4What are managed futures? Futures markets were created over 150 years ago for a single purpose, to facilitate the transfer of price risk away from produce rs and consumers. By participating in the futures markets, a managed futures portfolio acts as an important market participant, accepting that price risk and providing liquidity to commercial interests. Futures markets are traded on public exchanges and are based on a standardized futures contracts in equ ities, bonds, currencies, and commodities.What are the benefits of investing in managed futures? The primary benefit of investing in managed futures is the mitigation of portfolio risk through an uncorrelated asset class. Further, during periods of market stress, managed futures has historically shown greater potential for negative correlations. Institutional investors may emplo y an active futures manager for a variety of reasons. However, investors of all types may use managed futures to diversify risks in a portfolio that does not already consist of derivatives. Who are active futures managers? Active futures managers are highly trained individuals designated by the CFTC as Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs), who trade futures across a wide array of commodities and other assets on behalf of clients.

22 Highly Liquid Futures Contracts Allocate Risk Across Sectors and Markets Generate Trend Signal Daily Execution KMLMThe KFA Mount Lucas Index trades 11 commodities, 6 currencies and 5 global bond markets. Risk is allocated to each sector based on relative historical volatility and rebalanced monthly. A daily trend signal is generated based on each market's price versus its long- term moving average. Signals can be long or short. Evaluates market trading signals once per day, rebalances on the first of the month and rolls futures contracts forward on a market - by-market basis. Periods of volatility create opportunities for profit, as investors assume risk that hedgers wish to avoid. When prices are more volatile, one can expect the premium businesses are willing to pay is larger, and when prices are stable, one can expect the premiums to be lower. KFA MLM Index Implementation Risk Mitigation •The index has the potential to outperform during periods of price instability and dislocation. •The index is also meant to exhibit lower volatility than the broader market during such periods, providing a meaningful diversification impact.

Important Notes Carefully consider theFunds’ investment objectives, riskfactors, charges andexpenses before investing. This andadditional information can befound intheFunds' fullandsummary prospectus, which may beobtained byvisiting www. kraneshares .com /kmlm. Read theprospectus 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, strategie 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 environment at a specific time and is not intended to be a for ecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without noti ce. KMLM may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify KMLM’s 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 p roportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and co unterparty risk. KMLM is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reaso nable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be possible to initiate, which may cause KMLM t o 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. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. The use of futures contracts is subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures con tracts include: (a) an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the reference asset and the price of the f utures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a futures c ontract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the inability to predict correctly the direction of market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; and (e) if KMLM has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities or financial instruments from its portfolio to meet daily variation margi n requirements, which may lead to KMLM selling securities or financial instruments at a loss. KMLM invests through a subsidiary, and is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. Since the Subsidiary is organized under the law of the Cayman Islands and is not registered with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as such KMLM will not receive all of the protections offered to shareholders of registered investment companies. KMLM and the Subsidiary will be considered commod ity pools upon commencement of operations, and each will be subject to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC rules. Commodity pools are subject to additional laws, regulations and enforcement policies, which may increase compliance costs and may affect the operations and performance of KMLM and the Subsidiary. Futures and other contracts may have to be liquidated at disadvantageous times or prices to prevent KMLM from exceeding any a pplicable position limits established by the CFTC. The value of a commodity -linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity and may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the Index, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity. KMLM is subject to interest rate risk, which is the chance that bonds will decline in value as interest rates rise.Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. KMLM’s 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. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, KMLM is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences tha t affect that concentration (R_US_KS_SEI) 24
