sustain Fed hikes and stifle growth? •Do demographics and high debt service costs breed more and more debt until we reach deflation? •Is there no way out of this debt trap? Extreme over -indebtedness has worsened dramatically, and the US fiscal situation is tenuous. BNDD uses interest rate options to enhance long duration bonds to increase the exposure if long -term yields fall and to benefit if the Fed does not cut interest rates as much as the market has currently priced in for the future.

BNDD Risk Profile Investing 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 deflation risk. Investors should take note of the following risks before i nvesting in BNDD. 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. •A Steepening Yield Curve Risk : BNDD may underperform or lose money when the forward U.S. interest rate curve steepens, perhaps significantly. When this occurs the Fund’s investments may generally underperform a portfolio consisting solely of U.S. government bonds. •Leverage Risk : BNDD’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 : BNDD’s use OTC options is not intended to mitigate counterparty risk, or non-curve interest rate risk. Additionally, BNDD invests in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. •Considered Speculative : Investing in options tied to the shape of the forward swap curve is considered speculative and can be extremely volatile. •Concentration Risk: The fund is non -diversified. 13

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 .

Since inception, BNDD has outperformed long -dated US Treasuries in various environments :
Risk On:
•BNDD outperformed during the risk on period of Q4 2021 thru Q1 2022 as it was +9.64% while
long -term Treasuries were -7.83% and the S&P500 was +5.17%. This outperformance can be
attributable to 2y yields rising during a Fed hiking cycle, causing the 2s30s yield curve to flatten .
•BNDD outperformed in the first half of 2024 . As the Fed delayed interest rate cuts, the rolldown
of the yield curve benefited BNDD’s interest rate option portfolio . BNDD was roughly flat in the
first half of the year (-0.16%), while long -term Treasuries were -5.01%.
•BNDD underperformed in 2025 as the 2y30y yield curve steepened . Furthermore, falling
implied volatility negatively affected BNDD’s option portfolio .
Risk Off:
•In Q3 2022 , as the market adjusted to restrictive monetary policy, BNDD outperformed long -
term Treasuries . BNDD was -2.98% while long -term Treasuries were -9.63%. As reference, the
S&P500 was -5.28% in Q3 2022 .
•In Q1 2025 , as equity markets declined led by the Tech sector (Nasdaq -10.42%), the rates
market began pricing in more Fed rate cuts. That caused the 2y30y yield curve to steepen and
BNDD to underperform (-0.29%) vs. long dated Treasury bonds (+4.67%).
•In the first half of 2026 , higher energy prices due to the Iranian conflict repriced Fed
expectations from cuts to hikes . BNDD NAV outperformed (+7.53%) long dated Treasury bonds
(+0.44%) as the 2y30y yield curve flattened .Cumulative % Average Annualized %

ETF liquidity isdetermined bytheasset class, notbythefund 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 arenotimpacted byother investors’ trades inthesame ETF •The ETF structure isunique inthat allinvestors transact independently onanexchange .Being alarge orsmall owner ina fund does not mean you’re more orless impacted bytheactions ofother investors .Inamutual fund, allinvestors are impacted bythetrading activity ofother holders inthefund . AnETF closure does notcreate 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 portfolio manager, and the investors would receive back NAV of the fund, minus costs, at the time of liquidation. Trading inandoutandfund size •Investors can trade in and out of a fund regardless of the fund’s AUM. ETF liquidity providers (market makers) can easily transfer the liquidity of the underlying basket into ETF shares.

![]()
An ETF is not astock •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 single -stock perspective, but with ETFs, there is more to consider . The key is to understand the difference between the primary and secondary market liquidity of an ETF. Primary Market vs. Secondary Market •Most noninstitutional investors transact inthesecondary market —which means investors aretrading theETF shares that currently exist .Secondary liquidity isthe“onscreen” liquidity youseefrom your brokerage (e.g.,volume and spreads), and it’s determined primarily bythevolume ofETF 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 offset changes in demand. Primary liquidity is concerned with how efficient it is to create or redeem shares. Liquidity in one market 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 secondary market, liquidity is primarily a function of the value of the ETF shares traded and frequency and volume of the trading of 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 primary market to “create” new ETF shares at NAV price. 21Understanding ETF Liquidity

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.kfafunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
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 greater impact on the bonds’ returns than the U.S. interest rate curve or
deflation. There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investments will eliminate or mitigate curve risk, or deflation risk on long positions in U.S. government bonds. In addition, when the forward U.S.
interest rate curve steepens, the Fund’s investments will generally underperform a portfolio comprised solely of the U.S. gov ernment bonds. In a steepening curve environment (increase in the
spread between shorter and longer term interest rates), the Fund’s strategy could result in disproportionately 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 investments in traditi onal securities and may magnify the Funds’ gains or losses. The
Fund is non -diversified and therefore has concentration risk.
ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually
redeemed from the Fund. The returns shown do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. 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 offer ("NBBO") as of the
time the ETF calculates current NAV per share.
There is no guarantee by the Fund will declare distributions in the future or that, if declared, such distributions will remain at current levels or increase over time. The Fund is non-diversified.
The Funds may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Funds’ gains or losses.
There are risks involved with investing in options including total loss of principal. Options investing is not suitable for all investors. This fund utilizes sophisticated options strategies which may
not be suitable for all investors. For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks involved in options investing, please review Characterizations and Risks of Standardized Options available at
http://www.theocc.com/about/publications/character -risks.jsp or contact the Options Clearing Corporation directly at 1 N. Wacker Dr., Suite 500, Chicago, IL 60606. (1 -888-678-4667)
